Chapter 186 Someone Wants to Kill Your Wife

Xia Yuhuan looked down and was surprised to see He Xiaojie with red eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

"What's wrong with Xiao Jie? Why are you crying? Were you bullied at school today?" Xia Yuhuan asked hurriedly.

He Xiaojie shook his head, raised his finger and pointed to the wound on her neck, gesturing as he spoke.

He asked her how she got hurt.

He Xiaojie reached out cautiously, looking as if he wanted to touch her wound but dared not.

Xia Yuhuan then realized that she had forgotten to pull her sweater up to cover her wound while she was in the bathroom, and Xiao Jie had seen it.

Xia Yuhuan helped He Xiaojie sit down on the sofa and rolled up her sweater.

He then smiled and comforted her, "Little Jie, don't be afraid. It's just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a couple of days. It's nothing serious."

He Xiaojie held her hand, looking at her in disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears, filled with deep heartache.

Looking at his gentle and tender appearance, Xia Yuhuan's heart softened as well.

"Silly child, I'm really fine, I'm not lying to you."

"How about I check your wound tomorrow and let you see how it's healing?" Xia Yuhuan said again.

He Xiaojie nodded slightly upon hearing this and then made a gesture.

That means you have to keep your word, otherwise you're a dog.

Xia Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I promise, I'll definitely show it to Xiao Jie."

Chi Yanzhou watched as Xia Yuhuan patiently communicated with Xiao Jie, his eyes flickering slightly.

He felt fortunate every time he saw Xia Yuhuan and He Xiaojie getting along well.

Fortunately, he married Xia Yuhuan, such a good person who treats He Xiaojie like her own child.

I'm also glad that Xiao Jie met such a good stepmother as Xia Yuhuan, which made up for the hurt he suffered after being abandoned by his biological mother.

With Xia Yuhuan around, Xiao Jie's emotional wounds should gradually heal.

Chi Yanzhou felt that Xia Yuhuan was like a gift from heaven, falling into their family and changing their destiny.

He doesn't have to die young, his parents don't have to suffer the pain of losing their son, Xiao Jie can still have his adoptive father to protect him, and he can also have an understanding, gentle and loving adoptive mother.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

The family of three were talking together when they heard the sound of a car coming from the yard.

Aunt Wang went out to open the door, and after a short while, she strode in with a dignified-looking soldier.

Xia Yuhuan was surprised to find that she recognized the person who came.

It was Wen Yingjie, the comrade-in-arms of Chi Yanzhou whom she rescued.

"Yanzhou, you're really awake! That's wonderful!"

Upon seeing Chi Yanzhou, Wen Yingjie couldn't help but show some excitement and strode forward.

When Chi Yanzhou saw him, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, thanks to Ayu, she cured me," Chi Yanzhou said with a smile.

Wen Yingjie's gaze fell on Xia Yuhuan: "This must be your sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Wen Yingjie."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and nodded at him: "Hello, please sit down. You can sit down and chat. I'll go pour you some tea."

Wen Yingjie, however, gave Xia Yuhuan a respectful military salute.

Xia Yuhuan was startled.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sister-in-law. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

"After I recovered from my injury, I went on a mission and just got back. I haven't been able to thank you in time, so I hope you will forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhuan quickly waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me. I am a doctor, and treating patients and saving lives is my job. There is no need to thank me."

After exchanging a few polite words with Wen Yingjie, Xia Yuhuan quickly pulled Xiao Jie up and went to the kitchen.

She figured Wen Yingjie's sudden visit must be to see Chi Yanzhou.

Perhaps she wanted to catch up with old friends, or perhaps she had something to do and didn't want to get in the way.

Wen Yingjie sat down on the sofa and asked Chi Yanzhou, "How are you? Is your leg alright?"

"It's alright, it will get better, it just needs time," Chi Yanzhou said calmly.

Except when he was in front of Xia Yuhuan, Chi Yanzhou's emotions did not fluctuate much.

Wen Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was just worried that something might happen to you and you wouldn't recover. That would be such a pity."

After all, Chi Yanzhou was an extremely outstanding military genius, as well as his rare rival and close friend, so he naturally did not want anything to happen to Chi Yanzhou.

"Have you investigated everything that happened before? Has the traitor been found?" Chi Yanzhou asked him.

Wen Yingjie nodded slightly: "Yes, the operation is over, and the traitor who leaked the information has been found."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou narrowed his eyes: "You mean there are other traitors?"

Wen Yingjie nodded slightly: "The cleanup work has been ongoing, but money can be a powerful motivator, and some people can't resist it and lose their principles and bottom line, which is understandable."

Humans have desires, and desires can easily lead one astray. Not everyone can stay true to their beliefs.

It's not surprising that some people get lost in power, money, or beauty.

Chi Yanzhou understood and nodded slightly: "I know. I won't get better in a short time and I can't help you. I'll have to trouble you."

“It’s not hard work, it’s just a hard life,” Wen Yingjie said.

"Unlike you, who are so lucky, lying in bed, having your family arrange a marriage for you, and even bringing home such a good and capable wife."

"Tell me, how come you're so lucky?" Wen Yingjie said with some envy.

When he woke up and learned that his survival was largely due to Chi Yanzhou's new wife, who had saved him, he was stunned.

No, Chi Yanzhou is already so amazing, how come his wife is better than other people's?

He casually married a doctor with such amazing medical skills; wouldn't people be incredibly envious if word got out?

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou smiled more.

"Envious? Envy is useless. That's my wife. You can't be envious of her."

Wen Yingjie rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "So you're the only one with a wife, huh?"

"Look how smug you are. Humph, when I marry a wife, she'll definitely be just as outstanding as yours."

Chi Yanzhou said calmly, "My wife is the best."

Wen Yingjie: "..."

"Besides, you're a lifelong bachelor, how could you possibly get married? Who would believe that?" Chi Yanzhou said dismissively.

Wen Yingjie: "..."

He wanted to hit someone.

"Chi Yanzhou, don't think that just because you're in a wheelchair I won't dare to beat you up," Wen Yingjie said angrily.

"Alright, stop fooling around and let's get down to business. You came to me for no reason other than to joke around, right?" Chi Yanzhou asked him.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yingjie subconsciously looked around.

Not seeing Xia Yuhuan, he whispered, "My visit this time is related to your wife."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou immediately frowned: "What do you mean it has anything to do with my wife?"

“Your wife is being targeted; someone wants to kill her,” Wen Yingjie said.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou's mind went blank, and his hands immediately clenched into fists.
