Chapter 575


    “Nan Chen?” Even the guy felt something was amiss.


    “Look, bro! He really does look like Nan Chen!” the girl said while handing the phone over to the guy.


    After taking a closer look at the picture and at Nan Xing, the guy nodded his head in agreement.


    A gleeful smile formed on Nan Xing''s face when he saw that.


    Ha! I guess looking like Nan Chen does have its perks, after all! I bet these two are going to apologize


    on their knees now that they realize who they tied up, huh? Well, I''m not a mean person, so I''ll allow


    them to forgo the kneeling. All they have to do is get me a fresh change of clothes and get me a ride to


    the hospital!


    With that in mind, Nan Xing said in a magnanimous tone, “It''s all right! After all, the ignorant are not to


    me for their mistakes. I have forgiven you both.”


    To his surprise, the young man simply shouted back at him, “Shut up! Do you think you can go around


    conning others just because you look like Nan Chen? First, you rob, then you steal, and now you''re


    trying tomit fraud too?”


    “I''m not lying! I really am Nan Xing! Nan Chen is my older brother!”


    “There''s no way someone from the Nan family would resort to stealing! Do you take me for a fool?” the


    young man asked with a look of disdain on his face.


    “I told you, didn''t I? I wasn''t trying to steal anything! I just needed to use the telephone for a bit! Why


    would I need to steal when I''m not even short of cash?” Nan Xing exined.


    The girl pointed a mop at him as she asked, “Why are you dressed like this, then?”


    “I... It''s a long story... Look, I need you to untie me right now! I''m injured, and I need to get the wound


    treated before it bes inmed!” Nan Xing shouted anxiously.


    “I''ve checked your wound. It''s just a scrape, so you''ll be fine. What, a thief like you can''t stand a few


    cuts and bruises?” the man snapped back at him.


    “What do I have to do for you two to believe me, huh? You won''t hand me over to the police, and you


    refuse to believe me either. As a matter of fact, I''m starting to question your motives for tying me up!”


    Nan Xing eximed.


    “I''ll smack you up if you don''t stop running that mouth of yours, a*shole!” the young man shouted while


    raising his hand.


    “Forget it, bro! Why bother getting so worked up over a petty thief? Let''s just hand him over to the


    police and be done with it! You may be studying in a police academy, but you aren''t a police officer yet!”


    the young girl advised him.


    Oh? So I was right! This guy really does want to be a policeman!


    With that in mind, Nan Xing said, “If you''re studying to be a police officer, then you should know


    that it is illegal for you to tie me up like this. This is uwful imprisonment!”


    The young man jabbed a finger at Nan Xing as he yelled, “Going there now, are we? You are


    trespassing on private property,mitting theft, and impersonating someone else! You''ve got some


    guts to bring up thew when you''ve broken so many of it! Do you even know anything about the legal


    justice system?”


    All right, I''m out of ideas here... This punk has me beat...


    Nan Xing let out a huge sigh and asked, “Fine, you know thew best, okay? Tell me, then. How am I


    supposed to prove that I''m not a thief?”


    “Your identity card.”


    Unfortunately, Nan Xing didn''t have it on him at the time.


    Everyone in Flower City knew who he was, so he could wine and dine anywhere he wanted without


    even bringing his wallet.


    As he never thought he would someday need to prove his identity to anyone, he never developed the


    habit of carrying any documents for identification.


    “What about your driver''s license or social security card? Do you have anything that can prove your


    identity?” the man pressed on.


    Just like with his identity card, Nan Xing didn''t bring any of those with him either. He kept his driver''s


    license in the glove box of his car so that he could present it to the traffic police when necessary, so he


    didn''t have it on him either.

    “I don''t have those either,” Nan Xing said helplessly.


    “You don''t have any form of identification on you, and you dare im to be a member of the Nan


    family? Do you really think you can do as you please just because you look like Nan Chen?” the young


    man shouted angrily.


    “I really am Nan Xing! Okay, here''s what happened. I was eating at the Xiang Jiang Restaurant across


    the street, and then some thugs barged in and threw me into this river. After swimming all the way here,


    I came in looking for a phone I could use. Since you two weren''t around at the time, I decided to just


    help myself to the telephone. The next thing I know, I got knocked unconscious and got tied up like this.


    Now, you can either hand me over to the police, or contact the Nan family directly. You can''t just keep


    me tied up like this! I''m f*cking freezing over here!”


    With the way things were going, Nan Xing had no choice but toe clean with them or they would


    never believe him.


    After all, he did look rather suspicious making a phone call by the cash register with his body


    completely drenched.


    Eventually, the young man was convinced by his story. “All right, I''ll call the police now.”


    Nan Chen was keeping Erbaopany in the ward at around nine in the evening when Qiao Zhan


    came in through the door.


    “You should get some rest. Just make sure to have two of our men stationed here,” Nan Chen told him.


    “Something has happened to Master Xing. He''s being treated in this hospital at the moment. Would you


    like to go pay him a visit?” Qiao Zhan asked.


    Nan Chen tensed up upon hearing that. “How is he now?”


    “I''m not too sure about the details. It was the police who brought him over. I only found out because I


    happened to run into him earlier,” Qiao Zhan replied.


    What? Why didn''t Nan Xing inform Qiao Zhan if he got into trouble? Heck, he could''ve contacted me


    directly too!


    “Which ward is he in?” Nan Chen asked.


    “Follow me,” Qiao Zhan said.


    “What happened to Nan Xing?” Ning Ran had overheard a bit of their conversation upon waking up.


    “I''m going to check on him. You stay here and watch over Erbao,” Nan Chen replied.


    “I want to go see Uncle Xing too!” Erbao said.


    “I''m going to check on him first. Once I have confirmed the situation, I''lle back and tell you all


    what''s going on. Until then, stay here in the ward. Do not go anywhere!” Nan Chen instructed them


    before following Qiao Zhan out of there.


    Because the two wards were in separate departments, they had to make quite a few turns before


    arriving at Nan Xing''s ward.


    They could hear his voice from outside the door before they even entered.


    “It''s really just a scrape. I''ll be fine with some medication. There''s no need for an IV drip or injections.”


    “Your wound was exposed to water, so a tetanus shot is required as a precautionary measure.”


    The person talking to him was a woman, presumably a nurse.


    “Everything has its risks, so they''re practically unavoidable. When we drive, we''re at risk of getting into


    car idents. When we take a flight, we''re at risk of being in a ne crash. We can''t be taking


    precautions against every single thing in the world, can we? Forget about the risks and just prescribe


    me some medication. I won''t be staying in the hospital, nor will I be getting injections, let alone IV


    drips,” Nan Xing protested.


    “That won''t do, mister. Now that you''re here, you need to ept the proper treatment procedures we


    provide you with. What if something bad happens to you because you refused the injection? It would be


    too huge of a responsibility for us to bear!” the nurse insisted.


    “Why are you being so persistent? I told you, I''m fine. The examinations earlier too, have shown that


    there''s nothing wrong with me. Why must you insist on giving me injections and IV drips? Stop bugging


    me or I''ll have a word with your director! You won''t even get to keep your job if that happens!”


    “I...” The nurse was clearly intimidated by his threat.


    “What on earth happened to you?” Nan Chen asked as he came in through the door.


    “Hey, Chen...” Nan Xing mumbled nervously when he saw him.


    “How did you get hurt? Is it serious?” Nan Chen asked.


    The nurse shifted her gaze between the two of them with a look of confusion on her face.


    Had it not been for their different outfits, she would''ve thought she was seeing things.


    “I''m fine, Chen.”


    “Then ept the treatment that you''re given. Either she gives you the injection, or I will. Be warned,


    though. I''m not a trained medical professional, so I can''t guarantee if I''ll be able to get it right. If I miss


    the mark, I will have to redo the whole process,” Nan Chen said.


    “Chen, you...”


    His threat was so effective that Nan Xing gave in instantly.


    “Let her give you the tetanus shot, then. You can skip the IV drip if you don''t want it. I won''t force you to


    get an IV drip unless it''s absolutely necessary,” Nan Chen continued.


    “Fine...” Nan Xing had no choice but to ept his fate.
