Chapter 177 Don't be afraid, let's work together to find the mastermind!
Lu Yuan ruffled her hair: "It's alright, help me up, I'm going to the police station!"
Qiao Manman didn't hesitate and helped him up. Lu Yuan grimaced in pain, but his back didn't bleed or tear from the muscle strain.
Qiao Manman reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. She glanced outside the door and, seeing that Lu Yifeng hadn't returned yet, quickly took out a small glass bottle from her bag: "Drink it quickly!"
Lu Yuan noticed that the thumb-sized bottle contained a green liquid, which looked very strange, but he didn't suspect anything and unscrewed the cap and swallowed it in one gulp.
He asked Qiao Manman in confusion, "Why does it smell like corn?"
"It's just corn juice! Some precious herbs are mixed in, so of course it's green!" The lie came out of his mouth without hesitation, and he even made it sound reasonable.
Lu Yuan smiled and returned the bottle to Qiao Manman. He felt an itch on his back, which didn't seem as burning or stinging as before.
Gritting his teeth, he put on his clothes and bumped into Lu Yifeng, who was hopping back on one leg. He said, "Why didn't you borrow a wheelchair?"
Lu Yifeng: "......"
Miao Shoujun: "..."
After being completely bewildered, he suddenly realized: "Hey Lao Lu, are you getting revenge on me?"
Why are you so annoying? You should either say it at the beginning or keep it to yourself.
What are you doing? I've been dancing for two days straight!
After complaining, she noticed Lu Yuan was dressed: "Where are you going? Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't wander off!"
Lu Yuan said calmly, "It's alright, I'll go to the police station to check on the progress of the case."
"With Wei Hanpeng, Yang Yanlin, and Zhang Mingda around, why would you need to personally intervene?"
Lu Yuan glanced at Qiao Manman: "I'll go check on him, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Besides, I only injured my back, it won't affect my mobility."
What could Lu Yifeng say? He could only tell him to be careful in everything he did.
Before leaving, Qiao Manman said, "Director Miao, if you're in a hurry, you should go ahead."
I'll go ask Director Meng to find a young man to help take care of Comrade Lu for a few days.
Miao Shoujun nodded: "Alright then, you can stay here and take care of Comrade Lu and Comrade Lu without worrying about going back."
Qiao Manman nodded and helped Lu Yuan leave.
Along the way, he got better and better, a stark contrast to his shameless self yesterday.
Qiao Manman suspected that his injuries yesterday were too severe, causing his brain to secrete too much adrenaline, which led to his rapid speech.
Only after the body was repaired by the Rejuvenating Pill powder did it return to normal.
She was quite cautious, afraid that the doctors and nurses would notice anything amiss, so she only gave him a tiny bit of the Rejuvenating Pill.
It only has a tiny bit of effect on accelerating wound healing.
Once he's discharged, we'll use the remaining medicine. Combined with burn ointment, it will definitely cure the wound completely, leaving no scars.
Lost in thought, I arrived at the entrance of the police station.
Lu Yuan identified himself and successfully met with the police officer in charge of the case. He then interrogated Yu Liangcai, the suspect arrested the previous night.
As for Tomoya Sada, he died before dawn due to pain, infection, and excessive bleeding.
Qiao Manman took the person to the interrogation room and then left. During this time, she returned to the machinery factory to ask Meng Taining for help and to also prepare breakfast for a few patients.
As soon as Qiao Manman arrived at the machinery factory, she was summoned to the factory director's office.
Before she could speak, Meng Taining pointed to the man next to her and said, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, this is Bai Jiafu, an apprentice at our factory. Let him go to the hospital to take care of Comrade Lu later."
Qiao Manman smiled and thanked her, "Comrade Bai, your name is very auspicious. I believe that under your care, Comrade Lu will recover soon."
Bai Jiafu scratched his head shyly: "The factory director only asked me to go to the hospital to take care of Comrade Lu because he thought my name was auspicious."
"Don't worry, Comrade Xiao Qiao, I will handle all of Comrade Lu's and Comrade Lu's affairs with patience and meticulousness."
Qiao Manman nodded: "Their injuries aren't too serious, so taking care of them won't be too much trouble. Besides, I'll help."
After the agreement was reached, Qiao Manman returned to her dormitory. Her family members had all gone to work, leaving the hallway empty.
Qiao Manman opened the door and entered the space. She cooked millet porridge in the rice cooker, washed up, and then took a nap on the sofa.
The system announced: "Congratulations, host, points increased!"
Qiao Manman jumped up from the sofa: "What did you say? Five hundred thousand?"
"Yes, host, five hundred thousand!"
Qiao Manman put her hands on her hips: "Hahaha, I really caught a walking 500,000! Not bad, not bad, you're really keeping up with the times."
The system scratched its head, not understanding what Qiao Manman was saying.
Qiao Manman didn't care and jumped up and shouted, "Everyone sign in!"
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, two fertility pills, and a hot spring."
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained one cubic meter of supplies, two fertility pills, and a small mountain."
"Congratulations, host! You have acquired ten acres of medicinal herb fields, ten acres of paddy fields, and ten acres of pasture..."
Qiao Manman exclaimed, "Tongtong, I'm so lucky! But how come I have so many points this time?"
The system laughed: "Because you arrested half a million!"
Qiao Manman didn't believe it and didn't press the matter further.
I glanced at the newly appeared volcanic hot spring on the third floor, then went back to rest.
Half an hour later, the millet porridge was ready. Qiao Manman ladled it into a thermos and stir-fried some shredded potatoes before leaving the space to go to the police station to find Lu Yuan.
When Qiao Manman arrived, Lu Yuan hadn't come out yet. She was a little tired, so she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to survey the space.
The hill isn't high, only about six or seven hundred meters. Wisps of steam rise from the hot spring pools on top, and beautiful flowers and plants grow around them.
Suddenly, she felt someone shaking her. Qiao Manman opened her eyes and met Lu Yuan's worried gaze. She quickly got up and asked, "Are you done with your work?"
Lu Yuan hummed in agreement, took Qiao Manman's hand, and silently returned to the hospital.
Passing by the small garden, Qiao Manman stopped: "Lu Yuan, why do you look so troubled? Is it... that you haven't finished catching them? I can help you!"
Lu Yuan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Yu Liangcai said that they originally intended to blow up the machinery factory and run away, but they received orders from Miss Huizi to take my life, so they sent assassins with bombs strapped to their bodies to rush out."
Having served in the military for many years, arresting countless spies, I've never been afraid. But today, I panic. I'm afraid they'll extend their poisonous reach to you, to my family.
Qiao Manman slapped her thigh: "I knew it! It's all so interconnected, it just keeps going on and on. Turns out, their target is you!"
She grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, let's work together to find the mastermind behind this!"
Lu Yuan was moved and reached out to hug Qiao Manman. Afraid that the red armband holder would see, he quickly let go.
"Honey, I will work hard!" I will work hard to climb the social ladder and give you a good life.
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and helped him back to the hospital.
Once inside the ward, he placed the thermos on the bedside table and took out two lunchboxes wrapped in oil paper from his canvas bag: "Lunch is ready!"
Lu Yifeng straightened up impatiently: "What kind of food is it, Comrade Xiao Qiao?"
"Millet rice!" Qiao Manman twisted open the thermos and ladled out a bowl for him.
He asked Bai Jiafu, "Have you eaten yet? Would you like some to try?"
"No, I..."
Before I could even refuse, a small bowl was handed to me.
