Chapter 104: You Let Us Go

Originally, this old woman's sinister and vicious nature was famous in the nearby villages; provoking her was equivalent to being haunted by a ghost, impossible to shake off no matter what.

But after this old woman received a phone call, her attitude suddenly underwent such a huge change, which left the onlookers somewhat puzzled—just how much power does Chen Yu actually have?

"Let you off? Sure, can you let Yun Yi off?" Chen Yu sneered.

"Let her off, I'll let her off." The old woman nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute in the slightest.

"But she has worked like a beast of burden in your home for so many years; it's a bit unreasonable for you to not give her any compensation at all," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"She still wants compensation? It's already quite generous of me to let her off. My son is dead; she should remain a widow for my son for the rest of her life," the old woman raged.

"Oh, alright then. In that case, your daughter-in-law and her husband can wait to go to jail, and your son can wait to jump off a building after owing a pile of debts," Chen Yu laughed.

"No, no, Boss Chen, we can talk this over." The old woman immediately lost her nerve. With a mournful face, she said, "Wu Yun, just say whatever you want."

"I... I don't want anything, I only ask that you let me go." Yun Yi wiped away her tears; her eyes were red.

Her personality was on the gentle side, and she was bound to suffer in a place like the countryside. As luck would have it, she encountered this old woman, and having long since lost contact with her own family, she had truly suffered to the bitter end all these years.

"That won't do. You have suffered so many grievances at that old woman's place for so many years; you cannot just leave like this," Chen Yu said coldly. "At the very least, the portion of the farmland that belongs to Yun Yi must be given to her. She was worked by you for so many years, wasting her youth—is one hundred thousand in compensation too much?"

"This, this..." The old woman hesitated; after all, asking her to pay money was like drawing her blood.

"Either you end up all alone, or you do as I say. You decide." Chen Yu said coldly, "I'll give you five minutes to consider. If it really doesn't work, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"Alright, alright, I promise you. I'll give it, I'll give it all." The old woman began to wail, "Why is my life so bitter?"

"Your life is bitter? Have some shame." Chen Yu glanced at the old woman with disgust. Does she not have any self-awareness of what kind of person she is?

Chen Yu found the village committee members and, in front of everyone, drafted an agreement. The old woman would provide the compensation she owed, and the relationship would be severed as it should be.

After pressing her thumbprint and holding the agreement, Yun Yi felt a sense of unreality. Ever since she married into this old woman's family in her twenties, the nightmare had never ceased. Twenty years had passed in a flash, and now that she was finally liberated, she found it hard to believe it was real.

The old woman grumbled and wanted to cause trouble, but one look from Chen Yu made her shrink her head, and she slunk away.

"Little Yu, you are truly amazing. This old woman is notoriously vicious in the surrounding villages and has fought everyone in the neighboring villages without meeting a rival. You subdued her the moment you took action today; you are really too impressive." Someone gave Chen Yu a thumbs-up.

"Just a small effort," Chen Yu said cheerfully. "Dad, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first. And Yun Yi, if you have time, you and my dad should go to Fengling and stay for a few days."

"Ah, this... that wouldn't be appropriate, would it?" Yun Yi's face flushed.

Although things had reached this point and she had basically confirmed her relationship with Chen Wenzhong, Chen Yu was, after all, Chen Wenzhong's son. Being addressed so directly by a junior, she really felt a bit embarrassed.

"Haha, Dad, you two go get your marriage certificate another day. Yun Yi, don't worry, from now on I will treat you as family. When you are old, I will provide for you and see you through to the end; nothing will be left out," Chen Yu said with firm resolve.

"Get lost, you brat." Chen Wenzhong also felt embarrassed.

Chen Yu chuckled and left the place with Song Mengyan.

"President Chen, how old is your father this year?" Song Mengyan asked on the way.

"He's nearly fifty. I was picked up by him; it wasn't easy for him to raise me through all that hardship," Chen Yu sighed and said. "If he can find his own happiness, then I truly want to bless him."

"Indeed, Uncle Chen has truly had it hard." Song Mengyan nodded with deep feeling.

"President Song, the path here is paved now. Go back and conduct a survey. For the pharmaceutical factories around Fengling, those we can cooperate with, we will cooperate; those we can't, we will acquire directly," Chen Yu smiled.

"Alright, I will go back and prepare a survey report." Song Mengyan nodded. "Is President Chen planning a major move?"

"Mm, that is a must." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "In the future, don't keep calling me 'President' all the time. In private, we are friends; just call me by my name."

"Then you shouldn't call me 'President Song' either." Song Mengyan smiled slightly. "We are both friends."

"Alright." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

After dropping Song Mengyan off at her company, Chen Yu intended to head home.

While passing through an expressway tunnel, a large pile of cars was blocked outside, with traffic police cars blocking the way; it seemed there had been a car accident inside.

Chen Yu jumped out of the car to understand the situation inside. It was a six-car pileup; the fire department was already inside rescuing people, and ambulances were still on the way.

"I am a doctor; I can save people," Chen Yu said to the traffic police officer blocking him.

"Then hurry in, there is a pregnant woman in a very serious condition." The traffic police officer hurriedly led Chen Yu inside.

The situation inside the tunnel was not very good. Several cars in the front had crashed together; the firefighters had already arrived, sawed open the cars, and laid the injured out one by one.

Glancing at the injured, none were hurt too severely. Chen Yu looked for a few moments and suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

Zhao Anran. Last time, when Ye Xinyu was drugged by her mother-in-law and nearly suffered a threatened miscarriage, it was she who provided the diagnosis. Now, she was dressed in casual clothes and was anxiously shouting, "The pregnant woman is having a difficult labor! Quick, I need someone to help!"

"Let me see." Chen Yu stepped forward, took off his coat, and helped the pregnant woman lie flat.

The pregnant woman's lower leg had been pierced by a foreign object and was bleeding incessantly. Zhao Anran was trying to stop the bleeding for her, but she had no tools with her, and the blood just wouldn't stop.

The pregnant woman, with a deathly pale face, shouted, "Save my child, save my husband!"

Chen Yu turned his head to look and saw a man in the driver's seat trapped inside the car, which had been crushed and deformed. Blood foam was bubbling from his mouth; he was already unconscious.

"Don't worry, he will be fine." Chen Yu took out his Silver Needle and pricked the area where the pregnant woman was bleeding several times in succession; the blood flow immediately slowed.

"Stop Bleeding Six Methods?" Zhao Anran looked up in surprise. Seeing Chen Yu, she blurted out, "It's you?"

"Save her." Chen Yu reached out and tapped the area where the pregnant woman was bleeding several times, completely stopping the blood. Then, he gripped the iron shard embedded in the pregnant woman's leg, sank his Internal Breath, and pulled the iron shard out.

"The fetus is in an abnormal position; she needs an induced labor, but there's no time to get to the operating room." Zhao Anran half-held the pregnant woman, letting her lie in her arms, and asked anxiously.

Chen Yu looked up and saw the pregnant woman's belly was highly distended and somewhat deformed; it looked like there was also a case of the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck.

"Lay her flat." Chen Yu helped the pregnant woman lie flat on the ground, then he closed his eyes and placed his hands on the displaced fetus.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Anran was taken aback.
