Chapter 62: Traces Exposed?

Just as Tang Xuan was about to head to the bedroom to treat Wang Li, a group of people suddenly burst into the Wang residence.

Every single one of them wore a menacing look, their eyes filled with murderous intent. In an instant, the crowd surrounded the entire living room.

Wang Tao demanded angrily, "Who on earth are you people, daring to break into the Wang residence as you please!"

From within the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped forward with a smug smile on his face.

"Ma Chen!"

"What is the meaning of this!"

The Ma family of Junyang City, the sworn rivals of the Wang family.

The rivalry between the Wang and Ma families in Junyang City could be traced back twenty years. Both families operated in the real estate industry, and their open and covert struggles had been ongoing since Wang Li's generation.

Ma Chen sneered as he looked at Wang Tao. The reason he had suddenly barged into the Wang estate with his men was very simple.

Ma Chen's father did not want to see Wang Li survive.

Only with Wang Li dead would the Ma family have a chance to become the sole titan of Junyang City's real estate sector.

Originally, the Ma family only needed to bide their time, but the sudden appearance of Tang Xuan halfway through had infuriated them. Over the past two months, Tang Xuan's miraculous medical skills had left everyone astounded. The Ma family knew there was a genuine possibility that Wang Li might actually be cured by him.

Therefore, at this crucial moment, Ma Chen had led his men directly into the Wang household.

Of course, Ma Chen would not brazenly stop Tang Xuan from treating Wang Li; he had another method to make Wang Li refuse Tang Xuan's treatment of his own accord.

"Ma Chen, are you trying to start a war with my Wang family?"

"If you want to drag us down with you in a mutual destruction, the Wang family will play along to the bitter end."

Ma Chen waved his hand dismissively. Mutual destruction would bring no benefits to the Ma family, so naturally, it was not something he wished to see.

"Wang Tao, don't get so worked up. I'm actually here to save your father."

At these words, Wang Tao let out a cold sneer. The Ma family wished nothing more than for his father to die; how could they possibly come to save him?

"My father has a divine doctor attending to him, I don't need your help."

"A divine doctor?"

Ma Chen burst into loud laughter. He scanned the living room before finally fixing his gaze on Tang Xuan.

"You? A divine doctor?"

"May I ask, esteemed divine doctor, have you really cured those people?"

Ma Chen's words left everyone present feeling baffled. Every single person Tang Xuan had treated and saved had recovered completely—this was common knowledge throughout Junyang City. How could he possibly raise such a question?

Su Qin, standing beside Tang Xuan, was well aware of the animosity between the Ma and Wang families. She also knew that the Ma family did not want Wang Li to live. But why was the Ma family's hostility directed at Tang Xuan?

The fact that those people had been cured by him was well known to all; that was an undeniable reality.

Wang Tao demanded, "Ma Chen, what are you getting at?"

Ma Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you just ask him?"

Wang Tao looked toward Tang Xuan, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

"Divine doctor, what does he mean?"

Tang Xuan waved his hand dismissively; he had no idea what kind of medicine Wang Tao—or rather, Ma Chen—was selling in his gourd.

"If you have something to say, stop talking nonsense and wasting time."

Ma Chen pulled out a stack of photographs and tossed them onto the table in front of Wang Tao.

"These are all the patients he supposedly treated, including that old beggar. Without exception, every single one of them died sudden and violent deaths."

"His curing people was nothing more than an illusion."

Panicking, Wang Tao snatched the photographs up from the table. The people in the photographs had suffered horrifying and gruesome deaths.

Liu Hao popped out from who knows where and scurried over to Wang Tao's side. When he saw those photographs, he became so ecstatic he started dancing with joy.

"Hahahaha!"

"Your facade has finally been exposed."

"After causing the deaths of so many people, let's see how you're going to give an accounting to the citizens of Junyang City."

Liu Hao was dying to share the photographs with everyone right then and there, so that the people of Junyang City could see Tang Xuan's true colors.

Su Qin looked at Tang Xuan in utter astonishment. She had always suspected that there was something peculiar about Tang Xuan's treatments; after all, those people had all been suffering from terminal illnesses, yet they had been cured by Tang Xuan with effortless ease. Now it seemed certain that he must have used some kind of trickery to fabricate those illusions.

Liu Hao strode up to Tang Xuan, putting on the air of an inquisitor demanding accountability.

"Speak! Exactly how did you murder these people!"

"To think you even put on the act of a divine doctor. In my eyes, you're nothing more than a fraud."

"You've killed so many people, you're finished."

Tang Xuan looked at Ma Chen with a gaze as cold as ice.

No one noticed that deep within Tang Xuan's eyes surged a fierce murderous intent. The people he had cured had definitely recovered completely. Of that, no one was more certain than Tang Xuan himself. Those people could never have dropped dead for no reason.

There was only one explanation.

The deaths of these people were inextricably linked to the Ma family.

And the reason the Ma family had done this was because they did not want Wang Li to be cured. Their true target was Wang Li, yet they had sacrificed so many innocent lives to achieve it.

Tang Xuan had never claimed to be a saint. But neither would he allow innocent people to die because of him!

Wang Tao glared at Tang Xuan with fury.

"I paid you one and a half billion, and you actually dared to deceive me?"

"I placed all my hopes on you, and you played me for a fool?"

Seeing that Wang Tao's trust in Tang Xuan had vanished completely, Ma Chen felt a surge of immense elation. His goal had been achieved. Without even needing to lift a finger himself, the matter had been resolved to perfection. Moreover, Wang Tao would certainly not let Tang Xuan off the hook; once Tang Xuan was dealt with, Wang Li would be utterly beyond saving.

Tang Xuan looked calmly at Ma Chen.

"Before you murdered those people, did you ever consider what the consequences would be?"

Of course Ma Chen had never considered it. Those people were nothing more than ordinary folks, so unremarkable that no one would care about their deaths. To someone in a position of power like Ma Chen, killing a few commoners was hardly a matter of any consequence.

However, he naturally wouldn't admit to it now.

"What are you talking about?"

"You're the one who murdered these people, and now you want to frame someone else?"

Liu Hao pointed his finger at Tang Xuan, jumping up and down as he accused him, "This is all your fault, and you still have the nerve to blame others?"

Ma Chen smiled and said, "I never treated these people, so how could their deaths possibly have anything to do with me?"

Tang Xuan said indifferently, "Your plan was very clever, because of your high status, no one would ever suspect your words."

"And the fact that I was able to cure those people is indeed a most incredible feat."

"Therefore, even more people would be inclined to believe you."

"However... you missed one detail."

Ma Chen's smile faded. His plan could be called airtight; how could there possibly be any flaw in it? But right now, he could not afford to show any weakness or let Tang Xuan lead him into saying things he shouldn't.

"I haven't the slightest idea what you're babbling about."

Tang Xuan suddenly burst into laughter.

"You only knew that I possessed the skill to heal the sick and save lives..."

"Yet you didn't know that my ability to kill far surpasses my skill in healing."

"That is the single biggest flaw in your plan."

The next second, Tang Xuan vanished and instantly reappeared right in front of Ma Chen.

Su Qin's heart was shaken to its core!

It was only at this very moment that she finally understood why Qi Dao had felt such dread toward Tang Xuan, and why he had been so willing to remain by Tang Xuan's side.

He was actually also a martial cultivator of formidable realm!
