Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Osteophytes
Fang Yuan stood in a corner, her face blank with shock. She had never expected Chen Yu to have such discernment.
This auction was incredibly niche, so there wasn't much on offer; it concluded in less than two hours.
However, the most precious item at the auction turned out to be the Qin King Breaking Array Diagram in Chen Yu's hands.
Even after the auction had ended, many people wanted to deal with Chen Yu, but he rejected them all.
"Mr. Chen, I need to discuss some matters with Victor in the coming days and plan to stay in the castle for a while. Could I ask Mr. Chen to help improve my health?"
Not long after the auction ended, Reynolds sought out Chen Yu directly. His private physician, Hans, had already disappeared, seemingly dismissed.
Chen Yu's lips curled slightly, "Of course, that's possible. I also need to do a follow-up check on Mr. Victor in these next few days."
Fang Yuan, watching from a distance, felt a sense of imbalance.
She could never have dreamed that Chen Yu could connect with William's family, and that the magnates around him were all treating him with utmost respect.
Fang Yuan had come to Frankfurt to draw on the capital here to co-produce a movie, mainly targeting Victor and Reynolds.
These two were like lords over this land, and the entire movie industry had to have their approval before taking any action.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and then briskly walked forward.
"Mr. Chen Yu!"
This call was almost a complete abandonment of her own dignity.
No matter how much she tried here, the two magnates, Reynolds and Victor, would likely not notice her.
Now, the only feasible plan was to make a connection with these two magnates through Chen Yu.
Chen Yu instinctively stopped and turned back.
Victor also turned back, "Mr. Chen, do you know this lady?"
A crafty flicker passed through Chen Yu's eyes, "How could I possibly know a lady of such outstanding elegance?"
Fang Yuan stood frozen on the spot, not expecting this outcome.
She suddenly felt her cheeks burning, as if Chen Yu had slapped her hard.
...
Reynolds lay in a hospital bed in a well-equipped ward, connected to various medical machines.
"Mr. Reynolds, it might hurt a bit soon, just bear with it."
After saying this, Chen Yu directly inserted fine needles into his major acupoints.
Reynolds was already in his seventies or eighties. His body was nearly at its end, with many of his joints suffering damage to varying degrees.
Additionally, having been treated with an excessive amount of stimulating medicines by other doctors, his condition worsened by the day.
To put it bluntly, Reynolds was currently hanging on to life by those medications, and once they were discontinued, his life would start to count down.
What Chen Yu was doing now was re-establishing Reynolds's meridians, stimulating the nerves in his body to rejuvenate his vitality.
It didn't take long before over sixty fine needles densely covered Reynolds's body.
"Mr. Chen, I don't feel any pain. It's just that I now feel like a hedgehog," Reynolds remarked.
Chen Yu chuckled lightly, "You might need to maintain this state for a full three days. During these three days, I will prepare some medicines specifically for you, and I hope you can cooperate with my treatment."
"Don't worry!" Reynolds suddenly felt an unprecedented passion.
From the moment Chen Yu inserted needles into his body, he began to feel his blood flow gradually accelerate until even his heartbeat became strong and forceful.
Just as Chen Yu was preparing a medicinal soup for Reynolds, a noisy commotion suddenly erupted outside the castle.
"Mr. Hanick, your own student's medical skills are lacking, so what does it have to do with others? You should properly discipline your student," said someone.
Victor's voice was extremely cold as he stood opposite an old man with a hunched figure.
"Impossible, Hans' medical skills are nearly equal to mine, how could he lose to someone under thirty years old? There must be some trickery involved."
Victor couldn't help frowning, as in his view, Hanick was completely making trouble out of nothing.
"Do the two of you sense any problems?" Chen Yu suddenly emerged from within the castle, his hands still stained with some herbal residue.
Hanick immediately raised his walking stick, pointing it at Chen Yu and cursing loudly.
"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be a young man from the East. He must have used some 'Demon Art' to bewitch you all. It would be best to pour away all the medicine he gave you and then drive him out, or else the entire William family will suffer terribly because of him."
There stood Chen Yu, who had merely come out to see what the fuss was about, and yet he was suddenly accused of so many things.
"Demon Art?"
Chen Yu couldn't help but find it amusing; what era was it already, and yet there were still people so ignorant and foolish.
He didn't want to bother with this fellow; after all, he hadn't finished preparing Reynolds' medicine yet.
But just as he was about to leave, Hanick actually raised his walking stick to strike.
Chen Yu couldn't help frowning; this was going too far.
He directly grabbed the walking stick and then stepped forward to seize the old man's arm.
[Suffering from severe bone proliferation, most joints have become calcified, life expectancy less than two months.]
As the system's notification sounded, Chen Yu also diagnosed the old man's ailment.
He really couldn't understand why such a sickly old man would come out to accuse him for no reason.
"Let go of my teacher!"
Hans shouted and rushed forward to grapple with Chen Yu.
Only then did Chen Yu understand that after all this commotion, the old man had come to stand up for Hans.
"Your teacher's body is already in dire straits. If he doesn't receive treatment, he won't live more than two months."
Hanick widened his eyes in disbelief; he was a doctor himself and was, of course, aware of his own body's condition.
Severe joint proliferation had wreaked havoc on his body.
If it had happened in his younger days, he might have been able to treat it himself, but now that he was old and frail, with a considerable loss of calcium from his bones, his skeleton was quite weak.
If forcefully treated, it would only hasten his death.
"Nonsense!" Hanick stubbornly argued, attempting to pull his walking stick back to continue attacking Chen Yu.
But Chen Yu was quick, pressing several acupoints on his arm and then firmly twisted it.
The clear sound of joints popping could be heard, and Hanick's previously twisted arm suddenly straightened, becoming flexible and mobile.
Hans stood there stunned: "Teacher, your arm seems..."
"Shut up!"
Hanick was somewhat angry; he certainly knew what had just happened. The bone deformation caused by long-term joint proliferation had been corrected in an instant.
