In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

The middle-aged man leaned back on the sofa, holding his phone, his expression thoughtful.

As his father's attending physician, he had naturally investigated the other party.

but........

"Is this Lu Yun the same Lu Yun that Xiaodie knows?"

"Zhengyang, come quickly and help your dad up."

"coming!"

A woman's soft exclamation at the bottom of the stairs pulled the man back to reality.

The man quickly stepped forward and, together with the woman, helped the elderly man downstairs.

Looking at his father, who had regained his composure, the man's face broke into a long-lost smile.

"Dad, how are you feeling today?"

"I feel a bit better than yesterday. The doctor you found is simply a miracle worker. So many doctors prescribed medicine that didn't work, but after two doses of his medicine, I'm almost completely better."

The speaker was an elderly man with graying temples, wearing a Zhongshan suit.

Although he was rather thin, just a week ago he was lying in bed on the verge of death.

But now... his eyes are bright and he is full of energy. On the surface, he looks completely different from the listless person he used to be lying in his hospital bed.

"Hehehe, that's right. But this miracle doctor just told me that he wants you to go to Chengdu for treatment..."

"Rongcheng? Is that the city where Qian Laoguai lives?"

"Yes Yes!"

"Sure, I was just thinking of going out for a walk too."

Chapter 48 A Good-for-Nothing Who Does Nothing

The old man is actually not very old; he is only 72 years old this year.

If he hadn't been diagnosed with an incurable disease, with the power and medical team his family had, he could have lived to at least 90.

But reality is just that cruel.

A week ago, he had already started making his own funeral arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yun used a few doses of herbal medicine to pull him back from the brink of death.

The elderly man, who has been given a new lease on life, has become indifferent to many things. His only wish now is to enjoy the rest of his life.

So when he heard that the other party asked him to go to Chengdu for medical treatment, he was not angry at all, but rather eager to try.

"But your body..."

"It's nothing serious. I know my own body best. I'll need to rest for a couple more days, and then I should be able to move around normally again."

The man was somewhat worried about his father's health, but further treatment only needed to begin before the condition worsened.

Therefore, unable to go against his father's wishes, he had no choice but to support his father's decision.

........

Two days later, the man booked a plane ticket for the old man to Chengdu.

Lu Yun also managed to raise his group points to 850 by checking in daily.

Around 2 p.m., the plane successfully brought Lu Yun to Green City, the city where Li Zhou had been deceived.

Upon arriving in this unfamiliar city, Lu Yun couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

Since the time-traveler chat group came along, he's been running around every day.

I was either completing group tasks or on my way to completing group tasks, and I've used every mode of transportation imaginable.

My biggest feeling isn't that I'm so awesome, but that no matter how bustling these unfamiliar cities are, they don't feel as comfortable as the cities I'm familiar with.

Even in a first-tier city like Shanghai, Lu Yun had this feeling.

Perhaps the saying "There's no place like home" is used to describe this feeling.

He took out his phone and pretended to call 'Li Zhou', but as expected, the other party didn't answer.

Then he sent another message.

"Old classmate, I've arrived at the airport. Where are you?"

The other party replied very quickly.

"I'm sorry, something came up today and I can't make it. But I've sent two employees to pick you up. Their phone number is 159XXXXXXXX. Please call them!"

The other party sent me a phone number.

Without hesitation, Lu Yun replied "received" and immediately made the call.

"Hello, I'm Zou Qing, Li Zhou's classmate."

Zou Qing is the name of Li Zhou.

I did have a good relationship with Li Zhou when we were in school.

Even if the other party wanted to investigate, they wouldn't be able to find out anything in a short time.

"Excuse me, there's a bit of traffic here. Please wait for us for two minutes."

"Huh? Two more minutes? What kind of work are you doing? It's so cold, didn't you know you should come earlier to pick me up? Is this how my brother taught you to work?"

Lu Yun's tone sounded somewhat resentful.

The person who contacted Li Zhou's father had told him that Li Zhou was a senior executive in a company here.

The two men sent were Li Zhou's underlings.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with Lu Yun speaking like this.

Upon hearing Lu Yun's words, the two people who were responsible for picking him up were completely dumbfounded.

Damn it, what's going on?

This kid really thinks he's some kind of high-level executive?

"I'm...I'm sorry, we were only notified at the last minute!"

"Hurry up, I'm right at the airport entrance, the one wearing a black down jacket and dragging a yellow suitcase."

At this moment, Lu Yun was carrying a hiking backpack, pulling a suitcase, and wearing a large pair of blue Beats headphones.

On the surface, he just looks like someone who came out to work.

And he's a hothead too.

"Okay, okay, we'll be there soon."

"What the hell is that?"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Guangnian cursed angrily: "They haven't even arrived yet, and they're already putting on airs in front of us."

"Alright, let's go along with him for now. Once he's in our hands, we can do whatever we want with him."

"Damn it, once we get him out of the city, I'll make him kneel down and beg for mercy."

The two had actually arrived long ago, but being naturally wary, they wanted to hide in the shadows and observe first.

As soon as Lu Yun's image arouses even the slightest suspicion in them, they will immediately abandon the fat sheep in front of them.

Fortunately, Lu Yun's image was acceptable in their eyes.

Although he is 183 cm tall and has decent looks, the oversized down jacket concealed his muscles.

He didn't look particularly special at all.

Coupled with his nonchalant demeanor while wearing Beats headphones, they were convinced that this guy was just a good-for-nothing who idled away his time.

After most of the other passengers had left the airport, they quickly found Lu Yun.

After discussing it with each other, the two came to Lu Yun.

"You must be Zou Qing? We just spoke on the phone."

One of the two had medium-length hair, was shorter than Lu Yun, and had an average build.

The other one was a head taller than Lu Yun, with a buzz cut and a very burly build; he looked like a thug.

Lu Yun didn't stand on ceremony and handed over the suitcase directly.

"Hehe, you've finally arrived. Come on, help me with my luggage."

"Let me do it."

The burly man readily agreed, picked up Lu Yun's luggage, and walked towards a car parked by the roadside.

Xu Guangnian called Lu Yun over, followed the burly man, and chatted with Lu Yun casually.

"How are you, brother? Tired from the journey?"

"I'm not tired, it's just that the plane ticket is a bit expensive."

"It's normal for airplanes to be a bit expensive, but things will get better in the future. Manager Li is a big shot in our company now. If you come and join him, you'll have plenty of opportunities to make money in the future."

"Really?" Lu Yun beamed. "Then I made the right choice coming here."

Xu Guangnian also smiled meaningfully.

"Let's go, get in the car first."

The car was a Volkswagen, not the Audi that Li Zhou had mentioned, but Lu Yun didn't mind and sat directly in the back seat.

Xu Guangnian was in charge of driving, while the burly man and Lu Yun sat in the back.

However, the two did not take Lu Yun to the suburbs, but instead took him to an office building in the city.

This office building isn't too remote; many staff members are busy inside.

Xu Guangnian arranged for Lu Yun to stay in a reception room, and then ordered someone to serve Lu Yun a cup of tea.

"Hey bro, have a sip of hot tea to soothe your throat!"

Lu Yun took the tea, but only placed it on the table without drinking it.

"Your company is quite big."
