Lucas's compliment seemed like a huge irony to Lu Zhiyuan.
He glared at Lucas with angry eyes and warned him, "Lucas, you've gone too far!"
The tense atmosphere was as if Lu Zhiyuan would fight to the death with Lucas if he dared to touch my legs again.
Lucas was sensible enough to raise his hands to indicate that he would no longer operate the computer.
This Lucas doesn't seem to have bad intentions, he is just too obsessed with researching these products and is a typical technology geek.
Clearly sensing the tense atmosphere at the scene, Zhuo Hai glanced at the two of them and mediated: "Now that we've checked, Professor Lucas, are you sure you can safely remove the chip from her leg?"
"Of course!" Lucas answered very straightforwardly, looking at me excitedly, "When do you plan to have the surgery?"
Before I could answer, Lucas said to himself, "I suggest you do it as quickly as possible, because I can't wait!"
His words surprised me, especially his shining eyes.
He seemed more eager for this surgery than I was.
While I was stunned, Lu Zhiyuan had already rejected the offer on my behalf: "Don't bother with the surgery, Professor Lucas. We don't plan to have the surgery in Europe. Our medical technology in China is very advanced. I just want to borrow the external equipment you developed to take back home."
Lu Zhiyuan's expression was still gloomy. I suspected that his next move would be to ask Lucas to state the conditions directly.
He was so confident and righteous that it actually seemed a bit coercive.
I also know that the reason why Lu Zhiyuan had this attitude was that he was annoyed that Lucas had just activated the chip, which caused me harm.
At this time, I had also calmed down a little. I gently held Lu Zhiyuan's hand, and he immediately turned around and looked at me.
I gave him a reassuring look and then humbly said to Lucas, "Professor Lucas, I need your external equipment for the surgery on my leg. If you are willing to lend us the equipment, or if you are willing to take it back with us, we would be very grateful to you."
After all, we need help from others now, so there is no need to make things too awkward, otherwise it will be more difficult to achieve our goal.
Lu Zhiyuan quickly understood my thoughts, shook my hand, and then calmed down and agreed with me: "Yes, if Professor Lucas is willing to lend me the equipment, we will definitely reward him handsomely."
When Lucas heard what we said, his expression changed instantly.
He was smiling when he faced me just now, but now his face was completely stern and he snorted coldly.
"Since you are unwilling to undergo surgery in Europe, I will not consider lending you the equipment, let alone telling you how to use it."
Such a blunt rejection leaves no room for negotiation.
Lucas turned around and continued studying his machine with his back to us, impatiently urging us, "Since you don't plan to have surgery in Europe, then hurry up and leave! I still have to continue my research and don't want to waste my time with you!"
Seeing our indifference, Lucas glanced at me coldly and sneered, "If you can't remove the chip, her leg is basically useless. You might as well let her get used to life with a disability in advance."
These words touched Lu Zhiyuan's sore spot, and he clenched his fists instantly.
