Chapter 276: No One's Face Will Work

That's right, the one who entered was Deng Guosheng, and the one pushing him was his daughter, Deng Yuan.

"You have met?" Old Gu looked slightly surprised. "Little Chen, this person is the descendant of an old friend of mine. I have some history with President Deng's grandfather, and since the descendant of an old friend has spoken, I can only owe you another favor."

"Chen Yu, are you unwilling because you aren't saying anything?" Deng Yuan's nostrils flared. "Heh, I bet you didn't expect that we could pull strings with Old Gu, did you? Now that Old Gu has spoken, are you going to treat my father's illness or not?"

"Yuanyuan, hold your tongue." Deng Guosheng scolded Deng Yuan, then smiled. "I will have to trouble you with my legs, Mr. Chen."

"Haha, don't worry. Gu Ping's legs were treated by Little Chen, so he will definitely be able to treat your legs too." Old Gu laughed heartily.

"Mr. Chen, aren't you going to act yet?" Deng Guosheng said with a smile. "Are you not even going to sell Old Gu some face?"

"Chen Yu, you are very impressive, but you will never know just how strong our connections are," Deng Yuan laughed.

This father and daughter felt they had Chen Yu cornered. After all, Old Gu's status was no small matter; with him stepping in, it was impossible for Chen Yu not to act.

"Old Gu, I'm afraid I have to disregard your face today," Chen Yu said with a smile. "As for this person's illness, I'm afraid I cannot treat it."

"What?" The expressions of the Deng family father and daughter changed instantly.

"Chen Yu, don't you know what Old Gu's status is? He has personally come forward to ask you, and you still won't give Old Gu face?" Deng Yuan exploded. "Chen Yu, don't be too excessive with your posturing."

"Little Chen, is there a reason for this?" Old Gu was slightly stunned.

"Old Gu, I won't hide it from you. I have met him twice before, and this President Deng looks down on us Mainland people quite a bit," Chen Yu said calmly.

"The first time we met, he even wanted to break my hands because of a disagreement. Such a person is not worth me saving. Besides, I have said that everyone is equal in the face of life and death. If this President Deng still refuses to lower his noble head, then he can just wait for an amputation."

"So that's how it is. Little Deng, I didn't know there was bad blood between you and Little Chen, and you didn't mention it before," Old Gu seemed to understand something.

"Old Gu, does this man surnamed Chen not give you any face at all?" Deng Guosheng's expression was not very good.

"Face? Does he need to give me face?" Old Gu was displeased. "You don't need to sow discord here. Little Chen is my grandson's savior; I treat him the same as I treat Pingping."

"If you offended Little Chen before and made him unhappy, that is your business. When he forgives you, that is when he will treat your legs. You are relying on my ignorance to pressure Little Chen—what kind of behavior is that?" Old Gu barked.

"I'm sorry, Old Gu, I didn't mean it that way." Deng Guosheng was dumbfounded.

He had originally thought that by bringing out Old Gu, Chen Yu would have to give him some face no matter how arrogant he was, but he never expected that Chen Yu's status in Old Gu's heart would be this high. He had truly messed up this time.

"That is exactly what you meant. Little Chen, I'm sorry. I didn't know about the relationship between you two, making you run all the way here so late," Old Gu said apologetically. "If you don't want to treat this person, then don't. I'll have Gu Ping take you back."

"No need, I can go back myself. As long as Old Gu understands me, that is enough," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Old Gu, please rest early. I will be heading back now."

"Big Brother, I'll see you out," Gu Ping walked up and smiled.

Chen Yu nodded and walked out with Gu Ping, leaving the father and daughter behind to look at each other in dismay.

Deng Guosheng's expression was ugly. When he visited Old Gu today, he learned that Old Gu knew Chen Yu, so he wanted to use Old Gu to suppress Chen Yu. But he never expected that in Old Gu's eyes, Chen Yu's status would be so high.

Now he had tried to be clever only to end up with a worse result; Old Gu's impression of him was surely even worse now.

"Little Deng, I only agreed to help you with this favor because of my friendship with your grandfather, but I never expected you to set me up like this," Old Gu snorted coldly.

"Old Gu, I didn't mean to. My legs... they really can't be delayed any longer," Deng Guosheng lowered his head.

"That is your business. Favors cannot be overdrawn indefinitely. Actually, without Little Chen saying it, I know what kind of character you Hong Kong businessmen have. Do you really think you're something special just because you have a little money? Who still falls for that act nowadays? That's enough, go back. Figure out your own legs yourself."

"Let me remind you, Gu Ping's situation was more serious than yours, but Little Chen had him fully recovered by the next day. If you want him to treat your illness, then show some sincerity."

"Old Gu." Deng Guosheng felt a bitter taste in his heart. He hadn't expected things to evolve to this point.

"That's enough, go back. I need to rest," Old Gu waved his hand, issuing an order to leave.

Helpless, Deng Guosheng had no choice but to take Deng Yuan and take his leave. Only then did he realize that his previous tactics seemed not to work on Chen Yu.

On the way back, Chen Yu hailed a taxi and sat in the back row.

With a flash of blue smoke, A Fu, with an extremely ugly expression, sat beside Chen Yu.

"Why did you come out?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"I feel terrible..." A Fu clutched his chest. "The baleful aura on the two assassins I helped you deal with last time was simply too strong. I couldn't hold out, and now my Primordial Qi hasn't recovered at all. You have to think of a way for me, otherwise I really will dissipate into thin air."

"It's fine, your cultivation is deep, you won't," Chen Yu shook his head, not taking the guy's plea to heart at all.

"My cultivation is deep?" A Fu was furious. "No matter how deep my cultivation is, I'm still just a lonely ghost."

"Then what do you want?" Chen Yu smiled. "An offering?"

"No, I've eaten too much fish and meat, I'm sick of it," A Fu shook his head. "Help me recover some Primordial Qi, otherwise I feel like I'm going to fall apart at any moment. If I really fall apart, who will help you do things in the future?"

"Alright then," Chen Yu nodded helplessly. He flipped his right hand and carefully took out a Spirit Stone.

"You actually have a Spirit Stone? You stingy ghost, you have a Spirit Stone and you wouldn't let me use it?" A Fu was stunned, then furious.

"This thing is rare and hard to find; it's very precious. Besides, you can only use a little bit at a time. If you use too much, you won't be able to withstand the massive aura and will dissipate," Chen Yu said speechlessly.

"Fine, fine, hurry up," A Fu sat up straight.

Chen Yu unleashed his True Qi with his right hand, and the True Qi slowly flowed into A Fu's body.

The driver in front turned his head with a strange look. He didn't know what Chen Yu was doing, talking to himself.

A moment later, A Fu's body gradually solidified. He let out a long breath; his Primordial Qi had finally recovered a little.

"So comfortable," A Fu said, intoxicated. "It's like I have a body again."

"Then work hard in the future. My Spirit Stone isn't for you to use for free," Chen Yu said, feeling a pang of heartache.

This Spirit Stone wasn't big to begin with, and the Spiritual Energy inside had already been wasted quite a bit. In the future, he would have to squeeze this guy for all he was worth and drain every bit of value out of him.

Suddenly, the car stopped. The driver in front didn't even turn his head and said, "Get out."

"Get out?" Chen Yu was stunned. He turned his head to look; this place was pitch black, there were no streetlights on either side, and there were piles of grave mounds all around. It looked like a mass grave.
