Seeing the unfriendly look in Gu Yuchuan's eyes, Shen Ling felt a pang of panic and quickly quickened her pace to leave, wanting to escape as soon as possible.
But she was completely exhausted at this point, and even if she wanted to run, she couldn't, so how could she shake off the people behind her?
Gu Yuchuan caught up in a few steps and grabbed her wrist tightly. Because of the excessive force, a red mark instantly appeared on her hand.
"ah!"
Shen Ling let out a miserable cry of pain. In her hazy state of consciousness, she saw what looked like a familiar figure walking past outside the alley.
Before she could even think, she instinctively started shouting.
"Chen Zhihuan, help!"
"Sister, please save me!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Zhihuan glanced over. She didn't get along with Shen Ling, so she naturally didn't want to meddle in her affairs.
Unexpectedly, she noticed that Shen Ling's pants were covered in blood, and she was being held tightly by Gu Yuchuan, looking as if she was in great pain.
After all, human life is at stake. Even if Shen Zhihuan wanted to settle scores with Shen Ling, she could only do so while Shen Ling was still alive.
She immediately walked over with a cold face, while giving Gu Yuchuan a cold warning.
“Shen Ling looks like she’s about to miscarry. Let go of her. If you dare touch her again and cause a double tragedy, I don’t mind calling the police right now.”
Gu Yuchuan was intimidated by Shen Zhihuan's fierce aura and actually let go of her hand subconsciously.
As soon as she regained her freedom, Shen Ling rushed to Shen Zhihuan's side, tightly gripped her clothes with her blood-stained hands, and whispered:
"Gu Yuchuan is not important. We need to bring Tong Xinyue back first. She is no good."
"She's in cahoots with that Qiu Shanshan, and so are Qiu Shanshan's fake parents. They're all enemy agents!"
Shen Ling was in so much pain that she was starting to lose consciousness, but she was afraid that Shen Zhihuan would not believe her because of what had happened between them before, so she quickly endured the pain and began to explain.
"You should know that I left the tenement for a while not long ago."
“My mother-in-law is spreading rumors that I went back to the countryside for a few days, but that’s not true. I was captured and imprisoned in the enemy’s stronghold. If it weren’t for the fact that Pei Ji was caught by you and the enemy agents were in chaos, I would have had a chance to escape. Otherwise, I probably would have been killed by them long ago!”
Shen Ling described Pei Ji's appearance in as much detail as possible, as well as the specific location of the enemy's stronghold and the surrounding environment.
All the evidence was clearly presented, and Shen Zhihuan instantly understood, quickly whispering words of comfort to her.
"I understand. I'll take care of it. You don't need to worry about it."
"You are already experiencing signs of miscarriage. Try to relax, take deep breaths, and don't get too stressed."
Shen Ling knew that Shen Zhihuan was a doctor and couldn't bear to see her in this state, so she quickly let go of her clothes and urged her:
"Don't worry about me, I can manage now. I'll have the neighbors take me to the hospital later."
"You...you go take care of the important business first..."
By this point, Shen Ling was too weak to speak.
The intense pain caused her to cry uncontrollably. She strained to look up at Gu Yuchuan, who was standing there completely stunned, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred.
The reason I was harmed so badly is all because of this despicable couple!
She was determined to kill them, even if it cost her her life!
Seeing the courtyard turn into chaos in the blink of an eye, Gu Yuchuan stood awkwardly to the side, still not knowing what was going on.
He just went out for a private meeting with his mistress. Even if Shen Ling miscarried because of this, what does it have to do with Shen Zhihuan? Why is she so agitated?
The neighbors who rushed over after hearing the news were terrified to see Shen Ling lying on the ground covered in blood.
Although they often disagreed, seeing Gu Yuchuan, the husband, standing there dumbfounded and not even trying to help, made them all angry.
"What are you still standing there for? Shen Ling is carrying your child! She's in this state, why aren't you taking her to the hospital right away!"
"I've never seen a father or husband act like this before. They're so irresponsible!"
The neighbors hurriedly lifted Shen Ling onto a wooden plank they found nearby and rushed her to the hospital.
Shen Ling was in so much pain that she was almost fainting, but she still held onto Gu Yuchuan tightly, preventing him from getting in the way of Shen Zhihuan's actions.
The chaotic scene completely bewildered Gu Yuchuan. Before he could even react, he was dragged out of the courtyard and taken to the hospital.
As more and more people gathered to watch, various noises drifted in through the courtyard wall.
Tong Xinyue could more or less guess that it must have been Shen Ling who ruined her plan and exposed her and Qiu Shanshan's identities.
At this point, she definitely couldn't leave through the main gate. She would probably be caught on the spot before she even stepped out of the courtyard.
She hadn't yet lived the good life she dreamed of, and Tong Xinyue didn't want to die. After looking around, she gritted her teeth and simply took out the ladder that was originally in the storeroom and moved it to the backyard.
Just as she was about to climb over the wall to escape, Shen Zhihuan arrived immediately, grabbed her collar without saying a word, pulled her down, and pinned her to the ground.
"Behave yourself and don't make any sudden moves! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
It was impossible for her not to make any moves, and Tong Xinyue knew that she wouldn't have a good ending.
After being caught, she will likely be handed over to the military for processing, and then subjected to various interrogations, demanding that she confess to what Qiu Shanshan and the others did.
Whether she speaks or not, the military and enemy agents will absolutely not let her go!
Just as Tong Xinyue twisted her body in an attempt to struggle, Shen Zhihuan directly pierced her neck with a silver needle to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The effect was immediate; before Tong Xinyue could even react, her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
After knocking Tong Xinyue down, the first thing Shen Zhihuan did was find a rope and tie Tong Xinyue up tightly, completely eliminating any thought of her escaping.
After struggling to move the person out, Shen Zhihuan had just stepped out of the courtyard when she saw Sister Zhou and Sister Li standing guard on either side of her, looking at her with anxious expressions.
Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but chuckle at their expressions and asked:
What are you doing here?
“We’ve heard about what happened to the Gu family. We were worried about your safety, so we rushed over to keep watch over you.”
Shen Zhihuan felt a warmth in her heart. Time was of the essence, and there was no time for pleasantries, so she immediately spoke:
"You've come at the right time. Please go to the Xie family to look for them, and also report it to the police station."
"I'll stay here and keep watch, just in case anything unexpected happens."
