Chapter 1921: We Can Trade

If Chen Yu could truly cure him, he would undoubtedly be her savior.

"No conditions whatsoever." Chen Yu shook his head.

"Really?" Ximeng looked at Chen Yu suspiciously: "You should still set a condition; otherwise, I will feel that you aren't putting your heart into the treatment."

"I think you've misunderstood. The reason I have no conditions isn't because I truly don't have any, but because I never intended to help you treat him in the first place." Chen Yu glanced at Ximeng.

"Why?" A flicker of anger flared in Ximeng's eyes.

"No reason. Because I have no reason to help you." Chen Yu spread his hands: "Do you think I have a reason to help you?"

"But you clearly have the ability to save him, why won't you? He is very smart, he is a genius. If you cure him, there will be one more genius in this world. Why won't you do it?"

Ximeng practically roared it out; it was clear she was extremely furious.

To cure her son, she had tried every method, but nothing could make her son a normal person.

But now that she learned from Chen Yu that he had the ability to cure her son's illness, she saw hope in an instant.

Yet Chen Yu seemed to have no intention of helping her, which caused her mood to plummet to freezing point instantly.

"Whether he is a genius or not has nothing to do with me, right? He is just your son. A fool in the eyes of others is only a genius in your own eyes."

Chen Yu mocked her mercilessly: "I won't help you because our positions are different."

"I can tell you responsibly that I could cure your son's illness in five minutes, making him just like a normal person, but what is my reason for acting?"

"Whatever you want, I can satisfy you." Ximeng steadied herself; this was an opportunity, and she had to grasp it firmly.

"What I need, you cannot give. Even if you could, I wouldn't need it." Chen Yu said leisurely.

"Why don't you need it?" Ximeng roared: "We clearly can give you the same things, why?"

"Huaxia has an old saying: those with different Daos cannot make plans together." Chen Yu laughed: "I don't think our ideas are very like-minded, so I refuse to cooperate with you."

"Are you targeting me?" Ximeng raised her eyes, staring at Chen Yu.

"No, you must not misunderstand. I am truly not targeting you. I am actually..." Chen Yu said, leaning in close to her, and said leisurely: "targeting your entire Roy Family."

"You..." Ximeng opened her eyes wide, and she said angrily: "Are you trying to make an enemy of our entire Roy Family?"

"If you think so, then so be it." Chen Yu spread his hands, looking indifferent: "Anyway, in my eyes, your entire Roy Family is trash."

"For the sake of your arms business, you didn't hesitate to start several world wars. You constantly manufacture war, and every war, regardless of scale, results in many, many deaths."

"So..." Chen Yu's tone suddenly became sharp: "You deserve to die."

"We have Strategic Weapons, and our presence is in every major battlefield across the globe. Are you really not afraid of us at all?" Ximeng's voice even began to tremble.

"Heh, Strategic Weapons—do you really dare to use that stuff?" Chen Yu sneered: "I admit, that thing can indeed cause me a certain amount of damage."

"But if I truly forced you to use such a weapon, it would mean you have reached the point of a cornered dog jumping over a wall." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"That is a mutually destructive tactic, but I can tell you that that thing cannot kill me; it would only leave me severely injured. But your entire Roy Family would be wiped out."

"Think about it: what kind of disagreement is worth betting the fate of your entire family on? Is it worth it? I don't think it's worth it."

Ximeng's face turned blue with anger. Yes, without Chen Yu even saying it, she herself felt it wasn't worth it.

After all, she was just a daughter who had married out, and sometimes she could not fully represent the Roy Family.

But Chen Yu was not wrong at all; if they really had to use that thing, it would certainly be at the moment of life and death for the Roy Family.

What kind of dispute would be worth them using such a thing to perish together? She felt there was nothing that would make the Head of Family agree to such a desperate fight.

"Today, it was you who strongly requested that I come to see your 'lovely' son." Chen Yu said: "Perhaps he is indeed quite lovely in your eyes, but forgive me for speaking bluntly: everyone except you would find him disgusting."

"He... is nothing more than a monster from a failed abortion, and all of this is because of you."

Every one of Chen Yu's words was attacking Ximeng. Her face gradually turned blue; it was hideous and terrifying, with almost no color left.

"Chen Yu... you will regret what you have done." Ximeng hissed.

"Haha, I have never regretted anything I have done." Chen Yu laughed: "You should worry about yourself first. By the way, your son is truly something else."

"I think that even if I didn't appear, the position of Head of Family wouldn't fall to him. After all, the Council of Elders of the Shilaike Family hasn't had their brains kicked in yet."

"You..." Ximeng was so angry her face turned blue. She looked at Chen Yu, trembling, unable to even speak.

Chen Yu laughed loudly as he left; he truly didn't hold Ximeng in any regard at all.

Ximeng gritted her teeth, watching Chen Yu, her whole body shaking. Suddenly, she felt an itch in her throat and a fit of violent coughing.

After the coughing, she fell to her knees with a thud. She opened the palm she had been covering her mouth with, only to see it was full of blood.

Chen Yu left Ximeng's place and ran into Roy head-on.

"Mr. Chen." Roy looked anxious and uneasy. He looked at Chen Yu, not knowing what to say.

"I know what you are worried about. Set your heart at ease; I am not the type of person to be fickle. Since I have decided to support you, I won't cause any more trouble."

Chen Yu saw through what Roy was thinking at a glance, and he said leisurely.

"Yes..." Roy let out a heavy breath; he indeed had worries in that regard.

"Is there something?" Chen Yu asked.

"Lao Shilaike and the Family Elder Group have already decided to officially announce me as the Head of the Shilaike Family." Roy's tone was somewhat excited: "And the forces opposing me are already undergoing a wave of Great Purging."

"The cousins who never looked at me favorably before have now come over to beg for reconciliation. You don't know what they look like; they are acting just like grandsons."

"Actually, even if I hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't have needed to worry about not getting the position of Head of Family." Chen Yu looked at Roy with frustration: "That brother of yours, Baier, is basically a fool. How could you worry that someone like that would steal your position?"
