After entering the city, Jiang Xun noticed that Qin Jin'an was acting strangely.

After he dismounted, he carried Qin Jin'an down and noticed that her face was very red.

"Fish Baby, are you alright?"

Jiang Xun inquired with concern.

"Brother, I have a headache... and I feel a little dizzy."

Qin Jin'an spoke weakly, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Looking at Jiang Xun, she felt like there were two of him.

Jiang Xun reached out and touched Qin Jin'an's forehead; it was burning hot.

Qin Jin'an has a high fever.

Jiang Xun immediately instructed the others to go back and report, while he took Qin Jin'an to the clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, the doctor immediately looked puzzled: "What tore this scalp from? It's really strange. There's no wound, just a slight strain, but the force shouldn't be this small. It doesn't seem like it was pulled by a person."

Jiang Xun didn't know how to explain it; it would be hard for anyone to believe him if he told them.

Let's just not talk about it.

Qin Jin'an had already fallen into a deep sleep.

After she took the antipyretic medicine, Qin Shi and Qin Tianhai arrived.

The black dog seemed very sad and worried, whimpering incessantly around Qin Jin'an, and also seemed very uneasy.

The tiger's aura had not yet dissipated.

The white-spotted creature was naturally afraid, but this was its owner.

No amount of fear can compare to the worry in my heart.

"Young Master Jiang, thank you very much."

Qin thanked Jiang Xun gratefully. She couldn't fall asleep at all that night, and even if she tried to force herself to sleep so she could see her baby in her dreams, she couldn't.

They learned that officials had come to report that the child had been rescued, but was feeling unwell and was in the clinic.

She and her father rushed over, their hearts finally at ease when they saw Qin Jin'an.

Jiang Xun nodded slightly to Madam Qin and said, "Aunt Qin, there's no need for thanks. I didn't save Yu Bao."

Jiang Xun recounted what he had seen in detail to Madam Qin.

Both Qin Shi and Qin Tianhai were surprised after hearing this.

"No matter what, I should thank you."

After Qin came to her senses, she smiled at Jiang Xun. Jiang Xun said that he hadn't done anything, but he had done a lot.

When they came back, they protected her precious baby and took her precious baby to the clinic; they deserve our gratitude.

"Then I'll head back first. I'll leave Yu Bao in your care," Jiang Xun said politely with a smile.

Qin nodded.

Qin Tianhai escorted Jiang Xun out.

Jiang Xun cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Mr. Qin, there's no need to see me off. Please go back now."

Qin Tianhai nodded, and Jiang Xun mounted his horse and left, as he still needed to go back to assist Xiao Yuebai in investigating the case.

Qin Tianhai returned to the clinic, and Qin Shi stayed by his bedside.

"Father, I'm very worried."

Qin held Qin Jin'an's small hand, but she was not at ease; instead, she was very worried.

Jiang Xun said that when he arrived, there was a tiger next to his daughter.

And all around were sharp weapons like arrows.

The alien race that took the daughter away earlier couldn't possibly give up halfway; it's just that the daughter didn't want to go with them, so they couldn't take her away anymore.

After she couldn't take her daughter away, she made a tough decision. Although she ultimately didn't harm her daughter in the slightest, Qin Shi couldn't rest easy and always felt that things wouldn't just end like that.

"Don't worry, we have a way to deal with whatever comes our way."

Qin Tianhai reached out and stroked Qin's hair.

This child is the apple of his daughter's eye.

Qin Tianhai pondered to himself, "No matter what the problem is, there's always a way to solve it."

But for the time being, he couldn't think of a usable solution.

Because they are not facing just one person, but an entire nation.

That night, Qin stayed by Qin Jin'an's side, just as she had done whenever she was sick in the past.

After getting the medicine from the clinic and remembering the doctor's instructions, Qin Tianhai carried Qin Jin'an on his back, while Qin Shi carried the medicine back to the courtyard together.

This time, unlike before, Qin Jin'an was genuinely ill.

She started sneezing when she woke up the next day.

She carried a warm water bag in her arms. It was a leather water bag filled with boiling water, and the opening was tied to keep her hands and feet warm.

She nestled obediently in bed.

When it was time to eat, Qin set up a small table on her bed, and she would sit on the bed to eat and drink chicken soup.

It's warm and smells nice.

My scalp still hurts a bit.

When Qin applied the medicine to her, she felt so sorry for her that she shed tears.

Qin Jin'an smiled and nuzzled Qin Shi, saying, "Mother, Brother Tiger didn't do it on purpose. He just wanted to comb my hair, but he just doesn't know how."

Qin knew that none of the animals that were friends with Qin Jin'an would harm her.

"My dear child, I know, but you are my daughter. It hurts my heart to see you hurt."

Qin's touch was very light; fortunately, the injury was minor.

Tigers are ferocious beasts, and Qin knew that it must have restrained itself, otherwise it wouldn't have been just a small injury, but its entire scalp would have been torn apart.

"You should stay home and rest for the next few days."

After applying the medicine to Qin Jin'an, Qin Shi kissed Qin Jin'an's forehead and said gently.

She hasn't gone out these past few days.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Mother."

Qin Jin'an nodded obediently.

She ate her fill, slept in a warm bed, and when she got bored, she would let Bai Diandian come into the bed to keep her company.

White Spot is truly the best dog; it's intelligent, can read, and has the best temperament in the world.

She pinched its paws, and it smiled.

She pinched its belly, and it smiled.

She patted its chubby bottom, and it smiled even more.

Five days later, Xiao Yuebai and Jiang Xun secretly came to the courtyard to see Qin Jin'an, who was eating.

"My lord, young master Jiang, please wait a moment while I go and bring my daughter over."

Qin spoke gently.

Xiao Yuebai smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright, we can talk in her room."

Fortunately, Qin Jin'an was only a five-year-old girl, so there weren't too many rules and regulations.

As they entered, Qin Jin'an was feeding Bai Diandian meatballs.

Like a thief caught red-handed, he silently hid his head to one side.

Qin Jin'an blinked and said, "Mom, I only give you a little bit after I've eaten my fill."

Bai Dian Dian has a sweet tooth and knows how to play the victim.

It wanted to eat, but it wouldn't chase after Qin Jin'an for food; it would just sit beside her and look at her with its wet eyes.

Qin Jin'an couldn't help but feel sorry for it and often fed it.

But she is currently ill, and Qin has told her not to feed her.

Now that he'd been caught, Qin Jin'an obediently admitted his mistake, while Bai Diandian buried herself under the covers to minimize her presence.

"I really can't do anything with you. It's not that I don't allow you to feed it, but it's bad for Baidian's health if it gets fat. There are a lot of bad people outside, and it would be very dangerous if it accidentally got caught."

Qin couldn't bear to blame him, so she gently explained to Qin Jin'an.

She knew she hadn't been feeding him enough lately, and the white-spotted baby wasn't getting enough to eat.

But it was too fat, and its skin was shiny and oily. Qin was worried that one day it would be caught and eaten.

Even the smartest dog is just a dish in the eyes of those with ill intentions.

"Waaah—"

Master, I won't eat it anymore. I'll eat less. I was wrong.

It will no longer play the victim; it doesn't want to be eaten by anyone else, and if anyone is to be eaten, it can only be its owner.

"Yu Bao, there's something I need to ask you about your kidnapping."

Jiang Xun smiled at Qin Jin'an, then got down to business.

He told Qin Jin'an about Li Hu turning himself in; Li Hu is still in custody.
