After Lin Beifan left, Xiao Chen stared at the ceiling, dazed and numb.
"Why did this happen?"
He felt completely overwhelmed!
Despite tossing and turning all day, not only did his injury not improve, but it actually worsened!
And now he owed Lin Beifan millions!
The worst part was that he had lost all his dignity!
He couldn't even bear to think about how the day of the medical exchange conference had turned out like that.
He had anticipated it as a day of triumph, but it turned out to be the darkest moment of his life!
He was faced with a formidable enemy!
In front of his beloved Song Yuqing!
In front of all the doctors in the country!
He had to kneel before Wang Siquan, the descendant of the Medicine King Valley!
And he knelt repeatedly!
Not only did he lose face, but the Onigu Sect's reputation was also tarnished by him!
He became the target of ridicule and was forever shamed!
In two lifetimes, how could he have endured such humiliation?
Now, he wished for death!
If not for his burning hatred, he would have sought a place to hide.
"I must have been set up!" Xiao Chen seethed with anger.
He remembered that his leg had been perfectly fine, but then he suddenly lost strength.
Someone must have conspired against him, deliberately humiliating him.
"Who could it be?"
"Who is plotting against me?"
"Whoever it is!"
"If I find you, I will make you pay!"
He reviewed the situation carefully.
At that time, only four people had access to him.
They were his great enemy Lin Beifan, Lin Beifan's two lackeys Ye Xingchen and Angkor, and Wang Siquan, a descendant of the Medicine King Valley who treated and medicated him.
Lin Beifan was unlikely.
Despite being his great enemy, Lin Beifan had been kind to him recently, treating him like a brother and caring for him. There was no reason for him to conspire against him.
Thus, Lin Beifan was ruled out.
Ye Xingchen was also unlikely.
He was injured even more severely than Xiao Chen, so he couldn't have been involved.
Wang Siquan, the descendant of the Medicine King Valley, was also unlikely.
Before the conference, Wang Siquan didn't know Xiao Chen was from the Ghost Valley, so he had no motive. Besides, both were doctors, and Wang Siquan wouldn't have any means Xiao Chen wasn't aware of.
That left only one possibility!
"Angkor!"
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and uttered the name.
He had noticed that Angkor seemed unfriendly toward the injured men and often did things that worsened their conditions.
Moreover, as a grave robber who frequently explored tombs, Angkor could use some strange means.
So, Angkor was the most likely culprit!
If Lin Beifan was his number one enemy, then Angkor had become his number two enemy!
One had taken everything from him!
The other had interrupted his rise and embarrassed him before everyone!
Neither of them was good news!
"Angkor! You bastard! How dare you conspire against me!"
"Once I'm healed, I'll settle the score with you!"
Xiao Chen seethed with anger.
Meanwhile, Lin Beifan had arrived at Ye Xingchen's hospital room.
Concerned, he approached the bed and asked, " Brother Ye, how are you doing?"
Ye Xingchen looked more energetic, his eyebrows raised as he said, "Since Dr. Wang treated me and gave me medication, my condition has improved significantly! After returning to the hospital and undergoing an examination, the doctor said that as long as I continue with the medication, I'll be able to walk normally in half a month and be fully recovered in a month! Dr. Wang is truly remarkable! Ha ha!"
Lin Beifan was pleased. "That's great! You'll be back soon to help me! Honestly, our company needs you; I can't manage without you!"
Ye Xingchen was touched. "Brother Lin, I also want to return!"
"I look forward to having you back! For now, focus on your recovery and come back to help once you're healed!"
"Mm-hmm." Ye Xingchen nodded happily.
At that moment, Angkor entered with several potted plants.
Lin Beifan was surprised. " Brother Wu, what brings you here?"
Angkor quietly set down the potted plants and said, "Mr. Lin, I saw that the ward looked too plain, so I brought some potted plants for Mr. Ye! They should improve the mood and help with recovery!"
"Brother Wu, I appreciate the thought!" Lin Beifan said, patting Angkor's shoulder approvingly.
Ye Xingchen's gaze at Angkor became warm.
This grave robber really has a kind heart, much better than the simple flowers sent by Lin Beifan!
Angkor arranged the potted plants.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Ye, with these potted plants, I believe Mr. Ye's injuries will heal faster!"
Lin Beifan and Ye Xingchen smiled and nodded. "You've worked hard!"
"It's nothing, just a small thing!" Angkor smiled in return.
In his mind, Angkor thought, with these plants and the formations I've set, Ye Xingchen will remain bedridden and unable to return to work.
He had secretly arranged the Four Elephants Death Array, designed to weaken the life force.
As long as Ye Xingchen was in this formation, his condition would deteriorate, his physique would weaken, and his spirit would suffer.
This way, Ye Xingchen would struggle to recover easily and remain at Lin Beifan's company, waiting for an opportunity for revenge!
"These potted plants look nice. How about arranging some for Brother Xiao as well? What do you think, Brother Wu?" Lin Beifan asked with a smile.
Angkor's eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly. "Sure, I'll get that done!"
"You're really going above and beyond!"
"Not at all! Should I get them now?" Angkor was eager to help.
"Alright then! Brother Ye, if there's nothing else, Brother Wu and I will take our leave. You focus on your recovery, and I'll see you tomorrow!" Lin Beifan said with a smile and a wave.
"Goodbye." Ye Xingchen also waved.
Thus, Lin Beifan and the scheming Angkor left with smiles on their faces.
