The Indifferent Young Master's Flash Marriage Chapter 778 - The Cloud Of Suspicion

Chapter 778: The Cloud Of Suspicion

Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was calm, but the attending physician felt as if there was a ray of light on his back as he was looked at indifferently.

The emperor’s aura was too strong. Just being looked at made him feel so terrified!

Should he say it or not?!

The attending physician’s hands were sweaty, and his heart felt as if it was a battle between heaven and earth, causing him to be extremely conflicted.

No matter which choice he made, it was enough to put a heavy burden on him.

Seeing that the attending physician had been lowering his eyes and not saying a word, Jiang Xuecheng could not help but feel a little surprised.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of increasing vigilance.

He sneered coldly, and a cold voice flew out from his thin lips, causing people to shudder in fear.

“That venomous scorpion stung me. If it was a venomous scorpion raised by someone intentionally, but you knew about it and did not report it, do you know what kind of crime that is?”

As he spoke, the light in Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes dimmed. His dark eyes were as deep as an abyss. No one knew what he was planning.

The attending physician felt an inexplicable fear. How could he not know what kind of crime he had committed!

The matter today could be big or small.

To put it in a small way, it might just be an accident. If the emperor didn’t pursue it, he might be able to cover it up after the emperor recovered!

But to put it simply, it would be a big deal!

Perhaps someone was plotting to take the Emperor’s life, and the safety of the Emperor’s life wasn’t something to joke about!

For someone like him who knew about the matter and didn’t report it, even if he was covering up the crime, he would be punished according to the perpetrator’s crime!

What should he do?!

In just a few short minutes, the chief physician was in a dilemma.

He glanced at his fingers and his heart was in a mess. He could not clear his thoughts at the moment.

…

Jiang Xuecheng was pressing him step by step. Although the chief physician clearly knew something, he was unwilling to speak.

Such a th.o.r.n.y stalemate immediately caused the atmosphere in the room to fall into a dead silence!

A few medical a.s.sistants who were traveling with the chief physician looked at each other. They did not understand why the chief physician was so stiff.

That was the emperor! Moreover, the emperor was injured this time.

If he was judged to know about it and did not report it, it might even implicate his family!

Su Wan also did not expect things to develop to this extent. She cast a puzzled look at Jiang Xuecheng.

Jiang Xuecheng quietly glanced at Su Wan, indicating that Su Wan did not need to say anything. As long as he came to handle this matter, it would be fine.

…

Jiang Xuecheng was also getting impatient from waiting. Since the chief physician’s behavior was so obvious, he was definitely not the only one who knew about the scorpion’s story.

Even if the chief physician insisted on keeping his mouth shut, it would at most be a little troublesome. He could use other methods to find the other accomplices.

Moreover…

Seeing how the chief physician rushed over to treat his injuries without stopping, and then displayed such a shocked expression, it was likely that he didn’t know about it before.

As a chief physician, he had quite a good life in the bloodshed G.o.d’s Palace. What matter could make him so troubled that he didn’t even hesitate to drag himself down?

Who could be the culprit behind this?!

The answer would most likely not be someone like Diya.

After all, for the sake of the eldest daughter of the Siswell family, Jiang Xuecheng felt that the chief physician didn’t need to be like this.

To be able to make the chief physician so afraid that he would not even hesitate to offend him…

Jiang Xuecheng snorted coldly in his heart. He had already locked on to an answer.

This ugly and venomous dead scorpion probably had something to do with the high priest.

Next, there were only two questions.

This scorpion appeared in Su Wan’s room. Was it a deliberate attempt to kill Su Wan, or was it an unintentional mistake that caused the scorpion to sneak out?

If it was the latter, it would be fine, but if it was the former…

When he thought of this, Jiang Xuecheng’s face instantly darkened, as if it was covered in a layer of frost.

No matter who wanted to harm Su Wan, he would not show mercy!

“Are you still not going to say it? Then I’m sorry, I can only lock you up for now. I might have to trouble you and your family for a period of time.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze was cold and unyielding. He stared at the chief physician from the corner of his eyes and spoke indifferently.

These words were only a verbal threat. Jiang Xuecheng did not really intend to do so.

After all, looking at this chief physician’s terrified appearance, it was clear that he did not know much. Moreover, he was also innocent in this matter.

His words were not only for the chief physician to hear, but also for everyone present. The most important one among them was Director Fan, who was also in this room.

That’s right. No matter what, Director Fan was a “Legacy of history” and a potential invisible bomb.

In the past, there had been rumors that Director Fan had an unclear relations.h.i.+p with the high priest. There was no truth to the rumors. Even if the rumors were not true, at least Director Fan’s loyalty to the high priest was set in stone.

This kind of loyalty might include reporting the movements of himself and the people around him to the high priest at any time.

The existence of Director Fan was equivalent to the eyes of the high priest, monitoring his every move at any time and place.

Unfortunately, his current authority was not enough. If he were to rashly change the director of the G.o.d’s Palace, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.

The criticism was secondary. The point was that Jiang Xuecheng currently could not find a trustworthy person to take up this position!

Rather than changing the person rashly, it would be better to leave this hidden danger behind and observe how the high priest was observing him from the side!

…

Jiang Xuecheng’s deep voice swept into his ears. Coupled with the mention of his family, the chief physician was immediately scared out of his wits.

He raised his head in trepidation and looked at the newly promoted emperor of the G.o.d’s Palace.

“Your Highness, actually, the scorpion in the gla.s.s bottle is called the golden giant scorpion–”

As he spoke, the chief physician stretched out his hand and pointed at the gla.s.s bottle.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw that the chief physician had relented, he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that things would be easier to handle.

“This scorpion is related to the High Priest, right?”

Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze swept past the dead scorpion in the gla.s.s bottle, and he was the first to express his opinion.

Once he said this, it was no different from a thunderous explosion on the ground!

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Including Su Wan, who was watching the show from the side!

Today, this venomous scorpion crawled into her room. Although she originally thought that it might be the high priest, her heart was still more inclined towards the eldest daughter of the Siswell family.

If it was the high priest, could it be that the high priest…

An arrogant face appeared in Su Wan’s mind. When she thought of the person who looked similar to her mother in Jiang Xuecheng, her face suddenly turned pale.

Was there only so many obstacles between her and Jiang Xuecheng?

Even the high priest wanted to kill her directly and end this once and for all?

Just as Su Wan was feeling apprehensive, she suddenly heard the chief physician stutter.

“Your Highness, this scorpion is indeed related to the High Priest, but things may not be as you think… It’s not convenient here, may I have a word with you?”
