Chapter 178: Are You a Con Artist?

"A con artist?" Yan Roujin glanced at Liu Jiyuan and said, "Liu Jiyuan, I treat you as an older brother, but if you dare to speak about Chen Yu like that again, do you believe I will turn against you immediately?"

"Roujin..." Liu Jiyuan looked incredulous. He had a favorable impression of Yan Roujin and considered their relationship to be good, but he never expected her to speak to him like this for the sake of a Chen Yu.

"If you don't believe me, President Liu, there is nothing I can do, but I do have a way to treat your illness."

As Chen Yu spoke, he casually wrote down a prescription: "Illness arises from longing, and the Seven Emotions are the source of the injury. The so-called Seven Emotions are nothing more than joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, and shock. This prescription can resolve worry and thought, dispel sorrow, and clear the five evils. Take it for one week, and your angina will be basically cured."

"However, the root of President Liu's illness is longing. If that daughter who drifted into the civilian world can be found, it would be best; only then can the root of the illness be completely removed." Chen Yu put down the prescription: "Farewell."

"Please stay, Mr. Chen." Liu Chengye stood up abruptly. His lips twitched, and his hands trembled: "Please, sir, you must help me find my daughter. I will never forget this great kindness for the rest of my life."

"Father, do you really believe his nonsense?" Liu Jiyuan, standing to the side, grew anxious.

"Shut up, step back," Liu Chengye scolded.

"Yes... Father." Liu Jiyuan shrank his head and retreated dejectedly.

"Mr. Chen, please help me." Liu Chengye suddenly knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly: "After the child was gone, she disappeared. Later, I learned she had died suddenly due to longing for her deceased daughter. I felt guilty toward her, so I never remarried in this life."

"If this child is truly still in this world, I beg you to help me. This is the flesh and blood of her and me." Liu Chengye kowtowed heavily, unable to speak through his sobs.

"I will try, though it may not necessarily work." Seeing him cry like this, Chen Yu felt a touch of compassion: "I will go prepare. Let's make an appointment to meet again tomorrow night at midnight."

"Good, this is my business card. Thank you very much, Mr. Chen." Liu Chengye nodded.

"Chen Yu, do you really have a way to find his daughter? He hasn't even seen his own daughter once, you know." After they stepped outside, Yan Roujin looked at Chen Yu in confusion.

"I'll try my best. Liu Chengye's illness is a sickness of the heart. If his daughter is found, his condition might improve a little," Chen Yu said. "As for whether she can be found or not, that will have to be left to fate."

"Alright, Uncle Liu has helped me quite a bit in the past; he has resolved several of my funding pressures. If his daughter can be found, that would be best," Yan Roujin nodded and said.

"I'll think of a way. I'm missing a few things right now," Chen Yu thought for a moment and said: "I'll go look for them in a while."

"What things are you looking for? I'll go with you," Yan Roujin asked curiously.

"Haha, don't get involved in these things. I'm afraid you'll be so scared your legs will go weak when you see them," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Alright, if you have social engagements, go ahead. I'll wander around here for a while, and if there's nothing else, I'll head back."

"Alright then, contact me anytime if anything comes up. Chen Yu, you look really handsome in this outfit today." Yan Roujin giggled and turned to leave.

Chen Yu gave a wry smile. Yan Roujin was truly capable of being both salty and sweet; she could handle all sorts of roles.

The first time he met her, she appeared aloof and intimidating.

Later, she transformed into a powerful businesswoman, yet in front of him, she possessed such a seductive charm. Just how many personas does this woman have?

The banquet continued, and soothing music played in the hall. Chen Yu was truly unaccustomed to such occasions. Just as he intended to leave, he caught a glimpse of Xu Siying handing out her business cards everywhere.

Xu Siying was likely there to solicit business for the bank. Although Chen Yu didn't like her as a person, he had to admit that she was truly hardworking. Sometimes, one couldn't blame her for being materialistic; who told her to be born into an ordinary family?

Therefore, there were times when she had to fight for certain things, and through this back and forth, she could never return to her Initial Embrace.

"I am Xu Siying, from the bank. If you have any banking business, you are welcome to consult me." Xu Siying did not let any opportunity pass; she handed her business card to two young men.

"From the bank, huh? Young Master He, don't you happen to have a large sum of capital with nowhere to invest?" One of the young men glanced at the card and turned to say to his companion.

"Indeed, it's not much, probably just a few hundred million," the young man called Young Master He looked at Xu Siying, then aimed his gaze at her chest, appearing interested.

"Young Master He, is it? If you have idle capital, you can transfer it to our bank. I will provide you with high-quality wealth management services." Xu Siying was delighted; these two were clearly people who were not short on money.

If she could really get a few hundred million in funds, her performance would increase significantly, and her end-of-month bonus would be a substantial sum.

"That's good. Let's go to the second floor to chat and have a drink while we're at it. Miss Xu wouldn't refuse to give us face, would she?" Young Master He said with a chuckle.

"Of course not. It is my honor to have a drink with Young Master He." Xu Siying was overjoyed and, without a second thought, prepared to follow the two of them upstairs.

"Xu Siying." Chen Yu frowned, but he couldn't help but call out to her.

After all, these two didn't look like they had good intentions. Although he didn't like her, she was Ye Xinyu's best friend, and Chen Yu didn't want the previous incident to happen again.

"Chen Yu, you're here too." Seeing Chen Yu, Xu Siying couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Is there anything that can't be discussed here? Do you really have to go upstairs?" Chen Yu reminded her not to forget what happened last time.

"Young Master He is no ordinary person. It's too crowded and noisy downstairs; it's quieter in the private room upstairs," Xu Siying smiled.

"That's right, Miss Xu. Young Master He and I have a project worth hundreds of millions to discuss with you. How could we do that downstairs?" Young Master He's lackey said with a chuckle.

"Yes, yes, Young Master He, let's go." Xu Siying's face was filled with smiles, as if the hundreds of millions were already in her hands.

"You..." Chen Yu furrowed his brows. These two clearly had ill intentions; Xu Siying was truly blinded by the deposits. She couldn't see it at all.

"Kid, don't be a busybody." Young Master He frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Chen Yu, don't you hate me? I don't need you to manage my affairs." Xu Siying suddenly became angry.

"What do you mean by this?" Chen Yu was furious. Was she treating his good intentions like a donkey's lungs?

"I know you look down on me, but every cent I, Xu Siying, spend is earned through my own hard work. Regardless of what methods I use, I am willing to do it myself." Xu Siying vented her unhappiness.

"Besides, Young Master He looks like a legitimate businessman. People who come to high-end places like this aren't as dirty as you think."

"Are you coming or not?" Young Master He glanced at her: "Do you believe that with one phone call from me, bank business will be lining up to come to me?"

"Young Master He, let's go quickly." Xu Siying hurriedly put on a smiling face and followed the two of them to the second floor without looking back.
