Chapter 128 - Hand Over the Money, Hand Over the Life (2)

He walked into the Bahuang house.

Chen Yu did not stop all the way. He went straight to the main villa and pushed the door open.

In the empty hall, there was only an expressionless man standing in the middle. “Mr. Chen, you’re here.”

“I’m here. I shouldn’t be here, but I’m still here.”

“No, I didn’t say that.” The man shook his head.

“Hurry up and lead the way. I can’t find any humor in talking to men of sacrifice like you.”

“Okay, please follow me. The Elder is in the study on the second floor.” After saying that, the man turned around and led the way.

Chen Yu followed behind and observed the house renovation at the same time.

It was not luxurious, but it was also expensive and exquisite.

With the income of a Bureau Chief, he should not be able to afford to live in such a manor.

It seemed that in the Bahuang family, Bahuang Zhen’s status was relatively high.

“If I have the chance, I must take a look at the Bahuang family’s headquarters in the Capital…”

As his thoughts wandered, he stepped onto the second floor and came to the door of the study.

“Wait a moment.”

The man took half a step forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Knock, knock!

“Elder, Chen Yu is here.”

“Let him in.” Bahuang Zhen’s voice came from inside the room.

“From what he said, you can tell that he’s an old policeman.” Chen Yu smacked his lips, pushed open the wooden door, and walked into the study.

He saw Bahuang Zhen’s back facing him as he flipped through piles of documents.

Bang!

The servant closed the door.

There were only two people left in the room that was not considered small.

“Sit down.” Bahuang Zhen did not even raise his head. “Wait for me to finish approving this case.”

“Sure.” Chen Yu casually found a seat and sat down. He crossed his legs. “Do you have tea?”

“Yes.”

“No, thank you.”

“…”

“Do you have any Cola?”

“Yes.”

“No, thank you.”

“…” Bahuang Zhen turned around and looked at Chen Yu.

“Hi.”Chen Yu smiled and greeted him. Then, he asked, “Do you have any old soda?”

“…No.”

“Then, I’ll have that.”

“…What exactly do you want?”

“I want to talk to you about something. You know everything, right?”

Bahuang Zhen continued to flip through the documents. “Don’t try to intimidate me. No matter what, the Bahuang family will not accept your exorbitant demand.”

“What you said makes sense…” Chen Yu nodded. “But right now, I just want to drink old soda.”

“…” Bahuang Zhen said in a deep voice, “Lai Fu.”

“Yes, Elder.” The door was pushed open, and the man who led the way walked in.

“Go and buy a few bottles of old soda.”

“Yes.”

The man bowed and left.

Not long after, he brought five bottles of soda.

Two bottles of ice, two bottles of room temperature, and one bottle of heated soda. He did not give Chen Yu a chance to ‘nitpick’ at all.

“Thank you.”

Actually, Chen Yu did not want to nitpick at all.

A butler who had no grudges with him, why would he ‘poke’ him?

He took the soda and opened a bottle of ice. Chen Yu drank as he waited for the Bahuang Zhen shock to finish his work.

More than 20 minutes later.

Bahuang Zhen closed the document, rubbed his face, pushed the chair over, and looked at Chen Yu. “I’m done here. It’s time for us to talk.”

“Where should we start?”

“Let’s get to the point.”

“Okay.” Chen Yu put down the soda bottle and went straight to the point. “As I told you yesterday, I can save Bahuang Yao. Name your price.”

“It seems that you got something in the alien realm…” Bahuang Zhen narrowed his eyes.

“This is different from the question we’re talking about now.” Chen Yu took out a cigarette and lit it. “Just tell me how much your Bahuang family can pay.”

“Empty words. How can I believe you?”

“I’m a grand scholar with a family and a business. I’ve been admitted to Beijing University and my future is limitless. What’s the benefit of lying to you?”

“What if you can’t save her?”

“I’ll refund the money to you.” Chen Yu spread his hands. “Where are you going to buy medicine? The pharmacy owner can’t guarantee an invalid refund, right? I’m sincere enough.”

“Then…” Bahuang Zhen pondered for a moment. “You make the offer first.”

“Shall I make the offer?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.” Chen Yu stood up and paced around the study twice. He turned around abruptly and gestured ‘eight’ at Bhang Zhen. “I don’t care how much you want. Eight Million.”

“…” Bahuang Zhen’s eyelids twitched. “Four million.”

Chen Yu: “Nine Million.”

Bahuang Zhen: “Five million.”

Chen Yu: “Ten million.”

Bahuang Zhen: “…”

After a long silence, Bahuang Zhen’s face was expressionless. “I’ve never seen anyone negotiate like this.”

“Haven’t you seen it now?”

“…”

“It’s ten million now. If you keep talking, it’ll be eleven million. There’s no need to worry about selling good stuff. If I wasn’t afraid of trouble, I might be able to sell it at twenty million on the black market.”

“No one in the black market will believe your medicine. You don’t dare to give it to them for testing,” Bahuang Zhen retorted.

“Then I can keep it. When I’m stronger, I can go to a certain big shot’s private trade fair and sell it. The price will be higher.”

“…”

Bahuang Zhen continued to be silent.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry. He sat back on the chair, knocked on his legs, and puffed out smoke.

“…Eight million.” After a long while, Bahuang Zhen spoke.

“Eleven million.” Chen Yu was a man of his word and immediately raised the price.

Ka, ka…

Bahuang Zhen clenched his fists.

Buzz– Buzz–

But at this moment, a text message came from his phone.

Bahuang Zhen picked it up and saw only two words on the screen — give it to him.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Bahuang Zhen put down his phone and nodded. “11 million, deal. If you are trying to fool the Bahuang family, you will have to bear the consequences.”

“Your Bahuang family is so awesome, how would I dare to do that?” Chen Yu exhaled lightly. Amidst the thick smoke, he lowered his voice. “To be cautious, I still want to ask you something. Answer me honestly.”

“Speak.”

“Are you loyal to your family… or to the country?”

Bahuang Zhen looked deeply at Chen Yu.”…I’m loyal to my family. My family is loyal to the country.”

“You’re good.” After extinguishing the cigarette, Chen Yu stood up and straightened his collar. “Is there a toilet here? I’ll go get the medicine for you.”

Bahuang Zhen: “?”

Chen Yu: “What’s with the expression on your face?”

Bahuang Zhen: “Get the medicine… Go to the toilet to get it?”

Chen Yu: “Don’t I have to do it now? It’s fresh and has a good effect.”

“…” Bahuang Zhen sat on the chair and was silent for a while. Then, he reached out his hand. “Go out and turn left. It’s at the end of the corridor.”

“Thank you.”

Pushing the door open and leaving, Chen Yu and the man standing behind the door nodded. Then, they walked around and entered the toilet.

“Wow, a transparent bathtub. These men of sacrifice are quite interesting…”

After locking the door, Chen Yu carefully observed a few rounds to make sure that there was no surveillance device. Then, he took out a dagger, lifted his shirt, and pressed it against the skin on his abdomen.

“I really should install a zipper. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome.”

Pfft!

The sharp blade pierced through and slowly cut open.

Amidst the dripping blood, Chen Yu took out a tube of T-D Diluent.

[Damage: Qi and Blood +427]

[Damage: Qi and Blood +369…]

Soon, the wound healed.

Chen Yu washed the medicine under the faucet, sprinkled some disinfectant, and continued to rinse.

Bahuang Zhen was an old policeman, so he should be very sensitive to blood.

If the police equipment was used, it was very easy to find the chemical residue of blood on the needle.

Therefore, it was a good idea to use disinfectant to destroy the traces on the surface.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Yu finished cleaning up, put away the dagger, and returned to the study room of Bahuang Zhen. With a swing of his right hand, he squeezed out the tube of T-D Diluent.

“That’s it?”

“That’s it.”

“Yes.” Bahuang Zhen nodded. He reached out his hand to take it, but Chen Yu dodged it.

“What’s the rush?” Chen Yu shook the medicine. “Hand over the money, hand over the life.”
