Cheng Ran brought along the elite of the elite special forces, who easily subdued the two thugs and tied them up in no time.
“My little girl…my daughter…Mommy’s here…”
Jiang Wanqing rushed over with tears streaming down her face and hugged Nannan in her arms. Cheng Ran also ran over.
The couple picked up their daughter, whose face was covered in dust. She had just almost experienced something inhuman. Jiang Wanqing's only relief was that the child hadn't woken up, otherwise she would have been left with lifelong psychological trauma.
"It's alright, it's alright, let's go home."
Cheng Ran picked up the child and supported Jiang Wanqing with one hand. She was already exhausted from the emotional ups and downs and lack of rest. It was estimated that all that was supporting her was a little bit of strong will in her heart.
"Jiang Wanqing! You're not getting away! I'll take you down with me!"
Su Su, who had just fallen to the ground, suddenly got up, picked up the knife from the ground, and lunged forward to stab Jiang Wanqing in the lower back.
Because Cheng Ran was holding the child, the others reacted a second slower, and by the time they fired another shot, Jiang Wanqing had already been stabbed...
Looking at the bloody hole in her waist, Jiang Wanqing didn't react for a moment. When the pain hit her whole body, she spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Wanqing!"
"Bang bang bang..."
After being beaten several times, Su Su was riddled with bullets. They had just wanted to capture her alive for trial, but now she didn't even have a chance to live.
"Pfft... Finally... I've dragged you down to hell once again... That's enough..."
Even in the moment before she collapsed, Su Su remained stubborn—or rather, Jiang Xiu's soul—still harboring the idea of dying together with Jiang Wanqing.
"Commander Cheng! Leave the child to us, you must take your wife to the hospital immediately! It will be too late if you wait any longer, there's too much blood!"
Experienced people would know something was wrong as soon as they saw Jiang Wanqing bleeding profusely. They would quickly take the child from Cheng Ran and run out with him in their arms.
Cheng Ran's face was grim, and he didn't even have time to shed tears. He had only one thought in his mind: Jiang Wanqing, his wife, must not be harmed!
He used almost all his strength and speed to pick up Jiang Wanqing and run outside.
Clinging to her last shred of consciousness, Jiang Wanqing coughed up blood as she made her final arrangements, worried that she wouldn't make it to the hospital.
"Cough cough... Cheng... Cheng Ran... take good care of... Nannan... and me... and Mom and Dad..."
"No, don't talk, don't talk... We're at the hospital right away, you'll be alright." Cheng Ran's lips were trembling, his eyes were bloodshot, and large beads of sweat were streaming down his forehead.
"Listen to me... I was already dead... To be able to come back and build a family with you... I'm so happy. I'll entrust our daughter to you from now on... The baby in your belly... I'm sorry..."
After saying her last words, Jiang Wanqing completely lost consciousness, her hands hanging limply. Cheng Ran could only feel the temperature of her body and dared not delay for even a second.
"I won't let anything happen to you!"
They carried Jiang Wanqing into the jeep as quickly as possible and drove straight to the nearest hospital.
First, stop the bleeding at a nearby clinic, then cooperate with medical staff to transfer to the largest public hospital in Southwest China.
When Jiang Wanqing arrived, she was on her last breath. The doctor didn't dare to delay and immediately pushed her into the operating room. Cheng Ran wanted to go in, but was stopped outside.
"I am her husband, I want to go in and be with her!"
"Please cooperate with our work. Family members are waiting outside. We will do our best."
"Wait..." Cheng Ran finally grabbed the doctor's hand, "My wife is pregnant. If... we can only save one, no matter what, save the mother!"
"You don't need to tell me that. Just wait patiently outside, just in case... Call over any other close relatives."
The doctor gave Cheng Ran a final instruction as he closed the operating room door.
Life is unpredictable; they can only do their best, but whether they can save lives depends on a bit of fate.
...
Less than an hour later, Jiang Jianguo and Xue He also arrived at the hospital. The two elderly people looked haggard and even wore the wrong socks. As soon as they arrived, they anxiously asked Cheng Ran about it.
"Wanqing? Nannan? How are they? Weren't they supposed to be found? Where are they?!"
Cheng Ran tried his best to keep his emotions in check. If he broke down in front of Jiang Wanqing's parents, the elderly couple would be even more upset.
He could only offer a milder answer first: "Nannan has been found. She's alright, just unconscious. She's in the hospital now, and I've asked my comrades to take care of her. As for Wanqing..."
He paused, looked up at the red light of the operating room, and remained silent. Jiang Jianguo and Xue He followed his gaze, their eyes widened in shock, and they both collapsed against the wall.
"Wanqing..."
"Dad, Mom, you two need to pull yourselves together..."
"Is it that woman, Su Su?! Where is she? I'm going to kill her!"
Jiang Jianguo stood up angrily, looking at Cheng Ran, trying to get an answer from his face.
"What exactly happened! Explain yourself! Where is Wanqing injured? What about the child? Are they in danger?"
A series of questions bombarded Cheng Ran; he couldn't hide it any longer, so he first pulled Xue He up.
"Mom, Dad, Su Su is dead. It's no use for you to seek revenge anymore. Wanqing was stabbed by her; the wound is in her waist. We'll have to wait for the doctor to come out and see how the surgery goes..."
"Ah! My poor daughter... Why! What grudge does this Su Su have against our family! Why!"
Xue He pounded her head. As a rural woman, she couldn't understand how two families and two people who had never been related could be hurt so badly.
"She kidnapped Nannan first, then hurt Wanqing. Her viciousness is no less than that of Jiang Xiu, that vicious woman!" Jiang Jianguo gritted his teeth angrily.
"Dad, Mom, before Wanqing went to the appointment... she asked me to give you some words. These words may answer your questions."
"What did you say? Speak up!"
"This isn't the place to talk, let's go a little further up."
Cheng Ran glanced at the operating room, then led the two elders toward the corner ahead.
Cheng Ran told them everything about Jiang Wanqing's rebirth, about Jiang Xiu's rebirth, and about the continuation of their grudges.
He cut to the chase. Ten minutes later, Jiang Jianguo and Xue He stood frozen in place, their eyes filled with disbelief. After all, how could such an incredible thing exist in this world?
Tears welled in Xue He's eyes as she looked at Cheng Ran: "You mean... Wanqing... already died once, and the reason she... she's been able to get to where she is today is because she carries the memories of her past life!"
“That’s right, Mom. In her memories of her previous life, Dad and I were already dead. She saved us all. Unfortunately… Jiang Xiu, that venomous snake, came back with her memories and is determined to fight her to the death.”
"No wonder...no wonder that child suddenly realized it back then, it turns out...we were too slow to understand..."
