Upon hearing that Xiao Gengwu was injured, Dean Zhou quickly went to the courtyard to inform Xiao Yan. He had visited Granny Huang before and knew that Xiao Yan was now living in the courtyard.

When Xiao Yan heard that Xiao Gengwu had been stabbed, her limbs went weak and she could barely stand. Yao Yanxin had to support her, saying, "Let's go together, let's go see!"

Originally, Yao Tongxu was supposed to stay at home, but she absolutely refused to stay home alone and insisted on going with them. So the three of them, plus Zhou Kunran, set off as a group of four.

They were anxious and wished they could fly to the hospital. In addition, it was snowing and the roads were very slippery. Everyone was focused on walking and no one paid attention to what was happening on the side of the road.

They only realized they were surrounded when they were surrounded by a dozen or twenty people and couldn't move.

Zhou Kunran gestured for the three people around him to move closer and stay within his protective circle as much as possible!

The leader had a deep scar near his eye, a sign that he had narrowly escaped death; if the scar had been any longer, his eye would have been gone.

The scarred man asked in a nonchalant tone, "Which of you is Yao Yanxin?"

When Yao Yanxin heard her name called, she was about to step forward when Xiao Yan pushed her away, saying, "I am Yao Yanxin. What do you want?"

"So this is what you look like? No wonder Commander Ruan didn't want you anymore!"

Yao Yanxin felt her head spinning: "What did you say? Brother Peng is back?"

"So you're Yao Yanxin? You're prettier than the previous one, but your face is so foxy, no wonder you couldn't hold on and ran off with some other man!"

"Brother Peng? What right do you have to call someone Brother Peng? You've already been divorced, and Commander Ruan has remarried and had a daughter. You can't be so shameless!"

"We're here today to teach you a lesson, you shameless bastard! Let's go! There's no need to hold back against someone as promiscuous as you!"

After saying that, several people rushed over!

When Zhou Kunran saw the people rushing over, he had no choice but to fight back. There were so many of them, and he could only finish them off quickly by throwing punches and kicking them away.

But two fists can't fight four hands, and he also had to look after the three people behind him, so he could only grit his teeth, tear open a hole, and push Yao Tongxu out: "Go call the police!"

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and there will inevitably be very few people at work. He didn't really have any hope; he just hoped that as many people as he could leave, that would be one more.

Someone tried to chase after them, but he pulled them back. He didn't care about the two people behind him. Those men were really ruthless; they even beat up the two women.

They even specifically targeted Yao Yanxin's face, saying as they hit her, "You bitch, our Brigade Commander Ruan treated you so well, how dare you betray her? If murder weren't illegal, I would kill you right now!"

Yao Yanxin, a delicate woman, was no match for the other man, even if she was strong. Her face was quickly slapped until she lost consciousness.

No one hit Xiao Yan, but seeing her friend being beaten, she certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch, so she joined Yao Yanxin in wildly waving her hands and hitting people.

She wouldn't stay quiet, so of course she got beaten up too!

When Zhou Kunran finished fighting and came to provide support, he saw someone take out a knife and try to slash Yao Yanxin's face. He immediately rushed over and kicked the knife away.

Of the twenty-odd people, only two were still standing. Knowing they had no chance of winning, and seeing their target beaten to a pulp, they didn't try to be brave.

However, he still threatened, "Yao Yanxin, I'll beat you every time I see you. Beijing is our base."

"This is just a warning to you, not a threat to your lives. You'd better not set foot in Beijing and disturb Commander Ruan's happy life! Otherwise, you'll see!"

The people arrived out of nowhere and retreated just as quickly. By the time someone came out to see what was going on, only three people who had been beaten remained.

Yao Yanxin felt as if her bones had been removed, her whole body weak as she leaned against Xiao Yan, her eyes devoid of light, like a stagnant pool.

Xiao Yan couldn't hold back her tears. When she left Beijing with Yao Yanxin, she abandoned everything in Beijing, including that man.

Such a weak-willed person is not worth her affection!

But she always knew that Yao Yanxin had not let go of that man. She had been waiting for her Peng Ge to come to her. This had been her belief for more than ten years!

At this moment, her faith collapsed, and she felt utterly hopeless. This was even more unbearable than physical pain!

Xiao Yan quickly comforted him, "You still have two children, try to think more positively! That kind of man isn't worth your lingering feelings!"

Yao Yanxin stood up from Xiao Yan and wiped away her tears: "Let's go to the hospital to see Geng'er. We don't know how he is. Let's go!"

Xiao Yan hugged her tenderly, and the two walked forward: "Try to think positively!"

Yao Yanxin burst into tears again, the tears flowing over her wounds, making the pain even stronger: "It's okay, I've been mentally prepared for all these years since they last came looking for me!"

Why does my heart ache so much? Has the person who was always so devoted to me disappeared? Will he only have eyes for others from now on?

Just then, Yao Tongxu ran back: "There's only one person guarding the gate at the police station, and he said he can't run anymore!"

Everyone: "..."

Seeing her mother's heartbroken face, Yao Tongxu said, "Mom, you must be in a lot of pain. I should have stayed!"

Yao Yanxin patted his hand: "It's okay, they came here today specifically to warn me! He's just afraid I'll cling to him. I have my pride too, if he doesn't need me, I'll just let it go!"

Yao Tongxu grabbed her mother's hand: "Mom, Dad doesn't want you, but my sister and I do. He just doesn't understand how good you are. My sister and I will never acknowledge him again!"

Yao Yanxin hugged her son tenderly: "Mom has never done anything to betray your father. Don't believe what they say!"

“Mom, I know. They say you can always find a reason to accuse someone. It’s obvious that my good dad cheated on me, but he doesn’t want to admit his mistake.”

"They insist it's your fault. That's how people are; they never do anything wrong and it's always someone else's fault. Mom, don't take it to heart. Let's go see Brother Xiao!"

Reminded by Yao Tongxu, everyone hurried on their way. There was no point in investigating an unfaithful man; they could just get rid of him!

When I arrived at the hospital, the surgery was already over. It was just a matter of stitching up my intestines. It wasn't a major operation, but because I had lost too much blood beforehand, and they were worried about infection, I was going to be hospitalized tonight.

Yao Tongjia was anxious because her family hadn't arrived yet, and she was shocked when she finally saw them.

"Mom, what happened to you? Who hit you like that?"

Yao Yanxin's face was so bruised and purple, it was terrifying. Her eyes were so swollen that you could hardly see them!

Xiao Yan asked about her son's condition and was relieved to learn that it was just a ruptured small intestine. As a surgeon, she knew it was a minor issue.

Seeing her son sleeping peacefully, she took out the disinfectant: "Yan Yan, let me disinfect you, it might hurt a little!"

Yao Yanxin sat down: "It's okay, I'm not a child, what's there to be afraid of in pain!"

Yao Tongjia watched as her master applied medicine to her mother, then pulled Yao Tongxu aside to ask what was going on. Yao Tongxu said angrily, "Our father sent someone over and said today was just a warning!"
