"We can cooperate on fruits, and this!" Lu Fan's eyes rolled, and he took out a small medicine bottle, pouring out a Jù Shén Dān.
"What is this?" Jiang Chao asked with a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He naturally knew that Lu Fan's fruit store was very popular. However, he really didn't know what this small pill was.
"Jù Shén Dān! Here, have one. If you think it's good, we can talk about cooperation," Lu Fan said, tossing the small pill to Jiang Chao.
He knew very well that places like this were where rich people indulged. What they ate or drank was not important, as long as the price was high enough, it was the best. A bottle of beer costing two yuan would be sold for fifty yuan a cup, and no one would say it was expensive; they would even praise how delicious it was!
Especially for people like Jiang Chao, in the clubs he ran, even if the patrons could tell the beer wasn't worth fifty yuan, would they dare to say it? He believed that even if it cost five hundred yuan, no one would dare to complain. However, if this small pill really worked, selling it for five thousand yuan in such a place wouldn't be considered expensive. Because this was precisely where they indulged in spending.
"This... Alright! Then I wish us a successful cooperation!" Jiang Chao's eyes immediately lit up, and his posture seemed to straighten considerably. He hadn't even swallowed the pill yet, but his kidney deficiency had already improved by half.
After returning to the village from the county town, Liu Ruyan had already returned. To his surprise, Shen Xinyi had also come along.
"Lu Fan! Thank you! Today, we followed the clues from those people and uncovered a human trafficking ring. Because the case was too big, it has been handed over to the county bureau. However, we have also made a great contribution. This is all thanks to you!" Shen Xinyi said hurriedly upon seeing Lu Fan.
"Forget the credit, I'm not interested. If you invite me to a meal, that would be acceptable," Lu Fan chuckled. He knew that this credit was a great achievement for Shen Xinyi and would definitely help her career. For himself, it was unnecessary! He wasn't someone who cared about fame or fortune.
"Okay! I'll treat you to a meal another day. But, today... Hehe! You have to sleep outside!" Shen Xinyi said with a giggle, pushing Lu Fan out.
"What the heck! This is how you thank me? You should... pledge yourself to me instead!" Lu Fan said with a helpless expression. He had no choice but to turn and head to the small clinic.
Lu Changfu and Zhao Rongrong watched their son Lu Fan being kicked out, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reassured. If he hadn't been kicked out, they would have truly worried.
Outside the window, the sky held a sliver of a moon, and the stars were scattered everywhere. The moonlight, despite the crescent moon, did not seem much dimmer; instead, it appeared much brighter due to the multitude of starlight.
Lu Fan arrived at the small clinic and lay on the bed, lost in thought. Although it was the middle of the night, he felt no sleepiness.
His extraordinary wild vegetable planting base and breeding base already had a small foundation. However, after overhearing the conversation between the floor manager and the waiter at the Yixiangge Hotel today, he suddenly realized that relying on others was never as good as relying on oneself. It seemed that before his extraordinary company became large-scale, he needed to have his own industrial chain.
This was also one of the main reasons he agreed to cooperate with Jiang Chao. However, the Bai family was unreliable, and Jiang Chao was even less so. He had to have his own industrial chain to avoid being led by the nose by others.
Tap... tap-tap... tap-tap... Suddenly, a very faint knocking sound came from outside the door.
Lu Fan leaped off the bed with a whoosh, looking at the late hour and the stillness outside. Who was knocking? Most importantly... he knew that Liu Ruyan's current cultivation level was almost on par with his own. If her hearing was as good as his, she should be able to hear this sound.
Most crucially, if the person knocking was Wang Yan? He guessed that only this young widow would have the audacity to knock on his door in the middle of the night.
"Who?" Lu Fan asked, lowering his voice as he approached the door.
"Little Fan! It's me! Open the door." Wang Yan's voice came from outside the door.
"Sister Wang Yan! Why are you here so late? Hurry back, if Ruyan hears about this, I'm dead!" Lu Fan's head suddenly felt twice its size. This woman probably still thought she was being discreet and undetectable. She didn't realize that in front of experts, it was no different from a public announcement.
"If you don't open the door, do you believe I'll start shouting?" Wang Yan said stubbornly from outside.
"You... Don't do anything rash! You..."
"Ahem...!" Before Lu Fan could finish speaking, Wang Yan cleared her throat outside.
Swish... The door was suddenly pulled open, and Wang Yan was instantly dragged in.
"Hmph! Learn your lesson next time! You should have opened the door earlier when you knew I was here!" In the moonlight, Wang Yan looked up at Lu Fan's handsome face and pouted.
"Sister Wang Yan, why are you here?" Lu Fan asked, exasperated.
"I'm too lonely living alone, I want to have a monkey with you! It just so happens that it's my ovulation period these days." Wang Yan hugged Lu Fan and said.
"Sister! This really won't work! If you really want to have a monkey, wait for me for another hundred years. After I revert to my ancestral form and become a monkey, I'll have ten or twenty with you! You should go back now!" Lu Fan tried to push Wang Yan away. Have a monkey? He would never do anything to betray Liu Ruyan.
Moreover, his career had just begun. Although he had some money now, this wasn't his ultimate goal. He wanted to become someone like Yan Menghan! He and Liu Ruyan were good together, but they wouldn't get married so soon. How could he have a monkey with Wang Yan?
"Hehe! Little Fan, you asked me to wait for you! You really want me to wait for you?" Wang Yan's heart suddenly rejoiced. Lu Fan asked her to wait, not to find someone else to have a child with! Did this mean this kid had feelings for her?
Women are like this; when they like someone, their IQ drops. Even unpleasant words can be interpreted in a reverse-analysis way.
Tap... tap... tap...
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the window. Judging by the sound, it was the sound of someone walking stealthily.
Shush...
Shush...
Lu Fan and Wang Yan were both startled. Both of them heard the footsteps. This was not surprising; Wang Yan had also cultivated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. Although she couldn't use it yet, her five senses had already been enhanced.
Pat pat pat... There was a light knocking sound on the door.
Lu Fan and Wang Yan both dared not move, pretending not to hear. There was no way to make a sound at this moment.
"Lu Fan...! Lu Fan! Are you asleep? I know you're definitely sleeping at the clinic today, hurry up and open the door for me. I have something to talk to you about!" Taohua's voice came from outside the door.
Oh, for crying out loud... Lu Fan's head suddenly felt twice its size. One problem wasn't solved, and another one had arrived? Are all young widows this bold and reckless?
Suddenly, Lu Fan's eyes lit up. Perhaps Taohua's arrival was timely. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have known how to get Wang Yan to leave!
Lu Fan suddenly pointed under the bed, looking at Wang Yan triumphantly!
"You... You want me to crawl under the bed?" Wang Yan glared at Lu Fan indignantly, growling through gritted teeth.
"Sister Taohua? Is there something you need? Wait for me for a moment, I'll go open the door for you!" Lu Fan walked towards the door without waiting for Wang Yan's consent.
"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later!" Swoosh... Wang Yan stomped her foot in anger and, with a swoosh, crawled under the bed. Her movements were indeed quick.
Swish... Lu Fan opened the door.
Swoosh... Taohua immediately pounced in, and with a single motion, threw herself into Lu Fan's arms.
"Little Fan! I know you have me in your heart, and I've wanted to have a second son with you for a long time. It's a pity I never had the chance. Today, I know you'll definitely be staying at the clinic. Come on, hurry, otherwise Xiao Hu will wake up and won't find me and cry." Taohua hugged Lu Fan and lunged towards the bed, not even bothering to close the door.
