The man in black landed heavily, his bones nearly shattered.
Before Zhan Yue could get close, he committed suicide by poisoning himself, leaving Zhan Yue with a look of regret.
He Lin stared in astonishment, and Zhan Yue was instantly dumbfounded.
Because of the gunshot, the heavy guards suddenly stopped moving, and then their eyes were fixed on Qiu Yan's action of putting away her gun.
Seeing Gu Xiaoran continue to fall from high above, He Lin cried out in alarm, "Jin'er!"
He broke out in a cold sweat and sped after the falling little body.
"Mother..." Gu Xiaoran's body relaxed, and before she could panic, she landed precisely in a warm embrace filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Zhan Yue wanted to get closer, but seeing that Gu Xiaoran was safe and sound, she walked towards He Lin.
After Qiu Yan held Gu Xiaoran securely, she accidentally tore open her wound. She frowned slightly, exhaled heavily, and sat down on the ground with Gu Xiaoran in her arms.
Knowing that Qiu Yan was injured, Gu Xiaoran quickly got off her.
Seeing the numerous injuries on her body, his eyes lost their former childlike innocence and were replaced by intense hatred.
He looked at the scars on Qiu Yan's left arm and left shoulder, then reached out and touched the glaring knife marks on Qiu Yan's cheek, and burst into tears.
He didn't understand where these inexplicable bad people came from, and why they were targeting him.
Lightning limped towards Gu Xiaoran, whimpered twice, nuzzled his body with its head, and then lowered its eyes and lay down on the ground.
Zhu Juan's face was deathly pale; she dared not look at the corpse on the ground.
She ran up to Qiu Yan: "Master, you're injured." Her eyes were full of worry. "Let me help you back."
"I can do it myself."
After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she looked at Gu Xiaoran and said, "Xiaoran, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious. You're a man, you have to be brave at all times."
Gu Xiaoran stopped crying and nodded seriously. "When I grow up, I will definitely protect you."
Qiu Yan smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for that day."
Behind her, Zhan Yue carefully examined the corpse on the ground and shook her head at He Lin.
The identities of these people are unknown.
His eyes fell on the mysterious musket at Qiu Yan's waist, and he asked He Lin in a low voice, "Master, do you know what kind of weapon that is?"
He Lin had the same question, and his gaze fell on Qiu Yan: "You'll have to ask her that."
Looking at Qiu Yan's injured body, he recalled the past, and his heart trembled slightly.
He glanced at Lightning's downcast and curled-up body, and Zhan Yue quickly took two steps to block Lightning's view.
He Lin approached Qiu Yan, raised his hand, and tried to touch Qiu Yan's injured cheek, but missed because Gu Xiaoran suddenly cut in.
Qiu Yan turned her head to avoid He Lin's touch, then casually glanced at Zhan Yue, "Thank you for earlier!"
If it weren't for He Lin and the other person, it would have been extremely difficult for her to rescue Gu Xiaoran due to her injuries.
Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws; that perfectly describes her.
Zhan Yue's handsome face flushed. Facing Qiu Yan's gaze, he suddenly became somewhat reserved: "No... I shouldn't... Miss Qiu, your injuries are very... very serious... I'll go... fetch a doctor..."
Thinking of Qiu Yan's heroic and dashing movements just now, and looking at Qiu Yan again, he felt somewhat uneasy all over.
Now he finally understood why General Gu would take a fancy to a country girl.
Faced with He Lin's sudden displeased gaze, he hurriedly looked away and took a step back.
"No need." Qiu Yan called out to Zhan Yue, "If you're free, could you do me a favor and clean up the bodies?"
