Chapter 51 He only has himself to blame
Sun Youde was reluctant to part with it, as the antidote was made from extremely precious and difficult-to-prepare ingredients, so he only drank a small amount.
He was very confident that the little bit of poison Xiao Chen had prepared was insignificant and would be enough.
After finishing the drink, Sun Youde smiled and waited for his body to recover.
But soon, he frowned deeply, and then his expression suddenly turned ferocious, revealing a look of pain.
The intense pain he was experiencing indicated that the antidote he had drunk was ineffective.
Without hesitation, Sun Youde quickly drank all the antidote.
I thought I would finally be able to detoxify, but the pain in my body not only did not decrease in the slightest, but instead surged even more violently, as if catalyzing something else.
"what……"
Sun Youde fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"Dr. Sun!" Xiao Shanshan and Xiao Yiyi wanted to help him up, but they couldn't.
"What kind of poison is this... How come even my tried-and-true antidote is useless..." Sun Youde cried out in pain.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"It's not some terrible poison, just a living dead."
"The living dead?" Everyone was completely bewildered.
"I've named this poison 'Living Dead.' Those poisoned suffer daily from the pain of their internal organs and meridians being destroyed. After the pain, they are quickly repaired, and this cycle of destruction and repair repeats until the body becomes numb and enters a state of living dead. They are conscious but unable to move, and the pain continues until the very last moment of their lives," Xiao Chen explained calmly.
Everyone who heard it felt a chill run down their spine.
This is far more terrifying than Sun Youde's bone-corroding water.
It is probably hard to find such a terrible punishment anywhere else in the world.
Sun Youde, lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed and trembled involuntarily.
He is already suffering more than death, and now he has to endure the rest of his life in this pain?
How could anyone endure such a dark and hopeless life?
He had never even heard of this poison before, let alone knew how to cure it.
“I give up! I give up!” Sun Youde cried out in anguish.
The Xiao and Xia families all looked grim.
"I give up... Please give me the antidote..." Sun Youde endured the pain and reached out to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at him coldly.
"This poison, like your Bone-Corroding Water, has no antidote," he said calmly.
"What?!" Sun Youde was struck dumb.
Without an antidote, what will he do?
"If you can cure the poison of the Bone-Corroding Water, you can definitely cure this too. I beg you, please help me cure this poison!" Sun Youde was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it any longer and pleaded with Xiao Chen in a low voice.
"Begging me won't help; there's no solution," Xiao Chen replied coldly.
Sun Youde was plunged into despair, in so much pain that he almost fainted, howling incessantly, which chilled the onlookers to the bone.
"Mr. Xiao, are you really unable to cure that poison?" Chen Lin asked curiously in a low voice.
"There is no poison in this world that I cannot cure for the time being," Xiao Chen said calmly.
Chen Lin was taken aback.
"Then why..."
"Why should I untie him?" Xiao Chen's words were laced with coldness.
Chen Lin sighed and said, "He only has himself to blame."
He would never empathize with Sun Youde.
They set up this scheme to poison each other, and even brought out the most rare and deadly poison in the world, Bone-Corroding Water, showing their extremely sinister intentions.
If Xiao Chen has no other choice, he will have to suffer from the poison of the Bone-Corroding Water for the rest of his life, living a life worse than death.
So Sun Youde deserved it!
"Send me to the capital! Send me to the Medical Association! I need to ask the top doctors in Xia Kingdom for help!" Sun Youde shouted.
Xiao Chen took two steps closer and lowered his voice, saying, "No one can help you, and no one will help you. You will be expelled from the Medical Association and blacklisted."
"What makes you think you can say that?" Sun Youde roared in anguish.
"Because that's what Chenming said." Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"What? You!" Sun Youde's body stiffened, staring at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
In that instant, he felt as if he had been enlightened.
The poison of the Bone-Corroding Water is incurable!
But today, things have been disrupted...
He should have realized it sooner.
In the entire Xia Kingdom, besides the mythologized Chenming Medical Saint, who else could there be?
I never expected this medical legend to be so young!
At that moment, Sun Youde's face showed an expression of extreme regret.
If I had known, why would I have gotten involved in this mess?
"puff……"
Sun Youde coughed up another mouthful of black blood and then completely lost consciousness.
After the pain subsides, the wounds within his body will be repaired, but the pain will continue after he awakens...
"Take him away."
Xiao Hongyuan waved his hand with a cold expression.
"Patriarch Xia, this Physician Sun was invited by you, so he is now in your care."
The Xia family patriarch, his face ashen, said indifferently, "Send him back to the capital immediately."
Once they were no longer of any use to him, he would kick them away.
The competition ended with Zhang Qin's clinic emerging victorious. Chen Lin returned to his clinic to see patients, and long queues formed again at the entrance.
This time it was the other side's turn to be deserted.
"Master, Dr. Sun is already dying. Should our clinic remain open?" someone asked.
Xiao Hongyuan sneered.
"The opening ceremony will be held on time when the time comes."
"So what if we lose Sun Youde? There are plenty of skilled doctors in Xia Kingdom. As long as we spend a lot of money, people will come."
"This clinic doesn't need to be profitable. We'll throw a lot of money into it and make sure the other side collapses no matter what. I want Xiao Chen to know the power of the Xiao family!" Xiao Hongyuan spoke with an air of wealth and arrogance.
"Our Xia family fully supports this!" the Xia family patriarch declared.
Before long, the appointed time arrived, and Xiao Chen ordered eleven chairs to be placed at the entrance of the clinic.
Xiao Hongyuan sneered when he saw this scene.
"They just invited the top ten celebrities from Nancheng and the Ling family from the provincial capital. I thought it would be a big show!"
"Dad, as you instructed, none of the top ten celebrities will be able to leave today, and the Ling family member won't be able to make it either," Xiao Yiyi said in a low voice.
Xiao Hongyuan's sneer intensified.
Their only goal today is to cause trouble and make it impossible for Xiao Chen's clinic to continue operating.
"Time's up!"
With a loud shout, firecrackers were set off in front of both clinics.
After the firecrackers went off, luxury cars lined up and drove in from the street.
"Patriarch Xiao, congratulations..."
"Master Xia, congratulations on your grand opening!"
……
Those who got out of the luxury cars were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the southern part of the city, and their status and position were not low.
For a time, the clinic was bustling with activity.
In contrast, Xiao Chen and his group were all alone.
The contrast is so stark that it's hard not to notice.
The Xiao and Xia families cast sarcastic glances their way, silently mocking them.
"I think some of these clinics are going to fail right after they open!" Xiao Shanshan shouted again, never missing an opportunity to kick someone when they're down.
Zhang Qin's family looked complicated and remained silent.
Xiao Chen looked at the end of the street with a blank expression.
"Judging by the time, it should be time."
