nHearing Yuan Tianxing’s words, the others looked at him with surprise. They were all curious about the water he had mentioned.

nDu Yuanxing quickly walked and took out a vacuum bottle from his bag, twisting off its cap and pouring some water into it. After that, he handed the cap to Yuan Tianxing.

nYuan Tianxing took it over, then said to Wu Chengyue, “This water has some special effects. Let the kid drink it…see if it helps. The awakening of superpower is a big deal. I can’t guarantee if this water can help.”

nWu Chengyue took over the water and looked at Yuan Tianxing with surprise. He glanced at Yan Fangyu, then turned back to Yuan Tianxing and asked, “Deputy Chief Yuan, can this water…really slow down the awakening of her power?”

nHe shouldn’t reject Yuan Tianxing’s kindness straightforwardly. However, it was the first time he had met Yuan Tianxing. Even though he believed that the other had no reason to hurt his daughter, he still needed to be careful.

nHe had heard Yuan Tianxing’s name. They never met in person before, but he knew that the latter wasn’t a bad guy.

nYuan Tianxing shook his head and replied, “That I can’t guarantee. To be honest, I can’t tell the exact effects of this water. But, it’s really good for human bodies. You can choose to believe me or not.”

nWu Chengyue gazed at him in the eyes. He thought for a moment, then took a sip of the water himself and sensed a coolness from the tip of his tongue. After that, he put the water near Ling Ling’s mouth without hesitation while saying, “Ling Ling, Ling Ling? Come on, have some water, here…Open your mouth.”

nHe wasn’t sure if he should believe Yuan Tianxing or not. However, as long as there was a gleam of hope, he would try. He knew that Yuan Tianxing wouldn’t try to hurt his daughter, because that would do him no good.

nWu Yueling now seemed to be a little muddleheaded. She glanced at her father, then obediently opened her little mouth, waiting for Wu Chengyue to pour the water into it.

nXiao Yunlong couldn’t stop touching the little girl’s hands and forehead. “She’s getting hotter and hotter. What should we do?”

nAfter making Wu Yueling drink the water, Wu Chengyue gave the cap back to Yuan Tianxing, then touched the kid’s forehead as well.

nThen, his heart sank deeper.

nYuan Tianxing took over the cap and asked Du Yuanxing to refill it, then handed it back to Wu Chengyue and said, “Here, give her another cup. Normally, three cups will not work. But, she’s just a kid, so I think they will be enough for her.”

nWu Chengyue glanced at him, then gave the water to Wu Yueling without saying anything.

nAt that moment, a voice was heard from beside them, “Eh? Deputy Chief, why are you standing here? Chief Wu and Deputy Chief Xiao, you’re back! Nice to see you!”

nThe group of people turned around to find Lin Yu looking at them with surprise, holding a bagful of meds.

n“Ah, we were here to pick you up,” said Xiao Yunlong, “Then we met Chief Wu. We needed to talk, so we came here.”

nLin Yu walked to beside Du Yuanxing and confusedly watched Wu Chengyue give the lid back to him. After that, Du Yuanxing filled the lid with water for the third time, then handed it back to Wu Chengyue.

nYan Fangyu smiled and said, “I didn’t know that Mr. Yuan has such nice staff. Is this some kind of miracle potion?”

nYuan Tianxing gave her a faint smile, then responded, “Kind of.”

nWu Chengyue doubtfully made his daughter drink the third cup of water, then gave it back to Du Yuanxing and said, “Thank you! If Ling Ling does get better, come to me if you need any help.”

nLin Yu didn’t know what happened, and could only watch them confusedly.

nYuan Tianxing smiled and replied, “Sure! Chief Wu, you will be able to help us a lot. Actually, Chief, and two Deputy Chiefs, I have a favor to ask right now. Don’t tell anyone about the effect of this water.”

n“We won’t, don’t worry!” said Yan Fangyu smilingly.

nWu Chengyue nodded, but his eyes were fixed on his daughter.

nYuan Tianxing looked at him and said, “You should take the kid back to get some rest, and we should leave too. I think the water won’t show its effects immediately, so be patient.”

nWu Chengyue smiled and nodded at him again as he said, “Sorry that I didn’t welcome you today. When I’m not busy, I’ll invite you to dinner.”

nYuan Tianxing carelessly shook his head and responded, “Eh, don’t mention it! I do want to help the kid.”

nAfter saying goodbye to each other, Yan Fangyu, Yuan Tianxing, and Du Yuanxing went back to their own places.

nAfter Yan Fangyu had left, Lin Yu asked Du Yuanxing, “What water did Deputy Chief give the little princess?”

nHearing him, Du Yuanixng glanced at the medicines held in Lin Yu’s hand and said to Yuan Tianxing, “Boss, in fact, we don’t need these meds. It’s a little wasteful to trade these with food.”

nWith the water in Lu Tianyu’s space, they really didn’t need these normal medicines.

n“We did it to show the others that we have enough food,” said Yuan Tianxing, “This might attract some people to work for us.”

n“Ah…” Du Yuanxing blinked and responded without fully understanding. Why did they want the others to know that they had food? What if some people decided to rob them?

nHowever, as long as his boss was here, no one would be able to actually rob them, unless that person was at level-six or seven.

n“You’ve had some of the water that I gave the little princess just now,” said Yuan Tianxing to Lin Yu. “Aren’t you feeling that you’re recovering too quickly? That’s our secret weapon, so don’t tell anyone.”

n“Then why did you let Wu Chengyue and the two Deputy Chiefs know?” Lin Yu asked.

nYuan Tianxing smiled and continued, “Firstly, I want to know if the water can do something to the awakening of superpowers…Secondly, if we help him this time, he’ll owe us a big favor. So in the future, there would be no unpleasantness between us if we cooperate. As for Miss. Yan, she’s not a bad person, so it’s fine for her to know.”

nHearing that, Du Yuanxing wore an evil smile and asked, “Boss, do you have a crush on the dream girl of their whole base? Be careful, you might get murdered!”

nYuan Tianxing gave him a bland glance while saying, “What are you talking about? I have someone in my heart. But, Miss. Yan has been so friendly to me, so I can’t keep showing her a cold face, can I? Besides, she has helped us a lot. Be gentle to ladies, don’t you know that? No wonder you’ve been single the whole time!”

nDu Yuanxing looked at him, feeling a little speechless. “Like you’re not single…” he said.

nAnd it was Yuan Tianxing who didn’t know how to respond this time.

nLin Yu glanced at the two of them and said, “Our Deputy Chief is so handsome and nice, so it’s normal for ladies to like him. He has always been popular among ladies.”

nDu Yuanxing rubbed his jaw and said to Yuan Tianxing, “Em, you’re right! I nearly forgot that quite some women fancied you before. I just don’t understand who on earth do you like? If you like someone, you have to tell her!”
