Chapter 391: Where is she?

"Where is Ruoxue?" Chen Yu asked coldly.

"I don't know, what are you talking about, Chen Yu?" Li Zhengye feigned ignorance.

Slap... A slap through the air sent Li Zhengye flying several meters away; he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, shattered half his teeth, and collapsed onto the ground.

"Where is she?" Chen Yu walked forward, stretched out his foot to step on one of Li Zhengye's fingers, and asked coldly again: "Speak, where is she?"

"I don't know. Chen Yu, if you dare to touch me, I won't let you off," Li Zhengye hissed, emboldening himself.

Crack! A finger snapped. Li Zhengye screamed, his vision going black in waves. With ten fingers connected to the heart, Chen Yu stepping on and crushing his finger caused a pain that nearly made him faint.

"Giving you one last chance: where is she?" Chen Yu's voice was incomparably chilling; it sounded as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Li Zhengye was on the verge of a breakdown; he was panting heavily.

Just then, his cell phone rang; it was a call from Lv Fang. Chen Yu glanced at the phone, then set it aside.

The ringing stopped after a few times, then it called again. Chen Yu answered the phone: "Release Ruoxue, otherwise both your husband and your son will die."

"Chen Yu, just try touching them," Lv Fang shrieked.

Slap... The call was hung up. A moment later, a video was sent over. Lv Fang gritted her teeth, connected the video, and pointed it at Ning Ruoxue's face.

"Chen Yu, look clearly. The person you want is here. If you dare to touch this father and son, I will make sure you never see her again," Lv Fang shrieked.

Pfft, a dagger pierced through Li Zhengye's shoulder, and he screamed in pain.

Chen Yu pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into Li Hao's thigh.

"Ah..." Li Hao screamed like a slaughtered pig. He fell from his wheelchair onto the ground with a thud, then scrambled up like a dead dog.

"Stop, don't move, you stop right now." Lv Fang grabbed a knife and placed it against Ning Ruoxue's face: "If you dare to touch them again, I will kill her."

"Fine, then go ahead. Two lives for one, it's worth it," Chen Yu said coldly: "Lv Fang, the knife you're holding is aimed at your own biological daughter."

"And I am aiming at your husband and your son. Even if we end up destroying each other, you will be the one hurt the most. You will never win. Are you sure you want to try? Do you want to experience what it feels like to have nothing left?"

"Shut up, you release them, release them!" Lv Fang cried out hoarsely: "Don't force me."

"I'm not forcing you, I can also stop," Chen Yu threw the dagger aside, then pointed at Li Hao, who was gasping on the ground: "Look at your son. Even if I don't hurt him from now on, he won't last much longer."

"Son, Hao Hao, how are you?" Lv Fang cried out. She watched helplessly as her son lay on the ground, taking in more air than he was letting out.

"Mom... save me..." Li Hao trembled like a dead dog.

"Wanting to save your son is actually very simple. We could sit down and talk calmly, but why must you use such extreme methods?" Chen Yu said coldly: "Do you really think this can force me to submit?"

"Chen Yu, save Hao Hao, save him immediately, I promise not to hurt Ruoxue," Lv Fang suddenly knelt on the ground and cried: "Please save my son."

"Then bring Ruoxue back, and I guarantee your son will be full of life," Chen Yu said.

"No, you must cure him first," Lv Fang shouted.

"Then there's nothing to talk about," Chen Yu spread his hands: "Remember, I hold more chips than you do; you have no right to negotiate terms with me."

"Chen Yu, don't worry about me," Ning Ruoxue suddenly said.

"Shut up," Lv Fang grabbed the dagger angrily: "Chen Yu, what do you want?"

"If you want to talk, bring some sincerity. Bring her back, I'll cure your son, and then we'll both be happy. I guarantee I won't cause you any trouble," Chen Yu said: "If you don't want to talk, then we'll just have to let it all fall apart."

"Fine, I'll bring Ruoxue back immediately. You must guarantee that this father and son will be safe and sound, and guarantee that my son's illness and injuries will be cured," Lv Fang gritted her teeth and said.

"Half an hour. When you arrive, I guarantee that the two of them will be healthy and sound," Chen Yu said.

"Fine, half an hour. I also guarantee that she will return home safe and sound," Lv Fang shouted.

Slap, the video closed. Lv Fang grabbed Ning Ruoxue, took out a pill, forced it into Ning Ruoxue's mouth, and then poured a large glass of water to make her swallow it.

"What did you feed me?" Ning Ruoxue choked and coughed.

"Don't blame me. I don't trust Chen Yu; I must keep an ace up my sleeve. Ruoxue, although you are my child, your younger brother is more important than you," Lv Fang gritted her teeth and said.

"Fine, fine then. Since you hate me so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place?" Ning Ruoxue's tears fell: "Lv Fang, you have such a cruel heart."

"Enough nonsense, let's go. If your brother has any trouble, Chen Yu and I will both suffer. If he's fine, you can only blame your own bad luck," Lv Fang said angrily.

Half an hour later, the two sides met at the agreed-upon location.

The location was a clubhouse. Lv Fang made Ning Ruoxue walk in front, with the dagger in her hand pressed against Ning Ruoxue's back. Ning Ruoxue's mouth was gagged, and she could not speak.

Opposite them was only Chen Yu, along with Li Zhengye and his son. Chen Yu said calmly: "Don't be so nervous, I'm alone right now."

Li Hao had changed from his previous image of a sickly ghost; he was now glowing with health, standing to the side. The wounds on his body had been bandaged, and he looked just like a normal person.

"Hao Hao, are you alright?" Lv Fang looked at her son with delight.

"I'm fine, Mom. I feel great now, I have a lot of strength in my body, I'm not panting anymore, my chest doesn't hurt, and I can even feel my own heartbeat." Li Hao spoke with a full, resonant voice; this was the first time he had spoken so loudly in the years he had been ill.

"Really? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere? Lao Li, what about you?" Lv Fang was both surprised and happy.

"I'm also doing quite well. I watched Chen Yu use acupuncture to save our son with my own eyes; there shouldn't be any problems," Li Zhengye also shouted.

"Fine, Chen Yu, you really are a man of your word," Lv Fang shouted: "Let the father and son come over, and I will release Ning Ruoxue immediately."

"Go," Chen Yu waved his hand.

The father and son hurried forward, moving out of Chen Yu's control. Li Hao turned his head and said viciously: "Chen Yu, I remember everything you did to me just now. You wait, when I return to Shengjing and find my friends, I'll come back to settle the score with you properly."

"The people have been released, let Ruoxue come over," Chen Yu said coldly: "Lv Fang, you had better not break your word, otherwise I can keep your whole family of three here at the clubhouse."

As Chen Yu spoke, he used his right hand to beckon and grab at a green plant, and three green leaves hovered in his palm.

With a flick of his right hand, True Qi burst forth, and the three leaves shot out with a trail of light. With three 'pfft' sounds, the leaves pierced into the wall to the side.

Under the reinforcement of Chen Yu's True Qi, the three leaves were embedded into the wall like sharp blades, and the movement was extremely fast—so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Li Hao screamed and quickly dove behind Ning Ruoxue. He looked at Chen Yu in terror, trembling slightly.

Lv Fang was shocked. This was the first time she had seen Chen Yu's true strength. If Chen Yu really wanted to kill their family of three, it could be said to be as easy as lifting a hand or a foot.

Originally, she had wanted to continue using Ning Ruoxue to threaten Chen Yu, but now she didn't dare.

She had no choice but to release Ning Ruoxue and then slowly back away.

"Chen Yu, we are even from now on. Don't cause us any more trouble," Lv Fang shrieked.

"Even?" Chen Yu grabbed Ning Ruoxue's hand, and he glanced at Lv Fang coldly: "If you had honestly brought Ruoxue back, that would have been the end of it, but you played tricks on her."

"Betraying your trust and acting in bad faith, do you think this matter can just end here?"

"Chen Yu, don't talk nonsense. I didn't do anything. We agreed that we were even. Let's go, hurry up and leave, we're returning to Jing immediately." The family of three retreated timidly.

Chen Yu ignored them and hurriedly peeled the tape off Ning Ruoxue's mouth.

"She made me eat something," Ruoxue said.

"It's nothing, it's just a slow-acting drug. I'll write you a prescription, and after you drink it, it will be neutralized." As Chen Yu spoke, he quickly wrote down the prescription and had someone go prepare it.

Not until Ning Ruoxue drank the prescription did the heart Chen Yu had been holding finally settle in his chest.

"From now on, I will send people to follow you and hire professional drivers and bodyguards for you. I will not allow this kind of thing to happen again." Chen Yu stroked Ning Ruoxue's head.
