Chapter 392: They Will Regret It

Ning Ruoxue leaned slowly into Chen Yu's embrace, murmuring, "Actually, as a lawyer, I knew long ago that I would be in danger, but I never dreamed that the danger would come from the person closest to me."

"Do you hate them?" Chen Yu asked.

"I do, but what can I do?" Ning Ruoxue's tears fell slowly: "She no longer treats me as her daughter."

"You may not be able to bring yourself to hate her because you are her daughter, but I cannot, because she touched the person I care about most," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Did you really cure Li Hao?" Ning Ruoxue asked.

"He is cured; I stimulated all his potential, allowing him to possess a physique healthier than a normal person's within a few hours, but once the time limit passes, it must be supplemented with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to replenish his potential."

"Only when his potential is replenished can his body be maintained, but after three days, he will continue to need very precious medicine. The Li family is wealthy and can keep him hanging on indefinitely. I can treat illnesses for free, but can the medicine be free?"

"If you want him to be completely well, you can, by handing over the company under Lv Fang's name," Chen Yu said coldly. "And as for that bastard Li Zhengye, with a star of misfortune entering his body, if he can last more than three days, I'll consider it my loss."

"Hao Hao, are you really okay now? Come, let Mom see," Lv Fang said, looking at her son's healthy appearance with great joy.

Fearing that Chen Yu might have played some underhanded trick, she hugged her son and looked him over, but no matter how she looked, Li Hao was just like a normal person, and only then was she convinced that Li Hao had truly recovered.

"That brat Chen Yu is indeed formidable; I saw with my own eyes that Hao Hao got better after just a few needles," Li Zhengye said with a resentful expression. "But that knife wound he gave me was truly vicious; although the wound healed immediately after he sprinkled medicine on it, I still feel a lot of pain."

"Don't provoke him in the future; let's go abroad to hide first. That brat is very sinister," Lv Fang felt a chill down her spine when she thought of Chen Yu's move of condensing fallen leaves into blades.

"Why be afraid of him? I know a few second-generation elites in Shengjing, and I also know people in the underworld. No matter how formidable Chen Yu is, what can he do?" Li Hao said with a sinister look. "I'll pull some strings and find experts to kill him in a minute. No matter how formidable he is, can he withstand bullets?"

"Enough, in any case, don't provoke him. Let's leave Fengling as soon as possible; don't stay here. That person is very terrifying," the more Lv Fang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Ning Ruoxue was very important to Chen Yu; although she did not understand the reason, Chen Yu was a person who always repaid grievances. She had touched Ning Ruoxue, and Chen Yu's display of calm was too excessive.

"What are you afraid of? I'm contacting people right now, I..." Li Hao stopped mid-sentence, his expression suddenly freezing, and he stopped in his tracks abruptly.

"Hao Hao, what's wrong with you?" Lv Fang asked in surprise.

"Mom, my chest... is tight." Li Hao suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then fell straight down.

"Hao Hao, what's wrong, Hao Hao? Quick, call an ambulance!" Lv Fang screamed hysterically. She squatted down, holding her son's head with one hand and grabbing a handkerchief to cover her son's mouth.

But the fresh blood spilled out from her son's mouth, and the handkerchief quickly turned bright red.

Moreover, Li Hao's hair turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then from gray to snow-white.

His skin shriveled up rapidly and then became withered; in less than a minute, his image changed from a youth to a white-haired old man.

"Call a car, quick, ah!" Lv Fang screamed.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go right now." Li Zhengye was stunned; seeing his son become like this, even his hands were trembling.

He rushed desperately into the crowd, waving his hands and shouting to stop a car.

Being in the middle of traffic was dangerous in itself; suddenly, a car sped over and drove straight into Li Zhengye.

With a thud, Li Zhengye was sent flying by the speeding sedan, rolling onto the ground after flying more than ten meters. His eyes were wide open, and after twitching a few times, he lay on the ground motionless.

Staring blankly as her husband was sent flying, Lv Fang let out a desperate scream; she felt her entire life had completely collapsed.

"Li Hao's illness flared up, Li Zhengye was hit by a car, in critical condition."

Looking at the text message on his phone, Chen Yu replied with the word "OK," put away his phone, and revealed a cold sneer.

Ning Ruoxue was the person he had sworn to protect for the rest of his life; her status was higher than anyone else's. Daring to touch Ning Ruoxue was touching Chen Yu's reverse scale. The three members of Lv Fang's family were courting death for no reason, and having this result was their own doing.

"Chen Yu, when are you going back to your hometown? I want to go and see," a message from Si Chen arrived on WeChat, followed by a smiley face.

"If you have nothing to do, go today," Chen Yu replied.

"That's great," Si Chen replied with a cheering message.

"I'll come pick you up." Chen Yu thought for a moment, ran to the garage, and drove that Harley out again. He had suddenly grown fond of the feeling of the strong wind blowing across his face; that thrill that made his adrenaline soar was truly indescribable in words.

It was no wonder that group of bikers liked speeding; he didn't plan on returning this motorcycle for a while, so he would just drive it for a few days to satisfy his craving.

Seeing Chen Yu driving the Harley to pick her up, Si Chen sat on it happily, then naturally wrapped her hands around Chen Yu's waist.

"Miss, where are you going again?" the two bodyguards, still bruised and swollen, asked cautiously.

These two bodyguards were originally sent to monitor her, but after a beating from Chen Yu's people, the two of them now doubted their lives. Everything they reported to Si Chen's mother was normal.

"I'm going to Yaoshan with Chen Yu, and I'll try to be back by night," Si Chen said. "Don't tell my mother."

"Yes, yes, we guarantee we won't tell the Madam." The two looked at Chen Yu with fear, then shrank their heads.

"You need to be clear about whose people you are," Chen Yu said indifferently. "Working by Miss Si Chen's side in the future, you know what should be said and what shouldn't, right?"

"We know, we all know, Mr. Chen." The two nodded repeatedly.

"Good that you know; if you leak anything, you'll see what happens to you." Chen Yu glared at the two, revved the throttle, and the motorcycle roared away.

The journey of several dozen kilometers took about an hour.

Now was the season when some medicinal herbs in Yaoshan were maturing, and large patches of Chinese medicinal herbs were blooming with all kinds of flowers in the fields.

"Wow, so beautiful." Si Chen stood in the field, looking at the boundless sea of flowers and smelling the faint medicinal fragrance in the air; she opened her arms, intoxicated by it.

"Now is the harvest season for several types of medicine. Look, this patch of red flowers is called Peony; it can relieve pain, remove blood stasis, and promote menstruation." Chen Yu pointed to another patch of yellow fields: "This field is Rhododendron; the color is bright, but it is poisonous."

"Poisonous? Such a beautiful flower is actually poisonous?" Si Chen felt it was unbelievable.

"Yes, but its value as a Chinese medicine is very high; it can treat rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic injuries." Chen Yu introduced the origins and values of these medicines to her.

Si Chen was immersed in it; the things Chen Yu spoke of were things she had never come into contact with before, and she found them very novel.

"Chen Yu, Yaoshan is too big, and it's also very beautiful. If we built a small wooden cabin in the valley and lived here all year round, wouldn't that be great?" Si Chen said.

"That's true. Many people think about living in seclusion in the mountains, finding a place isolated from the world, and living with the person they like most and care about. But everyone living in this world has their own things to do and their own responsibilities."

"So, very few people can truly retire to the mountains and live a carefree pastoral life. However, since a person has a goal, they should work hard toward their goal; in the end, it won't be wrong."

"Yes, but what is my goal?" Si Chen was a bit lost.

From the time she became sensible, she had been brainwashed by the two words "wealthy family." Her parents pinned all their hopes on her, and the older she got, the more she was crushed until she couldn't breathe.

She really didn't know what her future would be like; she just vaguely felt that if things went on like this, she would go crazy sooner or later.

"There will always be a goal; look for it slowly. Come, let's go up the mountain to take a look," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "That place is planted with a special medicine called 'Four-Leaf Camellia.' It has four giant leaves, and the flowers are very beautiful. Only that area on the mountaintop has a suitable climate; it took me a lot of effort to successfully transplant them."

"Okay, take me to see it." Si Chen nodded excitedly.

There was a Chinese medicine cultivation base on the mountaintop, which was jointly developed by Tianyun Pharmaceutical and the Plant Academy, with the goal of better cultivating Chinese medicinal herbs.

The Four-Leaf Camellia is a type of rare medicinal herb; it does not count as Precious Grade, but its value is not much different from ginseng or Spirit mushrooms, and there are only a few mu of herb fields.

When Chen Yu arrived here, he could not help but be startled, only to see a group of people here setting up equipment and shining lights to film a video.

There were even a few internet celebrities in strange attire standing in the middle of the herb field, twisting their waists and shouting, "Old buddies 666, thanks for the rocket from the number one on the leaderboard."

A large patch of Four-Leaf Camellias under the internet celebrities' feet had been trampled into a mess, and a large area of camellias in the herb field had been damaged.
