Chapter 829: b.u.mped into Him On Purpose
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Since he wasn’t allowed to enter the building, he decided to wait outside. He was not trying to visit someone in the building anyway.
Yuan Tianxing and his people were heading toward the entrance of the medical department. Around a corner, someone suddenly came up. He wasn’t looking at Yuan Tianxing, but at the other side.
“Oh,” Yuan Tianxing didn’t manage to stop in time, and ended up b.u.mping into that person.
“Be careful!” Thankfully, he reacted fast enough to pull up that person, who was falling to the ground.
“Are you okay?” He looked at him and asked.
That was a pretty young man, slim, a little pale, wearing thin clothes. His lips were as pale as his face, which made him look unhealthy. One side of his head was covered in gauze. It seemed that he was injured.
Yuan Tianxing found the young man’s face to be familiar. He might have seen him somewhere before.
“Eh… De-deputy Chief! Sorry… I-I’m fine,” Lu Tong felt a little dizzy. After realizing what had happened and seeing Yuan Tianxing’s face, he paused briefly and then spoke carefully.
Yuan Tianxing relaxed the grip on his arm, then said to him with concern while smiling, “I’m sorry! Are you really okay? Your head seems to have been injured. Do tell us if you don’t feel well.”
Lu Tong hurriedly shook his head and said in a panic, “Ah… I’m really fine! Thank you, Deputy Chief… I… I wasn’t looking at the road. It’s my fault! Sorry!”
Seeing the young man act scared and panicked, Yuan Tianxing kept the smile on his face and said with a gentle voice, “It’s alright. I wasn’t looking at the road either. I think I’ve seen you before… Where?”
He wore a curious look when saying that.
Lu Tong was happy to hear that. But still, he responded in an awkward way, “I… I think I might have one of those faces… Um… If everything is okay, can I leave now?”
While speaking, he glanced at the entrance of the medical department carefully.
“Oh, sure. But, are you really okay?” Seeing the look on Lu Tong’s face, Yuan Tianxing felt that the young man might be very afraid of him. He seemed to be timid, like a little rabbit.
“I’m fine, fine! I’ll… be going. See you, Deputy Chief!” Lu Tong hurriedly shook his head, then quickly turned and moved to the side. After that, he trotted away without looking back.
As he turned his back to Yuan Tianxing and his people, he curved his lips in a complacent smile.
“I feel I’ve seen him before, but I don’t remember where…” Yuan Tianxing frowned slightly and murmured.
“Deputy Chief, he’s the one who saved a worker when you were at the construction site the last time. He was holding the worker who nearly fell off the scaffold,” Lu Junjie, who was behind Yuan Tianxing, stepped forward and said.
Yuan Tianxing slightly widened his eyes and said knowingly, “Oh! It’s him! No wonder I found him looking so familiar… Let’s go! Junjie, send someone after him to see if he’s really fine. I’m worried that I might have hurt him just now.”
That young man looked so weak and fragile, so he really worried that he might have hurt him accidentally.
“Yes, sir!” Lu Junjie nodded and responded. He thought for a moment, then added, “Deputy Chief, he’s also a s.p.a.ce-possessor, at level-three.”
Yuan Tianxing paused briefly, then kept walking as he asked, “Oh, s.p.a.ce possessor? We only have two s.p.a.ce possessors in our base currently. He’s the one who arrived along with the second batch of people from Hades Base, right? What’s his name again…”
He thought briefly, then continued, “Wait, he’s a s.p.a.ce possessor, so why was he doing heavy works at the construction site? He should have an allowance. Also, why is his head injured? Go and find out.”
s.p.a.ce possessors should be protected. All Being Base was a new base, but was surely able to take care of a s.p.a.ce possessor. Why was he still doing a heavy job at the construction site?
And his injury…
Thinking about that, Yuan Tianxing frowned while his gentle vibe grew slightly cold.
“Yes, sir!” Lu Junjie responded again.
Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying watched the whole thing happen from distance. They saw Lu Tong waiting around the corner, then pretending to walk out carelessly once he heard Yuan Tianxing’s footsteps.
After talking to Lin Qiao, Lin Wenwen decided to follow her suggestions. She would not interfere, but would like to see if Lu Tong was really able to drug Yuan Tianxing eventually.
“Will he be able to put Tianxing down?” Lin Wenwen abruptly asked herself.
“I don’t know. But, he has successfully caught Deputy Chief’s attention. Aren’t you gonna do anything about it?” said Long Qingying expressionlessly.
“I need to prove one thing, so I’m gonna leave him for now. Let’s see if he can really reach to that step,” Lin Wenwen said with a meaningful look in her eyes.
“That step? Which step?” Long Qingying finally wore curiosity on her face.
Lin Wenwen woke up from the self-talking as she shook her head and said, “Nothing. Let’s wait and see! That Lu Tong is very ambitious.”
On the other side, Lu Tong, of course, didn’t leave for real. He first pretended to be strong in front of Yuan Tianxing, but as he walked a short distance away, he suddenly put a hand on his forehead and the other against the wall to support his body. Then, he softly leaned against the wall.
The surrounding people saw him and quickly came over. Lei Yao, who was sent after him by Lu Junjie, hurriedly ran over as well.
Soon, Lu Tong, who had ‘pa.s.sed out’, was sent into the emergency clinic.
…
In another room in the medical department, Lin Qiao was sitting on her bed, reading a file. Shen Yujen walked in not long after Lu Tong was brought into the emergency room.
“Chief, the show you talked about is going to start,” Shen Yujen closed the door, then walked to her bed smilingly. Lin Qiao lifted her eyes and gave her a glance blandly, then went back to the file while asking, “What’s going on now?”
“The man named Lu Tong just deliberately b.u.mped into Deputy Chief Yuan at downstairs, then pa.s.sed out while walking away,” said Shen Yujen with a smile.
Lin Qiao had asked her to send someone after the person that Lin Wenwen was watching. As a result, her people found Lu Tong, and that he had his eyes on Deputy Chief Yuan.
Except for Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying, Lin Qiao’s people had too seen Lu Tong wait for Yuan Tianxing around that corner before the latter arrived.
That was why Shen Yujen said that he b.u.mped into Yuan Tianxing deliberately.
“How did Yuan Tianxing react?” Lin Qiao asked.
“He seemed not to find anything wrong. But, he has started paying attention to Lu Tong. He has sent his people to look into Lu Tong’s background,” Shen Yujen couldn’t help but admit that Lu Tong had done a good job. He looked so weak and vulnerable, and Yuan Tianxing was a nice and protective man. Indeed, it was easy for him to catch Yuan Tianxing’s attention.
