Along the way, Lu Yuan received another call from Xiao Shan, saying that her father-in-law had started talking nonsense and had diarrhea. The mother and daughter couldn't lift him at all. Although Xiao Shan's father wasn't very fat and was only of medium height, he still weighed about 140 or 150 pounds. Although Xiao Shan was strong, it was still very difficult for her to lift him.
"Xiao Shan, let's cool Uncle down first, and whatever you do, don't buy scalped tickets!"
"Okay! I understand. Where are you?" Xiaoshan asked anxiously.
"We'll be in the city soon! Don't worry! Uncle should be fine!" Lu Yuan said while driving and listening to the phone.
Suddenly, a person darted out from the road. Lu Yuan was caught off guard and almost knocked the person down. The person was about to start cursing when he looked up and saw that Lu Yuan's car had already driven far away.
"Damn it! You almost hit someone and didn't even apologize!" The man spat on the ground, only to find a few banknotes left there.
The person picked up the banknotes, then looked up at the vanished car and felt a chill run down their spine.
What should have been an hour's drive was completed by Lu Yuan in just twenty minutes.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan arrive, Xiao Shan rushed forward and threw herself into his arms: "Lu Yuan, my dad has fallen unconscious! Please come and see him!"
Lu Yuan pulled Xiao Shan along quickly and saw Xiao Shan's mother with tears streaming down her face, applying ice water to Xiao Shan's father's forehead, but Xiao Shan's father's face was still bright red.
Without any hesitation or bothering with pleasantries with Xiaoshan's mother, Lu Yuan stepped forward and pried open Xiaoshan's father's mouth, then pulled a whole golden fruit from his pocket.
Under the astonished gazes of the mother and daughter, Lu Yuan forcefully shoved the fruit head down into Xiao Shan's father's throat.
Lu Yuan knew that the fruit's characteristic was that it melted in the mouth and didn't require much chewing. However, seeing that Xiao Shan's father's mouth was already dry and there was no saliva to lubricate it, Lu Yuan immediately took the water from Xiao Shan's mother and poured a big mouthful into Xiao Shan's father's mouth.
As expected, the fruit split open when it came into contact with water. Lu Yuan gently patted Xiao Shan's father's chest to help him swallow, and with his other hand, he helped Xiao Shan's father up to prevent him from choking on the water.
Xiao Shan and her daughter were at a loss for words as they watched Lu Yuan's actions. They could only stare longingly at Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan's father.
Finally, Xiaoshan's dad swallowed all the fruit, but the effects hadn't yet appeared.
Lu Yuan knew it was only a matter of time. Last time, Liu Tiantian's child was in a similar situation to Xiao Shan's father. He recovered after eating only a small piece of fruit. Based on their physical condition, Xiao Shan's father ate a whole piece of fruit, so he should be fine.
Seeing the tear stains on Xiao Shan's face and her mother sobbing uncontrollably, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Auntie, Xiao Shan, don't cry. Uncle will be fine. She should be alright in a little while! Don't worry!"
"Really? But the people at the hospital all say it's not going to work."
"Yes, believe me, this is a fruit I obtained from a Taoist priest. Last time, it cured a neighbor's child! It's amazing!"
The hospital still reeked of feces. Lu Yuan hadn't paid much attention to it because he was in a hurry, but now that he was done and relaxed, he suddenly felt that the air around him was filled with this smell, which was also rushing towards his nose.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and immediately said that he would take Xiao Shan's father back to his car first.
However, Xiaoshan's mother was somewhat unwilling, as she had not yet fully recovered. Therefore, to accommodate his mother-in-law's wishes, Lu Yuan and Xiaoshan had no choice but to help Xiaoshan's father to the clinic, which was near the main entrance and where the smell was not so strong.
Just as the three of them were quietly waiting for Xiaoshan's father to wake up, a man wearing a baseball cap walked over, nudged Lu Yuan with his shoulder, and said, "Brother, want some tickets?"
Xiao Shan glared angrily at the other person and cursed, "Bastard! Get out of my way! You dare to buy a ticket for 50,000! Why don't you just rob me!"
However, the other person stood frozen in place, their legs trembling as they tried to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Shan immediately assumed the other person was afraid she would shout, so she put her hands on her hips and grabbed the other person's clothes, saying, "What! Why are you afraid to speak! Come on! Come with me to the police station! I'm going to make sure the police arrest all of you bastards!"
However, the other person suddenly collapsed to his knees in front of Xiao Shan, looking utterly defeated, and said, "Big brother! I was wrong! I really had no other choice but to come!"
Xiao Shan looked at the other person with a surprised expression, and then followed the scalper's gaze, only to see Lu Yuan looking at the other person with a mocking expression.
"What did I say last time? I didn't expect you to forget! It seems I didn't hit you hard enough last time!" After saying that, Lu Yuan was about to hit him again, but since this was a hospital, Lu Yuan would of course not actually hit him in front of everyone. He could only scare him.
The other person immediately begged for mercy, saying, "Brother! I didn't know you'd come back to this hospital! I thought you went there often, who knew you'd be taking turns getting checkups there!"
"Hmph! You've got nothing to say this time, haven't you! Xiaoshan, call the police! This kind of scum needs to be sent to jail to teach him a lesson!"
Xiao Shan immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.
Shortly after, a group of police officers rushed into the hospital. Seeing the hospital packed with people, they immediately covered their mouths and noses upon smelling the odor and asked, "Who called the police just now?"
Lu Yuan stretched out his hand to the police officer and said, "Officer, I'm here!"
The other person walked over, looked at the scalper who was being held back by Xiaoshan, and then looked at Lu Yuan.
"Hey! Isn't this Factory Director Lu? What brings you here?"
"Oh! My father-in-law was bitten by a rat and is here to see a doctor! But when he went to register, he encountered scalpers who were hogging the registration slots and then trying to sell them at exorbitant prices!"
As he spoke, Lu Yuan pointed to the person on the ground.
"Yes! We've received numerous reports about this situation, but we can't eradicate it completely. There are always people who take the risk of becoming scalpers! Director Lu, thank you for your report!"
As he spoke, the other party immediately took off the hat of the kneeling ox and then put handcuffs on his hands.
"By the way, Director Lu, do you need our help?" The other party extended an olive branch to Lu Yuan. With their help, it would be no problem for him to cut in line for medical treatment.
But Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Officer, thank you, but my father-in-law is already better!"
The other person glanced at Xiaoshan's father, who was still unconscious, and said, "He hasn't woken up yet, has he?"
Just then, Xiaoshan's father's brow twitched, and he let out a long sigh of relief, asking, "Is there any water?"
Xiao Shan's mother was immediately delighted and opened the mineral water bottle cap to give him some water.
Seeing that everything was alright, the police officer smiled at Lu Yuan and then left the hospital with the scalper.
