After hanging up the phone, Su Wantang and Lu Huai'an drove away from the compound and headed straight for the small courtyard rented by Yue Tao and the others.

"Drive faster," Su Wantang said anxiously.

Upon closer inspection, her hands were trembling.

Su Wantang only wanted Yue Tao and Wang Quan to do something for her, but she didn't expect that they would be implicated and shot. At this moment, a tide of self-blame and regret was about to overwhelm her.

Yue Tao didn't speak very clearly on the phone just now, but Lu Huai'an still clearly heard the phrase "shot."

Looking in the rearview mirror at Su Wantang's pale face and trembling body, Lu Huai'an pressed the accelerator and said softly, "Tangtang, don't worry. Yue Tao and Wang Quan are both from the military. With their skills, even if they are shot, it is probably not in a fatal position. Calm down first. We will need you to perform surgery in a while."

Lu Huai'an's voice was calm and steady, carrying a soothing power. Su Wantang's tense nerves relaxed slightly upon hearing the bad news, and she replied, "Mm."

"Don't worry, Tangtang, no matter what happens, I'll be there for you. You're not alone."

Su Wantang nodded.

After that, the two did not speak again.

Fifteen minutes later, the car arrived at the courtyard.

Upon hearing the commotion, Yue Tao and Wang Quan immediately opened the courtyard gate and came out to greet them.

Su Wantang, carrying a medicine box, got out of the car and carefully looked at the two of them, a big question mark appearing on her forehead.

"Are you two alright?"

"Sister-in-law, it's not us, it's that woman."

...

Let's go back in time.

Yue Tao took a taxi to the village entrance.

When he glimpsed Liu Cuicui with the crazy woman through the window, he didn't pay her any mind until he glanced behind her and found Wang Quan hiding there.

After leaving that day, Su Wantang thought about it for half the night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a secret in the cellar.

So, they sent Wang Quan to keep an eye on things.

This close look actually uncovered something fishy.

There is a woman in the cellar.

In an instant, Su Wantang guessed that Liu Cuicui might not be dead.

So she drew a sketch of Liu Cuicui for Wang Quan, asking him to find a way to enter the cellar and confirm the identity of the person inside.

Wang Quan acted swiftly, confirming Liu Cuicui's identity that very evening.

Su Wantang, however, did not rush to alert the enemy.

What she was thinking was that Huo Jun was currently deeply involved with Sun Qian. Once the two of them submitted their marriage application, she would confront Liu Cuicui in front of them, and Huo Jun would be ready to be punished and kicked out of the army.

Yue Tao was sent by Su Wantang to keep an eye on Song Wanying.

This balance was shattered when Su Wantang took intimate photos of Huo Jun and Sun Qian, and coincidentally, Song Wanying couldn't sit still any longer.

So Su Wantang devised a plan for Song Wanying to steal things and let her cause trouble, hoping to expose Liu Cuicui in the process.

Send Song Wanying to jail! Use Liu Cuicui to drive Huo Jun out of the army, and then let Huo Jun, who is full of hatred and has lost his future, learn the truth and fight with Liu Cuicui. This is Su Wantang's ultimate intention.

However, Huo Qing unexpectedly got involved, causing Song Wanying to smash someone's head, and everything spiraled out of control.

Therefore, when Fu Jing came to her door, Su Wantang only had time to tell him to find Wang Quan and get Liu Cuicui out first before making any further plans.

After all, Huo Xiaoyan will definitely take some action after this incident.

Su Wantang had considered everything, but she hadn't expected Liu Cuicui to run away. She also hadn't expected that Yue Tao and Wang Quan would clash, knock Liu Cuicui unconscious, and take her back in the car, only to run into Huo Jun, who had rushed back to the village after receiving the news.

He shot out the tire and stopped the group.

Seeing that things were not going well, Yue Tao carried Liu Cuicui and ran away, while Wang Quan took the opportunity to distract Huo Jun and buy him time.

Huo Jun gathered some street thugs, who were terrified when they heard the gunshots. As soon as Huo Jun got out of the car, he slammed the door shut, grabbed the taxi driver by the neck, threatened him, and drove away.

Huo Jun frowned but ignored him.

Since guns have already been used, keeping them here and letting them see things they shouldn't would only cause trouble.

Now, since few people have seen it, if he were to speak out, he would only receive a scolding.

Huo Jun wasn't stupid. He quickly realized something was wrong after chasing Wang Quan, who had dressed in a very realistic outfit.

They immediately turned around and chased after Yue Tao, who was actually carrying the person.

Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Quan immediately tried to stop him, but Huo Jun had a gun, so his efforts were not very effective.

The taxi they were in was forced to stop not far from the city center. The gunshot had already attracted the attention of nearby residents, and Wang Quan was shouting "Help!" at the top of his lungs.

Fearing that the incident would escalate and affect his career, Huo Jun hardened his heart and raised his pistol, shooting Liu Cuicui in the left chest.

Huo Jun was an excellent marksman; he hit Liu Cuicui in the heart with a single shot. Seeing the blood gushing from Liu Cuicui's back, he left reassured.

...

On the way to the hospital, Yue Tao quickly and clearly explained the matter to Su Wantang.

Su Wantang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but quickly frowned again.

"She...is still alive?"

“Sister-in-law, this woman is really lucky. At the time, Lao Wang and I thought she was dead and were about to go to the police station when we found out that she was still alive. When we checked her, we found that her heart was unusually located on the right side.”

"After we discussed it, we immediately stopped the bleeding. Wang Quan took her back to the courtyard, and I immediately called you, sister-in-law."

As soon as the group entered the room, Su Wantang immediately took Liu Cuicui's pulse.

"She's really lucky to be alive," she scoffed.

With traces of sleeping pills and highly toxic drugs in her body, and having been shot once, she still managed to avoid miscarriage despite signs of miscarriage. Isn't that incredibly resilient?

Without wasting any more time, Su Wantang gave Liu Cuicui a pregnancy-stabilizing pill and prepared to begin the surgery.
