Chapter 185: Keep Your Nephew in Line

~7 min read 1,342 words

Half an hour later, Li Zhongyi arrived. By this time, Li He was kneeling on the ground, unable to keep his balance. Seeing Li Zhongyi, he shrieked, "Uncle, save me! My arm was broken by this brat. Hurry and save me!"

"Chen Yu, how did my nephew provoke you, that you would strike such a ruthless blow? Why did you break his arm?"

Seeing his nephew's arm twisted and deformed like a dough twist, he was truly enraged.

Although Xie Wuji, the head of their Thirteen Taibao, treated Chen Yu unusually well and had protected Chen Yu at the Xuanwu Tea House last time, he himself had no children. This nephew was the one he cherished most. Now that his nephew had been beaten like this by Chen Yu, how could he not be angry?

"I hit your nephew, I'll pay for it, is that okay?" Chen Yu pulled out a stack of money and slapped it onto Li He's face.

"What exactly is going on?" Li Zhongyi glared at Li He. He knew Chen Yu would not easily strike to injure someone, but since he had, there must be a reason.

He was unwilling to come into conflict with Chen Yu. Firstly, because Xie Wuji always stood on Chen Yu's side, and secondly, Chen Yu's own strength was also very high. Even though he was at the peak of the Martial Truth Realm, if he really faced Chen Yu, he might not necessarily have the odds of winning.

"I lost my wallet and was teaching the waiter a lesson. I was in the wrong, but I paid for it!" Li He said, trembling.

"That's right, I hit you, I was also in the wrong, and I also paid for it. Is there any problem with that?" Chen Yu retorted.

"He is just a lowly waiter, with a salary of a few thousand a month. Isn't it enough that I pay him a month's salary?" Li He said angrily.

"In my eyes, you are also just a lowly Martial Master Realm martial artist. I hit you, and I also paid you money. Is there any problem with that?" Chen Yu asked back, "If it's not enough, I'll double it."

As Chen Yu spoke, he took out another stack of money and slapped it onto his face: "Is it enough? If not, should I add more?"

"Uncle, he is too arrogant. You must avenge me! Wuu wuu, he didn't even put you in his eyes." Li He began to complain, crying with snot and tears.

"Look, is this the nephew you raised?" Chen Yu glanced at the livid Li Zhongyi.

"Chen Yu, I admit he was wrong, but isn't your hand too ruthless?" Li Zhongyi said angrily, "Do you really think I, Li Zhongyi, am afraid of you?"

"That's not it. My way of handling problems is just like this. If you aren't convinced, we can spar," Chen Yu sneered.

"You..." Li Zhongyi was furious. He clenched his fists tightly, truly wanting to tear off the mask and have a fight with Chen Yu.

"Uncle, look, he didn't even put you in his eyes. You are one of the Thirteen Taibao! Uncle, if you don't give him a taste of your power today, no one in the jianghu will put you in their eyes in the future," Li He instigated.

"Shut up." Li Zhongyi's tightly clenched fist suddenly transformed into a slap, which landed on Li He's face.

"Uncle... you, what are you doing?" Li He was stunned. Only now did he realize that Li Zhongyi wasn't refusing to act, but didn't dare to.

His hands couldn't help but tremble. His uncle, Li Zhongyi, was one of the Thirteen Taibao and had a high status in the jianghu, so why was he so afraid of Chen Yu? Who exactly was Chen Yu?

"Get lost back there. If you dare to act recklessly under my name again, I will break your legs myself," Li Zhongyi barked.

"Uncle, I understand. I won't dare to do it again," Li He said with a mournful face. He finally gave up; it seemed Li Zhongyi really didn't dare to go against Chen Yu.

"Get lost." Li Zhongyi sent him flying with a punch, then flicked his sleeves and left.

Li He lay on the ground for a long time before he reacted. He struggled to crawl up and then slunk away.

"Thank you, Brother Yu." Xiao Mu walked over and bowed.

"It's nothing, just a small effort." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Xiao Mu, you must remember, you are currently on probation, you absolutely cannot have anything happen," Ning Ruoxue said.

"I know, Sister Xue. Even if someone were to slap me in the face right now, I wouldn't fight back," Xiao Mu nodded.

"Chen Yu." Someone called from behind.

Chen Yu turned his head to look, and it was Yan Roujin.

"Why did you come?" Chen Yu was stunned.

"I came specifically to find you." Yan Roujin smiled slightly.

"How did you know I was here?" Chen Yu was puzzled.

"I found you by smelling the scent on your body," Yan Roujin had an 'I've got you' expression, "Aren't we going to Uncle Liu's house tonight? I'll go with you."

"That's fine." Chen Yu nodded, "I've already prepared the things, but it won't be ready until after midnight."

"Lawyer Ning, you're here too," Yan Roujin smiled.

"Hello, President Yan." Ning Ruoxue smiled slightly.

"Do you two know each other?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

"Lawyer Yan's law firm is taking on all the legal matters for our Qingyan. We signed the Contract the day before yesterday, and we hit it off immediately," Yan Roujin smiled slightly.

"The day after tomorrow, we are signing a contract with Tianyun Pharmaceutical. In the future, all legal issues for Tianyun Pharmaceutical and the Xinglinju brand stores will be handled by me," Ning Ruoxue said with a faint smile.

"Good, good. I'm relieved to leave these to you." Chen Yu nodded. Indeed, as the company grew larger, it faced more and more legal issues. With Ning Ruoxue keeping watch, he was relieved.

"Alright, you two go do your work, we'll see each other later," Ning Ruoxue smiled.

"Let's go." Yan Roujin smiled, "You owe me a dinner, and I'm hungry now." Yan Roujin giggled.

"Let's go, my treat. Ruoxue, want to come?" Chen Yu asked.

"No sincerity. Invite me separately another day." Ning Ruoxue glared at Chen Yu, then said to Yan Roujin, "I won't disturb you this time, but next time is mine."

"OK, no problem." Yan Roujin laughed.

"Are you very close with her?" After leaving, Chen Yu asked Yan Roujin. He felt the relationship between the two women and him was quite strange; had she and Ning Ruoxue formed an alliance?

"Close, yes. I even know that she's decided to stick with you for the rest of her life," Yan Roujin giggled.

"Then you two..." Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'd like to stick with you too, but don't worry, I won't force you. After all, you're a married man and have such a good relationship with your wife," Yan Roujin said with a laugh.

"What do you want to eat?" Chen Yu gave a bitter smile.

"You're the one treating, so you decide," Yan Roujin said.

"Alright, I know a place. The environment is average, but the taste is good." Chen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Then that's it, let's go." Yan Roujin nodded.

After getting out of the car, Chen Yu was about to go to the restaurant with Yan Roujin when suddenly, through the glass wall, he caught a glimpse of Ye Xinyu sitting with a strange man in a couple's restaurant across the street.

"Your wife?" Seeing Chen Yu's expression, Yan Roujin said, "Maybe they're discussing business. Don't overthink it."

"I'll go take a look." Chen Yu's brow furrowed. He wasn't worried that Ye Xinyu would betray him; he was worried that she was being deceived by someone else.
