Chapter 1507 - 1505: Over the Limit?

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1505: Over the Limit?

Yang Chen quietly walked to the fish tank and looked closely at it.

After taking a look around, Yang Chen asked, "Uncle Zhuo, who gave you all these things?"

"My nephew, he came to visit me from our hometown, said he wanted to give me some fish to keep for fun." Elder Zhuo said with a smile.

Looking at the Arowana swimming in the tank, with smooth lines and graceful posture, such a top-notch item must be quite expensive.

The flowerhorns and koi over here were also very well taken care of.

The tropical fish were even more lively, looking like a scene by themselves.

Having looked at everything, Yang Chen sighed inwardly.

These things must be worth a fortune!

"Uncle Zhuo, these things are not cheap, right?" Yang Chen asked.

Elder Zhuo didn’t hide anything and said with a smile, "Not cheap, they count up to about a million!"

"What about this..." Yang Chen pointed to a tree root in the tropical fish tank.

Because he vaguely saw a golden sparkle on the tree root.

Elder Zhuo seemed very excited, bending down, pointing at the tree root, said cautiously, "Look from here! There’s a mark I made. From here, can you see it?"

Yang Chen nodded, he had just seen the golden sparkle from there.

"This is top-quality Golden Phoebe! Absolutely top-notch, hard to find in the world!" Elder Zhuo seemed very excited, "After I’m gone, this thing will be left to you. This item’s preciousness isn’t about its value, it’s because it was for emperors in ancient times, very rare, even more so for Golden Phoebe, even rarer. You can’t find a big piece of Golden Phoebe like this!"

Yang Chen nodded secretly, and became even more suspicious in his heart.

"And this!" Elder Zhuo pointed to the aquatic plants below and said: "I planted all these aquatic plants myself, they’re growing very well now. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll replace the tank with a bigger one, it’ll look better!"

Yang Chen nodded, observing the situation in the water.

"As the saying goes in feng shui, for a house to have good feng shui, there must be air and water!" Elder Zhuo explained with a smile, "Now, my house is well-ventilated, plus these fish tanks, the feng shui is very effective!"

Yang Chen was helpless, "Uncle Zhuo, why do you believe in this kind of thing!"

"Why can’t I believe it?" Elder Zhuo said, "This can also be explained scientifically. Just different magnetic fields have different effects on the human body. Now we have everything, and the environment is good, naturally, the body is also better, it does have its effects on people."

On this point, Yang Chen couldn’t refute.

"These things are all so expensive, and your nephew gave them to you, what if someone finds out..." Yang Chen asked cautiously.

Elder Zhuo seemed to have anticipated Yang Chen’s worries and said with a smile, "You don’t need to worry, I paid for all these things myself!"

"You bought them yourself?" Yang Chen was very surprised.

Elder Zhuo nodded, looking at Yang Chen’s astonished expression, and laughed, "What did you think I’ve been doing all these years? My salary isn’t low now! The savings from a lifetime are enough to buy these things."

As for the money, Yang Chen didn’t care.

Yang Chen was mainly concerned about another issue, "Aren’t these arrangements over the limit?"

"What’s there to be over the limit! My retirement file has already been approved, by this time next year I’ll be retired, then I can play however I want, who can manage me? Moreover, all these things were bought with my saved money, if they can find that out, what am I afraid of!"

Elder Zhuo had a look of someone who did nothing wrong, unafraid of being caught.

Yang Chen helplessly smiled wryly.

It seemed his worries were unnecessary.

"That’s good then! Saves me the worry! Tell me more, where did you get this Golden Phoebe? This thing is really precious!" Yang Chen said to Elder Zhuo.

Elder Zhuo excitedly told Yang Chen, "It’s a funny story, that day I..."

Ye Xin looked at the two men leaning by the fish tank, studying the things in the water and discussing enthusiastically, couldn’t help but shake her head with a light laugh.

She went to the tea table, turned on the tea water, and made tea for the two men.

When the two of them finished their study, they finally came to their senses and smelled the tea fragrance.

"Haha! Let’s have some tea, Xiaoxin has made the tea ready." Elder Zhuo laughed heartily and said to Ye Xin: "Sorry, Xiaoxin, we forgot about you."

"It’s okay, Uncle Zhuo, it’s rare for you to find something you like so much." Ye Xin said with a smile.

Elder Zhuo sat down, shaking his head, and said, "I’m just messing around, used to play with bonsai, now with fish, who knows what I’ll play with next! Mainly because I’m old, finding something to pass the time, otherwise... the process of waiting for death is too long!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen’s face suddenly turned cold.

"Uncle Zhuo! What are you saying! Your health is good now, you can still live for a long time, you’re still young!" Ye Xin quickly interjected.

Elder Zhuo waved it off, "I know my own body. I have a lot of old problems left from the war, I’m getting older, can’t handle it anymore."

Yang Chen immediately said, "I’ll find time to adjust your health for you!"

"It’s useless, don’t waste efforts, things are just fine this way." Elder Zhuo said with a smile.

Yang Chen didn’t answer, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

After having tea, the kitchen began to prepare dinner.

After dinner, having chatted sufficiently, Yang Chen proposed to help Elder Zhuo with his health.

"Really no need for the trouble." Elder Zhuo waved it off.

"Lie down first!" Yang Chen’s attitude was firm.

Helplessly, Elder Zhuo could only lie down.

Yang Chen began to give Elder Zhuo a massage to adjust his health.

The massage Yang Chen did was not ordinary; while massaging, he used his internal strength to channel energy flow, repairing the body’s internal meridians.

Elder Zhuo didn’t hold much hope initially, but once Yang Chen started, he began to notice a difference.

His whole body felt warm and very comfortable, as if the strength penetrated into his bones, extremely comfortable!

"Xiaochen, your technique is good, where did you learn it?" Elder Zhuo asked.

Yang Chen explained with a smile, "Developed it myself, long-term illness makes a good doctor, everyone has injuries during training, and we practiced massage on each other."

"Not bad, not bad! Very comfortable, a bit more to the left, that’s where I got shot back then." Elder Zhuo said.

Yang Chen sensed it, Elder Zhuo’s injury here was indeed quite serious, and it seemed like it was acting up recently too.

Yang Chen began to increase the strength of the massage.

Soon, Elder Zhuo actually fell asleep.

After a round of massage, Yang Chen’s forehead also had beads of sweat.

Not because of physical exertion, but precisely using his internal strength made Yang Chen very mentally fatigued and consumed his energy.

Looking at the sleeping Elder Zhuo, Yang Chen bent down and picked him up like a child, gently carrying him up to the second floor.

After placing Elder Zhuo on the bed, and gently covering him with a blanket, Yang Chen then left the room.

As he went downstairs, Yang Chen saw Ye Xin motioning to him.
