To be precise, he didn't want anyone to disturb him and Rou Rou.

Yan Yirou swallowed back the words "Aren't you going to stay?" that were on the tip of her tongue. Wu Bao had been busy for her all night and was pregnant, so she should go home and rest early.

"Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law," Gu Chenye said.

"Third Brother, we're family, so there's no need for such formalities." Shangguan Wu took his pulse, and after a moment, her delicate brows furrowed slightly. She withdrew her hand and said, "Your pulse is weak, which is caused by internal injury. I'll go home and write a recipe for a nourishing and restorative medicinal diet to complement your hospital treatment. It will be much more effective."

Gu Chenye also wanted to get better quickly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Shangguan Wu shook his head, glanced at the two of them, and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back."

Yan Yirou escorted her to the ward door and gave her a warm hug: "Wu Bao, thank you for your hard work."

Everything will be alright.

Shangguan Wu patted her back reassuringly.

Yan Yirou nodded firmly: "Okay, you should go back to sleep."

Shangguan Wu went back.

???

Ji Xianli was locked up overnight and was still furious, but in order to maintain his image as a young master from a prominent family, he could only curse Shangguan Wu in his heart.

That arrogant woman who relies on her master's power had better not fall into his hands, or he'll definitely pay tenfold!

Finally, the door opened from the outside, but before Ji Xianli could even feel happy, he was captured by Shangguan Wu's bodyguards and taken to the police station.

Ji Xianli was furious!

"Officer, I want to sue them for illegally detaining me!"

However, Du Wei produced a surveillance video.

“Officer, the reason we locked Mr. Ji up is twofold: first, to prevent him from contacting the kidnappers, and second, to avoid wasting police resources.”

Du Wei said methodically, "The whole story is in this surveillance video. The person who kidnapped Miss Yan was the leader of the Black Rider Assassin Group. This morning, when the Third Young Master of the Gu family was rescuing her, the other party shot at Miss Yan in an attempt to kill her and silence her. These are the bullets from that group, and we also have witnesses."

Du Wei then handed the bag containing the bullets to the police.

Police: This is the first time we've encountered such a 'thoughtful' person reporting a crime.

“We will rigorously verify the authenticity of this surveillance video. Both victims are at the Second People’s Hospital, right? We will send people there to take statements and learn more about the case. As for the suspect, Ji Xianli, according to regulations, we will detain him for 48 hours. Once his crime is confirmed, we will hand him over to the relevant departments for review and prosecution.”

"Thanks."

Du Wei still trusted the police.

After leaving the police station, he went straight home.

Ji Xianli was detained by the police, and only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter. He said sternly, "I will not say anything. I want to see my lawyer!"

About an hour later, the lawyer arrived.

Ji Xianli instructed his lawyer to immediately inform his parents that he did not want to go to jail!

After leaving the police station, the lawyer contacted Ji Xianli's parents. Upon learning that their son had been detained by the police in the capital, Ji Mingsheng, the eldest patriarch of the Ji family, and his wife Shen Xinrong, they immediately took a car to the airport.

On the way, Ji Mingsheng called his younger brother, Ji Mingjing.

"Mingjing, are you in the Imperial City?"

"Hmm. What's the matter?" Ji Mingjing already knew about Ji Xianli's arrest.

Ji Mingsheng said forcefully, "Do you know that Xianli has been arrested by the police? I don't care what methods you use, get him out of here first. Xianli can't take that kind of torture."

Ji Mingjing said calmly, "Brother, I don't have the ability to bail someone out of the police station."

"Mingjing! That's your nephew!"

"Even my father wouldn't do it."

Ji Mingsheng: "..."

Isn't his father his own father?

At this moment, Shen Xinrong snatched the phone and said, "Mingjing, I'm begging you, please. Xianli must have been wronged. How could he have kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Yan family?"

Ji Mingjing on the other end of the phone curled her lips sarcastically, her voice unchanged: "Sister-in-law, whether someone is innocent or not is not up to me or you to decide."

Shen Xinrong's face gradually darkened. She took a deep breath and said, "Then go to the Yan family and tell them that no matter what it is, our two families will settle it privately. The second daughter of the Yan family is pregnant with my Xianli's child. If they don't want things to get too ugly, they should go to the police station immediately to withdraw their report."

"Sister-in-law, I don't have your thick skin. You can say these things yourself. I hope you won't get beaten up."

Ji Mingjing hung up the phone after speaking.

At the same time, I turned off my phone.

He is indeed the head of the Ji family, but he's not someone who cleans up other people's messes.

Shen Xinrong stared at her phone in disbelief for a long time before turning to glare at Ji Mingsheng: "This is your good brother? Heh, he doesn't respect you as his older brother at all. He looks down on us and is even riding on our necks. Are you still going to live your life by putting up with his attitude?"

Ji Mingsheng didn't want to live under Ji Mingjing's thumb either, but he couldn't win against him. What could he do?

Ji Mingsheng was scolded by his wife like a quail.

Shen Xinrong vented her anger, but she was still furious.

The position of head of the Ji family originally belonged to her husband, but it was snatched away by that wolf cub Ji Mingjing!

Rongrong was originally her son's fiancée, but that wolf cub Ji Mingjing snatched her away!

How infuriating and hateful!

Since Ji Mingjing is bullying her husband and son like this, don't blame Shen Xinrong for being ruthless!

Just as Shen Xinrong was trying to figure out how to deal with Ji Mingjing, Ji Mingjing had already told Shangguan Wu about the arrival of the eldest branch of the Ji family in the capital.

Shangguan Wu yawned.

"Come on then."

Ji Xianli hired someone to kidnap another person, and the attempted murder failed. The evidence is conclusive, and no amount of intervention can change that!
