Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1813 1814: Trading for Survival

Now the situation is quite clear. The conflicting location for both families is the same. It's because of this matter: the Master of the Hoshino Family says it was the Watanabe Family Head who took the Demon Hunters, and the Watanabe Family Head says it was the Master of the Hoshino Family who took them.

This situation seems rather odd; why is it that despite being the same event, everyone sees it completely differently? This suggests that someone must be lying here. Do you have a way to prove it?"

Hoshino Yuji said, "There's no way to prove what happened that day because all the witnesses have been killed."

Watanabe Kazushi said, "That's right, they really are all dead. You have no idea how powerful those Demon Hunters were. If we hadn't escaped quickly, we would probably be dead too."

Hoshino Yuji angrily replied, "Watanabe Kazushi, if you're not a traitor, how is it that you survived? Clearly, you committed evil as a traitor to secure a chance to live."

Watanabe Kazushi angrily retorted, "Hoshino Yuji, stop accusing me unjustly. I was a bit more powerful than you at the time. If you survived, why couldn't I?"

Ling Zhenfei gestured to both of them and said, "You two, calm down first. Although the truth between you two can't be proven, this matter can't be left unresolved. Others can't prove it, but I can."

Both of them looked at Ling Zhenfei together.

"How can you prove it?"

"Yes, you can say anything you want, but don't throw mud on us. I, Watanabe Kazushi, won't take this lying down."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course not. You will definitely accept my conclusion. You both just mentioned the course of events, and in your descriptions, you mentioned two people.

One is called Taozi, and the other is Lu Tao. I heard Miss Taozi has already been killed."

Hoshino Yuji said, "That's right, the first person killed when they came in was Taozi. At the time, she was treating another person and had no reaction before being killed."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Taozi is dead, so that leaves one other person, Lu Tao."

Watanabe Kazushi said, "I doubt Lu Tao can be found either. Since that event, I haven't seen him. I guess he's already dead."

Hoshino Yuji said, "Yes, when Taozi was killed, Lu Tao went crazy and charged at those Demon Hunters recklessly. I saw him fall off a cliff in the end; he's probably dead."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "I have to tell you, Elder Lu Tao is not only alive, but luckily, I know him."

Hoshino Yuji smiled happily, "That's truly great. We just need to find Lu Tao and ask him what happened at the time."

Watanabe Kazushi skeptically said, "Lu Tao is still alive? How is that possible? I always thought he was dead, and have been thinking of avenging him."

Hoshino Yuji said, "Kid, you're not tricking us, are you? How could you know Lu Tao?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I think everyone is very curious about who among the two family heads is lying. Now I have the chance to call Elder Lu Tao and let him tell everyone."

Then Ling Zhenfei picked up the phone and dialed Lu Tao's number.

Originally, Lu Tao didn't have a phone, but the house they live in does have a phone, and Ling Zhenfei has called a few times, so it's known it can connect.

Hopefully, this time, either Lu Tao or Lu Yunshang could grace us by picking up the call and shed light on this matter.

After ringing for a while, the call was finally answered.

"Hello, who is it?"

The voice was Lu Yunshang's; it's easy to recognize her voice, carrying a serene charm that was quite pleasant.

"Hello Sister Yunshang, it's me, Ling Zhenfei."

Lu Yunshang said, "It's you. Didn't I tell you not to call? The phone ringing all the time is bothering my father."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Sister Yunshang, I asked you for a cell phone but you wouldn't give me one, so I have to call on this phone. Is Elder Lu there? I have something very important to discuss with him."

Lu Yunshang said, "My father is teasing Chunyu right now, speaking to me works just as well."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Here's the thing, I found Elder Lu's old friend from twenty years ago, and want Elder Lu to reconnect."

Lu Yunshang was taken aback, "An old friend from twenty years ago? How did you find him?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry about that for now, just bring Elder Lu over."

Lu Yunshang said, "Okay, wait a moment."

After that, Lu Yunshang left. After a while, voices could be heard faintly over the phone, but it was too distant to make out clearly.

At this time, Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi moved closer, trying to hear what was being said inside.

"Hello, Zhenfei, what are you up to again?"

Elder Lu Tao's voice came out from the other end, although it was just one sentence, it made Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi's expressions suddenly become very excited.

Ling Zhenfei kept observing their expressions, trying to see if he could glean something from them.

Lu Tao is the last person who can shed light on this matter, so whatever Lu Tao says is crucial. If anyone lied earlier, they're surely very worried now.

But looking at both their expressions now, they seem pretty similar — mostly excited and shocked.

"That's Lu Tao's voice."

"Yes, I recognize that's Lu Tao's voice."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Elder Lu, it's like this: I've always been very interested in your stories. You once told me about what happened twenty years ago in the Foreign Land Space.

At the time, you mentioned two people, Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi. Do you remember them?"

Lu Tao snorted, "Why bring them up? I find even hearing their names disgusting."

Lu Tao's words shocked everyone; they simply didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Among them, the expressions on Hoshino Yuji and Watanabe Kazushi's faces were the worst, never anticipating that Ling Zhenfei would say such a thing, because they didn't think Lu Tao would judge them both the same way.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Elder, the situation now is such that I've already found these two for you."

Lu Tao was momentarily stunned: "Zhenfei, you sure are idle and bored. Why are you looking for them? Keep your distance from people like that, you don't need to lift a finger. Once I recover, I'll find them myself."

Everyone could sense the hostility in Lu Tao's words, seemingly tinged with a trace of hatred.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Elder, now's not about avenging them. First, we need to figure out what happened back then."

At this point, Hoshino Yuji couldn't hold back anymore. He walked to Ling Zhenfei's side and shouted into the phone, "Big Brother Lu, it's Hoshino Yuji! What do you mean by what you said earlier? Aren't you supposed to be looking for Watanabe Kazushi?"

Watanabe Kazushi, not to be outdone, also moved over.
