Lu Yuan's words immediately made Shen Hu raise his head.
Shen Hu's face was full of astonishment, and his mind was in a daze.
Friend? He hadn't heard that word in a long time. Now Lu Yuan was actually calling him a friend. To be honest, Shen Hu didn't have a single friend. Although he had a very good relationship with the brothers who had just died, Shen Hu knew that they had all escaped from the mutant organization.
They had all suffered the same harm, and the reason they were able to get along so well now was simply because they all harbored a desire for revenge. The things they talked about most every day were how many factory owners they had taken down or how much of their goods they had stolen. Apart from that, there was hardly any conversation about brotherhood.
Now that Lu Yuan says he considers him a friend, a hint of confusion flashed in Shen Hu's eyes.
"You...you just said...we are...friends?"
Shen Hu thought for a long time before saying the word "friend".
Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "That's right! We're friends! What? You're not happy about it? If you're not happy, then just pretend I didn't say anything! From now on, our relationship will continue to be based on cooperation!"
Lu Yuan didn't say that on a whim, because these days it's really rare to see a boss who's so concerned about his subordinates.
Shen Hu is one such person. Although he has a lot of blood on his hands, Lu Yuan realized after talking to him the night before last that Shen Hu is actually quite simple-minded. If you mess with me, I will kill you. I'll settle things with my fists.
When the two sides cooperated, Shen Hu gave Lu Yuan the feeling of being a stubborn fool who would stick to one idea until death.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shen Hu quickly shook his head: "Of course not, we...we really can be friends?"
Shen Hu was still somewhat skeptical and stared intently into Lu Yuan's eyes once more.
"That's right, friends!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan extended his hand to the other person.
Shen Hu hesitated for a moment before grasping Lu Yuan's hand. The instant their hands met, it seemed as if the conflict between them had been resolved.
"First, take care of your brother's funeral arrangements. Let me know if you need anything!" Lu Yuan said to Shen Hu after looking at the people being carried away.
"Thank you for your help!"
"Alright, there's no need for friends to say thank you!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan waved to the other person and turned back into the factory area.
Shen Hu remained rooted to the spot, and as he watched Lu Yuan's retreating figure, a tiny, precious feeling stirred within him.
On that day, Shen Hu held a grand funeral for his deceased brothers in the factory area. Although these people died in great pain, they no longer had to worry about any troubles they might encounter in life.
Seeing the white mourning banners in front of the machinery factory, the factory owner kindly sent several wreaths and elegiac couplets.
Although Shen Hu's relationship with the factory owner wasn't exactly good, he was the only factory owner Shen Hu didn't want to mess with. Of course, if we're talking from the bottom of his heart, there's now another person on Shen Hu's mind: Lu Yuan. As for Long San, in Shen Hu's eyes, he's really not worth mentioning. He only agreed not to antagonize Long San because of Lu Yuan.
After a busy day, while the lights were still on in the machinery factory during the power outage, Lu Yuan delivered the prepared wreaths and elegiac couplets to the factory.
What Shen Hu needs most right now is not compensation, but psychological comfort.
Carrying wreaths and elegiac couplets, Lu Yuan arrived at the other party's machinery factory. The couplets contained words that Lu Yuan had downloaded from the internet. In truth, Lu Yuan really didn't know what to say about Shen Hu and his dead subordinates, so he could only randomly add whatever words he saw.
The wreaths in the machinery factory have filled both sides of the factory area, with a large portion of them being wreaths sent by bosses from other regions and some nearby factory owners.
Shen Hu was sitting in the middle of the main room, holding a cigarette in his hand, with two bottles of liquor in front of him.
When the henchman saw Lu Yuan bring his men in, he quickly greeted them.
Lu Yuan nodded, had someone place the wreath aside, then picked up incense from the table next to him, lit it, bowed to the memorial tablet, and placed it in the incense burner.
Shen Hu sat on a cotton cushion and turned to look at Lu Yuan.
"Actually, you didn't need to come. None of my brothers know you!"
Shen Hu spoke very bluntly, but Lu Yuan didn't take it to heart.
Taking the cigarette from the other person, Lu Yuan sighed, "I'm not actually offering incense to them. I'm offering this incense to comfort those like you who have become tools for others! Fortunately, you're free now, but as long as organizations like the Flying Sky Organization exist, there will always be people who become their tools!"
Shen Hu sighed, "What kind of world is this! People can be used as guinea pigs! I'll bring them down sooner or later!"
Lu Yuan gently patted the other person on the shoulder, then turned and left the machinery factory.
Back in the car, Lu Yuan was still feeling a bit confused. After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone and dialed Han Wen's number.
The phone rang for a while before the other party answered.
"Brother Lu!"
Xiwen's voice sounded tired, but because it was Lu Yuan calling, he was still very excited.
"Hmm, how have you been lately?"
Xiwen sighed, "It's still the same old routine, searching for clues everywhere, then preparing to use those clues to search for new ones. Day after day, it's the same old routine. I just want to go back!"
