"Oh~ Don't neglect Jin'an's friend, it's rare for Jin'an to bring a friend back..."
Du Zhiyuan smiled and deliberately used the word "friend" with a hint of sarcasm.
Everyone present could sense the gossip in the conversation.
Of course, Yu Wanling and Lu Yu are exceptions; both of them have the same grumpy face.
Lu Yu noticed Lu Jin'an when he came in, but she was still angry and pretended not to see him, without even saying hello.
At this moment, he disdainfully turned his head away, showing his dissatisfaction.
Yu Wanling, inside the lifebuoy, was filled with rage. She wished she could rush out right now, find Li Xin'er, scratch her face, and tear her to pieces.
That way, that bitch can't compete with her for Lu Jin'an.
His mind was extremely twisted, but on his face he had a pitiful look that made people feel sorry for him.
She looked at Lu Jin'an with tears in her eyes, "Brother Jin'an~"
His tone was gentle, but filled with endless grievances.
Lu Jin'an frowned deeply and corrected him seriously:
"Dr. Yu, I only have one younger sister, Xiaoyu."
Lu Yu: My brother is a scumbag!
Lan Mingxuan: Ha, so this is the man you've set your sights on.
Yu Su: Sigh, it's pitiful. Of all people to like, he had to fall for a 'extreme challenge' level of toughness like his brother.
Du Zhiyuan: The Lu family lad has a history of romantic entanglements.
Others: Wow~ There's a story here!
'Pfft~'
Li Xin'er, who was drinking water, suddenly spat it out.
If she were here, she would definitely pat Lu Jin'an on the shoulder and say something.
"Kid, you can talk."
Yu Wanling's palms were clenched so tightly they were bleeding, and her face was burning red.
He put on a heartbroken act, burying his head and not raising it for a long time.
The lifebuoy was too large to be moved out of Yu Wanling's rest room, so Du Zhiyuan ordered the rest room to be protected.
He claimed it wouldn't affect the normal operation of other medical departments, but in reality, Du Zhiyuan just wanted the researchers to study this thing properly.
Yu Wanling didn't take it to heart. She thought that the lifebuoy would disintegrate and disappear into water automatically after six hours anyway.
At that point, she won't have anything to do anymore.
But in reality, it's not that simple. The appearance of the lifebuoy was like opening up a new world for those trapped in the apocalypse.
They desperately needed to know what the material was and where the lifebuoy came from, wanting to firmly grasp this opportunity to save themselves.
So, after six hours, everyone watched in disbelief as the lifebuoy turned into a puddle of water. They were initially incredulous, but then they rushed to collect samples of the water from the ground.
Finally, Yu Wanling was unilaterally taken away by Du Zhiyuan on the grounds that he was worried that the lifebuoy was harmful to her health and that she needed to undergo a comprehensive physical examination.
This is the medical department. What kind of comprehensive examination can't be done here?
Yu Wanling was terrified, but Lan Mingxuan was also on Du Zhiyuan's side, and he gave her a reassuring look.
"Don't be afraid, Sister Wanling."
With him around, no one will be allowed to hurt her.
Yu Wanling was relieved after secretly checking Lan Mingxuan's stable 75 favorability rating on the system panel.
She readily agreed to cooperate, giving Lan Mingxuan a trusting and gentle smile.
"Okay, with Mingxuan here, I'm not afraid."
"Ding, mission target Lan Mingxuan, favorability +3, current favorability 78%."
The system's voice came through, and Yu Wanling's heart jumped again.
She was scared, afraid that the system would malfunction again. The system didn't have any storage space, and any items exchanged would immediately drop.
"System, can I not redeem the points yet?"
"30 points redeemed successfully, current points balance: 30".
After the broadcast was finished, the system's cold voice sounded again.
Points can be redeemed immediately and will not be stored for later.
Yu Wanling no longer had the mind to curse the system. She was uneasy as she walked down the corridor of the medical department, her hands clenched tightly under the sleeves of her white coat, her palms sweaty.
She was afraid that something might fall out as she walked.
She was also worried that the things she was carrying might be discovered during the examination.
Li Xin'er, with her legs crossed, watched with great interest as Yu Wanling showed her nervousness.
At this moment, she was no longer in a hurry to make a move. She was in a state of high tension, constantly worried that something unexpected might happen at any moment. This made Yu Wanling restless, which was quite interesting.
With Yu Wanling taken away, no one else who didn't belong to Du Zhiyuan had any reason to follow her.
Lu Yu was simple-minded and didn't think much about it. She assumed it was just a simple check-up and left without any concern, returning to her post.
Lu Jin'an and You Su quickly returned to report the situation to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng's office.
Lu Zheng held Yu Wanling's item level list, which she used to record each time she returned to base after going out.
"Is it possible that she is a dual-elemental ability user?"
The list detailed all the items Yu Wanling brought back, but the lifebuoy was not among them.
There wasn't even anything spherical.
Yu Su understood Lu Zheng's meaning and replied, "Does the base commander mean that she concealed the space system?"
However, before Lu Zheng could respond, Lu Jin'an interrupted, reminding him:
"Yu Wanling's reaction today was quite obvious; being wrapped in a lifebuoy was also unexpected for her."
Yu Su also realized what was happening and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, and I just asked Xiaoyu, and she said it happened so suddenly that Yu Wanling didn't even have time to react."
