Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1773: Chapter 1773: Storm Over Fengman Tower (10)

”You guys go out first.”

Ah Mu exchanged a glance with the people around him and tactfully exited.

The room that was crowded just now suddenly became spacious, so quiet that a falling pin could be heard.

”How do you feel?”

Man Yue stared at her, his black and white eyes carrying a vague hint of flowing light. After a while, his pale lips moved: ”Where’s Yan Ya?”

Chuzheng: ”...”

That question again!

Yan Ya is your dad!

”He left.”

Man Yue’s body subtly shivered, then suddenly used his limbs to climb off the bed.

Chuzheng quickly reached out to stop him: ”What are you doing?”

”I... need to find him.” As soon as Man Yue moved, his whole body was in pain, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

”Do you know where he went?” Chuzheng rudely pressed him back: ”Where will you search? There are people outside still after you.”

Man Yue froze there.

After a while, the young man whispered, ”I want to see Yan Ya.”

”See what Yan Ya? You need to heal now.”

Chuzheng called someone to get the doctor. Sure enough, an unfamiliar presence made the boy emotionally agitated and very resistant, his expression... as if the person was the murderer of his whole family.

The viciousness and resistance on his face always reminded people of a caged beast awaiting taming.

Chuzheng raised her hand and chopped on the resisting Man Yue’s neck, catching him as he fell, then calmly looked at the dumbfounded doctor: ”Why are you standing there?”

Doctor: ”...”

The doctor quickly checked on Man Yue.

”Just need more medicine for the external injuries, but the internal ones...” The doctor’s expression seemed off.

Chuzheng: ”Didn’t you say it wasn’t serious before?”

The doctor broke out in cold sweat: ”Yes... yes, I indeed thought it was not serious before, but today somehow, the young master’s condition feels weaker than before, as if the internal injuries worsened.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Quack!

Chuzheng sent Ah Mu to call other doctors to examine.

Several doctors came and examined and could only say the same thing: ”The young master’s meridians are damaged. He can be taken care of, but in the future...”

He will be a cripple.

Chuzheng: ”...”

The first doctor who examined him swore it wasn’t like this when he first looked.

Chuzheng’s eyes darkened as she looked at the boy on the bed.

He had been here all along, with people taking care of him, never waking up... and just woke up now...

And he was emotionally agitated just now.

Or was he already like this before, and they just didn’t notice?

But this doctor is the best in the city, shouldn’t make such mistakes. Something must have caused him to miss it.

”It’s good that he’s fine,” Chuzheng’s expression remained calm: ”First recover his physical health.”

The several doctors, relieved, quickly discussed the best course of treatment.

-

Man Yue awoke in the dead of night, and when Chuzheng arrived, he had already smashed half the room, standing in the corner, glaring at them with a hostile gaze.

People from Fengman Building stood aside, wanting to step forward but didn’t dare.

Seeing Chuzheng arrive, they immediately exhaled a breath of relief.

”What happened?”

”We don’t know... ” Lou Zhong was about to cry: ”He suddenly woke up, ignored the obstruction, jumped down, insisted on seeing Yan Ya. When we stopped him, he got very angry.”

Chuzheng met the boy’s gaze and felt a strange sensation, as if being targeted by something.

”I, want, to, see, Yan, Ya!”

The boy’s lips moved as he said these words one by one.

Chuzheng ignored the mess on the floor and walked toward the boy.

”Don’t come near!” The boy suddenly roared angrily, his body pressed against the wall, a trace of fear visible under his fierce exterior.

He’s afraid.

Having just experienced a massacre of his family, he might have witnessed it firsthand, and his own body sustained unexplained injuries, leading to the damage of his meridians. His reaction was understandable.

”You’re safe now,” Chuzheng patiently said: ”Yan Ya is also fine, trust me.”

Chuzheng extended her hand toward him: ”I won’t hurt you, come over here, okay?”

The boy retreated again, but he had nowhere to retreat to.

He quickly glanced behind him before turning back to meet Chuzheng’s calm eyes, briefly losing his composure.

The boy’s gaze fell onto Chuzheng’s palm. After what felt like forever, Chuzheng was considering whether or not to take action, when the boy moved.

He cautiously stepped forward, his hanging hand slowly lifting.

As his fingertips trembled in the air, they paused a finger’s distance from Chuzheng’s palm, then he suddenly tried to pull his hand back.

Chuzheng grabbed his hand, and before the boy could respond, pulled him close and hugged him.

”It’s okay now.”

Man Yue struggled hard, but unfortunately, Chuzheng’s strength was greater, and he couldn’t break free.

Eventually, not knowing whether exhausted, he stopped struggling.

Chuzheng soothingly patted his back, and when he completely settled down, she carried him back.

”Where is Yan Ya?” Man Yue stubbornly clung to this question.

Yan Ya Yan Ya... What is your relationship!!

Chuzheng gritted her teeth: ”I’ll find him for you, now sleep, no more fussing.”

Unsure whether she hit the right note, Man Yue surprisingly didn’t protest, and he closed his eyes.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng sat beside him for a while, making sure he was asleep before getting up to leave.

Ah Mu and others still waited at the door.

”Send someone to find Yan Ya, bring him back.”

”Tower Master, we... lack manpower.” Most people were still out searching for Xi Nan, where to find extra hands?

Chuzheng pulled out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve: ”Hire someone to find him.”

Ah Mu: ”...”

Where’s the destitution you mentioned?

Why did you suddenly pull out a wad of silver notes!!

”I’ll take care of it.” Money will solve the problem.

-

Yan Ya’s whereabouts were unknown, surely no news would come for a while.

Chuzheng thought the Good Person Card would be quiet for a day or two, since she had promised to help find him, but he started fussing again the next morning.

The food delivered was scattered all over, the boy sat on the bed, staring gloomily.

”Tower Master... this young man suddenly got angry, it’s not my fault.” The person in the room immediately defended himself upon seeing Chuzheng.

”Suddenly got angry?”

”Yes, without warning...” they said: ”I just asked him where he wanted to eat, he didn’t respond, so I approached, and he overturned the tray as soon as I got close.”

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng waved for him to leave first.

Turning to Man Yue, who met her gaze directly, his pale complexion made it hard for her to vent anger on him.

Chuzheng pondered a moment, then asked, ”Do you not like them?”

Man Yue shifted his gaze vaguely and replied, ”Yes.”

Chuzheng resisted the urge to facepalm: ”I understand. I’ll make sure they don’t enter arbitrarily again, but you can’t just lose your temper.”

Man Yue said nothing and just lay back down.
