Peerless Medical Emperor

What could it be? Everyone looked puzzled.

"Yes."

A Wu Family servant brought over a box and handed it to the family matriarch.

Wang Yingcai then passed the box to Wu Qiang.

"What is this?"

Wu Qiang was completely bewildered.

"Open it and see for yourself," Wang Yingcai said.

Wu Qiang was trembling with apprehension. He had prepared for so long, yet he never imagined it would still end in failure. The terror in his heart was palpable.

Slowly, Wu Qiang opened the box.

But the contents of the box terrified him so much that—THUD—he dropped it on the floor.

"What's wrong? So scared?" Wang Yingcai said coldly.

"Mom, please, let me explain!"

"I really didn't put these things in your food," Wu Qiang explained hurriedly.

"I never said you did," Wang Yingcai replied.

From the side, Chen Qingdi could see clearly. The box was filled with medicinal herbs that contained a slow-acting, colorless, and odorless poison.

They looked a lot like wild vegetables.

But the moment Wu Qiang saw them, the color drained from his face. From this, it was clear he was genuinely terrified, which was also a tacit admission that he was the one who had tampered with Wang Yingcai's food before.

How could Wang Yingcai and Wu Jinfeng dare let such a person become the heir to the Wu Family?

Today had been nothing but a setup designed to ensnare Wu Qiang, but he had failed the test.

By now, Wu Qiang was dying of regret, but there was no medicine for remorse in this world.

A look of terror was etched on Wu Qiang's face.

"Don't worry, my dear son. I won't kill you."

"Lock him up."

"From now on, he is to be confined. He is forbidden from participating in any of the Wu Family's affairs," Wu Jinfeng said coldly.

"Yes, sir."

A few Wu Family Martial Artists quickly came forward and led Wu Qiang away.

Wu Qiang had truly dug his own grave.

Seeing Wu Qiang's fate, Chen Qingdi could only shake his head helplessly.

"Mr. Chen, I must apologize for this embarrassing display today," Wu Jinfeng said.

"I have no interest in internal family disputes. This sort of thing is commonplace."

"However, I must give you a word of warning."

"Deal with hidden dangers early."

"Otherwise, the future of the Wu Family will not be bright," Chen Qingdi cautioned.

"Your point is well-taken, Mr. Chen." Wang Yingcai nodded.

"Since there's nothing else here, I will take my leave."

"Jinfeng, if you have something to discuss with Mr. Chen, please go ahead and talk," Wang Yingcai said.

"Alright."

Wu Jinfeng nodded.

Soon after, Wang Yingcai departed.

Chen Qingdi was once again invited into the main conference hall.

This time, Wu Jinfeng even had Chen Qingdi sit by his side, a clear sign of the high regard in which he held him.

Sitting near Chen Qingdi were Ni Wei and his men.

Naturally, Ni Wei was not at all convinced of Chen Qingdi's worth.

Even though Chen Qingdi had defeated He Gu, that wasn't enough to prove his strength was truly exceptional.

"Elder Wu, are we really going to the Luo Family's residence?" Ni Wei asked, looking at Wu Jinfeng.

'The matter of going to the Luo Family was probably just a pretext to expose Wu Qiang,' Ni Wei thought to himself.

"Of course we're going," Chen Qingdi said.

"Since when can you make decisions for Elder Wu?" Ni Wei retorted unhappily.

"He can," Wu Jinfeng stated from the side.

Hearing Wu Jinfeng's words, Ni Wei looked at him in confusion.

"Elder Wu, what do you mean by that?"

"Are we really going to the Luo Family estate?"

"Just to catch some so-called great thief?"

"But what if the Luo Family denies it, and what if that thief isn't even there?"

"Besides, I've heard recently that a peerless expert has arrived at the Luo Family's home—a powerhouse at the Grandmaster Realm," Ni Wei said, his voice laced with worry.

Seeing Ni Wei's concern, Wu Jinfeng simply said, "We must go to the Luo Family's estate."

"This is the proof."

"That master thief associated with the Luo Family, known as the Holy Thief—his real name is unknown, but his skills are formidable. Every time he steals something, he leaves behind a plum blossom mark. And there is a plum blossom mark in the Wu Family's library."

"To steal books so brazenly... if we do nothing in response, it would be unacceptable, wouldn't it?" Wu Jinfeng said.

After saying this, Wu Jinfeng looked toward Ni Wei.

Ni Wei finally nodded as well.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now."

Ni Wei grew puzzled when he saw that Wu Jinfeng remained seated, showing no sign of intending to leave. He couldn't understand what Wu Jinfeng was planning.

"Wait a little longer. There's no hurry yet," Wu Jinfeng said.

"No hurry? What are we waiting for?" Ni Wei asked, looking utterly confused.

"We're waiting for the Luo Family's mole to step forward voluntarily!" Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"The Luo Family's mole?"

"What does that mean?!"

He Gu was completely baffled.

'Is he saying there's a mole from the Luo Family among the people present?'

'Impossible.'

'Most of the people here are core members of the Wu Family.'

'How could there possibly be a mole?'

In any case, Ni Wei found it hard to believe.

"Impossible, impossible!" He Gu shook his head repeatedly.

"Why is it impossible?"

"I believe anything is possible."

At that moment, Wu Jinfeng stood up.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone present.

"If you are the mole sent by the Luo Family, I suggest you step forward voluntarily."

"Don't wait for me to call you out by name."

Wu Jinfeng looked coldly at the people in the hall.

But even after he scanned the room again and again, not a single person stepped forward.

"Fine, fine, fine. So no one is stepping forward, is that it?"

"Very well, then I'll start calling out names."

Seeing that no one had come forward, Wu Jinfeng seemed quite angry.

This was something he hadn't anticipated.

"You should understand, once I call your name, there will be no way out for you."

"If you step forward now, I can still let you off the hook," Wu Jinfeng said to the people present.

But still, no one stepped forward.

This greatly displeased Wu Jinfeng.

"Alright, you've forced my hand."

"It seems I'll have to call you out one by one."

"Sun Bo!"

"Li Tong Mountain!"

"Fuqing River!"

"All of you, step out," Wu Jinfeng commanded.

As Wu Jinfeng spoke, the three of them slowly stood up.

However, they all put on innocent expressions.

"Elder Wu, why did you call us out?"

"Surely you don't think we're the moles sent by the Luo Family?"

Fuqing River shook his head repeatedly, refusing to accept Wu Jinfeng's accusation.

"Yes. And are you not?" Wu Jinfeng stared at them.

"We are not."

Fuqing River immediately shook his head. How could he possibly admit to such a thing?
