Chapter 200: Chapter 199: Unfilial Son"I never expected Ni Yuehua to have this kind of fervor."
Sang Yan, having witnessed the scene, sighed and then became worried, "It looks like He Fengyang is not going to talk now."
With such a fanatical and intense mother, wouldn’t the son be influenced to some degree?
"Not necessarily."
He Ying shook his head, watching with a detached expression the people below who were scared to vomiting.
He Fengyang was initially touched by his mother’s words, but the next moment, the sight of her committing suicide terrified him into kneeling and vomiting.
So much blood!
The bright, sharp blade piercing through the flesh, how painful that must be!
He was most afraid of pain!
"I, I’ll talk! Don’t, don’t kill me! I, I’ll tell everything!"
While vomiting, He Fengyang cried, "The He family indeed secretly conducted medical experiments. Initially, they used my sisters for research, and after both my sisters... died, the woman He Hongzhao was no longer under control, so they targeted... patients. In fact, using critically ill patients for experiments has always been a tradition of the He family."
He, desperate to survive, confessed all those family secrets.
After hearing this, Gao Wenliang loudly asked, "Is what you have said true?"
Suppressing a laugh, he thought to himself: Just as the Emperor predicted! This He Fengyang, being spoiled by the He couple, has developed a selfish character! To save his own life, he’d say anything!
"You are leading the witness! That doesn’t count!"
Seeing the family reputation falling apart, He Zhongwen attempted to intervene, shouting furiously, "Unfilial son! Your mother and I did this for the advancement of medical science, and our medical books will be cherished for generations to come! What do you know, you ungrateful child!"
He shared his wife’s view that necessary sacrifices were unavoidable for the advancement of medical science.
They were not wrong!
"But you produced the Leisurely Powder!"
He Fengyang countered his father’s words but became timid halfway through, "Father, just admit it, otherwise we’ll die! We’ll all die!"
Seeing his son so disheartened, He Zhongwen shouted in rage, "Pah, you coward scared of death, unworthy of the He family!"
Gao Wenliang, observing the father-son dialogue, pinpointed the critical issue: "What is the Leisurely Powder?"
He Zhongwen trembled at the mention of these words and said nothing.
Gao Wenliang looked towards He Fengyang, who was trembling, about to say something but then closed his mouth.
How could he dare to speak?
The Leisurely Powder was his father’s project for studying brain activity, but after mistakenly consuming it and finding it enjoyable, he started selling it for money.
Not realizing that after several doses, it became addictive, triggering manic reactions towards women, especially young girls...
"No need for nonsense. My He family has been practicing medicine for generations, and even if slightly unorthodox, it has been for the wellbeing of the public. If you must kill, then kill, for I, He Zhongwen, have a clear conscience!"
He looked at his deceased wife, initially as timid as her, but suddenly found the courage to face death nobly.
He was a man, and if he didn’t show more resolve than his wife, what would be the point in living?
"The only thing I regret is my medical book—"
He closed his eyes, shedding tears.
The people were bewildered, unsure whether to sympathize or be angry: The He family secretly conducted medical experiments on patients! They had all visited the He Family Clinic for treatment and unknowingly became subjects of research!
It was a chilling realization!
Even if they were well now, who knew if there were latent toxins in their bodies?
"I went to the He Family Clinic just recently."
"What should we do? Could I have been experimented on without knowing?"
"I felt a bit of vomiting a few days ago, and just got better these past two days, does that mean I’m alright?"
"Stop talking, I’m scared..."
Panic gradually spread.
Just then, a man in coarse cotton clothes, with eyes red, stepped onto the execution ground.
Gao Wenliang wanted to stop him, but glancing at He Ying and Sang Yan, saw that neither intended to intervene, so he let the man through.
The man came up to He Zhongwen and shouted loudly, "Last month, my daughter just had a common fever, but after visiting your He Family Clinic, she died less than two hours later—is that what your clinic did?"
He Zhongwen looked up at the man and shook his head.
This infuriated the man.
"You’re lying, aren’t you? My daughter was only eight years old, you beasts!"
He punched out, hitting He Zhongwen so hard that he spat out blood.
"You tell me! Did you use my daughter for your research! You scoundrel! Give me back my daughter’s life!"
"I didn’t, I didn’t—"
But his words had already lost credibility.
The man didn’t believe him and turned to He Fengyang, who was so frightened that he begged for mercy repeatedly.
"It has nothing to do with me. I don’t know anything. Don’t hit me."
He Fengyang’s backbone was too weak.
After taking a couple of punches, he spat out two teeth and miserably changed his statement, "It was my father’s doing, the He Family has no daughters now, he had to use the bodies of young girls to test the Leisurely Powder, selling it to those rich young masters, it has nothing to do with me!"
So that was it!
They actually used the bodies of young girls to experiment with the Leisurely Powder!
The He Family actually developed such a morally corrupt drug!
"You unfilial son! I developed the Leisurely Powder to study the human brain, it was because you accidentally ingested it that it got out! You really know how to shift the blame! Everything I did was to clean up your mess! Forget it, forget it—"
He Zhongwen was too disappointed in his son.
"Ha ha ha—"
He laughed maniacally, madly shoving the soldiers aside and pouncing towards He Fengyang, biting his son on the neck.
He Fengyang screamed, his legs kicking directly into his biological father’s stomach.
The two grappled together.
Who could tell they were father and son?
Saying they were enemies wouldn’t be an overstatement.
"I will kill you, you hypocritical father and son, what a medical family, you’re clearly devils!"
The man violently pulled out a soldier’s saber and chopped towards He Zhongwen.
As the cold, long blade was about to plunge into his heart—
Without hesitation, He Zhongwen pulled He Fengyang towards him...
"Puchi."
The long blade stabbed into He Fengyang’s abdomen.
Blood dripped down from the blade, forming little crimson flowers on the ground.
"My son, don’t blame your father, I am going down—"
He contemplated suicide.
Sang Yan saw this scene and shouted, "Don’t kill him!"
She suddenly realized—He Zhongwen must not die! They shouldn’t kill He Zhongwen!
But she was too late!
He Zhongwen hugged his son from behind, the two of them skewered together.
"Father, I don’t... want to die."
"Don’t be scared, your father is with... you..."
They fell to the ground together.
In the distance, thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.
The townspeople saw it and exclaimed in panic:
"It’s a fire!"
"It looks like the He Family Clinic!"
"This is divine punishment!"
"Heaven is watching!"
...
They immediately changed their previously respectful attitudes, beginning to scorn the He Family members.
A mob is always easy to manipulate emotionally.
Sang Yan was different, she quickly realized, "It’s not divine punishment! It’s He Hongzhao!"
Why would He Hongzhao set the He Family Clinic on fire at this time?
Besides venting anger, there must be another reason!
The medical book!
She grabbed He Ying and ran, "Quickly! The He Family Medical Book cannot fall into He Hongzhao’s hands!" Sear?h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
