Lu Yuan turned to look at the man with the knife and explained with a smile, "I just wanted to ask a few questions, there's no need for you to be so nervous!"
The man frowned and looked outside the door, then gestured angrily at his wife with his chin.
The other person immediately understood and then secretly pressed the close button on their hand.
A series of jarring sounds came from the old roller shutter door.
Then, relying on the knife in his hand, the man took two steps toward Lu Yuan.
"Kid, I see you're up to no good! Tell me! What do you do for a living? Otherwise, don't blame me for getting physical!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the book in the other person's hand, then couldn't help but smile: "I'm very honest! You don't need to be so nervous! I really just came to ask a few questions. Once you've told me, I'll leave! Really!"
To show his sincerity, Lu Yuan even raised his hand to indicate that he was not in danger.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and gently tapped his wrist downwards.
"Alright! Tell me! What do you want? What do you want to ask?"
Lu Yuan pointed angrily in the direction of the children's medical examination hospital and asked, "Is this medical examination hospital still open?"
Upon hearing this, the man's heart skipped a beat, then he burst into laughter: "Are you blind?! Can't you see for yourself? It's already in this state, how could you possibly open the door! Why are you asking this? There aren't any children left in the city these days!"
"Oh? No children? Where did all the children go?"
The other person pointed to the ceiling and said, "Middle management! Are you even from the city center? How come you don't know this? Besides, we're just small businesses! If you're genuinely interested in buying something, go get it yourself. If you're looking for trouble, hmph! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After saying that, the other person pointed to the shelf at Lu Yuan: "Go get it yourself! Take it and leave! If you dare to say another word, I'll cripple you!"
Lu Yuan sighed, knowing that the other party was definitely not telling the truth. However, after thinking for a while, just as Lu Yuan was about to speak, a strong wind suddenly came from behind him.
"Damn it! Make a move?"
Lu Yuan suddenly turned his head, dodging the blow, while nearby shelves were knocked over.
With a "clatter," the items on the shelves scattered all over the floor. Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, the other party planned to attack Lu Yuan again.
However, Lu Yuan had no intention of giving the other party any more time to make a move.
With a twist of his body and a back kick, the man's body slammed into the front desk counter as if he had been hit by a car.
"Ah!" The woman screamed in terror when she saw the man's face covered in blood.
Lu Yuan dusted off his hands, then shushed the woman, "Keep your voice down, don't scare anyone!"
The woman nodded repeatedly, trembling uncontrollably: "You...you...who are you?...What...what are you going to do?...Please don't kill me! I don't know anything!"
As Lu Yuan approached, the woman screamed in terror, clutching her head and stammering incoherently as she tried to explain herself.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. The other party's behavior had completely betrayed them. He hadn't asked them anything yet, and they were already saying they didn't know anything. Obviously, they were hiding some important secret. Lu Yuan guessed that this matter was very likely related to Qin Zheng, since the clues he had found were right here.
"Auntie, stop shouting, I didn't ask anything!"
The woman paused for a moment, then wiped away her tears and looked at the man who had collapsed on the counter.
"Don't worry, he won't die, he's just passed out! I'm going to ask you a few questions now! You have to answer them honestly! Do you understand?"
The woman looked up at Lu Yuan, who was lighting a cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
At that moment, Zhou Tong, who was outside, walked towards the back door of the children's medical examination center with his head down. However, as soon as he got to the back door, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Has someone spotted me?" Zhou Tong looked around warily.
Everyone around him was still busy with their own things, and no one was secretly watching him.
Zhou Tong immediately lowered the brim of his hat and continued walking towards the back door.
Suddenly, a noise came from a stairwell not far from the back door, and Zhou Tong rushed over without thinking.
With a creak, the door opened, but there was no one in the dark hallway.
"How strange! Is there some secret here?" Zhou Tong frowned and looked towards the back door of the medical examination center after taking another look around.
However, the back door was covered in graffiti painted with spray paint, making it impossible to see inside through the glass door.
So Zhou Tong took out his key from his pocket and scratched it on the door, immediately causing some of the paint on the graffiti to peel off.
Zhou Tong peeked inside.
The dark corridor was deserted, the ground was covered in dust, and several surgical carts were scattered around, not yet returned to their places. The door to one of the offices seemed to be open.
"Hmm? Although it looks like no one's here, it feels like this place hasn't been abandoned for very long!"
Zhou Tong pulled his head back in confusion, and suddenly saw someone behind him through the peeling paint in front of him.
"Damn it!" Zhou Tong immediately turned around.
But the person behind him had already brought down the stick in their hand.
With a loud thud, Zhou Tong's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
...
After asking his questions, Lu Yuan realized that things were very different from what he had imagined.
Frowning as he looked at the woman slumped on the ground, Lu Yuan asked again, "Is what you just said true? Was this children's hospital a former experimental site for the mutant organization?"
