School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 745: Chapter 822: Encounter with Li Xiao at the Hospital

Why was Han Yuting blushing? Chen Nan couldn’t figure it out, because he really hadn’t noticed just then.

When he arrived at the ward, Han Yuting was already sitting by the hospital bed, talking with her father, her eyes still glossy with tears.

”Uncle, how are your injuries?”

Upon seeing Chen Nan, Han Haihe immediately became agitated, ”Xiao Chen, you’re here too? These are just minor injuries, nothing serious.”

Chen Nan saw that both his hands and feet were bound with bandages, and guessed that other parts concealed by clothing were also injured. He quickly asked, ”Uncle, how did you get these injuries? They seem quite severe!”

”Not severe, really, they’re just minor wounds.”

Han Haihe shook his head and said to Han Yuting, ”Your mom went out to buy some stuff. I’m not in a condition to get up, there’s fruit over there, go wash some for us.”

Han Yuting nodded and got up to wash the fruit.

Chen Nan walked over and sat down by the bed, looked at Han Haihe, and said, ”Uncle, what actually happened to you? You have injuries all over.”

”Ah, it’s a long story,” Han Haihe sighed and began, ”I’m in the water and electrical installation business. Last year, I came to Songhai City with a contractor friend and worked under him. After some time, I got to know more people and started to work as a contractor myself. But some time ago, because I snatched a local contractor’s business, and his brother happens to be involved in the underworld, they sought revenge on me. I’m an outsider here; in the future, I won’t compete with them for business.”

”It’s not right for you to say that, Uncle. As long as we haven’t left the country, there’s no distinction between locals and outsiders. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang.”

Han Haihe shook his head with a bitter smile, ”That’s true, but reality isn’t like that! A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, let alone I am just an ordinary person.”

”I refuse to believe this, tell me the names of those people, I’ll meet with them and see if they dare to bully others by throwing their weight around in the future,” Chen Nan said, trying to alleviate the father-daughter’s worries, before adding, ”Don’t worry, although I’m not from the underworld, I know people everywhere around here.”

You know people here as well?

Han Haihe found it hard to believe, given that this place was several hundred miles away from Ningjiang City!

However, upon remembering the gambling debts he accumulated in the past, when he was detained by his creditors, and Chen Nan simply made a phone call, prompting the Qinglong Society to obediently release him and hand over the promissory note, he felt that Chen Nan’s words might hold some truth.

”Chen Nan, are you really sure about this?” Han Yuting looked at him with some worry.

Chen Nan nodded, smiled, and said, ”Have I ever lied to you?”

”No.”

”Well, there you go.” Chen Nan chuckled, looking at Han Haihe and said, ”Uncle, just tell me.”

Han Haihe looked at his daughter, clearly still concerned.

Not until Han Yuting nodded did he say, ”In fact, I’m not sure who exactly they are. I only know the contractor who snatched the business from me is called Hero Zhang, and his brother who is notorious in the underworld is called Zhang Xiaoxia, also infamously nicknamed Scorpion for his ruthlessness and brutal deeds.”

Chen Nan nodded and asked, ”Is there any other information?”

”No, that’s all I know,” said Han Haihe.

”I’ll make a quick phone call and be right back.” Chen Nan stood up and stepped out of the ward to call a man known as the Poison Wolf, asking him to gather information on the two brothers. Poison Wolf readily agreed, promising to get the job done within two hours.

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Nan was ready to return to the ward, but at that moment, Su Qingqing called him, asking where he was, noticing he’d been missing since early morning and still hadn’t returned.

Chen Nan didn’t dare to tell her he was with Han Yuting, fearing Su Qingqing might get the wrong idea. He lied, saying he was at Huo Xinya’s house, and that his junior sister was there too, claiming he was just keeping her company.

The moment she heard this, Su Qingqing immediately blew up—

”Idiot, you dead liar, I’m at Xinya’s house tutoring right now, how come I haven’t seen you, nor your junior sister!”

Chen Nan broke out in a cold sweat.

He had not expected that little brat to actually go to Huo Xinya for tutoring, which really damaged his reputation.

”Why aren’t you talking, huh? Speak up!” Su Qingqing said furiously, ”All you know is to deceive me, confess, did you go chasing after girls?”

”No...”

Although Chen Nan truly hadn’t been chasing girls, his response lacked confidence.

After all, he had been with Ou Yifei in the morning, and now he was spending time with Han Yuting. Even though he was just helping others out of good will, he still felt somewhat guilty facing Su Qingqing’s questioning.

”Hmph, you still won’t admit it!”

Su Qingqing stomped her feet in anger, saying, ”Stupid idiot, listen up, I’m giving you one more chance, do you admit it or not?”

Chen Nan felt even more guilty, ”This... I really haven’t!”

”Idiot, are you with Han Yuting?”

Chen Nan could almost imagine Su Qingqing pouting and acting coquettish out of annoyance. He was quite surprised—how did this little devil know he was with Han Yuting?

Could that old man predict the future with a finger calculation just like knowing the past and future? Surely this little devil didn’t have such skills, right?

Chen Nan scratched his head, feeling incredibly guilty, ”This, how did you... how did you know that?”

”So you are indeed with her!”

Su Qingqing had not been certain before, but now she was, feeling depressed, ”Just now Hua Buqi said she saw you at the train station, I didn’t quite believe it. I didn’t expect you to really be with her, hmph!”

Hua Buqi!

Her real name was Hua Buqi, and she was a girl from the senior year, class nine.

Although a girl, she was on the burly side, standing at 1.7 meters tall, conservatively estimated to weigh 200 pounds, strong as an ox, a large figure, more intimidating than most boys.

Chen Nan remembered when he first entered the school, Hua Buqi had written him a love letter.

”That stinky woman, spouting nonsense for no reason!”

Chen Nan forgot the phone call was still connected and muttered his frustration, which Su Qingqing overheard, and needless to say, it led to a tempestuous reaction!

In the end, Chen Nan explained for a long time, telling her he was just doing good deeds, like Lei Feng.

It took the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, but Su Qingqing finally seemed to believe him.

”Hua Buqi, oh Hua Buqi, I’ll have to instigate Zhu Bajie to chase after you later!” Chen Nan gritted his teeth and said before turning to walk towards the ward. But he had only taken a few steps when he noticed a familiar figure in the distance.

Li Xiao!

Wasn’t she supposed to be at her cousin’s birthday party? What was she doing in the hospital?

Chen Nan scratched his head in confusion and ran over, ”Xiao Xiao, why are you here too?”
