Some people, however, recalled Chen Ping'an's earlier words—that he was injured, needed to rest, and shouldn't fight.
'Injured and in need of rest?'
Perhaps Chen Ping'an really had been injured back then, and it wasn't just an excuse like everyone thought.
It seemed they had all misunderstood!
Chen Ping'an hadn't expected that by seizing the opportunity to perform a meritorious service and appropriately displaying his talent, he would also gain this benefit—it had cleared his name in a roundabout way.
When he heard about this from Yuan Zutong, he didn't have much of a reaction, just a knowing smile.
He didn't care what others thought, but clearing his name along the way, without compromising his principles, was a pleasant experience nonetheless.
Since Beicang Town was still under lockdown, he couldn't return to Five Peaks Mountain City for the time being. He had been spending his days recuperating in Qingyou Garden.
