After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chen Yu reconnected some essential breathing and life detection equipment back to the patient's body.

Immediately, various sets of data appeared on the screen.

The group of doctors blocking the door were left dumbfounded; they had never imagined that someone in this world could actually cure a cerebral palsy patient.

Before this, they had even invited several individuals with innate superpowers over, yet even they couldn't manage it.

As they were struck with astonishment, Chen Yu left the room and went straight to the ward next door.

The patient in this room had been infected with an unknown radiation virus, which had been rampaging through his body for thirty days.

From a medical standpoint, this patient had only half a month left to live, and a large number of protective devices were set up around his ward, for fear that the radiation virus on him would spread.

The nurses and doctors in the hospital were reluctant to enter this ward, to the extent that once they heard the patient had only a few days left, they even stopped delivering his meals.

However, Chen Yu appeared indifferent to the radiation virus and swaggered into the room.

Although curious, no one dared to approach the ward.

As they waited anxiously outside, the monitoring equipment in the room suddenly made a sound.

"The radiation virus is rapidly weakening and has reached normal levels."

The onlookers outside the ward were immediately astounded.

They knew all too well how formidable the radiation virus in the room was, so much so that even with protective measures in place, when they occasionally went in to deliver meals, they would wear layers of protective gear.

Chen Yu had entered without any protection, and now the radiation virus inside had dropped to normal levels.

A few of the braver young doctors craned their necks to look inside and saw that the patient, who had been at death's door, was now sitting up, clutching Chen Yu's hand and waving it about, seemingly expressing his thanks.

"My God, how did he do it just now?"

"To enter a room with such serious radiation virus and come out without any issues..."

"Who on earth is this guy? Could he be someone sent down from above for inspection?"

"This medical skill is incredible; he alone is worth an entire hospital!"

...

While everyone was marveling, Zhou Wutong entered the room reluctantly.

When he saw the equipment showing that everything was normal, he stiffened up like a stone.

"Dean Zhou, we agreed earlier that if I cured one patient, you would pay me five billion. Now that I've cured two, according to our agreement, you owe me ten billion."

Zhou Wutong finally came to his senses, "Who exactly are you? I haven't heard of you in the patrol team." Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Chen Yu didn't say much more and directly reached into Zhou Wutong's coat pocket, pulling out three banknotes.

The fellow was indeed wealthy, carrying three billion on his person.

"Dean Zhou, you still owe me seven billion. How about we use the medicine from the hospital's warehouse to settle the debt?"

Zhou Wutong's breathing suddenly became rapid.

This was the desert region, where medicine was as precious as water sources.

The stash in the warehouse was what Sky Sand City had accumulated over more than twenty years; how could he possibly let someone take it away?

"Kid, don't even think about it. There's no way I'm letting you take the medicine from the warehouse! But your identity is worth identifying. I'm going to call the city lord right now and find out if there's someone like you in Sky Sand City."

With that, Zhou Wutong picked up the phone, but just as he was about to dial, Chen Yu stepped forward and grabbed his neck.

"Director Zhou, I didn't expect you to be so shameless," Chen Yu said. "We had just agreed on this, are you going back on your word?"

Zhou Wutong's eyes widened with anger: "You are definitely not from the patrol team."

"So what?" Chen Yu said with an indifferent expression, "Right now, load the medicine from the warehouse onto the truck; I am taking it away."

Zhou Wutong gritted his teeth: "Dream on, I'll never hand the medicine over to you!"

Chen Yu turned his gaze directly to the doctors outside the door.

"Do it now, as I said, or I will kill your director."

The doctors immediately panicked, as the relationship between the director and the City Lord was no ordinary one; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the director with his mediocre medical skills.

They immediately called the warehouse to have a truck filled with medical supplies packed up.

Without lingering any longer, Chen Yu took Zhou Wutong as his hostage and walked toward the warehouse.

When going up to the third floor, Chen Yu had already instructed Ba Wan to go to the warehouse in advance and wait there.

At this moment, a truck was being hastily loaded with medicine by the anxious workers inside the warehouse, and Ba Wan had already climbed into the truck's co-driver seat early on.

By the time Chen Yu and Zhou Wutong arrived, the truck was fully loaded.

"Director Zhou, thank you so much," Chen Yu said. "This batch of medicine is exactly what I urgently need."

After patting Zhou Wutong's shoulder, Chen Yu jumped onto the truck and drove off into the distance.

Zhou Wutong was so angry he clenched his teeth and rushed into the warehouse.

The truck that had just been taken was the largest one they had, capable of moving an eighth of the warehouse's medicines.

Indeed, large empty spaces now appeared in the once fully stocked warehouse.

"What the hell are you guys good for? Had I not come here, would you dare to load the medicine?"

The several workers who were loading the truck were utterly confused by the scolding; the person who came to give the orders earlier had used Director Zhou's name, or else they wouldn't have dared to load the truck.

Now, they were being blamed for it.

Just as Zhou Wutong was about to call the City Lord to report the situation, a piercing alarm sounded in the sky.

"Urgent notice, scorpions have entered the city; people, secure your doors and windows, activate the defenses, Sky Sand City is going into lockdown."

Fear reached an extreme on Zhou Wutong's face; he hurriedly hung up the phone, ordered the warehouse doors to be closed, and activated the perimeter defenses himself before he frantically returned to the hospital.

Upon hearing the broadcast, Chen Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Scorpions? Is that someone's code name? How terrifying."

Ba Wan's breathing also became rapid, his face showing a hint of horror.

"It's the Myriad Poison Scorpion from the desert! Just one drop of its venom can kill more than forty strong men at once!"

Chen Yu was startled; he had heard of such creatures in the desert, known for their extremely potent venom.

But even then, it seemed impossible for it to kill more than forty people at once.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought without dwelling on it, and floored the gas pedal to drive the truck back to the shantytown.

Chen Yu's brow furrowed deeply; a mere scorpion managed to scare the people in the city like this; it seemed this creature was definitely not simple.

Just as he was about to call out to the people here to receive the medicine, a whizzing sound suddenly came from not far away.
