Chapter 59: The Truth Finally Revealed

The appearance of Miss Bai was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, instantly shattering the post-disaster tranquility of the medical clinic.

With lotus-like steps, she moved gracefully, every stride seeming to tread upon the very heartstrings of those present. She walked straight toward Jiang Yu, her affectionate eyes seemingly tangled with countless threads of romance.

"Jiang Yu, are you alright? I was so worried about you." Miss Bai's voice was tender enough to wring water from, yet it carried an unmistakable trace of persistence. She reached out, attempting to grasp Jiang Yu's arm as if to pull him away from the crowd.

However, Jiang Yu was not buying her act.

He shifted slightly, dodging Miss Bai's touch, and instead took a step toward Qu Wanqing, his gaze fixed on her with unwavering firmness.

This action was like a resounding slap, fiercely landing across Miss Bai's face.

The smile on her face froze instantly. In the air, an awkward atmosphere congealed abruptly, so tense it felt as though it might detonate in the next second.

"Jiang Yu, you... you are actually dodging me?" Miss Bai's voice carried a trace of a tremor, her fingernails digging deep into her palms.

The look she cast at Qu Wanqing was like a poisoned blade, wishing she could tear her to pieces alive.

"This woman is no good at all! She is here to ruin the clinic! You've all been tricked by her!"

"Ruining the clinic?" Qu Wanqing raised an eyebrow, as if she had just heard some astronomical joke.

She slowly stepped forward, standing proudly erect like a queen. Faced with Miss Bai's accusations, she showed not the slightest bit of fear, her tone calm yet sharp. "I came to the clinic to uncover the truth behind the remarriage crisis. Everything I've done has been in self-defense. Yet you, the moment you appeared, began slandering others—how venomous your intentions are!"

"You..." Qu Wanqing left Miss Bai utterly speechless, her complexion turning ashen.

Qu Wanqing did not give her a chance to retort, continuing relentlessly, "You keep claiming I am destroying the clinic, but I just saved you all a moment ago! In your eyes, is the savior actually the mastermind? Are you trying to divert attention to cover up some unspeakable secret?"

Qu Wanqing's rhetorical questions struck straight to the heart. The surrounding people began to whisper among themselves, casting gazes filled with suspicion toward Miss Bai.

Driven by a mix of shame and anger, Miss Bai pointed at Qu Wanqing with a trembling finger, yet she could no longer utter a single word in rebuttal.

At that moment, the patient Zhao, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out an incoherent murmur: "The truth... the truth... cannot... cannot..."

Doctor Li frantically covered patient Zhao's mouth, casting nervous glances all around.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu also took a step forward. His gaze was resolute and filled with power, resembling the calm before a storm, brewing an impending tempest.

"Miss Bai..."

"Miss Bai," Jiang Yu's voice was as cold as frost, shattering the bizarre deadlock. "You keep claiming that Wanqing is destroying the clinic, yet you say not a word about what happened before. When we first arrived at the clinic, you put up every possible obstacle, and now you are in a rush to change the subject. What exactly are you trying to conceal?"

He paused, his gaze burning like a torch, pressing closely upon Miss Bai. "If I am not mistaken, you are no kind soul at all. You want to monopolize the secrets of the clinic, don't you? Your true purpose is to drive us all out so you can do as you please!"

Jiang Yu's words were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through Miss Bai's meticulously crafted mask.

Her face turned pale, her eyes panicked, and her body trembled slightly, resembling a clown stripped of all pretense.

The people around her shifted their gazes from doubt to disdain, and finally to disgust, all within the span of mere seconds.

The onlookers wore expressions that clearly spelled out "so that's how it is," as if watching a magnificent blockbuster annual drama.

When Qu Wanqing saw this scene, she felt immensely gratified inside. What did it mean to be truly satisfying? This was precisely what it meant!

After playing the pure and innocent act for so long, wasn't this white lotus still having her true face exposed by her and Jiang Yu?

The corners of her mouth ticked upward slightly, her inner monologue running wild: *Hmph, is that really all you've got?*

*Big sister here hasn't even started exerting herself yet!*

"Jiang Yu..." Miss Bai began.

Jiang Yu did not spare her another glance. Instead, he turned to look at Qu Wanqing, his gaze tender and steadfast like a deep pool, capable of drowning anyone who fell into it.

He once again tightly grasped Qu Wanqing's hand, as if intending to melt her into his very being.

"Wanqing, I only believe in you." His voice was low and magnetic, carrying an imperceptible tremor.

Qu Wanqing's heart was instantly enveloped by a wave of warmth. She looked into Jiang Yu's eyes, which were brimming with profound affection and trust, as if the entire world had been reduced to just the two of them.

Everything around them blurred into insignificance; the clamorous noises and the chaotic scene no longer mattered. Within their world, there remained only each other's heartbeat.

"Wanqing, be careful..." Jiang Yu gripped her hand a little tighter.

"Mm." Qu Wanqing smiled softly, responding to Jiang Yu's deep affection.

At that moment, the love between the two reached its peak, seeming capable of transcending time and space to withstand all hardships and obstacles.

Just then, Qu Wanqing suddenly sensed a strong wave of crisis. She took a deep breath, her gaze turning sharp once more. She turned around and walked toward the depths of the clinic.

"Doctor Li, regarding patient Zhao's situation, we must get to the bottom of it today." Qu Wanqing wheeled around, her gaze piercing like a torch as she stared straight into the inner recesses of the clinic, as if determined to see through all hidden secrets.

Every step she took was firm and powerful; even though thick fog lay ahead, it could not deter her resolve to unearth the truth.

"Doctor Li, the matter regarding patient Zhao must be resolved today!"

The corridor was deep and gloomy, the mottled traces on the walls seeming to recount ancient tales.

The air was permeated with a faint fragrance of herbs, yet mingled with an imperceptible scent of decay that stirred unease.

Qu Wanqing keenly captured this anomaly, and alarm bells began to ring wildly in her mind.

*This clinic definitely has issues!* she thought to herself.

Suddenly, a gust of eerie wind swept through, rustling the fallen leaves on the ground with a soft whisper. The candlelight on both sides of the corridor flickered accordingly, resembling the murmurs of wraiths.

Qu Wanqing could not help but shiver slightly. This bizarre atmosphere reminded her of classic tropes from horror films.

*No way, are they playing for keeps?* she muttered internally, yet her pace did not hesitate for a fraction of a second.

She pushed open a heavy wooden door, and the view suddenly broadened before her—a spacious pharmacy came into sight.

The medicine cabinets were lined with various medicinal herbs, exuding a rich aroma, but upon closer inhalation, a trace of blood rust was mixed within.

Qu Wanqing immediately turned vigilant. This scent of blood was very faint; had her sense of smell not been exceptionally sharp, she would never have noticed it.

*Something definitely happened here!*

Just then, she noticed something seemingly behind the medicine cabinet. Cautiously skirting around it, the scene before her left her utterly shocked—a concealed compartment, inside of which was hidden a diary and a letter.

Qu Wanqing picked up the diary and flipped through it rapidly. The diary recorded the true identity of patient Zhao—he turned out to be...

And that letter exposed the critical connection between the clinic and her remarriage crisis, revealing that...

"So that's how it is!" Qu Wanqing let out an excited low whisper; all the puzzles had finally been solved!

She felt as though Conan had possessed her—there was only one truth!

Just as she was immersed in the joy of discovery, she suddenly noticed the final page of the diary, upon which a line of text was written: "This is only the beginning..."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Qu Wanqing muttered to herself, as a wave of unease surged into her heart.

At that moment, Jiang Yu walked in. "Wanqing, are you alright?"

Qu Wanqing shook her head, pointing to the words on the diary. "Look..."

After reading it, Jiang Yu's expression grew similarly grave.

"It seems things are not as simple as we imagined..."

*Creak—* With a sound, the door of the pharmacy was pushed open...
