Li Bin revealed a relaxed smile. “Of course not. Min Nan is…”
Just as Li Bin was about to mention that Min Nan was a formally enlisted soldier and that Wang Gang wouldn’t dare to provoke him, he stopped himself.
Not to mention Min Nan’s identity, but also the fact that Min Nan’s father held a certain position.
In short, there wasn’t a single person in the Min family that Wang Gang could afford to offend. Wang Gang might not have known who Min Nan was before, but he could easily find out. And if it came down to a show of strength, there were individuals tougher than Wang Gang who could handle him!
Before Li Bin could continue, Min Nan slapped him on the shoulder and turned to Ye Ling, saying, “I’m a police officer. Wang Gang won’t dare to retaliate against me. You can rest assured.”
Li Bin’s shoulder almost felt like it was about to shatter under Min Nan’s forceful slap. He looked at Min Nan with wide eyes, his expression full of confusion, when did Min Nan become a police officer?
Although he was puzzled, Li Bin didn’t dare to ask further. Seeing Ye Ling visibly relax, Li Bin went on, “Min Nan is fine, but the same might not be true for you. You’re a young woman without the means to protect yourself. Neither Min Nan nor I can be by your side all the time. If Wang Gang remains persistent, your situation could be dangerous.”
After Li Bin spoke, Ye Ling’s face turned paler.
Min Nan furrowed his brow and shot Li Bin a sharp glance. “Don’t scare her!”
Li Bin shrunk back under Min Nan’s gaze, trying to explain, “I’m just analyzing! But Ye Ling, don’t worry. As long as you stay with Auntie Sun, Wang Gang won’t dare to touch you. Don’t let Auntie Sun’s appearance fool you, she’s got a combat strength surpassing many men. A while back, two strong thieves broke into Auntie Sun’s house at night and she beat them up so badly they ended up battered and bruised. Moreover, Auntie Sun is a relative of a martyr. If Wang Gang dares to offend the family of a martyr, no matter how influential he is, nobody will be able to protect him!”
At this point, Ye Ling understood why Li Bin suggested she stay at Auntie Sun’s place. It also surprised her to learn that Auntie Sun was related to a martyr.
Seeing Ye Ling’s silence, Li Bin asked tentatively, “Sister Ye Ling, what do you think? If you’re fine with it, pack your things and come with Min Nan and me to Auntie Sun’s place. When I left Auntie Sun’s place, I saw her preparing minced meat. She’s planning to make something delicious for you.”
Upon hearing Li Bin’s words, Ye Ling felt the warmth of being cared for. Even though she had been through a rebirth, she still had the misfortune to encounter, but she had also encountered many kind-hearted people.
In her past life, Ye Ling barely had anyone close to her, so after her rebirth, she always hesitated to trouble others
Now it seemed that she should change her way of thinking. Since everyone was treating her well, she might as well accept it. Later, when they encountered difficulties, she could help them in return. After all, she now had a small world and was gradually inheriting the remarkable medical skills of the Ye family. This gave her some confidence and standing.
With this in mind, Ye Ling no longer hesitated. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll pack my things. ”
Ye Ling also considered that if she refused Auntie Sun’s kindness now when she encountered Wang Gang again, she might end up helpless. At that point, she might have to trouble Li Bin and Min Nan again. Instead of reaching that stage, it was better to heed Li Bin’s advice, which would help her avoid further complications.
Hearing Ye Ling’s agreement, Li Bin’s eyes lit up. He involuntarily glanced at
Min Nan. Li Bin had expected Min Nan to be pleased by the news that Ye Ling was coming to stay at Auntie Sun’s, but Min Nan’s expression remained calm.
He was acting! After all, with the extent of the injuries he suffered for her, how could he remain so calm now? Li Bin mentally scoffed.
Li Bin and Min Nan walked to the door to wait for Ye Ling.
Soon enough, Ye Ling finished packing her things, and the three of them headed to Auntie Sun’s house.
The rain had stopped outside. The road, washed by the rain, was now challenging to traverse. Min Nan and Li Bin took care to assist Ye Ling and slowed their pace.
After a few minutes of walking, Li Bin remembered something and said, “By the way, Sister Ye Ling, Min Nan was in your dorm for a while today. Although I’ve spread the word that you were only treating his injuries, rumors may still circulate. If you happen to hear anything, don’t let it bother you.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling felt her ears burn. Then she shook her head and replied, “Why would I mind? Big Brother Min Nan got injured helping me.
What’s a little gossip? As long as Big Brother Min Nan and I know the truth, I’m not concerned about what others say.”
Min Nan fell silent upon hearing Ye Ling’s earnest words.
Indeed, he was not afraid of what others would say, but…His thoughts about her were not pure..
