Shen Yanming didn't ask anyone to help him; he found an empty ward and went in to change his clothes.

After he left, Zhang Heping, that wicked man, started excitedly telling Bi Qiaoan about how Shen Yanming almost became a eunuch.

Ji Kangyong's forehead veins throbbed, and his lips twitched repeatedly. He gave him countless winks, but the guy remained completely unmoved.

He couldn't take it anymore and coughed lightly, "Ahem!" Zhang Heping stared at him blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Kangyong rolled his eyes and decided to ignore it!

Let this idiot prisoner be wary. Let's see if Old Shen will teach him a lesson when he finds out!

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhang Heping didn't take it seriously and continued gossiping with Bi Qiaoan and Yu Shui.

Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan, though still smiling on the surface, was already seething with murderous intent inside. Moreover, it was hard to say whether this murderous intent was directed at Shen Yanming or at those villains.

Zhang Heping was so engrossed in his words that he didn't notice the anger in her eyes. Yu Shui, however, shivered and glanced over, only to be so startled by her ambiguous smile that she almost wet herself.

"Wow, so Qiao An is a tough character! I never expected this. I really can't afford to mess with her in the future!" Yu Shui thought to herself, subtly putting some distance between herself and Qiao An.

Bi Qiaoan was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice this. Ji Kangyong, on the other hand, gave Yu Shui a meaningful look.

Yu Shui sensed it, and when he looked up, his eyes met Ji Kangyong's. He gave an awkward smile, a hint of ingratiation in it.

Ji Kangyong smiled and shook his head, mouthing, "It's nothing, she's just angry, she's holding a grudge."

Yu Shui nodded, indicating that she understood. At the same time, she felt that her subconscious distancing herself from Qiao An earlier was indeed a bit unfair.

If it were me, I'd probably be filled with murderous intent and rage even towards the murderer who harmed my loved ones. Besides, as a friend, Qiao An has never lost her temper with them, and she and Lao Shen have always helped each other.

So, what I just did was really wrong!

However, being shocked is understandable, right?

Sigh, it's all his fault for being too timid!

Zhang Heping was completely unaware that his two audience members were seriously distracted. He was rambling on when he turned his head and saw a fierce-looking face, then instantly fell silent.

"Cough, cough! Old Shen, what are you doing here! Heh, heh heh!" Yu Shui was so startled by this sudden turn of events that he choked on his saliva.

He was coughing and feeling guilty, his whole body was flushed red from head to toe, as if he were on fire.

Shen Yanming gave him a cold look. "Is the matter of the eunuchs something you can't get over?"

Although the voice was calm and even, it sounded authoritative and even carried a hint of threat.

Zhang Heping felt cold sweat seeping through his body, and he hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "No, no, that's not true! I, I was just afraid that Qiao An wouldn't know what those bad guys had done, so I was explaining it to her here."

"Is there anything I can't tell her myself?" Shen Yanming asked.

Zhang Heping...

Not knowing what to do, she forced a smile, on the verge of tears, and grabbed Shen Yanming's sleeve, saying with teary eyes, "Old Shen, I was wrong. I'll never talk about you again. Please forgive me this time, for all the years I've worked so hard for you."

Shen Yanming felt a pain in his eye, so he turned his head to the side and took the opportunity to pry open Zhang Heping's fingers.

His injury had been treated, but the pain wouldn't go away anytime soon. So his knuckles were weak and feeble, and Zhang Heping was still pulling on them for a long time.

Bi Qiaoan, Yu Shui, and Ji Kangyong simply watched the show from the sidelines, offering no assistance whatsoever. Finally, Shen Yanming, finding the whining too embarrassing, coldly said, "Don't do it again!"

Zhang Heping immediately stopped crying and smiled, saying, "Okay, okay, I promise!"

Shen Yanming didn't believe him at all and went straight to check his pulse. "If he does it again, the snacks will be cut off!"

Zhang Heping...

I feel so bad for my baby. It's just that she was a little cheeky, why make such a big deal out of it? But my baby is a tough one, she can be flexible for the sake of snacks!

So he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Old Ji will supervise!"

Yu Shui stood aside, chuckling, not understanding what "temporary work stoppage" meant at all, but that didn't stop him from watching the show.

Only when Shen Yanming noticed him did he raise his right hand sheepishly and say, "Don't worry, I'll forget everything about today once I leave the house!"

Shen Yanming nodded, without saying anything to warn him.

Although he was very familiar with Yu Shui, he still lacked a certain something compared to Zhang Heping and the others.

He was a colleague, or rather, a former colleague.

Often, we can help each other, but we can't truly connect. This is probably why relationships between adults are always mixed with some degree of self-interest.

However, Shen Yanming was still very grateful to him for taking Qiao An to the hospital. He said, "Thank you for your help tonight. I'll treat you to dinner when we get back!"

Yu Shui smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be so polite, it's all just what I should do! Besides, you're a great hero today, so it's an honor for me to do what I can for the family of a hero!"

Despite the compliments, Shen Yanming felt no joy. He felt rather ironic.

He appears to be a great hero, but is actually a coward and a complete idiot.

If such an accident were to happen again, he might not necessarily step forward.

So he shook his head and said, "Please don't call me that, and don't say that. I can't accept it; it feels like it's bringing bad luck! Let's leave it at that, and neither of us will mention it again, okay?"

Yu Shui didn't know why Shen Yanming made this decision, but he still obeyed out of habit. He nodded: "Oh, I understand."

However, seeing the approving expressions on Ji Kangyong and Bi Qiaoan's faces, Yu Shui still asked the question that had been on her mind: "This act of bravery should be rewarded. Are you really willing to accept neither fame nor fortune?"

Shen Yanming smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Do you really think fame and fortune are so easy to obtain? I'm just an ordinary person. I only acted out of necessity. Actually, I'm a complete coward. I was afraid that one day I'd be lying in a hospital and there would be no way to save me."

So, let's just let this go. I'd rather be a couch potato!

Yu Shui thought it made sense, so she stopped worrying about it.

But will things really develop as Shen Yanming imagines? It's obviously impossible!

Before he even returned to the guard team, the police had already retrieved his file and reported the matter to the Hai City Guard Team.

When the guard team leaders received the call from the police station in the middle of the night, they were completely bewildered. After hearing the whole story, they were even more shocked.
