Sister, I don't want to try

As Liu Yuan uttered those words, Lu Yuan raised his head and glanced at her.

"Some people really do get tired of living..."

"Which family is it?"

Before Liu Yuan could speak, a shout came from the reception hall outside: "Anyone here? Courier delivery!"

Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Liu Yuan nodded, "The delivery address left by the buyer is our place."

"And you're the recipient."

Seeing Lu Yuan's increasingly strange gaze, Liu Yuan hurriedly said, "Of course, boss, I believe this absolutely couldn't have been done by you, especially since the buyer actually paid Tianyu Hospital five hundred thousand for this."

Lu Yuan glared at Liu Yuan, "What do you mean?"

"Anyone here? Courier?!"

Liu Yuan quickly pointed outside, "I'll go sign for it!"

A small freight truck escorted by several armed mercenaries was parked in the plaza in front of the clinic.

These days, couriers had to carry some firepower to maintain order, or else an entire truckload of deliveries could be snatched away in no time.

Liu Yuan approached and reported Lu Yuan's name, and one of the mercenaries handed her a specially designed small low-temperature refrigerated container.

"The total courier fee is one hundred and twenty-eight thousand, of which the shipping cost is twenty thousand and eight hundred, because there's no courier station in your area, we had to come all the way from Xifu City."

"The security fee is one hundred thousand, which has already been paid by the sender, just letting you know."

This fee was not considered too expensive in this day and age, after all, the couriers were literally risking their lives to deliver packages.

Liu Yuan asked, "Did the sender leave any messages or anything?"

"Yes, they asked to inform Tianyu Hospital that this item should be kept at your place for now, and someone will come over later to..."

At this point, the courier gave Liu Yuan a strange look and continued, "Someone will come over later to 'take over'."

The courier emphasized the words "take over."

Liu Yuan accepted the refrigerated container and nodded, "Thank you, take care."

"You're welcome!"

As the couriers prepared to leave, the porters who had unloaded the cargo had also finished their work.

Liu Yuan paid them thirty thousand for the shipping and labor fees, as they had to return to Xifu City. The porters joined the couriers on their way back.

As soon as they left the medical university's gate, one of the porters rolled down the window and asked the courier, "Hey buddy, what did you guys deliver here?"

The courier driving the car had an arrogant expression on his face, "Uncle, if I told you, you'd be scared to death. What we delivered this time was no joke!"

The porter scoffed, "Scare me to death? Kid, if I told you what I delivered, you'd be the one scared to death!"

The courier wouldn't back down, sticking up his thumb and pointing behind them at the medical university, "Uncle, we delivered human organs!"

The porter immediately looked disdainful, "Hmph! Just that?"

"Listen up, kid! We delivered corpses, three of them! With stars on their shoulders, at least two stars each!"

The courier: "..."

Looking at the small freight truck carrying the bodies, the couriers suddenly felt a sense of reverence.

Of course, they couldn't help but glance back nervously at the medical university.

The courier driving the car unconsciously stepped on the gas pedal.

Inside the clinic.

Lu Yuan inspected the item delivered by the courier.

The entire organ was immersed in a preservative solution, fully intact from the outside to the inside.

After transferring it to the refrigeration chamber on the negative second floor, Lu Yuan returned to his office and pondered deeply.

He knew there weren't many people who would spend money so freely on his clinic.

The Clown was one, but it couldn't be him.

Soon, Liu Yuan came to ask Lu Yuan what he wanted for dinner, but Lu Yuan didn't respond after she called his name twice.

He didn't even hear his phone ringing.

Liu Yuan glanced at the caller ID on the phone, then patted Lu Yuan's shoulder, "Boss, your lifesaver is calling!"

Lu Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the number on the phone, realizing who had sent the item.

Lu Yuan answered the call, and a woman's voice came through: "Little Lu, did you receive the item I sent you?"

The voice was curt and decisive, suggesting the speaker was a decisive person.

Lu Yuan: "Received it."

"That's good, I'll arrange for a few doctors and a girl to come to your place in the next couple of days. You don't need to do anything, just prepare an operating room."

"No problem."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, "Little Lu, how has your clinic been doing lately?"

"Pretty good."

"You're still as stubborn as ever. I've told you, whenever you don't want to work so hard anymore, just let me know. In this vast Western Capital, I own a third of it. I can give you half! Isn't that better than you slaving away doing double eyelid surgeries every day?"

"Your husband might not agree."

Another brief silence on the phone.

"Little Lu, your brother-in-law might be having some issues lately. That Explorer guy has made a move against him several times already. To be honest, Little Lu, your sister might suddenly..."

Lu Yuan: "Life and death are determined by fate, you can't force it."

Silence on the phone: "..."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Oh, by the way, I've set you up with another client, they might come over in the next couple of days."

Lu Yuan: "Thank you, sister."

"Don't mention it. Back when you were ten, a lone child lost in the wilderness, it was me who brought you back from the brink of death. Seeing you grow up and make money, I'm happy too!"

"I'll introduce you to a few more wealthy clients later. You should take the opportunity to hook up with one of them!"

"There are so many rich young female Gifted in the Western Capital! If you bag one of them, you'll be set for life! Why don't you just move your clinic to the Western Capital?"

Lu Yuan frowned, "Sister, the Western Capital is a society under the rule of law, it's not free enough for me."

"Little Lu... You can still be free in a society governed by law."

This time, Lu Yuan didn't respond.

"But I'm glad you have your own convictions. Let me go now, and don't forget what I've told you!"

"Sister, let me remind you of something."

"Go ahead."

"Make sure your people behave themselves at my place, or else the headcount on their way back might be off."

"I know, I know, stop hanging around with those uncivilized rural folks, look at how they've corrupted you, you haven't even grown hair yet and you're already learning to threaten people..."

With that, the call ended.

Putting down the phone, Lu Yuan walked to the window and gazed at the sunset in the west, his thoughts drifting back to many years ago.

That day, he was struck by lightning in another world and fell into a coma.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a foggy wasteland.

And he had turned into a ten-year-old child.

A few creatures that looked like wolves were circling around him.

Just as he was panicking and helpless, an armored off-road vehicle convoy roared in!

They ran over and crushed those creatures to death!

Afterward, a group of Gifted and mercenaries got off the vehicles, escorting a woman.

It was from this woman that Lu Yuan discovered his replication ability.

It was also because of this woman's connections that the Integrated Inspection Bureau Director of X Region was willing to allocate a piece of land to a little brat to open a clinic for free.

Even more so, it was thanks to this woman's connections that a steady stream of young female Gifted came to Lu Yuan when he was still very weak, allowing him to reap benefits from them...

This woman's name was Luo Jiangning, the wife of the Integrated Inspection Bureau Director of X Region.

And she was a woman who had always wanted Lu Yuan to utter the words, "Sister, I don't want to work so hard anymore."

At that moment, as Lu Yuan was lost in thought, the number dispenser in the reception hall began to operate.

Someone had taken a number.
