Chapter 131: It Must Be Angkor Who Plotted Against Me!

After Lin Beifan left, Xiao Chen stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Why did it turn out like this?"

His entire body was numb!

After struggling for an entire day, not only did his injuries not improve, but they had worsened!

On top of that, he now owed Lin Beifan millions!

Worst of all, he had completely lost face!

He couldn't comprehend how the medical exchange conference, which was supposed to mark his rise, had instead become the darkest moment of his life!

Right before his sworn enemy...

Right before his beloved, Song Yuqing...

Right before all the esteemed doctors of Magic Sea City...

He had been forced to kneel before Wang Siquan, the heir of Medicine King Valley!

Not once. Not twice. But over and over again!

He had lost all dignity! Even his identity as a descendant of the Guigu School had been disgraced!

Now, he had become the laughingstock of the entire medical community, his name forever nailed to the pillar of shame!

In both of his lifetimes, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

At this moment, he wanted to die!

If not for the hatred burning within him, he would have already found a place to bury himself.

"I must have been set up!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, his voice dripping with resentment.

He recalled that his legs had been fine before stepping onto the stage, yet they suddenly lost all strength.

Someone must have sabotaged him, deliberately humiliating him in public!

"But who?"

"Who the hell plotted against me?"

"Who!?"

"As long as I find out, I will make you pay with your life!"

Xiao Chen carefully reviewed the events in his mind.

At that time, only four people had the opportunity to come into contact with him.

Lin Beifan, his sworn enemy.

Lin Beifan's two lackeys, Ye Xingchen and Angkor.

And Wang Siquan, the descendant of Medicine King Valley, who had treated his injuries.

Lin Beifan was unlikely.

Although they were enemies, Lin Beifan wasn't reborn like him. He knew nothing of Xiao Chen's past life, so he had no reason to act against him.

Besides, Lin Beifan had been extremely "kind" to him lately—offering help, visiting frequently, and even treating him like a brother. There was no reason for him to sabotage Xiao Chen.

So, Lin Beifan was ruled out.

Ye Xingchen was also unlikely.

He was even more injured than Xiao Chen, his entire body covered in wounds. There was no way he could have done anything.

Wang Siquan was also unlikely.

Before the exchange conference, Wang Siquan hadn't even known that Xiao Chen was a descendant of Guigu. He had no motive to act.

Moreover, as fellow doctors, they should have had a certain understanding of each other's methods.

That left only one possibility—

"Angkor!"

Xiao Chen clenched his fists, his expression twisted in rage.

On the way to the conference, he had already sensed that Angkor was unfriendly toward him.

This man kept doing things that seemed to make his injuries worse.

And more importantly, Angkor was a tomb robber—a man who raided graves and unearthed corpses for a living.

Among all of them, he was the most likely suspect!

He was the only one with both the opportunity and the capability to act!

If Lin Beifan was his number one enemy, then Angkor had just risen to number two!

One had taken everything from him!

The other had ruined his moment of glory, shaming him before the entire world!

Neither of them would be spared!

"Angkor! You bastard! How dare you set me up!?"

"Once I recover, I will settle the score with you!"

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth in fury.

---

At that moment, Lin Beifan had arrived at Ye Xingchen's ward.

With a look of concern, he approached the bed and asked, "Brother Ye, how are you feeling?"

Ye Xingchen looked much more energetic. His eyes were bright as he replied, "Ever since Dr. Wang treated me, my condition has improved significantly! After returning to the hospital, the doctors examined me and said that as long as I keep taking my medication, I'll be able to walk normally in half a month! And in a month, I'll be fully recovered! Dr. Wang is truly a genius! Hahaha!"

Lin Beifan beamed. "That's wonderful! This means you'll be able to return and help me soon! To be honest, our company can't do without you. I can't do without you!"

Ye Xingchen was touched. "President Lin, I really want to come back! I can't wait to—" strangle you with my own hands!

Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively. "No need to say more! For now, just focus on your recovery. Once you're fully healed, you can return!"

"Hmm." Ye Xingchen nodded happily.

At that moment, Angkor walked in carrying a few potted plants.

Lin Beifan was surprised. "Brother Wu, what's this for?"

Angkor calmly set down the plants and said, "Mr. Lin, I thought the ward was a bit dull, so I brought some potted plants for Mr. Ye! Seeing some greenery will help him feel better and aid in his recovery!"

"Brother Wu, you're very thoughtful!" Lin Beifan patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

Even Ye Xingchen found himself looking at Angkor in a better light.

This grave robber is more considerate than that bastard Lin Beifan, who only sent useless white flowers!

Angkor then carefully arranged the plants.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Ye, with these potted plants here, I believe Mr. Ye will recover even faster!"

Lin Beifan and Ye Xingchen both smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your trouble!"

"It's nothing! Just a small gesture!" Angkor replied with a friendly smile.

However, in his mind, he was laughing coldly.

With this formation in place, Ye Xingchen, you can forget about leaving this hospital anytime soon.

Ever since that day, he had been thinking about how to prevent Ye Xingchen from returning to Lin Beifan's company.

In the end, he decided to use an array technique.

He had secretly set up the Four Symbols Death Formation—a formation specifically designed to weaken vitality.

As long as Ye Xingchen remained within the formation, his body would gradually deteriorate, his strength would wane, and his mind would become sluggish.

In this way, Ye Xingchen's recovery would be delayed indefinitely!

And Angkor would continue to stay at Lin Beifan's company, waiting for the perfect opportunity for revenge!

At that moment, Lin Beifan suddenly suggested with a smile, "These potted plants look great! Why don't we arrange some for Brother Xiao as well? What do you think, Brother Wu?"

Angkor's eyes lit up. "Good idea! I'll take care of it right away!"

"Brother Wu, I appreciate your hard work!"

"It's no trouble at all! I'll go now!" Angkor could barely contain his excitement.

"Alright then! Brother Ye, since you need rest, Brother Wu and I will take our leave. Recover well! I'll visit again tomorrow!" Lin Beifan waved with a smile.

"Okay, see you!" Ye Xingchen waved back.

And so, Lin Beifan and Angkor—each harboring their own ulterior motives—left with smiles on their faces.
