Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Ginkgo in the Snow

Chen Yu didn't say anything more, Tuan Tuan had been with him since she was little, although she had endured some hardships, her mind was much more mature than other children her age.

She was still capable of handling things at school by herself.

Chen Yu ruffled Tuan Tuan's little head, "No matter what happens at school, you must tell Daddy when you come back."

Tuan Tuan pouted and made a face.

"I've already told Mommy though, you can ask her tonight!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Smart little devil."

After joking around for a bit, Chen Yu called the teachers at school to ask about Tuan Tuan's situation before going back to sleep.

The next morning at nine o'clock, Chen Yu made his way to the shop unhurriedly.

The shop had now been registered as a business and was considered an independent company.

Usually, Chen Guang and Li Lan would keep an eye on it, completely freeing Chen Yu from worries.

When he arrived, he found Tong Ming and Li Kaiquan taking up a couple of tables with some bodyguards, leisurely eating braised noodles.

"Son-in-law, come over here, Old Master Li has something to ask you," Tong Ming called out, pulling out a chair beside him.

Chen Yu didn't dare to dally and quickly took a seat.

"Old Master, if there's anything, you could've just called me, why come in person?"

Li Kaiquan pulled out several business cards from his pocket.

"This is a bit embarrassing to talk about, so it has to be in person."

Chen Yu glanced over the business cards laid on the table and noticed they all belonged to significant figures from the capital.

The common feature among these people's photos was a dull bluish-gray color on their foreheads.

At first glance, the bluish-gray color didn't seem like much of a problem, but when considering their ages, it was the harbinger of their demise.

"Old Master, you're not thinking of having me treat these people, are you?"

Li Kaiquan gave an embarrassed smile, "These are all old friends of mine, they all took the same medicine as me before, and now each person's health has deteriorated! You cured me, so I thought maybe you could cure them too."

Chen Yu collected all the business cards, "Their illnesses are not hard to treat, but there's a particular medicinal ingredient that's extremely hard to find, I'm afraid..."

Li Kaiquan instantly became excited, "Don't worry about the medicinal ingredient, these people have assets totaling more than ten trillion, no matter how rare the ingredient, they can find it."

Chen Yu hesitated, "This ingredient isn't something you can find just because you have money! Have you ever heard of the Snow Ginkgo?"

"Snow Ginkgo!" Li Kaiquan's eyes widened, "I've heard of it, does their illness require this particular ingredient?" Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Tong Ming, sitting nearby, was also startled, "That's problematic, Snow Ginkgo is even rarer than the Snow Lotus, it's said that someone saw it on the northern slopes of the Himalayas decades ago, but that was many years ago."

Chen Yu let out a deep breath, "The ingredient does exist, it's just that in recent decades no one has been able to climb to the summit from the northern slopes of the Himalayas, hence no one has seen it since."

The despondent look on Li Kaiquan's face was once again filled with hope.

"I will send them a message right away, to organize a team to climb the northern slopes," he declared.

Chen Yu quickly interjected, "Old Master might not be aware, while there are many routes up the Himalayas, some are akin to hell on earth, no one is willing to take them!"

"The Snow Ginkgo grows in an area that is a chasm, any who choose to climb from there, none have returned alive."

Li Kaiquan let out a long sigh, "Looks like my old pals can only die slowly in agony."

"That's not how you should put it!" Chen Yu leaned back in his chair, "Maybe I can make the trip, but such a life-risking task comes with a high price from me."

"No problem! All these guys have left is money, they're willing to give as much as..."

"I disagree!" Tong Ming directly interrupted Li Kaiquan, "We've already said it's a deadly task, how can I let my son-in-law do it? What if something goes awry, what about my daughter?"

Li Kaiquan suddenly felt a bit awkward, unsure of what to do.

Chen Yu cleared his throat twice, then leaned in close to Tong Ming's ear.

"Dad, actually that place is very safe, I just said that to drive up the price."

Tong Ming steadied his emotions, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Chen Yu hastily patted his chest to assure, "I will definitely come back safely."

Tong Ming was silent for a while, then looked toward Li Kaiquan.

"Old Li, remember this, my son-in-law is risking his life for you guys, after the task is accomplished, you know what to do."

Li Kaiquan excitedly grabbed Tong Ming's hand, "Rest assured, I still have that much sense, how could I mistreat your son-in-law."

Chen Yu then asked about the specific conditions of the people on the business card and proceeded to prescribe medication for each of them.

Afterward, he prepared to head to the Himalayas.

Tong Family Private Airport.

Tong Ming looked at Chen Yu with complex emotions and patted his shoulder.

"If you find that something's not right, come back immediately, don't try to be tough in that kind of place."

Chen Yu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring back the Snow Ginkgo, and besides, your health also needs this medicinal ingredient."

Tong Ming sighed softly, "Alright, when you come back this time, those old guys in the Imperial Capital should sign a contract with you, and then you'll probably have to establish another company in the Imperial Capital."

Chen Yu was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Tong Ming to have already planned out his future for him.

Before he could speak, Tong Ming took out an identity tag.

"After you return from the Himalayas, just go directly to the Imperial Capital! This is an identity tag from a racing team of the Tong Family, help manage it when you get there."

Chen Yu took the identity tag and boarded the plane directly.

For many extreme sports enthusiasts, climbing the Himalayas is an essential goal in their lives.

Therefore, every year, many lovers of extreme sports come to the foot of the Himalayas.

There's even a small town that has formed in this place.

By the time Chen Yu arrived, he found it to be extremely bustling, with none of the desolation one would expect from a high-altitude area.

Just as he entered the town, Chen Yu saw two strong men sitting by a stone table, arm wrestling.

Veins popped on their faces as their bodies trembled continuously, indicating that it would be quite some time before a victor could be determined.

Chen Yu just glanced at them and went on his way toward the center of the town.
