**105章：暗流的渊源**

Chen Yang's grip on Lin Xuan's wrist remained unyielding, his eyes still burning with an unspoken intensity. Lin Xuan's eyes, however, had lost their spark, replaced by a mix of fear and resignation. He knew he was caught, and Chen Yang was not one to let go of a lead once grasped.

"You're not telling me everything, Lin Xuan," Chen Yang's voice was laced with conviction, his words dripping with menace. "What's the connection between you and that mysterious organization?"

Lin Xuan's face contorted in a mixture of anxiety and determination. He knew he had to come clean, but the truth was a double-edged sword. One wrong move, and he risked losing everything.

"I'll tell you," Lin Xuan's voice trembled, his words barely above a whisper. "But you have to promise me one thing: you have to listen."

Chen Yang's gaze narrowed, his grip on Lin Xuan's wrist tightening. "I'll listen, but don't think for a second that this will get you off scot-free. You're going down, Lin Xuan."

Lin Xuan's eyes locked onto Chen Yang's, a hint of desperation creeping in. "You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else. They'll kill me if they find out I've spoken."

Chen Yang's expression was unreadable, his voice a low growl. "I'll keep your secret, but only for now. You have one minute to tell me everything, and then the truth comes out, no matter what."

The air was thick with tension as Lin Xuan took a deep breath and began to speak, his words tumble out in a rush.

"It's about the ancient text... the one I've been searching for. I found it, but it's not what I expected. It's a recipe for a medicine, one that can cure any disease. But there's a catch – it can only be made by someone with a pure heart."

Chen Yang's eyes snapped onto Lin Xuan's, his grip on the man's wrist loosening. "Go on."

"It's why I've been working with that organization," Lin Xuan continued. "They want the medicine for their own purposes. But I didn't know it then. I only found out later, when it was too late."

Chen Yang's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger. "You're telling me you've been playing both sides, and now you expect me to believe you're telling the truth?"

Lin Xuan's eyes welled up with tears, his voice cracking. "I know I've made mistakes, but please, you have to believe me. I'm telling the truth. I swear on my honor as a doctor that I'm telling the truth."

The scene ended with Lin Xuan's words hanging in the air, leaving Chen Yang to wonder what he had just heard. Had Lin Xuan been telling the truth, or was it just another clever ruse? The truth, like the ancient text, remained hidden, waiting to be uncovered...
