Chapter 554: A One Hundred Million Consultation Fee
"What kind of attitude is that?" Ye Qinglong was instantly enraged; he was not one to indulge this woman: "Mr. Chen coming to help you is a favor; no one owes you anything. If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll slap you across the face."
"Who are you? Someone, throw these people out! Contact the important leaders immediately. Have the taxes our Sheng Tian Group paid all these years gone to the dogs? You sent such a bunch of weirdos to solve my problem?" Wang Shu shrieked.
"Are you sure you don't need help?" Chen Yu stared at the woman.
"I'm sure, absolutely, get out right now!" Wang Shu roared.
"Go back and tell your uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, but that I can't; they don't need it." Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at Shi Mengrou.
"Mr. Chen, this..." Shi Mengrou was startled. What would they do if Chen Yu left?
"Your uncle? Which uncle is yours?" Wang Shu asked.
"Madam, Officer Shi's uncle is Wu Zhangjiang," someone nearby whispered a reminder.
"Ah, this, is it Secretary Wu?" The arrogance on Wang Shu's face instantly froze.
She rubbed her hands, not knowing whether to smile or not, and that expression eventually stiffened into an unsightly look on her face.
"Miss Shi, I'm really sorry. I, I didn't know you were..." Wang Shu finally apologized with a fawning face, her previous arrogance having long since vanished without a trace.
No matter how arrogant she was, it was impossible for her not to know Wu Zhangjiang. Although her family had strong connections and her husband held the title of a representative, they were not qualified to associate with Wu Zhangjiang.
Yet she never imagined that the young policewoman before her was actually Wu Zhangjiang's niece. If she continued to hold her previous attitude and curse people, that would be truly ungrateful.
"If my uncle were an ordinary person, do you mean to say your own children wouldn't need saving?" Shi Mengrou's face was livid.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I'm truly sorry, Miss Shi, I was just too anxious earlier." Wang Shu wore a fawning expression.
"Chen Yu, shall we go in and take a look?" Shi Mengrou didn't want to bicker with her and turned to look at Chen Yu.
"We can go in, and saving her is no problem, but you must prepare a consultation fee of one hundred million," Chen Yu said indifferently: "Once the fee arrives, the person will be saved immediately."
"What? One hundred million? Whose consultation fee is that expensive?" Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Wang Shu exploded again.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford one hundred million, but she had always believed it was just a medical visit; was such an expensive fee necessary? Moreover, Chen Yu's background was unknown, and she didn't believe Chen Yu could solve her problem.
"Chen Yu, you're here to assist," Shi Mengrou said, feeling a mix of amusement and frustration.
However, given Wang Shu's attitude earlier, she also felt she deserved to be taught a lesson.
"I, Chen Yu, am giving Secretary Wu face. I didn't come here to listen to others acting high and mighty while cursing people," Chen Yu said indifferently: "For a soul lost to Soul-Seeking, the optimal time to retrieve it is forty-eight hours; it will be very difficult after that period."
"But a one hundred million consultation fee is too much. Even hiring experts from Shengjing wouldn't cost that much, and besides, I don't even know if you can save my daughter." Wang Shu still didn't believe him.
"Then look at your daughter's abdomen and back to see if there are purple spots—three on the abdomen and six on the back," Chen Yu said indifferently: "These purple spots are caused by stagnant Qi and blood after the soul is lost."
"If they spread from the back to the front, and six spots also grow on the abdomen, that is a sign that the soul has left the body for too long and cannot return to the flesh," Chen Yu said: "At that point, even an Immortal would find it hard to save her."
"Quick, go take a look!" Wang Shu panicked and hurriedly ordered people to check.
A Yisheng rushed to the intensive care unit to look. A moment later, he ran out, looking shocked, and said: "Madam, it's true. There are six purple spots on the back and three on the abdomen."
"You, how did you know?" Wang Shu was stunned and asked, stuttering.
"Chen Yu was strongly recommended by my uncle. My cousin encountered a special situation a while ago, and they couldn't find any problems either, almost transferring her to Shengjing. Later, Chen Yu came and solved it all at once."
Shi Mengrou frowned and said: "So, Ms. Wang, if Mr. Chen cannot solve this problem, I don't think it will be of any use to find anyone else."
"This, this..." Wang Shu was dumbfounded. She hadn't expected this unassuming young man to be so capable, and she truly regretted her attitude from earlier.
"One hundred million. You have ten minutes to consider," Chen Yu stood to the side.
"Chen Yu, this is a matter of life and death," Shi Mengrou was taken aback; Chen Yu was playing for real.
"If she doesn't value her own biological children, can she expect others to?" Chen Yu locked his brows: "If I encounter someone fated, I will help as a duty, but some people are not worth my help."
Ye Qingning looked at Chen Yu and sighed inwardly. If only she hadn't had that attitude when she first met Chen Yu.
"Fine, one hundred million. Here is the check." Wang Shu gritted her teeth, called her husband to explain the situation, and then directly produced a check.
Chen Yu took the check and handed it to Shi Mengrou: "Get it cashed later and donate it to the charity organization here."
"You..." Wang Shu gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Yu, her expression quite unpleasant.
This action of Chen Yu's was a slap in her face. Although she was used to being arrogant, she now had to swallow her pride and endure it.
"You, are you serious?" Shi Mengrou was also shocked. This was one hundred million, a fortune an ordinary person couldn't accumulate in several lifetimes, and Chen Yu just turned around and donated it?
"What I want to say is, I'm not short on money. Don't use that nouveau riche face to order me around," Chen Yu said indifferently: "Donate it. Any name will do."
Shi Mengrou gave a bitter smile. This Chen Yu was truly a high-and-mighty character.
However, she helplessly accepted the check. Someone who didn't take one hundred million seriously was definitely not short on money.
"Let's go in and take a look," Chen Yu said indifferently only after accepting the check.
The group then walked into the room. Inside the ward, a five or six-year-old girl was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen tube. All her physical indicators were normal, but she remained in a deep sleep, unable to wake up.
"How is it?" Shi Mengrou looked at Chen Yu.
"It is the condition of a lost soul." Chen Yu reached out to flip the little girl's eyelids and nodded affirmatively.
"Then what should we do?" Shi Mengrou asked.
She didn't understand these matters, so she didn't know what to do.
"Soul-Seeking," Chen Yu spat out the two words. He reached out to pull off the nutrient solution being infused into the girl, then turned his head and instructed: "Get a drop of blood from her closest kin, and also ask for her birth date and time, as well as her childhood name."
"Okay." Shi Mengrou nodded and turned to go out. A moment later, she returned with a test tube containing a drop of her mother's fresh blood.
