Chapter 279: Chapter 146: Liu Ye: He Really Said to Trust in Science! (3)
In the past, it was casually stored away in the warehouse, another thief bee stinger. Was it really about to make him take the surname Oriental?
Once the Sword Control Technique was applied to the bee stinger, it truly resembled the real thing a bit.
Next was another batch of Spirit Flower Powder, the drop rate was quite high. Not knowing how badly these thief bees suffered each time, they still return often. If more of it dropped, using it to make special Scar Remover Cream as a reward during the National Style Event would be no problem.
The last item turned out to be a Basic Spirit Stone.
This really gave him a sense of fun like playing a game and getting loot.
He hoped those thief bees would come back a few more times.
After dealing with the thief bees, Chen Han greeted Uncle Dagou, and then sent the Lion-headed Geese back to the Spirit Beast Hall.
But when he returned to Little Uncle’s kitchen, he surprisingly saw that old man and monk again.
What a coincidence.
Liu Ye naturally saw Patriarch Chen too, and really wanted to approach and greet him now, to ask if his illness could be treated.
However, he could definitely tell that the Chen Family wasn’t simple, and this Patriarch Chen was absolutely an expert, so he definitely couldn’t treat him like Master Xinyan or others in the same way.
Going up directly might be impolite and might also cause resentment.
On this point, he was very clear, as many people wanted to see him too, to get close to him, to grab an order from him, or achieve some cooperation.
Now that the roles were reversed, and he became the one asking for help, he knew well how to behave.
So, it was better to wait for Xiaochu to introduce him first.
This way, at least, it wouldn’t be annoying to others.
At this time, he saw two police officers bringing a young man into the Chen household.
Huang Xin’s eyes lit up upon seeing Patriarch Chen, immediately bringing the young man over: "Patriarch Chen!"
Chen Han looked on in surprise: "Captain Huang, what’s going on?"
Huang Xin, recalling the previous matter with the Joyful Union Sect Demon, offered a pointed explanation: "Patriarch Chen, this guy is a scalper, caught reselling Chen Household Feng Shui Room reservations to tourists on the spot."
This guy bought up over 30 rooms, and now we want to ask him where he got the software to hack the reservations, but he’s been very tight-lipped."
Chen Han was amazed to hear this, never imagining that the Chen Family would have scalpers, snatching up more than 30 rooms in one go.
Have scalpers really started grabbing room reservations now?
However, such scalping behavior is indeed illegal, violating Article 52 of the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, and even Article 227 of the Criminal Law.
This is not an exaggeration, because with such reservation scalping, criminals might end up getting rooms, thereby affecting criminal investigations.
It also impacts the Chen Family’s regular room reservation resources.
So, Chen Han would not allow such troublemakers to exist, and directly asked the scalper: "Do you know where you are? You should also know that Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable is worshiped here?"
"Three feet above your head is divinity; confess now, and you can still obtain the forgiveness of Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable!"
As he spoke, Chen Han also applied the Truth-telling Technique on the scalper.
The scalper initially scoffed at the mention of Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, as he didn’t believe in these things. But for some reason, after hearing Patriarch Chen’s words, he couldn’t control his mouth: "I bought it from Brother Hai’s place, he runs a tea shop on Qikou Street in the county, and he also does scalp buying and selling. It’s my first time doing this and just came to try it at the Chen Family."
After blurting it all out, he immediately realized, dumbfounded, panic-stricken, and even a little scared.
Just now he had honestly confessed everything, without daring to hide anything. Could Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable really be...
Huang Xin’s eyes shone, just as he had thought, and without hesitation, he took out his phone to make a call, as it turned into a significant case.
Not far away, Liu Ye and Master Xinyan watched the scene with astonished faces.
Unable to hold back, Liu Ye asked: "Master Xinyan, does the great Buddha in your temple have such awe-inspiring power that makes people tell the truth out of fear?"
"Huh???" Master Xinyan was taken aback by the question, as it made his head spin.
Liu Ye received no answer, and was even more surprised, knowing that Master Xinyan was evidently equally shocked.
When Huang Xin was on the phone, Chen Han also returned to Little Uncle’s kitchen, boiled water, and added some herbs to the medicinal stew when he received a call from Chu Hao, the Demon Path Demon.
It indicated a significant figure from the Demon Path was about to appear. He hung up the phone with a chuckle, and then took a cup from the cabinet.
With a thought, he retrieved a separately bottled Dog Demon Spine Wine from the warehouse, and poured a cup into it.
As for whether the Demon Path bigwig could taste this cup of wine, that would depend on fate, whether they were destined for it.
Soon enough, Chu Hao, the Demon Path Demon, arrived, bringing along two others, impressively the same old man and monk he had seen twice before.
Which meant the elderly man was the bigwig of the Demon Path, and the master by his side perhaps hailed from the Mercy Cloud Temple, or similar.
Chu Hao immediately introduced: "Patriarch Chen, sorry to disturb you, this is Chairman Liu I mentioned to you. He’d like to meet you."
As Liu Ye entered, the aroma of medicinal herbs drifted in, instantly drawing his eye to the two brewing pots, recognizing it as the medicinal meal he had yesterday.
Hearing Chu Hao’s introduction, he quickly said: "Patriarch Chen, I’ve suddenly come uninvited, truly a disturbance. After strolling through the Chen household this morning, I’ve been deeply moved, and deeply felt the great righteousness of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable. Thus, I wish to do good and contribute; I’ve already instructed my assistant to contact the bank and transfer some donations to the Chen Family’s account."
Chen Han glanced at Chairman Liu, who clearly came to seek treatment for illness but began discussing the righteousness of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable instead of the real matter at hand.
Even more astonishingly, at almost the same time, his phone received a bank notification message.
The account was credited with 100 million, specifically noted as a donation to a religious cause.
This Demon Path bigwig was intriguing, saying he made a small donation, but it turned out to be 100 million, directly boosting his upgrade, right?
Liu Ye naturally knew that the funds had arrived.
Deliberately arranged,
This gesture conveyed his intention, hoping to garner the greatest favor in Patriarch Chen’s eyes.
Receiving the information, Chen Han looked at Chairman Liu with a half-smile: "Mr. Liu, you are benevolent; perhaps that is your destiny with the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable."
Liu Ye, seeing this look, felt as if his thoughts were being read, and dared not conceal anything at once: "Patriarch Chen, actually, I’ve been tormented by illness for years, having very severe rheumatic paralysis symptoms, with a deformed knee on one leg."
"I’ve seen many hospitals but none could cure it; I’m even soon to be wheelchair-bound, hence I’m coming to the Chen family, shamelessly seeking your help."
Chen Han already knew his purpose, but hearing this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, illnesses should be treated in hospitals, believing in the scientific approach. Our Chen Family doesn’t have doctors."
"..." Liu Ye, upon hearing this, instinctively opened his mouth in surprise.
He had speculated beforehand whether this Patriarch Chen would simply deny it, or directly tell him to believe in science.
Now, he actually said it.
This Patriarch Chen really was different from Master Xinyan and others, not someone who could be just swayed with money.
But facing this belief in science, he didn’t know how to respond at that moment.
If belief in science worked, he wouldn’t be here today at all.
As he wore a face full of despondence, he saw Patriarch Chen bringing the cup from the table and handing it over to him.
Chen Han said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, although our Chen Family does not treat illnesses, with such firm benevolence, I must toast you with a cup. It’s our family’s homemade ordinary wine, please don’t disdain it."
"Ah..." Liu Ye looked in surprise at the cup of wine, his heartbeat inexplicably quickening.
Could it be that this wine...
