Chapter 291: Pretending to be hypocritical
After a while.
Zhuang Chen had finished preparing the herbs needed by the higher-ups, and everyone in the farm gathered around him.
Zhou Dong stared at the things on the table with a strange look on his face, and saw Zhuang Chen's eyes on him.
He immediately returned to normal.
"This is what the higher-ups need. I will go there today, but I still have something to tell you."
Zhuang Chen hooked his finger at them mysteriously, and everyone leaned over to listen to what he said.
After Zhuang Chen finished telling them what he wanted to tell them, everyone looked around with complicated expressions.
The atmosphere became solemn.
"This matter is very serious, and you still need to take it seriously."
Everyone nodded resolutely, saying that they would definitely complete the task.
Zhuang Chen walked out of the farm and found that people sent by Zhu Zhengju had been waiting for him respectfully outside.
"Please!"
The man in black politely bent down and extended his hand to invite Zhuang Chen to get in the car, quietly raised his eyes and looked at him meaningfully.
Zhuang Chen calmly grasped the bag in his hand, and looked out the window with dull eyes.
Arrived at the destination.
"Get down, check."
A stern voice sounded outside, and a new machine gun was raised and pointed at the car.
Zhuang Chen looked out and found that the car was surrounded by people, and the atmosphere was tense.
The driver raised his hands and slowly got out of the car, whispering to the leading soldier.
Zhuang Chen pricked up his ears to hear their conversation, and the guard winked at the person next to him.
Their teammates detained the driver and the other black-clad men in the car.
Their people got in the car.
The guard suddenly opened the door on Zhuang Chen's side and looked at him.
"What is in your hand?"
The soldier was about to reach out and grab the thing in Zhuang Chen's hand.
But Zhuang Chen dodged it nimbly.
"I have the life-saving medicine of my superiors in my hand. If something goes wrong, can you afford it?"
Zhuang Chen looked at him with his eyes wide open, frightening the soldiers so much that they froze for a moment and looked at the captain in the distance with embarrassment.
"If you can afford it, then I don't care!"
Zhuang Chen handed over the medicine bag in his hand while saying this.
"Let him take it well and put the black ribbon on him."
The captain came over and took out a black ribbon, motioning Zhuang Chen to tie it around his eyes.
Zhuang Chen glanced at him, picked up the black ribbon and tied it around his eyes, then glanced to the side.
"Bang! Bang!"
The sound of several heavy door slams made the vehicle tremble, followed by the sound of the car starting.
Zhuang Chen sensitively sensed the route, the winding path and the sound of emergency braking.
It gave Zhuang Chen a sense of the bottom.
Finally, when he braked for the fifth time, the sound of their conversation rang out.
On the way, the atmosphere was so quiet that only the sound of the heartbeat could be heard.
"Bang!"
"Come down."
The soldier opened the car door, untied the black ribbon on Zhuang Chen's eyes, and gestured for him to get off.
Suddenly a dazzling light came, Zhuang Chen closed his eyes and tilted his head to avoid it, stretched out his hand to his forehead and slowly got out of the car.
There were heavy checkpoints at the door, and the guards patrolling back and forth had cold faces and held their guns tightly in their hands.
The soldiers beside him urged Zhuang Chen to move forward.
Zhuang Chen walked in with his head held high and his chest puffed out, and several soldiers behind him followed him.
People kept looking at Zhuang Chen.
Originally, he could have just given the herbs and left, but he was asked to go there in person.
The rigor here was much stricter than he imagined.
The person in front led Zhuang Chen inside and walked to a villa.
Zhuang Chen stood outside, waiting for the guard's report.
"Go in."
He heard a weak cough as soon as he walked to the door, and someone whispered to comfort him.
Zhuang Chen heard the sound of breathing of varying degrees of intensity, and his brows twisted into a knot. It seemed that there were quite a few people inside.
"Click!"
When the door was opened, there were rows of big figures standing, including Zhu Zhengju and Liu Fan, and Quan Di and his son were also here.
There were also a few people he didn't know.
Zhuang Chen's eyes sank slightly. He didn't expect them to be here too.
An old man in his fifties sat on the sofa in the middle of the hall. He was pale and covered his mouth with his hands and coughed from time to time.
His hair was gray and his body was thin like a skeleton. It seemed that he had been ill for a long time.
He looked at Zhuang Chen with empty eyes, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You are the owner of the super farm that everyone loves."
"I don't dare to take this. Everyone thinks highly of me."
Zhuang Chen bowed his head and smiled modestly.
A man who looked like a housekeeper came over and took the medicine bag from Zhuang Chen.
When he opened it and took a closer look, he froze in place. He put the medicine bag in front of his nose in disbelief and confirmed it again and again.
He looked at Mr. Gao with wide eyes and tears in his eyes.
"Mr. Gao, your illness is cured."
The old housekeeper's voice trembled uncontrollably, and he took steps to put the medicine bag to Mr. Gao's nose.
Mr. Gao seemed much calmer, but his eyes were a little brighter.
He hooked his hand and whispered in the old housekeeper's ear, waving his hand to let him go.
"Thank you very much for your generosity this time, and I won't take it for nothing."
Mr. Gao said slowly in a hoarse and weak voice, and he gave someone a look.
The people beside him understood and pulled over a cart, on which were neatly arranged high-quality crystals, and next to them were golden jewels.
Zhu Zhengju and the others stared at them with their eyes wide open, but they still restrained themselves and lowered their heads to look at their toes.
Zhuang Chen seemed very calm, which made Gao Lao look at him with new eyes.
"A deputy assistant to the director is indeed generous enough."
He glanced at the things on the cart and sighed in his heart.
"Then thank you, Gao Lao."
Zhuang Chen nodded slightly to express his gratitude to the other party.
"I really want to thank this young man this time."
"You are really the savior of the end of the world. I am so lucky to have you."
"Thank you, but you two don't have to be so exaggerated."
"..."
The Quan family father and son performed a series of tricks on Zhuang Chen, and Zhu Zhengju couldn't bear to see it and whispered a reminder.
They were dissatisfied and rolled their eyes secretly, but didn't respond to his words.
Zhuang Chen's mouth curled up a faint smile, and he understood their actions.
He wanted to flatter him and cause displeasure to the people above him so that he could take action against him.
It was a good plan.
Zhuang Chen wanted to leave, but Gao Lao tried his best to keep him and invited him to stay for dinner.
Others also talked to him, so Zhuang Chen had to stay.
"Let's raise a glass to Zhuang Chen."
"Gao Lao will drink medicine soon, so don't drink."
Hearing Zhuang Chen's kind reminder, Gao Lao shyly lowered his head and smiled and replaced it with a cup of tea.
Others pretended to be brothers with Zhuang Chen, especially the Quan family father and son who wanted to eat him alive.
When Gao Lao's boiled Chinese medicine was served, everyone looked over.
He drank tea calmly to cover himself up.
