Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Leukemia .

It was a type of disease whereby malignant hematopoietic stem cells cloned themselves . It was declared a terminal illness a few years back . In Chinese medicine terms, it was defined as the congestion of the five main arteries, resulting in poor blood flow and vitality when cancerous cells invaded the bones .

Although the medical sector was developed now and it could be treated through chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant, the chemotherapy process was extremely painful . Meanwhile, it would cost 300,000 to 500,000 yuan .

To Ye Chen’s parents, 300,000 to 500,000 yuan would be the equivalent of their life savings .

“Mother, when did this happen?” Ye Chen asked after taking a deep breath in . He witnessed such a terrible incident just when he met his daughter .

Wu Lan sobbed while covering her face, “In the fourth year after you disappeared, Mengmeng was three . Her body was burning up all of a sudden and her nose was bleeding . Your father and I took her to the hospital and found out that it’s leukemia . We’ve gone to countless hospitals, but Mengmeng’s situation didn’t improve . Instead, it began to worsen . The doctor said she needed either a bone marrow transplant or chemotherapy . Both options are just too much for us to handle and Mengmeng is so young . How could she take the pain of chemotherapy? However, if we go for a bone marrow transplant, it will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan . Your father and I are helpless indeed . Since there’s nothing that we can do, your father and I can only use some medication to slow down her illness . The medicine alone costs 1,000 yuan a bottle . We’ve spent everything we’ve saved throughout the past year…”

She looked morbid and guilty when the devastating situation was brought up .

Ye Chen took the medicine bottle from his mother’s hand . He only saw the word ‘Gleevec’ written on it . Then, he asked right away, “What about Yuhan?”

Wu Lan wiped her tears away and looked uncomfortable . “Yuhan…”

“What happened to Yuhan?” Ye Chen had a change in facial expression, seeming to have noticed something .

Wu Lan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Yuhan was forcefully taken away by the Su family on Mengmeng’s second birthday!”

Ye Chen lifted his head immediately upon hearing that as a ferocious gleam flashed deep in his eyes .

The Su family!

Back then, Ye Chen got to know Su Yuhan when they studied at the university . She was the campus queen at the time with many suitors, but she was in love with Ye Chen who came from a mediocre family . After they started their relationship, Ye Chen then learned about her true identity .

She was the daughter of the Beijing giant, the Su family!

What counted as a giant?

In the words of the young man who sneered down on Ye Chen while speaking to him in a condescending way back then, “There’s an old saying that goes, ‘a toad that wishes to eat swan meat’ . However, in my Su family, all of you peasants are even lower than toads . You’re just an ant at most . If not for Yuhan, my Su family wouldn’t even care to look down on you . Since you’re an ant, you must have realization of an ant . Stop having unrealistic imagination . Otherwise, I guarantee that you’ll die a horrible death!”

Ye Chen did not want to yield when that happened . He swore to himself that he must do something great to prove himself . However, someone knocked him out when he was on the way home after work . He was then tied up and tossed into the Surge River .

It was a no-brainer that it was the work of the Su family!

Ye Chen clenched his fists slowly as he thought about this point . A cold smirk appeared at the corner of his lips . “Su family, thanks to you, not only did I, Ye Chen, not die after being tossed into the river, but I also returned to the city in all my majesty as the Emperor of Heaven . You’ll see! I’ll show you what it’s like to be an ant and what true fear is!”

Wu Lan thought Ye Chen was mad when she saw that he had gone quiet . She explained immediately, “Xiaochen, don’t blame Yuhan . Since you were gone, we asked her to abort the child because your father and I didn’t want her to suffer . However, that silly girl insisted on waiting for you to return . She even did the house chores and went to work while she was pregnant . She was also the one who took care of Mengmeng until she was two . When the people from the Su family came, she had no choice but to follow them . ”

“Mother, I know . She suffered all these years,” Ye Chen said with a smile, but the deadliness deep in his eyes was growing .

Judging by Su Yuhan’s character, she would not have left her daughter had she not been forced to . The Su family must have used some filthy techniques such as using Ye Chen’s parents to threaten her .

Wu Lan wiped her tears while speaking, “Yuhan has never once returned since she left . She can’t even contact me or your father . She must have suffered a lot throughout this time . Since we found out that Mengmeng has leukemia, your father went looking for her in Beijing . In the end, the Su family chased him out and broke his leg . ”

“I’ll bring Yuhan back myself one day . I promise that that day won’t be too far away . ” Ye Chen smirked coldly, the rage inside of him peaking .

How would the Su family reveal to Su Yuhan that Mengmeng had leukemia? If they did, she would definitely go mad .

Wu Lan had a slight change of expression when she seemed to sense what Ye Chen had in mind, “Don’t mess around . We can’t afford to offend the Su family . We are old . The only thing we hope for in this life is that you and Mengmeng are healthy . It’s just that Mengmeng…”

“Don’t worry, Mother . I learned some medical skills during the few years that I was gone . I can treat Mengmeng’s illness, but it requires some time to do that,” Ye Chen comforted her with a reassuring smile .

To ordinary people, leukemia was no different than a terminal illness . However, to him, the Mad Southern Immortal, a Rebirth Pill was all that was required to give Mengmeng a new life, as well as rebuild her vital energy and blood .

The only difficulty was that the Rebirth Pill required a Foundation Building cultivation base to refine . However, the spiritual power in his body had been exhausted . As long as he had sufficient spiritual energy, it was possible for him to become immortal again overnight .

Although that was the case, his body remained immortal .

It seemed like he had to think of ways to recover his cultivation base as soon as possible . It would be great if he could recover just a bit . By then, he could refine a Qi Blood Pill to help suppress Mengmeng’s illness . The effect would be a hundred times more powerful than that thing called Gleevec .

Ye Chen made his mind up secretly .

Wu Lan sighed and said nothing . She just treated what Ye Chen said as a consolation .

At the moment, a quarrel erupted outside the house . Stunned, Wu Lan stood up to walk to the door . “Your father has returned!”

Ye Chen caught up with her immediately .

When the mother and son arrived outside the house, they saw a middle-aged man with a wrinkly face and a work cap being surrounded by a bunch of people . The leader was a young man with bleached hair .

The middle-aged man was Ye Chen’s father, Ye Hai .

The young man with bleached hair glared at Ye Hai ferociously while chewing gum in his mouth . “Ye, you’ve been hiding from me for a few days . I’ve finally caught you, haven’t I? If you don’t return the money today, don’t blame me, Bao Kun, for not showing you mercy . ”

Hearing the name Bao Kun, the people around who wanted to stop the fight had a dramatic change in expression . They backed off far away, refusing to be dragged into it .

“I’ve no money at the moment . Can you give me more time?” Ye Hai pleaded with his cheeks flushing .

“No money? Don’t worry . Give us a finger as interest!”

Bao Kun spat his chewing gum out hard and grabbed a pair of scissors from his back . He said with a ferocious expression, “Pin this old fart’s hand down . I’ll teach him a lesson today!”

The few people behind him grabbed Ye Hai as soon as Bao Kun was done speaking .

Ye Chen was furious to witness such brutality . He signaled his mother to stand there, and he then shouted as he marched over, “Stop it right there!”

The people were dumbfounded to hear that his bold statement . They could not help but stare at him .

Bao Kun’s expression went grim immediately . “F*ck! Where did this dumba*s come from? How dare you stick your nose into my business? I’ll beat you up too if you don’t f*ck off!”

“You don’t deserve to know who I am!” Ye Chen glanced at him with grave coldness, then said to Ye Hai while smiling, “Father!”

Ye Hai was astonished as he gaped at Ye Chen in disbelief . “Xiaochen?”

“Yes, Father . What exactly happened?” Ye Chen nodded and proceeded to look at Bao Kun and the rest with deadly coldness .

With Ye Hai’s mouth opened wide, Bao Kun interrupted next to him, “Are you this old fart’s son? Great that you’re here . This old fart owes us 50,000 yuan . Return the money on behalf of him and kowtow a few times . Then, I’ll…”

Piakkk!

Before he was done speaking, Ye Chen lifted his arm and gave him a slap . “You have stinky breath! Also, don’t interrupt me when I talk!”

The slap was extraordinarily loud . Dead silence filled the space, and everyone stared at Ye Chen with their eyes wide open in disbelief . Even Ye Hai was shocked .

“H-How dare you f*cking slap me?” Bao Kun was dumbstruck by the blow . He only snapped back to reality after being stunned for a few seconds . He stared blankly at Ye Chen while holding his cheek in fury .

Piakkk!

Another slap landed on the other side of Bao Kun’s swollen face .

“Shut up!” Ye Chen ordered as he recalled his hand slowly with a deadly cruel expression .

Oh, no! It had turned into such a serious event now!

Ye Hai’s heart sank to the bottom at the moment .

As expected, a roar that was filled with rage and shame followed subsequently, “Everyone, kill this guy . I want him dead!!!”
