"Baozhu, Mom wants us to come home for dinner tonight." Sun Xingyan walked into Xia Baozhu's office.

There were a few employees inside, and Xia Baozhu was having a meeting to make plans for next month.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be done soon," Xia Baozhu replied with a smile.

Sun Xingyan sat down on a chair to wait. After Xia Baozhu finished her work, he took her coat and bag, and the two went home together.

As the car passed the old shop, Xia Baozhu asked Sun Xingyan to stop the car so she could get some pudding and milk tea.

As she stepped out of the store, Xia Baozhu saw a child running across the road suddenly fall down. There were no adults watching over the child. She quickly waved to the passing vehicles, ran over, and helped the child up.

When Sun Xingyan saw her run into the middle of the road, he immediately opened the car door and got out.

Xia Baozhu, on some unknown intuition, suddenly bent back down as she straightened up. A bullet hit the ground, and the spent casing flew up.

"Baozhu!" Sun Xingyan's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and without thinking, he ran towards the oncoming car.

Xia Baozhu, carrying the child, ran two steps to the back of a parked truck, the gun grazing the vehicle as it flew past.

Her heart was pounding, her mouth was dry, and she shouted at Sun Xingyan, "Don't come any closer, go inside!"

Pedestrians on the street heard two gunshots. They were still in shock and uncertainty after the first shot, but when the second shot rang out, they shouted and ran, scrambling to squeeze into the shops on both sides.

Sun Xingyan was running against the flow of traffic when someone pushed him, causing him to stumble. Seeing that Xia Baozhu was temporarily safe, he immediately returned to his car, intending to drive to pick her up.

Xia Baozhu dared not put the child down, fearing that the person with the gun would mistake him for herself.

A military green jeep quickly pulled up in front of her, and Chen Shanlou said sternly, "Get in!"

Xia Baozhu didn't hesitate and got into the car with the child in her arms. The child, not knowing what was happening, burst into tears.

A bullet hit Chen Shanlou's car, striking the vehicle and startling Xia Baozhu. She couldn't comfort her child and instead carefully searched for the source of the bullet.

A gun barrel protruding from the window of a slow-moving yellow van was pointed at them again, this time at the windshield of the van in front.

Chen Shanlou said coldly, "Hold on tight!"

As he spoke, his car suddenly made a sharp turn, driving to within fifty meters of the yellow van.

He held the gun in his left hand, rested it on the car window, and fired twice into the van.

One shot hit the car, and another hit the front tire of the van.

The child saw and heard the gunshot, covered his ears tightly, but stopped crying. He hid in Xia Baozhu's arms and secretly watched Chen Shanlou fire the gun.

The van's tires were punctured, and it drove erratically for a while before stopping. The other door opened, and two people got out.

Shen Shanlou quickly drove behind them and seized the opportunity to shoot one of them in the thigh.

The man with the gun was hiding behind a tractor, but he calmly kept firing at Chen Shanlou's car.

Xia Baozhu dared not look any longer and quickly bent down, holding the child. Soon she heard a scream, and when she looked up, it was Sun Xingyan's car!

His car crashed into the back of the tractor.

As Chen Shanlou drove over, Xia Baozhu saw the man squeezed between two cars. His fierce face showed a bewildered and empty expression, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

At that moment, two patrol officers arrived on motorcycles.

"Thank you, Chen Shanlou." Xia Baozhu thanked Chen Shanlou earnestly. Chen Shanlou glanced at her, said nothing, and coldly turned to look out of the car.

He was upset and depressed for a long time because of Xia Baozhu's marriage. Whenever he had a day off, he would come back and wander aimlessly around all the places she had been.

Seeing her ignoring past grievances and being all lovey-dovey with Sun Xingyan, he wanted to shoot the two adulterers.

Unexpectedly, his idea actually came true, and there were even people who couldn't stand her and wanted to shoot her in broad daylight.

The most ridiculous thing is that he impulsively rushed over to save her.

He deserves to be miserable!

Xia Baozhu got out of the car carrying the child, first took him to the roadside, and then ran towards Sun Xingyan's car.

Another gunshot rang out, and Xia Baozhu was suddenly tackled to the ground. She was pinned down by someone, and when she turned her head, she saw Chen Shanlou, who had gotten out of the car with her.

Chen Shanlou pulled out his gun and fired, and the patrolman quickly hid behind the car and pulled out his gun as well.

Sun Xingyan's hands and legs were trembling because it was the first time he had bumped into someone. When he saw Xia Baozhu running towards him, he was still thinking about how to tell her about his courage.

When he heard the gunshot again, he looked in horror at Xia Baozhu and Chen Shanlou, who was rushing towards her.

He didn't know what to feel, but his eyes welled up and tears streamed down his face as he wept with relief that she had escaped a terrible ordeal.

There were two sounds from the other side, then silence. The patrolman cautiously approached and found that the man whose thigh had been injured by Chen Shanlou earlier had his hand smashed and was covered in blood.

Even so, he still intended to use all his strength to reach the pistol.

"Chenshanlou, you can get up now." Xia Baozhu was lying on the ground, her hand was pressed against her abdomen, and it must have been a stone on the ground that pricked her, it hurt a lot.

She took out her hand and found it was covered in blood. She called for Chen Shanlou, who was lying on top of her, to get up, but Chen Shanlou did not move for a long time.

Xia Baozhu looked at the spot where she had just taken her hand out; there, a pool of blood was slowly spreading.

"Xingyan, quickly take him to the hospital!" Xia Baozhu looked up and said anxiously to Sun Xingyan, who was getting out of the car.

Sun Xingyan also saw the pool of blood. He admired Shen Shanlou for continuing to shoot despite being wounded, but he was also worried about him.

But now was not the time to think about these things. He called over the patrol officers who were arriving one after another, and together they carefully lifted Chenshan Tower.

"How come it's Director Shen?" the patrolman exclaimed in surprise, recognizing Shen Shanlou.

Xia Baozhu got up and got into the driver's seat. Two patrol officers followed and got into the car to support Chen Shanlou from behind. Sun Xingyan sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Shanlou squinted at what lay ahead, a cold laugh escaping his lips. He'd finally become a complete fool. To use his precious body to save a woman who didn't love him at all—idiot! Fool!

He could easily be considered one of the biggest fools in the world.

Fortunately, the hospital was nearby, and Xia Baozhu drove very fast, arriving at the hospital entrance in three minutes.

Watching Chen Shanlou being taken into the emergency room, Xia Baozhu was helped by Sun Xingyan to sit on the bench by the door.

Two patrol officers took statements from the two men, one of them stayed behind while the other returned with the statement.

"Baozhu, thank goodness you're alright." Sun Xingyan's throat was dry, and it took him a long time to calm himself down and say a few words.

"Yes, it's because of you that I've dragged you into this." Xia Baozhu recalled the past. She couldn't remember when she had offended such vicious people. They were ruthless and merciless when they fired their guns, as if they were used to killing people. They were just like killers.

Could they have been hired by someone?

"It's not your fault, it's because the bad guys are too bad." Yan gently stroked Baozhu's back with a gloomy expression, wishing he could skin her alive and tear her tendons apart for the person who wanted to kill her.

Today, he has experienced several major ups and downs, which has made him doubt his own abilities.
