Chapter 486: Pulled into a trap

"You don't seem to be worried about your current circumstances. According to my knowledge, you will be participating in the National Healer Selection tomorrow, and there's not much time left for you." Ye Ling initially thought that it would be a psychological battle by making Su Tao feel helpless and panicky. However, she never expected that Su Tao would be so composed, acting as if this detention center was a resort.

In her heart, the rage she felt for Su Tao wasn't any inferior to her twin's.

Because Su Tao was the first person that slapped her, she wanted to take vengeance against Su Tao. Not because the slap was painful, but because it was extremely humiliating.

It turned out that Ye Ling was indeed well-informed of him and even knew the examination phase of the National Healer Selection tomorrow. That had also confirmed his conjecture that the mastermind wasn't trying to get rid of him and just wanted him to miss the National Healer Selection tomorrow.

After Song Sichen's reminder, Su Tao secluded himself in his apartment to avoid these schemes. But even so, he was still framed in the end.

He had also watched the video of how 'he' beat Huo Kun up. When he saw it, he instantly suspected if he had a twin brother in this world.

"If I can't participate in the National Healer Selection tomorrow, then it's a joke that fate has played on me. But I don't feel that it's necessarily a loss." Su Tao shrugged his shoulders and continued, "It's just a title, and I'm a physician. I still have many patients. Even if I can't treat those influential figures, I can still treat others."

At this moment, Ye Ling had to re-examine Su Tao. This was a tough enemy. Just his calmness alone was worthy of her respect.

Suddenly, Ye Ling's heart throbbed. She constantly reminded herself not to be interested in Su Tao. She's a smart woman, and he knew how dangerous it was to be interested in something, which she might fall in without her noticing.

"You're more confident and stubborn than I've imagined. I initially wanted to offer you a deal, but I don't think there's a need for that now!" Ye Ling blinked as she playfully smiled.

This woman must be trying something!

"Why don't you talk about it? Who knows? Perhaps it might interest me." Su Tao asked.

After being silent for a few seconds, Ye Ling tempted, "If you're willing to admit your crime, then I can promise that I can get you released from custody. Tomorrow, you will be able to participate in the examination phase of the National Healer Selection."

"I refuse!" Su Tao decisively declared.

"Why?" Ye Ling burst into laughter.

"I'm not guilty, so why should I admit it? Are you trying to pull me into a trap?" Su Tao smiled.

Letting out a deep sigh, Ye Ling replied, "The evidence is already before your eyes, and I admire how thick-faced you are to deny it."

"Evidence can be fabricated. Let's say you want to frame me; you can get someone disguised as me and have them rape you and record that video as a piece of evidence to be used against me." Su Tao analysed.

"You!" Ye Ling's face was swept by rage. She admitted that she had successfully been enraged, which meant that she had lost.

At the same time, Su Tao's words raised her alert. Why does Su Tao decline his crime so firmly? Could it be that he's really framed?

If that's the case, then her cousin was indeed foolish.

He actually got himself injured to force the Ye Family to make a move.

"You're a smart woman, and you should have smelt the scent of a plot by now. So that's why you're coming here to see me." Su Tao analysed Ye Ling's thoughts as he tried to get her to believe in him. If the Ye Family hesitated, then there's a higher chance of him getting out of this situation. "The Ni and Ye Families are in a crucial period for their gold mine transaction, and if there's a conflict, who do you think will benefit the greatest?"

Xia Yu had already received news of the partnership between the Ni and Ye Families, so Su Tao purposely expanded the meaning of the conflict.

He's now in a disadvantageous position, so he could only try to do what he can right now.

As a list of names appeared in Ye Ling's mind, her face remained solemn, since she knew that Su Tao was trying to convince her. However, she still allowed him to continue talking.

As long as you know your opponent's thoughts, then you will be able to have a better understanding of that person.

Su Tao thought that she had been convinced by his words and continued, "I think you can try and find out who else is trying to buy the gold mine!"

All of a sudden, Ye Ling smiled. "You're pretty eloquent, but you've used it on the wrong person. Even if I know that there's a mastermind behind this situation, I won't let you go so easily."

"Because of that slap?" Su Tao asked.

Once again, rage ignited in Ye Ling's heart. Su Tao was truly courting death. Despite being in a disadvantageous position, he still tried to provoke her.

"That's right! I will make you kneel before me and beg!"

"Actually, that slap is good for you!" Su Tao smiled.

"Oh? Why don't you enlighten me, then!" Ye Ling tried her best to calm down.

"You have wisdom teeth, and that slap of mine might seem rude, but you can consider it as me trying to treat you." Su Tao slowly explained.

"How laughable!" Ye Ling raged in disdain as she stood up.

Shrugging his shoulders, Su Tao joked with a smile, "You can deny it, but you know it well in your heart. If you want to have it completely resolved, then remember to come and look for me!"

Ye Ling left the cell in an uncertain mood. She subconsciously touched her chin. Her wisdom teeth weren't known by many. Whenever the weather is cold, her teeth would start to ache, and it would also be hard for her to swallow food. Even talking would pose great difficulty to her.

Even if she knew that Su Tao's claim of treating her was complete bullshit, a thought bore in her heart; whether she should let him try and treat her.

Although she nearly blew her composure chatting with Su Tao several times, Ye Ling still achieved her motive. Because she had found her answer and believed that Su Tao wasn't the one who beat her cousin up to this state.

That's because, if Su Tao did that, then there's no need for him to deny so firmly of his crimes unless his psychology was inhumane.

She could smell the scent of a plot. This matter not only concernEd the enmity between Su Tao and Huo Kun, but it might also affect the interest of the Ye Family. Hence, she had to be cautious when dealing with this matter. First, she had to find who's the mastermind. With her cousin's intelligence, it's impossible for him to achieve this without someone guiding him.

However, even if she believed that Su Tao was speaking the truth, she won't try and free him, since it was his punishment for being rude to her.

Not long after Su Tao stayed in his cell, the officer came again.

"Someone's here to see you!"

Aside from being bored, everything was well for him in the cell. The officers were all extremely polite, and no one treated him as a criminal. So that meant that someone must have greeted the people here.

The one that visited him was Lan Yuan. She was dressed as an ordinary white-collared worker who seemed extremely ordinary from her clothes.

His gaze revolved around her collar. He never expected that this secret agent could squeeze out some cleavage.

Lan Yuan did not notice his lustful gaze and seemed unhappy with her brows locked. "I never expected that the other party would use this tactic, catching us off guard!"

"Someone from the Witchcraft Sect disguised as me to beat Huo Kun up?" Su Tao had already guessed the entire incident. Perhaps it's hard for others to come to this conclusion, but it was easy for Su Tao.

Firstly, he's definitely not the one that beat up Huo Kun, so it must be someone else.

Secondly, the Witchcraft Sect was continuously watching him, and they're proficient in the skill of disguise.

However, he was baffled since he couldn't figure out why the Witchcraft Sect would join forces with Huo Kun.

"We've locked onto Wang Guofeng, and he met with an old man in a teahouse today. The old man briefly visited the washroom and disappeared." Lan Yuan patiently analysed and continued, "The only explanation is that the old man escaped with a disguise."

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao replied, "This is only a possibility, but you won't be able to get the police to let me free with just speculation alone!"

"That's right! If you want to be free, then we will need to find proof for you." Lan Yuan nodded her head.

Holding onto his chin, Su Tao briefly pondered and responded, "It's actually pretty simple. You only have to capture that disciple from the Witchcraft Sect."

"He's pretty cunning and cautious. How can we capture him?" Lan Yuan smiled bitterly.

"He must have made a transaction with Wang Guofeng." Su Tao slowly replied.

After a brief consideration, Lan Yuan took out her phone and handed it to Su Tao. "This is the video that Hei Jing took!"

Looking at it several times, Su Tao suddenly paused the video and asked, "Look at this! What did that old man receive from Wang Guofeng?"

"A plane ticket?" Lan Yuan exclaimed after looking at it for a long time.

"That's right! You guys can follow this clue, and you should be able to find that disciple from the Witchcraft Sect." Su Tao smiled as he exaggerated, "I hope that it won't affect my participation at the National Healer Selection. If I miss it, then my two masters will surely skin me alive!"

Glancing at Su Tao with a complicated look, Lan Yuan abruptly stood up. As Su Tao looked at Lan Yuan's silhouette, he wore a grave expression. He knew that it's unsafe for him to put his hopes on the 33 Bureau, and he had to handle it personally if he wanted to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Although he was framed by the Witchcraft Sect's disguising technique this time, Su Tao did not feel sullen. After all, if he made use of this opportunity well, then he might be able to eliminate that disciple from the Witchcraft Sect that has been hiding near him.

After all, it's uncomfortable having an enemy always around you, and he must make use of this opportunity to get rid of him.

Another half an hour later, Xia Yu came to visit him, and he had also picked up Liu Jianwei, who rushed over from Shenzhou City.

Seeing the two of them, Su Tao instantly felt confident. Although he had to remain in the detention center and couldn't go and arrest the culprit personally, he believed in both Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei's capability that the two of them can deal with this trouble.
