Chapter 5: It Is Not Your Place to Call the Shots Here

~9 min read 1,674 words

"I am the one who covers the sky with one hand, you brat; no one can save you," Zou Dalong roared. "In Fengling, whoever I want to die, dies."

"It is not your place to call the shots in Fengling." The door opened, and Lin Wenfu walked in with a group of bodyguards in long strides.

A dense crowd of people packed the entire private room so tightly that not even water could pass through; these men had bulges at their waists, clearly carrying guns.

"Head of Family Lin?" Zou Dalong was stunned; he even forgot the pain in his hand.

"Clear the place. The Dynasty Club is not open for business today," Lin Wenfu said in a deep voice.

"Yes." A bodyguard hurried away.

"Mr. Chen, leave the matter here to me to handle." Lin Wenfu bowed slightly to Chen Yu, then turned around and said, "Zou Dalong, are you tired of living?"

"Head of Family Lin, who is he?" Zou Dalong asked, biting the bullet, though his confidence was lacking.

The Fengling Lin Family was one of the Four Great Families, with an extremely deep background and immense financial power.

Rumors outside said he was supported by the Lin Family, and he had tacitly accepted this; over the years, he had secretly used the Lin Family's influence to facilitate many things, but he knew clearly in his heart that he had nothing to do with the Lin Family.

Moreover, Lin Wenfu's status was such that even the General Director of Fengling had to give him some face, but today, Lin Wenfu had come out in person just for a gambler?

"He is a distinguished guest of my Lin Family. Zou Dalong, I hold all the dirt on you from these years—drug trafficking, arms dealing, forcing good women into prostitution." Lin Wenfu took out a file. "Do you think if I hand this over, you will still be able to live?"

"Head of Family Lin, what do you mean? You and I have always kept to our own business." Zou Dalong's vision went black.

With the Lin Family's power, saying they held his dirt meant they held it; not to mention the Lin Family's influence in Fengling, the second-in-command of the Lin Family held great power at the border—getting rid of him was truly a matter of minutes.

"This is a distinguished guest of my Lin Family; my father's life is in his hands. You tell me, why is this?" Lin Wenfu said coldly. "If you don't want to die, then you should know what to do."

Lin Wenfu waved his hand, and the people behind him stepped forward in unison. Dozens of men raised their weapons, pointing them at Zou Dalong. Thud, thud—several people were thrown in; all of the dozens of lackeys in Zou Dalong's club were now beaten and lying on the ground.

"Head of Family Lin, I didn't know this was your distinguished guest. I beg you to show mercy." Facing the pitch-black muzzles of the weapons, Zou Dalong's scalp went numb, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

The situation was already clear; Lin Wenfu couldn't even wait to hand over the evidence of his crimes. He wanted Zou Dalong's life, and it was just a matter of minutes.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy," Lin Wenfu sneered.

Thud. Zou Dalong gritted his teeth and knelt down. He knew that to survive, he had to swallow his pride; otherwise, he wouldn't be leaving the club today.

"Whether I give you a chance depends on Mr. Chen." Lin Wenfu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

"It wasn't a big deal originally." Chen Yu frowned. "But he touched my wife. Break one of his arms as a lesson, so he doesn't forget."

"Still not thanking Mr. Chen?" Lin Wenfu turned and shouted.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you." Zou Dalong knocked his head against the floor several times with a thudding sound, then took out a pool cue himself, placed one arm on the table, gritted his teeth, and smashed down hard.

With a crack, Zou Dalong broke his own arm. He endured the pain, refusing to let himself scream, as large beads of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

"Mr. Chen, regarding my father's illness, please, you must take action." Lin Wenfu breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Chen Yu wasn't angry, it was fine.

"The illness is not a big problem. You go back first; I'll send my wife home before we talk." Chen Yu said.

Chen Yu reached out to take Ye Xinyu's pulse and, learning that the fetus was unharmed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment, then reached out to press a point on her Baihui, pressing it slowly a few times.

Ye Xinyu, who had been in a state of nervous tension while unconscious, relaxed her mind and fell into a deep sleep.

She had been working overtime every day since she became pregnant and was indeed tired. Chen Yu calmed her spirit and helped her sleep so she could have a good rest.

"Mr. Chen, your wife seems to have been frightened. How about this: I will arrange a high-end ward for her at Dawn Hospital so she can rest for a few days and recover her health, how about that?" Lin Wenfu said.

"That works." Chen Yu thought about it; the conditions at home were too poor, and Ye Xinyu really needed to rest.

"Arrange it immediately," Lin Wenfu said.

"Yes." A bodyguard stepped forward and bowed; several bodyguards brought a stretcher and sent Ye Xinyu away.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Yu placed Ye Xinyu on the bed. She was exhausted, and Chen Yu had helped her sleep, so she would likely sleep for a long time. After tucking her in, Chen Yu left the room and walked toward Lin Lao's ward.

Just as he stepped out of the door, a voice came over: "Chen Yu?"

Chen Yu turned his head to look and saw a man and a woman standing behind him. He didn't recognize the man, but the woman was his wife's cousin, Wang Jing.

"Cousin, it's you." Chen Yu was startled. Because of him, Ye Xinyu had almost no contact with her maternal family, and these relatives hadn't been in touch for a long time.

"Chen Yu, what are you doing here? Do you know what kind of place this is?" Wang Jing confirmed his identity and immediately put on an arrogant expression.

"Your cousin is resting here," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"My boyfriend, Wang Ke." Chen Jing smiled. "Honey, this is the Chen Yu I told you about, that cousin-in-law of mine."

"The one you said graduated from medical school and spent his days playing gambling games at home, and then severed ties after squandering his father's family fortune?" Wang Ke had a look of sudden realization.

"That's right. My cousin doesn't even keep in touch with the family because of him. Chen Yu, what did you just say? Your wife is resting here?" Wang Jing asked in surprise.

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded.

"Hahaha, haven't seen you in years, and you've really become better and better at bragging, Chen Yu. This is the best and most expensive private hospital in Fengling."

"The base fee for a regular ward here is thousands a day. For this kind of high-end special care ward, the daily cost starts at ten thousand. Are you qualified to stay here? Can you afford it?"

"I..." Chen Yu was speechless, but given his past, it was normal for these relatives to look down on him.

"What, did I say something wrong? When it comes down to it, my cousin just has bad luck, marrying a loser like you."

"Unlike my Wang Ke; his family runs a company. When my mother got sick, he arranged for her to be in the VIP section here directly. He even contacted the Divine Doctor Xu Guangyuan from Shengjing. Later, Elder Xu will personally examine my mother."

Wang Jing showed off her superiority with a face full of mockery; in her eyes, Chen Yu was useless.

"Jingjing, don't poke at people's sore spots." Wang Ke said with a chuckle. "Isn't it better to let him finish his bragging in peace?"

"My cousin really didn't think things through; how could she have taken a fancy to someone like you?" Wang Jing sneered.

"Wang Jing, don't worry, I will give her happiness in the future." Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"Happiness? Haha, Chen Yu, stop joking. A dog can't change its habit of eating excrement. In other words, even if you changed, so what? Can you earn money? Can you give my cousin happiness?"

"She is pregnant and her health is poor. Do you have the ability to let her stay in such a luxurious ward? Can you bring in Divine Doctor Xu from the Imperial Hospital in Shengjing to help her with her pregnancy?"

"Xinyu is staying right here. If you don't believe it, that's fine; I have no need to make you believe." Chen Yu frowned; he didn't want to tangle with this woman anymore.

"Here? Haha, stop bragging. This row of room numbers starting with 8 are all special care wards within the high-end ward area. These are for people at the leadership level; even if you had money, you might not be able to get in."

Wang Ke looked mocking; Chen Yu was truly becoming more and more outrageous.

Just at this moment, the door to room 866 behind Chen Yu opened, and Ye Xinyu walked out, looking somewhat flustered.

"Husband, how am I in the hospital? What is going on?"

"Cousin, you, are you really staying here?" Wang Jing was dumbfounded: "How is this possible? How could your circumstances afford a hospital room like this?"

But the hospital gown Ye Xinyu wore in the VIP ward, and the special nurse following her every step of the way, could not be mistaken.
