C59 The Hidden Killing Intent of the Godly Doctor Xia

"Godly Doctor Xia, when you were treating Huang earlier, I accidentally got the whole thing on camera."

"Just think, if I were to upload the video online, so many people would be in awe of your exceptional medical skills, wouldn't they?"

Lin Chen observed the flicker of panic deep in Godly Doctor Xia's eyes and gave him a sly smile.

Post it online?

Upon hearing this, the panic in Godly Doctor Xia's eyes intensified.

Yet outwardly, he feigned composure and said, "Young man, I've never been one for seeking fame or fortune."

"Therefore, there's no need to share the video online."

"Besides, the treatment method is part of my personal research, so I'd ask you to delete it."

Watching Godly Doctor Xia maintain his cool facade, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration.

Truly an old fox, with nerves of steel.

"Godly Doctor Xia, to be honest, I'm not the least bit concerned about the paper in your pocket..."

"Oops, my mistake, I meant the video on my phone. If the Huang family were to see it,"

"They'd be grateful to you for generations."

Lin Chen cast a meaningful glance at Godly Doctor Xia's pocket, his reminder heavy with implication.

The paper in my pocket?

In that instant, Godly Doctor Xia's face showed a trace of change.

He was certain Lin Chen hadn't misspoken; it was a deliberate warning!

He was all too aware of the note's contents.

It read: Kill Old Huang and receive fifty million yuan. If he doesn't die, you die!

Yet, Godly Doctor Xia couldn't fathom how this young man knew about the shredded note.

"Young man, what are you implying?" he asked, narrowing his eyes, a chill seeping into his gaze.

He knew all too well that aside from the note, if the Huang family learned from Lin Chen's video that he played a part in hastening Old Mr. Huang's demise, he'd be in deep trouble.

"Godly Doctor Xia, here's the thing: my phone isn't exactly reliable."

"If someone were to sponsor me with a few tens of millions for a new phone, I'd smash this one right here and now!"

Seeing the realization dawn on Godly Doctor Xia's face, Lin Chen let out a chuckle.

He had initially thought Godly Doctor Xia was at the hospital on the Huang family's behalf to provide treatment.

However, as he observed the treatment of Old Man Huang, he sensed that something was amiss.

Old Man Huang's cancer diagnosis was actually due to the severity of his internal injuries.

Over time, this led to the spread of cancer cells.

Conventional treatment methods would only backfire.

Yet, Godly Doctor Xia managed to contain the cancer cells, indicating that he was well aware of Old Man Huang's specific condition!

The true purpose of the pill and silver needle was to exacerbate Old Man Huang's internal injuries, hastening his meeting with King Yama!

"Godly Doctor Xia is indeed clever," he mused.

"First, make Old Man Huang appear significantly better, then after his death..."

"He can provide closure to the Huang family and fulfill his objective of eliminating Old Man Huang, all without raising any suspicion."

"It's unfortunate for him that I stumbled upon such a clever scheme."

Lin Chen reflected with a touch of irony.

He had no interest in the backstory of Old Man Huang or Godly Doctor Xia.

As long as Godly Doctor Xia was ready to pay up, the rest were mere details.

"Lin Chen, have you lost your mind?"

"Why are you asking Godly Doctor Xia for tens of millions just to change your phone?"

Ann Lan, puzzled and unable to stand by any longer, confronted Lin Chen.

She thought Lin Chen was treating Godly Doctor Xia like a fool, trying to swindle him!

Who would pay tens of millions for a mere video?

No one in their right mind, not even a dog, would agree to that!

"Young man, is 50 million enough for a new phone?"

Godly Doctor Xia responded to Lin Chen with a grave tone, right after Ann Lan's remark.

He was uncertain whether Lin Chen was privy to the truth, but he couldn't risk it.

This was a matter of life and death; a wrong gamble could mean disaster.

"True to form, Godly Doctor Xia is incredibly generous."

Lin Chen didn't hesitate and promptly accepted the offer.

Godly Doctor Xia then somewhat reluctantly pulled out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chen.

The previous fifty million for Old Man Huang could be claimed from the Huang family, but this fifty million would come out of his own pocket.

"Godly Doctor Xia, you might want to make a transfer instead, to be on the safe side."

Lin Chen glanced at the bank card and cheerfully reminded Godly Doctor Xia.

Shortly after Godly Doctor Xia completed the transfer, Lin Chen, without any hesitation, deleted the video right in front of him.

Smashing his phone was out of the question!

After all, the phone was a brand-new purchase from the crazy lady just two days prior!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The moment Lin Chen finished deleting the video, Old Man Huang, lying in the hospital bed, began to cough violently, spewing blood with each hack.

The entire ward was taken aback by the sight.

Had Lin Chen's prediction come true?

Within three minutes, Old Man Huang would be coughing up blood profusely, and within ten, he'd be dead.

Hadn't the first part of that prophecy just been confirmed?

"Old Man Huang, are you feeling a sense of panic, a heaviness in your chest?"

"And your limbs, are they incredibly weak, almost to the point of spasms?"

Unfazed by the crowd's astonishment, Lin Chen inquired with a mischievous grin.

"How did you know?"

"Wait, you said I'd die within ten minutes, is that true?"

Old Man Huang managed to say, between coughs of blood.

In that moment, he pieced together the odd exchange between Lin Chen and Godly Doctor Xia.

Even Godly Doctor Xia had been willing to hand over fifty million yuan to Lin Chen.

It was all a scheme orchestrated by Godly Doctor Xia!

"Forty million yuan, just give me that amount."

"I'll heal your internal injuries immediately."

Lin Chen spread his five fingers wide, then after a brief pause, he retracted one finger.

He addressed Old Man Huang with a dead-serious look.

Damn it!

This little scoundrel, his heart was pitch black.

It made sense now why he hadn't batted an eye at my fifty million yuan.

He was setting a trap for me all along!

At this moment, Old Man Huang was swearing up a storm internally.

He was itching to show Lin Chen exactly what he thought of him – Old Huang wasn't one to choose money over life.

But halfway through his glare, he lost his nerve.

The fact that someone had paid Godly Doctor Xia to kill him signaled that the Huang family was teetering on the edge of collapse.

If he were to die now, what would become of his graceless heirs?

"Big brother, isn't it a bit hurtful to bring up money between us?" Old Man Huang, fighting back the urge to cough up blood, forced a smile as he addressed Lin Chen.

"Hmm... Clear accounts make for good brothers. Wouldn't it be more hurtful to our relationship if we avoided the topic of money?" Lin Chen responded thoughtfully.

"Moreover, that fifty million yuan was essentially made by me... I helped you earn it, so it's only fair and reasonable that I get a share now," he added.

After a brief pause, Lin Chen spoke with conviction, "And let's not forget, I'm no charlatan. When I say I'll cure you, rest assured, you will be cured!"
