Chapter 131: This Is the True Master

"How do I know if what you're saying is true?" Xue Yichuan looked at Chen Yu with some uncertainty.

"Press two inches below the left side of your chest and see if it stings," Chen Yu said indifferently.

Xue Yichuan hesitated for a moment, then pressed down as Chen Yu had instructed; a light press yielded no reaction.

"Use force," Chen Yu said.

He gritted his teeth and pressed down hard.

The moment he pressed down, his eyes widened abruptly and he gasped; the pain that pierced to his very bones nearly made him faint. He clutched his chest, panting for a long time, and the look he gave Chen Yu now held a trace of terror.

"Do you believe me now?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Is my illness curable?" The aura of a master that Xue Yichuan had been projecting was long gone, and he asked anxiously.

"Three Benefits Heart-Saving Decoction: it benefits heart Qi, supplements heart Yang, nourishes heart Yin, and promotes blood circulation to remove stasis. Take it every morning upon waking; you will be fully recovered in one year," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Master... I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Save me." With a thud, Xue Yichuan knelt down directly.

Zhang Jing was a bit stunned. Xue Yichuan—a man who had been on health programs, published books on wellness, and was revered as a Divine Doctor by certain leaders and wealthy individuals—had actually just knelt down like that.

"I've heard of you. You publish books on elderly care, appear on health programs, and even refine some kind of elixir, claiming it can prolong life?" Chen Yu said unhurriedly.

"That's all nonsense. The books were copied from Daoist texts, and the health programs were just me spouting nonsense. As for the medicine... it's just baked flour; it won't kill anyone. Master, save me!" Xue Yichuan pleaded bitterly.

Zhang Jing was dumbfounded. The image of Xue Yichuan as a master collapsed in her heart instantly. She truly hadn't known this guy was such a fraud.

"Here is the prescription. Take it and get out. If I ever see you swindling people again, I won't spare you." Chen Yu wrote down a prescription and tossed it out.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Master, thank you." Xue Yichuan took the prescription as if it were a priceless treasure and scurried away without looking back after thanking him.

"President Chen... I am truly sorry. My daughter works in the municipal committee office and is a bit arrogant and dismissive," Zhang Ziming apologized.

"It's fine. There isn't much time left. Let's go out quickly and ensure Yinyin's illness doesn't flare up again," Chen Yu said.

"Right, right. Why aren't you going out yet?" Zhang Ziming glared at his daughter.

Zhang Jing then seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly followed Zhang Ziming out.

After the two left, Chen Yu tapped Yinyin on the head. Yinyin closed her eyes, falling into a semi-conscious state.

Just then, a wisp of black Qi surged out from between her eyebrows.

This mass of black Qi let out a hiss and condensed into a strange face in mid-air, shrieking at Chen Yu as if threatening him not to meddle in other people's business.

"Get out," Chen Yu said in a cold, deep voice.

The black Qi's momentum weakened, and it trembled at Chen Yu's shout. However, it seemed unwilling to submit; it let out a squeak and charged at Chen Yu again.

Chen Yu formed a Dao Seal with his right hand, and a Paper Talisman ignited in his palm. With a boom, the mass of black Qi ignited instantly, as if it had encountered gasoline.

Surrounded by flames in mid-air, it let out incessant shrieks, rolling and changing shapes constantly. In less than half a minute, it was burned away completely.

This was the Spirit Body of an animal that had been abused to death by its owner. After being abused, its resentment condensed, and Yinyin had accidentally encountered it and been targeted, which was why she had exhibited those symptoms.

But it was fine now; Chen Yu had burned it into nothingness with a burst of True Fire.

With a flick of his right hand, the Spirit Body vanished completely before Chen Yu's eyes. Checking the time, it was exactly 8 o'clock, and Yinyin woke up at this moment.

Chen Yu removed the headgear from her head and smiled, "Yinyin, you won't need to wear these things anymore."

"Really? Thank you, Uncle." Yinyin smiled sweetly; she was very cute now that the Spirit Body had been eliminated.

"Yinyin, are you alright, Yinyin?" Zhang Ziming and Zhang Jing rushed in.

Because it was already 8 o'clock, Yinyin's illness would usually flare up at this time. They were worried, so they had been watching from outside.

Seeing that Yinyin was safe and sound, the two were overjoyed. Zhang Jing picked up Yinyin and said happily, "Yinyin, you're better! I'm your aunt."

"Hello, Aunt," Yinyin giggled, her natural spirit as a little girl fully on display.

"Dad, Yinyin is better. She's really better." Zhang Jing was truly overjoyed. Although she was a bit arrogant and dismissive, she truly cared for her niece.

"President Chen, thank you so much. You are the benefactor of our family," Zhang Ziming said gratefully.

"It's nothing, just a small effort. Please rest assured, Yinyin's illness will not flare up again," Chen Yu smiled.

"I'm sorry, President Chen. It was my fault just now; you are the true master," Zhang Jing apologized hurriedly.

"It's fine. There are plenty of people who use the guise of a master to swindle others nowadays. Xue Yichuan only makes contact with big shots, and these big shots happen to have guilty consciences, so it's normal for them to be deceived by him," Chen Yu said.

"I will definitely be careful in the future. Should I... should I warn our leaders?" Zhang Jing hesitated.

"Just say whatever they believe. In fact, sometimes it's not that they don't know the other party is a fraud, but rather that they treat these swindlers as their faith. Once that faith is broken, will your life be easy in the future?" Chen Yu said.

"I understand," Zhang Jing nodded and thanked Chen Yu again.

It was very late when he left Zhang Ziming's house. Chen Yu received a call from Datian: "Boss, I've found it. There is a counterfeit factory in a small village north of the city."

"Did you leave evidence?" Chen Yu's heart stirred. Datian's speed was impressive; he had found the problem with the Zhou Family in just a few hours.

"I did. If we hand it over, we can send Zhou Peng directly to Prison," Datian said.

"Good, come back," Chen Yu smiled slightly. The father and son of the Zhou Family would definitely be sent in, but the Mingshun Medical Hall chain was truly good; he had to get his hands on it.

He thought for a moment and called Ning Ruoxue: "Do you have any friends in the police station?"

"I do have one, someone I've known for a long time, in the Criminal Police Team," Ning Ruoxue asked, "What's wrong?"

"A great merit for him: a counterfeit traditional Chinese Medicine den. However, he must wait for my call before taking action," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"No problem. I'll tell him in a moment and send you his number," Ning Ruoxue said.

"Chen Yu, it's bad. Xinglinju is on fire, and Anran... she's been burned." Just as he was about to return, Zhao Lao called, his voice choked with sobs.

"What?" Chen Yu's expression changed drastically, and he turned and rushed into his car.

Xinglinju was an old residence, and most of its structure was wood, so the fire spread extremely fast. By the time Chen Yu arrived, Xinglinju had already become a ruin.
