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

Chen Yu's brows furrowed tightly as he subconsciously placed his hand on Wu Xiaoxuan's pulse.

Her vital functions and physical condition were almost the same as a normal person's, the only exception being that her brain nerves were in extreme disorder, posing the risk of brain death at any moment.

How could a person who was paralyzed in bed, without even a sense of self, possibly have taken out a loan?

In a daze, Chen Yu suddenly noticed a patch of red ink on Wu Xiaoxuan's finger that hadn't been properly wiped away.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something and quickly checked the other patients, shockingly finding that many of them had the same red mark on their hands as Wu Xiaoxuan.

Chen Yu suddenly turned around, smiling at the middle-aged man before pinching his collapsed shoulder.

"If I'm not mistaken, you pressed their fingerprints without their knowledge, scanned their facial information, and then took out loans, didn't you?"

The middle-aged man howled in pain, "It's not my fault, we only handle debt collection, the borrowing was done by another group of people."

"So where are those people?" Chen Yu increased the pressure on his grip.

"I have their addresses, right here for you!"

The middle-aged man hastily took out a small notebook from his person and handed it to Chen Yu.

The notebook was crammed with the identity information of debtors, as well as the amount of money borrowed.

When Chen Yu saw the figures written, he stood frozen in place.

According to this record, on average, each person had borrowed around thirty thousand, but the repayment amount was about two hundred thousand.

Moreover, nearly all of the debts were overdue.

Chen Yu was immediately consumed with rage; setting aside whether the loan procedures were compliant, expecting a group of patients with cerebral palsy to repay the loans was simply impossible.

They were intentionally waiting for the debts to add up, and then would use the IOUs to approach the patients' families.

Hou Jianchang also understood the scheme, suddenly grabbing a cup from the side and smashing it onto the middle-aged man's head.

"Are you even human? These are patients who can't take care of themselves, and you're scamming even them out of their money!"

The pain in the middle-aged man's shoulder had caused his body to convulse continuously, and now that he had been hit on the head with a glass, fresh blood gushed out, nearly causing him to faint.

At that moment, a young man in his twenties, a relevant official dressed in uniform, hurried over with several staff members.

"Mr. Chen, Chief Zhou is still dealing with another case, so he sent me over first!"

Chen Yu had seen the young man before; he seemed to be a recent graduate from the police academy.

"I know you, you're Chief Zhou's apprentice, Li Ming, right?"

Li Ming nodded, then activated the recorder he was wearing.

Chen Yu recounted all the details and handed over the notebook he was holding.

After hearing the full story, Li Ming was also furious, but as an official, he had to follow the proper procedures.

"Mr. Chen, we will immediately open a case, but we will need your help with many of the details. When Chief Zhou asked me to come, he also said..."

"I understand!" Chen Yu interrupted, "Leave this guy to you for now. As for those who made the initial loans, I can assist in arresting them, you just need to give me two men."

"No problem!" Li Ming quickly assigned two men from those he brought with him.

Before long, Chen Yu and the two officers arrived at a rundown urban village.

Places like this were commonplace in Suzhou City, each one aptly described as dirty, messy, and bad, and within their small confines, power dynamics were exceedingly complicated.

Not only did they have local bullies, but there were also some dubious characters from outside.

The industries they were involved in were mostly illegitimate, but the departments in Suzhou City struggled due to the lack of evidence; otherwise, they would have taken them down a long time ago.

When Chen Yu, accompanied by two relevant personnel, entered the urban village, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The lookouts at the entrance of the village quickly reported their movements to their respective bosses.

Chen Yu didn't dawdle and led his people directly to a simple color steel house.

This place was extremely secluded, and there were two garbage factories outside, so usually, no one came here.

There were four or five guys on the lookout at the door, constantly wandering nearby.

Seeing Chen Yu approaching, they wanted to go in and report right away.

But they didn't expect Chen Yu to be so fast; in the blink of an eye, he was behind one of them, grabbed him by the back of his neck, and kicked him hard in the leg.

A crisp snap of bones echoed instantly, and the guy's legs were directly crippled, while the others widened their eyes, their faces filled with terror.

Before they could react, Chen Yu's figure flashed again, reaching another person, grabbed him by the back, and pushed hard, sending him crashing into the color steel house.

There were more than twenty people in the room, each looking fierce and threatening.

On their tables were piled various documents, most of which were medical information.

Each of them held an encrypted phone and was continuously making calls.

Seeing Chen Yu suddenly barge in, everyone was stunned for a moment.

The man leading them immediately stood up, grabbed an automatic weapon from the side, and aimed it straight at Chen Yu.

"Who the fuck are you? Do you have any idea what this place is to barge in like this, do you have a death wish?"

Chen Yu's mouth curved slightly upward, drawing a strange arc.

Then he threw the person he was holding out, knocking down the leader and several others to the ground.

The two relevant personnel who had followed Chen Yu rushed in, holding automatic weapons.

"Don't move, put your hands on your head, and squat in the corner!"

These people were purely evil and, far from being scared, they grabbed the weapons close at hand, preparing to fight back.

The two young personnel who had followed were inexperienced in going out.

Facing this scene for the first time, it was inevitable they felt a bit intimidated.

However, their solid professional training made them instinctively pull the trigger.

Chen Yu went straight forward and kicked the table flying, knocking over a dozen people to the ground.

He then grabbed the leader and lifted him up.

"The money you guys scammed out of the hospital, did it all go into your pockets?"

Chen Yu's voice was exceptionally cold, especially the eerie aura emanating from his body made everyone present feel a twinge of fear.

But the leader was surprisingly calm, "Kid, do you know where you are? You think you can just walk in and out whole?"

Chen Yu's mouth lifted slightly, "Since you say so, if I don't rip this place out by the roots, it would seem I'm not giving you face."

As soon as his voice fell, the exterior of the color steel house suddenly became chaotic.
