"Shut up!" Ruan Wanyi's chest heaved with anger. "Zhan Huaisheng, I never imagined you would be so heartless as to want your own grandson's life!"

She belatedly realized what was going on and looked at him in disbelief. "Don't tell me you've been the mastermind behind everything all along! No, that can't be... Wasn't it said that Jingting's grandfather was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"My father died a long time ago, how could he be alive now? And me..." Zhan Huaisheng chuckled faintly, "Wanyi, if you knew how I survived, you would be heartbroken..."

"I believe you must have suffered a lot, but how could you be so ruthless in order to survive?" Ruan Wanyi burst into tears. "I can ignore what you do, but you can't hurt Eleven!"

"He's my precious grandson. He looks exactly like Jingting when he was little. How could you do this!"

"Only one of us can live, are you going to just watch me die!" Zhan Huaisheng coaxed gently, "Wanyi, we separated after only a few years of marriage. You love me so much that you haven't remarried yet. Don't you want to spend the rest of your life by my side and grow old with me?"

"If you're not dead, why are you hiding? Why don't you go home?" Ruan Wanyi was both aggrieved and angry. "You know I love you, and you know that, yet you still leave me? Do you know how much pain I felt after I thought you were dead? I felt like I was living a life worse than death. If it weren't for Jingting, I would have ended it all long ago!"

"Zhan Huaisheng, I will never forgive you, never!"

“I know you won’t forgive me. I came back this time to make it up to you for the rest of my life. But Wanyi, the prerequisite for making it up to you is that I must live first. Be good and give me the child.”

"No!" Ruan Wanyi hugged Eleven tightly in her arms. "I told you, this is Jingting's child, my own grandson. If you want to harm him today, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

"Wanyi, don't force me."

"What do you mean?" Ruan Wanyi frowned. "You really want to kill me?"

Zhan Huaisheng didn't say anything, but simply raised his hand. The bodyguards behind him immediately stepped forward and snatched Eleven from Ruan Wanyi's arms!

"What are you doing? Stop! Don't touch my grandson!" Ruan Wanyi hugged Eleven tightly, but she was no match for the strength of the two big men!

Eleven, who was fast asleep, was quickly awakened and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Eleven! Grandma is so sorry! Grandma was tricked, sob sob..."

Shiyi was quickly taken out of Ruan Wanyi's arms, and she cried out in despair, "Zhan Huaisheng, don't touch my grandson! I'm begging you! Zhan Huaisheng!"

Zhan Huaisheng remained unmoved and instructed his bodyguard, "Go and call the medical team to prepare for a blood transfusion."

"yes."

Just as the bodyguard was about to carry Eleven away, a gunshot rang out!

The bodyguard who was holding Eleven was shot in the leg and fell to the ground!

Eleven also fell down, but quickly got up and ran into Ruan Wanyi's arms, "Grandma!"

"Eleven!" Ruan Wanyi hugged him tightly!

Before anyone could react, the door was suddenly kicked open, and Zhan Jingting strode in, gun in hand, followed by dozens of bodyguards, all armed, who took control of the scene!

"Mommy!" Eleven saw Qiao Wanwan at a glance.

"Eleven, are you alright?" Qiao Wanwan stepped forward to check Eleven's body. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Mommy, Eleven wasn't hurt."

"It's alright, Daddy and Mommy are here to save you, don't be afraid."

"Hmm." Eleven looked at the person sitting in the wheelchair opposite her. "Mommy, who is this? He's so scary..."

The legendary healer took a closer look and immediately recognized him. "Wanwan, it's him! This is the person I treated on the island!"

A flash of hatred crossed Qiao Wanwan's eyes. She took a gun from the bodyguard and pointed it at him!

"No!" Ruan Wanyi hurriedly stood up and rushed in front of Zhan Huaisheng to protect him. "Wanwan, don't kill him!"

"Get out of my way!" Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "He's the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. My child is still missing! He kidnapped my master and made him suffer for so many years. I can't let him get away with this so easily!"

Ruan Wanyi shook her head, crying, "No, you can't kill him, you can't!"

"Wanwan, calm down first." The Ghost Hand Doctor snatched the gun from Qiao Wanwan's hand. "Let's see who this person is first."

Ruan Wanyi then slowly turned around, looked at the man in the wheelchair, and raised her hand to take off the hat on his head.

Beneath the hat was a head of gray hair, and Ruan Wanyi was immediately startled!

Zhan Huaisheng was still wearing a thick black mask. Ruan Wanyi's hands trembled involuntarily. She mustered up a lot of courage before raising her hand to take off his mask. When she saw his face, she was so frightened that she took a step back!

Qiao Wanwan took a closer look and was also startled!

The old man in the wheelchair had wrinkled skin, looking about eighty or ninety years old. Moreover, it didn't look like normal aging; his skin was dry like tree bark and had snake-like patterns, making him look extremely creepy!

Eleven was so frightened that she clung to Qiao Wanwan's leg, trembling, "Mommy, I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, sweetheart." Qiao Wanwan hugged him to comfort him. "It's okay, Daddy and Mommy are here."

She looked at the Ghost Hand Doctor, "Master, didn't you say this person was around sixty years old? He looks much older than sixty..."

Zhan Huaisheng chuckled softly, "Wanyi, you're afraid of me... Yes, let alone you, even I would be startled when I look in the mirror..."
