Chapter 646: 646

As soon as these words were uttered, the room instantly fell silent.

Then, Zhang Jingjing’s face darkened.

"Impudence!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you curse my father?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Zhang Jingjing.

Ha!

Yu Kaiping’s warning was not wrong; this woman indeed had a fiery temper.

Zhou Yu said indifferently,

"Right now, I’m probably the only one who can save your father."

"You ask what I am?"

Yan Kaining furrowed his brows and rebuked,

"The moment I saw this young man, I felt something was off about him. Little did I expect, he’s much more than that. I suspect he has ulterior motives for sneaking in here."

Zhou Yu was brought here by Yu Kaiping, and being scolded like this, his face didn’t look good either.

However, at this moment, he could only try to smooth things over.

"Both of you, please calm down, calm down."

"I’ve witnessed Zhou Yu’s medical skills myself; I can guarantee you, there’s absolutely no problem."

Yan Kaining snorted coldly.

"Uncle Yu, are you saying there’s a problem with the expert I invited?"

"No no... I didn’t mean..."

Just as Yu Kaiping was about to explain, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up,

"Yes, exactly."

"This old man indeed has a problem."

"Of course, I don’t exclude the possibility that the person who brought him here also has problems."

Zhou Yu’s words were almost a direct confrontation with Yan Kaining.

Yu Kaiping felt like dying.

He truly felt like crying without tears.

This was like lighting a powder keg.

Sure enough, before Yan Kaining could speak, Zhang Jingjing burst out in anger.

"I let you into my house for Uncle Yu’s sake."

"Who do you think you are?"

"How dare you slander Kaining, get out right now, or don’t blame me if someone breaks your legs and throws you out."

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly change and Zhang Jingjing’s fiery temper explode, Yu Kaiping braced himself and tried to mediate,

"Jingjing, Young Master Yan, please calm down."

Then, he turned his head and gave Zhou Yu a look, signaling him not to speak anymore.

Zhou Yu said faintly,

"Uncle Yu, I came here out of respect for you."

"I’ve said everything I ought to say, I’ve done my utmost."

After speaking, Zhou Yu turned and was ready to leave.

At that moment, Zhang Zheng, who had been silent, suddenly started speaking.

"Young Zhou, wait a moment."

When Zhang Zheng spoke, everyone else was momentarily stunned.

Zhang Jingjing’s face changed.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"You can’t possibly believe this arrogant youngster."

"This is really disrespectful to Kaining."

Zhang Zheng glared at his daughter, who had been like a lost soul ever since she started dating, lacking even basic decorum.

With one glare, although Zhang Jingjing was still angry, she dared not speak any further.

Zhou Yu stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhang Zheng, remaining silent.

Zhang Zheng’s gaze was profound.

As the head of the region, experienced and wise, he was seldom wrong in judging people.

Though Zhou Yu was young, on closer inspection, there was a composed and serene quality about him that is rare in young people of his age unless they possessed some exceptional skill.

On the other hand, his daughter’s boyfriend, Yan Kaining, although dignified and distinguished in appearance, had a restless spirit and murky eyes, clearly presenting a facade that was not as it seemed.

However, since Yan Kaining’s identity was that of the young master of the Yan Family, the foremost family in Haizhou, mishandling the situation could trigger many chain reactions, so he did not intervene too much.

But, as the governor of the province, his most commonly used approach in daily work was to embrace various opinions, including about his own illness.

Thus, after observing the reactions from all sides, he finally spoke up.

"Zhou Yu was invited by old Yu, who has been a good friend of mine for many years, and I must give him face,"

"Kaining, I think you should be able to understand that."

When Zhang Zheng said this, Yan Kaining was left speechless.

However, he still somewhat reluctantly said:

"Uncle Zhang, I am just worried that you, having recently recovered from a serious illness, might be agitated by this arrogant young man, which would be somewhat of a loss."

Zhang Zheng chuckled:

"Heh, no matter."

Then, he looked towards Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, let me first apologize for my daughter’s disrespectful words just now."

"Dad..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingjing became anxious immediately.

Zhang Zheng frowned, and Zhang Jingjing reluctantly closed her mouth.

Zhang Zheng looked again at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu indifferently said:

"The ignorant are not guilty."

"You..." Zhang Jingjing almost exploded with anger.

This young man actually dared call her ignorant.

Zhang Zheng, unconcerned, chuckled:

"Zhou Yu, you just said that my body won’t last a week, on what basis?"

Zhou Yu indifferently replied:

"The basis is my medicine."

"I have encountered many people afflicted with witchcraft, and whether the witchcraft in your body has been resolved or not, I can probably still judge."

"Probably?"

Zhang Zheng smiled and said:

"But just yesterday I was bedridden, and today, after being treated by Master Jiang, I feel completely recovered and have no discomfort at all."

"That only proves that this old man is very skilled at deceiving and hiding the truth."

The daoist priest beside Zhang Zheng, his expression darkened, angrily said:

"How dare you!"

"How dare you insult a senior like me in public?"

Zhou Yu looked up and chuckled lightly.

"Aren’t you a senior daoist priest, then how come you don’t even have this bit of tolerance?"

"Or, did I touch a sore spot?"

"You..." The daoist priest’s expression turned dark, his gaze coldly fixed on Zhou Yu, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Zhang Zheng fully observed the reaction of the old daoist.

He looked at Zhou Yu, a profound look in his eyes, and then slowly said:

"Zhou Yu, this is entirely conjecture. Master Jiang is my honored guest, and I will not allow him to be subjected to any unfounded suspicions or even verbal injuries here."

Zhou Yu inwardly sighed.

Sure enough, this is what it means to be a governor.

This statement, on one hand, defended the reputation of Master Jiang, and on the other, covertly told him that if there is suspicion, solid evidence must be presented.

Zhou Yu indifferently said:

"I need to examine to know the specific situation."

Zhang Zheng nodded:

"Can you examine now?"

"Dad!"

Zhang Jingjing became anxious.

"How can you let this unknown young man just examine you, what if he..."

Zhang Zheng waved his hand.

"I trust old Yu’s character."

"Zhou Yu, please proceed."
