Shangguan Wu was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night. She was still groggy, but she was fully awake when she heard the words "save people".

Saving lives is like putting out a fire.

Shangguan Wu quickly got up.

Ten minutes later, she took a car to the address Qin Yiheng had sent her.

Shangguan Wu looked at Du Wei and Meng Wen in the front row.

"Thank you for your help."

"Protecting the young lady is our duty, it's what we should do."

In fact, going on missions in the middle of the night used to be commonplace for Du Wei and his team. It was only after they started working alongside Shangguan Wu that they returned to a normal life.

It was nearly 3 a.m., and there were hardly any cars on the road.

Du Wei kept her speed within the speed limit and sped along the road.

It took half an hour to reach Qin Yiheng's private villa.

When Shangguan Wu saw Gu Yilou there, she was extremely surprised. These two were together in the middle of the night. Was a good thing about to happen?

Her lively eyes and expressive face were all noticed by Qin Yiheng and Gu Yilou.

Even though Gu Yilou was mentally prepared, he was still extremely embarrassed, after all, he and Aheng hadn't done anything.

He coughed twice and pleaded, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to save this person."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," Shangguan Wu said, coming back to her senses.

Qin Yiheng gave Gu Yilou a deep look before saying to Shangguan Wu, "Come with me."

"Oh oh oh~"

Shangguan Wu realized he had been exposed and quickly followed him.

By this time, the middle-aged woman had moved from the basement to a room on the first floor.

Qin Yiheng led her into the room.

Is there any hope?

"If he's not dead, he can be saved."

Shangguan Wu always speaks his mind when he's with his own people.

She glanced at the middle-aged woman's face, then took her pulse. Having a plan in mind, she took out her silver needle pouch.

Seeing that she was about to receive acupuncture, Qin Yiheng silently turned and left.

As soon as Shangguan Wu administered the first needle, he noticed that the other person's eyelid moved.

She won't experience any illusions while receiving acupuncture.

This is her professionalism.

Therefore, middle-aged women are definitely clear-headed.

Shangguan Wu narrowed his eyes, and the second silver needle was quickly and accurately inserted into the Shen Ting acupoint, which was five fen (approximately 3.5 cm) from the hairline on the middle-aged woman's head.

Shenting is the meeting point of the Ren and Du meridians and the Bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang.

Being hit by it can cause dizziness and headaches.

The middle-aged woman instantly felt as if countless ants were gnawing at her brain; she felt dizzy, bloated, and extremely painful.

If she weren't exceptionally resilient to pain, she would have fainted by now.

The middle-aged woman broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that if she didn't grab Shangguan Wu now, she would have no chance. But her head was throbbing so badly that she could no longer put her raised hand down.

"Don't move around, or it will hurt even more."

Shangguan Wu reminded her in a light tone.

Hearing her speak, Qin Yiheng, who was standing at the door, strode in with a flustered expression, shielding Shangguan Wu behind him, his sharp eyes fixed on the middle-aged woman: "When did you wake up?"

He believed in his younger cousin's medical skills.

But given the middle-aged woman's severe injuries, it seemed too miraculous and coincidental that her younger cousin woke up in less than two minutes after entering the room.

Unless the person was already awake!

Qin Yiheng's guess was correct; the middle-aged woman was already conscious when they were in the basement.

She pretended to be unconscious so that Shangguan Wu would come to her.

The root of the problem lies with Shangguan Wu.

If we get rid of her, the Qin and Gu families will inevitably be thrown into chaos.

Unfortunately, she was exposed before she could even make a move.

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and endured the excruciating pain, her angry eyes filled with a desire to tear Shangguan Wu to pieces!

Already weakened by her injuries, she resembled a sick cat with its claws pulled out.

Take advantage of her illness and kill her.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shangguan Wu hypnotized her and removed the silver needles.

"Okay...oh..."

Shangguan Wu yawned, a tear welling up from the corner of her eye. She wiped it away, looked up, and said, "Big cousin, ask her whatever you want. I'm going back to sleep."

Anyway, the middle-aged woman won't die anytime soon, so she should get some sleep first.

Qin Yiheng said gently, "You've worked hard. I've prepared a room for you on the second floor. The one at the end of the corridor on the right is yours. Go to sleep."

"Thank you, cousin."

Shangguan Wu walked out of the room and saw Gu Yilou walking towards her.

Gu Yilou looked at Shangguan Wu, whose eyelids were drooping, and said, "Sister-in-law, a late-night snack has been prepared in the dining room. Would you like some?"

"Night snack?"

Shangguan Wu yawned again and shook his head: "No, brother, you guys eat, I'm going to sleep."

Gu Yilou said apologetically, "You've had a hard night, go to sleep now."

Um……

The eldest brother and the eldest cousin said almost the same thing.

Shangguan Wu's lips curled up.

Perhaps because he was thinking about saving people, Shangguan Wu didn't sleep soundly and woke up after only two hours.

She got up and went downstairs.

She entered the middle-aged woman's room, turned on the light, and before the woman could wake up, she knocked her unconscious with a needle, saving herself the trouble of wasting time talking nonsense.

Shangguan Wu began to give her acupuncture.

When the acupuncture was over, Shangguan Wu put away the needles and went outside, only to find Qin Yiheng leaning against the wall by the door with his arms crossed.

"Big cousin? What are you doing here?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Yiheng's eye twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Little cousin, can we make a deal and do it after dawn?"

Shangguan Wu blinked: "...Did I wake you up?"

Qin Yiheng had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed when he heard a noise outside. When he went out to check, he saw his cousin coming downstairs.

Isn't it said that pregnant women are prone to sleepiness?
