Monday noon was the day Lu Zhiyuan and Lucas had agreed upon.
The agreed location was the university campus where Lucas taught.
The three of us walked into the school, which was filled with the atmosphere of youth, but it did not make our heavy mood any easier.
I was still a little nervous, unsure if Lucas's external device could really heal my leg.
When I was anxious, Lu Zhiyuan held my hand, felt the coldness of my hand, and gave me a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
I nodded, and his smile made me feel a little more at ease.
At this time, a male college student stopped in front of us.
"You're here to see Professor Lucas, right? I'm here to take you there."
He took us to a laboratory but did not follow us inside.
"Professor Lucas is inside. He has been waiting for you for a long time."
After saying that, the male college student turned and left, as if afraid of disturbing us.
Lu Zhiyuan knocked on the door and heard a low response from inside, then pushed the door open.
The laboratory was very large. We walked in and saw Lucas wearing a white coat.
He is a middle-aged man, I heard he is only in his early forties, but he looks a little old.
He has golden brown hair and clear blue eyes, and is considered handsome among foreigners.
"Hello!"
I was a little surprised that Lucas could speak Chinese and communicate with us fluently.
Lucas's eyes fell on me, examining my legs.
I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I actually saw some excitement in his eyes.
My heart trembled for no reason, and I just thought I was too sensitive.
Lucas raised his head and looked at me with his blue eyes: "Are you the woman Lu Zhiyuan mentioned, his most precious one?"
When he asked me this, my cheeks turned hot and I turned to look at Lu Zhiyuan.
What did he say to Lucas?
He even said such disgusting things to others.
Lu Zhiyuan smiled helplessly and explained, "What I meant is that this person is very important to me, someone I treasure like a treasure."
Lucas is a foreigner after all, so he translated these idioms literally.
I smiled sheepishly and nodded to Lucas.
Lu Zhiyuan then introduced Zhuo Hai to Lucas.
"Lucas, this is my girlfriend's uncle. He's worried about his niece, so he came along. Do you mind?"
Not exposing Zhuo Hai's identity as a criminal police officer was also to avoid displeasing Lucas.
Lucas shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't mind. I can't steal any of this equipment and technology anyway."
He is very proud, especially of his own technology and the products he has researched.
Lucas pointed to one of the instruments and told me, "Sit over here and I'll check your legs."
I sat down obediently. He scanned my leg with the instrument and murmured, "This chip has been in your leg for some time. It's almost integrated with your leg now."
I was a little surprised at the clarity of his equipment; he was able to determine my injuries so easily.
Lu Zhiyuan asked nervously, "Are you sure you can get it out?"
Lucas didn't answer him directly. He kept his eyes on the screen and said lightly, "You can give it a try."
