Chapter 39: Don't Bully My Mom

With a gunshot, the driver sitting on the left front slumped down, his fate unknown.

With a loud bang, the car lost control and crashed into a large rock beside it, forcing it to stop.

At the last moment, Nan Jiao held Yan Yan tightly in her arms.

Fortunately, neither of them was injured.

Yan Yan's ears perked up, and she looked around keenly.

"Don't be afraid, Mom is here..."

Nan Jiao first comforted Yan Yan, then locked the car door and quickly removed Lu Xiao from the blacklist, sending him a message and address.

Just as I was about to call the police, the car door was pried open from the outside.

Several fierce-looking orcs stood outside, all with their faces covered and dressed in the same clothes, appearing to be from the same organization.

Interstellar thief.

Nan Jiao suddenly thought of this.

Trying to suppress the fear in her heart, she hugged Yan Yan even tighter: "Who are you?"

"Hand him over," the leader said. "Otherwise, you'll die too."

Nan Jiao didn't speak; she could feel her heart racing, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

There was no fear in Lu Yanyan's eyes, only some tension. He raised his head: "Your target is me, right? I can go with you, but don't hurt... innocent people."

“No!” Nan Jiao said, “What do you want? Star coins, right? We can discuss it.”

"Star coins? We're not your average interstellar thieves; that's too vulgar."

"What do you want?" Nan Jiao asked eagerly, knowing that she could only negotiate if she understood the other party's needs.

"We want the little one in your arms."

Yan Yan turned to look at Nan Jiao: "I... I'll go with them. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."

"No!" Nan Jiao tightened her grip on him.

How could she possibly let Yan Yan go with this group of vicious-looking guys, especially since they had just killed the driver? What if they did something to harm Yan Yan...?

"Hey, don't be so stubborn. Although our organization has rules against killing females, if you really don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for sending you on your way!" A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

As they were speaking, someone rudely came over and tried to snatch it.

Nan Jiao's eyes widened, and she lunged forward again, grabbing Yan Yan's arm: "Let go of him!"

Due to organizational rules, these men were getting impatient with Nan Jiao's persistent harassment, so they pulled out a pistol and held it to Nan Jiao's forehead:

"It's such a pity that someone so beautiful died so young. You'd better behave yourself, or we won't mind killing another orc."

As if to give Nan Jiao a warning, the gun barrel slowly moved to her shoulder, and just as he was about to fire, a figure as fast as lightning knocked the pistol away from him.

"Don't touch my mom!"

Nan Jiao stared at the scene before her in disbelief.

Yan Yan transformed into her beast form and broke free from the men's restraints, then engaged them in a fierce battle.

Nan Jiao's heart was in her throat, and her hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Yanyan's prototype is a black panther, inheriting her father's agility and explosive power.

Young orcs are no match for mature orcs.

But Yan Yan used her agility to outmaneuver them and dodge the gunfire.

With a scream, Yan Yan seized the opportunity to bite one of them by the neck. The beastman still retained his primal wildness, especially when hunting. His sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the most vulnerable part of the neck, tearing off a piece of flesh.

Upon seeing Nan Jiao, the orc realized the situation was dire and immediately drew his gun. He was positioned far from Yan Yan, making it difficult for her to attack him.

aim……

Seeing this, Nan Jiao suddenly rushed over and tackled him to the ground, then picked up a stone and threw it at his face.

Rashly provoking the enemy could very well lead to a terrible outcome, but Nan Jiao couldn't care less about that. Her maternal instincts caused her adrenaline to surge, making it impossible for her to think about anything else.

She had only one thought: she absolutely could not allow anyone to harm her child.

"Holy crap, do you want to die?!"

The orc easily pushed Nan Jiao away, and with his eyes completely blurred by blood, he reached for his pistol.

Nan Jiao grabbed his pistol faster and fired at him.

One shot, two shots, three shots...

Only when the orc fell straight down did Nan Jiao wake up as if from a dream, panting for breath.

She immediately searched for Yan Yan's figure, and her fingers trembled when she saw that Yan Yan was surrounded.

She rarely fired a gun and aimed at two of them.

Fortunately, she hit the target; she had used up all her bullets.

Seeing that all his brothers were dead, leaving only his leader, he was furious. He grabbed Yan Yan by the neck and his face was contorted with rage: "Die, all of you!"

"don't want!!"

Nan Jiao heard her own shrill voice.

Suddenly, two gunshots rang out. The eldest brother's eyes widened as he fell to the ground, his grip on Yan Yan's hand weakening.

Nan Jiao rushed over and hugged the little black leopard tightly: "Yan Yan, Yan Yan... are you alright? Don't scare Mommy..."

Yan Yan transformed into human form and fainted in Nan Jiao's arms.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded beside him. Lu Xiao put away his gun and picked up Nan Jiao and Yan Yan together.

"Lu Xiao, why did you only come now! Why did you only come now!" Nan Jiao accused him through tears, pounding her fist on his chest.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry..." Lu Xiao's voice sounded dry and trembling. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, feeling the dampness on her face.

Turning around and seeing the doctor rushing over, Lu Xiao said anxiously, "Quick, take a look."

A minute later, Yasuo packed up his equipment: "Young Master only has some scrapes. He must have been too shocked to pass out. He'll be fine when he wakes up."

Nan Jiao's heart finally settled down, and she accepted Yasuo's bandaging of her wound.

*

Lu Xiao went to thoroughly investigate who those people were, while Nan Jiao stared blankly at Yan Yan on the bed, holding his little hand, her heart filled with relief.

"Yan Yan, please wake up soon..."

Thinking of how Yan Yan transformed into a beast to save him, and the words he shouted.

She was very confused.

If Yan Yan really hates me that much, then why would she risk her life to save me? That doesn't make sense.

Her head, worn from continuous labor, throbbed whenever she tried to think, and she felt her thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic.

Suddenly the butler's voice rang out: "Princess, you've arrived."

Nan Jiao turned around and saw Feng Ran.

Feng Ran's heart skipped a beat when she saw Nan Jiao's face.

Why would she be here taking care of Lu Yanyan?

Could it be that my plan has been exposed?

"You, what are you doing here?"

"I am Yan Yan's mother, shouldn't I be here?"
