Chapter 277: Do you dare not listen to grandpa’s words?
"Grandpa's words are the golden rule. Do you dare not listen?"
Then, she turned to Yun Chen with a smile on her face: "Mr. Gu, don't be angry. This child is ignorant!"
"We listen to you, we all listen to you!"
"If you tell him to go east, he'll never dare go west!"
Yun Chen sneered in his heart, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
How can I make you willingly spend all your money if I don't keep you under control?
"Well, ignorance is not a crime."
He waved his hand, his expression softening: "This old man is doing this for your own good."
"The injuries in your body are more complicated than you think."
"The person who attacked you used a vicious method. Not only did he destroy your Dantian, he also left behind an extremely strange hidden force lurking deep within your meridians."
"If you use your previous skills to trigger it, you will only burn yourself. By the time your meridians are severed, even a Daluo Jinxian will be helpless."
This half-true, half-false bluff frightened Zhou Peng and Zhou Wan so much that they turned pale.
Zhou Peng, in particular, recalled the man's casual finger gesture at that time, and the inexorable coldness in his body afterwards, and he believed Yun Chen's words even more firmly.
"Yes, yes! I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
He nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
Seeing that the mother and son had been completely subdued by him, Yun Chen knew that the time was almost right.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked out the window leisurely, with a hint of loneliness revealed in his eyes just right.
He sighed softly.
"Ugh……"
Zhou Wan and Zhou Peng both held their breath, looked at him cautiously, and dared not make a sound.
Yun Chen didn't look at them, but just said to himself: "Seeing the deep love between you and your son, I..."
"I can't help but think of my unfilial son..."
coming!
Zhou Peng's spirits lifted, and he immediately seized the opportunity to show off. He leaned forward slightly and asked cautiously in a tone of deep concern, "Grandpa... do you have a son?"
"He...what happened to him?"
The call of "Grandpa" became smoother and more sincere.
A barely perceptible hint of sarcasm flashed across Yun Chen's eyes, but the sadness on his face grew more intense.
“Yes… How could there not be…”
"This old man has been obsessed with medicine all his life, and indulged in the art of making elixirs."
"When I was young, I studied an ancient elixir recipe and secluded myself for years, neglecting to discipline my family..."
"My child is very talented and is the best candidate to inherit my legacy."
"What a pity... At that time, I was obsessed with the alchemy furnace and herbs, and I would either beat or scold him. If he slacked off even a little, I would punish him severely."
"Finally, when he was eighteen, I accidentally injured him over a trivial matter."
"He...he ran away from home in a rage."
Speaking of this, tears seemed to well up in Yun Chen's cloudy "old eyes".
"He left and there was no news for decades."
"When I came to my senses and regretted my actions, I could no longer find any trace of him."
Zhou Wan and Zhou Peng, mother and son, were stunned and moved when they heard this.
They never imagined that this powerful "Dr. Gu" actually had such a heartbreaking past.
Zhou Wan couldn't help but pull out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, sighing with empathy: "Alas, this... is really a trick of fate!"
"I believe your... that young master was just impulsive back then and must have regretted it later."
Yun Chen's performance continued. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I am now old."
"My only wish is to see him one last time before I close my eyes."
"Even if...even if I just know whether he has lived well these years or is dead or alive, I will be satisfied."
"That's why I've been traveling around these years. Firstly, I'm looking for some rare treasures to make elixirs, and secondly..."
"Every time I go to a place, I always ask around for the local Gu families, hoping... maybe there's some clue there."
This explanation perfectly packaged his motive for inquiring about the Gu family into a touching story of a loving father searching for his son.
The logic is flawless.
Zhou Peng's blood boiled when he heard this, and he felt a strong desire to perform in his chest.
Grandpa is his only support now!
Aren’t grandfather’s affairs his grandson’s affairs?
He slapped his chest hard, but because the movement was too big, it pulled the wound and made him grimace in pain.
"Don't worry, Grandpa!"
"Your business is your grandson's business! Your grandson will definitely help you find your father... uh..."
As soon as Zhou Peng said this, he realized something was wrong and the generations were all messed up.
His face flushed, and he quickly changed the subject: "Find your uncle! I will definitely help you find your uncle!"
Yun Chen looked at Zhou Peng's foolish look as he was eager to show his loyalty, and he had already sneered in his heart.
idiot.
What a complete idiot.
Your biological father Zhou Zheng doesn't want you anymore, and now you come to recognize me, your enemy, as your grandfather, and want to help me find my real family?
It's really a big joke in the world!
But a complex smile mixed with relief appeared on his face at the right time.
He raised his hand and waved: "Good boy, good boy... Grandpa is satisfied with your kindness."
"But...there are so many families with the surname Gu in the world, it's not easy to find him..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Peng had already struggled to stand up from the chair impatiently.
"Grandpa, wait!"
His eyes were shining, as if he had already seen a bright future in which after he had made great contributions, his grandfather would look at him differently, teach him peerless magical skills, reshape his Dantian, and lead him to the peak of his life!
"In our Qingshi City, there's a large family named Gu, the City Lord's Mansion!"
Zhou Peng said excitedly, completely ignoring the fact that his weak body was trembling slightly.
"Grandson will go right away!"
"I'll go get you all the information our Zhou family can find about the Gu family in the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Peng'er!"
Seeing this, Zhou Wan felt both distressed and relieved.
He was worried about his son's health, but he was even more afraid of missing the opportunity to please "Gu Hong".
She weighed the pros and cons and made a decision immediately. She shouted to the burly man standing outside the door with his hands hanging down, "Zhang Tie!"
The sturdy man came in. He was about thirty years old, with a burly build, and exuded the powerful aura of a seventh-level Qi Refining warrior.
This man is the Zhou family's personal bodyguard. He is loyal to the Zhou family. He is usually taciturn, but has strong execution ability.
"Madam, Master."
Zhang Tie bowed and saluted.
Zhou Wan hurriedly ordered, "Zhang Tie! Quick! Help the young master to the study!"
"Bring all the files on the Gu family in the City Lord's Mansion, especially the information about their main members, to me for your review, sir!"
"Yes!"
Without a word, Zhang Tie stepped forward and supported the staggering Zhou Peng.
Zhou Peng said to Yun Chen excitedly, "Grandpa, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to walk out of the side hall with the support of Zhang Tie.
