Chapter 16: Actually, I am the Richest Man in China

Fang Yu's gaze was empty, filled with endless coldness.It was unimaginable that such eyes belonged to a young man under twenty years old.Fang Yu quickly turned his head away.He Wencheng trembled all over, begging for mercy and wetting his pants.Fang Yu's face remained expressionless as he kicked He Wencheng's right knee."Crack!"A bone-cracking sound that sent chills down one's spine could be heard.He Wencheng clutched his knee, screaming in agony."If there's a next time, I will twist your neck." Fang Yu said coldly.After speaking, he turned around and looked at Tang Xiaorou, saying, "Let's go, my home is not far ahead."As for Tang Si, who had a look of horror on his face, Fang Yu did not pay him any attention. He had known long ago that Tang Si was driving behind them.Tang Xiaorou nodded and suddenly remembered something. She turned to Tang Si and asked, "Uncle Si, why are you here?""I was worried about Miss's safety, so I followed along." Tang Si replied."Oh... Well, you can drive behind us. I'll come with you after I get the medicine." Tang Xiaorou said, then hurriedly caught up with Fang Yu.Tang Si looked at the dozens of thugs lying on the ground, his eyes filled with shock.As a Martial Grandmaster at the Eighth Stage of the Innate Realm, he was already considered a master.But facing over twenty thugs armed with weapons, he believed he could handle them, but not without any injuries.Yet Fang Yu managed to do it effortlessly, and he appeared quite relaxed.From the moment Tang Si found out about the incident, parked the car, got out, and ran to this small road, it took Fang Yu only two minutes to knock down over twenty thugs.What kind of formidable strength was this?Coupled with the gaze Fang Yu unintentionally revealed just now..."This child is no ordinary person!"...After catching up with Fang Yu, Tang Xiaorou looked at his right arm and asked in a low voice, "Fang Yu, is your arm okay? Should we go to the hospital?""I'm fine." Fang Yu said."How is that possible!?" Tang Xiaorou said anxiously.Fang Yu had blocked the blow with his arm, and even the iron rod had broken. How could his arm be fine?"I said I'm fine, so I'm fine." Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou and said indifferently.Tang Xiaorou wanted to say more, but she was afraid of upsetting Fang Yu and being refused to accompany him to get the medicine, so she didn't say anything in the end.Walking behind Fang Yu, Tang Xiaorou stared at his back, her beautiful eyes shining.Recalling Fang Yu's heroic display against the group of thugs just now, her heart was beating a little faster."He's about the same age as me, how can he be so powerful?" Tang Xiaorou bit her lip and thought to herself.Three minutes later, Fang Yu led Tang Xiaorou to the front of his house."So, you live here..." Tang Xiaorou looked up at the old building with a yard."I live on the second floor." Fang Yu said, taking Tang Xiaorou upstairs.Opening the door, Fang Yu went straight to the utility room.Tang Xiaorou looked around curiously.To be honest, Fang Yu's home was very simple, the living room was spacious but had no furniture, not even a television.What did Fang Yu do for entertainment here?"Come here."Just as Tang Xiaorou was wondering, Fang Yu's voice came from the utility room.Tang Xiaorou hurriedly walked over and as soon as she reached the door of the utility room, a refreshing herbal scent wafted into her nose.Then, Tang Xiaorou saw the room filled with herbs."Nine Star Grass..." Fang Yu rummaged through the pile of herbs like rummaging through garbage, searching for the Nine Star Grass.But in reality, every herb in this 'garbage' pile was a priceless treasure.A minute later, Fang Yu handed Tang Xiaorou a Nine Star Grass and a Moon Blossom Flower."Dry them and grind them into powder, then brew them according to the dosage in my prescription." Fang Yu said."Okay, I got it!" Tang Xiaorou held the two herbs in her hands, her face flushed with excitement.With these two herbs, her grandfather's life could be extended by ten years!"Thank you, Fang Yu." Tang Xiaorou said sincerely.Fang Yu not only saved her grandfather's life, but also used his arm to block a blow for her."In fact, you are not as cold as you appear. You are really a good person." Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu, her gem-like eyes sparkling.This gaze made Fang Yu suddenly remember a woman's gaze from many years ago.That woman also liked to look at him with such a gaze.Fang Yu disliked these sudden memories and immediately shook his head, saying to Tang Xiaorou, "You should go now, I won't treat you to a meal."This sentence completely ruined the atmosphere."Who wants to eat at your place! Hmph!" Tang Xiaorou stomped her foot, turned around, and was about to leave.But after walking a few steps, she turned back and asked, "Fang Yu, didn't my father give you a check? Why are you still living in... this kind of place?""Do you know where the most luxurious and largest mansion in China is now?" Fang Yu asked.Tang Xiaorou shook her head."Number 101 in the capital. That mansion is several times larger than your house, with springs and gardens inside. Basically, anything you can imagine, it has... But that mansion has been unoccupied for over a hundred years." Fang Yu said."Are you saying you want to buy that mansion? It might be very expensive..." Tang Xiaorou widened her eyes and said."No, what I mean is, I am the owner of that mansion, and I haven't lived there for a long time." Fang Yu smiled....After Tang Xiaorou left, Fang Yu thought about watering the vegetable garden.He was about to leave when he heard footsteps downstairs, suddenly remembering Wang Yan's suppressed sobbing last night.Based on Fang Yu's years of experience, in today's society, most people's difficulties are almost always related to money.Money can solve most problems.And for Fang Yu, money is the easiest thing to obtain in this world.So Fang Yu walked back to his room, took out a stack of money from the desk drawer, roughly around a hundred thousand.As for where this money came from, Fang Yu had already forgotten.Fang Yu stuffed the stack of money into his pocket and went downstairs, knocking on Wang Yan's door."Coming!" Wang Yan came out of the bathroom, towel drying her hair. She had probably just finished washing her hair."Xiaoyu, it's you." Wang Yan smiled and opened the door, letting Fang Yu in."The school is celebrating its anniversary recently, and Yueyue has a performance that requires rehearsals, so she can only come home at half-past six. I didn't cook so early. Are you hungry? I can make you a bowl of noodles." Wang Yan said. She thought Fang Yu came over for a free meal."Auntie Wang, I'm not hungry. I came here today to ask if you've encountered any difficulties recently." Fang Yu said directly."Difficulties?" Wang Yan's face slightly changed, then she shook her head, forcing a smile and said, "Xiaoyu, I don't have any difficulties.""Last night, I couldn't sleep and it seemed like I heard you crying." Fang Yu said."You, you must have misheard, Xiaoyu." Wang Yan bit her lip and said."I don't think I misheard. Auntie Wang, now that Yueyue isn't home, you don't need to pretend." Fang Yu said.Wang Yan looked at Fang Yu, stayed silent for a few seconds, then her eyes turned red, saying, "Recently, my ex-husband often comes to the restaurant where I used to work, causing trouble and asking me for money. I ended up getting fired.""Last week, I received a call saying that my father had accidentally fallen and injured his spine while farming in our hometown. The surgery costs fifty thousand yuan...""I've been working at the restaurant for the past few years, and the money I earned was just enough to pay for Yueyue's tuition and books, to maintain a basic life... I have no savings at all. But my father's injury requires surgery as soon as possible, if it's delayed, he will become a vegetable.""But now I have no money for his surgery, and I even lost my job. I have no idea how to raise Yueyue's tuition for next semester... and my ex-husband, I don't know how much debt he has outside, I don't know how many people will come looking for me..."As Wang Yan spoke, she could no longer continue and just cried.Life had been so cruel to her, and she really didn't know what to do.In recent days, she had been feeling depressed and had even contemplated suicide. But in front of her daughter, she pretended that nothing had happened because she didn't want Yueyue to be unhappy.Now, facing Fang Yu and being able to share her troubles, Wang Yan felt slightly relieved.Wiping away her tears, Wang Yan looked at Fang Yu and forced a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, for showing this side of me to you."Fang Yu shook his head and stood up from the sofa, taking out another stack of money from his pocket and placing it on the table."Auntie Wang, there's about a hundred thousand yuan here, you can use it in case of emergency." Fang Yu said.Seeing this stack of money, Wang Yan's expression changed."Xiaoyu, what are you doing? This, this money, did you get it from..." In Wang Yan's eyes, Fang Yu was an even more pitiful person. He was only a teenager, and he didn't have any family or friends. He often stayed at home alone, buying only vegetables for meals...That was why Wang Yan often invited Fang Yu to have dinner at her home.But now, Fang Yu suddenly took out a hundred thousand yuan, which was just too unreasonable.Fang Yu, a high school student with no job, where did he get so much money?Wang Yan's first thought was that Fang Yu had done something illegal."Rest assured, Auntie Wang, this money... is from a friend of mine." Fang Yu made up a reason."Friend? You don't have any friends! Xiaoyu, tell me the truth, where did this money come from? Did you do something illegal..." Wang Yan said angrily."I absolutely didn't, Auntie Wang. This money didn't come from stealing or robbing, I swear to the heavens. If this money came from stealing or robbing, I'll be struck by lightning and die..." Fang Yu felt helpless. In this day and age, when giving money to someone else, he still had to make a solemn vow. It was really difficult to be a good person."Don't make such a vow! I believe you!" Wang Yan quickly interrupted Fang Yu's vow.Fang Yu closed his mouth."But I can't accept this money. No matter who gave it to you, it's your money. Your life is already so difficult, how can I borrow your money? Take it back, Xiaoyu. I'll find another way, Auntie Wang..." Wang Yan said.Fang Yu paused and said, "Auntie Wang, I'll tell you the truth, but you might not believe it.""Hmm?" Wang Yan looked at Fang Yu with confusion."In fact, I am the richest man in China." Fang Yu said.
