Min Nan suddenly relt tnat ms worcls nugnt nave sounaecl a Dit suggestive, so he quickly added an explanation, “Now that you’re here in our village, you’re like one of us. Helping you is like helping our own family. And besides, I’m a police officer. Serving the people is part of my duty.”

Talking about being a police officer made Min Nan feel a bit uneasy. He realized that one lie often leads to more lies. While he didn’t want to deceive Ye Ling, he also couldn’t reveal the truth to her at this moment, so he had to continue down this path of deception.

Though police officers and soldiers have different roles, their fundamental purpose is to serve the people. At least, this point wasn’t a fabrication.

Min Nan consoled himself with this thought.

Upon hearing Min Nan’s explanation, Ye Ling felt a sense of admiration and relief. She looked at Min Nan with a hint of respect in her eyes and said, “Big Brother Min Nan, thank you so much. You’re truly the best police officer I’ve ever known!”

Seeing the admiration and gratitude in the young girl’s eyes, Min Nan felt uncomfortable.

Just a while ago, he had experienced an inappropriate reaction because of Ye Ling, but she had no idea about his true intentions. She believed him to be a righteous police officer… Min Nan felt an overwhelming sense of shame. His skin seemed to prickle and heat up as it touched the bedsheet.

Ye Ling then asked about his poisoning and injuries, which made Min Nan fall silent. He didn’t know how to explain it to her. After a few seconds, he forced out a stiff response, “I’m sorry, but it’s not convenient for me to tell you about that.”

Ye Ling blinked her bright eyes, suddenly realizing.

Min Nan was a police officer, often on missions where injuries were possible. As for the poisoning, it was likely due to someone trying to harm him!

This thought made Ye Ling even more remorseful. Min Nan had been injured while helping her, and she had to remember this. She looked at Min Nan with concern and asked, “Big Brother Min Nan if you fought with Wang Gang, will he try to get revenge?”

Before Min Nan could answer, footsteps sounded outside the door. Li Bin walked in, visibly relieved to see Min Nan awake. He then turned his gaze to Ye Ling and admired her. “Sister Ye Ling, I never knew you had such amazing medical skills.”

Every time Min Nan saw Li Bin, he felt anger rising within him. He wished he could pin Li Bin to the ground and give him a beating. How could that guy let Ye Ling undress him?

However, Li Bin was unaware of Min Nan’s resentment towards him. He placed the things in his hands on the table. Ye Ling saw Li Bin bring clean clothes and handed them to Min Nan, saying, “Big Brother Min Nan, when you’re feeling better, please change into these clothes. I’ll leave for now.”

With that, Ye Ling hurriedly exited without looking back, fearing Min Nan might recall the incident of her undressing him.

Li Bin’s response was a bit delayed. He looked at Min Nan, who was shirtless, and only understood after a few seconds. “Min Nan, your clothes…” 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕

Li Bin’s eyes widened, and he covered his mouth in realization. He had already seen the murderous look in Min Nan’s eyes. He instantly regretted bringing up the embarrassing matter.

Min Nan coldly glared at Li Bin. “Do you want me to escort you out?”

Li Bin hastily shook his head. “No need, no need. You can change first. We can talk about other matters later.”

After Min Nan changed into clean clothes, Ye Ling and Li Bin reentered the room. Li Bin saw that Min Nan’s injuries had improved, and he had regained some color on his face. Li Bin then said, “Sister Ye Ling, when I went to Auntie Sun’s house to get clothes, she heard about your situation. She’s inviting you for dinner tonight and suggests you stay at her place for a few days.”

Ye Ling hesitated for a moment. Her initial reaction was to decline, but Li Bin seemed to anticipate her thoughts. He continued, “Here’s the situation, when you were helping Min Nan, I reported today’s events to the village committee. However, many people on the committee have close ties with Wang Gang.

There are also some vested interests involved, but I won’t go into details. In short, this matter might not be resolved in the end.”

Ye Ling was taken aback by the extent of Wang Gang’s influence.. She suppressed her unease and turned to Min Nan, asking with concern, “Big Brother Min Nan, if you confronted Wang Gang, will he try to retaliate?”
