Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Not Sure Whether to Laugh or Cry

"..."

Shen Mianmian was somewhat impressed by the doctor’s eloquence and observational skills, but wasn’t that a bit too far-fetched and exaggerated?

There were incidents of human trafficking, but He Nan was not the perpetrator!

He Nan was a man of integrity, it was clear he wasn’t a bad person.

After listening to the doctor, the two police officers also noticed the injury on Shen Mianmian’s neck, and when they looked at He Nan again, they immediately became guarded, as if preventing him from launching an attack.

One of them even interrogated directly, "Do you have your ID card? Where are you from? What is your relationship with her?"

Another said, "Let’s just take him back to the police station for questioning."

This man seemed like no simple character, and with so many people in the hospital, they didn’t want any trouble that could harm others.

After all, their police station was very close, just across the street.

Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, just as she was about to prove He Nan’s innocence, she saw him take out a green identification document from his pocket and hand it to the police.

The two officers looked at He Nan doubtfully, then took the document and their expressions changed abruptly.

They immediately explained, "Sorry comrade, we were unaware of your status and were only performing our duty in checking, in case there truly was a case of trafficking women and children."

After all, such incidents were indeed numerous.

But, very few people were willing to report such crimes, resulting in many trafficking cases each year that were hard to solve.

"It’s fine."

He Nan put the document back into his pocket.

The doctor was bewildered by the series of events, "Comrade police officer, what’s going on?"

The police officer explained, "It was a misunderstanding, this comrade is a good person; you just focus on treating this young lady’s injuries."

With a status like He Nan’s, they were supposed to help keep it confidential.

After saying goodbye to He Nan, the two officers left the examination room.

The room was now left with the three of them, and the doctor’s face showed a fascinating mix of embarrassment and fear. Fortunately, He Nan didn’t make a fuss about anything else, and the doctor sat down again to reexamine Shen Mianmian’s injury.

He prescribed some topical and oral medications.

Even as the two of them left the examination room, the doctor’s eyes still held a strange look. This pair was too odd, something was definitely off, but since the police had said he was a good person, the doctor couldn’t further pursue it.

Back in the car, He Nan had Shen Mianmian take the medicine with some hot water from a cup, then she used the mirror in the car to apply medicine to her neck, but it was painful to raise her chin.

She winced with pain and made a ’tsk’ sound, He Nan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he took the ointment from her hand, "Come here."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

Applying the medicine herself was indeed troublesome; after all, in He Nan’s eyes, she was just a kid, so she didn’t make a fuss and leaned her neck toward him.

The medicine was somewhat cool, and his calloused fingertips made it a bit ticklish when applied.

Speaking of which, it was strange; he wasn’t in the army anymore and seemed to be doing business in the city, not doing any heavy labor, yet his hands...

Seeing her brows sometimes furrow, He Nan thought the calluses on his hand had scraped her and thus lightened his touch even more.

The young girl’s skin was indeed more delicate than a man’s, as touching it felt like tofu, even making his fingertips tingle.

Shen Mianmian was distracted and didn’t feel shy; by the time she came back to her senses, He Nan had already finished applying the medication and handed her the ointment, then started the car and left the hospital.

There was no air conditioning in the car; after sitting for a while, her hands felt cold, so she tucked them into her pocket, only to touch a small packet of medicine.

Her gaze flickered, "He Nan, can we go back to the hospital for a moment?"
