Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Hero's Proof
Both sides suddenly confronted each other there, neither of them taking a step forward, but both eyes were filled with intense vigilance.
"Waiter, how much is this action figure!"
Chen Yu suddenly shouted, instantly drawing the attention of the entire hall to him.
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was caught off guard, Chen Yu's body flashed, and he immediately grabbed Scarface's arm.
Before the other could react, Chen Yu held the little boy in his arms and retreated several steps.
Scarface's eyes widened in shock, his originally fierce gaze filled with terror.
The middle-aged man next to him also shouted excitedly, running to Chen Yu's side and taking the child from him.
"Little treasure! Are you okay? Daddy was so worried!"
The little boy burst into tears, "Daddy, I'm scared!"
Seeing this, Scarface didn't dare stay any longer and hurriedly turned and ran toward the elevator.
Chen Yu didn't care about anything else, and directly picked up an action figure from nearby and threw it.
With a loud crashing sound, Scarface fell to the ground and was immediately restrained by the surrounding security personnel.
But the nearby waiter also stood up, "Hey, what are you doing? That's our newly released action figure, and it's expensive! You smashed it, how are you going to compensate?"
Chen Yu frowned, as he had been desperate to save someone and had no choice but to grab the action figure.
The crowd around him was indignant, filling the air with complaints.
However, Chen Yu was not angry, knowing that the waiter was just working there, and his boss would definitely make him pay for the damaged figurine.
Moreover, the action figure was priced at over two thousand yuan, and how could he, a part-time worker not yet twenty years old, afford to compensate for it.
Chen Yu let out a slight breath and directly took out his phone to transfer the money, then picked up the action figure.
The waiter did not expect Chen Yu to be so straightforward, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Daddy is so awesome!"
Tuan Tuan clapped her hands cheerfully and quickly came forward to take the action figure from Chen Yu's hand.
"Can I have this?"
Chen Yu frowned slightly, "This action figure is already broken, daddy will get you a new one."
"I don't want it!" Tuan Tuan clung to the broken figure, refusing to let go, "This is the proof of daddy's heroism, I want to keep it as a collectible."
Those words made the waiter feel even more embarrassed.
Chen Yu ruffled Tuan Tuan's little head, and then led her and Tong Ya into the movie theater.
The excitement spread among the onlookers, many inquiring which movie Chen Yu was watching, wanting to get a closer look at the hero.
Chen Yu was quite exasperated, having just sat down in the theater, he found a large group of people coming in.
He had no choice but to watch the movie to its end, with a sense of frustration.
The next morning at eight o'clock, Chen Yu took Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan to the resort villa.
Suzhou City's tourism business was already doing well; aside from some characteristic ancient towns, there were a large number of resort villas.
However, most of these resort villas were nestled deep in the mountains, purportedly to get close to nature, but in reality, it was to develop some barren areas, which essentially was a form of poverty alleviation.
Yet such poverty alleviation plans were extremely prone to loopholes.
After all, not everyone likes to venture deep into the mountains and forests!
Moreover, these deep mountains are generally uninhabited now, so the so-called poverty alleviation plan is just about getting some subsidies.
When Chen Yu and his family arrived there, they found the place extremely desolate, and they could even see pieces of an abandoned roller coaster at the entrance.
"Dad, is this really a resort? I feel like it's more like an adventure house!"
Tuan Tuan couldn't help but complain, and even Tong Ya felt somewhat depressed.
However, neither of them had any complaints, knowing full well that they didn't come here just for fun.
The family of three had just gotten off the car when the bus driver immediately turned around and hurriedly fled.
Chen Yu was instantly a bit downcast.
Earlier, the driver had been advising them, saying that the place was eerie and had been abandoned and that it would be best for them to leave quickly.
But Chen Yu simply wouldn't listen.
Now that the driver had dropped them off, he was unwilling to stay a moment longer.
Chen Yu didn't say much, simply leading Tong Ya and Tuan Tuan into the resort complex.
It wasn't long before they followed a mountain path and arrived at a village that seemed long abandoned.
This place appeared to have been refurbished, with exquisite small villas everywhere.
However, among these villas, there were a large number of old boxes.
Each box was oddly shaped, and they all had a small opening for divination on them.
From time to time, some black powder would drift out of them, with a particularly disgusting smell.
Just then, an elderly woman leaning on a walking stick, coughing, shuffled towards them.
"Hello there, are you folks here to have fun?"
Chen Yu couldn't help but frown; he noticed that the skin on the old woman was largely black.
"Yeah, but why is there no one around? I heard this place was bustling!"
The old woman let out a sigh, "Indeed, this place used to be very bustling, but ever since a strange disease spread here, we've fallen on hard times, and many people have left!"
Chen Yu sized up the elderly woman in front of him, then stepped forward, grabbing her wrist.
Before the woman could react, Chen Yu let go of her hand.
"Old lady, how many people are left at the resort now?"
The woman sighed helplessly, "Including myself, there are only eight old timers left. Maybe it won't be long before we die here too."
Chen Yu didn't say much, just asked the old woman to gather all the people here.
The old woman didn't say much either; after all, Chen Yu and his family were there for a visit, and as hosts, they should at least offer some hospitality.
Before long, eight elderly figures, frail and lean, shuffled out, supporting each other.
When they saw Chen Yu and his family, they were also taken aback.
The current state of the resort was definitely not suitable for visitors.
Chen Yu didn't care about that; he immediately gave the prepared medicinal broth to the eight old people.
After drinking the medicine, they instantly felt much better, and two of them with milder conditions even recovered on the spot.
"My God, what kind of medicine is this? It's so miraculous, I'm completely healed!"
"You must be angels sent by the heavens to save us; otherwise, you wouldn't appear out of nowhere at such a time!"
"That's right, you are the gods of our place!"
"Why don't we call everyone back now? No need to spend money on treatment outside!"
...
The eight elderly people were so excited they could hardly contain themselves; this meant their resort could come back to life again.
