Chapter 953 953: The Truth Revealed
Time ticked by little by little.
About half an hour later, Old Han finally showed some reaction and slowly woke up.
"Old Han, you're finally awake, thank god."
Old Han's wife was extremely agitated, crying tears of joy.
"What's going on, how come I…" Old Han's mind was a bit foggy, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Chen Xuan said softly, "Big Brother Han, do you still recognize me?"
"You're Doctor Chen, I…" When Old Han saw Chen Xuan, he lowered his head in shame.
He knew very well what had happened, and at this moment he had no face to see Chen Xuan, nor did he know what to say.
Seeing what was on his mind, Chen Xuan said gently, "Big Brother Han, you were deeply poisoned. If I hadn't acted in time just now to save you, I'm afraid your life would've been forfeit."
"It was extremely dangerous—if they had brought you here even a little bit later, I wouldn't have been able to save you."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving my life, I…I've wronged you!" Old Han was full of gratitude but also guilt, his expression very complicated.
"Old Han, what on earth is going on?"
Old Han's wife asked in confusion, "Did you get poisoned and pass out from drinking the herbal decoction I boiled for you?"
"Doctor Chen just said you took some other medicine that caused the poisoning, and that it had nothing to do with the herbs. Is that true?"
Sigh!
Old Han let out a bitter sigh. "Now that things have come to this, I don't need to hide anything anymore, I can't wrong Doctor Chen any further."
"It was Zhang Yunpeng and his men who egged me on, that's why I did such a stupid thing and almost got myself killed."
After roughly explaining the situation, Old Han looked at Chen Xuan, full of remorse. "Doctor Chen, I've wronged you!"
"I was tricked by them, and it was also my own greed that led to this. Please forgive me."
Chen Xuan waved his hand. "Since it's all been laid out, then let's leave it at that."
"However, I still hope you can clear my name for me. There are a lot of people watching outside."
"No problem, I'll definitely vouch for Doctor Chen. Think of it as giving me a chance to atone for my mistake." Old Han nodded solemnly.
Old Han's wife was filled with guilt. "Doctor Chen, I'm really sorry. I'm just a woman who doesn't know any better."
"When something like this suddenly happened, I panicked, blindly believed Zhang Yunpeng's words, and caused you a lot of trouble."
Chen Xuan chuckled calmly. "It's fine. As long as Big Brother Han steps forward to testify for me, it's not too late to fix everything."
Just then, Su Linlang walked over and said softly, "The herbs have finished decocting."
"Good, bring them over. Let Big Brother Han take them first."
Chen Xuan looked at him. "Big Brother Han, drink the herbal medicine first to help remove the remaining toxins in your body."
"You'll need to take the rest of the herbs home and drink them for a few consecutive days to completely clear out the poison. Only then will you truly be out of mortal danger."
"Thank you, Doctor Chen! You're my lifesaving benefactor!"
Old Han cupped his fists in thanks, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.
Chen Xuan smiled, stood up, and said, "In a bit, I'll trouble you, Big Brother Han, to come forward and clear my name."
With that, he walked out of the consultation room and went to the entrance of the pharmacy.
Zhang Yunpeng and the sales manager wore arrogant, contemptuous sneers. "Chen Xuan, just what kind of trick are you playing?"
"We don't have time to waste with you! Your medical skills are lacking and you killed someone with your prescription—you have to give the public an explanation!"
Chen Xuan sneered disdainfully. "Big Brother Han is already fine. As for what really happened, let him come out and explain it to everyone."
Huh?
Zhang Yunpeng and the sales manager were both stunned. Old Han actually woke up?
How is that possible!
The onlookers became even more curious. They all craned their necks, peering into the pharmacy.
"Old Han really came out!"
"He's not dead! He really got saved!"
"What on earth is going on? I'm totally confused now!"
"Don't rush it, wait till Old Han comes out and listen to what he says."
Everyone was utterly astonished, staring unblinkingly at Old Han and his wife.
Seeing Old Han being helped out by his wife, Zhang Yunpeng and the sales manager immediately felt that something was wrong.
Inside, they were even more shocked beyond belief. They would never have thought, not in a million years, that Old Han, who was at death's door from poisoning, could actually be saved by Chen Xuan.
If they had known this, they would've kept their cool and only brought him over after he was truly dead.
But unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now.
They had seriously underestimated Chen Xuan's medical skills.
At this moment, supported by his wife, Old Han walked to the entrance of the pharmacy.
Seeing all the onlookers staring at him, Old Han let out a lament. "Everyone, I hereby solemnly declare that Doctor Chen's medical skills are extremely superb, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with his herbs!"
"The reason I ended up like this is because I was misled by Zhang Yunpeng and did something this stupid!"
He immediately recounted what Zhang Yunpeng had told him, including the promise of a five-hundred-thousand reward afterward.
"According to what they said, I'd only pass out and wouldn't be in mortal danger. But I never expected they really wanted me dead, just to frame Doctor Chen!"
"Fortunately, Doctor Chen's medical skills are brilliant and he dragged me back from the gates of hell! I've wronged Doctor Chen!"
As he spoke, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Chen Xuan to beg forgiveness.
In an instant, Zhang Yunpeng's face turned incomparably dark; his entire plan had fallen apart…
