Back at his lodgings, Lu Yuan began to ponder who to ask for help. He was reluctant to deal with Lin Qiang's matter anymore, since Lin Qiang had given him so much fuel. As for Xia He, she had deceived him time and time again, making Lu Yuan unwilling to engage with her.
Sure enough, not long after Lu Yuan returned, Xia He called.
"How is it? Have you found him? Where is he now?" Xia He's voice still had a somewhat languid quality.
Lu Yuan composed himself slightly and said, "Sigh! Those people are a bunch of liars. They've already discovered you're looking for them! We found someone, but it turns out he was impersonating Lin Qiang! Also, are you hiding something from me?"
Xia He paused for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Do you know something?"
Lu Yuan cursed inwardly, but still put on an innocent look and said, "What do you mean, 'know' what? What are you trying to say?"
Xia He pondered for a moment and said, "Alright! Since it wasn't Lin Qiang, let's not look for him anymore! By the way! Let's pretend this never happened! If anyone else smells anything, just say you don't know anything! Got it?"
Lu Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Heh! Tell me! What exactly happened? What shady things have you done? Aren't you part of the country's intelligence agency? Why do you have to do this kind of thing in secret?"
Hearing Lu Yuan's sarcasm, Xia He became angry and retorted, "Alright! You won't know what you shouldn't know! Knowing too much won't do you any good! That's it! If I hear you leaking anything else, watch out for your life!"
"Let me tell you! If you ever dare to threaten me with my life again, I won't be so lenient next time! This is the last time you'll threaten me! There won't be a next time!"
Lu Yuan said coldly, and then hung up the phone.
Xia He stared at the phone in astonishment for a long time, speechless.
"How dare this kid talk to me like that! Damn it! Looks like I'll have to get the station chief to teach him a lesson!"
After saying that, Xia He threw her phone aside angrily and lit a cigarette.
Lu Yuan then thought of someone: Zhou Tong. However, when he approached Zhou Tong again, Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed, as he felt it was a bit of a burden to Zhou Tong to ask him for help every time. But there was no other way, since finding someone who could sail a ship and was reliable and a trusted confidant was the only option available to him.
Moreover, Zhou Tong was a former special forces soldier, so his skills were naturally excellent. Lu Yuan felt very reassured sending him out. After all, although there were already survivor bases outside that had gathered a lot of people, there were still some homeless refugees wandering around. If other people were sent out, the number of people in the north of the city might increase if they encountered danger.
So Lu Yuan found Zhou Tong, who was checking his younger sister Zhou Chen's homework, but Zhou Tong's expression seemed a little off.
"How could you get such a simple question wrong? What are you thinking?!" Zhou Tong's forehead veins throbbed, and he wanted to hit her but held back. After all, she was his sister, not one of his soldiers. Lu Yuan had no doubt that if she were one of his soldiers, Zhou Tong would have beaten her up without hesitation.
Zhou Chen looked miserable and didn't dare to say a word. Tears were about to stream down his face, but Zhou Tong glared at him fiercely and stopped him from crying.
"You have two more hours. Study these problems carefully! If you still can't do this, you won't be getting dinner tonight!"
Lu Yuan stood outside the door watching the siblings secretly vying for dominance. He sighed and coughed softly.
The two people inside were immediately startled. When Zhou Chen saw that it was Lu Yuan, he immediately looked like he had seen a savior, and a pleading look appeared on his face.
Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan with a sullen expression, then walked over and said, "What is it now?"
Lu Yuan nodded, then pointed at Zhou Chen and said, "Xiao Chen is already doing very well! She hasn't been to school for a long time, and it's already quite impressive that she can keep up with her studies! Don't be so harsh on her!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen immediately ran over, grabbed Lu Yuan's arm, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right! You see, Brother Lu still understands me. I haven't been to school in a long time. Besides, I've been in the hospital the whole time, so there are a lot of things I don't know. Don't be so harsh on me!"
Zhou Tong glared at his sister after hearing her words, while Zhou Chen stuck out her tongue.
"Alright, Xiao Chen has been working very hard lately! If it really doesn't work, I'll talk to Xiao Shan when I get back tonight and ask her to give Xiao Chen some extra lessons! It shouldn't be a problem!"
Zhou Tong could only nod, then said, "Alright, go have fun! I have something to say to your brother Lu!"
Zhou Chen felt as if he had been granted a pardon and immediately ran out excitedly. Zhou Tong could only sigh inwardly at the sight.
"You've all spoiled this girl! If this continues, she won't listen to me anymore!"
Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "How could that be! Don't worry! It won't happen! Xiao Chen is going through a rebellious phase right now, you can't force her like this! You have to go along with her! Only then will she be able to talk to you about anything in the future!"
Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan with some surprise: "Oh! I didn't realize you were a veteran teacher!"
"Haha! Alright! Enough fooling around! Let's get down to business!"
