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

```

It was just past eight in the morning when customer traffic at the shop reached its peak.

Ever since Chen Yu had introduced his special free porridge, the number of delivery personnel frequenting the shop had increased significantly.

These delivery riders generally shared a common ailment, which Chen Yu's special porridge could alleviate.

Moreover, with orders potentially coming in every minute, they could snatch up orders even if they stayed put in the shop's lobby.

As Chen Yu was busy helping Wang Qingshan in the kitchen, a group of health inspectors suddenly entered the shop.

"Nobody move, routine inspection!"

A loud shout instantly quieted the entire shop, and then the employees, holding professional equipment, proceeded inside.

A middle-aged man with a serious look approached Chen Yu somewhat apologetically.

"Chen, don't overthink it. We're just responding to a report, so we're conducting a routine inspection! It's just a formality," he said.

Chen Yu didn't say much. The middle-aged man leading the group was Li Yang, head of the local environmental department.

The first time he had come to eat at the shop, he had already scoured the place thoroughly.

"No problem, Brother Li. Please, just do your search!"

Li Yang smiled and then licked his lips, scooping up a bowl of porridge from a nearby bucket.

"Ah, what did you add to this porridge? Drinking it makes the whole body feel warm and comfortable!"

"Licorice, Panax notoginseng, along with some common Chinese herbs," Chen Yu responded offhandedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang had another bowl.

"You tell me, you serve such good porridge for free; if it were me, I'd sell it for ten or eight yuan a bowl.

The delivery boy nearby was not pleased.

"Brother Li, Chen is giving out free porridge to take care of us! You saying that is like depriving us of our benefits!"

Li Yang laughed heartily, "I'm only joking."

The inspection team searched upstairs and downstairs and, finding nothing amiss, quickly gathered in the first-floor lobby preparing to leave.

Just then, a man wearing sunglasses suddenly shouted.

"Yikes! Why is there a giant centipede in this vegetable roll?"

That shout instantly drew everyone's attention. The man in sunglasses held the vegetable roll high up for all to see.

Indeed, a centipede was wriggling inside.

Several people on the scene jumped in fear, letting out shrieks.

Li Yang, too, widened his eyes and stepped forward, taking the vegetable roll from the man's hand.

Unexpectedly, the centipede twisted its body and bit Li Yang on the wrist.

Li Yang cried out in pain and took a few steps back, clutching his wrist.

Chen Yu's pupils dilated. The head of the centipede was blood-red, a trait only found in toxic tropical centipedes.

Without a moment's delay, Chen Yu swiftly moved forward to support Li Yang while swiftly stomping on the centipede that had fallen to the ground.

"Brother Li, don't move, keep your breathing even! Otherwise, the poison will spread through your entire arm, and by then we'll have to amputate," Chen Yu said.

```

Li Yang was taken aback and forcefully controlled his breathing, despite the severe pain.

Chen Yu urgently asked Tong Ya to fetch the spare medical kit from upstairs and had Wang Qingshan throw him a rope to tie around Li Yang's arm to slow the blood circulation temporarily.

After the medical kit was brought down, Chen Yu made a small cut on the site where Li Yang was bitten by the centipede, let the poisoned blood out, and then treated it simply.

"Alright, Big Brother Li, I've cleaned out the poison, but I still recommend that you go to the hospital for a checkup."

It was only then that Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't leave just yet.

The man with the sunglasses, who had caused a scene earlier, was still standing there with his arms crossed.

Li Yang glanced at the man and ordered his capture.

The man with the sunglasses was immediately taken aback, "What is this about? They found a centipede in their establishment, that's a clear hygiene issue. Why aren't you arresting him? Why arrest me instead?"

Li Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Do you really think that all of us in the hygiene department are fools? How could there possibly be a tropical centipede in a place like this?"

Departments like theirs have a basic ability to recognize various snakes, insects, rodents, and ants.

Get hooked on mvl _emp _yr novels.

Li Yang, who had over a decade of professional experience, could identify the origin of the centipede at a glance.

The man with the sunglasses paused for a moment, "What are you implying? I'm the one who found the centipede in my food, I'm the victim here. Are you trying to frame me, or what?"

The nearby customers and delivery riders all gathered around, staring down the man with disdainful looks akin to an execution by a thousand cuts.

"Kid, if you want to cause trouble, at least pick the right place. In the free porridge that Boss Chen serves daily, you can't even find a grain of sand, let alone a live centipede in your dumpling."

"I've been eating here for almost a month and have never found anything unsightly in my dumplings. Yet, you somehow managed to find a tropical centipede!"

...

In no time, the man with the sunglasses was drowned in a barrage of spit and censure.

Li Yang also shook his somewhat numb arm.

"Infuriating. I knew there had to be a malicious report. Take him back for a thorough investigation; if the situation is severe, hand him over to another department."

When the man with the sunglasses was led out the door, he still wore a dazed expression, not expecting his once reliable tactic to fail so miserably here.

Whereas most customers would empathize with someone who found something filthy in their food, why did everyone here turn against him instead?

Just because the centipede's origin was wrong? It was still a centipede!

The farce eventually came to an end, and everyone's opinion of Chen Yu rose even higher.

Especially with his professional handling of Li Yang's wound, which left onlookers in awe.

The elderly men and women who had been cured of their ailments by Chen Yu's medicinal cuisine also gathered around.

"Chen, you claimed to have a rough knowledge of medicine, but I say you're a professional doctor. You might as well apply for a license and open a small clinic here!"

"Indeed, the illnesses that cost us tens of thousands at the hospital were cured by your bowl of medicinal cuisine. Calling you a miracle doctor wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

Chen Yu frowned, not wanting to be labeled too much.

Just then, a tourist group of about a dozen people entered the restaurant, as if they had deemed it a must-visit destination.

After a flamboyant introduction by the tour guide, two tourists stopped Han Cai, who was passing through the hall.

"Excuse me, why don't you have covered rice here? Isn't your boss renowned for his Sichuan cuisine?"
