In the darkness, sparks flew, gunshots rang out, and spent shell casings bounced on the ground.

Meanwhile, Ji Yunmiao, who had just finished a deep conversation with her husband, was woken up by a phone call and kicked to the ground by her husband.

Ji Yunmiao: ...

He answered the phone and immediately became serious. "I'll send someone over right away!" He got up and started dressing.

The person in the bed seemed to sense something and slowly woke up.

After making the arrangements, Ji Yunmiao was somewhat worried.

“I’ll go with you.” Her voice was as melodious as a lark’s.

Ji Yunmiao wore a crimson silk nightgown with plum blossom patterns, one hand supporting her forehead, while her newlywed husband, Mei Yiting, the eighth son of the Mei family in the capital, stood beside her.

"Yi Yi, I'm not going to the capital this time..." Ji Yunmiao knew that by saying this, she had at least already chosen a side in the eyes of others.

Like the Gu family, the Mei family does not take sides and has always remained neutral.

As the daughter-in-law of the Mei family, she did not want to cause trouble for her husband's family.

Mei Yiting stepped forward, took her hand, and gently smoothed her furrowed brows. "A-Miao, I know what you mean. You're just accompanying me back to the capital to visit my parents. Why think so much?"

Ji Yunmiao instantly understood what her husband meant.

Taking sides at this point seems premature.

She is from Xihua City and aligns herself with a faction in the capital, which has both advantages and disadvantages for her.

The best approach is to remain neutral.

“My husband is absolutely right. You’ve been in Xihua City for so long, we should go back and see Dad and Mom.” He grasped Mei Yiting’s hand in return.

“Ah Miao is just blinded by a leaf,” Mei Yiting said again in a light voice.

Ji Yunmiao married Mei Yiting partly because they were attracted to each other, but more so because Mei Yiting was a suitable match.

As we spent more time together, my interest in it grew stronger.

Moreover, it must be said that the young master of the Mei family is well-mannered and knows how to behave appropriately, making him very suitable as the head of the household or the mistress of the house.

"I'll have someone pack our things, and we'll head straight to the capital," Ji Yunmiao said. "Let's change our clothes first."

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Ji Yunmiao and Mei Yiting were still wearing their pajamas, and both of them had quite a few marks on their bodies.

Mei Yiting had just gotten out of bed and her back was still a little sore, but she knew that Shen Juanqing couldn't be delayed. "You too, don't rush. Let's contact the people in the capital first."

The eldest son of the Shen family was assassinated on his way back to the capital. It seems that this young master Shen has something shady up his hands in Pengcheng.

After Mei Yiting left, Ji Yunmiao immediately contacted Fu Muqian, thanks to her brother-in-law.

It was the early hours of the morning, and it was unclear whether Young Master Fu had woken up yet.

At the crack of dawn, a plane that started in Xihua City and was bound for Beijing streaked across the sky.

"I understand, I'll be right there." Gu Nanyan had just woken up when he received the call, his eyes icy cold.

It seems some people couldn't hold back last night.

Shen Bei'an rubbed his eyes and woke up. "Yan Yan, is something wrong at the company?"

“No, An’an,” Gu Nan’an hesitated for a moment before speaking, “It’s Zi Qing.”

"Qingqing?" Shen Bei'an was even less worried; after all, this was the male lead.

The male lead always has a halo, so there's no need for him, the minor villain, to worry.

"Ziqing is currently in the private ICU of the First Hospital of Beijing." The voice was low and weak, her life hanging by a thread. It was only thanks to the timely treatment in Xihua City that she survived!

Shen Bei'an suddenly woke up with a start, "You said Qingqing is in the ICU?!"

How is that possible?

Such a scene did not appear in the original book. Although the original book also described the male protagonist being injured, he did not go to the ICU at all. He only stayed in the cell repair device for a few hours and was lively and energetic again.

"An'an," Gu Nanyan stopped Shen Bei'an from rushing out, "She's alright now. She's still recovering in the cell repair machine. Mom and Dad, and her older brother and sister-in-law have already gone there."

In my youth, I suffered injuries far more severe than this.

When Gu Nanyan learned that Shen Juanqing was injured, his first reaction was

He was carrying something extraordinary, and some people didn't want him to leave Pengcheng.

“Yan Yan, you…” Shen Bei’an hadn’t forgotten that Gu Nan Yan was still pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to travel.

"It's alright, I'll have them set up a private passage beforehand. I'm wearing a round-neck robe today, so it won't be too noticeable. Go wash up first, it won't make a difference if we take a little longer." Gu Nanyan said, pulling Shen Beian out of bed and pressing a button.

"Okay." Shen Bei'an's mind was completely a mess right now.

Those who can be admitted to the ICU must be on the verge of death.

He remembered that Qingqing had gone to Pengcheng to carry out a mission, and there was no news of her yesterday, but today she was sent to the ICU!

The couple quickly got ready, ate breakfast in the car, and went directly to the First Hospital of Beijing.

"Sister-in-law." Upon entering the ward, only Lopelan was sitting on a stool to the side, wiping away tears.

“Nan Yan and An Ge’er are here, please sit down.” Luo Peilan’s eyes were a little red as she gestured for the two to sit down. “I just sent them back first. I’ll stay here for a while. Young Master Fu will be here soon.”

I tried to force a smile, but I just couldn't manage it.

How could she possibly laugh when her eldest son's fate was now unknown?

“The eldest son of the Ji family and the eighth son of the Mei family have returned to the Mei family first. We must thank them properly when Qing-ge’er wakes up.” Luo Peilan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. “It will be a while before Qing-ge’er wakes up. Thank you for coming.”

Especially Gu Nanyan, who is pregnant.

Gu Nanyan sat to one side, comforting Luo Peilan, "Sister-in-law, you're joking. You should go and rest first. An'an and I are here. I'll wake you up when Zi wakes up." He was brought over around 3 a.m., so Luo Peilan probably arrived around that time as well.
