Chapter 36: Chapter 36: A Little Something in the Lungs

Lu Feng viewed the scan results for Lin Xuecheng and Hu Quan in succession through his scanner glasses.

"Scan Target: Subject is fundamentally healthy with no major illnesses. Due to chronic lack of sleep and long-term fatigue, subject suffers from minor symptoms such as night sweats and oily skin."

Lin Xuecheng’s body didn’t have any major problems. The scan just showed a few minor symptoms stemming from a lack of sleep and long-term fatigue.

’It can even detect such minor ailments, and it even gives the cause.’ Lu Feng was amazed. ’This V-Shield detection watch is truly incredible.’

"Scan Target: Subject has a minor health issue. Something small appears to be growing in his lungs. His complexion is pale and dry. If he also has an occasional cough, it is recommended that he go to the hospital for a detailed examination immediately!"

Lu Feng was slightly taken aback when he saw Hu Quan’s scan results.

Inside the scanner glasses, rays outlined Hu Quan’s body. A red marker appeared right over his lungs, where a small dot was visible. There was even a note: Abnormal Growth!

Apparently, something was growing in Hu Quan’s lung. It had only just started, and it was still very small.

Hu Quan chatted with Lin Xuecheng about the investment for a bit, then turned to Lu Feng with a smile and asked, "Boss Lu, when is your tea factory opening? I’ll be there to show my support!"

Lu Feng smiled and replied, "The relevant paperwork is already done. It should be ready in a little while!"

Lin Xuecheng added, "Boss Lu, please let us know when the time comes. I’ll accompany President Hu."

The county government placed great importance on an investor like Hu Quan.

He was only investing 200 million for now, but that didn’t mean 200 million was all he had.

If they could tie him down in Youcheng, they would have the opportunity to introduce him to some of Youcheng’s other projects. If he found any of them viable, he might just pull out his wallet and invest.

Therefore, for the time being, President Hu’s preferences would become the county’s preferences.

After finishing two infusions of the +2 Qingfeng Tea, it was nearly evening outside. A satisfied Hu Quan said, "County Head Lin, it’s getting late. Shall we go back and look over the materials again?"

Then, he turned to Lu Feng and invited him, "Boss Lu, would you like to join us for dinner at a restaurant tonight?"

Lu Feng quickly declined, "I’m sorry, President Hu, but I have to entertain my girlfriend’s mother tonight."

"Haha, that is indeed one of life’s most important duties. We’ll wait for another time, then," Hu Quan said with a laugh, clearly understanding. He then invited Lin Xuecheng to leave with him.

Lu Feng saw Lin Xuecheng and the others downstairs. Once outside the restaurant, he offered a piece of advice, "President Hu, I noticed your complexion is a bit dry and pale. If you’ve also had an occasional cough recently, there might be a small problem with your lungs. I suggest you go to the hospital and get it checked out!"

Hu Quan froze when he suddenly heard this.

He had, in fact, been coughing occasionally lately. But his throat only felt itchy when he coughed, so he had chalked it up to the change in environment.

’But how does this Boss Lu know that?’

For some reason, Hu Quan suddenly felt distracted and uneasy.

Lin Xuecheng also looked at Lu Feng in confusion, but from the looks of it, this Boss Lu wasn’t one to just make things up.

So, after getting in the car, he said to Hu Quan, "President Hu, why don’t you get it checked at the county hospital? I can make a call, and the examination will be very quick!"

"Okay." Hu Quan nodded, a strange feeling creeping over him.

After all, it was his first time meeting Lu Feng. For him to suddenly say something like that made him quite anxious.

Lin Xuecheng took out his phone, called the county hospital, and then took Hu Quan there.

Lu Feng returned to the teahouse. Full of curiosity, he used the V-Shield detection watch to scan the other girls in the shop.

He was growing more and more curious about this device.

Soon, he knew the status of the other girls. They were all healthy, and what’s more, they were more "honest" than Xiaoyao—none of them were wearing any padding.

"Excuse me, do you still have any Qingfeng Tea?" a beautiful woman who looked to be under 30 walked in and asked.

One of the girls immediately went to serve her. "Yes, we do, ma’am. How many boxes of Qingfeng Tea would you like?"

Lu Feng glanced at the woman and subconsciously scanned her with his detection watch.

The woman had a great figure and a certain air about her, but she clearly wasn’t some kind of female boss because she was dressed very provocatively.

A powerful career woman, even if she dressed well, wouldn’t display that kind of overtly flirty vibe.

The next moment, he was stunned by the data diagram that appeared in his scanner glasses. There were clear anomalies on the woman’s breasts and private parts. ’What are those ring-like things?’

After a moment of shock, he recalled a certain ring-shaped "prop" used by "teachers" from a certain country in their movies.

’Damn, that’s pretty wild. Wearing something like that just to walk down the street.’

"I’ll take two boxes," the woman said, not forgetting to add, "And I need a receipt!"

The fact that she needed a receipt was a clear indicator of her likely status—probably a secretary, a mistress, or something similar.

’I just wonder if she’s getting this wild on her own, or if there’s some pervert with a remote control lurking in the background?’

Lu Feng couldn’t be bothered to care about that. He went back to his office, where Yang Qingxue and the others were still waiting.

When he entered, he saw Lin Jiajia already seated at the tea-making station, brewing tea for Chen Fen and Yang Qingxue.

Lu Feng wasn’t surprised that this woman knew how to brew tea. After all, she was in building materials sales. In the south, a salesperson who couldn’t make tea for a client was considered unqualified.

After Lu Feng sat down, Lin Jiajia very politely poured him a cup of tea. Her attitude was completely different from before.

To be honest, Lu Feng couldn’t be bothered with Lin Jiajia. She was just Yang Qingxue’s best friend, not her mother like Chen Fen.

His impression of her was poor, and that wasn’t something that could be changed in an instant.

When he disliked someone, he wouldn’t force himself to put on a fake smile.

However, he did use the V-Shield detection watch to scan Yang Qingxue and her mother. Both were in good health with no illnesses, which put his mind at ease.

When night fell, Lu Feng treated Chen Fen and the others to dinner at a high-end restaurant in the plaza. After the meal, he escorted them back to Yang Qingxue’s dormitory.

Since Chen Fen had made the trip to Youcheng, she would naturally stay with her daughter for the night. She also had some private matters to discuss with her.

So, as soon as they entered the bedroom, she said to her daughter, "Qingxue, when is Lu Feng’s mother getting out of the hospital? Let me know, and I’ll go with you to pick her up."

Her previous attitude toward Lu Feng was entirely based on her maternal instincts. Now, she naturally hoped to build a good relationship with his family, for her daughter’s sake.

If her daughter ended up marrying Lu Feng, she especially didn’t want her to get caught up in problems between the in-laws and her own family.

So many women ended up divorced because they couldn’t properly handle issues between their husband’s family and their own.

"Okay!" Yang Qingxue nodded happily.

This was what she had been hoping for all along.

Chen Fen then leaned in and whispered in Yang Qingxue’s ear, "Also, after I leave tomorrow, go help Lu Feng set up his new house. You need to arrange the bedding, daily necessities, and some green plants. As a woman, you can’t just be a pretty face."

"Most importantly, the next time you two are alone together, don’t let Lu Feng use protection. He doesn’t look like the type of man who would break your heart, so it would be best if you could get pregnant..."

"Mom, how can you say that?" Hearing Chen Fen bring up such an embarrassing topic, Yang Qingxue shyly pulled the blanket over her face.

Although it wasn’t the first or second time she’d been with Lu Feng, she was still easily embarrassed.

Chen Fen sighed. "You already have a boyfriend, and you’re still this thin-skinned..."

Time passed.

「The next day.」

Early in the morning, Yang Qingxue took Chen Fen to the station. Chen Fen had her own business to attend to back in her town and had taken leave for this trip.

「Meanwhile.」

Lin Xuecheng had already started his workday. He delegated a few tasks, then went to pick up Hu Quan and head to the county hospital together.

Yesterday, a few words from that Boss Lu had made President Hu so anxious that he went to the county hospital for a check-up. Because Lin Xuecheng had made arrangements, the hospital would have the results ready this morning.

’Still, it’s probably nothing,’ he thought. ’This President Hu looks perfectly healthy.’
