After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Fang Zhanbo's breathing became rapid all of a sudden. Originally, he just wanted to bring people here to awe Chen Yu, to let him know who really controlled Jiang City.

But now the situation had completely exceeded his expectations.

"Mr. Chen, it was I who have offended you. From now on in Jiang City, if you need anything, just call me, and I will manage it for you, whether in the mountains or through flames."

Chen Yu didn't say much more, turned around, and returned to the underground market.

Qin Mingxue had been leaning against the door, watching from afar and had also called a few bodyguards to follow behind him. If something unexpected happened, they would go out and snatch Chen Yu back.

But she had not seen clearly what happened, and Chen Yu returned swaggeringly, while Fang Zhanbo still had the face of an eggplant.

"Mr. Chen, are you alright?" Qin Mingxue hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Chen Yu shook his head, chuckled lightly, and then stepped down from the stairs.

Zhang Hu and Liu Zhongxiang had already completed all the transactions, and even had their accounts sorted out, sitting there waiting for Chen Yu, not daring to go anywhere else.

This time, they both had made a good profit.

formerly, when they used to traffic old items from the small town, they would casually find a place to sell them off in bulk at very low prices.

But now, by systematically and on a larger scale purchasing, not only had their income increased two to three times but they had also become extremely popular in the small town.

Before, when they sold supplies in the small town, there were always some complaints, and some even called them robbers outright.

But this trip, everyone treated them as saviors, continually thanking them as they received the supplies, some even kneeling on the ground to kowtow to them.

This made them feel an unprecedented respect and sense of accomplishment.

When Chen Yu came over, the two of them immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Mr. Chen, the vehicles are ready. Shall we set off now?"

Chen Yu nodded, turned to say a few words to Qin Mingxue, and then left directly.

The two trucks were packed full, carrying nothing but supplies, so they were very careful on their way back.

A large part of the route was mountainous roads, and any mishap, like a vehicle rollover, could have spoiled the hard-earned supplies they were bringing back.

After travelling for the better part of a day, they finally made it back to the town just before darkness fell.

All the villagers were neatly waiting at the entrance of the town, eagerly looking forward to the supplies.

However, behind the villagers, on an empty space, a large crowd gathered, looking very anxious.

"Doctor Ma, do you really know what you're doing? You aren't going to treat this person to death, are you?"

"Doctor, what medicine did you use? Why hasn't the person woken up after so long?"

"Ma Gensheng, you are the only doctor on this bench, can't you even cure a common cold?"

The shouts soon attracted many onlookers, and even the villagers waiting in line to collect supplies came over to see.

Chen Yu just got out of the vehicle when he saw this scene.

He frowned, pushed through the crowd and walked over, only to see a teenager lying on the ground gasping for air.

His body was covered in pustules, his complexion deathly pale, showing no sign of blood color.

Chen Yu was shocked and quickly squatted down to grab the boy's pulse.

Ma Gensheng was not pleased. As the only doctor in the village, he had to protect his reputation and absolutely could not allow others to come and treat patients.

"Kid, can you stop causing trouble here? If you kill a patient, will you take responsibility?"

Those words stirred discontent among the bystanders.

Many of them had seen Chen Yu and all of the supplies they were now receiving were thanks to him.

"Ma Gensheng, stop spouting nonsense. Mr. Chen here is our town's great benefactor. Apologize to him right now."

Liu Zhongxiang scolded and then came over with his daughter.

Still full of arrogance, Ma Gensheng retorted, "Liu, don't you forget that it's my medicine that cured your ailment! Why are you bending the elbow the wrong way?"

Liu Zhongxiang rolled his eyes; he wasn't exactly fond of the medicine Ma Gensheng had provided.

If it hadn't been for Chen Yu's timely arrival, he might well have been tortured to death by Ma Gensheng's treatment.

He didn't say much, but sat down next to Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, this child has lost his entire family and is the only one left. Can you find a way to save his life?"

Chen Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, "It's too early to say. I can only first make him regain consciousness. Whether his life can be saved depends on whether we can get the medicine."

As if he had heard a joke, Ma Gensheng suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his belly.

"Young man, you are boasting without any basis. Look at the state he's in! How can you possibly know? It would be impressive enough if you could simply reduce the sores on his body."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, thinking that the town's public facilities really needed some serious reform. With people like Ma Gensheng causing chaos, it's likely that many people would suffer.

"Mr. Ma, how about we make a bet? If I can cure this child, from now on you cannot practice medicine in the town anymore! You will have to obediently work as a pharmacy assistant."

Ma Gensheng's eyes widened in shock, "Young man, you're far too arrogant. Do you even know where you are to talk like that? I am the only doctor here, and my medical skills are hereditary."

Chen Yu did not want to waste any more words with him.

"He simply took a silver needle from his body and was about to pierce it."

"Wait a moment!" Ma Gensheng suddenly stopped him, "What if you can't cure him?"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, "If I can't cure him, then I will leave and never set foot here again."

"Good!" Ma Gensheng agreed emphatically, "Everyone, bear witness for me!"

As soon as those words were spoken, the silver needle in Chen Yu's hand had already made its descent.

After three needles, the child suddenly sat up, spurting out a mouthful of black blood.

His formerly ashen face gradually regained color, and the child's breathing became steady.

This stunned those around them, especially Ma Gensheng.

He couldn't have dreamed that Chen Yu, with just three needles, could bring someone back from the brink of death.

He had previously diagnosed the child, whose condition was not only severe but most of his tissue had necrotized, and there were more than a dozen types of fungi in the sores on his body.

Under such circumstances, even Hua Tuo, if alive, wouldn't have been able to treat him.

Most importantly, there was absolutely no medicine for related diseases in the town!

Chen Yu didn't care about that and simply pressed gently with his palms on the child's chest and abdomen.

As mouthful after mouthful of black blood was spit out, the child's complexion underwent a dramatic change.
