805 Hurt Himself

In fact, Lu Tong didn't really like Yuan Tianxing. He tried to approach him only because the latter's high status in the base could provide him with a stable life.

He used to be a commoner, a weak one. Currently, he was only a space possessor. He wasn't strong enough to protect himself in the difficult post-apocalyptic world. So, in order to survive, he had no choice but to seek protection from the others.

He left the medical department when he felt better.

He knew that Yuan Tianxing spent most of his time working in his office, and even ate and rested in that office. He went to the construction site to supervise the constructional work occasionally, and apart from that, he barely left his office. It was hard for Lu Tong to approach him, as he couldn't go straight to his office. Besides, not everyone was allowed in the Deputy Chief's office.

Lu Tong spent a short time thinking, then decided to play his old trick.

Two days later, he finally spotted Yuan Tianxing come out of the office building that night. His dorm wasn't far away from the office. Therefore, he usually traveled between the dorm and the office by foot, together with Lu Junjie. It would take him about ten minutes walking.

Lu Tong followed behind him, holding a brick. He found an area that Yuan Tianxing would pass and hid in a nearby corner. He first looked at Yuan Tianxing and his people, then made his own clothes messy. After that, he looked at the brick in his hand and took a deep breath.

A fierce look could be detected from his eyes when he hit his own head with the brick. He hit on a side of his head and not the forehead or the back. In that way, people would guess that someone else attacked him.

"Eh…" He gave a muffled moan in pain. Before losing consciousness, he threw away the brick. After that, he fell to the ground and left his wound bleeding.

The place he chose wasn't far away from Yuan Tianxing, and wasn't too close either. It seemed like a corner, but allowed him to be seen by other people easily. Yuan Tianxing was an observant man, so he would certainly see Lu Lang lying on the ground when he walked past that area. Even if he didn't see Lu Tong, his subordinates who were following behind him would.

Lu Tong had a perfect plan. He made it look like he was under attack and waited for Yuan Tianxing to spot him. Yuan Tianxing would definitely try to save him. After saving him, he would recognize him as the man who saved his friends at the construction site and then passed out.

He believed that what he did at the construction site had left Yuan Tianxing a good impression Therefore, after saving him this time, Yuan Tianxing would definitely remember him.

That was the second step of Lu Tong's plan—letting Yuan Tianxing save him. For the third step, he would approach Yuan Tianxing openly to thank him.

Lu Tong had no idea that the show he created had fallen completely into the eyes of Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying, who were on a nearby roof and looking at him. When he fell into unconsciousness, Long Qingying leaped off the roof, grasped his collar to lift him up, and then carried him away.

"He really did that! This guy is really ambitious, and he is even willing to hurt himself for what he wants," Lin Wenwen looked down at Lu Tong who was brought onto the roof by Long Qingying, and thrown to the ground. She sneered, her eyes glowing with a cold light.

Long Qingying said expressionlessly, "Deputy Chief is going that way and has keen eyes. He would see this man even if he wasn't paying attention to the surroundings. And, he would surely save him."

"I thought this guy would fall straight in front of Tianxing a couple of days ago at the construction site," said Lin Wenwen, "However, he only made a show to impress Tianxing. This time, he made it serious. It turns out that he has the whole thing planned."

That day, he saved another man at the construction site only to make Yuan Tianxing look at him and remember him. And now, he knocked himself out with a brick. Not everybody could do that.

"He's still too impatient though. It has only been a couple of days, yet he already planned to lie on the ground right in front of Deputy Chief. Wouldn't Deputy Chief get suspicious?" Long Qingying said with slight confusion.

Lin Wenwen smiled and said, "He's confident. I think he believes that Tianxing wouldn't get suspicious so soon."

"Why is he trying to approach Deputy Chief like this?" Long Qingying looked at Lu Tong curiously, ignoring his bleeding wound.

Lin Wenwen said with a scornful look, "He's only trying to find someone powerful to rely on, so that he can live a stable life in this base. Of course, the way he chose is a bit too disgusting."

She thought of the image that she had seen in her mind. In that image, Lu Tong stripped Yuan Tianxing and made the latter lie upon himself, who was also naked. Apart from that, he didn't seem to do anything else. Lin Wenwen guessed that Lu Tong first planned to leave Yuan Tianxing a good impression, then he would make it look like the two of them had slept together. After that, Yuan Tianxing would feel guilty about what he thought had happened and start to protect Lu Tong.

What Lin Wenwen had seen in her mind was not an established fact. She didn't know for sure what it meant or what it had foreshown. It was not like what happened with the metal vine. She had seen the vine for real and then jumped back to a couple of hours ago. She couldn't tell why though.

She had been trying to figure that out, but hadn't come to any result yet.

"Disgusting?" Long Qingying didn't know about what Lin Wenwen had seen in her own mind. She looked at Lu Tong confusedly. What Lu Tong had done was indeed not decent, but it wasn't disgusting either. At most, it made her feel that he was a sneaky person.

Long Qingying sensitively felt that Lin Wenwen wasn't talking about what Lu Tong had been doing.

Also, why did Lin Wenwen suddenly have her eyes on Lu Tong once she returned to the base? She had been out there collecting supplies before that while Lu Tong was one of the second batch of Hades survivors. The two of them shouldn't have met each other. However, Lin Wenwen asked Long Qingying to find out Lu Tong's background right after she came back to the base. How did she know that Lu Tong was having some bad intentions toward Yuan Tianxing?

Did she happen to see anything the day she came back?

Long Qingying wasn't as smart as Lin Wenwen was, so she couldn't think straight immediately for many things. However, she believed everything what Lin Wenwen said; she never doubted her.

Lin Wenwen glanced at Lu Tong and said, "Let's go. You'll understand." Having finished talking, she walked toward the stairs without Long Qingying.

Long Qingying looked at Lu Tong, who was still unconscious, and asked, "What should we do with him?"

While walking, Lin Wenwen waved her hand and said, "Just dump him anywhere that people can see."

Some other people would find him and send him to the medical department.

Long Qingying quickly lifted Lu Tong, then leaped off the roof.

Down on the ground, Yuan Tianxing and his people walked past the area that Lu Tong was supposed to be without discovering anything abnormal. With big steps, he headed toward where he lived without pausing.
