Chapter 1841: Are You Awake Already?

In front of a lobby in the hotel, Chen Yu saw a recreational vehicle.

There were over ten bodyguards guarding the perimeter of this recreational vehicle; seeing the bulges at their waists, it was likely that every bodyguard was carrying a gun.

Zhang Yu was merely a vegetative patient, to put it bluntly, a useless person; no one would target Zhang Yu, but the fact that she had placed so many bodyguards at Zhang Yu's door was in itself problematic.

Chen Yu walked straight over, and a bodyguard stepped forward to block him: "Sorry, you cannot pass."

"This isn't a private area, why can't I pass?" Chen Yu asked in return.

"If you can't pass, you can't pass. Where does all this nonsense come from? Get going quickly, don't bring trouble upon yourself." A group of bodyguards instantly surrounded him.

They held batons in their hands, and some even had their hands pressed against the holsters hanging at their waists; they looked extremely vigilant, as if there were something very important inside the vehicle.

"Everyone, aren't you being a bit too nervous?" Chen Yu suddenly smiled, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed, and a faint gleam flashed in his eyes.

A faint gleam flashed in the eyes of everyone at the scene as well; they stared straight at Chen Yu, and for a moment, even moving was a luxury.

Chen Yu used the Soul-Capturing Method to control the consciousness of these people; after they finished their business, Chen Yu would wipe away what had just happened cleanly, and no one would ever know.

Chen Yu waved his hand, and these people suddenly dispersed, then continued to patrol the surroundings as they had before, but they turned a blind eye to Chen Yu and Tang Qing.

Tang Qing hurried over and walked onto the recreational vehicle with Chen Yu.

This recreational vehicle was custom-made, the interior decoration was extremely luxurious, and it was fully equipped with medical instruments, comparable to a small hospital.

Chen Yu walked into the cabin and saw a man lying on a hospital bed; this man was none other than Zhang Yu.

Because of a car accident, he had been lying here for more than ten years, but his nutritional status was quite good, and the muscles on his body had not atrophied, which showed that he was usually well cared for.

Chen Yu walked to his side and took a few looks, then his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Tang Qing saw that his expression was somewhat unusual and couldn't help but be slightly startled; she instinctively thought that Zhang Yu's illness could not be cured.

"Mr. Zhang is likely in a conscious state, there are no outsiders here, why not sit up and let us have a chat?" Chen Yu smiled faintly and sat to one side.

"He is awake? Impossible." Tang Qing was taken aback; she hurried to Zhang Yu's side and reached out to place her hand on his wrist.

Upon this touch, her expression also became strange; indeed, the situation inside Zhang Yu's body, the blood circulation, everything was smooth, but why was he lying here without moving at all?

"How is it? You've noticed it, right?" Chen Yu smiled: "President Zhang's blood is circulating and his mind is clear, but lying like this all the time must be uncomfortable, right?"

"I know you must have your reasons for doing this, but believe us, we are here to help you. If you sit up and chat, perhaps we can lead you out of your current predicament."

Chen Yu's words finally reached Zhang Yu; his eyelids twitched, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"Young man, how did you see at a glance that I was in a conscious state?" Zhang Yu looked at Chen Yu.

"Observation of Qi and Observation Diagnosis are not difficult things in themselves." Chen Yu laughed: "As for President Zhang, keeping your eyes closed and pretending to sleep all this time must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"President Zhang, my grandfather and I examined you a few years ago. At that time, your Qi vessels were locked, and you were indeed in a vegetative state. How did you get better?" Tang Qing said.

"You are Tang Lao's granddaughter, right?" Zhang Yu looked at Tang Qing and nodded slightly: "I have heard of you. When you treated me back then, I was indeed in a coma, but I knew everything that happened around me."

"My consciousness has actually always been wandering within three meters of my body as a third party, so I know everything that happens around me," Zhang Yu said.

"Dissociation," Chen Yu said: "A state in medicine. After a person becomes a vegetative patient, they are usually in a deep sleep, but there are exceptions, which is the case with President Zhang."

"Your consciousness floats in mid-air as a third party; it wants to leave, but is locked by the Qi mechanism around you, so it has no way to leave. This forms a state of dissociation."

"You can understand it as your Spirit always hovering around you, but unable to leave you, so you are clearly aware of everything happening around you," Chen Yu said.

"Understood." Zhang Yu nodded, and then he stretched his body: "I actually only woke up not long ago, but during the time I was asleep, I knew what kind of person Li Tangyan was."

"So even now that I am awake, I cannot let her know."

"President Zhang is a genius in the business world; before your accident, many people thought highly of you. It's a pity." Chen Yu shook his head slowly: "If your company were under your leadership, perhaps it would be better."

"I dare not say it would be better than it is now, but at least... the company would still be my company." Zhang Yu straightened his body, a trace of sadness on his face.

"At least I wouldn't have to pretend to be a vegetative patient and stay asleep, at least I would still have control over the company."

"President Zhang, after you woke up... have you never thought about trying to change all of this?" Tang Qing asked tentatively.

In fact, she knew clearly in her heart that it was not that Zhang Yu did not try to change all of this, but that he was powerless against it.

Because in the years he was asleep, Li Tangyan had completely taken control of the company's overall situation. Now, even if he wanted to change something, he was willing but unable.

After all, Li Tangyan had managed the company for more than ten years; it was impossible for her to easily give up the power in her hands.

"It's not that I don't want to change all of this, but that I am completely powerless to face all of this." Zhang Yu shook his head slightly and said: "It's been more than ten years, she has already controlled everything in the company."

"And during my sleep, I heard her conversations and learned that she is an extremely ambitious woman. She is very eager for power, and she is bound to control everything."

"And me? What do I have now? I have nothing." Zhang Yu raised his head and muttered: "The company is an empire I spent twenty years building. Unfortunately, it was snatched away by a woman."

"Then are you reconciled to this now?" Chen Yu asked.

"Of course not, but even if I'm not reconciled, what can I do?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile, and he muttered: "She holds the power of the company now, I have no possibility of fighting her at all."

"Then you are just admitting defeat like this?" Chen Yu smiled slightly: "You had the courage to start such a large company; I don't think you are someone who admits defeat easily."
