PATGFM Chapter 21: Check Your Eyes

Chu Mengyao widened her eyes, "Wasn't it just in the lower abdomen earlier? How did it change now?"

Luchuan said, "I don't know."

Chu Mengyao bit her lip, staring at him as if trying to see through his soul, "You did it on purpose! You just wanted to take advantage of me!"

Luchuan looked innocent, "How could that be possible! Am I the shameless type? It's really because this time the cold gathered in your chest, I didn't want it either!"

Chu Mengyao looked at Luchuan resentfully, wanting to bite him hard. She felt increasingly uncomfortable, with no time to pursue whether Luchuan did it intentionally, so she said, "Then do it through my clothes."

Luchuan said awkwardly, "It won't work through clothes, I have to... put my hand in, otherwise the power won't transmit."

Chu Mengyao closed her eyes directly, her brows furrowed tightly, "Even if I'm tortured to death by this cold, I won't ask for your help in treatment again!"

Luchuan tentatively asked, "So you agree for me to put my hand in now?"

Chu Mengyao rebuked, "Don't waste time! If you dare to touch me randomly, I'll kill you!"

Luchuan's gaze fell on her chest, he swallowed nervously, "Relax a bit, I'll finish it as soon as possible."

He raised his hand, cautiously reaching into Chu Mengyao's neckline.

Warm, soft, tender.

Luchuan tried hard to suppress the evil thoughts in his mind, focusing his mind to help Chu Mengyao suppress the cold.

"Anyway, we've been through this before, I shouldn't have such thoughts at this time," he tried to convince himself.

Half an hour later.

Luchuan withdrew his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "Done."

This time the cold was much more troublesome than before, with a hint of cunning, constantly roaming in Chu Mengyao's body, forcing Luchuan to keep moving his hand.

This made him feel somewhat strange because theoretically, the extreme cold power in Chu Mengyao's body shouldn't behave like this.

Chu Mengyao got off the desk, her symptoms had disappeared, and she had regained her vitality, but her face was abnormally flushed.

She looked at Luchuan fiercely, gritted her teeth, and cursed, "Despicable!"

Luchuan innocently said, "I didn't move randomly, and besides, this was all for your treatment."

Chu Mengyao snorted, reached out to tidy up her clothes, "You go out, I don't want to see you now."

Luchuan shook his head helplessly, walked towards the door, intentionally raising his voice, "In this day and age, good people don't get rewarded, isn't that true?"

Chu Mengyao clenched her fists in anger, thinking that he had taken advantage of her just now, and all she said was "despicable," yet he felt wronged!

Luchuan opened the office door, just to see a middle-aged man in a suit, holding a dragon-headed cane, with a stern face, standing at the door. Behind him were two bodyguards wearing sunglasses, emitting a strong aura.

Luchuan didn't know what these people were doing here, so he said, "Excuse me, I need to go out."

The middle-aged man looked at him coldly, not making way, but instead, forcing him back into the office.

Chu Mengyao saw the middle-aged man, her face changed, and she hurried over, anxiously saying, "Dad, why are you here?"

Luchuan was surprised to see that this middle-aged man turned out to be Chu Mengyao's father, the head of the Chu family, Chu Shanhe.

Chu Shanhe didn't look at Chu Mengyao, staring at Luchuan, and asked, "Who is he?"

Chu Mengyao said nervously, "He's my... friend."

Chu Shanhe frowned, "Friend? You're friends with this kind of low-class person?"

Luchuan felt uncomfortable and remembered that Chu Mengyao's marriage arrangement with him was also changed by Chu Shanhe without his consent, so he retorted, "Uncle, don't judge people by their appearance. It's too arbitrary to make such a judgment after just one look, isn't it?"

Chu Shanhe sneered, "I've looked at you once, and that's already showing you respect."

Luchuan immediately clenched his fists.

The two bodyguards instantly locked onto him with their gaze, the pressure overwhelming.

Luchuan felt that he was no match for these two people, so he could only endure it.

Chu Mengyao quickly said, "Dad, Luchuan isn't as bad as you say. I'm already grown up, do you have to control who I make friends with?"

Luchuan? Chu Shanhe felt that this name sounded familiar but couldn't recall where he had heard it before. He looked at Chu Mengyao and asked, "What were you two doing inside just now? Why is your face so red?"

Chu Mengyao lied, "There was a problem with one of my medications, and Luchuan is an expert, so I asked him for advice."

Chu Shanhe said coldly, "Mengyao, do you think I'm a fool?"

Chu Mengyao said seriously, "If you don't believe me, go ask Secretary Wang!"

Chu Shanhe gave a nod to the bodyguard beside him.

The bodyguard immediately left and soon returned, telling Chu Shanhe, "Master, it's true."

Chu Shanhe's doubts were dispelled, and he reassessed Luchuan, still maintaining his superiority, "My daughter is naive, and I'm worried she'll be taken advantage of. I was rude just now, and I hope you can understand."

I didn't take advantage of your daughter, I just took the opportunity... Luchuan silently complained, but out of respect for Chu Shanhe's seniority, he replied, "I understand."

Chu Shanhe nodded, "I have something to discuss with Mengyao, you can leave now."

Luchuan didn't have a good impression of Chu Shanhe and didn't want to stay any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that several blood vessels in Chu Shanhe's eyes turned black for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, too fine to be easily noticed.

He quickly asked, "Uncle, have you been feeling uncomfortable in your eyes recently, or have you noticed any signs of vision decline?"

Chu Shanhe glanced at him, "My eyes are fine. What do you mean by that?"

Luchuan said, "Well, I know a bit about medicine, and I noticed something unusual in your eyes just now. It's possible that you've been infected with neurotoxins. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible for a check-up, otherwise you might end up permanently blind."

Chu Mengyao's heart tightened at his words.

Chu Shanhe sneered, "Kid, I just said a word to put you down a bit, and you're twisting it to insult me?!"

Luchuan furrowed his brows, "Uncle, I'm serious."

Chu Shanhe scoffed, "I just had a full body check-up last week, and the doctor specifically praised my eyes as better than young people's. Do you need me to show you the check-up report?"

Luchuan said, "Uncle, some things can't be detected through check-ups."

"Enough!" Chu Shanhe scolded, "Now get out immediately. I'll let it go this time for Mengyao's sake. Stay away from her in the future, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Luchuan was speechless. He tried to kindly remind him, but Chu Shanhe felt insulted. It seemed his good intentions were wasted. He didn't intend to continue arguing, so he bowed slightly and said, "Uncle, then take care of yourself. Goodbye!"

With that, he turned and left.

Chu Mengyao said anxiously, "Dad, Luchuan is really skilled in medicine. How could he insult you? You're thinking too much. You should still go check your eyes."

Chu Shanhe's face turned cold, "What? Even you think I'm blind?"

Chu Mengyao said, "No, Dad..."

Chu Shanhe snorted, "That kid is just upset because I belittled him. You actually believe his words!"

"Mengyao, you need to understand, you're engaged to Long Hao now. In the future, you must avoid contact with such unscrupulous people. What qualifications does that kid have to be your friend? If you have more people like him around you, the Long family will look down on us."

Chu Mengyao sighed and sat in front of the desk, looking unhappy.

She hated being manipulated by fate. Marriage aside, now even her friendships were being scrutinized. She didn't know what meaning there was in living such a life.

Chu Shanhe stared at Chu Mengyao and asked, "Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard, Dad, I have work to do. If you don't have anything else, please go back." Chu Mengyao said casually, pretending to be busy with work.

For a moment, she felt that Luchuan, the bastard, was actually quite cute.

...

Luchuan returned to the Jinhu Community.

"One day, those who look down on me will kneel and beg for my forgiveness."

He walked while calculating ways to improve his strength.

Today, Chu Shanhe's attitude towards him had dealt him a significant blow. Although he had unlimited potential, he currently didn't have the capital to have an equal conversation with the Chu family.

Becoming the unparalleled strongest was his only chance.

He had not gone far when a figure in a windbreaker, with a ponytail and a heroic bearing, blocked his way.

Luchuan glanced at the person in front of him and asked, "Miss, what are you doing?"

The person showed her credentials and said, "I'm Yu Xin, the head of the Supervisory Office in the Qiaodong District."

"A few days ago, there was a murder case involving a martial artist at the Waterside Park. The victim's name was Lin Hu. I investigated all the surveillance footage nearby that day, and ultimately confirmed that only you went to Waterside Park before the murder."

As she spoke, she showed Luchuan the surveillance footage on her phone.

"Why did you kill Lin Hu? And why so brutally? Is your purpose in practicing martial arts to harm others?" 

Luchuan pretended not to understand, "I don't know what you're talking about."

He tried to walk around Yu Xin and continue forward.

Yu Xin stopped him, "You have the guts to kill someone, why don't you have the guts to admit it!"

Luchuan stared at her and asked, "Do you have evidence to prove that Lin Hu was killed by me?"

Yu Xin suddenly looked guilty and held up her phone, saying, "This is the evidence!"

Luchuan sneered, "Miss, although I'm not a legal expert, I still have some basic common sense. This surveillance footage can only prove that I went to Waterside Park, it doesn't prove that I killed Lin Hu. Don't make baseless accusations."

Yu Xin was caught off guard and couldn't hold her ground, but soon she reacted and exclaimed, "So you admit that you killed Lin Hu!"

Luchuan was taken aback for a moment, then turned and walked away.

Yu Xin coldly laughed, "You really are a person with a beastly heart! I don't have evidence to arrest you now, but considering how brutally you killed Lin

 Hu, have you ever considered the feelings of his wife and children! You beast!"

Luchuan stopped in his tracks, his face as cold as ice.
