"By the way, why didn't any of those brats come to my trial?"
Qin Nan suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked indignantly.
During the trial, apart from Wang Qian and a few friends, none of his former underlings appeared in court.
Is this what they mean by "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter"?
"Why do you think none of them came?" Wang Qian asked with a half-smile.
Qin Nan was taken aback at first, but after exchanging a glance with Wang Qian for a moment, he instantly understood. "You're the one who told them not to come, right?"
Of the group of followers who had previously followed him, most of them had ulterior motives, but there was still a group who were loyal and devoted to him.
It's impossible for everyone, especially those who work for Wang Qian in the transportation department, to remain indifferent.
The fact that none of them showed up must be Wang Qian's doing.
"Alright, let's go!"
Wang Qian grabbed Qin Nan's shoulder and said, "I heard you were injured, let me help you..."
"ah!"
Before Wang Qian could finish speaking, Qin Nan let out a scream.
Wang Qian was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
"I was shot in this arm," Qin Nan said, enduring the pain.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention!"
Wang Qian gave an awkward smile and hurriedly went around to the other side to support Qin Nan's other arm.
"No need to help me up!"
Qin Nan waved his hand, "My arm is injured, not my leg, so I don't need anyone to help me."
"All right!"
Seeing that Qin Nan insisted, Wang Qian did not force him.
"Hey, over here!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, a voice came from the road not far away.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a car parked nearby, and someone inside the driver's seat was waving at them.
"Chen Yong?"
Wang Qian recognized him instantly.
It was the young man who had previously infiltrated Scarface's side under the alias Tao Yu.
He later learned that the other person's real name was Chen Yong.
What is he doing here?
Qin Nan frowned slightly and hurriedly walked to the other side.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Chen Yong, who was in the driver's seat, shouted and hurriedly got out of the car to chase after them.
"Of course I'm going home!"
Qin Nan said, annoyed, "Why did you come looking for me out of the blue?"
"Of course I'll take you home!"
Chen Yong stood in front of Qin Nan and pointed to his car parked by the roadside. "You are my savior. If I don't show any gratitude, I would be ungrateful."
"But you're a police officer!"
Qin Nan looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "I'm a criminal. If you contact me privately, it will probably have a negative impact on your reputation."
So that's why you turned around and ran away!
As he felt relieved, a touch of emotion also appeared on Chen Yong's face.
If it were someone carefree who could maintain a close relationship with the police, they would absolutely be thrilled.
But Qin Nan, in order not to damage his reputation, took the initiative to distance himself from him.
This shows how kind-hearted this former neighborhood leader was.
"You should leave now. I can take a taxi home by myself. You don't need to see me off. And don't come looking for me again!"
Qin Nan waved his hand as if shooing away flies, and solemnly reminded him, "Don't forget, I'm still a convict and need to be under house arrest; I'm serving my sentence."
He paused, then added, "As for me saving you, you've already reported it to the police and gotten my sentence reduced, which is a way of repaying me. So you don't need to worry about it at all."
You're overthinking it!
Chen Yong shook his head and insisted, "First of all, we police officers are also flesh and blood, with conscience and feelings. You saved my life, and if I do nothing, I would be ungrateful!"
"Secondly, I know what I should and shouldn't do. Just because I'm taking you home doesn't mean I'll do anything illegal or disorderly just because you're my savior."
"Third, and most importantly..."
Chen Yong took a deep breath, staring intently at Qin Nan, and said, "I came to take you home with my superiors' approval!"
"You can do that?"
Not only Qin Nan, but Wang Qian and the others also looked at each other in bewilderment.
If you get approval from your superiors, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
As long as they don't let Chen Yong do anything outrageous behind their backs, they can still be ordinary friends.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Qin Nan cannot repeat the same mistake in the future; otherwise, even if the superiors approve it, it will definitely have a negative impact on Chen Yong's work.
"Let's go, with me as the driver, there will be five seats!"
As they were talking, Chen Yong forcibly pulled Qin Nan into the car.
Qin Nan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Wang Qian nod slightly, he reluctantly agreed.
"By the way, Qin Nan, where do you live?"
After starting the car, Chen Yong asked.
"My home..."
Qin Nan was instantly speechless, and a deep sorrow flashed across his rugged, square face.
Everyone has a home, except him!
He lost both his parents at a young age and had only one younger brother to rely on.
Because he was only fourteen years old at the time, he had to beg from his neighbors to find food.
To show his sincerity, he would almost always kneel at his neighbor's door, saying that he would repay double in the future, or that he would remember it in his heart, and so on.
But his begging was met with either ridicule and disdain, or a barrage of harsh words.
Seeing that his eight-year-old younger brother, Xiao Jie, was about to starve to death, he had no choice but to harden his heart and do some petty theft.
