Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Cooperative Allies (2/2)
It was believed that their true purpose was to seek the Method of Immortality abroad.
Originally, Chen Yu had thought this was merely a legend, but to his surprise, such an organization truly existed.
Wu Rihan gave a brief self-introduction before taking out a map from his person.
“Mr. Chen, I know you are Mr. Tong’s son-in-law, so in a way, we’re allies,” he said.
Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and immediately activated the system to scan the other man’s brain information.
As a flood of information came in, everything about Wu Rihan was laid bare before Chen Yu.
Strictly speaking, the man indeed qualified as an ally, but it was merely a partnership; he had received some documents from Tong Ming and was on his way to meet a few people in the Dongming Gorge.
He also had orders to protect Chen Yu.
However, this man was not likely to dutifully carry out his mission; he planned to use Chen Yu to obtain the objects granting eternal life.
A strange curve formed on Chen Yu’s lips as he leaned back in his chair.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be a descendant of Genghis Khan. I wouldn’t dare to become allies with you,” he said.
Wu Rihan became anxious. He was just a rough man with scant information and documents in his possession.
If he were to rush into the Dongming Gorge with his men, there was no telling what might happen.
“Mr. Chen, after all, I am entrusted by Mr. Tong. No matter what, I must escort you safely to Dongming Gorge. I hope you won’t mind,” he said.
Chen Yu didn’t want to say anything more. He took a sip of his drink and prepared to leave.
Just then, two young men carrying an elderly man who appeared to be over fifty hurried into the room. As soon as they entered, they put the old man down on the ground and cried out for help.
It looked like the old man had been in a car accident; he was drenched in blood from head to toe, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Two of his ribs were broken at the chest, piercing through the skin.
In the desert, cars were scarce and car accidents even more unlikely—clearly, this was no accident.
The cries of the two young men soon summoned the landlady.
“Oh dear, this is just an inn, not a hospital. Why have you brought him here? Should I contact a doctor from a nearby town for you?” she asked.
The landlady obviously wanted to avoid trouble; with the old man injured like this, staying here would mean only one thing: certain death.
One of the young men stood up and tried to grab the landlady by the neck.
But to everyone’s surprise, the seemingly delicate landlady was incredibly agile, grabbing the young man’s hand and flipping him over her shoulder.
Those nearby were stunned by the sight; who would have thought such a dainty woman could be so formidable?
The landlady, still looking meek, dusted off her hands and pulled a first-aid kit from the side.
“I really have no choice, the inn’s been full these past few days, there are no rooms left, and we don’t have professional doctors here. You’ll just have to make do with this,” she said.
The two young men didn’t dare to make another move, but the old man’s life was hanging by a thread, and in their desperation, they opened the medical kit to try their luck.
“Four ribs are broken, and the artery near the heart has been punctured; he doesn’t have much time left,” Chen Yu said slowly and quietly as he sauntered over.
The two young men immediately stood up, as if grasping at a lifeline.
“Sir, if you can discern the injury, surely you must know medical skills. Could you please save our master?” they pleaded.
Chen Yu, without saying much more, pushed the young men aside and moved closer.
But as he knelt down, he suddenly regretted it; the old man’s injuries were beyond his expectation.
