After Qin Wufu finished reading the information, his expression turned odd.
However, Lu Su said excitedly, "Uncle Qin, with Zhou Wen's ability, our deployment at Chess Mountain won't be so passive …"
"I'm afraid I can't give this person to you," Qin Wufu said.
Lu Su couldn't help but be taken aback as she asked in puzzlement, "Why? Uncle Qin, don't you believe me? I can guarantee that this information is true. The ability of Zhou Wen's Companion Beast can indeed effectively form antibodies, allowing the soldiers to no longer be afraid of the blood in the river. The side effects are also very small … "
"No, Susu, you misunderstood me. I believe in your research and information, and I know that Zhou Wen does have such an ability. However, I still can't give him to you. Or rather, I don't have the authority to give him to you," Qin Wufu said with a bitter smile.
"You are the commander-in-chief of Chess Mountain. How can you not have the authority? What's Zhou Wen's background? Could he be sent by the Federation? "Lu Su asked in puzzlement.
"No, he should be considered a member of the Sunset Army, but his identity is somewhat special," Qin Wufu said.
"Regardless of his identity, since he is a member of the Sunset Army, even if he is the Overseer, he has the obligation to protect the lives of the soldiers. He has the responsibility to contribute his strength," Lu Su said solemnly.
"If he was the Overseer, that would be easy. Unfortunately, he isn't," Qin Wufu said.
"Uncle Qin, who is he?" Lu Su couldn't hold it in any longer.
"His name is Zhou Wen. The man Madam Lan married also has the surname Zhou. What do you think his identity is?" Qin Wufu said.
Lu Su immediately widened her eyes and said in surprise, "Madam Lan actually found such a young husband … Isn't this Old Niu …"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Madam Lan's husband was Zhou Wen's father. Zhou Wen was still studying at Sunset College and was still a student. In the past, he had studied under Wang Mingyuan for a period of time, so the bureau had targeted him and wanted to capture him for interrogation. Madam Lan placed him with us in the hope that we can protect him. Now that you're getting him to treat those soldiers, how am I to answer to Madam Lan if something happens to them if there are people from the bureau among them? "Qin Wufu berated.
Lu Su came to a sudden realization. "So that's how it is. But if that's the case, even if it's for Madam Lan's sake, shouldn't he be more willing to help?"
"Nonsense. If I say no, then no. I can't let anything happen to him." It wasn't that Qin Wufu didn't want Zhou Wen to help.
However, An Sheng had repeatedly instructed him not to let anything happen to Zhou Wen or interfere with his actions. If anything happened to Zhou Wen, Madam Lan would definitely pursue the matter to the end. When that happened, even the Overseer probably wouldn't be able to stop her.
Qin Wufu knew that An Tianzuo was the most filial. If Madam Lan said one thing, even if An Tianzuo was unwilling, it was impossible for him to say otherwise.
Qin Wufu knew Madam Lan's temper. Although Madam Lan usually seemed easy to talk to, if she really touched her bottom line, she was someone who couldn't be stopped.
Lu Su was rejected by Qin Wufu, but she refused to give up. She could clearly avoid the deaths of so many soldiers, so why couldn't she use Zhou Wen? Lu Su felt that Zhou Wen wasn't a foppish scion. From her impression of Zhou Wen, she felt that he was a very gentle person who was very willing to help others. He didn't have the temper of a young master.
"Uncle Qin said no, but if Zhou Wen is willing, that's another matter." Lu Su decided to convince Zhou Wen herself.
After Lu Su left, Qin Wufu looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's really a pity for this Zhou Wen. If he hadn't been embroiled in Wang Mingyuan's matter, his future would have been limitless. Now that he's been targeted by the bureau, it's hard to say if he'll be able to grow up in the future."
Lu Su came out of Qin Wufu's office and went straight to Zhou Wen's.
Zhou Wen was reading a book when Lu Su came and explained the reason for her visit to Zhou Wen.
After Lu Su finished speaking, Zhou Wen looked at her and said, "Dr. Lu, if it were in the past, I would definitely be duty-bound, but I'm afraid I can't agree to it now."
Lu Su sighed and said, "I can understand. After all, you've been targeted by the bureau. If you have too much contact with the soldiers, it will give the bureau an opportunity to take advantage of you."
Zhou Wen shook his head. "I'm not worried about my safety, but I'm afraid that the soldiers will be implicated by me."
Lu Su didn't say anything else. She felt that Zhou Wen's words were just an excuse. No matter how powerful the bureau was, it was impossible for them to forcefully charge into a military camp to kill people. How could they endanger ordinary soldiers?
Lu Su believed that Zhou Wen had only said that to save her face.
However, Lu Su didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Wen's actions. After all, everyone only had one life. There was nothing wrong with cherishing one's life. Everyone had the right to protect themselves.
Therefore, Lu Su didn't say anything. Although she was somewhat disappointed, she decided to return and give it a try. She wanted to see if she could extract antibodies from the soldiers that Zhou Wen had treated.
Although it might take a long time, Lu Su had no other choice.
"Dr. Lu, if there's nothing important, I hope you won't come to my place in the future. If there's anything, it's best if you send me a message." Zhou Wen felt that if Lu Su came to his place frequently, she might be implicated.
A person like Jacker was best at using others' weaknesses. As long as he could achieve his goal, Zhou Wen believed that he would do anything.
"Don't worry. I won't disturb you again." Lu Su couldn't help but be completely disappointed when she heard Zhou Wen's words.
After walking out of Zhou Wen's dormitory, Lu Su prepared to return to study the antibodies. After taking a few steps, she saw a person in an officer's uniform walking over.
The officer walked with his head lowered. The brim of his hat covered most of his face, so Lu Su didn't see what he looked like. When he came close, the officer looked up.
Lu Su looked at the officer and found him somewhat odd. The officer in front of her looked to be in his thirties, and his face was somewhat pale.
It wasn't rare to see officers in their thirties in the Sunset Army, but this officer clearly looked like someone from the West District. He was very different from the people from the East District. Although the Sunset Army also had officers from the West District, there weren't many of them. Lu Su should know all of them, but she had never seen this officer before.
Just as she was about to ask, the officer raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder. Lu Su wanted to dodge, but her body didn't listen to her. The hand still pressed on her shoulder, and she immediately felt her body stiffen. She couldn't move. She opened her mouth, but she couldn't even make a sound.
The officer smiled at Lu Su and asked elegantly, "You came out of Zhou Wen's room just now, right?"
