Before he could get close, Bai Yan was pulled back by Fang Siyan from behind, staggered, and thrown to the ground. Before he could react, a bullet grazed his shoulder. The young policeman behind him flipped over and leaped up, quickly subduing Huo Xiao.

"Fang Siyan, you hurt your shoulder!" Bai Yan saw the bright red blood on his shoulder.

"It's alright."

Fang Siyan clutched his wound, his brows furrowed as he looked at the terrified young policeman: "Don't underestimate criminals on the world's most wanted list. Their physical strength and reaction speed are top-notch."

The young policeman nodded, then said with lingering fear, "Chief Fang, thank goodness you were here."

Bai Yan and the others still needed to go to the police station to make a statement, and she glanced worriedly in Fang Siyan's direction.

Fang Siyan knew she was worried about him: "Go ahead, I'll come find you."

Bai Yan then nodded.

When they arrived at the police station, Bai Yan made up a simple excuse, saying that she had accidentally seen the wanted poster while browsing the internet, thought the person looked similar, and checked it. Since she had browsing history, the police didn't ask any further questions.

As for Ji An'an, although she is suspected of harboring a criminal, firstly, not everyone reads the wanted poster, and secondly, no evidence has been found.

“Ms. Ji An’an, even though you act in idol dramas, you shouldn’t just pick up any man and bring him home. It’s best to hand over a man with a gunshot wound like this to our police.”

Ji An'an could only nod hesitantly.

After everyone left the interrogation room, Ji An'an looked up and saw Bai Yan getting into the car. She chased after her and asked, "Why did you harm Huo Xiao?"

Bai Yan raised an eyebrow: "I harmed him? What are you talking about? Isn't reporting wanted criminals a citizen's duty?"

"That policewoman just said she was going to give me a bravery award."

"You!" Ji An'an felt a sense of resentment.

Feeling weightless and helpless, Bai Yan did not actually take Huo Xiao away, but she took him away in another way.

"I'm just a little worried about you, Sister Xiaoyan..." Ji An'an looked at Bai Yan, "Didn't those police officers just say that Huo Xiao's family seems to be quite powerful?"

"Do you think they'll retaliate against you if they find out?" She said it with concern, but her eyes were full of malice.

Bai Yan chuckled lightly: "You've forgotten about your Uncle Fang..."

“No, he’s mine now. Who is he?” Bai Yan looked at Ji An’an’s trembling hands and continued, “He will protect me.”

...

Bai family

The bullet only grazed Fang Siyan's shoulder; although he bled, the injury was not serious.

Fang Siyan's chest and abdomen were tense as he watched her apply the medicine to himself.

"Xiao Yan... I'm injured now, are you feeling any better?" Fang Siyan looked at her cautiously.

Bai Yan's face was tense, and after applying the medicine, she looked at him again.

"His bullet was at an angle that couldn't possibly hit me. Why did you try to block it?" Bai Yan frowned. "I don't believe you didn't know that."

That young policeman called him a sharpshooter.

Fang Siyan honestly shook his head: "It was just a conditioned reflex, I didn't think that much about it."

Bai Yan lowered her gaze slightly. Yes, he always valued her more than anything else; protecting her was already his instinct.

"Idiot." Bai Yan looked up.

"Xiao Yan!" Fang Siyan's eyes lit up with joy: "You don't blame me anymore, do you?"

Bai Yan snorted: What can you blame him for?

"Ji An'an and her mother are your benefactors, and you're her Uncle Fang..." Bai Yan looked at him and said with a smile, "Anyway, if I'm doing well, Ji An'an can't be doing well. Uncle Fang, don't you feel sorry for her?"

Fang Siyan immediately swore, "No, absolutely not!"

"Don't you feel that if you don't repay the kindness, you'll be going against your conscience? You're a soldier, after all." Bai Yan looked at him, her eyes full of warmth and her tone gentle.

Fang Siyan shook her head: "My heart is with you. I don't want you to suffer any harm, not even sadness."

However, Bai Yan also caught a hint of unease deep in his eyes.

She sighed softly. Although he had sided with her, he had still violated his principles. Bai Yan then turned his face away and said, "If you're going to repay a debt of gratitude, you should repay it in the right way."

"What?" Fang Siyan looked at her in confusion.

Bai Yan said, "You are an orphan. Ji An'an's biological mother took care of you in an orphanage when you were a child, right?"

“Yes.” He glanced at Bai Yan’s face: “I was sick at the time, and she took care of me.” The orphanage was also a dog-eat-dog world, and he could only form an alliance with Ji An’an’s mother, who was also thin. The two of them depended on each other for survival during that period.

"Fifty years ago, all the orphanages in the city were built with funding from the Bai family."

"Although I don't know which orphanage you were in, I think that even now, as long as you are in this city, no matter which orphanage you are in, you have all benefited from the Bai family's kindness." Old Master Bai was one of the first generation to become wealthy, and he believed in doing good deeds to benefit future generations.

Back then, both official media and entertainment newspapers reported on it.

“My surname is Bai, and my maternal grandfather’s money is my money. Without my money, how would Ji An’an’s mother support you? Do you admit that?”

Fang Siyan nodded.

Bai Yan then smiled and asked, "Then tell me, which debt of gratitude should we repay?"

Fang Siyan turned to look at her, his arm braced beside her, "Is a lifetime enough to repay your kindness?"

Bai Yan's hand landed on his powerful abs. His body was perfect, his muscles sexy and dangerous. Bai Yan gently blew on the wound on his shoulder: "Will this affect your repayment of the favor?"

Fang Siyan's voice was slightly hoarse: "You'll know once you try."

Trying it meant staying in bed all day...
