The nurse next to me muttered, "They'll definitely pick up a hundred!"
“I’ll pick them up two at a time!” Lu Feng replied.
"You're smarter than me, and you're still picking up hundred-dollar bills?" The head nurse rolled her eyes at her and said, "I suspect you should see a psychiatrist."
"But what he just said about things like WeChat Moments and stuff?"
"Probably just a joke to fool idiots."
Lu Feng lay on the bed, speechless. He had almost been tricked out of bed by three nurses. He sighed and asked helplessly, "What's the date today?"
"October 29th, watch less Hong Kong movies, they don't have any special abilities," the nurse said, pursing her lips.
"Where is this?"
The nurse wrote something in her notebook, pointed to her white coat, and said, "Qingdao Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital, you were admitted last night with a history of drowning and high fever. The fever has subsided. Assess your condition. You will be observed tonight. If there are no problems, you can be discharged tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you!"
The nurse noted down the situation and turned to leave. Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to sit up, turned his head to look at the newspaper in the old man's hand, and saw the words "Autumn Wind Special Operation" in big letters.
"Sir, what's the deal with this special operation?"
The old man put down his newspaper and said, "A big case, right here in our area. More than 1,600 people have been arrested nationwide. It's a large-scale smuggling case. I heard there was a fight at sea, with guns and cannons going off!"
"There are guns and cannons everywhere!"
"Look at you, kid, you don't believe me. My friend was fishing over there the other day and saw it with his own eyes. Those guys are all ruthless thugs, they have guns and cannons. While he was fishing, a cannonball this big was hit right in front of him."
The old man made an exaggerated expression, stretching out his hand to show that it was about a meter in diameter.
Lu Feng knew that old men liked to brag, but he had never seen anyone brag like this before. He smiled and said, "Your friend is also a master. He's either an Avenger or Ultraman!"
"Young man, don't disbelieve me. I'm sixty-nine years old this year. This society is beyond what you young people can imagine. Take that Ultraman you mentioned, I've seen him..."
Lu Feng:............
"You should read the newspaper!" Lu Feng slowly turned his back to the old man. He knew that some old men just couldn't keep their mouths shut and would chatter about anything and everything; they were born gossips.
After finishing his IV drip, it was already past nine o'clock at night. Lu Feng went downstairs, ate a quick bite, bought a newspaper, and briefly checked the situation. Those who needed to be arrested had already been arrested.
The report was a national report, focusing entirely on pandas and the nationwide police deployment. It only briefly mentioned that Jiaming Foods assisted in the arrest, but the name Lu Feng was not mentioned at all.
This time, the panda definitely made an appearance!
Lu Feng didn't see Su Yourong in any of the reports. She really had escaped. After putting down the newspaper, Lu Feng stood by the window, took a drag of his cigarette, and looked into the distance, wondering whether she had successfully reached the shore or had already perished in the vast sea.
The next morning, Lu Feng called home and the factory, and then called Huang Youwei. He had called several times the night before, but no one answered. He called several more times in the morning, but still couldn't get through.
Fortunately, Lu Feng had left all his belongings at the hotel, including his wallet and ID. Otherwise, if he had fallen into the sea penniless, he would have had to beg on the streets to get home.
After leaving the hospital, I immediately bought myself a plane ticket for the next day. In the evening, I called Huang Youwei again, and this time he answered, but it was Secretary Cui.
"Who is this? If you want an interview, contact the Municipal Government Office to schedule a time. Let me tell you, our city attaches great importance to this smuggling case we've cracked; Secretary Huang is personally overseeing it..."
"It's me, Lu Feng!"
"Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu, you've been working so hard. I didn't expect it to be you." The voice on the other end of the phone became polite: "I've been so busy with interviews these past few days, and there have been so many summary meetings and commendation meetings. I'm so sorry, please don't take it to heart."
“I didn’t take it to heart. I didn’t put in much effort. I just almost died. I called with only one thing in mind: get what I’m entitled to. As for who’s in charge, who’s leading the effort, or who’s implementing it, that’s none of my business!” Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem. We went to a meeting a few days ago and had a meal together privately. This matter was handled beautifully. Mr. Lu, you're a capable person. You've turned the tide and changed fate!" Secretary Cui on the other end of the phone was very excited, laughing every now and then. "I'm busy these days, but I'll call you in a few days. You can rest assured."
