Kong Hanting looked at Lu Yuan in surprise. His analysis was so logical and insightful, just like an expert on TV.
"Ahem! I was just guessing! Haha!" Lu Yuan felt the other person's gaze and immediately chuckled to cover it up.
Then, the people from Zone 3 started coming to the factory to collect their food for the day. Before long, most of them had left. Lu Yuan turned around and looked at the office behind him, wondering why the two of them hadn't finished eating yet, when he saw Zhou Tong carrying his sister out of the office.
"Lu Yuan, I...I..." Zhou Tong stammered for a long time but couldn't bring himself to speak, looking quite embarrassed.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright, Brother Zhou Tong. Just say what's on your mind. There's no need to beat around the bush."
After hearing this, the other party gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! Then I'll risk my reputation and let Zhou Chen join you! But don't worry, I can work for you and I won't live here! Just give Xiao Chen a place to stay."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan burst into laughter: "Brother Zhou Tong, I thought it was something serious. You just want to stay here, right? Of course, no problem. Not only Zhou Chen, but you can too. There are a few houses over there that are still empty. You and Xiao Chen can go and stay there first!"
Zhou Tong and his sister were overjoyed.
"Thank you! Thank you so much! I really don't know what to say! Don't worry, just let me know if you ever need my help!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand, then took out a golden fruit from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Chen.
The other person took the fruit, examined it for a while, then looked up at Lu Yuan and asked, "Brother Lu Yuan, what is this...?"
Lu Yuan said with a smile, "This is a divine fruit from Taoism. After eating it, you can get rid of all your illnesses. I've seen an old Taoist priest personally cure several people before, so I begged for a few of these fruits. You should get better after you eat them!"
Zhou Tong and Zhou Chen were both incredulous after hearing this.
"Taoism? I knew it was Taoism! Brother Lu Yuan, how could this be? I've heard of Taoists making elixirs, but they're just poisonous pills made from various heavy metals. Your stuff is probably similar! It looks all golden!"
Lu Yuan was speechless. Many people would beg him for such a good thing, and he himself might not even be able to give them one. Yet this person still doubted his fruit. It was the greatest disrespect for his fruit.
"Cough cough! Never mind that for now, just eat it! Anyway, Xiao Chen's condition can't be delayed any longer, what do you say?"
After hearing this, Zhou Tong looked dejected. Indeed, he had no better options now. His sister was his only hope for survival. If she died, he didn't know what he would do in the future.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Tong finally nodded with difficulty.
"Fine! Since you've let us stay here, I have no reason to doubt you! Xiao Chen, eat up! What if something really happens..."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately started coughing desperately.
"Brother Zhou Tong, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. How can you say such unlucky things so casually!"
Realizing his words were inappropriate, the other person quickly patted his mouth and spat a few times.
Then Zhou Chen examined the fruit for a while, slowly put it to his lips and licked it. It had no taste, so he carefully gnawed off a small piece with his teeth.
Zhou Tong, who was standing to the side, stared intently at Zhou Chen. Seeing that the other had taken a small bite, he asked, "How are you? Feeling better?"
Zhou Chen shook his head: "I don't feel anything, but the taste of this fruit is really unique! I can't taste anything at all, but it feels like I've eaten a really delicious fruit!"
Zhou Tong didn't quite understand what the other person was saying, so he prepared to take the fruit and eat a little to try it out.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan quickly stopped them. He was speechless at the behavior of the brother and sister. This thing is so precious, it's fine if you don't believe it, but you actually shared it. Did you even consider my feelings?
"Your sister's condition is already very serious, this fruit is only for her! You should just forget about it!"
"Okay, Xiao Chen, hurry up and eat!"
Zhou Chen then stuffed the fruit into his mouth in one big bite, causing the other person's throat to twitch as the fruit slid down their throat.
Zhou Tong, who was standing to the side, looked at Zhou Chen impatiently and asked, "How are you? Is your heart feeling any better?"
Zhou Chen shook his head again.
"Hey! Do you guys have any common sense? Even if you take a special medicine, there's still a reaction period! You haven't even swallowed the fruit yet and you're already asking how it's working! That's a bit too much!"
Zhou Tong scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Don't be angry, Brother Lu, I was just a little anxious!"
After waiting for about half an hour, Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up and jumped up and down twice. Then, quite surprised, he pushed open the door and ran around the factory yard several times before returning.
Pushing open the office door, Zhou Chen stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, and looked at Zhou Tong with a smile.
"Brother! I'm all better! I ran for so long and it didn't flare up at all! It seems like I'm really all better!"
Zhou Tong quickly took out the testing equipment and strapped it to Zhou Chen's wrist. Then he listened to Zhou Chen's heartbeat and pulse, and measured his blood pressure, etc., busying himself for quite a while. Finally, a look of joy appeared on Zhou Tong's face.
"It's all done! It's really all done! That's great! Lu Yuan, thank you! Xiao Chen, come and thank Brother Lu Yuan!"
Lu Yuan quickly went up to help Zhou Chen, who was about to bow, and said, "That's enough, don't bow to me anymore, or I'll be gone! It's good that you're alright!"
