Sister-in-law Zhou and Sister Li responded and hurriedly ran outside, but before they even reached the Xie family, they ran into Xie Lanshen.

"Chief Xie! Zhihuan is still guarding the courtyard inside. You should go find her quickly, and we'll go report to the police station."

Xie Lan nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then quickened his pace and ran deeper into the alley.

Unexpectedly, he arrived so quickly. Shen Zhihuan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly gave the order:

"Tong Xinyue has been knocked unconscious by me using needles, so she'll be fine for now. You should send men to arrest Qiu Shanshan and her family immediately. We absolutely cannot give the enemy agents a chance to escape!"

The information provided by Shen Ling proved to be a great help this time. They acted quickly, catching everyone off guard.

When Xie Lanshen contacted the troops to mobilize, the enemy agents were completely unaware of what had happened and were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Upon receiving the news, the police arrived immediately and took Tong Xinyue away to await further action.

The courtyard was noisy all afternoon, and it didn't quiet down until nightfall.

The neighbors sat in the courtyard, enjoying the cool evening air and dinner while discussing the day's events.

Everyone knew that Tong Xinyue and Qiu Shanshan were enemy spies, except for Wang Yulian, who was still kept in the dark.

She didn't want to see Shen Ling, and in order to avoid the responsibility of taking care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, she kept running around outside until late at night before returning home.

But as soon as they entered the courtyard, they found it completely empty, without a single person in sight.

Wang Yulian was stunned on the spot, and couldn't help but curse a couple of times.

"Yu Chuan came back a long time ago, it must be that Shen Ling, she's always causing trouble and never stays still, she must have driven him away again!"

"Just wait and see how I deal with her once I find her!"

Wang Yulian knocked on her neighbor's door and inquired about the whereabouts of her family.

Waking up in the middle of the night, the neighbor wasn't angry at all; instead, she looked at her with a meaningful expression and said:

"Your daughter-in-law has been taken to the hospital for bleeding. Your son is probably watching over her right now. Go to the hospital and find them."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yulian's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sense of foreboding.

She didn't dare to delay for a moment. After finding out the address, she rushed to the hospital and happened to run into Shen Ling being wheeled out of the operating room.

Wang Yulian was about to ask about the baby in her belly when Shen Ling turned her gaze away without even looking at her, instead turning to Gu Yuchuan standing to the side.

"How's the situation? Have Qiu Shanshan and Tong Xinyue been caught yet?"

Gu Yuchuan's face twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod stammeringly.

"We've caught them."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Shen Ling's tense emotions relaxed, and she fainted with relief.

Seeing that Shen Ling was wheeled away by medical staff before she could even say a word, Wang Yulian was completely bewildered.

"What are you talking about? What does her miscarriage have to do with Xinyue and Qiu Shanshan?"

Gu Yuchuan didn't answer, but just sat there pale-faced, his eyes empty as if he were dead.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

Seeing how worried he was, Wang Yulian quickly sat down beside him and asked with concern:

"What exactly happened?"

Gu Yuchuan's lips trembled, and it was as if he had finally found his voice before he began to tell her about what had happened that day.

"It's all over, everything is over. Tong Xinyue's parents have already been summoned by the police, and now it's our turn."

He covered his face, looking bewildered, wanting to cry but unable to.

"If my business clients find out about this, they will definitely terminate their cooperation with us. How could I possibly come up with such a large sum of compensation!"

It wasn't just the compensation; Tong Xinyue was an enemy agent, and the two of them not only maintained close contact frequently, but he even used the money she gave him. It could be said that they were completely bound together.

In this situation, it's uncertain whether the mother and child will survive.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Wang Yulian.

"What sins has our family committed to be dragged down like this by that little bitch Tong Xinyue?"

"If I had known it would end up like this, I would have insisted on separating you two no matter what."

Wang Yulian was on the verge of fainting from crying. Gu Yuchuan was already annoyed enough, and having to listen to his mother's nagging only made him more emotionally distraught.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

This incident had a tremendous impact on Shen Ling.

After the surgery, she slept for a whole day before finally waking up.

The ward was empty, and Shen Ling had no one to take care of her except a nurse standing by her bed, adjusting her IV drip.

Seeing that Shen Ling had opened her eyes, she leaned down and asked with concern:

"You're awake. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Ling's voice was so hoarse that she couldn't say anything. She just gritted her teeth and raised her hand, wanting to touch her stomach.

But what I encountered was only a flat stomach.

Seeing her expression instantly turn anxious, the nurse quickly pressed her hand down, comforting her while explaining with pity:

"According to the law, an unborn child is not considered a healthy person, and we must prioritize your health."

"Besides, when you were taken to the hospital yesterday, the bleeding was so severe that the baby was already at risk of not being able to be saved."

This sudden bad news made Shen Ling dizzy and she almost fainted on the spot.

She gripped the blanket tightly, her heart filled with immense grief, yet she couldn't cry no matter what she did.

Shen Ling truly couldn't understand what sins she had committed to deserve such a fate.

She had lived a life of widowhood, and after finally being reborn, she tried countless methods and exhausted all her efforts to finally conceive.

Now, they can't even keep this one and only treasure.

Shen Ling was on the verge of collapse when she received another piece of devastating news.

Because of the severe damage to her body, she may never be able to conceive again in her lifetime.

Because she married the wrong person, she was even deprived of the right to be a mother.

Shen Ling was filled with hatred and anger, tears streaming down her face as she cursed viciously.

"Gu Yuchuan, Wang Yulian, you two will surely be punished for treating me like this."

"This is your karma for what happened to Tong Xinyue. You liked her, didn't you? Now look what's happened, you're all going to jail with her."

"Serves you right! You beasts deserve to die. I'd rather not have this child in my belly, so I don't get involved with your family of criminals and bring bad luck upon myself!"

When Wang Yulian and Gu Yuchuan arrived, they overheard everything she said.
