Chapter 992: Seeing Gu Lao Again

~7 min read 1,355 words

"Hahaha, good, I like your personality; we really need people like you." Gu Lao slapped his thigh and laughed heartily: "What kind of place is Dragon Breath? It is the sharp weapon of the nation. We want people who can truly get things done, not some good-for-nothings."

"Don't you worry, two of the three founders of Dragon Breath were brought up by me. If that brat dares to give you trouble, you contact me, and I will make him regret it," Gu Lao said, patting his chest.

"Then thank you in advance, Gu Lao." Chen Yu was delighted; with Gu Lao's guarantee, he could walk sideways in Dragon Breath from now on.

"Speak, what is the matter that brought you here today?" Gu Lao asked.

"I've caused a bit of trouble again," Chen Yu said with a bitter smile.

"Hmm, for someone to require me to step in, the other party's status must definitely not be simple. Tell me, which Prince Party member is it?" Gu Lao instantly guessed that the trouble Chen Yu had stirred up this time was definitely not a small matter.

"The one in charge of energy, the little grandson from Hu Lao's family," Chen Yu said. "Ma Zheng is laying out a new project for the He Group, and it just so happens to be blocked by his family."

"Little Hu?" Gu Lao waved his large hand and said: "No problem. That brat is more than ten years younger than me; he has to call me senior when he sees me. It just so happens that he is in poor health and is recuperating here. I'll just call him over."

"What is wrong with his health?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

"It's from drinking. This guy was a wine barrel when he was young. He is nearly ninety now, and his body no longer allows him to drink, but he is a glutton for it. Over a month ago, he hid from his family and drank half a bottle of white liquor, nearly losing his life. He is recuperating here now," Gu Lao laughed.

"He likes to drink? That is not a big problem. Alcohol is something that isn't impossible to drink; it depends on whether one knows how to drink and how to drink it," Chen Yu smiled.

"Alright then, I'll call him over. No, he is recuperating right now; I'll take you over there," Gu Lao waved his hand.

Gu Lao went out and took Chen Yu with him into the courtyard. At this hour, many people were out for a walk. Seeing Gu Lao, they all greeted him enthusiastically, and they felt curious that Gu Lao was personally taking a young man out. They speculated one after another about what kind of status Chen Yu had to be able to make this old man personally bring him out.

Arriving in front of a detached Chinese-style villa, Gu Lao and Chen Yu went in together.

In front of this villa was a small courtyard where bird's eye chili peppers were planted. This kind of chili is extremely spicy, and the flavor is quite heavy. Chen Yu looked at these chili peppers and revealed a thoughtful expression.

Judging from the hobbies of this Hu Lao whom he had yet to meet, he preferred eating spicy things and had a heavy palate. However, as one gets older, some previous hobbies have to be given up, which must be very uncomfortable for him; otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly gone to drink.

"Gu Lao, why have you come?" An old man nearing sixty years of age saw Gu Lao and hurried to welcome him. He was Hu Lao's eldest son, Hu Jin.

"Hehe, I heard your father's health has been poor, so I came to take a look and, by the way, introduce a famous Yisheng," Gu Lao chuckled: "The person I am introducing has excellent medical skills; you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

"How could I have any?" Hu Jin hurriedly smiled: "I'm too grateful that Gu Lao came. My father just woke up. Gu Lao, please, this is..."

"You can just call him Little Chen. His medical skills are very good. Let's go in," Gu Lao waved his hand.

"Please." Hu Jin was very polite and invited them inside.

The room was very spacious. An old man was sitting in a wheelchair, and a nanny was just about to push him out to bask in the sun. This old man was Hu Lao. As soon as he saw Gu Lao, he struggled to get up.

"Alright, alright, Little Hu, don't get up. The relationship between us shouldn't be so formal," Gu Lao saw his appearance and hurriedly stepped forward to soothe him.

"Old Gu, why have you come? If you had something to say, you could have just sent word, and I would have come to you," Hu Lao looked flattered.

This old gentleman was also a formidable figure, but he had joined the military more than ten years later than Gu Lao and was also much younger in age. But regardless, Gu Lao was his senior, so when he saw Gu Lao, his attitude and everything were very respectful.

"Hehe, look at you now, even walking out the door is difficult. Could I let you run over to find me?" Gu Lao laughed heartily: "Alright, I didn't come for anything this time, just to see you. And I heard your health isn't very good, so I'm introducing a little gentleman to you. He is a Yisheng, and his medical skills are very impressive."

"Really?" Hu Lao looked at Chen Yu with some doubt. Although Chen Yu was very young, this was, after all, someone introduced by Gu Lao, so he nodded slightly at Chen Yu: "Someone introduced by Gu Lao must be very capable. Little gentleman, I leave it to you."

Chen Yu smiled: "Hu Lao is too polite. I have long admired your name. Let me take your pulse first."

"Hehe, good. It really shouldn't be that I'm still making Gu Lao worry about these old bones of mine," Hu Lao smiled and extended his hand.

Actually, with Chen Yu's current level, he could see what Hu Lao's situation was at a glance. However, if he said directly that he could cure him, it would seem a bit too arrogant and give people a feeling of distrust.

Furthermore, there was an element of showing off in it. After all, he was currently asking for help, so he had to put on a show.

Chen Yu extended his hand, carefully took Hu Lao's pulse, and then nodded thoughtfully. Then he took the pulse on the other wrist, and only then did he say: "Gu Lao's body has no major issues, it is just that the stomach and spleen are not doing well."

"And due to Three Yin Yuan Void, the Five Viscera Qi cannot nourish the five viscera, leading to a loss of appetite. Also, you lost your breath a while ago and it took a long time to be resuscitated, right?"

"Yes, yes, how did you know?" Hu Jin answered hurriedly. He looked at Chen Yu in shock, thinking that he was indeed someone brought by Gu Lao. This young man really had some skills; he could truly surprise people.

His father was advanced in age, and the family was worried all day long, fearing that he wouldn't wake up one day. Moreover, his body was becoming increasingly weak. If a master could regulate his body now, he should get better.

"Haha, you can rest assured about the person I brought. Look at me, am I not particularly energetic now? My spirit and energy are both excellent, and don't I look like I've become decades younger?" Gu Lao laughed heartily from the side.

"That's right, Gu Lao looks very energetic. Although you are more than ten years older than my father, the feeling you give is that you are even younger than my father," Hu Jin on the side nodded hurriedly. He said this from the bottom of his heart; Gu Lao really did look much younger now.
