Although Xia Wan acted quickly enough, the other person still pulled the trigger first. A crisp gunshot rang out, and the deadly bullet whistled out, grazing Xia Wan's arm.

Fortunately, the bullet only caused Xia Wan minor superficial wounds and did not cause any more serious damage. But even so, it was enough to give her a fright.

After a fierce struggle, the situation was finally brought under control. Both opponents were weakened by their injuries, and Xia Wan and Wu Xiangdong acted swiftly, each firmly controlling one of them.

Just then, Xia Wan noticed that something was wrong with Wu Xiangdong. His face was pale, large beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, and he was swaying as if he were about to collapse.

Xia Wan was extremely anxious. Without hesitation, she kicked the person she was holding down hard, knocking him unconscious.

Then, disregarding everything else, she rushed towards where Wu Xiangdong was.

Take the person in his arms and knock him unconscious.

Wu Xiangdong finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if all the strength had been suddenly drained from his body. He relaxed completely, his back slowly leaning against the cold wall. He gasped for breath and murmured, "Thank you... comrade."

Just then, Xia Wan quickly looked around and, finding no one else nearby, reached out and forcefully ripped off the mask covering her face.

"Brother Xiangdong, are you alright? Can you still hold on? Shall I take you to the hospital?" Xia Wan stared wide-eyed at Wu Xiangdong, who was covered in wounds and looked utterly disheveled, her voice filled with anxiety and worry.

"Xia...Xia Wan? How could it be you?" Wu Xiangdong stared at Xia Wan in astonishment, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

He never imagined that the person who had just swiftly and cleanly defeated two spies and saved his life would be Xia Wan!

Xia Wan appeared calm, merely smiling nonchalantly before her gaze quickly fell upon the wounds on Wu Xiangdong's body that were constantly oozing blood. She then gently tapped them with her finger, her tone soft yet firm.

"I just happened to be passing by when I heard the sounds of fighting. I felt something was wrong, so I rushed over to check it out. I never expected it would be you in trouble, Brother Xiang Dong. I'd better take you to the hospital first; you've lost a lot of blood."

Although on the surface these wounds do not seem to pose a immediate threat to Wu Xiangdong's life, blood continues to gush from the wounds, and if the situation continues to worsen, it is likely to become increasingly serious.

However, Wu Xiangdong had regained some strength by this time. He gritted his teeth, covered the injured area tightly with his hand, and slowly stood up despite the pain, his eyes firm.

"No, we have to go to the police station first. We have to get these two guys there."

These two are spies; we absolutely cannot let them escape or cause any mishaps. Only by handing them over to trustworthy people can we ensure absolute safety.

Seeing his determination to send the two to the police station first, Xia Wan immediately realized that this was no small matter.

Fortunately, the road to the hospital passes by a police station, so if we act quickly, the wound can be treated as soon as possible.

“Alright, let’s go then. I’ll go with you to take them there.” It wasn’t that Xia Wan liked to meddle, but seeing Wu Xiangdong’s unsteady and swaying gait, she realized that he couldn’t possibly drag two adult men by himself.

Wu Xiangdong knew that his current situation did not allow him to push himself, so he could only nod gratefully and say, "Thank you!"

Xia Wan effortlessly dragged the two agents ahead, once again leaving Wu Xiangdong speechless with astonishment.

At the same time, they were also alert to the movements around them.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, she deliberately chose to travel through relatively secluded alleys, fearing that she might encounter the accomplices of these spies again.

Before long, they arrived at the police station.

As soon as Wu Xiangdong entered, he familiarly found a man named Liang Dawei and handed over the spies he was carrying to him.

Liang Dawei gave the two men a meaningful look, then waved his hand and immediately arranged for two police officers to accompany them to the hospital.

Seeing this, Xia Wan knew that there was no need for her help here, so she made up an excuse and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After all, this whole ordeal had already taken more than an hour, and the time for the food factory to release its results was getting closer and closer.

She decided to go to the state-run restaurant for a meal first. She had earned quite a few points today and was very happy, so she decided to treat herself to a good meal.

...

Meanwhile, in Huaihua Village, after a period of treatment, Old Man Xia was finally discharged from the hospital and returned home.

When he stepped into his home full of joy, he received news that left him speechless.

Xia Jianguo and his family have already moved away!

This sudden turn of events was like a bolt from the blue, striking Old Man Xia's fragile heart so hard that he almost fainted again.

Old Man Xia's face was full of anger, his eyes wide open, staring intently at Old Woman Xia standing to the side, his chest heaving violently as if he were about to explode at any moment.

He pointed at Old Lady Xia with a trembling finger, gritting his teeth as he questioned, "You...you...what exactly happened? How could you let them move out?"

Grandma Xia had been having a string of bad luck these past few days, with all sorts of troubles coming one after another. Seeing her husband's angry expression, all the grievances in her heart poured out like a flood bursting its banks.

With a mournful face, she began to ramble on to Old Man Xia, "Old man, you have no idea! That Xia Jianguo is absolutely outrageous! He didn't even give us a heads-up beforehand. He secretly got the brigade leader to repair that old house that no one lived in, and then he just moved away without a sound. By the time we found out, it was too late!"

As she spoke, Grandma Xia became increasingly excited, and her voice unconsciously rose eight octaves.

"What's even more outrageous is that when we went to him, he actually invited the brigade leader and the accountant to dinner! The brigade leader was bound by his hospitality, so of course he would only speak on his behalf!"

No matter what we said, they wouldn't listen at all and sent us back without a word.
