After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Watching the raging fire in front of him, Old Man Wang almost collapsed.

He had painstakingly hidden these ginseng roots together to fetch a good price, and now, they had been burned to ashes.

Chen Yu didn't care about such things. He only left after confirming that all the ginseng roots had been completely burned.

The town square was bustling.

The supplies brought by Zhang Hu and Li Qiang had also been distributed, and everyone was showing happy expressions.

However, some were crying and cursing the father and son of the Wang family.

Several dozen beds had been set up in the middle of the square, and the patients lying on them looked identical to the boy from before.

Chen Yu saw many people kneeling on the ground, continuously kowtowing and begging him to save their family members.

It was apparent that these people were extremely anxious; many of the fallen were pillars of their households, while others were the sole hope of their families.

In a small town like this, the mainstay of a family and the future heir were extremely important.

Once these people were gone, a family would be shattered.

Chen Yu took a moment to regulate his breathing before approaching the patients and scanning their bodies with the system.

Just as he had analyzed before, although these people seemed to have similar symptoms on the surface, their bodies each had different pathological changes.

It appeared that the ginseng flesh had mutated under specific conditions and taken root within these people's bodies.

"Everyone, don't worry. I will cure all the patients. Please remain quiet," he said.

As these words were spoken, the scene instantly became silent, and all eyes were filled with hope as they looked at Chen Yu.

The initial steps were the same for all, to expel the toxins from the patients' bodies and then apply a plaster to treat their unique conditions, followed by the surgical stage.

This was the more difficult process, as some had vital locations affected by pathological changes, and any carelessness could be fatal.

Chen Yu took an entire day to perform surgeries on the forty-eight patients.

Even with his physical condition, he felt somewhat fatigued.

However, these people hadn't been completely rid of the disease's root; they needed some special medicinal herbs for a full recovery.

After suturing the last patient's wound, Chen Yu stood on the high platform in the middle of the square.

"Everyone, the initial treatment of your family members has ended. You should take them home and take good care of them. Remember, don't eat any of the previously mentioned ginseng meat! Also, don't give them any medicine, and wait for my return."

The people present nodded, not daring to be negligent.

After Chen Yu gave a few more instructions, he got into the truck parked beside.

Zhang Hu immediately went to the driver's seat, a look of concern on his face.

"Mr. Chen, don't you want to rest a bit before leaving?"

He had been there the whole day, looking after the patients and helping record the supplies the townspeople needed.

Such an overload of work would have left most people flat on their backs by now.

Chen Yu shook his head: "No need, I'll just sleep a bit in the car. Drive slowly. As long as we make it on time, we'll be fine for the medicinal herb auction."

"Alright then!" Zhang Hu started the vehicle, moving forward slowly.

He had had a good day's sleep and was feeling quite refreshed.

When Chen Yu woke up again, they had already arrived at the underground market's parking garage.

Qin Mingxue had arranged for someone to be here early to meet them.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Qin has been waiting for a long time. She said to go straight to the VIP hall once you arrived."

Chen Yu nodded and asked Zhang Hu to go purchase the supplies first, while he followed the person to the underground market.

Qin Mingxue always took each medicinal herb auction very seriously.

She had specially selected an area and combined it with the original auction venue, even arranging for dozens of herbal medicine experts.

At the corner of the third floor was a fairly well-decorated room.

Qin Mingxue had been waiting there early.

"Mr. Chen, you've finally arrived. If you were one more day late, you would have missed the auction."

Chen Yu offered a slight smile and sat down next to her, casually pouring himself a glass of white wine.

Even though he had driven slowly on the way here, the car still jolted terribly. He hadn't slept well and still looked worse for wear.

Qin Mingxue didn't say much but blushed and sat down close to Chen Yu.

Soon after, an old man dressed in ancient-style clothing walked in slowly.

"Great-niece, after attending so many medicinal herb appreciation conferences, it's only your events that can pique my interest! What good herbs do you have this time?"

Qin Mingxue quickly rose to her feet, "For this auction, I've put in a lot of effort, inviting people from far and wide, and I've also brought back a lot of herbs."

The old man chuckled, just about to sit down when he noticed Chen Yu sitting there.

"Who is this young man? Why is he in your room? I remember this room is for your exclusive use; you never allow outsiders in."

Qin Mingxue hurriedly pulled the old man over to Chen Yu.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Yu. It was he who helped me get rid of that bastard Fang Zhanbo."

The old man was somewhat surprised; Fang Zhanbo had enormous influence in Jiang City, and nobody dared to oppose him openly.

Being able to get rid of Fang Zhanbo was enough to show Chen Yu's extraordinary capabilities.

"Mr. Chen, this is my distant uncle, Qin Tianfeng, who is also the president of the Medical Association of the Southeastern five provinces."

Chen Yu nodded and politely extended his hand.

Unexpectedly, Qin Tianfeng had no intention of shaking hands and just harrumphed before sitting to the side.

"Young man, this is a special session for the medicinal herb auction. No matter how impressive you are in other areas, it does not qualify you to participate in this auction."

Chen Yu's brow furrowed slightly; he hadn't expected Qin Tianfeng to be so condescending.

He did not say much more, simply leaning back in his chair, looking through the one-way glass at the podium.

A large LCD screen hung on the left side of the room, showing a clear view of what was happening on the podium.

Qin Mingxue was clearly a bit embarrassed, caught between her distant uncle and Chen Yu.

She had intended to introduce the two men to each other, and it had not crossed her mind that it would turn out like this, but, upon reflection, Qin Tianfeng was indeed being rather unreasonable.

Qin Mingxue instinctively moved to sit by Chen Yu, wanting to say a few words of comfort.

Just at that moment, Qin Tianfeng suddenly stood up excitedly.

On the LCD screen, a palm-sized fire-colored Lingzhi appeared.

"My heavens, I haven't seen a fire Lingzhi of such pure quality for many years. Great-niece, you're amazing! Even something like this you managed to acquire, this auction is sure to be a success!"
