CHAPTER 858: CHAPTER 804 BROKEN LEG

Looking at the worried and angry expressions of everyone around, Liu Hun finally fixed his gaze on Doug, and said solemnly, "In Huaxia’s traditional Chinese medicine, you can never know how much knowledge there is inside. Although these two medicinal materials are both highly poisonous, from another layer of meaning, they can actually cancel each other out and thereby produce miraculous effects."

"So according to what you said, if someone gives you poison next time and claims it’s a good medicine, you’ll believe it?" Doug looked at Liu Hun with disdain.

Facing Doug’s accusations, Liu Hun did not explain much and said solemnly, "I can prepare the same medicinal materials again and drink it myself to show you!"

"Fine, then prepare the exact same medicinal materials and drink it in front of us!" Doug sneered coldly, seeing Liu Hun still stubborn at this point.

Soon, a set of medicinal materials was prepared again, and without hesitation, Liu Hun drank the entire bowl of medicine in his hand.

After Liu Hun finished drinking, everyone saw that Liu Hun showed no abnormal expressions, revealing a few puzzled expressions.

If these two medicinal materials were really highly poisonous, logically, there is no way Liu Hun would show no change at all.

"If it were really these two medicinal materials that caused it, then Rose wouldn’t have died just now. As doctors, haven’t you considered this reason?" Liu Hun continued to speak after seeing everyone’s puzzled look.

"But Rose clearly didn’t eat anything else besides your medicinal materials yesterday. If it’s not your medicinal materials, what else could it be?" Doug insisted.

"If it’s really as you said, then there must be something wrong with this set of medicinal materials." Liu Hun said.

"You’ve finally admitted there’s something wrong with this set of medicinal materials!" Doug was instantly furious upon hearing Liu Hun’s words.

"Don’t jump to conclusions too early. I only said there’s something wrong with this set of medicinal materials, but I didn’t say it’s the medicine I prepared that’s wrong. Dean, if you don’t mind, could you hand me the medicine residues to take a look?" Liu Hun said calmly.

"Sure." The dean handed the medicinal materials to Liu Hun with a few hints of doubt.

Although the dean hasn’t known Liu Hun for long, he could tell from the previous things Liu Hun did at the hospital that Liu Hun would definitely not attack Rose because of a few arguments.

Moreover, Liu Hun is not a fool, clearly knowing that doing such a thing would cause him endless trouble, there is naturally no necessity for it.

After carefully examining the medicine residues, Liu Hun finally pulled out a dried leaf.

The leaf was only about the size of a thumbnail, mixed in with the medicine residues, and if not looked at carefully, there’s basically nothing to see.

"Is this a red tree leaf? But it doesn’t make sense; this kind of red tree leaf at most can treat some minor ailments like cough and certainly wouldn’t kill someone." The dean looked at the leaf in Liu Hun’s hand, puzzled.

"From the color, this red tree leaf seems to be a new leaf. I bought all these medicinal materials from formal medicine stores, and everyone here should understand this." Liu Hun said, pausing for a moment, then swept his gaze over everyone present.

When his gaze landed on Tong Cheng, a flash of panic crossed Tong Cheng’s eyes.

Regarding this, Liu Hun was now almost certain that this guy was up to no good.

"Apart from having no reason to kill Rose, this red tree leaf is the best evidence; although it seems harmless on the surface, combined with these two poisonous medicinal materials, it becomes a poison." Liu Hun explained.

Seeing everyone seemed not to believe him, Liu Hun added this red tree leaf into the medicinal materials and prepared it again, then found a mouse and forced it to drink.

In less than ten minutes, the mouse started foaming at the mouth and died.

"Even so, does anyone other than you in this scene know about these medicinal materials?" Doug didn’t want his girlfriend to die so ambiguously and continued to hold Liu Hun accountable.

Although everyone now believed Liu Hun’s words, if Liu Hun couldn’t find the murderer next, Doug would still blame Liu Hun.

Moreover, in such a situation, the police were completely unable to handle it, and in the end, Liu Hun would still take the blame.

"Dean Liu, could you tell me about Mr. Tong Cheng who accompanied you here this time?" Liu Hun didn’t answer Doug, instead he turned his gaze to Liu Qingqing and asked.

"Liu Hun, do you suspect I did it? I have no grudge against Dr. Rose, and I am only here to help Qingqing this time. Why would I harm Dr. Rose?" Tong Cheng immediately stood out from the crowd after hearing Liu Hun’s words, glaring at Liu Hun and questioning.

"I never said you did it, why are you so guilty? After all, here, you’re the only one who has a conflict with me." Liu Hun looked at Tong Cheng’s angry face and sneered.

"You..." Tong Cheng opened his mouth, but at the corner of his eyes, he suddenly felt the strange gaze from everyone around him, took a deep breath, and subdued the anger in his heart.

He knew that if he continued to speak at this moment, it would undoubtedly confirm Liu Hun’s words, and the best way now is to wait for Liu Hun to come up with evidence.

If Liu Hun couldn’t present evidence, then this matter would still be Liu Hun’s responsibility.

"You mentioned Tong Cheng... I’m not really sure. We went to school together when we were young due to some things, and later he went abroad to study..." Liu Qingqing looked a bit confused.

Seeing Liu Qingqing knew nothing, Tong Cheng sneered, "Liu Hun, what else can you say now!"

"Do you know what I plan to do next?" Liu Hun casually picked out one of the herbs nearby and slowly walked towards Tong Cheng.

"You... what do you want to do?" Looking at the herb Liu Hun held in his hand, Tong Cheng’s expression changed slightly, and he kept retreating.

But Liu Hun didn’t give him any chance, grabbed him and forcibly stuffed the herb into his mouth.

"Liu Hun, you... you actually fed me Heart Burning Grass! Once this thing is eaten, it will kill people!" Tong Cheng, who was no longer as arrogant as before, looked pale and stared at Liu Hun.

"Being able to recognize Heart Burning Grass at a glance, you are indeed not simple. Your fingers are yellowish, and since you don’t smoke, it can only be caused by constantly fiddling with herbal medicine. Even the director can’t identify Heart Burning Grass, yet you could recognize it at a glance..." Liu Hun coldly said, grasping Tong Cheng’s large hand.

Liu Hun’s words made sense from every angle.

Earlier, Tong Cheng admitted he had a grudge against Liu Hun, so if Liu Hun wasn’t behind this, it certainly was Tong Cheng.

"Even if I do know some Chinese medicine knowledge, that doesn’t mean I killed anyone! Moreover, you naturally hold a grudge against me and surely want to use this matter to frame me." Tong Cheng felt the gaze of everyone and angrily defended.

"I didn’t say you killed anyone, why are you so anxious? Oh, I forgot to tell you, that’s not Heart Burning Grass, but another rare herb that can substitute for Heart Burning Grass without any harm if consumed alone." Liu Hun paused at this point.

Then he looked at everyone and continued to explain: "Regarding the incident between Tong Cheng and me, when I first learned of the earthquake in the Provincial City, I immediately wanted to rush home to check on my parents and townsfolk. At the highway entrance, his car blocked my way, so in my haste, I damaged his car. However, this can’t be your explanation, and I am curious about how you managed to sneak Red Tree Leaves into the herbs!"

Upon finishing his speech, Liu Hun’s gaze sharpened. Originally, Tong Cheng wanted to argue, but at that moment, his eyes suddenly became vacant, head bowed murmuring: "Yesterday, by chance, I saw this scene, and then devised a plan to frame you. I threatened a young nurse to add Red Tree Leaves..."

As Tong Cheng finished speaking, the whole place was stunned.

No one expected Tong Cheng to confess at that moment. Though everyone was somewhat suspicious, Tong Cheng’s own admission, backed by the young nurse stepping forward to reveal the truth, stopped anyone from wondering why Tong Cheng suddenly confessed.

"Tong Cheng, I never thought you were this kind of person!" Liu Qingqing, full of anger, shouted at Tong Cheng.

Liu Qingqing didn’t have to come this time, but she decided to anyway.

Her reason was a final effort; if Liu Hun remained as he was, she would give up. Besides, Tong Cheng was also a good option.

She never expected Tong Cheng to be this kind of person.

"Looks like the Golden Gu isn’t completely useless!" Liu Hun thought quietly.

He had just administered the Golden Gu to Tong Cheng; otherwise, Tong Cheng wouldn’t have confessed.

Tong Cheng, having come to his senses, recalled his own words with a pale face, but his eyes were full of anger.

"What exactly did you do to me?" Tong Cheng fiercely asked Liu Hun.

"Sorry, besides being skilled in medicine, I also know hypnotism," Liu Hun said to Tong Cheng apologetically.

He naturally couldn’t tell everyone about having Golden Gu and intended to use it continuously in the future. Using hypnotism as a cover wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

"You..." Tong Cheng, upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter anything.

No matter what he said now, it seemed powerless, as the truth had already come out, and he himself had confessed, leaving no room for reversal.

The Tong Family did hold high status in the Huaihai Province, but currently, they were in the Southeast Province. Furthermore, they had murdered an international friend from the Red Cross Society. If pursued, this matter would indeed cause trouble.

If escalated, it would impact their family; if not, he would be the unlucky one. Either way, his days wouldn’t be pleasant.

Tong Cheng hadn’t expected his spontaneous decision, thought to be the perfect plan, to be uncovered by Liu Hun in a moment.

"Tong Cheng, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. I thought you were decent these past few days, damn it, I’ll kill you!" Doug, seeing Tong Cheng acknowledging it, shouted loudly.

With a few cries of anger, Doug rushed forward. He might not be able to best Liu Hun, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t handle Tong Cheng.

Seeing Tong Cheng constantly being beaten by Doug, no one showed any sympathy.

Rose and Doug had saved many people in recent days, seen by all. Now that Tong Cheng had attempted to murder Rose and frame Liu Hun, it was unforgivable in everyone’s eyes.

For a moment, all the villagers rushed up and joined Doug in beating Tong Cheng.

"Ah..." Suddenly, Tong Cheng screamed, and everyone stopped.

Standing outside, Liu Hun spotted Tong Cheng’s broken leg at a glance, bleeding profusely, looking extremely miserable.
