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

The small town had stood at the foot of Tianhu Mountain for so many years, yet it had never been as joyful as today.

Every household hung up big red lanterns, and the aroma of braised meat filled the entire town.

For the past several hundred years, almost everyone had subsisted on chaff and vegetables, with some even starving to death.

Now, at last, someone was able to bring them a large amount of supplies and was gradually improving their living facilities.

At this rate, it wouldn't take long for the town to become a modernized small city.

Liu Zhongxiang and Li Guokai sat anxiously on the high platform in the square, waiting.

Although Chen Yu had cured those forty-eight patients, he had not removed the root cause of their illnesses.

Only a few hours had passed, and some of those patients were showing signs of relapse—some writhing in pain, even contemplating suicide.

They were all waiting for Chen Yu to bring back the medicine that would completely heal them.

No one knew how much time had passed, but two trucks finally arrived at the square.

Liu Zhongxiang and Li Guokai hurriedly went to meet them.

"Mr. Chen, have you brought back the medicine?"

Chen Yu nodded and carried a bundle to the middle of the square.

"You two, set up a large pot here immediately, then have the families of the patients come to get the medicine."

The two of them didn't dare to delay and immediately went to do as instructed.

Before long, a pot was set up in the middle of the square.

Chen Yu dumped all the herbs from the bundle into the pot, and a rich medicinal fragrance began to waft across the square.

Soon, the families of the patients rushed over in a flurry.

Chen Yu adjusted the flame and, after simmering for a full two hours, began to distribute the medicinal soup.

Once all the patients had taken the medicine, he ran to each of their homes to check on them, making sure everyone was alright before finally sitting down in the square again.

Liu Zhongxiang sat beside him.

"Brother Chen, I truly never imagined you could do things I wouldn't have even dared to dream of."

Chen Yu lay back, watching the sky.

"Truth be told, I still don't know what the test given by Heavenly Master Long Tian really is, but at least I can ensure that the people here have a full meal."

Liu Zhongxiang chuckled twice and lay down beside Chen Yu in a similar fashion.

Just then, Ma Gensheng came running over in a panic.

"Disaster has struck! Wang Sanhu caught some illness and is randomly killing innocents with a hammer on the east side of town."

Chen Yu sprang to his feet in a panic, having forgotten about that guy.

When he left earlier, he had only knocked him out and hadn't done anything else to him.

After so much time, Wang Sanhu must have regained consciousness, and this greedy and cunning father and son pair were definitely going to recover their previous losses from the townspeople.

By the time Chen Yu and Liu Zhongxiang arrived on the east side of town, Wang Sanhu stood there bloodied like an asura from hell, surrounded by a dozen or so people sprawled in various positions.

These people weren't dead, but they had been seriously injured.

When Chen Yu had knocked Wang Sanhu out earlier, he had broken several of his meridians.

This had halved his strength.

Otherwise, who knows how many innocent lives would have been lost.

"Wang Sanhu, put down the hammer immediately, surrender without a fuss, or don't blame me for being rude."

Chen Yu shouted and slowly walked over.

He didn't dare to act rashly, since this guy was in a crazed state now and there was no telling if he would actually kill someone if provoked.

Wang Sanhu didn't care about that and kept swinging the chain hammer in his hands, looking like he was ready to go on a killing spree.

"You burned my family's effigy, cut off our livelihood, and today, if I don't smash your heads, I am not Wang Sanhu."

This guy clearly had a screw loose, holding the hammers in both hands and charging over recklessly.

Chen Yu slightly frowned, his eyes full of disdain as he raised his hand and struck out directly.

The powerful force between the two erupted, literally sending Wang Sanhu flying.

Chen Yu didn't stop moving; he dashed forward to grab Wang Sanhu and slammed him hard onto the ground.

"Everyone in this town is atoning for their sins, yet you and your father have been committing evils. Do you really plan to never leave this town in your lifetime?"

Wang Sanhu, gasping for breath, said, "My dad said that no matter where we are, our family has to be the leader! Even if we're trapped in this town for life, we still have to be the bosses here."

Chen Yu opened his mouth wide, shocked by this mindset.

It seemed he couldn't leave this father and son in the town any longer.

Just then, Old Man Wang came over from not far away, holding a bundle of explosives in his hand.

"Let go of my son right now, or I'll blow up the entire town."

Chen Yu's mouth fell open; he hadn't expected this old guy to be so vicious.

Liu Zhongxiang also became anxious.

This town hid the fortunes of Tianhu Mountain, and if it were to be blown up, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Old Man Wang, I advise you not to act recklessly, or the Heavenly Master from the mountain won't let you off!"

Old Man Wang gave Liu Zhongxiang a cold look.

"My ancestors were just tossed a few graves, and they were captured by those Heavenly Masters and brought here. They never intended to spare the Wang Family! If the Heavenly Masters from the mountain come down, it's the perfect time for me to demand an explanation from them."

Chen Yu was speechless; this was the first time he had encountered such a totally unrepentant rascal who spouted such blatant righteousness.

"Old Man Wang, what you have there is just some yellow powder; it doesn't have enough power to blow up the whole town. Put it down nicely, and I guarantee your son's safety."

Old Man Wang suddenly broke into maniacal laughter.

"Since we're never leaving this town anyway, it doesn't matter if we both die here. I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already planted explosives in every corner of the town. The moment I set off the one in my hand, it'll trigger a chain reaction."

Chen Yu laughed as well.

"Don't you have any sense? With the humidity here, the stuff you've bought has already been soaked and won't work. If you don't believe me, try lighting it. I'll wait right here!"

Old Man Wang was stunned at first, then he subconsciously glanced at the corner. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Chen Yu's figure flashed over, snatched the explosives from his hand, and pressed another hand down on his shoulder, pinning him firmly to the ground.

Liu Zhongxiang and Ma Gensheng quickly came forward to move the seriously injured villagers to safety.

Old Man Wang regained his senses.

"You little scoundrel, you actually dare to trick me! Just wait, one day, I will twist off your head and kick it like a ball."

Chen Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air and pressed on Old Man Wang's back, knocking him out cold.

At that moment, a young Taoist arrived in a flurry.

"Mr. Chen, Heavenly Master Long Tian requests your presence on the mountain!"
