After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 429

At this time, Yan Congzhi finished cleaning up and returned to the dining table.

Ni Yangzhou put the information aside and stood up:

"Let's go to the hospital first."

The two arrived at the garage. This version of Yan Congzhi had never driven an ordinary car because he had lost his right leg. They were all modified vehicles. This time, just in case, Ni Yangzhou got into the driver's seat first, and Yan Congzhi followed silently behind and went to the passenger seat.

They were silent all the way. Ni Yangzhou saw that the man in the passenger seat had his eyes closed and was recuperating.

Unfortunately, they arrived at the hospital just when Kang Kang was resting. He said that he had just completed a complete physical examination and visitors were not allowed. Ni Yangzhou had to leave with Yan Congzhi first.

He planned to ask about Kang Kang's situation in the system when he thought it was about time in the evening.

Yan Congzhi received a call and was told that he had to go to the company to take care of something. He originally wanted Ni Yangzhou to go home first, but the worried young man was worried, so he acted as a driver. When they arrived at the place, Yan Congzhi arranged for him to play games in a lounge for half the afternoon.

Things went smoothly. At least Ni Yangzhou didn't see any details that revealed any clues. After all, no normal person would think that the boss's appearance remained the same, but his inner character suddenly changed, which is like a novel plot.

As for how Yan Congzhi delayed his official business, Ni Yangzhou didn't care. It was probably just a delay, a cold face, and something like that. As long as there was no system prompt, Ni Yangzhou was relieved.

There was some traffic jam on the way back. Until almost dinner time, the two were still struggling to move forward on the crowded road, like a slow snail, crawling forward a few meters from time to time.

Ni Yangzhou was a little annoyed. He turned on the navigation, found an alley, and went into it after twists and turns, trying to take a shortcut to avoid the congested road.

It was a coincidence that the person he was looking for appeared before his eyes. He had not planned the details originally, but Ni Yangzhou always regarded encounters as fate.

He lowered the window, stuck half his head out, and shouted to the people in front who were carrying sacks of various sizes:

"Engineer Lu? Engineer Lu?"

When Lu Zheng turned around, he saw the person he had only met once in the hospital waving at him with a smile on his face in the narrow alley.

The weather was hot, the things were heavy, and after dragging and carrying them for such a long distance, Lu Zheng felt that he definitely didn't look good now. At least he could feel that his bangs were sticking to his forehead and his shirt was wet and stuck to his body. It was really not a good time to exchange pleasantries, and...

So he pursed his lips, lowered his head, pretended not to see it, and continued to drag the sack forward with all his strength, like a stubborn sheep.

Ni Yangzhou raised his eyebrows and unbuckled his seat belt. Yan Congzhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nothing.

Ni Yangzhou got out of the car without turning off the engine. He ran to the man who was doing the hard labor and grabbed the sack on his shoulder. As expected, it was very heavy.

"Engineer Lu! It's me, Guo Mengling's brother."

"It's so heavy, let me help you put it in the car and I'll take you back!"

Ni Yangzhou was full of enthusiasm and carried all the things on his shoulders. Lu Zheng could no longer pretend to be stupid.

Lu Zheng's eyebrows were a little sparse, perhaps because he was not at the research institute, so he did not wear glasses, looking a little younger. At this time, he turned around and said:

"Oh, it's you. I didn't recognize you."

He stopped talking after that. He raised one hand as if to take the sack that Ni Yangzhou was carrying on his shoulder. But there was no way Ni Yangzhou could let him reach it. He stepped back and hit something with his heel.

When I turned around, it was Yan Congzhi who came over. He took the sack directly and put it back in the trunk of the car without saying a word.

Lu Zheng said "No need, I'll take it back myself" in a dry voice, like a game authorization informed consent form that no one would notice.

Ni Yangzhou smiled, showing his fangs, looking sunny and cheerful, and instructed Yan Congzhi to put the sack in Lu Zheng's hand onto the car.

The sack was tied tightly with the most common nylon rope, but from its stretched shape, one could vaguely tell it was a bag of pumpkins.

It is very big, probably the kind of pumpkin that you can't find in supermarkets, with a dark color and thick skin. It is a pumpkin that has been exposed to enough wind, frost, rain and dew in the fields in the countryside and has come here from thousands of miles away.

Ni Yangzhou patted the other person's arm with a kind look on his face, saying:

"Engineer Lu, why are you being so polite to me? You saved Meng Ling, which means you saved me. You are my savior! I can't even thank you enough. Where are you going? I'll take you there!"

Ni Yangzhou tried to lead his men to the car, but Lu Zheng seemed to have taken root and was clearly refusing.

"I'll be home soon, no need to send me off."

Lu Zheng's face was tense, sweat dripped from his temples, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Ni Yangzhou didn't show it on his face, but he was actually observing the other party's words and actions. Seeing this, Yan Congzhi walked up to him and said:

"The dormitory provided by the institute is about 35 kilometers away from here."

The man glanced at his watch. "It might be difficult to get a taxi with all this stuff. If I take public transportation back, it'll be almost time for the gate when I get there."

Lu Zheng looked at the man standing in front of him who blocked a large part of the light. He knew the other person, and he could even say that he had heard of his name for a long time. He also naturally knew the other person's importance. This Enigama, the only one he could touch, made him feel a lot of pressure, although the other party did not release any intimidating pheromones.

After hearing all these words, Lu Zheng had no reason to refuse.

Ni Yangzhou patted Yan Congzhi's clothes, feeling a little annoyed that the man looked like a threat with such a cold face.

"Mr. Lu, I'm a very reliable driver. I guarantee you'll get back on time! Don't worry!"

Lu Zheng clenched his teeth and could only mumble:

"Thank you then."

"Hey, what are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you."

Ni Yangzhou let the other person sit on the back seat, and then he looked at Yan Congzhi, who was already sitting on the passenger seat. It seemed that he was afraid that he would give up the passenger seat to Lu Zheng, so he went over and occupied the seat first.

Ni Yangzhou blinked, got back into the car and fastened his seat belt.

The black car started to move slowly. Ni Yangzhou looked through the middle rearview mirror and saw Lu Zheng looking out with his head tilted to the side. He sat upright, not relaxed at all, like a tourist who had been kidnapped and dared not ask for help.

Ni Yangzhou coughed to attract attention and said slowly:

"It's really hot today."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Lu Zheng was silent, with his lips tightly pursed.

Yan Congzhi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, just said "hmm" like a yes-man.

"It's hot."

Ni Yangzhou smiled dryly and said:

"If you ask me, in this hot weather, the only way to feel comfortable is to play games at home, with the air conditioner on and the sofa lying on the ground. But don't scientific research talents like Mr. Lu play games?"

When Lu Zheng was called, he sat up straighter and said in a low voice, "No."

"You play too? On the computer? On your phone? How about we team up and play online? I'm a pretty good gamer!"

Yan Congzhi glanced at the boasting person inconspicuously from the corner of his eye, without exposing his failure that afternoon.

"No... I can't play online, so I'll just play single-player games."

Lu Zheng seemed unwilling to have any unnecessary connection with Ni Yangzhou.

"Single-player game?" Ni Yangzhou raised his voice.

"What's it called? Maybe I've played it before?"

Lu Zheng looked at the slowly changing scenery outside the window and hesitated:

"Just a snake... or something."

"Oh." Ni Yangzhou replied thoughtfully:

"Snake."

“I’ve actually played it before.”
