Chapter 2210 - 2411: Intentionally Concealed Some Matters!!!

Zhang Danlin somewhat knew Hao Jian's character, so she didn't really take He Yingzi's words to heart. Hearing what Hao Jian said, she nodded and said to him, "Mm, I believe you wouldn't do such a thing."

Hearing Zhang Danlin say this, Hao Jian looked relieved and said, "Mm, you understand me. You know I would never do something so despicable and shameless."

On the side, He Yingzi was furious when she heard Zhang Danlin say this. She wanted Zhang Danlin to doubt Hao Jian, to ruin his image among friends, to let him know her intent, so he could never raise his head among friends again. But she didn't expect this girl in front of her to trust Hao Jian so much. The completely fabricated situation was actually not believed by her, leaving He Yingzi a bit stunned.

However, she quickly came up with a plan. Raising an eyebrow while looking at Hao Jian, she said, "Hmph, I didn't know where you learned your tricks from. You're tricking the girl so well, it seems I underestimated you."

Then, she turned her gaze to Zhang Danlin, pointing at her own injured left hand, she said, "Girl, I'm telling you, why are you so foolish to be deceived by a scumbag like Hao Jian with just a few words? You're really easy to fool. Look at this wound on my hand, it's from when he grabbed me earlier. If I hadn't threatened my life, I might have already fallen into his clutches by now."

As she spoke, she started crying, then turned her gaze to Hao Jian, saying, "I thought of you as a friend, treated you sincerely, but didn't expect you to be such a heartless wretch, trying to take advantage of me when I wasn't paying attention... If I hadn't reacted quickly and resisted, who knows what would have happened. You're quite impressive at deceiving other girls with sweet talk."

Continuing to speak, she turned to Zhang Danlin with a tearful expression, sincerely saying, "Girl, I'm telling you all this to keep you away from this man. He's terrifying. I've already been tricked once. Although he didn't succeed, I don't want you to fall for it again. Learn from my experience or you'll regret it."

"You beast!" He Yingzi shifted her gaze back to Hao Jian, "Mark my words, I've got evidence, we'll see each other at the police station."

After saying this, He Yingzi showed a satisfied expression, but only Hao Jian saw it. Zhang Danlin, who had her back to her, did not notice. She was provoking Hao Jian, ruining his image in front of him, and it was an exhilarating act.

Of course, Hao Jian was furious, but had no way to react. He couldn't possibly lash out at her in front of Zhang Danlin. Hitting a woman was never a good thing.

But just then, Zhang Danlin unexpectedly came over and wrapped her arm around his, as if asserting her claim, saying to He Yingzi, "I believe him. He absolutely wouldn't do such a thing, so stop slandering him."

He Yingzi was shocked; she had planned her words to slowly defame Hao Jian's image, but before she could even start, Zhang Danlin interrupted her, leaving her unsure of how to continue.

"You... are really stupid!" He Yingzi let out a sigh to express her current feelings.

However, nothing He Yingzi said now could make Zhang Danlin believe her. After experiencing so much with Hao Jian, she was certain what kind of person he was and that he wouldn't do such things to a girl.

First of all, there were so many holes in He Yingzi's story. Hao Jian had saved her from bad guys countless times; how could he possibly do what those bad guys did? Moreover, if Hao Jian had really been so dirty-minded, focused only on base desires, there were several times when she had thrown herself at him. If Hao Jian really wanted to, they might have already achieved fruition by now; there was no reason to wait until today.

Also, the last time during a fight, Hao Jian had restrained himself when facing women, claiming he doesn't hit women. How could he injure a girl's hand, and the wound seemed deep, with blood sticking to the clothes on her hand?

Lastly, the most important point, which Zhang Danlin hadn't noticed before, was brought up when He Yingzi pointed out the focus on her hand wound. Zhang Danlin instinctively looked at her hand wound, seeing that the fabric wrapped around it was precisely a piece of Hao Jian's cloth.

Looking sideways, she saw that the corner of Hao Jian's clothing was missing that exact piece, meaning the cloth over He Yingzi's wound was indeed taken from Hao Jian's clothing.

If Hao Jian had injured He Yingzi, would he tear a piece from his own clothes to bandage the wound? In such a scenario, he'd be more concerned with the next step rather than tending to the wound. This discovery only made Zhang Danlin more certain of Hao Jian's innocence and He Yingzi's deceit.

When Hao Jian heard He Yingzi call Zhang Danlin stupid again, he couldn't accept it and said, "Danlin isn't stupid, it's you who's stupid. I saved you with good intentions, yet you repay kindness with malice and even try to slander me. If Danlin didn't believe me, my image would be completely ruined by now."

Zhang Danlin looked surprised upon hearing that Hao Jian had previously saved her.

Hao Jian, noticing this, whispered to her, "Sigh, it's a long story. I'll tell you later."

Seeing that her little scheme was all exposed, He Yingzi's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she stomped her foot in frustration, saying to Zhang Danlin, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. You'll realize how stupid you are after you've suffered the consequences."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, quickly disappearing out of sight. Zhang Danlin had initially wanted to chase after her to clarify things, to insist that she shouldn't wrongly accuse Hao Jian for no reason, but just as she took a step forward, Hao Jian pulled her back, signaling with his eyes not to chase, so she didn't.

"Let her go. Just looking at her is infuriating. I've never seen a woman like her!" Hao Jian said with extreme displeasure.

At that moment, Zhang Danlin looked up at him with a puzzled expression, curiously asking, "Hao Jian, didn't you say earlier that you were meeting an old friend? Why did you just say you went to rescue her? And why is she accusing you of having inappropriate intentions towards her? What's going on here?"

Seeing her puzzled expression, Hao Jian could only shake his head helplessly. It seems He Yingzi was truly someone he couldn't afford to mess with. Last time, he helped her out of goodwill and ended up getting detained in the guardhouse. This time, when he saw she was in danger, he thought he couldn't just walk away, yet she treated him like this again. Sigh…

Afterwards, he had no choice but to pull Zhang Danlin aside and tell her the whole story in detail. Upon hearing it, she showed a face of surprise. Hao Jian then recounted the first time he encountered He Yingzi, how he intervened and ended up being mistaken as a thief's accomplice and got dragged into the guardhouse. Listening to the complete story made Zhang Danlin even more astonished.

"I didn't expect her to be this kind of person," Zhang Danlin said, somewhat surprised.

Hao Jian shook his head helplessly, saying: "Women, can't afford to mess with them, can't afford it."

"Sigh, you've really had it tough, trying to do good deeds twice only to be treated like this both times. Don't do such things again next time," Zhang Danlin said.

Immediately, Hao Jian waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I won't. If she's being beaten on the streets, I won't lend a hand again, she's way too ruthless."

"Hmm." Zhang Danlin nodded, expressing agreement.

However, at this moment, Zhang Danlin suddenly showed another puzzled expression, saying, "Eh, wait, why do I feel like this female cop has a special grudge against you? Did you offend her somehow?"

Hearing Zhang Danlin's question, Hao Jian immediately felt a bit of a tingling sensation on his scalp. Women's minds are just impossible to figure out; women's hearts are like needles in the sea, and their sixth sense is particularly strong. Although he had almost told Zhang Danlin the whole story, he, of course, didn't mention the things that happened later with He Yingzi at the guardhouse, including touching her leg and looking at her chest.

He kept those things hidden in his heart, naturally impossible to tell her. If he did, his once trustworthy image would be gone.

It was probably due to these incidents that He Yingzi remained fixated on him, causing tension between them. But he didn't tell Zhang Danlin about this.

Suddenly, Zhang Danlin raised this doubt, it really startled him.

Feeling unsure in his heart, he quickly covered up by saying: "Well... I really don't know either."

"Sigh, forget it, let's not think too much about it." Hao Jian said, "Weren't we going to the pharmacy to buy medicine? Let's hurry up and go, don't waste any more time."

"Right, oh." Zhang Danlin suddenly snapped back, looked down for a moment, realizing a long time had passed, quickly said, "Ah, we need to hurry or we won't have enough time. We'd better go buy the medicine quickly."

Having been prompted by Hao Jian, she actually forgot the doubts she had moments ago, instantly responding like this.

Hao Jian looked delighted, nodded, and said: "Let's go."
