After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan understood his thoughts, smiled, patted his arm, and said, "Both are fine, Comrade Shen is always fair and won't favor one over the other. If all else fails, I'll take the liberty of giving you his facekini!"

Ji Kangyong politely replied, "How could I possibly accept that?"

Before Bi Qiaoan and Shen Yanming could respond, he continued, "Let's include the sunglasses and gloves too!"

The group rarely saw Lao Ji in such a lively state, and they couldn't help but chuckle. The upturned corners of his lips made Ji Kangyong a little embarrassed.

Zhang Heping noticed his discomfort and smiled, changing the subject. He then instructed Shen Yanming, "Be careful when you get home. Don't eat spicy food or anything that might aggravate the condition. Keep it clean and don't let the wound get wet. When it comes to changing dressings and removing stitches..."

Zhang Heping thought for a moment before saying, "Don't come to the hospital. I'll visit you at the security team when I have time!"

He said this because he was worried about the complicated environment of the hospital. Old Shen already had impetigo, and he didn't want his immune system to weaken and cause the wound to become infected and fester. He figured he'd just have to make the trip himself, and if necessary, he could go back in the middle of the night.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanming quickly shook his head and refused: "No need, I have a wife, she can help me change the dressing. I'll come back to remove the stitches when the wound has almost healed. You're so busy every day, you should rest in your dorm when you have time."

Shen Yanming thought that by taking the initiative to lighten the other party's burden, he would make the other party happy.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping put one hand on his hip and pointed at Shen Yanming with the other, accusing him: "You old Shen, people are trying to be kind to you, but you treat their good intentions like trash."

Do you think I'd willingly run to the guard post in the middle of the night? If I didn't value you as a friend, would I bother staying up all night to find you?

"Ha, you heartless bastard, you're just afraid I'll eat and drink your food, aren't you? Don't worry, I'll bring my own ingredients when I go!"

Shen Yanming was helpless. He wasn't worried about the other party eating him out of house and home; he wanted to secretly use the spiritual spring water! Otherwise, with so many wounds on his body, how uncomfortable would he be?

But faced with this extremely loving brother, he simply couldn't tell him the truth.

All I could do was coax you, feeling frustrated: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't mind the trouble, you can come whenever you want. I'll stay up all night to open the door for you. Not only will I open the door, but I'll also prepare a delicious midnight snack for you. Is that alright?"

Zhang Heping's scheme succeeded, and he smirked slightly before quickly letting it go. Then, feigning a pitiful expression, he said, "Well, alright then, since you begged me to come over, I'll reluctantly agree. You said you'd prepare a midnight snack!"

"Yeah, I said I won't forget." Shen Yanming rubbed his forehead, wondering when his buddy had picked up this annoying habit—turning into a whiny whiner the moment things didn't go his way. It was truly a wonder that such a grown man could be so unconcerned about his image.

When Bi Qiaoan heard them talking about late-night snacks, she realized that she had forgotten to take out the snacks she had prepared for them.

Before leaving, she took a plastic bag of snacks from the paper bag slung over her left arm and tossed it to Zhang Heping. "Here, I made these myself. Thank you for taking such good care of my husband, Lao Shen."

Zhang Heping chuckled and took the bag without even looking at what was inside, saying, "Don't be so polite, we're practically family!"

Bi Qiaoan smiled and nodded, then handed the remaining two packets to Yu Shui and Ji Kangyong: "Thank you for your hard work, otherwise this matter would have caused even more trouble today."

Ji Kangyong nodded and accepted it.

Yu Shui hesitated for a moment, but seeing that his two buddies beside him hadn't refused, he pursed his lips and accepted it. He figured if the contents were valuable, he could simply give them back in kind.

As the group approached the building entrance, just as they were about to be exposed to the sunlight, Shen Yanming stopped Bi Qiaoan, saying, "I'll go get the car so you can sit here."

Bi Qiaoan didn't object, because she was also quite intimidated by the sunny person.

Zhang Heping glanced at Shen Yanming and asked, "Are you sure you can handle this?"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes. "You're just asking for nothing. How could it not work! It's just a few cuts, it's not a big deal."

Zhang Heping ignored him, saying, "Do whatever you want, but don't come back to me if anything goes wrong."

"Pah, pah, pah, get out of here! I'll make sure my wife and I are safe and sound." Shen Yanming glared at him and said.

Zhang Heping pursed his lips, but still reminded him, "Be careful on the road, and don't try to be brave."

Shen Yanming smiled at him and said, "I know!" Then he and Yu Shui went to get the car.

After the two left, Ji Kangyong looked at Zhang Heping and said, "Stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside."

Then he successfully embarrassed someone and sent them back to the office.

So when the two cars arrived at the door, they only saw Lao Ji and Qiao An.

Shen Yanming and Yu Shui didn't think much of it, assuming Zhang Heping had gone back to work. It wasn't until Qiao An and Ji Kangyong got into the car that they realized he was just shy.

That reason is truly laughable.

Leaving aside the guy who sneaked back to his office to eat snacks, the two people standing at the door, without even discussing it, tacitly got into one of the cars.

Only after Bi Qiaoan sat in the passenger seat did she have some private time to talk to Lao Shen. She asked, "Are you really alright? And is the whole story really as you described?"

Shen Yanming nodded: "Wife, you've caught me red-handed, how could I dare to hide it! I was injured because I helped someone on Qingning Mountain. But I don't know why those villains were so ruthless."

"To be honest, this is my fault. I didn't properly assess my abilities, which put me in a difficult situation. But don't worry, once my wounds heal, I'll diligently practice martial arts. I'll try my best to take them all down before I even have a chance to fight next time I encounter a similar situation."

Bi Qiaoan was amused by him, "What kind of martial arts skills can make you knock out the whole enemy before they even make a move?"

Shen Yanming chuckled, "Poison techniques! I'll study them later and prepare ten or eight different kinds for backup. I don't believe they can all be immune to all poisons and dare to attack me like they did last night."

Bi Qiaoan corrected: "It's early morning! Besides, poison techniques don't belong to martial arts!"

"Oh, right. I just habitually call the night 'last night.' By the way, honey, where's our little baby?" Shen Yanming didn't dwell on the second half of her sentence. As far as he was concerned, it didn't matter what method was used, as long as they could win.

Hearing him ask that, Bi Qiaoan said with a hint of resentment, "I thought you wouldn't ask. We've been together for so long, and you haven't mentioned it at all."

Shen Yanming was a little embarrassed. "I... I value you more. Besides, I believe you will make the arrangements properly. And with so many people around, it wasn't convenient for us to say anything."
