第110章 "最怕的秘密" (The Most Fearsome Secret)

**110章：**:**

Chen Yang's grip on Lin Xuan's wrist remained firm, his eyes never wavering from the man's frantic gaze. Lin Xuan's face was now deathly pale, his eyes searching desperately for an escape. But there was none.

"Say it," Chen Yang's voice was low and deadly, the words dripping with an unspoken threat. "Tell me what you're hiding."

Lin Xuan's lips trembled, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he swallowed hard. For a moment, it seemed as though he would finally break and confess. But then, a flicker of defiance ignited in his eyes, and he steeled himself.

Chen Yang's gaze intensified, his grip on Lin Xuan's wrist closing like a vice. "Don't play games with me, Lin Xuan," he warned, his tone laced with a cold, hard steel. "I know you're hiding something. And I'll find out what it is, no matter what it takes."

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with anger, but he knew better than to resist. Under Chen Yang's unyielding stare, he felt his resolve crumble, his secrets slowly pouring out like a dam about to burst.

"It's...it's about Dr. Zhang," Lin Xuan stammered, his voice barely audible. "He was...he was involved in some shady dealings. I didn't want to get caught up in it, but he...he blackmailed me."

Chen Yang's grip on Lin Xuan's wrist relaxed, his eyes narrowing in calculation. "What kind of dealings?" he asked, his tone deadly calm.

Lin Xuan's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for an escape route. "I don't know, okay? He wouldn't tell me, but I think it had something to do with...with Dr. Lee."

Chen Yang's eyes snapped into focus, his mind racing with the implications. Dr. Lee, the renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, was a respected figure in the medical community. What could he possibly have to do with Lin Xuan's secrets?

"Dr. Lee?" Chen Yang repeated, his voice dripping with skepticism. "What do you mean?"

Lin Xuan's eyes dropped, his shoulders sagging under the weight of his secrets. "I...I saw him arguing with Dr. Zhang one night. They were...they were talking about something in hushed tones. I didn't think much of it at the time, but...but now I'm not so sure."

Chen Yang's eyes never left Lin Xuan's face, his mind racing with the possibilities. The more he learned, the more he realized that the truth was far more complex than he had initially suspected.

And as he stood there, his grip on Lin Xuan's wrist still firm, he knew that he had only scratched the surface of a much larger conspiracy. Little did he know that the darkest secrets were yet to come, and that the truth would shatter everything he thought he knew about the medical community.

As the silence hung heavy in the air, Chen Yang's eyes seemed to bore deeper into Lin Xuan's very soul. And in that moment, Lin Xuan knew that he was trapped, with no escape from the storm that was raging around him.
