第113章 "敢怒敢言的誓约" (Dare to Enrage, Dare to Swear)

**113章：黑暗的阴影**

Chen Yang's words hung in the air like a challenge, and Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a mixture of fear and defiance. Chen Yang's grip on his wrist tightened, a warning to him not to try anything foolish.

"You're right," Lin Xuan spat out, his voice low and venomous. "I am hiding something from you. But you'll never find out what it is."

Chen Yang's face remained impassive, but his eyes narrowed slightly, a spark of interest igniting within them. "Try me," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Lin Xuan's eyes rolled heavenward, as if searching for an escape route. "You're not qualified to know," he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "You're just a lowly intern, a nobody."

Chen Yang's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger. "I may not be a high-ranking doctor, but I'm still a medical professional," he said, his voice growing cold. "And I will find out what you're hiding, no matter what it takes."

Lin Xuan's eyes locked onto Chen Yang's, a glimmer of fear flickering beneath the surface. For a moment, the two men stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.

Then, Lin Xuan's gaze dropped, and he said, "Fine. You want to know the truth? I'll tell you. But you have to promise me one thing: you have to keep this secret safe."

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What kind of secret?" he asked, his voice low and cautious.

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered back up to his, a look of desperation etched on his face. "The hospital is hiding something from the patients," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Something terrible, something that could ruin lives."

Chen Yang's grip on Lin Xuan's wrist tightened, his mind racing with possibilities. "What are you talking about?" he demanded, his voice growing more urgent.

Lin Xuan's eyes darted back and forth, as if searching for an escape route. "I can't say anymore," he said, his voice cracking. "You have to promise me you'll keep this secret safe."

Chen Yang's face was a mask of skepticism, but something about Lin Xuan's words resonated deep within him. He knew that he had to get to the bottom of this, no matter what it took.

"Fine," he said, his voice firm. "I promise. But you have to tell me the truth. What is the hospital hiding?"

Lin Xuan's eyes locked onto Chen Yang's, a look of fear and determination etched on his face. "I'll tell you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "But you have to be careful. The hospital will stop at nothing to keep this secret safe."

As Lin Xuan spoke, Chen Yang felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that he was in for a wild ride, and he wasn't sure if he was ready for the secrets that lay ahead.

And with that, the chapter ends, leaving the reader wondering what secrets the hospital is hiding, and whether Chen Yang will be able to uncover the truth...
