From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Xu Chunliang knew that Yu Xiangdong and Wu Fajun had a good personal relationship, so he asked about Wu Fajun’s current situation. Yu Xiangdong told him that Huanyuan Health had just sent someone named Feng Zhongya to take charge, and Wu Fajun basically had no power left. A couple of days ago, when they were drinking at Wu Fajun’s place, Wu hinted at leaving, and it seems it’s going to happen soon.

Xu Chunliang asked around for Wu Fajun’s address, using the excuse that he had something he wanted to personally deliver to him.

Yu Xiangdong didn’t think too much about it and directly gave Xu Chunliang the address.

Good news came from the operating room: Ding Si’s surgery was completed in less than half an hour, very smoothly and successfully. It is estimated that a few days of recovery will allow him to be discharged. Normally, Shu Yuanhang would not perform such surgeries personally, but only Xu Chunliang could pull such strings.

Wu Fajun lived at Mingchuan Yajun, next to Changxing Hospital, in a rented apartment. At his level of management, the hospital provided subsidies, so he didn’t have to pay rent himself.

The complex wasn’t large, and the management was quite lax, with average conditions. The choice to live here was simply for convenience.

Xu Chunliang swaggered into the community, and the unit door was unlocked. He pulled it open, got onto the elevator, and smoothly reached Room 703, where Wu Fajun lived.

Xu Chunliang wasn’t sure whether Wu Fajun was home. He knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it.

"Who is it?"

"SF Express!"

The door opened, and Wu Fajun saw the visitor and was taken aback. Wasn’t it supposed to be SF Express? Why was it Xu Chunliang?

Xu Chunliang cheerfully said to him, "President Wu, you didn’t expect it to be me, right?"

Wu Fajun’s smile was a bit stiff: "Director Xu, how did you know I lived here? You didn’t even call ahead so I could prepare." This uninvited visit was somewhat impolite, and Wu Fajun, naturally suspicious, first doubted Xu Chunliang’s motives.

"Just came over to see you."

Xu Chunliang walked in without even changing his shoes.

Wu Fajun couldn’t really stop him. Inside the room were several packed suitcases, it seemed that Yu Xiangdong was right—Wu Fajun was ready to resign and leave.

Xu Chunliang boldly sat down on the sofa, "Is President Wu heading out?"

Wu Fajun sensed that the visitor had ill intentions, and he said to Xu Chunliang, "Take a seat first, I’ll boil some water for tea."

Xu Chunliang shook his head and said, "No need to busy yourself, I came here to discuss something with you."

Wu Fajun opened the fridge and took out two bottles of water, handing one to Xu Chunliang, "What do you want to talk about with me?"

Xu Chunliang didn’t drink it, holding the bottle of water in his hand: "Do you still remember President Ding from Dingli Construction?"

Wu Fajun nodded and said, "Yes, he contracted some projects at Changxing. I’ve run into him a few times." In fact, Wu Fajun had more than just a few run-ins with Ding Si. The project for the Health and Elderly Care Hospital sample area built by Huanyuan in Weishan Island was contracted by Ding Si, and as the vice president of Huanyuan Health, Wu Fajun went there many times; he was very familiar with Ding Si.

Xu Chunliang said, "He got stabbed this morning."

Wu Fajun was genuinely unaware of this and asked, surprised, "Is it serious? Who did it?" He was puzzled, wondering why Xu Chunliang was telling him about Ding Si getting stabbed. What did it have to do with him?

Xu Chunliang took out his phone and enlarged a photo on it: "Do you know this person?"

Wu Fajun leaned in to look closely and shook his head: "No impression."

"Let me remind you, when we fought together at Hidden Dragon Lake."

Wu Fajun suddenly realized, "When you put it that way, I do remember, this person was indeed among them."

"You know him?"

Wu Fajun nodded and then shook his head again, "Just like you, I saw him once on the day of the fight, and never again after. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have remembered."

Xu Chunliang said, "If you hadn’t rushed up that day, the fight might not have started. Maybe I would still be at Changxing Hospital."

Wu Fajun looked at Xu Chunliang and said, "I really was impulsive that time, Director Xu, I apologize."

Xu Chunliang said, "Then tell me, how exactly did you wrong me?"

Wu Fajun knew from the start that Xu Chunliang came with ill intentions, and now he basically understood the other’s purpose; Xu Chunliang was here to settle past grievances. He sighed and said, "At that time, I also had good intentions. Seeing you were in trouble, I wanted to help out of camaraderie, but I didn’t expect to cause you such a big problem. I’ve always felt uneasy about it."

Xu Chunliang said, "We were just regular colleagues, your reaction at that time was very unusual, whether it was in good faith is debatable."

Wu Fajun said, "Director Xu, saying it like that isn’t fair. Are you suggesting that I orchestrated this whole scenario? That I arranged for Gao Xiaobai to have conflicts with others? That I arranged for that woman to hit Gao Xiaobai’s car?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I didn’t say that. The woman who hit Gao Xiaobai’s car is named Sheng Chaomei, the cousin of Sheng Chaohui, the General Manager of Enheng Pharmaceutical. She did call someone back then, named Dong Xibiao, who once worked at Enheng Pharmaceutical but was fired for misconduct. He received benefits from Sheng Chaomei. I remember you also worked at Enheng, right?"

Wu Fajun said, "Enheng Pharmaceutical is so big, I can’t possibly know everyone."

Xu Chunliang said, "Even if the car accident was a coincidence, you are still suspected of deliberately escalating the conflict."

Wu Fajun sneered, "Why would I help you fight? I also have to bear responsibility. I just became the Deputy General Manager of Huanyan Health, why would I bring trouble upon myself? If you think I deliberately plotted against you, I have nothing more to say."

Xu Chunliang said, "Maybe your goal was to use this incident to force me out of Changxing. Later events also showed that someone deliberately amplified the impact of the fight. Videos of me fighting are everywhere online, and they all focus on me. If you’re going to act, do the whole routine, why not give yourself more screen time? You were the first to rush forward and fight."

Wu Fajun said, "I can’t control who people choose to film. Those spreading the videos are your enemies. I can’t be both fighting for you and filming videos of you at the same time. Are you being a bit paranoid?"

Xu Chunliang said, "In the past, I always thought you were from the Huayuan Sect, sent to supervise Zhao Feiyang and his wife, but later I found the Tang Brothers don’t really like you, nor does Zhao Feiyang."

Wu Fajun looked coldly at Xu Chunliang. Was this guy planning to fully confront him today? He wasn’t afraid of him; Xu Chunliang had no evidence in hand. His gaze dropped and caught a glimpse of the water bottle in Xu Chunliang’s hand; Xu Chunliang hadn’t taken a sip.

Xu Chunliang said, "After ruling out these possibilities, what’s left is Pei Lin. Your appointment as Deputy General Manager of Huanyan Health should be due to Pei Lin’s strong recommendation."

Wu Fajun said, "I got the Deputy General Manager position through the proper procedures. I didn’t pull any strings. I didn’t even know Pei Lin before I joined Huanyan."

Xu Chunliang said, "The reason I haven’t moved against you before is that I thought you were just a minor character, and I wanted to see who was really behind you. Besides, it wasn’t the right time to expose you. If I pull you out, Pei Lin falls too. What’s the real relationship between you and Pei Lin?"

Wu Fajun angrily said, "Pei Lin is already dead. Isn’t it disrespectful for you to speak like this?"

Xu Chunliang retorted, "Are you even qualified to talk about respect?" His gaze sharpened like a blade.

Under Xu Chunliang’s intense stare, Wu Fajun felt inner turmoil. Xu Chunliang was imposing like a mountain pressing down on him.

Wu Fajun abruptly stood up, trying to remain calm, and glared at Xu Chunliang, "You’re too rude. Now, please leave."

Xu Chunliang said, "I once thought you and Pei Lin shared the same kind of relationship as Yang Mufeng, but after giving it some thought, it seems unlikely. You and Pei Lin didn’t have much overlap in the past, and Pei Lin wasn’t a simple woman. To get her on your side, there are only two possibilities: either she likes you, or you have something on her. I think it’s the latter, isn’t it?"

Wu Fajun was amazed at Xu Chunliang’s shrewdness, while also feeling a wave of fear; it seems his actions have long been seen through, only waiting for the right opportunity. Xu Chunliang is truly a formidable person.

Wu Fajun said, "Xu Chunliang, you’d better leave immediately, or I’ll have the property management throw you out."

Xu Chunliang laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in Wu Fajun’s ears; Wu Fajun had never heard such demonic laughter, as if his voice penetrated deep into his brain.

His eyelids began to feel heavy, and Wu Fajun smelled a sweet scent.

Xu Chunliang picked up the bottle of water from the table and said, "You really have guts, daring to poison me, do you really think I wouldn’t notice?"

Wu Fajun vigorously shook his head, trying to clear his mind, but he felt bewitched, ready to fall asleep at any moment; his surroundings became blurry.

Xu Chunliang’s voice remained crystal clear: "Three Yin Ice Soul Gu, colorless and transparent. After being poisoned, from the Waking of Insects to the Autumnal Equinox, the first and fifteenth of each month, one will be tormented by Gu poison with intolerable itching throughout the body, easing only after the Beginning of Winter, and repeating endlessly, never ceasing. You’re truly wicked."

"I didn’t... I didn’t..." Wu Fajun’s remaining consciousness desperately fought against Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang said, "You know how to use Gu poison, but do you know how to dispel it?"

He handed the water bottle to Wu Fajun: "Since you say this water is non-toxic, drink it in front of me."

Wu Fajun didn’t want to drink, but a voice in his head ordered him to do so. Wu Fajun finally unscrewed the cap and gulped down the water, drinking it all, not leaving a drop.

As he drank, fear filled his eyes, his facial expression became severely distorted; though his mind didn’t want to, his body didn’t obey. However, his consciousness cleared up after drinking the water.

Xu Chunliang said, "I thought the method of making this Gu was lost long ago, surprised it still exists."
