Chapter 552: I Support You

"Mr. Chen, I have considered it clearly. If you can save my grandfather, the Shengjing Ye Clan will support you with all our might." Ye Qingning's expression was resolute, and her tone carried a faint air of decisive killing intent.

"What if someone in the Ye Clan disagrees?" Chen Yu asked.

"Then I will seize power in the Ye Clan and force them to agree," Ye Qingning declared. "My grandfather spent his life in the military and fell ill because of that mission. No matter who it is, they have no right to let him wait for death."

"Very well. I also guarantee that after the trip to the Witch Clan, I will return a healthy and safe grandfather to you," Chen Yu nodded.

"Chen Yu, you must keep your word." Ye Qinglong, standing to the side, still dared not approach Chen Yu.

"Of course I keep my word," Chen Yu glanced at Ye Qinglong and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? I am not a venomous snake or a wild beast."

"You—you—you are even more terrifying than a venomous snake or a wild beast." Ye Qinglong shivered under his gaze and hurriedly took a few more steps back, keeping his distance from Chen Yu.

"If you don't provoke me, would I be so bored as to tease you?" Chen Yu laughed.

"We are on the same side now, so of course I won't provoke you, but you must guarantee that you won't use those sorceries to tease me in the future," Ye Qinglong mustered his courage.

"Sorcery?" Chen Yu glanced at him and said, "This is the orthodox Mystic Gate art. In your mouth, it becomes sorcery?"

"Qinglong, watch your words. Mr. Chen comes from a background of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the arts he practices are all the essence of Huaxia tradition," Ye Qingning said.

"Really? Then is it hard to learn this stuff?" Ye Qinglong immediately became interested.

"It's not hard," Chen Yu shook his head. "Do you want to learn?"

"I really do want to learn. Why don't you teach me? I can take you as my master," Ye Qinglong chuckled.

After all, he was young; in the blink of an eye, he had forgotten how Chen Yu had just teased him.

To say this guy didn't have a shred of selfishness would be impossible; after all, he had seen Chen Yu's methods with his own eyes.

If he truly became Chen Yu's disciple, firstly, he could get closer to Chen Yu, and his grandfather's affairs would certainly be fine; secondly, he could suppress those playboys in Shengjing.

But a single sentence from Chen Yu nearly made him explode with anger. Chen Yu glanced at him and said indifferently, "You can't. Your aptitude is too poor."

"Chen Yu, you..." Ye Qinglong was so blocked by Chen Yu's words that he couldn't speak.

"Enough, Qinglong. Mr. Chen, when shall we set off? May I bring Mr. Wei from the Heavenly Mystery Sect along with us?" Ye Qingning asked.

"You may. However, I have some personal grudges with the Witch Clan, so this trip will definitely involve settling those scores first," Chen Yu said indifferently. "Are you sure you want to come along?"

"I want to go with Mr. Chen," Ye Qingning said decisively.

"I'm going too," Ye Qinglong didn't want to be left behind. "An extra person means extra strength. I also hope Grandfather can recover soon."

"Very well. Everyone prepare; we set off in three days," Chen Yu nodded.

Just at this moment, Chen Yu's cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar landline number.

Chen Yu was a bit puzzled. Who still used a landline to make calls these days? He answered the phone, and a familiar voice came through the receiver: "Is this Mr. Chen? I am Wu Zhangjiang."

"Hello, Secretary Wu." Chen Yu's expression tightened. No wonder it was a landline; it turned out to be Wu Zhangjiang. He was likely calling Chen Yu from his own office.

"Haha, Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. That girl from the Ye family meant no harm. I apologize to you," Wu Zhangjiang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's fine, Secretary Wu. She is right in front of me now," Chen Yu said. "Is there something you need, Secretary Wu?"

"Ah? She's there? That's good," Wu Zhangjiang was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I do have something I'd like to ask Mr. Chen for help with. I have a niece who works at the police station, and she has encountered some troublesome matters..."

"Have her contact me, and we can talk in person," Chen Yu understood as soon as he heard Wu Zhangjiang's words.

It was clear that Wu Zhangjiang's niece had encountered some unsolvable problem. For Wu Zhangjiang to personally lower his status to ask for help, it was no ordinary matter.

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Chen," Wu Zhangjiang said happily. "I will have her come to pick you up immediately."

About half an hour after hanging up the phone, a police SUV stopped at Chen Yu's door. The door opened, and a policewoman in uniform stepped out.

This policewoman stood straight with short, ear-length hair and a steady gait. She had a heroic and spirited image, and her police uniform outlined the lines of her body, making one unable to help but look a few more times.

She was Shi Mengrou, the niece Wu Zhangjiang had mentioned. She walked up to Chen Yu, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Chen Yu."

"That's me," Chen Yu said.

"You are?" Seeing Chen Yu, the expression in Shi Mengrou's eyes couldn't help but pause slightly. She had indeed encountered a difficult problem, and these matters were somewhat supernatural.

Unable to solve the problem, she had sought help from her uncle to see if he had any ideas. Wu Zhangjiang had pushed Chen Yu directly to her, even saying he was a master.

But no matter how she looked at it, she felt Chen Yu was completely incompatible with the image of a true master; he was too young.

"Yes, that's me. Did Director Wu ask you to come find me?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.

"Yes, hello, I am Shi Mengrou." Shi Mengrou only froze for a moment before coming back to her senses. She understood her uncle; if this person didn't have real skills, he wouldn't have let her come to find him.

"Chen Yu." The two shook hands.

"Let's talk in the car. Who are these two?" Shi Mengrou glanced at the Ye siblings.

"These are my friends," Chen Yu smiled and turned his head, "Do you want to come along and observe?"

"Okay." The two didn't stand on ceremony; they wanted to learn more about Chen Yu, as both sides had just confirmed they were on the same side.

Originally, Shi Mengrou wanted to stop them, as this was an ongoing case, but she opened her mouth and still didn't say it. Chen Yu was, after all, recommended by her uncle.

"What kind of difficulty are you facing?" In the car, Chen Yu asked.

"In the last month in this city, there have been five cases of missing children. We have determined that there is a child trafficking gang in the city, and we have been laying a net for the past month, hoping to catch them all in one go."

"However, after a month of both overt and covert investigations, there have been no results. It wasn't until yesterday's case that we saw a clue; this is not an ordinary trafficking case," Shi Mengrou said while driving.

"Hmm, what happened yesterday?" Chen Yu asked.

"Sheng Tian Group is a listed company in Ning City. Its boss, Li Tiansheng, is a representative. His Sheng Tian Group has been rated as an excellent private enterprise for three consecutive years and is also a major taxpayer in our city," Shi Mengrou said. "He has a pair of fraternal twins, six years old this year."

"Were his children kidnapped? Was it for ransom?" Ye Qinglong asked.

Shi Mengrou glanced at Ye Qinglong and did not answer his question, but continued: "Yesterday, his pair of children went missing. The daughter was found, but the son was not."
