Chapter 362: You'd Better Shut Your Mouth
Zhou Erba scrambled over, crawling and stumbling. He knelt on the ground, trembling: "Hu Ge, what happened to me? Where did I go wrong?"
"Shut your damn mouth! Don't you know this is President Chen?" Wang Hu kicked him flying again.
"Hu Ge, I, I didn't know." Zhou Erba looked at Wang Hu in terror. He truly did not recognize Chen Yu; even now, he did not know what Chen Yu's status actually was.
"Open your dog eyes and look clearly! This is President Chen Yu. Do you know who President Chen Yu is? Why don't you see how many dog lives you have?" Wang Hu said angrily: "If you want to die, go die yourself. Don't drag me into it, and don't implicate me."
"President Chen, I really didn't recognize you. You are a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against a small person like me. Let me off this once." Zhou Erba bit the bullet, crawled over, and knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Look clearly, this is my brother who I grew up playing with. From now on, if his family has any trouble, I will hold you accountable." Chen Yu pointed at Li Wei, who was already dumbfounded: "Also, from now on, he calls the shots in Ming County. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand..." Zhou Erba said, trembling.
"President Chen, I'm really sorry. This grandson is from the countryside and has no experience; he didn't know you were gracing us with your presence." Wang Hu said to Chen Yu with a smile plastered on his face.
"Why do you have to show off everywhere?" Chen Yu frowned. He did not like this man, Wang Hu.
This guy had a high aptitude for trimming his sails to the wind. Before, he was Yu Lingxuan's dog, but as soon as he saw Yu Lingxuan fall, he immediately defected to Yu Zu.
"Well, we... we have a connection." Wang Hu laughed sheepishly.
"Keep your people in check. If my friend suffers any losses, I will hold you accountable," Chen Yu said coldly.
"Yes, yes, I know. Please rest assured, President Chen. He will definitely not dare to trouble your friend again in the future," Wang Hu said, bowing and scraping.
"Li Wei, let's go. From now on, you call the shots in Ming County. If this kid doesn't accept it, feel free to beat him like you're beating a grandson; he'll accept it," Chen Yu said to Li Wei.
"Chen Yu, you, what is your current status?" Li Wei looked at Chen Yu, feeling a mix of happiness and unease.
He had just been bragging to Chen Yu about how impressive his own status was, claiming he could summon a hundred responses in the county, yet he never imagined that Chen Yu could make a big shot of Wang Hu's level so submissive.
One had to know that behind Wang Hu was the Yu Clan. Such a person was a bona fide big shot. Just how strong Chen Yu's status was, he himself felt a bit confused.
"Alright, what status or no status? It's the same as before, just be casual," Chen Yu laughed: "But Li Wei, I sincerely advise you, there's nothing good to be gained in a small place like the county."
"If you really want to get ahead, move your whole family and come with me to Fengling. I happen to need people there, and I guarantee you'll live ten times better than you do now."
Wang Hu looked at Li Wei with envy. He knew what kind of person Chen Yu was. To be favored by a person like Chen Yu, this kid was set to soar in one step. Why didn't he have such good luck?
"This... I'll consider it." Li Wei hesitated for a long time before nodding.
"You're still considering? What kind of person is President Chen? You're about to get ahead and you're still considering?" Wang Hu was anxious for this guy.
"Shut your mouth. Keep your people in check. If anyone dares to reach out that far in the future, I'll chop off his hand, and I'll chop off yours while I'm at it," Chen Yu glared at him.
"Yes, yes, President Chen, please rest assured. Such things will not happen again in the future," the guy was startled and hurriedly said, smiling obsequiously.
Chen Yu then turned around and left the place with Li Wei.
Not until Chen Yu left did Zhou Erba finally heave a sigh of relief. He said cautiously: "Hu Ge, what is his status? Is it necessary to be so careful with him?"
"Shut your mouth for me!" Wang Hu was furious, and he slapped him across the face again.
"Hu Ge, you at least have to let me know why I'm getting this beating," Zhou Erba said with a mournful face.
"Don't you know about the changes in the Yu Family these past few days?" Wang Hu said angrily.
"I know, Madam Yu of the Yu Family stepped down, and now her younger brother Yu Zu has taken over," Zhou Erba nodded.
"Then do you know why Madam Yu stepped down?" Wang Hu said, frustrated that his subordinate failed to meet his expectations.
"Because of some grudges, could it be... is he that enemy of Madam Yu?" Zhou Erba was shocked.
"What else? Madam Yu invited an expert of the Martial Ancestor Realm, but they were no match for him. How many people in this world can be called a Martial Ancestor?"
"Why don't you feel your own neck to see how many heads you have? What kind of person do you dare to provoke?" Wang Hu said bitterly: "Get out of Ming County and find another way out. If you dare to touch Li Wei again, it's a dead end."
"He, he is actually that powerful." Cold sweat instantly poured down Zhou Erba's forehead. He never imagined that the unremarkable-looking Chen Yu would be so powerful.
Thinking of his attitude toward Chen Yu just now, his face turned pale. With strength at Chen Yu's level, wiping him out would be a matter of minutes.
Chen Yu stayed in Ming County until the afternoon before returning to Fengling.
"Brother Chen Yu, are you back yet? I have something to find you for tonight." Just after getting off the highway, Bai Muyu's call came through.
"I'm back, what's wrong?" Chen Yu asked.
"I need your help with something. My dad is forcing me to go on a blind date tonight..." Bai Muyu said distressfully.
"You? You still need to go on a blind date? Stop kidding. You're a top student, an expert in quantum physics, and your ability is stronger than your dad's, right? You're going on a blind date?" Chen Yu was between laughter and tears.
"I'm serious, my stepmother is forcing me," Bai Muyu said speechlessly: "And the blind date partner has already been found, I have to go. You are my boyfriend, you have to solve this for me."
"Me? When did I become your boyfriend?" Chen Yu was even more between laughter and tears.
"You already agreed last time." Bai Muyu was clinging to Chen Yu.
"That was a pretense last time," Chen Yu said speechlessly.
"I don't care. If it was a pretense last time, it has to be a pretense this time too. Since it's fake, then let's play the fake act to the end," Bai Muyu said angrily.
"Alright, alright, I'll go. Tell me the place, I'll dress up and go," Chen Yu said, between laughter and tears.
"I'll send you the location, you must come." Bai Muyu laughed happily and then hung up the phone.
An address was sent over. Chen Yu glanced at the address and shook his head helplessly.
In the evening, Chen Yu arrived as promised.
Since he was meeting her blind date partner, that meant a romantic rival. So Chen Yu felt he couldn't lose in terms of presence. He put on the outfit Yan Roujin had given him, looking every bit like a successful person.
In a private room of a very atmospheric restaurant, Bai Muyu was already waiting. Beside her was a man wearing black-rimmed glasses who looked gentle and refined.
"Chen Yu, you're here." Seeing Chen Yu, Bai Muyu stepped forward and naturally took Chen Yu's arm. She giggled: "You're late."
"I was stuck in traffic," Chen Yu smiled bitterly.
Bai Muyu being so intimate with him was mostly for the blind date partner to see, but Chen Yu always felt she wanted to turn the fake act into reality.
"Muyu, is this that friend of yours?" The bespectacled man's expression changed.
