There was some distance between them.
Fu Mengyu and the rest did not see the color of the water that Zhou Yuan had drunk.
Even if someone saw it, no one would care.
After all, even if the water was completely black, as long as a small amount splashed in the air, it would still be transparent.
Therefore, everyone thought that Zhou Yuan had drunk the contaminated water from the lake.
Fu Mengyu said sarcastically,
"Zhou Yuan, are you attempting suicide?"
"Actually, even though you slapped me, I didn't want to fight with you or anything like that."
"As long as you apologize and hand over the seeds and the technique to induce the growth of the seed, everything will be fine!"
"Everyone is happy!"
"Even if you are not willing to hand them over."
"All we will do is beat you up and snatch your stuff."
"I actually didn't want you to die."
"But now, sigh, why are you drinking that lake water? It's so dirty!"
Fu Mengyu's words seemed to be a stark contrast to her own expression.
From her words, it seemed like she wanted to reconcile with Zhou Yuan.
However, her expression was filled with gloating.
Although she said that she didn't want Zhou Yuan to die, she was actually hoping that Zhou Yuan would die as soon as possible.
The other bosses also chimed in.
"Zhou Yuan, are you trying to prove that the water you're selling is drinkable? Where did you come from? Why is your brain so strange? Are you trying to make me laugh to death with your joke?"
"Zhou Yuan, you're actually a talent! Why hurt your own body? I originally wanted to give you a job that could support you, but now it seems that there's no need. If you drink the lake water directly, you'll become a sick ghost soon!"
"He deserves it. Why is he acting tough for no reason? In the end, he was so scared that he lost his mind. He wanted to sell contaminated water and took the initiative to drink contaminated water."
"They're really a pair of idiots. Look at Zhang He, who's on his side. He looks like he's seen a ghost."
"Hahaha, I guess he's also dumbfounded. He thought that he'd followed a capable man, but in the end, the man himself directly broke his trust!"
Just as everyone was ridiculing Zhou Yuan.
Only Zhang He and the rest were staring blankly at the cup that Zhou Yuan had been drinking from and the metal tube that was stuck in the black bucket.
As they were close, they could see it clearly.
The water that flowed out of the bucket was extremely clear.
It was as clear as the bottled water that Zhou Yuan had given them previously!
At that moment, the end of the metal tube was blocked by Zhou Yuan's fingers, but the water was still dripping down.
Zhang He walked forward in a daze, took the string of water beads with his hand, and then put his finger into the water.
Zhang He's eyes widened instantly.
The water didn't have a bitter or sour taste. Instead, it was a little sweet.
Although it was only a drop of water on his finger, he could taste the sweetness.
One had to know that even if one only drank a little of the lake water, it would still be very sour and smelly.
However, the water in the bucket was sweet!
Zhang He's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Could it be that the lake water that he had poured into it had now become clean drinking water?
He said in a trembling voice,
"M-Mr. Zhou, m-may I have a sip?"
Zhou Yuan passed the cup and the metal tube to him before he sat back on the sofa.
"You're the first one to follow me. Here's a cup for you."
Zhang He tried his best to block the metal pipe and prevent the water from flowing out.
Then, he slowly opened the cup and filled it with half a cup of water.
Looking at the clear water in the cup, Zhang He's face seemed to glow.
It was as if the cup was a Holy Grail, and the water was holy water.
He first took a small sip carefully, and the sweet taste instantly made his eyes widen.
Then, he poured all the water into his mouth, closed his eyes, and tasted it carefully, not willing to swallow it.
At this moment, Fu Mengyu and the others burst into laughter.
"Look at that Zhang He, he also went to drink the water like an idiot! Hahaha!"
"Hey, Zhang He, you're working too hard for your new master. Aren't you afraid that the contaminated water will poison you to death?"
"If he's willing to die, who can stop him!"
"......"
Listening to the noise around him, Zhang He, who was always extremely tactful and harmless in front of others, suddenly had the urge to kill someone for the first time.
"You clowns..."
"All of you, shut up!!!"
The first sentence was muttered by himself, but the second sentence was shouted out.
This sudden roar immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Some of the bosses had unkind expressions.
Since Zhang He dared to speak to them in such a tone, they had to teach him a lesson after dealing with Zhou Yuan.
Zhang He's face was strangely flushed.
He half-squatted on the ground, his right hand blocking the metal pipe, and his left hand pointing at Fu Mengyu and the group of bosses.
He scoffed,
"You idiots!"
"A miracle has happened before you. It's fine that you don't know anything, but you actually dare to speak so rudely!"
"Ignorance and stupidity are not enough to describe you!"
"You're saying this is contaminated water?"
Zhang He retorted, and then his tone became respectful.
"Mr. Zhou, please allow me to call you Mr. Zhou!"
"May I ask if I can show these stupid mortals your divine miracles?"
Zhou Yuan said indifferently,
"Show it. Hurry up, there's still a lot of work to do."
"Yes!" Zhang He bowed respectfully.
Then, he asked someone to bring him a glass container.
This was also one of the items on display in the library.
It was a decanter that people used to use to sober up red wine.
After Zhang He took the transparent decanter, he carefully moved his hand away and let the water flow out of the metal tube.
He used the decanter meticulously, and the expression on his face was as if he was doing something sacred.
On the other side, Fu Mengyu had already lost her patience.
When Zhang He took the decanter, she shouted,
"Stop acting mysterious!"
"Zhou Yuan, I...!!!"
Just as she was about to give her ultimatum.
She suddenly noticed the water in the decanter. It was so clear that it was as if it didn't exist!
This time, Fu Mengyu was stunned on the spot.
What was that?
Wasn't it polluted water?
Why was it so clear?
At this time, the others also discovered that the water was unusually clear, and they all revealed expressions of disbelief.
Where was the lake water?
Everyone had seen Zhang He and the others pour contaminated lake water into the lake. It had a sour smell and the color of the water was yellow.
Why did it all become clear water now?
With such clarity, one could tell that it was drinkable water!
Even if the lake water had been filtered, purified, and boiled for disinfection, it would still have a bitter taste in the end. It would not have become so clear.
However, now, even though nothing had been done to it, why did it become so clear?
A miracle?
Everyone recalled Zhang He's words.
They were shocked to the extreme.
Could it be that this was really a miracle?
If this wasn't enough to prove that it was a miracle, then...
Then what about the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and rice that had been planted continuously and sprouted overnight?
When they added all these events together, wasn't Zhou Yuan a miracle bestowed by a God?
Instantly, everyone had the urge to kneel down and worship!
