Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Long-Term Poisoning

Chen Yu had just poured the wine when a commercial van pulled up at the mall entrance, and several burly bodyguards barged in.

During this time, there had been no shortage of troublemakers at the mall, and Xie Jiang and his workers had driven away many.

Now, with these men suddenly rushing in, it was clear they were no good.

Chen Yu also became wary, but as he prepared to speak, two of the bodyguards approached him with great respect.

"Mr. Chen, our president would like to invite you over for an important discussion," one said.

Chen Yu frowned, "Who is your president?"

The men did not conceal anything, directly handing over a business card.

Chen Yu took the business card and glanced at it, a slight shock passing through him, as the person inviting him turned out to be Chu Jianghe.

However, judging by the respectful demeanor of these two bodyguards, Chu Jianghe probably wouldn't harm him.

Without saying more, Chen Yu followed the bodyguards into the car.

Xie Jiang and his group, filled with worry, got into a van and followed the commercial vehicle from a distance.

Before long, Chen Yu was brought to an extremely luxurious villa.

Though the villa was the epitome of luxury, almost like a palace, it was located in a very remote area, on the far outskirts of Suzhou City's eastern suburbs.

Nearby, there were even vast rice fields, suggesting Chu Jianghe must have purchased the land from farmers to build the villa himself.

In the expansive hall, Chu Jianghe sat firmly, his face solemn.

"Mr. Chu, you invited me here so late; may I ask why?" Chen Yu inquired.

Holding a cane, Chu Jianghe slowly stood up and extended his wrist towards Chen Yu.

"I've heard of your exceptional medical skills. I've invited you here to treat me. If you can cure my illness, I'm willing to agree to any of your conditions—I'm even open to discussing leaving Suzhou City and retiring," he offered.

Chen Yu was taken aback; he had not expected Chu Jianghe to propose such terms.

"Elder Chu, Suzhou City is there for the taking. Anyone looking to develop or invest here doesn't seem to need anyone's permission. Moreover, a city's financial capital isn't as limited as it appears. If you're willing, Mr. Chu, we could collaborate on some new projects," Chen Yu responded.

Chu Jianghe's body trembled slightly, truly not expecting Chen Yu to have such a vision.

After a moment of silence, Chu Jianghe sat down again.

"Let's focus on the treatment first!" he suggested.

Chen Yu said no more, reaching out to feel Chu Jianghe's pulse. But in the next moment, his expression dramatically shifted.

"Elder sir, were you poisoned thirty years ago?" he asked.

These words caught Chu Jianghe off guard; indeed, during a family conflict thirty years ago, he had been poisoned.

It had been so long, and he thought any residual poison would be long gone. He couldn't believe that Chen Yu could deduce so much from a simple pulse check.

"Are you saying the poison in my body hasn't been completely cleared?" Chu Jianghe queried.

Chen Yu nodded and then took a piece of paper and a pen from the side and wrote down a prescription.

"In fact, the condition your body is experiencing is almost entirely caused by toxins within the body that haven't been cleared, and for these past thirty years, someone has been poisoning your food."

As he said this, Chen Yu deliberately lowered his voice to ensure that only Chu Jianghe could hear him.

Chu Jianghe's eyes widened in shock; he couldn't believe that someone had been meddling with his food all this time.

"Who exactly is it? How dare they treat me this way?"

"That is something you'll have to investigate yourself!" Chen Yu replied somewhat dismissively as he handed over the prescription.

Chu Jianghe's breathing suddenly grew rapid, and a hint of caution appeared in his eyes.

Just as Chen Yu was about to stand up and leave, Chu Jianghe suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Chen, ever since my staff started ordering meals from your place, they've caused an uproar in the previous dining hall and even drove away the former chefs. I find it strange. Is the food from your place really that delicious?"

Others might have found this question rather baffling, given that the two men weren't on familiar terms—especially since Chen Yu was forcibly brought here by Chu Jianghe.

But Chen Yu understood perfectly what Chu Jianghe meant.

"The best time to enjoy food is definitely the moment it comes out of the pan. The meals ordered from my place must certainly taste different by the time they arrive here! If Sect Leader Chu doesn't mind, you could come to my restaurant and taste it fresh on the spot."

The servants nearby were totally confused; the conversation between the two men seemed odd, as if they were forcibly carving out some emotional connection.

Before people could react, Chen Yu had already left the room with Chu Jianghe.

And this time, Chu Jianghe didn't bring anyone with him, just drove an old Beetle car by himself.

The whole way, neither of them spoke, only communicated through strange hand gestures.

Chu Jianghe was already cautious, and upon hearing that he had been poisoned for thirty years, he became somewhat panicked.

If someone could poison him for so long, it proved that there must be a surveillance system around him, possibly even within this car.

It wasn't until they reached the shopping mall that Chu Jianghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Jiang and his companions, who had previously followed them out, also returned to the shopping mall. After ensuring that nothing was amiss with Chen Yu, they dispersed on the spot, but the Sect Leader was still uneasy and sat near Chen Yu with two workers.

Chen Yu didn't say much, just handed the prescription he had prepared to Wang Qingshan, asking him to make a medicinal meal according to the herbs listed.

Chu Jianghe, however, looked flustered.

"Mr. Chen, I've heard that your place is about to be transformed into a hotel. I wonder if there are any rooms available now, as I would like to stay here for a while."

Chen Yu spread his hands: "I'm sorry, but my place is currently under renovation. If Sect Leader Chu would like to stay, I know there's a decent 7 Days Inn nearby."

Chu Jianghe frowned. How could he, the Sect Leader of the Chu Family, possibly stay in such a low-end chain hotel?

But his situation was incredibly dangerous at the moment, and if he didn't lower himself, he might very well lose his life in Suzhou City.

While he hesitated, Chen Yu suddenly took out a business card and handed it to him.

"My father-in-law does have a decent business hotel. If Sect Leader Chu doesn't mind, you could stay there for a few days, and all the food there is supplied by me."

Chu Jianghe's eyes widened; he knew all about the grudge between himself and Tong Ming. And Chen Yu surely was aware of it too. This was clearly a way to make him swallow his pride and seek help from an adversary.
