Chapter 27: The Police Have Issued a Statement!

"Officer Tan, don't you worry! If needed, we will all testify for you!"

Inside the livestream, netizens heard the conversation between Tan Ping and Director Zhang and flooded the screen with comments.

"Exactly! It was clearly that large black dog trying to bite the little girl, Yao Yao, and Officer Tan stepped in to protect her! How could he be framed for animal abuse?"

"We saw the whole process clearly; I even recorded the screen!"

After hanging up the phone, Tan Ping saw the barrage of comments and immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, everyone! Just keep the evidence safe. Please, do not engage in online arguments with those people, and definitely do not cyberbully them!"

He was worried that his fans, fueled by indignation, might resort to doxxing or online harassment.

The fans in the stream responded with messages:

"Officer Tan, don't worry! We are all civilized people!"

"That's right! Just because a dog bit us, we can't go around biting dogs back!"

"Officer Tan, is it really you?"

Just as Tan Ping was reading the comments, a surprised female voice called out from behind him.

Tan Ping turned around and saw a nurse looking at him with delight. She was wearing a medical mask, with only a pair of sparkling, wide eyes visible.

"Who are you?"

Tan Ping scanned her, realizing he didn't recognize her, and asked.

"Officer Tan, I used to watch your livestreams..." the nurse explained immediately.

"Oh! So that's how it is." Tan Ping nodded with a smile. He realized he had run into a fan at the hospital.

The mood in the livestream was intense.

"Brothers! Officer Tan needs to get checked and have his wounds treated right now, so it’s inconvenient for him. Let’s go collect evidence on those trolls!"

"Right! We can’t let a hero bleed and then shed tears. If Officer Tan gets disciplined because of this, all of us here are responsible!"

"Exactly! To prevent them from deleting their posts and running away, let's take screenshots and save the evidence!"

"The person above, post a keyword, and we'll all go together!"

Seeing the netizens spontaneously rushing to help him, Tan Ping felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your hard work!"

The nurse examined Tan Ping's wounds and said, "Officer Tan, you have a slight fever. You need an examination. Come with me; I’ll draw your blood!"

The cameraman following them immediately asked, "Nurse, is it okay to film this?"

"Of course!" The nurse nodded with a smile.

"Alright!" Tan Ping nodded and followed her.

"Officer Tan, sit on this stool!" Inside the room, the nurse pointed to a stool in front of the desk. Tan Ping complied.

"The tourniquet! The tourniquet!" The nurse pointed at Tan Ping and exclaimed.

Tan Ping shivered involuntarily upon hearing this. He couldn't help it; he had seen enough Japanese adult films to find that phrase a bit too sensitive.

The netizens in the livestream were in an uproar!

"Is this nurse serious?"

"Could she be a female fan in disguise?"

"That phrase made my bones melt!"

"Look at Officer Tan, he looks as panicked as if he’d been caught stealing!"

"Officer Tan, I meant that you were sitting on the tourniquet! What were you thinking?"

Seeing Tan Ping’s embarrassed expression, the nurse couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Tan Ping stood up immediately, a look of sudden realization on his face: "So desu ne!" He grabbed the tourniquet from the stool and placed it on the table.

The netizens in the stream burst into laughter again:

"Hahaha! Officer Tan’s accent is definitely at the colonel level!"

"Looks like he hasn't watched fewer films than the rest of us for language learning!"

"Officer Tan has such a great mindset. Even while being cyberbullied, he's still cracking jokes!"

"True! I was just worried he might have become depressed over this!"

After all the examinations were finished, the nurse said with a smile, "Officer Tan, now, I'm going to give you an injection!" As she spoke, she skillfully brought out a syringe.

"Does this... hurt?" Tan Ping asked, looking at the nurse with suspicion.

"Don't worry! I've given shots to at least eight hundred people in this hospital, if not a thousand!" The nurse said confidently.

Hearing this, Tan Ping immediately bared his arm.

*Swish!*

Quickly and efficiently, the nurse found the spot and plunged the needle in. Tan Ping’s arm twitched, and he almost jumped up.

The nurse continued, "...there isn't a single person who doesn't yell! Officer Tan, you're the first one to hold back from screaming!"

"Hey! No way! Did it have to hurt that much?" Tan Ping’s eyes were welling up with tears.

"There's an old saying: long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!" the nurse reasoned.

After drawing the blood, she walked over and looked at him with concern: "Officer Tan, how are you feeling now?"

"Right now, it's hard to describe..." Tan Ping shook his head, not wanting to talk.

The nurse suggested, "Touch your leg and see how it feels!"

"Touch my leg?" Tan Ping looked down involuntarily, catching sight of the nurse’s long, straight legs. He felt a bit awkward. "Is that really appropriate? It feels a bit abrupt..."

In the livestream, netizens flooded the screen:

"Holy crap! Which hospital is this? They have this kind of therapy?"

"Nurse sister, are you using this to test our officer?"

"It’s only because it’s Officer Tan. If it were me, I would have touched them already!"

"To the guy above, if you touched them, how would you handle a sexual harassment charge?"

"Officer Tan, I meant for you to touch your own leg!" The nurse laughed as she saw his embarrassment.

"No need! I can still feel my own legs!" Tan Ping waved his hand immediately.

"Officer Tan, do you have any drug allergies?" the nurse continued.

"No!" Tan Ping thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Good! Next, a rabies vaccine!" The nurse again skillfully retrieved a syringe from the drawer.

"Um, can I switch to someone else?" Seeing the eager look in the nurse’s eyes, Tan Ping couldn't help but shiver.

"You're already here! Officer Tan, it's just a quick poke, it won't hurt!" the nurse said with a smile.

"Fine!" Tan Ping resigned himself, reached out his arm, and pulled his sleeve up. He clenched his fist tightly, his veins bulging on his arm.

"Wow! Officer Tan’s arm muscles are so well-defined!" The female netizens in the stream were stunned.

"I didn't expect Officer Tan, who looks so delicate and handsome, to have such strong arm muscles!"

"That’s what they call fists the size of sandbags! I seriously suspect that if the nurse stabs him, he might reflexively punch her!"

"Relax! Officer Tan, please relax! Look, you’ve got varicose veins!" the nurse said, trying to soothe him as she saw his tense arm.

"..." Tan Ping began to question reality. However, he still unclenched his fist.

The nurse seized the opportunity and used the same technique, delivering a clean, swift injection. The cameraman immediately focused the lens on Tan Ping's face.

Tan Ping kept his face rigid, but stubbornly insisted: "Lin Shigong, why are you filming my face? It doesn't hurt at all. Don't believe me? You want to try?"

The netizens were surprised:

"The cameraman’s name is Lin Shigong? That name is hilarious!"

"Is the cameraman the legendary 'Scapegoat Saint'?"

Lin Shigong shook his head immediately: "No! I am not trying!"

Just then, a netizen posted in the stream: "Great news! The police have issued an official statement!"
