Yu Chenglong’s condition was exactly as Zhou Yu had judged.
He himself had no issues, but Qi Dingjiang regularly poisoned him with silver needles, which is what kept him in a state of near death.
Speaking of which, the poison that Qi Dingjiang employed was quite peculiar.
Even Zhou Yu had never seen it before.
Nevertheless, relying on the medical techniques taught to him by the old man, Zhou Yu was still roughly able to discern that the poison belonged to a category of Gu poison.
The most effective method to deal with Gu poison was Nether Fire True Qi.
Zhou Yu used silver needles to inject Nether Fire True Qi into Yu Chenglong’s body, helping him expel the toxins within.
This process lasted about half an hour.
During this time, a dense black liquid continuously seeped out from Yu Chenglong’s skin, nearly enveloping his body.
After half an hour, Zhou Yu put away the silver needles.
"Director Yu, what’s needed next is a medicinal bath to cleanse his body."
"I’ll give you a prescription; have someone prepare the medicinal bath immediately."
Zhou Yu wrote a prescription.
Although Yu Kaiping didn’t understand medicine, he had witnessed his son’s transformation with his own eyes and had a strong intuition that his son’s condition was improving.
He shook with excitement as he hurriedly took the prescription.
"I’ll have someone prepare it right now."
Half an hour later, the medicinal bath was ready.
Zhou Yu had people lift Yu Chenglong into the bath, placing his palm against the bathtub, and as the Nether Fire True Qi surged, steam began to rise from the bathtub in an instant.
This spectacle utterly astonished Yu Kaiping and the others.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yu withdrew his Nether Fire True Qi.
As the steam in the bathtub dissipated, Yu Chenglong was seen to have regained consciousness; his eyes were bright, his complexion rosy, he looked spirited and thoroughly healthy.
"How... how do you feel?"
Yu Kaiping asked excitedly.
"Dad, I feel very good, very comfortable. It seems like my sickness is all gone," Yu Chenglong said, his voice trembling.
"Haha... that’s great."
Yu Kaiping laughed like a child.
He then turned to look at Zhou Yu.
"Mr. Zhou, you are like a rebirth parent to my son."
Zhou Yu said indifferently,
"Director Yu, you overstate."
Yu Kaiping’s expression paused before he forced a smile,
"Just now you were still calling me Uncle Yu, and now even the address has changed. Looks like you’re still upset with me."
"Mr. Zhou, I really had no choice regarding the matter with Qi Dingjiang, and I was rude to you. I hereby offer you my sincerest apology."
Yu Kaiping bowed deeply.
Yu Kaiping waved his hand, signaling the servants to bring a check over.
"Mr. Zhou, this is ten billion, consider it a consultation fee."
"Please accept it. From today onward, you are an honored guest of the Yu Family. Should you need anything at all, I, Yu Kaiping, will spare no effort."
It must be said that Yu Kaiping was indeed sincere.
Zhou Yu originally had some reservations about Yu Kaiping, but after such a heartfelt apology, he could actually understand him.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said,
"Uncle Yu, the past is the past, don’t keep calling me Mr. Zhou. Just Zhou Yu will do."
"As for this check, forget it, it was but a slight effort."
"That won’t do, things must be kept separate..."
No matter what Yu Kaiping said, it was to no avail as he insisted on giving the check to Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, just take it. My uncle isn’t short on money, there’s no need to save on his behalf,"
Qin Lan said, laughing.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to accept it.
After all this was done, Yu Kaiping turned his gaze toward Gongsun Lu, his eyes filled with rage.
Gongsun Lu’s face turned deathly pale.
He knelt down on the ground.
"Uncle, I was wrong,"
"I was momentarily blinded."
"Please, I beg you, forgive me."
Yu Kaiping’s eyes swept over him coldly, then he looked to the side and noticed that Mi Zongqiang had disappeared.
"Where is Mi Zongqiang?"
Gongsun Lu said with an unsightly expression:
"He... during the medicinal bath... he, he slipped away."
Yu Kaiping snorted coldly:
"Gongsun Lu, you are my nephew, but what you have done has disappointed me greatly."
"Don’t say that I’m disregarding family ties, your mistake is unforgivable."
"Guards, take him away, send him to the police. Spend the rest of your life in prison to rehabilitate."
The Yu Family security immediately charged in to drag Gongsun Lu away.
Gongsun Lu’s face changed drastically.
"Uncle, please, no, I’m your own nephew..."
Just then, Zhou Yu spoke up.
Yu Kaiping and others were taken aback.
"Zhou Yu, what is it?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"The poison he used is quite unusual, I’d like to know, where did that poison come from?"
Gongsun Lu hurriedly said:
"Uncle, I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything."
"But if I do, can you spare me?"
"Stop the nonsense, where did the poison come from?"
"Don’t force me to be harsh with you."
Yu Kaiping’s gaze was as fierce as if he could devour someone.
Gongsun Lu shivered all over, pleadingly said:
"It was... it was Mi Zongqiang who gave it to me."
Yu Kaiping was taken aback.
"Why would he give you that?"
"The Mi Family... wanted to use me to swallow up your assets."
"But they knew of your close relationship with the governor and didn’t dare to act openly, so they approached me..."
"However, Uncle, I swear, I was only using the Mi Family, I would never commit such treachery."
A slap landed on Gongsun Lu’s face from Yu Kaiping.
"You’re already treacherous enough."
"Take him away, hand him over to the police."
The Yu Family guards immediately dragged Gongsun Lu away.
Gongsun Lu cried out for mercy, but it was futile.
After Gongsun Lu was taken away, Yu Kaiping’s eyes were filled with cold fury.
"What a Mi Family, using such despicable tactics."
"This matter cannot end ."
Zhou Yu felt a spark of interest.
"Uncle Yu, how much do you know about the Mi Family?"
