Chapter 357 Secret
Long Yu nodded in understanding and gently wiped the sweat from Yao Ran's forehead. Coming out of the tent, Chen Zizhen approached them, coughing awkwardly as he watched their public display of affection. Hearing his slight cough, Yao Ran and Long Yu turned around.
"Are there other patients who need treatment?" Yao Ran asked as Chen Zizhen approached them.
Chen Zizhen replied, "Some members are sick, but it's not serious."
Hearing this, Yao Ran frowned slightly and said, "Even a simple cold can kill people nowadays. Why don't you bring them all here? I will take a look at their conditions. It's better to be cautious than to wait until their illness worsens."
Chen Zizhen's eyes lit up at her suggestion, but he held back his excitement and asked, "Miss Yao, wouldn't that cost you too much medicine?"
Yao Ran, sensing his concern, replied calmly, "I have enough medicine for everyone. Also, since you have agreed to join my team, you and your companions are now part of us. Helping you is also helping our team grow stronger."
Seeing that he still hesitated, Yao Ran added, "If you find it hard to accept the medicine without paying, just make sure to work harder in the future."
Chen Zizhen lowered his eyes and seriously considered her words. He couldn't simply stand by and let his companions suffer or die from illness, but he also felt uneasy accepting such help without giving anything in return.
After a moment of thought, he finally said, "Then I will trouble you to check on them."
"Mhm," Yao Ran acknowledged with a nod.
After making the decision, Chen Zizhen went to call the patients. Soon, he returned with a group of people. Judging from their sunken cheeks, pale complexions, yellowed eyes, and frail bodies, Yao Ran could tell their conditions were far more severe than Chen Zizhen had told her.
Looking at him, Yao Ran said, "Please prepare a place for me."
"Sure," Chen Zizhen replied before leaving to fetch a table and chairs.
Chen Zizhen agreed and said, "Alright."
After finishing what she came for, Yao Ran held Long Yu's hand and said to Chen Zizhen, "If there is nothing else, we will head back now."
Chen Zizhen escorted them out and said, "Miss Yao, I need to stay here to arrange care for the patients. My brothers will accompany you to collect the supplies."
"Sure," Yao Ran agreed.
After their discussion, Yao Ran left with Long Yu and a few of Chen Zizhen's men while he focused on arranging places for the patients to stay and assigning people to help with cooking.
Meanwhile, Wu Yehao and his subordinates had been waiting for hours. When he saw Yao Ran exit the makeshift infirmary, he pressed the earpiece in his left ear and said, "Get ready."
A second later, his subordinates responded, "Roger that."
As Yao Ran and Long Yu left the slum, Wu Yehao appeared before them. Before he could introduce himself, Long Yu drew his military dagger, activated his wind element ability to enhance his speed, and charged at Wu Yehao.
Sensing the incoming danger, Wu Yehao flipped backward, narrowly avoiding the dagger's sharp edge. The moment his feet touched the ground, four thick vines, as wide as two fingers, shot toward him.
Before the vines could pierce his body, Wu Yehao leaped into the air.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Crack!
Looking down, Wu Yehao saw the vines embedded in the ground.
