Physician’s Odyssey Chapter 485

Chapter 485 - Groundless Accusation

Wang Guofeng found an excuse to send away Ling Yu before he closed the door and privately conversed with Huo Kun.

"Is this an act? Holy shit, I was actually beaten up to this state!" Huo Kun vented his indignance.

Wang Guofeng understood what Huo Kun was feeling right now, which he immediately soothed, "I've already warned you that you have to take a risk. If we didn't make it realistic, how could we deal with Su Tao? If your injuries weren't serious, how would your uncle help you?"

Even if Huo Kun was stupid, he could figure out that Wang Guofeng has deceived him. However, he wasn't in a position to expose it since he was the one that willingly jumped into the pit of fire. Taking a deep breath, he lowered his voice, "My legs really can't recover completely?"

"There will be some repercussions, but you won't be any different from an ordinary person. The only downside is that you will not be able to do any intense activity." Wang Guofeng patiently comforted and continued, "Furthermore, because of your previous unhealthy lifestyle, you have an entirely exhausted body, so it's good for you to have a simpler lifestyle."

"Will that matter be affected?" Huo Kun asked after a brief hesitation.

Huo Kun's question caused Wang Guofeng to be briefly stunned before he smiled and encouraged, "Don't worry. You can still have fun with women as usual, but you just have to find a few positions that won't be taxing to your legs."

Taking a deep breath, Huo Kun said, "Since you have already deceived me, then I can only continue to walk down this path. But since I've suffered so badly, then Su Tao must suffer!"

Patting his shoulder, Wang Guofeng consoled, "Don't worry about this; our plan is flawless!"

After another bunch of soothing words to Huo Kun, Wang Guofeng left the ward. To him, Huo Kun was just a chess piece and tool. Although the two of them were close together when they were young, they're already adults now. Hence, Wang Guofeng could only say that Huo Kun was too naïve to believe in him so easily.

He did not feel guilty about Huo Kun's situation, not to mention that Huo Kun wasn't wholly crippled. Upon recovery, Huo Kun would still be able to walk on his own, it's just that he would have to take it easy.

Upon returning to his vehicle, Wang Guofeng smiled after seeing Ling Yu resting with his eyes closed. "Right, there's something that I would like to notify you of! You don't have to worry about Su Tao anymore, just study the data on the other candidates."

"What's wrong? He withdrew?" Ling Yu locked his brows as he asked immediately with his eyes open.

With regret written on his face, Wang Guofeng replied, "You know who injured Huo Kun? It's Su Tao! That fellow is violent and he crippled Huo Kun. Someone like him isn't worthy of participating in the National Healer Selection! He has already been arrested, and he won't be able to get out anytime soon. The examination phase of the National Healer Selection will begin tomorrow, and he definitely won't be able to participate. So it will be equivalent to giving up."

Letting out a sigh with complex emotions spiraling in his heart, Ling Yu instantly felt depressed. "I was just looking forward to sparring with him, but I never expected that he had actually withdrawn!"

Wang Guofeng was feeling inwardly smug despite the expression he's showing on his face now and sighed, "There will be opportunities in the future, but you have to deal with the other competitors first. The western medicine's candidates are extremely formidable this year, regardless of their background or reputation, so you can't lower your guard."

Revealing his two little canine teeth, Ling Yu innocently smiled. "Senior Brother, I definitely won't disappoint you!"

When Wang Guofeng saw how harmless Ling Yu looked, he sighed in his heart that his Junior Brother really was innocent. If he hadn't been paving paths for his Junior Brother, god-knows how much effort his Junior Brother would have to waste.

There were competitions everywhere in society, especially in the National Healer Selection. To doctors, this was one step into the heavens. Thus, competition was extremely intense. Not only was the battle on the surface, but there were also schemes and plots being used behind the scenes.

Thus, the few candidates of the western medicine doctors were fighting amongst themselves in the dark with all sorts of news erupting about them, continually enveloping them in controversy. The National Healer Selection this year was even more exciting than in the past.

Then again, none of their commotions were comparable to the one that Su Tao has caused.

After being on the headlines for the Korean scandal, he rose to the stage with what he did at the Ni Family's banquet.

Be it ordinary folks or those of the upper circle, they all came to know Su Tao's name.

Wang Guofeng had a deep understanding of Su Tao. That fellow was someone that attracted trouble wherever he went. He was a born protagonist.

However, even if Su Tao was a grasshopper, he wouldn't be able to leap this time!

Not only would he not be able to participate in the National Healer Selection, but he would also have a criminal record. Making use of Huo Kun, he had played a grand scheme.

After sending Ling Yu to his lodge, Wang Guofeng drove to the Tong Zuoqing's teahouse and found an empty seat. As two cross-talking performers performed on the stage, the atmosphere was made lively.

Don't belittle this teahouse, there were all sorts of people hidden here. Who knows, the one sitting in the corner might be a tycoon.

When people of status want to have some leisure, they would come to relax in cultural places like this, and it became a trend in their life.

Roughly ten-odd minutes later, a skinny old man sat before Wang Guofeng.

Wang Guofeng was briefly stunned before he bitterly smiled. "Your disguise is truly formidable. I couldn't even recognise you." When he finished, he realised that he had spoken the wrong words since he had no idea of the actual appearance of this person before him.

The 'old man' chuckled as he helplessly said, "I can't help it. The 33 Bureau is looking for me, and I have to change at least three to four identities a day. Otherwise, I would've been caught by them."

"With your capability, there are actually tons of ways for you to gain wealth." Wang Guofeng said with admiration.

Wearing a grave expression, the 'old man' solemnly said, "Money doesn't matter. I've received orders from my master to take vengeance for my Martial Uncle. But the 33 Bureau is such an annoyance and has ruined my chance of killing him multiple times. Right now, I can only plot against him a little. After the commotion dies down and he no longer has so many guards around him, I'll find another chance to take a hit at him."

The 'old man' was the Martial Nephew of the Witchcraft Sect's Elder, Ma Huiteng.

However, Wang Guofeng continued to tempt, "I admire your ability, and if you're willing to work for me, I'm willing to offer you a high salary."

The 'old man' replied in annoyance, "Cut the nonsense. How's Su Tao doing now?"

Wang Guofeng knew that everyone from the Witchcraft Sect had a weird temper. Seeing that the man before him cannot be tempted, he no longer persevered and answered, "He has already been captured. You've acted pretty real, but weren't you a little too ruthless? You actually injured Huo Kun so heavily!"

"If it's not real, how will we convince the police? Don't worry about it; my acting is extremely professional! As for that person who was beaten up, you can only say that he's unfortunate!" The 'old man' smiled in disdain.

Taking out a plane ticket from his wallet, Wang Guofeng pushed it over and lowered his voice, "You've done as you promised, and you can leave Beijing now. This is a plane ticket that I bought for you with the identity that you gave me, you can leave tomorrow."

The 'old man' took the ticket without any hesitation then took a sip of tea and cautiously looked around. "I can't stay here any longer. It was a good cooperation, I'll take my leave first!"

The 'old man' visited the washroom, and Wang Guofeng never saw him again.

Wang Guofeng knew that the 'old man' had changed into another disguise as a passerby and left without him noticing.

He inwardly sighed at the talented people in the world. Such a formidable disguise was more shocking than anything else.

His scheme this time to frame Su Tao wasn't anything complicated, it only required the expert from the Witchcraft Sect to disguise himself as Su Tao and execute violence on Huo Kun, leading the latter's legs to be crippled.

In the end, the surveillance camera captured the entire process. When the police received a report, they retrieved the footage and verified Su Tao's identity before arresting him.

Su Tao had been secluding himself during this period and reduced his interaction with the outside world. That meant that he couldn't provide any convincing proof that he wasn't the culprit, which also meant that it wouldn't be easy for him to escape the responsibility of the law.

Although this scheme seemed like a simple frame, there was actually a great difficulty.

Firstly, Huo Kun had to cooperate and be willing to suffer a beating.

Secondly, a marvelous disguise was needed to fool everyone.

Wang Guofeng's intention was simple. He didn't need Su Tao to go to prison, he just needed Su Tao to miss the National Healer Selection and lose the opportunity to increase his own status. Wang Guofeng felt delighted in exacting this sort of revenge.

The grudge between Wang Guofeng and Su Tao has already deformed, and ordinary people couldn't comprehend it.

Ye Ling followed an officer and they came to the detention center. Judging from the ranking displayed on that officer's shoulders, this officer had a high status in this place since all the other officers were respectful to him.

"We've already captured the suspect, and you can visit him. However, I have to remind you that his status isn't simple, so don't make things difficult for us." The officer warned.

"I know my limits, so don't worry about it. I won't increase your trouble; I just want to talk with him." Ye Ling smiled.

Nodding his head, the officer gave a signal to his subordinate, who unlocked the cell. After Ye Ling entered, the officer did not follow but stood in the hallway and smoked a cigarette.

The officer was now bearing a massive pressure since he never expected that there would be a special suspect in his detention center. Both the friends and enemies of this suspect weren't people he could afford to offend.

The celestials fight while the mortals suffer. Thus, he could only take care of the suspect and pray that he would not be implicated.

"I never expected that my first visitor would be the princess of the Ye Family!" Su Tao waved the cuffs in his hands and sighed as he shook his head with a bitter smile.

"You seem pretty relaxed and calm!" Ye Ling glanced at Su Tao with a smile as if she had forgotten how Su Tao slapped her.

"What am I nervous about? Groundless accusations are bound to clear up sooner or later." Su Tao calmly replied.

"Heh, you're pretty stubborn!" Ye Ling applied pressure without any emotion and continued, "The process of you beating up my cousin has already been recorded. For you to be able to cry out in grievance, I admire your mentality quite a bit."

Shaking his head, Su Tao smiled, "If you really want to frame a good man, then you can fabricate the evidence needed. But I believe that the innocent will be proven, and time will prove everything."
