Chapter 144 The Best Candidate



Later he learned that his biggest obstacle was Wei Xiaoshan. She had been with Lu Yuan for far too long, and it was practically impossible for him to become the other woman. But doing so would also be unfair to Wei Xiaoshan.

Thinking of this, Kong Hanting felt relieved.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your advice, Aunt Huang. I almost did something stupid! I'll be more careful in the future!"

After saying that, Kong Hanting continued working.

The next morning, Lu Yuan received a message from Kong Hanting.

"Zhou Yong, a retired special forces soldier, currently lives in Xindu Community, Qingshui City. He is a good person and used to be my bodyguard, but he left later due to some other reasons!"

Lu Yuan became interested upon seeing this. Wei Xiaoshan, who was sleeping beside him, was woken up by Lu Yuan and rubbed her eyes with some dissatisfaction.

Why are you so excited so early in the morning?! Can't a person get some sleep?!

"Ahem! Sorry, I'm just a little excited. I've finally found someone to go to Shanxi Province, so I don't have to go with them anymore!"

A smile appeared on Wei Xiaoshan's face.

"Okay! That's good. I'm a little sleepy, I'll sleep a little longer, please don't disturb me!"

Lu Yuan quickly got out of bed, washed up briefly, and headed straight to the factory. On the way, he made a special call to Kong Hanting, asking her to come to the factory to meet and discuss things in detail.

After waiting for a while, Lu Yuan saw Kong Hanting walking over wearing a denim jacket.

Do you still have Zhou Yong's contact information?

The other person nodded.

"Yes, I did. I couldn't find it before, so I didn't send it to you. I had to search through my old notes for a long time to find it. How about it, do you want to go and see if he's suitable?"

"Of course we should go see him! You call him first to see where he is, and then we'll go together to check on him!"

Kong Hanting nodded, then took out her phone and dialed Zhou Tong's number.

After a while, the other party finally answered the phone.

Kong Hanting quickly asked, "Brother Zhou Tong, hello, I'm Kong Hanting!"

The other party was stunned after hearing this.

"You're Miss Kong! Hello! What can I do for you?"

Kong Hanting glanced at Lu Yuan, and then Lu Yuan took the phone and said, "Hello Brother Zhou Tong, I am Kong Hanting's friend. My name is Lu Yuan. I would like to ask you to help me deliver some things, so I took the liberty of making this call."

The other party was clearly unhappy after hearing this, but did not show it because of Kong Hanting.

"Sorry, I'm a bodyguard, not a delivery driver. You've got the wrong person! If there's nothing else, I'll hang up!"

Lu Yuan quickly said, "No, no, no! I'm not looking for a delivery driver. These things are very important, so I want to find someone to deliver them. You happen to be a good fit, so I'd like you to escort them there. The price is negotiable!"

After a moment of silence, the other person said, "Sorry, I don't really need it! You should find someone else!"

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone, and Lu Yuan stared at his phone, lost in thought.

"Lu Yuan, as far as I know, Brother Zhou Tong seems to have a younger sister who suffers from congenital heart disease. She should be around seventeen or eighteen years old this year. But I heard that it's because of his sister that Brother Zhou Tong became a bodyguard to earn money. Otherwise, with his status as a retired special forces soldier, he could easily find any job that many people would take!"

Lu Yuan nodded, but the sense of mystery surrounding the other person grew stronger. After all, Lu Yuan was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person because of the fruit. If she didn't have the fruit, she might not have survived to this point.

Therefore, he wanted to get in touch with Zhou Tong. Even if Zhou Tong disagreed with delivering the meat, it would be quite nice to get to know him and make friends. If possible, Lu Yuan even wanted to learn a couple of killer moves from Zhou Tong. After all, Lu Yuan had watched a lot of martial arts instruction videos online, but he knew that truly deadly moves wouldn't be taught online.

Do you know where his sister is receiving treatment?

Kong Hanting was somewhat surprised.

"It seems like all the hospitals have closed now, how could he possibly be in one! Right, there are only a handful of cardiologists in Qingshui City, if we try to find him through those specialists, we should be able to locate Zhou Tong!"

Lu Yuan nodded, then took out his notebook and began searching. Sure enough, he found several names that matched. Lu Yuan dialed the phone numbers of these people one by one and found Zhou Tong's trail.

“Zhou Tong’s younger sister, Zhou Chen, has congenital heart disease, so she needs to have some check-ups every week. Last Sunday, Zhou Tong brought his sister to my house for a check-up. Is there anything you need from him?”

Suppressing his joy, Lu Yuan said softly, "Thank you, Dr. Wang. I just wanted to meet Zhou Tong. He saved my life before, so I wanted to repay his kindness this time!"

The other party clearly believed Lu Yuan's lies. After sighing, they said they would help Lu Yuan see Zhou Tong. Then, they directly called Zhou Tong and asked him to bring his sister Zhou Chen to their clinic for a follow-up appointment the next day.

Upon learning that his sister needed to undergo another examination, Zhou Tong's heart sank. However, he still put on a relaxed demeanor and said to Zhou Chen, who was lying on the bed with an oxygen tank hanging from her nose, "Dr. Wang just called and said that we should go over again tomorrow for a routine check-up. Don't worry!"

Lying on the hospital bed, Zhou Chen said impatiently, "Brother, stop lying to me. I know I don't have much time left. Don't bother with this! Just let me die! This constant torment is annoying, and I'm annoyed too!"
