Chapter 540 Fear and Regret



Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong chuckled, completely ignoring Shen Yanming's words.

Only after they had finished laughing did Zhang Heping say, "Let's see if you dare to show off again!"

Shen Yanming was also aggrieved. He said, "I had no choice. If I didn't intervene, would I just watch them kill me?"

Zhang Heping was unaware of the details, so he couldn't respond.

But Ji Kangyong said, "You made a move, and they didn't kill each other, but they tried to kill you. Do you know that if it weren't for your good luck and Chen Shunwei's help, you would have been a victim of that knife long ago!"

After seeing Shen Yanming's injuries with his own eyes, Zhang Heping felt that they were quite serious, but not life-threatening.

But after hearing what Ji Kangyong said, he realized that his friend was able to speak and move now, and he didn't know how much good luck he had to escape this calamity.

Shen Yanming was also frightened, so he didn't dare to talk back at all.

Chi Kangyong continued, "It's not that I don't want your help, but you should at least make sure you're safe before you lend a hand!"

You're telling me that those thugs, each armed with weapons, dared to rush in? Do you think you can take on everyone just because you've only practiced martial arts for a month?

Don't be resentful. If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. You got hurt not because you were a hero, but because you lacked the ability and didn't recognize your own limitations.

Shen Yanming nodded and said, "You're right. I didn't really assess whether my fighting skills matched the chaos on the scene."

At that moment, I was only thinking about helping them, otherwise they would cause a fatality. But when they pointed their sickles at me, I regretted it.

I have a wife and children to support; why should I be the one to foot the bill when they cause trouble? A whole bunch of people were watching; why was I the only one who ended up getting stabbed?

Shen Yanming spoke calmly, seemingly without a trace of anger, but Ji Kangyong understood him.

Because they often encounter similar situations when responding to calls. Many times, they can only swallow their grievances, because that's their job.

But when you receive gratitude from the masses, the sense of accomplishment is just right.

Zhang Heping also fell silent. Although he wasn't there, he could sense the harrowing experience from Ji Kangyong's few words.

He was also wondering why, with so many people present, no one stepped forward to help Shen Yanming. If someone had intervened, Old Shen probably wouldn't have been injured so badly.

What he didn't know was that many people there had the same desire, but lacked the ability. The sight of the blade, still gleaming in the moonlight, made them chicken out!

Sigh, never mind, never mind. They also assessed their own strength before choosing to protect themselves.

Seeing that Shen Yanming's injuries had been treated, Zhang Heping said, "You guys wait here, I'll go to the dormitory to get some clothes for Lao Shen to change into."

"No, my wife will definitely get me a change of clothes," Shen Yanming stopped him.

Zhang Heping was taken aback, and looked at the two of them, saying, "Qiao An knows?"

Shen Yanming was also taken aback and asked, "You didn't tell Qiao An?"

Ji Kangyong watched the two staring at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Heping felt a little guilty, but when he heard Shen Yanming confess without being asked, he decided not to admit that he had tipped off Shen Yanming.

He had initially intended to slip away after hearing Lao Shen's instructions and realizing he had caused trouble. However, after returning to his office after the performance, he remained uneasy.

Sigh, I always feel guilty if I don't see my buddy tending to his wounds.

Zhang Heping kept convincing himself: "I did nothing wrong, I did a good thing, otherwise if something happened to Yanming, Qiao An would definitely be devastated."

After repeating this process many times, he finally suppressed his unease and returned to the hospital entrance to wait for the two to arrive.

At this moment, Zhang Heping was still feeling guilty, but extremely relieved that he had made it through. His normal performance was enough to fool Old Shen. He believed Qiao An wouldn't expose him.

Shen Yanming was probably distracted by his own wounds and his mind wasn't working properly, so he didn't notice the loopholes in their conversation.

She was secretly annoyed at herself for speaking too quickly. She hadn't even figured anything out before she imagined Qiao An being terrified and then confessed everything.

He glared at Ji Kangyong, who was still chuckling, then lay helplessly on the hospital bed, waiting for Qiao An to arrive.

"Oh right, I also need to break through the Changfeng Pass," Shen Yanming said, remembering something.

Upon hearing this, Ji Kangyong's mind flashed back to those sickle blades covered in mud, rust, plant sap, and debris. He shuddered and then told Zhang Heping about the situation.

Zhang Heping pointed at Shen Yanming, at a loss for words. He really wanted to slap him twice.

"Go ahead and do whatever you want, go ahead and do whatever you want!" Zhang Heping muttered, but his steps didn't stop as he went to find Old Shen's attending physician.

But the attending physician didn't need their reminders; he had already instructed the nurse to write the prescription and pick up the medication. It was just that Zhang Heping's concern clouded his judgment.

After the tetanus shots were administered, everyone fell silent, counting down the time until Qiao An arrived.

"I wonder when Qiao An will be able to come over. Where am I going to get a taxi in the middle of the night?" Zhang Heping said worriedly.

He had been to the guard post and knew that it was in a remote area where it was difficult to hail a taxi even during the day, let alone at night.

Thinking about this, he began to regret informing Bi Qiaoan.

Why did I act on a whim without considering the actual situation? No wonder Lao Shen and Lao Ji always say I'm a bit slow.

Shen Yanming was also a little worried, but he calmly said, "My wife is so clever, she will definitely think of a way."

Ji Kangyong paused for a moment, then said, "Right now, I'm only worried about what will happen to your two little ones. Are you going to bring Qiao An over with them?"

Although he didn't mind the hospital, most of the patients and doctors he saw had abscesses.

Ji Kangyong gestured with his eyes, "The adults can manage, but what about the two little ones? If they get infected, see how you'll cry!"

Shen Yanming wasn't too worried about this.

Not to mention that his family has a spiritual spring that can cure impetigo, Qiao An isn't an unreliable person; she would definitely have settled the two little ones before coming over.

Most likely, they'll be placed in mobile villas.

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "How could my wife not take good care of our son and daughter? Don't worry, Qiao An will definitely handle it perfectly. Besides, I reminded her to take precautions, you heard me."

Ji Kangyong nodded, "I hope so, otherwise, sigh!"

Ji Kangyong sighed deeply.

During this time, although he had accepted the fact that he had developed pustules on his face, he still often felt powerless and frustrated because of the pustules on his face.
