Wen Ruan was relieved and went back to tell Song's mother that Song Heng had been shot, but the bullet was removed after surgery. She didn't dare to say anything else and that he just needed to rest.
Looking at Song Yan, who was seriously injured and unconscious on the hospital bed, Wen Ruan felt a pang of sadness. In her memory, Song Heng had always been mature and steady since childhood, and had always taken care of Song Yan, Wen Ruan, and the other younger ones.
