However, Lu Yuan had a very high opinion of the other party's character. He had always had a strange sense of admiration for people in military uniforms since he was a child. However, because he had not decided whether to join the army or go to university during high school, he missed the registration deadline and missed the opportunity to join the army.
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, the other party did not show any greed on his face. He pondered for a while and said, "With so much stuff, there must be quite a few people eyeing it along the way. I'm fine on my own, but I don't have a gun right now. Getting a gun will take some effort. Give me two days to prepare!"
Lu Yuan had originally planned to hand over his gun to the other party, since he had several guns of his own. However, since the other party seemed to have his own channels to obtain guns, Lu Yuan didn't say anything. It would be troublesome if the other party investigated and demanded that his gun be confiscated.
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll leave it to Brother Zhou Tong!"
Zhou Tong nodded and continued, "Don't thank me yet. I need to see the effects on my sister within the next two days. If you can't cure my sister, I can't take this job!"
Lu Yuan felt depressed for a while.
"Okay! You bring your sister back with me later, and I'll show you the results! I guarantee your sister will be lively and energetic again when you come back!"
The other party seemed somewhat worried.
"Is surgery necessary? Xiaochen's blood type is hard to find, but mine is compatible with hers. Should I donate some blood for you to use?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou Tong. He won't need surgery or incisions. He'll just need to eat something and he'll be fine. Don't worry!"
The other person could hardly believe their ears after hearing it.
"You mean you can cure heart disease without surgery? Really?"
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Really, what I'm experiencing doesn't really fall under the category of medical treatment, but the effects are very obvious, immediate. You'll see when you get back!"
The other person's brows furrowed noticeably. After all, as a special forces soldier, he didn't believe in such supernatural things at all, since they were all atheists. When he heard Lu Yuan say that it wasn't within the scope of medicine, he immediately thought of things like gods and ghosts.
"You're not going to pull some kind of scam, are you? I've heard of those kinds of things before, and I don't want any of that! You'd better not try to fool me!"
Lu Yuan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he had no way to explain his golden fruit to the other party, so he could only gloss over it. The other party followed Lu Yuan out of the room with some doubt. When they came back to the living room, they saw that Zhou Chen and Kong Hanting were already getting along very well. The two of them looked like sisters, chatting and laughing together.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Xiao Chen hasn't smiled in a long time. She stays at home every day and is too scared to go out. She's such a coward! I never expected her to smile!" Zhou Tong muttered to himself, a smile spreading across his face.
Lu Yuan murmured, "Perhaps the surrounding environment has changed too much. Haven't you let her interact with other people usually?"
Zhou Tong shook his head.
"How could we possibly let her come into contact with anyone else! There are refugees everywhere, and who knows who might be a bad guy! We're too busy protecting her!"
"Okay, I think I know why she was so scared just now! It seems you need to let her experience the outside world more. Although the outside world is chaotic, it's still a part of life, and you can't take that right away from her!"
After hearing Lu Yuan's philosophical words, Zhou Tong immediately understood that he had kept his sister locked up at home for fear of her getting hurt. Although Zhou Chen had asked to go out many times, he had refused, which caused the two siblings to quarrel a lot.
Later, in order to support his family, Zhou Tong could only find odd jobs nearby to earn money for his sister's medical treatment. However, his meager salary was far from enough to cover the huge medical expenses. As time went by, his sister's personality gradually became introverted, and she was no longer the sunny and cheerful girl she used to be.
Zhou Tong looked at his sister with an apologetic gaze, a long-lost sense of relaxation in his eyes.
"Alright, it seems that Xiao Chen is much better off with you guys than with me. You must take good care of her!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry! We will definitely take good care of her! You can rest assured!"
After thanking Dr. Wang, the group drove back to Zone 3. When Zhou Tong and his sister saw Zone 3, which looked like an oasis, they were stunned.
"Is this your place? How come it wasn't flooded?" Zhou Chen blinked and looked curiously at the surrounding walls and ground, feeling a bit incredulous.
Zhou Tong, however, had already seen the drainage ditch outside the moment he entered.
"I never expected you to have built drainage ditches ahead of time! You really had foresight! Back then, Qingshui City was flooded and was a complete mess. Everyone thought there was nowhere left to live, but your place actually escaped the disaster!"
The other person sighed and then followed Lu Yuan inside. The place wasn't very big, and Lu Yuan led him directly to the factory area. The factory area now served as the public recreation, dining, lodging, and business meeting place for Zone 3. Lu Yuan's office was also located there, so if anything happened, people wouldn't need to go to Lu Yuan's home to find him anymore.
After all, Lu Yuan didn't want his door to be knocked on every day, so there was nothing to worry about when he was in the factory area.
