Chapter 1593: You Saved Him

~7 min read 1,233 words

"It's actually fine; I've seen this kind of situation many times before." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Besides, if you hadn't appeared just now, this guy probably wouldn't have had a very good time."

Yes, if Chuan Naizi hadn't appeared in time just now, this guy would probably be dead by now; Chen Yu naturally had ways to make him die in an inexplicable manner.

Therefore, Chuan Naizi's appearance saved this guy's life.

"Are these people all your friends?" Chuan Naizi looked at Xin'er and Wu Bo and asked.

"Yes, they are all my friends." Chen Yu nodded slightly and introduced them: "Xin'er, Wu Bo."

"Hello, I am Chuan Naizi." Chuan Naizi reached out her hand in a friendly manner to shake hands with Xin'er, but when she extended her hand toward Wu Bo, she was given the cold shoulder.

"An old man's hands are rough; I'm afraid I'll dirty your hands, so there's no need for a handshake. Besides, my place is dark and small, and it's stifling to stay here for long, so you should leave early, right?" Wu Bo said indifferently.

Chuan Naizi was slightly stunned. From Wu Bo's expression, she could tell that Wu Bo held hostility toward her, but she didn't mind. She withdrew her hand and smiled: "Please rest assured, Wu Bo, I will give instructions so that those people won't come here to cause trouble again in the future."

Wu Bo snorted and turned to leave. Although he had lived in Fusang for a long time, and although Chuan Naizi was full of goodwill toward him, Wu Bo still held great prejudice against her; after all, matters between nations are not something everyone can just let go of.

"Wu Bo, I'll be leaving first then; I'll come back later." Chen Yu smiled. He hadn't realized Wu Bo had such a stubborn temper.

"Next time you come, don't bring this woman along again." Wu Bo's voice came from inside, using a dialect that Chuan Naizi couldn't quite understand.

"Alright, I understand." Chen Yu nodded. He turned his head and said to Chuan Naizi: "Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Okay." Chuan Naizi nodded and walked out with Chen Yu.

"This old man holds quite a lot of hostility toward me." After stepping outside, Chuan Naizi looked back.

"In Chinatown, you should encounter this kind of situation often, right?" Chen Yu said with a chuckle: "This isn't the first time you've encountered this, and it certainly won't be the last."

"That's true. Many of you Huaxia people still hold hostility toward us." Chuan Naizi nodded slightly and said: "It's just that this old man has lived here for so many years, yet the hatred still hasn't faded."

"His ancestors all came from that era of war, so the older generation is like this; national hatred is hard to erase." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "Why did you come?"

"I received a notice from above that a spy infiltrated one of our companies here to steal important intelligence, and he is from your Huaxia." Chuan Naizi said: "He was stabbed, and then he escaped. According to my guess, there is a high probability he would flee to this Chinatown area."

"Oh, I see." Chen Yu suddenly realized. He nodded and said: "Then you really must investigate thoroughly. If you have any unspeakable dealings that get exposed, that wouldn't be very good."

There was a hint of mockery in Chen Yu's words, and Chuan Naizi was immediately somewhat displeased. She frowned and said: "Chen Yu-kun, you still hold quite a large prejudice against us."

"Not at all, I was just joking. It's just that our cultures differ, so you might feel I'm mocking you when I joke." Chen Yu said with a straight face.

Chuan Naizi stared at Chen Yu and finally burst into a laugh: "Fine, I'll take it that what you said is true. I won't pursue your rude behavior."

"That company of yours must have quite a lot of power to be able to make your local police mobilize on such a large scale?" Chen Yu said: "The background must not be simple."

"Yes, it's a famous local biological company, mainly engaged in some biotechnology research." Chuan Naizi said: "They have a branch in your Huaxia."

"Then that local company of yours must have committed some offense in our Huaxia, otherwise our people wouldn't be so idle as to run over here to steal intelligence." Chen Yu said.

"This is a legitimate company." Chuan Naizi's brows furrowed.

"Alright, whatever you say." Chen Yu smiled: "It's so late, aren't you going to rest?"

"If the Heart-Eating Ghost matter isn't resolved, I can't sleep." Chuan Naizi sighed slightly and said: "This thing is still committing crimes, and the frequency is increasing day by day. Not only our own people, but even your compatriots in Chinatown have had several victims in the past few days."

"So what are you trying to express?" Chen Yu asked.

"Help us, and you'll also be helping your own compatriots." Chuan Naizi looked at Chen Yu.

"If I encounter it, I won't sit idly by." Chen Yu said indifferently: "But you've seen the current situation; there isn't just one Heart-Eating Ghost. The one manipulating things from behind is the big boss. If we want to solve this matter, we must find the one controlling it from behind."

"Then you must help me too." Chuan Naizi said earnestly.

"With so many Divine Officials in your Fusang, what are they all doing?" Chen Yu sneered: "Are they all just looking out for themselves?"

"They don't deal with us ordinary people unless the safety of the nation is threatened; they only focus on cultivation in their daily lives." Chuan Naizi said: "Not every country is like your Huaxia, possessing such a massive organization as Dragon Breath."

"You've actually heard of Dragon Breath?" Chen Yu looked at Chuan Naizi with some surprise.

"Yes, ordinary people certainly wouldn't have heard of it, but my family has had contact with such matters, so I do know a little about Dragon Breath." Chuan Naizi smiled slightly, then looked at Chen Yu with some confusion: "You wouldn't happen to have any connection to Dragon Breath, would you?"

"How could that be?" Chen Yu gave a dry laugh: "Is it that in your eyes, anyone who understands a little bit of Huaxia Metaphysics is from Dragon Breath? Dragon Breath isn't that easy to get into; I'm not qualified yet."

"Even with your strength, you aren't qualified to enter Dragon Breath?" Chuan Naizi was stunned. She looked at Chen Yu in disbelief: "Then just how high are the requirements for Dragon Breath?"

"Dragon Breath isn't something you can enter just because you are strong." Chen Yu shook his head: "Character and conduct must all undergo strict assessment."

"It seems you know quite a lot about Dragon Breath. If you tell me you have no connection to them, do you think I'll believe it?" Chuan Naizi looked up at Chen Yu.

"Believe it or not." Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat." Chuan Naizi smiled slightly and didn't press the matter; regarding some things, it's better for everyone to maintain a bit of mystery.

"I've just eaten." Chen Yu hesitated for a moment. Yes, he had just eaten Northeastern cuisine and was still very full.
