Dashing Student

Hearing the shrill scolding, everyone simultaneously turned their heads, and what came into view was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

Niu Decheng recognized Wu Cuixia's identity at a glance, she was Mr. Lu's live-in caretaker, and immediately shouted angrily, "Wu Cuixia, do you know that Mr. Lu just had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and almost lost his life?"

"If you are Mr. Lu's live-in caretaker, why weren't you at home just now?"

"If something really happened, could you bear the consequences?"

Hearing Niu Decheng's angry shout, Wu Cuixia's pupils violently trembled, and her initially angry face also revealed hard-to-conceal terror.

She had not expected that something like this could happen during her absence.

It was fortunate that Mr. Lu had already woken up, because if something serious had happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Meanwhile,

The sound of the ambulance grew louder as it approached swiftly, led by four security guards.

"You're all completely useless! Tell me, why did no one answer when I called your property management just now?" Wang Guodong glared at the security guards, radiating intense anger.

Although today's incident had nothing to do with him,

This incident made him, as a property owner, feel not the slightest security.

Because both the property management and the community security were connected to the safety of the owners' lives and properties.

Take what happened today, for example.

If Chen Nan hadn't climbed over the wall to save Mr. Lu, a life would certainly have been lost.

The property management had an inescapable responsibility for this incident.

"Now is not the time for accountability; in my opinion, we should still take Mr. Lu to the hospital for a thorough examination," said Chen Nan's voice.

Although Mr. Lu had regained consciousness and was alert, he had, after all, just suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and needed a thorough examination.

Mr. Lu weakly nodded his head and then looked towards Chen Nan, "Would you kindly accompany me to the hospital?"

"Er... Sure!"

Chen Nan initially didn't want to go to the hospital with him as he had planned to spend the night with Liu Hanyan.

However, seeing the old man's sincere gaze, and thinking of the unreliable caretaker, he finally agreed to Mr. Lu's request.

After that, he helped the medical staff carry Mr. Lu onto the stretcher and boarded the ambulance to the hospital.

Liu Hanyan had wanted to follow along, but Chen Nan declined, insisting that it was sufficient for him alone to accompany, and there was no need for her, a delicate woman, to be involved.

The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital, and Mr. Lu was taken to the examination room for a thorough check.

Chen Nan stayed alone in the hallway, feeling utterly bored.

Though feeling a bit bored,

Thinking that he had just saved a living being made the corners of his mouth rise slightly, almost irrepressibly.

When he had descended the mountain, his master had said, among the myriad practices in the world, rescuing the distressed was the supreme path!

Just then,

A series of footsteps came from the end of the hallway.

Chen Nan instinctively looked up and saw a man about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and exuding an extraordinary presence.

He was tall, about six feet three inches, with sharp eyes that emitted a commanding aura even without anger.

Especially the way he walked—fast yet stable, it gave off the impression that he was trained.

The middle-aged man politely asked, "Is Mr. Lu inside?"

Chen Nan stood up and asked, "Are you a relative of Mr. Lu?"

The middle-aged man introduced himself, "My name is Li Yao, and I am a relative of Mr. Lu."

Chen Nan nodded in understanding, then said, "Since you are Mr. Lu's relative, you should stay and keep him company."

"The old man's illness is not very serious, but he needs to rest for a while to fully recover."

Li Yao politely asked, "I heard that you saved Mr. Lu's life. May I ask how to address you?"

Chen Nan shrugged, "It was nothing more than a simple gesture." Saying this, he was ready to walk away. He truly considered it a mere gesture and had not thought about receiving any repayment.

A hint of appreciation flashed through Li Yao's eyes, "It might have been a simple gesture to you, but I believe Mr. Lu would also want to know who saved his life."

"My name is Chen Nan." Chen Nan originally intended to remain anonymous, but upon pondering, even if he wanted to remain unrecognized, they would still be able to find out his information through Liu Hanyan.

Rather than that, he might as well be straightforward.

Li Yao nodded slightly, committing the name to memory, then took out a business card which only had his name and contact number.

He handed the business card to Chen Nan, earnestly saying, "Saving a life is more important than Mount Tai, and whether you wish to accept Lu Family's gratitude or not, we need to express our appreciation."

"This is my number, should you need anything, feel free to call me."

As he said this, he paused, then added, "Of course, you can call up to three times."

Chen Nan frowned, "Anything at all?"

Li Yao smiled, "As long as it is within the law."

Chen Nan smirked, then took the business card, striding confidently towards the end of the hallway.

The smile slowly faded from Li Yao's face, and it was only now that he realized he had misspoken.

Chen Nan had courageously stepped in to save Mr. Lu's life, which clearly showed his integrity; how could such a person possibly consider breaking the law?

Then he took out his phone and dialed a number. Once the call connected, he respectfully said, "Mr. Lu, the old man's condition has now stabilized."

"Yes, it was a young Taoist who saved the old man."

"This guy is quite young, and I find him a bit inscrutable."

"Also, the incident concerning the nanny has been cleared up; she was involved with the security guard of the residential complex."

"The nanny took the opportunity while the old man was asleep to meet secretly with the security guard, who incidentally was on duty today and did not hear calls from the residents."

"It was due to this very reason that today's perilous situation unfolded. Fortunately, the old man's great fortune averted the danger."

"Alright, I understand. Once the old man awakes, I will call you immediately."

------

When Chen Nan left the hospital, the streetlights had already gone out, and the street, usually thronged with traffic, seemed very empty. In the darkness, only a dimly lit electric tricycle was visible.

The light was weak, but in the darkness, it was particularly noticeable.

The electric tricycle bore the inscription for "roujiamo," seeming like it belonged to a snack vendor.

"Gurgle!"

Upon seeing the characters for "roujiamo," Chen Nan's stomach protested. Though he had had a large meal earlier in the evening, after everything that had unfolded, he was feeling ravenously hungry.

Thinking this, Chen Nan walked briskly to the vendor's tricycle where a figure was resting on it.

Chen Nan politely asked, "Hello, do you still have any roujiamo?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing the voice, the woman quickly stood up, looking at Chen Nan with a weary face, "How many would you like?"

"Hiss!"

At the sight of the woman, Chen Nan couldn't help but gasp, "Holy crap, am I seeing a ghost? Why is it you?"
