Chapter 406: Incompetent and Counterproductive

"This isn't the first time you've suffered a loss at Chen Yu's hands, is it?" Xing Lan stood up and paced back and forth in the room. She said bitterly, "Besides, even that person from the Yu Clan was forced to abdicate. Of the Fengling Four Great Families, three are already standing on Chen Yu's side."

"Are you truly blind? You see Chen Yu and don't stay far away? Are you doing this on purpose to anger me to death?" The old lady said, her anger still unabated, and she stepped forward to kick Zhao Zhong hard a few times.

This old lady of the Zhao Family came from a Martial Arts Family, so even at the advanced age of ninety, her kung fu had not fallen behind at all. Although these kicks were not delivered with full force, they still made Zhao Zhong's vision go black.

"Grandmother, I truly know I was wrong, but now that things have reached this point, what should we do?" Zhao Zhong said tremblingly, "I heard... that someone wants to move against our Zhao Family this time?"

"It's not a rumor, it's a fact." Xing Lan said furiously, "Chen Yu cut off the supply of Stop-Bleeding Medicine and Toxin Repellent Powder at the border, saying that this incident affected production. This time, the big shots in the military department are pressing down directly; all relevant personnel will be punished without exception."

"Our Zhao Family must cede a portion of our assets to Chen Yu. We will lose one-third of our family fortune this time just to settle this matter, you useless thing." Xing Lan said, kicking Zhao Zhong to the ground.

"How can it be like this, Grandmother? This won't do. Even if our Zhao Family has money, it was earned through hard work. Furthermore... this is one-third! If we just give it to Chen Yu for nothing, not to mention inflating his arrogance, our Zhao Family will also be removed from the Four Great Families by the people." Zhao Zhong raised his head in terror.

He had never dreamed that this incident would be so serious; their Zhao Family had truly gotten into big trouble this time.

"You know fear now?" Xing Lan stared at him and said, "What were you doing earlier? I shouldn't have had the thought of handing the Zhao Family over to you; you are just a piece of trash."

"Grandmother, now is not the time to hold me accountable. Once this matter is settled, you can punish me however you like, but our family assets—how can we just give them to that bastard Chen Yu for nothing?" Zhao Zhong was truly unconvinced.

"Hmph, that old sister of mine is currently in Fengling. If I ask her to step in for this matter, it will certainly be settled. However, favors are used up one by one. I wouldn't have used this favor unless the Zhao Group was at a life-or-death moment, but this time, sigh, there is no other way."

"The Zhou Laotaijun from the Huang Family? She is in Fengling?" Zhao Zhong was delighted. He raised his head and said, "Can you take me when you go to see her? She is a legendary figure."

"Shut up. To take you along to ruin things? You are someone who fails at everything and ruins everything." Xing Lan snorted, "I will visit tomorrow. You stay home honestly. If you dare to do anything bad, I will drive you out of the Zhao Family."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be obedient, definitely." Zhao Zhong nodded repeatedly. This old lady had held the reins of the Zhao Family for twenty years; no one dared to defy her. If she said she would drive him out, even his parents wouldn't dare to say a single word of protest.

Another day passed, in a high-end ward of a private hospital.

Huang Shaoming's condition had clearly improved, and the broken bones in his body had miraculously recovered within these few days.

With such severe injuries, he should have been certain to die, but now he was able to walk slowly with crutches. This had to be called a miracle.

Chen Yu performed acupuncture on him again and adjusted the subsequent medicine.

"Brother Chen, thank you so much. My life was saved by you. In the future, if you go to Shengjing and have any trouble, just report my name and call me; I'll solve it for you." Even with a limp, Huang Shaoming could not hide his thick sense of posturing.

However, this guy was indeed one of the rare 'red third generation' in Shengjing. Although he had some flaws, his values were relatively upright, and he had no other bad records besides liking to drag race and hang out in bars.

"Haha, then when I go to Shengjing in the future, I'll come straight to you if I have any trouble." Chen Yu laughed heartily, "I'll have to go to that place sooner or later."

"Good, come straight to me when you go." Huang Shaoming chuckled.

"That's enough out of you. If it weren't for Mr. Chen this time, you probably wouldn't have even kept your life. From now on, I'm locking all your sports cars in the garage. If you dare to drag race again, I'll break your legs." Huang Jianzhong glared at his son.

Although his tone was harsh, his words were full of affection. After all, this kid was the only descendant of their Huang Family; if something really happened to him, he would have no face to see their ancestors even if he committed suicide.

"Dad, don't be so strict. Even if you ask me to race in the future, I won't go. I'm scared; my little life is what matters." Huang Shaoming shook his head repeatedly.

"Mr. Chen, is my great-grandson really alright?" Zhou Laotaijun, who was to the side, stood up and asked.

"He's fine. After recuperating for another week, he will be like a normal person. Now that the broken bones have just healed, although there are no major problems, it is still best not to do any strenuous exercise to avoid any issues," Chen Yu said.

"That's good, thank you so much. If something had really happened to this kid, how would I go underground to see the old man in a few years?" Zhou Laotaijun let out a sigh of relief.

"The old lady still has more than ten years of good days to enjoy, haha, set your heart at ease," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Sigh, alright, alright, I'm relieved with those words from you." Zhou Laotaijun nodded.

"Laotaijun, please eat something. I had the kitchen cook some porridge." Liu Xinrui walked up and said.

"Forget it, I can't eat." The old lady looked at the porridge in the bowl, and she couldn't help but knit her brows. She hadn't been able to eat anything for the past two days, and her stomach felt a bit averse to it.

"This... Grandmother, you haven't eaten much for the past few days. This won't do if it continues like this," Huang Jianzhong was stunned.

"I can't eat it. I feel nauseous when I see food." Zhou Laotaijun shook her head, "I'll just rest for a while, don't worry about me."

As the old lady spoke, her legs suddenly went weak, and she nearly fell to the ground.

"Old lady, what's wrong with you?" The few people in the room were startled and hurriedly supported her.

"Oh my, I feel dizzy. I suppose I am getting old." Zhou Laotaijun was supported as she sat down slowly, and she sighed, "What is the point of living to such an age? Even a cold or fever makes the people around me anxious."

"Quick, call a Yisheng." Huang Jianzhong panicked; nothing could happen to the old lady.

"Call what Yisheng? Isn't Little Chen here?" The old lady said with a smile, "Who else could have better medical skills than Little Chen?"

"Haha, look at me, I panicked in my rush." Huang Jianzhong slapped his forehead and said, "Doctor Chen, I'll have to trouble you."

"It's fine, it's not a big problem." Chen Yu smiled slightly. He walked up and said, "The old lady is worried about Shaoming's condition, worried too much, which is why this problem has appeared."

"So it's because of me?" Huang Shaoming, who was to the side, blushed and lowered his head in shame, "I'm sorry, Great-Grandmother, for making you worry. In the future, I will be a steady person and not let you worry."

"If you truly care for me, then hurry up and find a girl to marry and have a bunch of children, so I can see the fifth generation." The old lady glared at him.

"This... I'm still young." Huang Shaoming was caught between laughter and tears.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, please take a look at what's going on with the old lady," Huang Jianzhong said.

"The problem is not big, but sorrow harms the five viscera, and the old lady has had a history of stomach pain, so it still needs to be treated. Otherwise, a small problem will evolve into a big one," Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

"Then will you prescribe some medicine for me?" The old lady asked.

"For this condition of yours, ordinary medicine will have no effect. Furthermore, every medicine has three parts poison, and Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, so I must use a heavy dose," Chen Yu laughed.

"A heavy dose?" The few people were all slightly stunned.

"At Zhou Laotaijun's age, a heavy dose? You must be crazy." Just at this moment, an old man entered the ward.

"Liang Lao, it's you." Huang Jianzhong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why have you come here?"

"I couldn't set my heart at ease regarding the old lady's health. I have been the old lady's exclusive Yisheng for decades; no one understands her physical condition better than I do. She hasn't traveled far in all these years, and I was worried she wouldn't be able to handle it, so I came to take a look," Liang Lao said.

"Little Liang, you have truly worked hard. I didn't expect you to run such a long way here." Zhou Laotaijun's eyes narrowed, and she was very happy.

"Doctor Chen, this is Liang Lao, one of the national masters in the Imperial Hospital. My family's Laotaijun has always sought him out whenever she felt unwell over the years." Liu Xinrui was afraid Chen Yu would be unhappy, so she said hurriedly.

"You were the one who said you wanted to use a heavy dose just now?" Liang Lao was quite conceited; he turned his head and asked Chen Yu.

"Not a heavy dose, but a heavy ingredient," Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

"What heavy ingredient? The old lady is advanced in age; even her diet is extremely plain, and she generally doesn't touch strong-flavored things. You still dare to use a heavy ingredient? Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong with her body?" Liang Lao looked at Chen Yu sideways while taking Zhou Laotaijun's pulse.
