"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Brother Chu."
Qiu Wenxing clutched his mouth, his words still slurred, and his tone sounded extremely comical.
He had been slapped twice today, but being able to play with two such exquisite women was worth it!
"You are, Lin Chen, Mr. Lin?"
However, to the surprise of both Qiu Wenxing and Chu He, Chu Yuan, the head of the Chu family, walked up to Lin Chen and, with a respectful demeanor, bowed to Lin Chen.
"Heh, not bad, I am Lin Chen, what about it?"
Seeing Chu Yuan's actions, Lin Chen was also taken aback.
The few people who had come with Chu Yuan were all cultivators in the Body Refining stage, looking menacing and as if they were here to cause trouble!
But unexpectedly, they had come to greet him first?
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am the head of the Chu family, my name is Chu Yuan. I heard about you from Master Zhou."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Chu Yuan bowed to Lin Chen again and explained the situation.
"Master Zhou?"
"Alright, what do you need?"
Hearing the name "Master Zhou," Lin Chen immediately remembered the second-grade alchemist he had met at the Sun family.
"It's like this, Mr. Lin. My daughter is gravely ill. Master Zhou said that in the entire Beichuan, and even the entire Southwest, only Mr. Lin can cure her."
"So, I implore Mr. Lin to come and save her. After success, there will be a generous reward!"
Chu Yuan's face was sincere as he stated his purpose.
"Dad! What are you doing? He bullied me earlier and beat up my men! Hurry up and get revenge for me!"
Before Lin Chen could say anything, Chu He, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it.
He was standing further away and hadn't heard the conversation between Chu Yuan and Lin Chen.
But it was extremely displeasing to him that his own father was bowing and scraping to his enemy!
"Brat, what are you saying? You offended Mr. Lin?"
Hearing his son's words, Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then a inexplicable anger surged into his heart.
How much effort had he put in to find out that Lin Chen was at their family's mall?
He had originally planned to bring his subordinates and personally invite him, to show him utmost respect, coupled with a generous reward. Lin Chen surely wouldn't refuse, right?
But he hadn't expected his unfilial son to say such things?
He wanted him to make a move against Lin Chen?
"Dad, what Mr. Lin? You... know this brat?"
Chu He swallowed, his expression full of disbelief.
"What? Brat? You scoundrel! I'll beat you to death!"
Chu Yuan was furious. He took out his belt from his waist and started lashing at Chu He relentlessly.
"Ouch, Dad, why are you hitting me?"
"Ah! Dad, don't hit me anymore, I was wrong, I was wrong, stop hitting me!"
Chu Yuan was in a rage at this moment, and he was truly hitting with the belt, showing no mercy.
In less than half a minute, several red marks appeared on Chu He's face.
Zhou Qing, who was watching this scene, was also completely stunned.
What was going on?
The head of the Chu family was now publicly disciplining his own son?
And the reason for the scolding was simply because he had offended Lin Chen?
A full three minutes later, Chu Yuan stopped his actions and, panting, approached Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, I apologize. I have failed as a father. Please forgive me!"
"If Mr. Lin is still not appeased, please feel free to hit him!"
Chu Yuan bowed to Lin Chen again, handing the belt he was holding to Lin Chen.
The reason he had beaten Chu He so severely earlier was entirely to appease Lin Chen!
His daughter was in critical condition, and even a renowned physician like Master Zhou had said only Lin Chen could cure her. How could he not understand the importance of this matter?
If Lin Chen wasn't appeased today and refused to save his daughter, then his daughter would truly be beyond saving.
At that time, he would truly have to send his children to the afterlife before him.
"Alright, alright, no need to put on a show here."
"No matter what you want Mr. Lin to do, my junior brother will not help you."
Before Lin Chen could say anything, Zhang Ying stepped forward.
Although she was simple-minded, she could also see that Chu Yuan was just acting.
If he were truly so strict with his son, how could Chu He have done those things earlier?
"What? Mr. Lin, this..."
Hearing Zhang Ying's words, Chu Yuan was instinctively taken aback and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Thump!"
With a dull thud, Chu Yuan also knelt down directly in front of Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, please, help my daughter!"
"As long as you are willing, you can name any condition!"
Chu Yuan's face was full of determination, as if he would not get up until Lin Chen agreed.
"Lin Chen, Sister Zhou Qing, let's go, don't mind him!"
Seeing Chu Yuan's feigned sincerity, Zhang Ying directly grabbed Lin Chen's arm and turned to leave.
As far as she was concerned, even if Chu Yuan knelt and apologized, Chu He's personality clearly indicated he was not a good person.
Such a person was truly not worth Lin Chen's effort to cure!
"Scoundrel! You little bastard, what exactly did you do to them?"
Seeing Lin Chen and the others' retreating backs, Chu Yuan immediately turned around and looked at Chu He, who was standing nervously nearby.
"Dad... I didn't..."
"No, Dad, it's all his fault! He said he was being bullied and that the other party insulted our Chu family, so I brought people over!"
Chu He immediately reacted, pointing at the bewildered Qiu Wenxing and speaking.
Indeed, if Qiu Wenxing hadn't called him over today, how could all these subsequent events have happened?
"No, Young Master Chu, Patriarch Chu, I didn't, I didn't, I...."
Qiu Wenxing was flustered and wanted to say something, but no matter how hard he tried, he didn't know how to speak!
"It's okay, it's okay, young man, no need to rush, take your time."
"Tell me everything, don't think of deceiving me, otherwise, I will chop you into pieces and throw them into the river to feed the fish!"
Chu Yuan stepped forward and patted Qiu Wenxing's shoulder. Although he seemed amiable, the words he spoke caused the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees!
"No, Patriarch Chu, this is truly a misunderstanding. I didn't know you knew him!"
Qiu Wenxing was almost on the verge of tears.
If he had known that some country bumpkin from Zhejiang Province would know the head of the esteemed Chu family, would he have dared to cause trouble?
"Scoundrel! Third Brother! Tie them both up!"
"Old Huang, go immediately and find out Mr. Lin's address, prepare gifts, and tonight, bring these two scoundrels to his door to apologize, carrying a thorny branch as a sign of repentance!"
"I tell you, if Mr. Lin doesn't forgive you, I'll kill you!"
"And you, Chu He, I have been too lenient with you before! If Mr. Lin doesn't forgive you this time, I will sever our father-son relationship!"
Chu Yuan's voice was cold, and his words sent Qiu Wenxing and Chu He into an icy abyss!
