Chapter 159: Cannot Speak
Before Gu Yu could reach the Shan family, he was targeted by someone mid-journey, accused of a hit-and-run.
Looking at the old man groaning on the ground in front of him, Gu Yu couldn’t help but twitch his lips, wondering if the old man’s faking skills could be any worse. If he were to fake an accident, his skills would be better than this person’s.
“If you’re smart, leave quickly, or don’t blame me for taking action.”
“Oh dear, in broad daylight, you’re going to hit me! Wuwuwu, these old bones of mine are really…”
When Gu Yu threatened the other party, it had the opposite effect, causing the old man lying on the ground to cry out loudly, attracting the attention of passersby. People always have a strong curiosity about gossip they can watch, no matter when or where. Just like this moment…
However, Gu Yu did not become hesitant or afraid to act because of the growing crowd. Instead, he directly took out a large gold bar from his embrace. It reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight. This not only made the onlookers’ eyes water with envy but also made the faking old man stare with wide eyes. He never expected that the person he was trying to extort was so wealthy. Was he going to use this gold bar to placate the situation?
Unfortunately, he had already taken Mr. Lin’s silver and couldn’t earn this extra income. Otherwise, Lin Zhi would dare to tear down his house… His younger son had been beaten up at the gambling house recently and was now lying at home every day, crying out in pain, forcing him to return to his old profession to earn some silver.
“Do you see this seal?”
“???”
“If you don’t know, I can explain it to you. This is an imperial bestowed gold bar. Even if I beat you to death with this gold bar, I will not be held responsible… What, you don’t believe me at all? Then you can try to test its authenticity now.”
Gu Yu’s expression was not fierce. In fact, his handsome appearance could easily give people an illusion, making them feel that this man was not dangerous at all. However, the words coming from his mouth told a different story!
“Who knows if you’re trying to fool me!”
When the faking old man spoke softly, Gu Yu smiled slightly, knowing that this trouble could be resolved directly. Were the minds of those nobles and children of the elite filled with sewage? Even if they wanted to send someone to fake an accident, they should find a professional, and the performance should be more convincing. Looking at this amateur now, Gu Yu felt it was even boring to deal with him. It seemed that bullying weak opponents wouldn’t bring much pleasure! He needed to find someone of comparable strength to make him feel motivated.
“Why do you think those people wanted to send you to deal with me instead of coming themselves… I’ll count down from ten. If you’re still in front of me, this imperial bestowed gold bar is going to move.”
“You can’t…”
“Ten… Nine… Eight… Seven…”
As the numbers tumbled out of Gu Yu’s mouth, sweat beaded on the faking old man’s forehead. He didn’t know if Gu Yu was telling the truth or not! However, before Gu Yu could finish counting, the old man immediately got up from the ground and quickly disappeared from Gu Yu’s sight. It seemed the old man was quite fond of his life.
“My eyes aren’t deceiving me, right? Wasn’t that old man unable to get up after being hit?”
“Sigh, this is what faking an accident is like!”
“I’m so angry. I was just worried about that old man! I was afraid he would really die on the street! Turns out he wanted to fake an accident to extort money. What a despicable guy!”
“That young man looks so familiar!”
“Not to mention, I also feel he looks familiar. His name is right on the tip of my tongue, but I just can’t say it!”
“Holy cow, isn’t that Gu Yu! That divine doctor, the doctor who is amazing at treating illnesses!”
Afterwards, hearing the onlookers recognize his identity, Gu Yu did not stay there but quickly left and headed towards the Shan family. As for the nobles and children of the elite who wanted to scheme against him, Gu Yu had already mentally noted it down. In a few days, he would let them experience what revenge was. As for why he was so sure it was people sent by the nobles and children of the elites in the capital… At first, Gu Yu also thought it was just a common case of faking an accident. But when he saw that the faking old man didn’t back down even upon seeing the gold bar, Gu Yu’s suspicion grew. If it were an ordinary person faking an accident, they would usually take the opportunity when presented with valuables and default to accepting money to quickly end the matter, then look for the next target. However, this old man did not do so. Although his eyes were filled with greed, he clearly intended to hold out until the end. This made Gu Yu want to provoke him, and unexpectedly, he was right! However, it was also because the other party lacked acting skills that Gu Yu was able to guess everything so easily. Thinking about these things, Gu Yu finally arrived at the Shan family. Because he had been there before, the Shan family’s guards did not dare to stop Gu Yu and politely led him directly to Shan Chengfeng. When Gu Yu finally met Shan Chengfeng, his expression became surprised. He did not expect that after only a short period, Shan Chengfeng had already recovered his original dashing and unrestrained appearance. Although he wasn’t ugly when he was fat, his current thin and tall appearance was more pleasing to the eye. “Brother Gu, the weight loss medicine you gave me is really effective! In just a few days, I feel like a changed person, it’s truly unbelievable!” “What do you mean changed person? It’s still your original appearance! After losing weight this time, be sure not to eat randomly like before!” “I know, I know. Even to avoid losing weight again, I won’t eat so much.” After Gu Yu said a few words, Shan Chengfeng immediately nodded seriously, daring not to continue eating. Although the weight loss was very successful, the hardship he endured during this period was also very difficult! If it weren’t for Bai Linyue’s support and encouragement, Shan Chengfeng felt he wouldn’t have been able to persevere. However, Gu Yu’s contribution was the greatest! Without Gu Yu’s effective weight loss medicine, he would have had to put in much more effort to become like this… Thinking of this, Shan Chengfeng felt that he must thank Gu Yu properly! “Brother Gu, I obtained an interesting antique a few days ago, and thinking that you have always liked rare and strange things, I prepared to gift it to you.” “Oh? What’s so special about this antique?” “It’s a long story. This thing has a very powerful legend! It is said that as long as it is placed on a high shelf and one sincerely makes a wish, it will give birth to both big and small…” Listening to Shan Chengfeng’s words, Gu Yu’s eyes widened in surprise. It was truly a case of looking for something without success, and then finding it effortlessly! The last Iron Lion, found!
