Chapter 49 - Exchanging Lives
"Late gastric cancer."
Only Zhou Peisheng could hear that those four words were referring to the late stage of stomach cancer.
Zhou Peisheng was startled that other than himself and his personal doctor, there was absolutely no other person who would know of his illness. In the event that his condition was exposed, the other families would definitely take the chance to deal with the Zhou Family, thus it had always been a secret, he did not even tell his own son.
How could Chen Yao, who had never met him before, tell that he was in the advanced stages of gastric cancer?
Seeing Zhou Peisheng's expression, Chen Yao knew he was not mistaken.
"pavilion will trade for ten years of your life.
Chen Yao's next sentence made Zhou Peisheng even more excited, as if he was struck by lightning.
The doctor had told himself that there was no cure for his illness. There were only a few months left, and waiting for death was the most torturous thing.
It was like someone handing you a delicious chicken leg one day when you were about to starve to death on the street. The happiness at that moment was indescribable.
Zhou Peisheng's entire body was trembling.
"If you really are capable, then of course I'll switch."
At this time, Chen Yao understood even more how monstrous a person's life and death was. Someone as strong as the number one person in the Jiang Bei territory, Zhou Peisheng, someone who had lived for 70 years, in front of death, wasn't he still going to lower his head to him?
"However, your Zhou family still owes me an explanation and an explanation for what happened tonight."
"Hahaha."
In Jiangbei City, there was actually someone who dared to ask Zhou Peisheng for an explanation. Even if it was Li Zhan, Tang Hengqiu, they were merely on the same level as him, so what right did an idiot like Chen Yao have to ask Zhou Peisheng for an explanation?
Immediately, everyone started laughing at Chen Yao for having lost his mind.
Only Old Man Li, who was at the side, seemed to have understood something.
"Father, why would my Zhou family lower our heads to a rash youth? So what if we can fight?" Why must my Zhou family give him an explanation? With a single word from my big brother, he will die a graveless death. "
The person who came was Zhou Peisheng's second son, Zhou Guangcai. The big brother that he spoke of was the Jiang Zhou Province's envoy official, Zhou Guangwen. He did not know that his father had stomach cancer, nor did he know where Chen Yao's confidence lay.
Chen Yao did not care about Zhou Guangcai, and spoke to Old Man Zhou.
"I've already given you the chance. Just because of your son's words, I want your son to kneel in front of me and beg me. You can come and find me when you think clearly.
Chen Yao did not spare Zhou Peisheng another glance, turned and walked out of pavilion.
Old Man Li Zhan and Li Mengran hurried to keep up.
No one had ever dared to speak to Zhou Peisheng like that before, but Chen Yao simply did not put Zhou Peisheng in his eyes at all, and Li Zhan, who was one of the three Northern River Elders, was even more respectful towards Chen Yao.
pavilion was smashed, Unparalleled Iron Palm was defeated in three moves.
Tonight's battle would be Chen Yao's famous battle. From today onwards, Jiangbei would have one more Flood Dragon. When he rushed out of Jiangbei, he would be able to become a True Dragon.
From tonight onwards, Chen Yao's name would become the topic of discussion for the upper class in Jiangbei Province.
Chen Yao smashed the pavilion and then openly left in front of the Old Man Zhou. No one dared to stop him and no one could stop him. This was the first time that the arrogant Zhou family of the Jiangbei City had experienced such humiliation.
They could only watch as Chen Yao left.
However, the most intense emotion in Zhou Peisheng's heart was not anger, but rather, a desire to live.
He looked at Li Zhan, who was following behind Chen Yao, seemingly deep in thought.
When he had met Li Zhan half a year ago, Li Zhan's body was even worse than his. Especially when he had participated in a real war, when his injuries were in a state of upheaval, there were many times that Li Zhan had spent his days in bed.
Suddenly, he remembered the rumors from a few days ago.
Li Zhan, who was about to become a vegetable, was saved by a young man's pill in the hospital.
However, after seeing Li Zhan today, he began to believe this rumor.
Just now, Li Zhan's name for Chen Yao seemed to be Godly Doctor Chen?
Furthermore, Chen Yao was able to tell at a glance that he was a dying man, and even his illness was described with such precision. Could it be that this kid really had some kind of mysterious medical skill?
He was like a dying man who had fallen into the water. Even if he saw a blade of straw, he still wanted to catch it.
That's right, Chen Yao was right. He had no other choice. Even if it was just a sliver of hope, he would still have to seize it.
"Sir, please wait."
Finally, just as Chen Yao was about to get on the carriage, Zhou Peisheng spoke out.
A smile surfaced on Chen Yao's lips. He knew that no one would want to wait for death, but he did not pay attention to them and entered Li Mengran's Maserati s car.
"Bam." With a sound, the car door was tightly shut. To Zhou Peisheng, it was as if he was paying attention to the door that he lived in.
"Sir, please wait."
No one expected Zhou Peisheng to suddenly run towards the Maserati and stand in front of it, bending his waist.
"Today, our Zhou family is at fault."
What?
When Zhou Peisheng was bowing and apologizing to Chen Yao, the whole audience was silent, even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone was so shocked that they even stopped breathing.
Shock, this was absolutely shock.
The impact of this was equivalent to dropping an atomic bomb on the people of Jiangbei City.
Zhou Peisheng was Zhou Peisheng, the Jiang Prefecture's local tyrant. Zhou Peisheng had lived a legendary life, especially as a red-crowned merchant. His eldest son was even a government official in the Huangjiang Province.
Normally, only people would grovel to Zhou Peisheng, but in Zhou Peisheng's entire life, he had never bowed his head to anyone before.
And recently, Zhou Peisheng had actually lowered his head for the sake of a young man who was still wet behind the ears?
Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched this scene, unable to believe their own eyes.
He knew his father's temper very well, and had never bowed his head to anyone in his entire life. When Zhou Peisheng was still a child, the Japanese would point their guns at him and make him kneel, but he stood as firm as a hundred-year-old tree. The scars and bayonets on his body were proof of that.
Today, however, he bowed his head.
"Father."
Zhou Guangcai quickly ran in front of Zhou Peisheng and grabbed his wrist, "Father, why did you admit your wrongs to a stinking brat? "My Zhou family will never do anything wrong in Jiangbei. As long as my brother is still in power, my Zhou family will never have to lower our head to anyone."
"Whap."
No one expected Zhou Peisheng to suddenly slap Zhou Guangcai.
"Bastard."
"Dad, you?"
Zhou Guangcai covered his face, his eyes filled with disbelief, he even suspected that his father had gone mad?
