Chapter 119: Framed and Betrayed!
“Oh?”
Qing Furong raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Wushang.
When Zhang Black Hair mentioned that the replacement was this young man, she had been full of disdain.
After all, the common perception was that any master of traditional Chinese medicine was usually in their seventies or eighties, born into a prestigious family with a noble aura.
But this young man was just slightly handsome, dressed plainly, looked ordinary, and behaved arrogantly.
Yet, hearing Qiao Sen’s description now made her take notice.
Because—
At the time, when she learned that the An family’s victory was due to a young man, she wondered just who he really was.
Meeting him today, however, sparked her interest.
“Steward Qiao, what’s the name of this young man?”
“He is called—”
“Ye Wushang!”
Before Qiao Sen could finish introducing him, the Ghost Doctor suddenly spoke up and hurried forward, staring at Ye Wushang. “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to come here!”
Ye Wushang frowned, suspicious. “You know me?”
“Of course I know you.”
“My junior apprentice brother was killed by you. Even if you turned to ashes, I’d still recognize you!”
The Ghost Doctor’s mouth twitched into a grim expression, like a man seeking vengeance for a slain father.
This left Ye Wushang completely puzzled—he had the impression they had never met before.
Everyone else also looked baffled, not understanding what he was talking about.
“Ghost Doctor, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”
Peng Haidong frowned.
The Ghost Doctor snorted coldly. “Sect Master Peng, do you remember when I mentioned my junior apprentice brother Xu Lang to you?”
“When he was treating the elderly master of the An family, someone framed him for harming others, and he was taken to the police station.”
“Then, inexplicably, he died in jail. This person here—Ye Wushang—is the culprit!”
Hiss.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushang realized something.
He hadn’t expected that he was Xu Lang’s senior apprentice brother.
Xu Lang, mediocre in medical skills, had been hired by the Pei family to poison the old master of the An family.
If Ye Wushang hadn’t been present at the time, the plan would likely have succeeded.
It was true what they said—people from the same family often walk in similar paths. Xu Lang and this Ghost Doctor were indeed fellow disciples!
“Your junior brother harmed others first, with solid evidence, and the police station has the records. I never framed him.”
“As for his death in jail, I truly don’t know about it. Even if he died, it was his own fault. No one else is to blame.”
Ye Wushang’s expression remained indifferent, unmoved.
The Ghost Doctor clenched his fists, ready to erupt, but Peng Haidong stopped him, shaking his head. “Ghost Doctor, don’t be impulsive. The urgent matter is to save the patient.”
“I will avenge your junior brother for you.”
Then, he looked up at Qing Furong solemnly. “Lady Qing, the agreement has changed.”
“The Ghost Doctor can treat Master Luo and cure him.”
“But besides recovering the Black Dragon Society’s assets and returning them to our Battle Dragon Sect,”
“please give theI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
