The moment A-Yue left, Zhen Wanwan aimed her gun at the bear.
Bears have thick hides, so she aimed for the bear's eyes.
It is blind in this area and cannot see anything. I heard that every part of this bear is a treasure.
This leather is top-quality, and Zhen Wanwan didn't want to waste it.
The bear seized the opportunity and grinned as it charged toward Zhen Wanwan.
Just as she came within a meter of her, Zhen Wanwan activated the mechanism.
A deafening roar startled the birds into flight, and the people who had just fled were so frightened that they lay prone on the ground.
Even Ah Yue and the bodyguards were so frightened by this scene that their legs went weak.
After firing her first shot, Zhen Wanwan didn't stop and continued firing several more shots at the bear.
The bear fell down amidst its mournful howl!
Seeing this, Zhen Wanwan was overjoyed and quickly shouted, "A-Yue, quickly strike its vital point!"
A-Yue was constantly monitoring Zhen Wanwan's movements, and immediately plunged the sword in her hand into the bear's vital point.
The intense pain drove the bear even more mad, and Zhen Wanwan, caught off guard, was sent flying.
Fortunately, the nearest bodyguard caught her and shielded her from most of the bear's damage.
"Zhen Niangzi!"
A-Yue was so frightened that she almost lost her mind and rushed over to hug her.
Despite having her bodyguards shield her from some of the damage, Zhen Wanwan still felt as if her chest was about to explode, and the pain made her see stars.
She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, "I...I'm fine!"
In just a few seconds, A-Yue had checked her over from head to toe.
Seeing that there were no visible wounds, I felt relieved but also very worried.
The bear's paw was incredibly powerful; it almost shattered bones.
After waiting for a while, Zhen Wanwan recovered and the pain in her chest subsided.
The bear had already been shot several times by Zhen Wanwan, and then was stabbed through the heart by A Yue's sword, spurting blood all over the ground.
It lay on the ground, rolled and struggled a few times, and then fell silent.
The guard stepped forward to check and returned to Zhen Wanwan's side to report, "Madam, the bear has no breath."
This was something she had expected. Zhen Wanwan nodded gently and looked at the injured person.
Apart from her, who showed no visible injuries, everyone else present had wounds of varying severity.
Among them, the bodyguard who protected Zhen Wanwan at the end was the most seriously injured.
After all, the bear's final blow was delivered with all its might; the guard was bleeding from all seven orifices and lay quietly not far from her.
Zhen Wanwan clutched her chest and crawled over with difficulty, her hands trembling uncontrollably as she slowly reached for his breath.
Ah Yue and the other guards were all stunned. Ever since they became guards, their lives belonged to their master.
Their final fate is to die in the line of duty one day.
In this world, no one will worry about them or feel sad.
Zhen Wanwan's actions caused a subtle change in their hearts, but it quickly disappeared.
Zhen Wanwan felt both scared and guilty. This person was about to die to save her!
While torturing herself internally, Zhen Wanwan listened to his faint breathing.
Her face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "Ah Yue is still alive!"
Upon hearing this, A-Yue squatted down next to the guard and examined him.
Under Zhen Wanwan's expectant gaze, he remained silent for a long time before finally sighing and saying, "My wife, his internal organs are ruptured; there's no saving him!"
Zhen Wanwan was slightly stunned, feeling extremely distressed. If it weren't for saving her, he wouldn't have died.
If he died, Zhen Wanwan thought, she might never be able to sleep well for the rest of her life.
There's no way around it; she received so much higher education in her previous life, lived under the red flag, and her values were impeccably upright.
She simply couldn't selfishly accept others unconditionally sacrificing their lives for her!
Thinking of this, Zhen Wanwan made an excuse to go to the outhouse, but actually went into her spatial dimension.
She took out the silver notes she had hidden in the counter and walked up to the Tmall Genie.
How much does it cost to buy medicine for treating external injuries?
Zhen Wanwan returned in less than fifteen minutes.
Ah Yue had been following her, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her come out.
Apart from the seriously injured lying on the ground, the other guards who had suffered minor injuries all took out the medicine given to them by Zhen Wanwan and applied it to their wounds.
Zhen Wanwan handed one of the pills in her hand to A Yue: "A Yue, you're badly injured, you should take this!"
She didn't give A-Yue a chance to refuse. After stuffing the medicine into her hand, she turned to the silent 'corpse' on the ground.
Zhen Wanwan put the only two pills in her hand into his mouth, and the pills melted instantly in his mouth.
After receiving the pill, A-Yue was only stunned for a moment. Trusting her, she didn't think too much and put the pill directly into her mouth.
After a few seconds, she was surprised to find that the pain in her chest, which had been throbbing, had suddenly disappeared.
Even the hidden ailments left from previous missions seem to be slowly healing.
A-Yue turned to look at Zhen Wanwan in shock. What on earth was going on?
She had always known that her wife, Zhenniang, was a doctor, but she rarely made house calls and almost never prescribed medicine.
She once suspected that the rumors were wrong, but now she thinks that even the herbal healer in her family is nothing special.
Compared to Zhen Niangzi's medical skills, it's like comparing heaven and earth.
"Ah Yue! Come here for a second! Quickly check on him and see how he is!"
Unfortunately, Zhen Wanwan knows nothing about medicine. She might be able to handle some simple external injuries, though.
With internal injuries like this, she could only sit there and stare blankly.
No matter how shocked A-Yue was inside, she remained quite calm on the surface.
She crouched down beside the guard and examined his wrist for his pulse. She saw that his pulse, which had been completely still, was now becoming active.
Looking again, the guard's face, which had been ashen and lifeless, began to regain its rosy hue.
"How is he?"
Zhen Wanwan was a little nervous. This medicine cost a lot of money, and if the person couldn't be saved, she would suffer a huge loss.
After all, given how stingy Tmall Genie is, they probably won't refund the money.
Ah Yue's heart pounded, and she didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Zhen Niangzi must be a living Bodhisattva!
She was saved by just one pill despite such a severe injury!
Moreover, given this person's recovery progress, once he is fully recovered, his physical condition will definitely be even better than before.
When Zhen Wanwan saw A Yue's stunned expression, she thought that the person was beyond saving.
A sudden pang of sorrow gripped her heart, and guilt nearly filled her chest.
The next second, A-Yue regained her senses, concealed the shock in her eyes, and said calmly, "Don't worry, my wife, his internal organs are recovering, and he'll be jumping around again in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Wanwan felt a huge weight lifted from her chest.
A smile appeared on her face as she patted A-Yue on the shoulder and looked at the guards around her who were healing their wounds.
"Everyone has worked hard with me. I will definitely repay you handsomely when we get back!"
As a responsible boss, you certainly can't be stingy with your employees.
"Your subordinate is not tired! I am willing to follow you to the death, my lady!"
They were all highly trained secret guards, whose lives or deaths were at their master's command.
Hearing everyone's unified and solemn promises, Zhen Wanwan was deeply moved.
It turns out there really are people willing to die for you...
Oh no! Zhen Wanwan and the others were worried that the smell of bear blood would attract other wild animals.
The crowd helped them leave, and Zhen Wanwan secretly put the bear's body into her spatial storage and placed it in an empty field outside the supermarket.
Not long after they left, the people who had run away returned.
They returned not because of the bear, but to investigate the cause of the loud noise.
The thunderous sound filled them with both fear and curiosity.
"Young Master, there's so much blood here. It seems that the bear has eaten all those people from earlier!"
Yu Cheng, who was called the young master, narrowed his eyes and stared blankly at the mess on the ground.
After a long while, he heard the sounds of wild beasts in the distance before he led his men away.
Zhen Wanwan and the others walked a distance until they reached a safe place before stopping to eat and rest.
The injured person did not develop inflammation thanks to timely treatment with wound medicine.
Zhen Wanwan looked through them one by one, and only then did her anxious heart settle down.
As the all-powerful exploration device drew closer, she felt a little comforted.
We were supposed to arrive tomorrow morning, but now that we've been delayed, we're probably going to be late.
However, it's better to be late than never.
Zhen Wanwan was optimistic. Seeing everyone's exhausted appearance, she thought for a moment and said, "Let's not travel tonight. Everyone should rest and continue tomorrow!"
"Your subordinates obey!" Ah Yue and all the guards replied in unison.
Summer nights come exceptionally late; it doesn't get dark until eight or nine o'clock at night.
Zhen Wanwan and the others found a dilapidated temple to shelter from the wind and prepared to rest there for the night.
A-Yue boiled water, and Zhen Wanwan made instant noodles, thus resolving their dinner problem.
She lay on the only relatively clean straw in the temple, from which she could see the scattered stars in the sky.
I wonder how my baby and sweet baby are doing these past two days since I left, and whether they've cried.
Sigh, as she thought about it, Zhen Wanwan missed her two children terribly.
She didn't sleep well that night, thinking that she needed to finish her work quickly and go home as soon as possible.
On a rooftop, Zhu Yuan, dressed in night clothes, moved between the rooftops of various houses.
He quickly shook off the people following him and arrived at his temporary residence inside the house.
The place was a chaotic mix of people. He quietly slipped into the backyard and soon changed his clothes.
Dressed in very rich clothes, he walked to the gambling table in the front yard and generously threw out a silver ingot.
Someone recognized him and teased, "Hey! Boss Zhen's finally back! Were you afraid you'd lost all your money and were resorting to stealing cash from the outhouse? Hahaha..."
The others burst into laughter when they heard what the man said.
In their eyes, Zhu Yuan was just a rich sucker; wherever he was, they all won money.
Therefore, everyone wanted to gamble with him and try their luck at winning money.
Zhu Yuan's demeanor had also changed; he was less aloof and more roguish.
"You underestimate me! My wife is incredibly wealthy. I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else... I actually have a secret stash of money hidden away when she's not looking!"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. In their eyes, Zhu Yuan was not only a sucker but also a gigolo.
I heard that he used his good looks to seduce a wealthy girl from the Zhen family, and chose to marry into her family so he could have money to squander.
They even gave up the surname given to them by their ancestors and took the woman's surname, Zhen.
Everyone looked down on him for his actions, but because he was rich, they were all happy to gamble with him.
Tonight they're determined to make him gamble until he's down to his underwear; after all, with his pretty face, he can win over rich women.
If the rich woman is happy, won't his wallet get bulging?
Just as everyone was thinking about how to squeeze every last drop out of Zhu Yuan's wallet, a commotion came from outside.
A group of soldiers carrying swords stormed in and subdued everyone.
The leader looked around and shouted, "The person in charge, come out! We have questions to ask!"
Upon seeing this, the manager of the gambling den quickly jumped out.
"I am the manager of this gambling den. May I ask what brings you here, sir?"
The leader sized up the steward and said calmly, "The prefectural governor's mansion has lost something important and is currently questioning suspicious individuals. Have you seen anyone break in?"
The manager narrowed his eyes and glanced around at the gamblers inside the room.
These people were all under his watchful eye; nothing they did could escape his keen observation.
Otherwise, how would he make money from this gambling den?
After looking around and finding nothing suspicious, the manager quietly handed a bag of silver to the leader.
"My lord, this is a gift from your humble servant... I am grateful that you came here so late at night. I can guarantee with my life that no one who should not be here has infiltrated."
The leader weighed the money bag in his hand and looked at it with a satisfied expression.
He had his men conduct a quick search of the backyard before leaving with them.
Disturbed by the soldiers, many people lost their interest.
Some of those who won money happily said goodbye and went home.
Those like Zhu Yuan, who lost money, had no more money to gamble and could only slink back with the others.
After wandering around, he came to the alley behind the gambling den and changed his clothes again.
As soon as he entered, a bodyguard jumped out.
"My lord! I have something to report!"
Zhu Yuan hummed in agreement and took out the account book he had acquired that day.
Inside are all the records of the collusion between the Yang King and the Northern Hu people over the years.
Although their collusion was already an open secret, Prince Yang was incredibly shameless, always finding plausible reasons to cover up his disgraceful deeds.
Zhu Yuan's purpose on this trip is to make these things known to the world.
He also wanted the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince's men to know so that they could work together to deal with the Northern Hu people.
When the Northern Hu people lose the Yang King's men, they will naturally fall into disarray, and they will not dare to easily attack Anqing Prefecture.
After all, if they dare to make a move, they have to consider whether other forces will take advantage of the post-war period to annihilate them.
However, these things still need to be planned.
Zhu Yuan stared blankly at the account book, his mind preoccupied with Zhen Wanwan and her two children.
I wonder how they are doing at home.
The guard hesitated for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, "Master, has Madam come to see you with her entourage?"
"What?"
Zhu Yuan was taken aback, seemingly not having heard the guard's words clearly.
The guard gritted his teeth and said firmly, "It's been two days since Madam left home, so she should be able to get here tomorrow."
Zhu Yuan's heart clenched, and his fingers gripped the ledger tightly.
He swallowed hard, his expression unreadable, and asked, "Is Madam well?"
He couldn't understand what had happened to Zhen Wanwan that would make her willing to leave her two young children and risk danger to travel so far to find him.
