Wu Youcai opened his mouth, but clearly didn't know what to say. He looked at Hong Gu in a panic.

Hong Gu glared at him with disgust, then looked at Yu Shuyan and said loudly:

"Don't try to change the subject here. You just pull out a needle and start asking all sorts of irrelevant questions. What's the point? People just have good eyesight, they're afraid of pain, and they haven't been pricked by your needle. So what? Is it their fault?"

Wu Youcai perked up:

"That's right, if you caused someone's death, you're a fraud and deserve to die. We're dealing with you to rid the people of a scourge."

His smug look clearly showed his confidence that as long as he pretended to be stupid and didn't admit it, Yu Shuyan would have no way to deal with him.

A slight smile slowly appeared on Yu Shuyan's lips.

Then, to Hong Gu's shock and fear, he plunged the needle into her neck.

In an instant, Hong Gu's lips turned purple, her whole body convulsed, and she collapsed to the ground. Blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth.

It took Wu Youcai a while to realize what Yu Shuyan had done.

He rushed to Hong Gu's side, pulled her into his arms, and cried out urgently:

"Hong Gu, Hong Gu, wake up, wake up!"

The onlookers were clearly taken aback by this outcome. A commotion erupted, and they all involuntarily took a few steps back in fright.

But still, taking advantage of their numbers, they pointed and whispered at Yu Shuyan:

"To dare kill someone in broad daylight. This isn't some miracle doctor, he's a complete madman."

"Yes, she's crazy. Such a ruthless woman should get out of Lingjin City."

"That's right, get lost!"

"roll"

······

Yu Shuyan ignored their reactions. She simply stared at Wu Youcai with a mocking look in her eyes.

Seeing that Hong Gu's happiness was over, Wu Youcai angrily turned his head and met Yu Shuyan's mocking gaze. He was even more enraged and, no longer in the mood to think, burst into a tirade:

"You bitch, how could you be so heartless? Yu Moyan was a cripple, so what if he died? But you actually dared to poison my Hong Gu for the sake of a cripple like him. How could you be so vicious!"

Yu Shuyan's eyes gleamed with even more mockery:

"Oh dear, you can't just say things like that. I only pricked her with a needle, how could that have poisoned her!"

Wu Youcai was furious and, without thinking, blurted out:

"How could you not poison her? That needle was coated with deadly poison. You used it to prick Hong Gu. If you didn't poison her, then who did?"

Yu Shuyan's eyes held an even stronger hint of amusement:

"Oh, I'm really curious. How did you know that the needle was poisoned? Could it be yours?"

Wu Youcai was momentarily confused by her, his eyes filled with panic, and he avoided her gaze as he said:

"You're talking nonsense! How could that needle be mine? I don't know either. That needle was poisoned. I just... I just..."

Yu Shuyan confused him, preventing him from thinking further, and continued to press him with questions:

"Also, didn't you say that I killed Yu Moyan? How come you're saying that I killed your Hong Gu for him? Could it be that Yu Moyan's death is related to you?"

Pretending to ponder for a moment, then suddenly realizing something, he feigned surprise and said:

"Oh, I see. I just forced this needle out of Yu Moyan's body. Yu Moyan wasn't harmed by my treatment, but rather by the poison on this needle."

"You were so perceptive about this needle, so afraid of it, that you punched Hong Gu to avoid touching it. And when Hong Gu was pricked by the needle, you knew she was poisoned. You even said I was avenging Yu Moyan."

"There is only one answer to all of this."

"That is, it was you who injected Yu Moyan with that needle coated with deadly poison."

The resolute tone left Wu Youcai speechless, his heart pounding with guilt, his eyes darting around nervously.

Everyone looked at him with suspicion in their eyes. They were clearly beginning to believe that Yu Shuyan was telling the truth. Someone suddenly realized:

"Yes, everyone, think about it. We were tricked into coming here by them on the roadside. We didn't realize it at first, but now that we think about it, they wanted to use us from the very beginning to ruin Lady Yuan's reputation."

“Yes, yes, now that you mention it, I think it makes sense too. It seems very likely that it was that Divine Physician Ouyang who sent these people here to ruin Lady Yuan’s reputation because he saw that Lady Yuan wanted to outshine him.”

"How wicked you are!"

······

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Wu Youcai's panic intensified. He glared at Yu Shuyan and roared:

"You're talking nonsense! Do you have any evidence for what you're saying? If you don't have any evidence, then it's slander, it's just you talking nonsense because you're guilty. I can take you to the authorities. Do you have any evidence?"

Everyone looked at Yu Shuyan. Clearly, if she couldn't produce any evidence, then what she said could only be speculation and could not be used as evidence.

And indeed, she killed two people in front of everyone.

Yu Shuyan sighed deeply and lowered her head.

Seeing her lower her head, Wu Youcai became smug again, thinking that she definitely had no evidence, and pleaded with the crowd:

"Fellow villagers, don't believe this woman's nonsense. She must be very cunning to be a con artist. I'm just an honest man, how could I possibly be a match for her? She's easily fooled with just a few words. Fellow villagers, you must stand up for me!"

Her pitiful, pleading appearance drew suspicious glances from everyone, who unconsciously turned their attention to Yu Shuyan.

Wu Youcai noticed the change in everyone's expression, and his smugness intensified. He looked at Yu Shuyan and met her gaze as she looked up. Then, he raised an eyebrow at her with a provocative look in his eyes.

Yu Shuyan looked at him, then suddenly feigned surprise, pointing to his chest and exclaiming in astonishment:

"Oh dear, the hidden weapon has been exposed."

Wu Youcai, who had been relaxed, was jolted awake by her shout. He instinctively lowered his head and frantically covered his face.

Chest.

Seeing their flustered and panicked appearance, what else could they not understand?

They all pointed at Wu Youcai with disdain and began to curse:

"We almost got scammed by him. That despicable and vile man is shameless."

"Exactly, I really don't know if Doctor Ouyang knows what they're doing!"

······

Wu Youcai knew he was doomed.

They even began to hate Ouyang Feng, knowing full well that this woman was not easy to deal with, yet he still sent them here to cause her trouble.

Oh, poor Hong Gu, if you were to die, I really wouldn't want to live anymore.

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and he suddenly burst into tears.

"Yes, I killed Yu Moyan, but aren't you a doctor? How can a doctor treat human life so carelessly? You don't deserve to be a doctor, you don't deserve it! My Hong Gu, Hong Gu, you died so tragically!"

Yu Shuyan was so angry at his logic that she laughed:

"So, you mean doctors are just supposed to be taken advantage of and can't fight back? Otherwise, they're not good doctors?"

Wu Youcai wailed and glared at her, his eyes wide with fury. It was as if he wanted to tear her flesh off piece by piece.

Yu Shuyan said coldly:

"Stop howling, she's not dead yet!"

Wu Youcai continued to howl:

"Even if you don't die now, you'll be dead soon. That medicine is lethal; there's no antidote. What difference does it make whether you die now or later?"

Yu Shuyan frowned:

"She can't die as long as I want to!"

Wu Youcai's wailing suddenly stopped, and he stared hesitantly at Yu Shuyan:

"Can you... save her?"

Yu Shuyan nodded indifferently.

A hint of joy appeared on Wu Youcai's face.

Yu Shuyan's cold voice came out again:

"That depends on what you can give me!"
