"Since Dr. Zhou has admitted his mistake, how about we return all the treatment fees that Gu Zhilin paid over the past few months to him, and treat his research salary as treatment fees for radiation sickness?" Seeing that the two seemed to be ignoring his presence, Lu Jin'an forcefully interrupted the conversation.
Upon hearing this, the two people who were arguing turned around and looked over.
After hearing the other party's suggestion, Gu Zhilin's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded: "I think General Lu is right."
Zhou Muyun's face darkened: "It's really surprising that General Lu would ask for such a small amount of money."
Lu Jin'an shrugged nonchalantly, "This money belongs to Gu Zhilin. I just helped him get it back."
It seems there's no way he won't return the money today. After a moment of silence, Zhou Muyun said, "I can refund the money, but you have to come to the research center once every two weeks. I need to monitor your condition at any time, and you must fully cooperate with the research."
"When have I ever refused to cooperate?" Gu Zhilin chuckled.
However, Lu Jin'an was not satisfied: "Cooperation is fine, but it must be done without harming Gu Zhilin."
After saying that, fearing that she hadn't explained herself clearly enough, she added, "Including not leaving Gu Zhilin with any aftereffects, not even the slightest discomfort."
Zhou Muyun was speechless. If it were just Gu Zhilin, he could persuade him by using the excuse that scientific research requires sacrifice. But now Lu Jin'an was there, and it was obvious that Lu Jin'an was there to support Gu Zhilin.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and agree, and arranged for someone to refund all the medical expenses that Gu Zhilin had paid over the past few months.
In fact, Gu Zhilin didn't really want to get all the money back at first. At most, he wanted to try to cover the cost of treating radiation sickness in the future, so that he could reduce his financial burden.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin'an actually helped me recover all the initial expenses.
Suddenly, I no longer felt that meeting him here was an unlucky thing.
As expected, the divination I did before leaving home this morning was correct.
Having received the money, Gu Zhilin obediently followed Zhou Muyun's assistant to have his blood drawn. Perhaps because Zhou Muyun was in a good mood after paying, he not only arranged for the blood draw but also required Gu Zhilin to undergo a full-body examination.
Lu Jin'an patiently waited for him to complete all the examinations.
After finishing the inspection, Gu Zhilin was about to leave when he noticed that Lu Jin'an was still there. He was somewhat surprised: "You didn't leave?"
"I already told you I came to find you. How could I leave when you're still here?"
However, Gu Zhilin did not believe this statement: "Impossible. If you came to see me today, it's impossible that my divination would not show this."
Speaking of fortune telling, Lu Jin'an asked with great interest, "Do you do a fortune telling for yourself every time you go out?"
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "No."
Lu Jin'an thought so too; how could one possibly be fortune-telling every day?
To everyone's surprise, Gu Zhilin's next sentence was: "I consult a divination before making any decision."
...
"Is it okay to count this frequently?" Lu Jin'an looked at the man in front of her with some unease.
"If you have any problems and are unsure what to do, consult a divination master; it can help you avoid a lot of trouble."
“It is said that a doctor cannot heal himself, and the information I learned before also shows that a Taoist practitioner cannot perform divination for himself,” Lu Jin’an asked, puzzled.
Gu Zhilin smiled and shook his head: "Why not? Taoists cultivate for themselves. If they can't bring good fortune and avoid misfortune for themselves, what's the point of cultivating for them?"
That makes a lot of sense.
Lu Jin'an accepted this explanation.
How did you set Dr. Zhou's clothes on fire just now?
"It's just a simple Taoist technique. Why do you want to learn it?"
"May I?"
"Of course not. Although it's a simple spell, it's something I've practiced since I was a child. It's not something you can learn casually. Besides, if you don't believe in Taoist magic, it's very difficult to learn." Gu Zhilin checked the time; it was lunchtime.
Remembering that this man had helped him retrieve a large sum of money today, he generously said, "Thank you for today, General Lu. To express my gratitude, let me treat you to dinner."
Lu Jin'an, who had been refused to study with the other party, was surprised by this unexpected surprise and naturally wouldn't refuse.
Because they weren't very familiar with the Upper City area, Lu Jin'an chose the restaurant and took Gu Zhilin there directly.
The restaurant isn't big, but the ambiance is quite nice.
Moreover, they are in the form of private rooms, and each room offers a high degree of privacy.
Gu Zhilin was very satisfied with the environment here, but he found that it was different from the restaurants he usually went to, which mainly served nutritional supplements. The ingredients here were all natural foods.
Both raw meat and meat are available, and natural foods mean they are not cheap.
Gu Zhilin glanced at the balance in his account and spent a long time mentally preparing himself before he could barely convince himself.
Since it's unexpected wealth anyway, it's better to spend it.
Only then did I feel at ease enough to sit down and order food.
Lu Jinan sat quietly opposite Gu Zhilin, watching him order food and calculate the prices of the dishes.
For someone like him who has never lacked money, seeing this behavior was surprisingly endearing.
Moreover, this person was very serious, his fingers moved slightly when calculating the price.
Although Gu Zhilin calculated the prices when ordering, he did not stingily order cheap dishes.
After ordering, he asked Lu Jin'an if she wanted anything else.
Lu Jin'an also ordered several dishes without any hesitation, all of which were the flavors that Gu Zhilin liked, which he had inquired about with the staff at the Life Research Association earlier that day.
Gu Zhilin was completely unaware of this.
"What exactly did you come to the research center for today?" Gu Zhilin asked with some curiosity. After asking, he realized that this was no longer the 21st century. As the country's metaphysical advisor, many things were open to him.
Now that he is an ordinary citizen, there are many questions he shouldn't ask, so he added, "If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it."
Lu Jin'an was very satisfied with Gu Zhilin's self-awareness; he knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he was also very capable.
The person was matched to him by Endbrain after a rigorous screening process, and he really wanted to bring him back to the base right now!
But he knew it wasn't the right time yet. He didn't like to force people, especially since he had a very good impression of Gu Zhilin.
Therefore, they do not want to force Gu Zhilin.
Therefore, he did not report to the alliance that Gu Zhilin was his best partner and probably the only one who could match him in driving "Brilliance".
It simply means that you are contacting people who might be a match.
“Actually, what I just said wasn’t entirely a lie,” Lu Jin’an answered honestly. “The truth is that yesterday, the lunar fortress sent back traces of an unfamiliar creature, which needs to be identified by the Life Research Center. I don’t really need to make this trip.”
“But I know you lived here for more than a month, and I wanted to get to know you better, so I applied to come over.” The man spoke sincerely, his dark eyes looking at Gu Zhilin.
