Chapter 267: Chapter 267 This is Flour

He Nan pulled the car over to the side of the road, "Is there something else?"

"I’d like the doctor to take a look at this medicine." Shen Mianmian passed the medicine packet to He Nan.

He took the packet from her, "Where did this come from?"

Shen Mianmian’s throat had also improved a bit, and speaking was not as difficult. She said softly, "This is what Xu Haiyang gave to Siyu, telling her to give it to me, claiming it was ’Obedience Powder’. I secretly switched it out."

Upon hearing this, He Nan’s expression turned cold. To dare to use such a thing on such a young girl... his prior actions had indeed been too lenient.

He opened the paper packet to take a look, smelled it, then pinched a bit between his fingers to crush it, and finally put a bit in his mouth to taste it. Shen Mianmian was startled and quickly said,

"Big Brother He, this is an unregulated medicine."

What if something had gone wrong from eating it?

"It’s fine."

After tasting a bit, He Nan said calmly after a while, "It’s flour."

"Flour?"

Shen Mianmian was somewhat amused and exasperated; after all the trouble, it had been for nothing.

He Nan caught the important part of her previous statement, "Was Xu Haiyang one of the people who kidnapped you?"

"Mhm." Shen Mianmian nodded. She didn’t hide anything from He Nan, and roughly explained her grudges with Xu Haiyang, of course without leaving out Zhou Siyu.

The more he listened, the colder He Nan’s expression became, "In the future, you need to tell me about these things in time."

If he had known earlier that Xu Haiyang had harassed her, he wouldn’t have given Xu Haiyang the chance to commit his crime.

"Mhm."

Shen Mianmian nodded obediently.

Before, she had been afraid of troubling He Nan, so she hadn’t spoken up. Besides, He Nan was not her personal bodyguard.

Although he was willing to help her, pity her, she couldn’t cling to him like a leech.

After thinking it over, she asked, "Big Brother He, my cousin Siyu was also involved in this matter. Is there a big chance of her being sent to prison?"

"Not likely," He Nan analyzed expressionlessly, "The powder is fake, and you have no evidence to prove she put it there. Even if Xu Haiyang confesses her involvement, she could claim she was coerced. Considering she is a minor, at most she would get a verbal warning."

In other words, if Xu Haiyang didn’t confess to Zhou Siyu’s involvement, then she’d be even less likely to face any consequences.

Shen Mianmian had roughly guessed as much, so she wasn’t too disappointed.

She sighed, "She got off easy."

He Nan glanced at her but did not say anything.

As the car passed the intersection to Shu Tun, she hurriedly said, "Big Brother He, I can get off here." It was almost noon, and she hadn’t gone to the Lu Family yet, Lu Siyuan must be extremely worried by now.

He Nan raised an eyebrow, "Still planning to go into the city?"

Shen Mianmian shook her head, "Not today, it’s too late. But I have to let Siyuan know, he must be really worried about me now."

"You go back first, I’ll pass on the message."

"...Alright then!" Since he hadn’t even stopped the car, Shen Mianmian could only agree, "Thank you, Big Brother He."

"It’s no trouble."

Shen Mianmian: "..."

She sneaked a glance at him, thinking to herself that if he were in her previous life, he would be the aloof male god in the hearts of those boys.

Being able to ride in his car would be something so many would envy!

In her previous life, she wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.

The car soon arrived at the entrance to the Lu Family village, and Shen Mianmian bid farewell to He Nan and got out, only to find that he got out as well.

She quickly waved her hands, "Big Brother He, there’s no need to escort me, I can make it back on my own."

"I wasn’t planning to escort you," he said.

Shen Mianmian felt embarrassed, realizing she had thought too much.

Seeing her embarrassed look, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes; this was the most relaxed he had appeared all day while with her.
