Min Nan guessed that Ma Kang had also sensed that he might not cooperate obediently and hide the matter of the mine. That was why he had that smug expression on his face when he found out that Ye Ling had secretly operated on Chen Si.

Because Ma Kang felt that he had something on Min Nan.

Min Nan finally understood why Ma Kang was looking at him with a hint of lewdness in his eyes.

He hadn’t realized what that look meant just now, but now that he thought about it, he probably thought that Ye Ling was staying at his house because they had already had sex!

Thinking of this, Min Nan’s heart sank. He hated people threatening him, but this time, he couldn’t do what he wanted to do regardless of the consequences because Ye Ling was very important to him.

Xu Lun, who was simple-minded, did not think so much. He thought that Ma Kang was making things difficult for Ye Ling purely because Ma Kang liked to be cheap. After all, in his opinion, Ma Kang was a rigid person with many rules. He hated it when others did not obey his will. He and Ye Ling had privately operated on Chen Si, which had already violated Ma Kang’s taboos.

Seeing Min Nan and Ye Ling’s gloomy expressions, Xu Lun gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t worry. If Ma Kang insists on finding trouble with Comrade Ye, I’ll write a letter of apology and admit all my mistakes. I was the one who asked Comrade Ye for help in the first place. How can I let Comrade Ye take responsibility? Ma Kang has no conscience, but I have a conscience!”

Ye Ling was somewhat helpless. She knew that this matter had little to do with Xu Lun.

Judging from the information Ma Kang had leaked, Min Nan and his father’s identities were not ordinary. Ma Kang was afraid that Min Nan would insist on going against him, so he probably wanted to use Ye Ling to deal with Min Nan.

Ye Ling had never expected that one day, she would become someone’s leverage to threaten Min Nan.

She once again cursed the person who stole her fortune in her heart.

Ye Ling sighed and comforted Xu Lun. “Things aren’t that bad yet, Doctor Xu, you don’t have to worry so much for the time being. Just work hard at the clinic. The other workers’ injuries are also very serious, and they still need you to continue with the follow-up treatment. Ma Kang won’t do anything to you for the time being.”

“Big Brother Min Nan, let’s go home first, ” Ye Ling said to Min Nan after comforting Xu Lun.

Min Nan nodded. The two of them bid Xu Lun farewell and left the clinic. They walked home along the flat road.

On the way, Ye Ling was conflicted about whether she should ask Min Nan why he had lied to her. However, she suddenly remembered that she was also hiding a lot of things from Min Nan.

The matter of the small world, the matter of going to the black market…

Ye Ling suddenly realized that everyone had their little secrets, and as long as they didn’t hurt others, there was no need to reveal them.

She couldn’t even tell others about her affairs, so why did she have to worry about Min Nan not telling her the truth?

Could it be that Min Nan’s act of concealing his identity had hurt her? No, not at all. Instead, Min Nan used his identity as a police officer to help her a lot.

Perhaps it was because Min Nan was on a special mission… Ye Ling knew that she was trying to find an excuse for Min Nan, but she felt much more relaxed when she thought about it.

Min Nan still didn’t know that Ye Ling already knew that he wasn’t a police officer. Seeing that Ye Ling kept silent, he thought that Ye Ling was worried that Ma Kang would hold her accountable.

“Then don’t write a self-reflection. If you do, you’ll leave behind written evidence, ” Min Nan said.

Ye Ling came back to her senses and nodded. “It’s fine. I didn’t plan to write it anyway.”

To write a self-reflection letter for someone like Ma Kang? How was this possible?

Would Ma Kang let her off so easily after she wrote a self-reflection?

“Although you hadn’t obtained your medical license yet, you had already passed the pharmacy administrator’s exam.

He seriously thought about how to prevent them from being threatened by Ma Kang, but he couldn’t think of a good way.

He wasn’t afraid of Ma Kang at all, but Ye Ling was different. Ye Ling had no power and was just a weak young girl. Moreover, Ye Ling was an educated youth. If she had been sent back, not only would her experience of helping the countryside have become entirely useless, but her life would have also left a disgraceful mark. It would have greatly affected her future job search in the city.

“It’s okay, Big Brother Min Nan. You don’t have to worry about me. You can do whatever you want to do. I believe that what you are doing is right. I don’t want to be a reason for others to threaten you.” Ye Ling raised her head and gave Min Nan a gentle and calm smile..
