Chapter 577: An Assassin Arrives

Zhang Tianren heard this, chuckled and said.

"Young man, are you from medical school?"

"But we have no patients at home."

Hearing Zhang Tianren's words, Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"I'm not."

"I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."

"Traditional Chinese medicine?"

While Zhang Tianren was puzzled, Lin Yang said.

"Earlier outside, I took Qiling's pulse and realized he was poisoned."

"Moreover, it's a chronic poison; I feared your whole family might be poisoned, so I came specially to check."

As he said this, Lin Yang kept looking at him.

Zhang Tianren nodded and said.

"So that's how it is; you also have good intentions."

"Then let's talk in the living room."

Upon arriving in the living room, Zhang Tianren was especially cooperative, extending his hand.

"I've been feeling a bit unwell lately; please take a look at me."

Lin Yang also didn't hesitate, placing his hand on it.

"The Governor Vessel is abnormal, the five viscera are damaged."

"It seems you are also poisoned."

After saying that, Lin Yang furrowed his brows.

He thought this person had administered the poison.

He believed that by taking a pulse himself he could know.

But Zhang Tianren's symptoms were the same as Zhang Qiling's.

This made him somewhat doubtful.

His gaze swept around the room as he asked.

"In that case, have everyone come over, and I'll check them."

Zhang Tianren nodded and said.

"Sure."

Thus, all the servants in the house were summoned.

Although there were many people, Lin Yang still took their pulses one by one.

For each person whose pulse he took, he would ask about their identity.

After finishing the pulse-taking, Zhang Qiling asked.

"How is it?"

"Indeed, everyone is poisoned; your household certainly has someone administering chronic poison."

"How could that be!"

Zhang Qiling let out an exclamation of surprise.

Lin Yang, however, turned his gaze toward Zhang Tianren.

"Uncle Zhang, do you have any awareness of this matter?"

"None?"

"Our family has been the same for decades; there's nothing unusual."

Lin Yang asked: "Why haven't we seen the old master?"

Zhang Qiling said: "Grandfather usually goes out to play chess at this time."

As Zhang Qiling finished speaking, Zhang Tianren asked.

"Young brother, you are confident in your medical skill."

"May I ask your esteemed name?"

Lin Yang looked at him and said: "My name is Lin Yang."

"Lin Yang?"

Zhang Tianren looked suddenly enlightened, and said to Zhang Qiling.

"I've heard that name; for a period when Ling'er returned from Jinling, she kept mentioning it."

"No wonder, no wonder."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling's face instantly turned red.

"Second Uncle, don't talk nonsense!"

"It's not true!"

Zhang Tianren laughed heartily and said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, please stay for dinner at our house tonight."

Lin Yang, not being polite, agreed.

"Good, our Zhang family hasn't welcomed newcomers in a long time."

"Then I'll go attend to my affairs first."

After Zhang Tianren left, Lin Yang took out the medicine he had prepared.

"You go have them decoct the medicine, then divide it."

Zhang Qiling immediately grabbed the medicine and ran off shyly.

As she walked, she also complained.

"It's all Second Uncle's fault, making me unable to face people now."

At this moment, Lin Yang strolled around inside, looking at the Zhang family's layout.

Within the Zhang family, there indeed exists a Mountain Guarding Grand Formation.

However, this Mountain Guarding Grand Formation, in his view, is completely a castrated version.

Such a formation, he utterly looks down on it, and breaking it would be very easy.

And in the study, Zhang Tianren, seeing Lin Yang's position from the camera, couldn't help but frown.

"What does this brat want to do?"

His complexion looked somewhat bad.

"Lin Yang, you just caused such a big trouble at the Qin family, and now you've come to our Zhang family—are you really not afraid of death?"

Someone who can make the Qin family's old monster lower his head—Zhang Tianren naturally fears him greatly.

He let out a long sigh and spoke softly.

"Why does Heaven always like to toy with me."

"At this time, such a person has appeared."

Until someone came in holding the medicine, did his expression return to that of an honest and simple person.

He ordered the servant to put down the medicine, then let out a cold laugh.

"Still helping everyone detoxify, Lin Yang, you're truly all-capable."

"I never expected that Ling'er could know someone like you!"

Saying that, he held the bowl and walked to the bedside, pouring out all the medicine.

By evening, Lin Yang had intended to meet the Zhang family's grandfather during dinner.

However, the grandfather hadn't returned, so he just ate his meal and left.

Seeing Lin Yang about to leave, Zhang Qiling said.

"I'll see you off!"

On the way back to the Bulgari Hotel, Zhang Qiling proudly said to Lin Yang.

"I told you, my second uncle is a good person."

"Look at him, how good he is to you."

Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"You can't judge people like that."

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Zhang Qiling said somewhat angrily.

"How come in your eyes, my second uncle must be a bad person!"

"I never said that; that's what you said."

Zhang Qiling was so angry she went berserk.

Upon arriving at the place, Lin Yang got out of the car.

Zhang Qiling had just gotten ready to leave when she heard Lin Yang say.

"When you go back, be careful."

The angry Zhang Qiling raised her middle finger at Lin Yang to show her displeasure.

As for that, Lin Yang merely shook his head.

When he returned to outside his room and was about to push the door, his steps suddenly stopped.

The corner of his mouth slightly rose.

Then, he pushed the door open.

At the moment the door was pushed open, a crossbow bolt shot through the air, heading straight for Lin Yang's eyeball.

However, the crossbow bolt, upon reaching Lin Yang's face, suddenly stopped.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly appeared and fiercely slapped the crossbow bolt with a palm.

He intended to drive the crossbow bolt into Lin Yang's eyeball.

Just as he was about to touch the crossbow bolt, his wrist was seized by Lin Yang.

"Your sneak attack won't work."

Lin Yang had just finished speaking when two crossbow bolts came from left and right, heading straight for him.

Moreover, a huge lump of iron also fell from the ceiling.

But Lin Yang remained completely still, letting those things rush toward him.

Those things stopped around him and didn't move at all.

"Your these things can't hurt me!"

The black shadow, seeing this, had its pupils constrict.

He cursed inwardly, the Qin family side is screwing him over!

"Wasn't it said to be Golden Core Stage?"

"How is this anything like what a Golden Core Stage should be!"

He gritted his teeth, severed his own arm, then stood by the window.

He staunched the bleeding from his arm, gritted his teeth, and said to Lin Yang.

"This friend, this time I made a move, it was my rashness."

"I will never attack you again; my severed arm shall serve as my punishment."

"Let's call it even!"

"Call it even?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said to the black shadow.

"You're an assassin sent by the Qin clan, right?"

The black shadow didn't speak; Lin Yang took a step forward.

Lin Yang was already standing in front of him.

The black shadow saw Lin Yang and was terrified out of his wits.

"You've moved against me—you will surely die."

"You might as well go peacefully."

"Isn't this the resolve you assassins prepared for?"

The black shadow's soul fled in terror, and he jumped straight out the window.

Lin Yang shook his head.

"You can't get away—why bother?"
