From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Wu Fajun regained a bit of his senses and dug two fingers into his throat, trying to vomit out the water he had drunk.

Xu Chunliang laughed, "It’s too late. I’ve been holding this bottle of water for a long time to warm it up for you. Once drunk, the Gu worms are full of vitality, and even if you spit out the water, you can’t stop them from settling in your body."

"I will fight you to the end!" Wu Fajun lunged at Xu Chunliang, attempting to strangle his throat.

There’s no way Xu Chunliang would let him succeed. He lifted his foot and fiercely kicked Wu Fajun’s chest.

Wu Fajun was kicked backward, collapsing onto the coffee table behind him.

Struggling to get up, Wu Fajun found Xu Chunliang faster; with a move like lightning, a chilling light flashed towards Wu Fajun’s right hand—a large needle pierced through the Yangchi acupoint between Wu Fajun’s right hand and wrist, deeply embedding into the solid wood surface of the coffee table.

Wu Fajun let out a muffled groan, swung his left fist towards Xu Chunliang’s face, but Xu Chunliang grabbed his wrist and pressed hard—another large needle penetrated through Wu Fajun’s forearm, piercing through his forearm’s Zigou acupoint, embedding more than half an inch deep.

Wu Fajun’s arms went limp and weak. The pain from the pierced spots was excruciating, and he gritted his teeth, "Xu Chunliang, you... you... lawless..."

Xu Chunliang gently twisted the needle inserted into the Yangchi acupoint, calmly saying, "The Yangchi acupoint is where the qi and blood of the Sanjiao meridian absorb heat and transform into Yang heat. Although the Three Yin Ice Soul Gu worms were refined in an extremely cold environment, they love Yang heat. I help you stimulate the Yang heat in your body, and I pierced the Zigou acupoint in your arm because the qi and blood of the Sanjiao meridian absorb heat and disperse at this acupoint. With my help, the Yang heat in your body will rapidly spread throughout your body."

There was no blood left in Wu Fajun’s face, and he trembled, "You... you and I have no grudge... why harm me like this?"

Xu Chunliang said, "No grudge? Yet you schemed to force me out of Changxing? I can kill you, or I can let you live; I have a thousand ways to make you wish for death. Now, don’t you feel the pain anymore, just a tingling sensation where the needles pierced? That’s due to the rapid gathering of the Gu worms."

The sensation Wu Fajun felt was exactly as Xu Chunliang described, and he became increasingly terrified. This person’s methods were far beyond his imagination; he had ultimately underestimated him.

Xu Chunliang said, "The Three Yin Ice Soul Gu is considered a low-tier method in terms of Gu use, but after my regulation, no one else can help you eliminate the Gu poison. These Three Yin Ice Soul Gu worms will breed and grow inside you, ceaselessly absorbing your Yang heat day and night. Without my help, you’ll die from the torture within a year. Death is not scary; the inhuman torture before death is what’s terrifying."

In Wu Fajun’s eyes, Xu Chunliang was simply a demon, speaking the most vicious words in the calmest tone, yet he knew Xu Chunliang was not merely bluffing—whatever he said, he would do.

Wu Fajun still showed some toughness, "I might as well die. From now on, you’ll be at odds with our entire Tired Sect. No matter your abilities, you can’t escape our sect’s revenge. As for your family and friends, not one of them will be spared."

Xu Chunliang smiled, "Good!" He yanked out the needle from Wu Fajun’s Zigou acupoint. Before Wu Fajun could lift his arm, Xu Chunliang rapidly inserted it into Wu Fajun’s left Yangchi acupoint, this time introducing it diagonally. Wu Fajun screamed in pain, his body convulsing, an unprecedented chill engulfing him entirely.

Wu Fajun knew this was a sign that the Gu worms had begun absorbing the Yang heat in his body.

Xu Chunliang unhurriedly said, "I especially hate it when others try to threaten me with my family and friends. What of the Tired Sect? If it’s just me, our grievances have a leader and a perpetrator. I will deal with you all in the same way. But if you target my family, I don’t care if your sect has a thousand or ten thousand followers, however many there are, I will kill them all. For however many families you have, I will eradicate each, leaving no men, women, children, chickens, ducks, pigs, or dogs alive."

Wu Fajun’s blood was nearly freezing, not just because the Gu worms were sucking his Yang heat, but more because Xu Chunliang had completely frightened him mentally.

Xu Chunliang said, "I give you an opportunity. Tell me honestly, on whose orders did you come, and how did you infiltrate Changxing?"

Wu Fajun attempted to bargain, "You help me remove the Gu poison first, then we’ll talk..."

Xu Chunliang looked at him disdainfully, "You are not an idiot. Do you think you’re in any position to make conditions with me?"

Wu Fajun pursed his lips; his life was entirely in Xu Chunliang’s hands. If he persisted, he would surely die. From the methods Xu Chunliang employed, it was clear he had the ability to evade legal consequences, which terrified him even more as Xu Chunliang had already demonstrated mesmerizing and hypnotizing skills, causing him, despite his determined will, to drink the poisonous water prepared.

Wu Fajun felt despondent. Whether he liked it or not, Xu Chunliang had a way to make him talk. The only difference was whether he would do so willingly or be forced.

Xu Chunliang softly said, "Lenience for confession, severity for resistance. I am giving you a chance to convince me why I shouldn’t kill you."

After an intense mental struggle, Wu Fajun finally said, "Do you remember Wu Yuanyi?"

Xu Chunliang surely remembered. Wu Yuanyi was the boss of the Shennong Chinese Medicine Planting Base. This guy used the name of planting Chinese medicine to conduct illegal activities. He blamed Hua Zhuyue for his son Chen Shixian’s suicide and had tried to harm Hua Zhuyue several times, but unexpectedly he also bore a grudge against him.

Xu Chunliang asked, "What is your relationship with Wu Yuanyi?"

Wu Fajun replied, "I’m his foster son."

Xu Chunliang pulled a large needle from Wu Fajun’s right hand, the blood-stained tip against his throat, saying, "It seems your foster father has been quite generous to you."

Wu Fajun gritted his teeth and said, "He’s not a good person, either. He poisoned me, forced me to work for him."

Xu Chunliang noticed he used the word "either," implying he lumped Xu in with the bad guys. When dealing with someone like Wu Fajun, one couldn’t afford to be too merciful; after all, it takes a villain to grind a villain.

Xu Chunliang said, "If the target was only me, why go to such great lengths? Don’t tell me infiltrating Huayuan was just to drive me away."

Wu Fajun admitted that driving away Xu Chunliang was only part of the reason; the broader goal of Mümen was to control Huanyan Health and, in turn, the entire Changxing Hospital. As times change and with improved public awareness against deception, Mümen also adapts, using different methods to infiltrate traditional hospitals.

Due to the system, achieving this goal with regular public hospitals is quite difficult, which is why they target places like Changxing, a public-private partnership hospital, as their primary target.

Xu Chunliang said, "So you’re trying to achieve this through controlling Pei Lin."

Wu Fajun nodded; the Gu poison was worsening with the constant loss of Yang heat from the San Jiao meridian, making him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave, his lips trembling to the point of barely speaking.

Once the psychological defense is torn apart, he’ll answer any question asked. He explained the process of controlling Pei Lin; though Xu Chunliang guessed Wu Fajun had something on Pei Lin, he hadn’t realized it was a murder charge.

Wu Fajun actually had footage of Pei Lin committing murder, an extraordinary feat. Wu Fajun also admitted his relationship with Pei Lin was mutually beneficial — he helped her stab Tang Tianyi and Han Wensheng.

Xu Chunliang asked Wu Fajun another question: "Where is Wu Yuanyi now?"

Wu Fajun replied, "He’s not in the country. The last time I contacted him... he was in Dangzai Gambling City, always... he contacts me..."

Xu Chunliang believed Wu Fajun had no reason to lie about this matter, and he tapped Wu Fajun twice on his body, making Wu Fajun instantly feel his blood flow restored and his body’s temperature start to rise.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Are you resigning?"

Wu Fajun replied, "Pei Lin is dead, and Huayuan sent a man named Feng Zhongya to be in charge of health business. Since Pei Lin died, the gap between the Tang brothers and Zhao Feiyang has deepened; staying here is meaningless now."

Xu Chunliang was a bit puzzled — Zhao Feiyang has changed a lot recently, even daring to challenge the Tang brothers. Even though he is the director of Changxing Hospital, he is appointed by the Huayuan Group, which controls 80% of Changxing’s shares—basically just a high-level worker. What gives him the audacity to challenge Huayuan?

According to Wu Fajun, Zhao Feiyang was extremely resentful towards the Tang brothers. The Tang Brothers had long known about Yang Mufeng and Pei Lin’s past relationship, and they maneuvered Yang Mufeng into Huanyan Health, using him to restrain Pei Lin to make her obediently work for them. Dissatisfied with repeated threats, she sought help to hire someone to stab Tang Tianyi and Han Wensheng as a lesson to the Tang family.

After Pei Lin’s death, Zhao Feiyang believed her tragedy was entirely orchestrated by the Tang family, hence the change in temperament.

Wu Fajun murmured, "Zhao Feiyang is different now; Pei Lin’s heart saved Qiao Rulong, who owes him a favor and adopted his son as a godson. I’ve heard Xiangjiang Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd. intends to take over Changxing."

Xu Chunliang had never heard of this company, silently noted it, and removed the large needle from Wu Fajun’s left hand, standing up, he said, "I have some business to attend to, so I won’t clean up here."

Wu Fajun said, "What about the Gu poison..."

Xu Chunliang said, "You’ll experience it for a few days first, at least it won’t kill you right away."

Wu Fajun wore a distressed expression; this guy is inhumane, talking about "experience," as if this were like tasting free samples at a bakery.

Before leaving, Xu Chunliang remembered one more thing: "Oh, don’t rush to resign; wait till I get to the bottom of things."

Wu Fajun wondered why Xu Chunliang cared about his resignation? On second thought, does Xu believe he still has some value? As of now, if Xu Chunliang wanted to use him, it was actually a good thing; if he held no value, Xu wouldn’t care whether he lived or died.
