Chapter 19

C19 – Just Break both Legs

Gu Zhen’s defeat was swift and decisive, unable to lay a hand on Ye Yu.

How could this be happening?!

Baldy Qiang was well aware of Gu Zhen’s prowess. Since taking him under his wing, Gu Zhen had never faltered. Yet today, he seemed utterly powerless.

Who was this young man? How could he wield such formidable strength?

Ye Yu’s gaze shifted to Baldy Qiang. With a mere inclination, he could reduce Baldy Qiang to ashes. Yet, Ye Yu opted not to exert excessive force at this juncture.

Just as fear gripped Baldy Qiang’s heart, a phone interrupted.

Hastily, he answered, “Big Brother Loong? It’s Xiao Qiang. What? You’re nearby? Excellent! Hurry over; I’ve encountered some trouble. Yes, yes...”

Disconnecting the call, Baldy Qiang turned to Ye Yu, a malicious grin spreading across his face. “You’re in for it now, kid. My boss, Big Brother Loong, is here, not me.”

Sunn Ann nearly leapt with excitement at Baldy Qiang’s mention of his boss. “Big Bro Qiang’s boss? Who is he? Ye Yu, you’re finished!”

A formidable boss with a bald head?

Ye Yu’s demeanor remained unchanged.

He observed the lead figure’s menacing scar and arrogant grin, now seated in a wheelchair, indicating injury to his legs. Upon entering, he immediately inquired, “Xiao Qiang, what’s the trouble? Anyone dared to cross you here? Tell me, I’ll take care of it, Brother Loong!”

“Brother Loong, look, it’s this kid. He dared to harm my men, even Old Gu couldn’t stop him!” Baldy Qiang pointed accusingly at Ye Yu.

Sunn Ann’s grin turned sinister as she contemplated Ye Yu’s impending fate.

Panic seized her momentarily, realizing Ye Yu was in deep trouble. A powerful bald figure was not one to provoke lightly, and with Baldy Qiang’s boss, Brother Loong, on scene, word of Ye Yu’s actions would surely spread throughout Jinghai city.

“It’s you, isn’t it? You...” Brother Loong’s voice trembled upon sighting Ye Yu.

Mistaking Brother Loong’s tremor for anger, Baldy Qiang interjected, “Kid, why aren’t you kneeling down? If Brother Loong gets upset, you won’t see tomorrow! You...”

“I’ve heard Vice Principal Wang and my father speak highly of you, a miraculous healer. Seeing you today, it’s evident. Mr. Ye...” Chen Loong’s usual arrogance had vanished.

“Cut to the chase. Speak up,” Ye Yu waved, “What do you need my help with? Your leg?”

Were it not for Ye Yu’s request, Chen Loong might not have been so humble.

“Mr. Ye, my leg’s in bad shape. Other doctors said I’d need months of rest. Can you expedite my recovery?” Chen Loong pleaded.

“Since you’ve learned your lesson, I’ll give you this pill for Elder Chen’s sake. You’ll recover soon,” Ye Yu handed Chen Loong a pea-sized pill.

“Thank you, Mr. Ye. Also, I have another favor to ask,” Chen Loong said, accepting the pill.

“What is it?” Ye Yu inquired.

“There’s an uncle of mine who’s been gravely ill for months. Many so-called genius doctors failed to help. If you could save him, we’d be greatly indebted!”

Ye Yu nodded, “You’ve aided me today. I’ll treat your uncle.”

“Then it’s settled. Tomorrow, someone will fetch you to attend to him!” Chen Loong promised, “Mr. Ye, allow me to escort you home now.”

Ye Yu declined, “No need. My wife might worry if she sees your men escorting me. I’ll manage on my own.”

“Very well. Take care, Mr. Ye!” Chen Loong bid farewell.

Initially suspicious of the pill, Chen Loong realized his standing and swallowed it without hesitation. If Ye Yu intended harm, he wouldn’t resort to such theatrics.

Exiting the KTV, Ye Yu noticed a commotion nearby. Among the harassers stood someone familiar: Si Qin.

“Hey beauty, all alone? How about some company from us?”

“Rare to find such beauty. How about a taste of happiness with us?”

“Come on, let’s go with us, beauty!”

They closed in on Si Qin, who recoiled, nearly falling into someone’s arms.
