Chapter 1799: I Was Just Testing You

"It was just to test you a little, looking at your expression, tsk tsk, as if you were terrified I'd cling to you."

"I'm not afraid of that." Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It's just that if you follow me, you'll ruin many of my affairs, so please, just be kind and let me go, okay?"

"Fine, I'll let you off the hook." Chuan Naizi waved her hand: "You go, we won't be seeing each other again anyway."

"I wish you happiness every day." Chen Yu waved his hand and walked into the airport without looking back.

He just didn't see Chuan Naizi behind him, tears streaming from her eyes.

He picked up his boarding pass and went to the waiting lounge to wait for his flight.

It would take seven or eight hours to fly from here to his destination, so Chen Yu chose first class. The ticket was quite expensive, but at Chen Yu's level, he considered time cost rather than monetary cost.

After eating something in first class and casually grabbing a magazine to glance at, a burly foreign man walked over with a group of bodyguards in suits and leather shoes.

"Everyone, get out." A bodyguard shouted at everyone in the waiting lounge.

There weren't many people in the lounge to begin with, but those who could afford first class, and on such an expensive flight, were no ordinary people.

One man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped forward to reason with them, but a bodyguard reached out and stopped him.

"What right do you have to make us leave? You..."

The man in gold-rimmed glasses tried to reason with the other party, but when he caught sight of a skull tattoo on the wrist of the bodyguard gripping his collar, he swallowed the second half of his sentence back into his stomach.

Red Skull is a taboo topic in the Western World; they control over seventy percent of the underground world in the Western World, and their operations—drug trafficking, smuggling, kidnapping, and assassination—are almost everywhere.

"Get lost." The bodyguard stared at the man in glasses: "General An'er is traveling today, irrelevant people get out."

"Yes, I'm leaving, I'm sorry, my apologies, I'll leave right away." The man lost his nerve; he bowed in apology while backing away, then fled in a state of terror.

Chen Yu glanced at this so-called An'er. He knew this guy; he was at the same level as Ye Er, whom he had known before. But he was different from Ye Er; not only was he a warlord, but he was also the largest local criminal force. The territory he occupied was incredibly prosperous, and he was one of the three leaders of Red Skull, a very vicious man.

Chen Yu didn't want to clash with this guy for the time being, so he stood up and walked toward the exit.

But just at this moment, An'er pointed at Chen Yu and said a few words in a foreign language.

"You, that kid, stop, General An'er wants you to stay." A bodyguard pointed at Chen Yu, and someone immediately intercepted him.

Chen Yu turned his head to glance at An'er and gave him a slight nod.

An'er smiled slightly and asked in stiff Huaxia: "This gentleman, are you a local of Fusang?"

"I am not, I am from Huaxia." Chen Yu replied.

"Huaxia? It seems it is just as I expected." An'er nodded: "Is the gentleman traveling to the Western World?"

"On business." Chen Yu replied indifferently.

"Bastard, what kind of attitude is that?" A bodyguard was furious; Chen Yu's cold and indifferent attitude had angered him.

One must know that this is An'er, one of the three leaders of Red Skull, who occupies one-third of the territory in Yizhou.

This guy couldn't be called purely evil, but he definitely couldn't be considered a good person either. He did things entirely according to his own whims, but Chen Yu speaking to him with such an attitude made his subordinates very unhappy.

"Step back, there is nothing for you here." An'er frowned slightly, scaring his subordinates into retreating.

That bodyguard gave Chen Yu a warning look, then stepped back.

"These people are my subordinates; they are just worried about my safety. If there was any offense, my apologies." An'er said politely to Chen Yu.

"It is of no concern. After all, as one of the three leaders of Red Skull, it is normal for your subordinates to be nervous for you." Chen Yu smiled faintly. He glanced at An'er: "But there is no need for you to be so polite to me, sir."

"You know my identity?" An'er was startled; he couldn't help but look up at Chen Yu.

"The tattoo on your subordinate's body has already explained everything, so there is nothing to be surprised about." Chen Yu smiled: "As one of the top underground organizations in the Western World, Red Skull's power already surpasses that of certain regimes in the Western World."

"It's just that unlike the other two, in the region you govern, ordinary people still have a glimmer of life, whereas the other two are different; in their jurisdictions, one could say not a blade of grass grows."

"I believe in Buddhism." An'er smiled slightly and took out a string of Buddhist Beads: "So, I have a relatively high degree of tolerance for the citizens in my jurisdiction."

"I have also always felt that all living beings are equal; although people's backgrounds differ, everyone is the same when it comes to birth, aging, sickness, and death."

"Having such an awakening is actually quite good." Chen Yu nodded: "Although your hands are stained with blood, compared to the other two, you are considered better. Otherwise, your cancer should have flared up several years ago."

"How did you know I have cancer?" An'er was startled; his hand counting the Buddhist Beads stopped involuntarily.

He raised his head and looked at Chen Yu in shock.

Yes, he had cancer, and this time he was going for chemotherapy, then transferring flights here on his way back.

His illness had indeed dragged on for several years. Several years ago, a doctor had announced he would live at most half a year, but from that time on, he believed the words of a monk and began to believe in Buddhism, living one life at a time.

So he miraculously lived until now, but the pain he endured in his body tortured him every moment.

He also believed in Buddhist cultivation, and a high monk had told him that he would meet a noble person from Huaxia, and this noble person could cure his illness.

That was why he had let Chen Yu stay when he came in to clear the area just now, because he wanted to treat every Huaxia person well; perhaps one of them would be his noble person, the one who could cure his illness and save his life.

When Chen Yu stated that he had a terminal illness in one sentence, he suddenly realized that this unremarkable young man before him might be the noble person he had been desperately searching for all along?

"I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine; it is not surprising that I can see you have a terminal illness." Chen Yu said indifferently: "Your illness started from the lungs. Western Medicine once suggested you remove a large part of your lung, but you did not listen and chose conservative treatment instead."

"If I had the surgery, my body would have been ruined. I went to Huaxia, and an old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor there suggested I choose conservative treatment, so I followed his advice."
