Chapter 126: You Cannot Leave

~7 min read 1,394 words

"Really, Mr. Chen? That is wonderful." Lin Kaicheng and his wife both held their breath, their faces filled with irrepressible joy.

"This medicine is for stabilizing the fetus and nourishing the spirit, replenishing blood and benefiting Qi. Take it once every three days, and I guarantee the two children will be healthy and strong." As Chen Yu spoke, he took out two more talismans and placed them into a Brocade Pouch: "This is a greeting gift for the unborn children. Wearing them on their bodies will ensure their safety and keep all evil at bay."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Lin Kaicheng hurriedly accepted them, then hesitated and said, "Actually, there is one more thing I would like to trouble you with."

"Go ahead," Chen Yu nodded.

"I have three comrades-in-arms who retired after being wounded. The files of the squad I was in are all S-level, so they cannot disclose their retired status now, but they have grown accustomed to the life of battle. If Mr. Chen could heal their injuries, they would follow you from now on. I think they would be better than ordinary bodyguards."

"Very well, take me to see them," Chen Yu nodded.

At a factory in the suburbs of Fengling, Chen Yu met the three men. Chen Yu was initially surprised as to why the three were living here, but after seeing them, he understood.

The three men carried a heavy aura of violence, as if they had just emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Their gazes were like sharp arrows, capable of making one feel a chill in their heart.

"This is Shanying, this is Datian, and this is Zhanhun." Lin Kaicheng pointed at Chen Yu and said, "Listen up, you lot. This is Chen Yu. From this moment on, he is your boss. You must obey him in everything; this is an order."

"Yes, Captain!" The three stood straight as boards.

"Captain, I don't want to leave," Datian said.

"I don't want you to leave either. I know you are suffering inside, but I cannot leave you to your own devices. You have been through life and death with me; to suddenly make you live an ordinary life now would be extremely unfair to you."

Lin Kaicheng said in a deep voice, "But I have no way to keep you in the team. Follow Mr. Chen; he will heal your injuries, and I guarantee you will not regret following him."

The three remained in Silence, standing like iron towers. Their duty was to obey, and despite having ten thousand reasons to be reluctant, they still had to listen to Lin Kaicheng.

"Are you Zhanhun?" Chen Yu looked at the small man. His arms were stiff and motionless; he was injured.

"Yes," the small man nodded.

"Your hands were injured by an expert using the Bone-Dislocating Hand. They cannot move because the meridians are knotted, so the pain is something an ordinary person could hardly endure. Yet, from beginning to end, your expression has remained normal, without a hint of pain. Not bad, you are a real man." Chen Yu nodded.

"I am a man; I cannot lose a man's soul," Zhanhun grinned.

"Good." Chen Yu nodded. Suddenly, he stretched out his hands, grabbed Zhanhun's arms, and gave them a slight pull and twist. *Crack, crack! *

The intense pain made Zhanhun clench his teeth, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, but he did not let out a single cry of pain.

"Not bad, you are a man. Your hands were injured by an expert. To heal them, one must use True Qi to forcibly reverse the meridians, causing the knotted meridians to branch out and spread again. The process is extremely painful, yet you were able to endure it." Chen Yu nodded in approval.

"My hands..." Zhanhun looked at his arms in disbelief. His arms moved slightly, and then he increased the range of motion. The arms that previously caused bone-deep pain with the slightest movement were now able to move freely.

"The one who injured you was an expert. Do not lift heavy objects for a week; they will heal on their own after a week," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Many thanks, Mr. Chen." Zhanhun cupped his hands toward Chen Yu.

Subsequently, Shanying's hidden poison and Datian's internal injuries were all healed by Chen Yu using powerful methods. The three were very strong, and with Lin Kaicheng there, they held absolute loyalty toward Chen Yu. He finally had some powerful helpers here.

After handling these matters, Chen Yu headed back, but before he reached home, he was called away by a phone call from Ning Ruoxue.

In a couple's private room, with a view of the river, candles, and red wine, Ning Ruoxue wore a light blue trench coat and a sequined mesh skirt, embodying both elegance and beauty. Even though it was not their first time meeting, Chen Yu was left staring blankly.

"Am I pretty today?" Ning Ruoxue smiled faintly.

"Pretty," Chen Yu answered honestly.

"Do you like it?" Ning Ruoxue opened her arms and spun around, appearing even more graceful and charming.

Chen Yu was left between laughter and tears: "As it happens, I have something to ask you too."

"If you didn't have something to ask, you wouldn't have planned to come out?" Ning Ruoxue bit her lip, looking somewhat resentful.

"Of course not." Chen Yu gave a wry smile: "I have several companies now, but I lack a professional legal team."

"So, you thought of me?" Ning Ruoxue glanced at Chen Yu and huffed.

"It would be great if you could establish a law firm," Chen Yu laughed: "I will hand over all the legal affairs of my companies to you. I certainly won't treat you poorly when the time comes."

"Chen Yu, I'm afraid you don't understand one thing," Ning Ruoxue giggled.

"What?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

"I want nothing, and I will do nothing. For the rest of my life, I will display my greatest charm before your eyes, making you willingly fall onto my bed." Ning Ruoxue rested her chin on her hands and smiled sweetly.

"Why must you be like this?" Chen Yu was speechless.

"I have already submitted the application for the law firm; it will be established next week. Furthermore, for your Jiyun Group, Tianyun Pharmaceutical, the stake in Qingyan, the upcoming Qingyan Health, and including the Jiye Club, all legal issues are here."

"I have already organized and refined them. In the future, I will conduct research based on all these issues to avoid legal risks."

"You've already done this?" Chen Yu was stunned.

"Of course. A woman who understands you naturally knows what you need," Ning Ruoxue smiled faintly.

"Thank you so much." Chen Yu was suddenly moved. This woman had decided to silently dedicate her life to him.

"Thanking me? Then offer yourself to me," Ning Ruoxue teased Chen Yu without reservation.

"Ning Ruoxue, so you really are here." Just then, the door opened, and a slouching young man walked in.

"Lawyer Liu?" Ning Ruoxue was slightly taken aback. This was Liu Dong, the son of her former law firm boss, who was also a lawyer.

"I heard you're going solo?" Liu Dong didn't bother with greetings; he walked in, sat down, and lit a cigar.

"You got the news so quickly?" Ning Ruoxue smiled.

"That goes without saying. You are one of the rare gold-medal lawyers in Fengling. There isn't a case you can't win. You even managed to overturn this ironclad case of Chen Yu's; truly impressive."

"It was just luck," Ning Ruoxue smiled bitterly.

"But you forgot, didn't you? You signed a document when you joined Jinning Law Firm." Liu Dong took a document out of his briefcase and placed it on the table: "You remember this document, don't you?"

"I remember," Ning Ruoxue nodded: "If I resign from Jinning Law Firm, I cannot hold a position above director at any law firm or establish my own law firm within three years."

"And your Beijing Law Firm is about to be established, and you even poached people from our firm. This counts as a breach of contract." Liu Dong slammed the document in his hand onto the table and sneered: "You are going to have to pay us the breach-of-contract penalty."
