After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

Her skin was porcelain white, and her face was delicate.

Especially those eyes, which held a firm and unyielding light within their cool demeanor.

Who else could it be but Yan Niannian?

Yan Niannian was also stunned, but Zhuo Yuchen was the first to react. He lowered his voice and questioned, "What are you doing here? Get out of here before anyone notices."

What kind of time is this to be causing trouble?

Zhuo Yuchen felt utterly overwhelmed.

Saving Zhuo Xuan was already difficult enough; now, he also has to take care of Yan Niannian, this burden.

This is so annoying!

At this moment, Zhuo Yuchen's blatant disdain aroused Yan Niannian's dissatisfaction. She rolled her eyes at him without any hesitation, "Save someone!"

Then she turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Since we all share the same goal, let's each rely on our own abilities.

"Rescue?"

Zhuo Yuchen looked dazed for a moment.

She disregarded the danger and came all by herself just to save Xuanxuan.

Does she even care about her son and father?

We've let her make a scene for so long this time; once this matter is settled, it's time to have a proper talk with her.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yuchen's tone softened a bit, "I know you care about Xuanxuan, but this place is dangerous, it's not a place you should be."

"Let's get out of here before we're discovered. I'll rescue Xuanxuan."

As they were talking, a dilapidated pickup truck drove in.

Her eyes lit up, and Yan Niannian stared at the pickup truck with a displeased look, interrupting Zhuo Yuchen impatiently, "Shut up! You!"

Zhuo Yuchen wasn't angry.

Because at that moment, his attention was also drawn to the pickup truck.

Frowning, Zhuo Yuchen was pondering his next plan when Yan Niannian suddenly dashed out at an incredible speed.

"Yan Niannian!"

Zhuo Yuchen lowered his voice and roared.

But Yan Niannian moved too fast. He tried to stop her but couldn't even grab a piece of her clothes. He could only watch helplessly as she rushed out.

"damn it!"

Zhuo Yuchen was furious with Yan Niannian's recklessness.

However, he couldn't ignore him, so he could only put on a stern face and follow him out.

"Wait a moment!"

Yan Niannian rushed straight into the road, fearlessly spreading her arms to stop the pickup truck.

Crunch!

The pickup truck stopped.

The door was opened, and two men quickly came out.

The other party was not a decent person to begin with; he was involved in shady dealings. Now that he saw a stranger, he became even more menacing while remaining wary.

"who are you?"

"How did we suddenly end up here?"

"And why did you stop our car?"

They exchanged a glance, suppressing the murderous intent in their eyes, and silently surrounded Yan Niannian.

Once they sensed something was wrong, they simply snapped her neck.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yuchen narrowed his eyes dangerously.

He raised his hand, pressed down the brim of his hat, and went straight behind Yan Niannian.

No matter what, he will protect her.

Noticing Zhuo Yuchen's actions, Yan Niannian glared at him without saying a word, annoyed that he was being nosy.

Then, Yan Niannian deliberately shrank back, putting on a pitiful look, "Brothers, I have no home. I've been wandering here for days without eating anything."

"I finally saw someone, so I wanted to beg for some food."

"Could you please have some mercy and give me something to eat to fill my stomach?"

One of the men glanced warily at Zhuo Yuchen behind her. "And what about him?"

“He’s my younger brother,” Yan Niannian said without hesitation.

Then, she deliberately added, "He has autism, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't know how to interact with strangers."

This description matched the first impression Zhuo Yuchen gave, so the two didn't suspect that he had autism, but they did suspect the purpose of Yan Niannian and the other person being there.

"Why should I give you food?" one of them pressed closer.

"I won't take it for nothing. How about this..." After thinking for a moment, Yan Niannian tried her best to persuade them, "I'm a doctor. I can treat your illnesses in exchange."

"What, you're a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, the two men exchanged a glance and quickly and tacitly shared their opinions.

After weighing the options, they agreed.

"Come in!" After cautiously looking around and finding nothing amiss, the two led Yan Niannian and Zhuo Yuchen into the abandoned courtyard of a residential building.

……

In the main room, against the wall, there was a single bed, and a man was lying on it.

The man's face was ashen, but his lips were frighteningly white.

He gritted his teeth, his brows furrowed, and occasionally groaned.

He looked like he was in pain.

Yan Niannian's gaze fell on the man's face, then slowly moved down to his legs.

His legs were wrapped in sofa fabric, which was stained with blood.

"Hey! Aren't you a doctor? My brother's been shot in the leg, the bullet's still lodged in the flesh. You need to get it out right away." The man who brought her in urged her menacingly, "If you succeed, everything will be fine."

"otherwise……"

"You two brothers will keep your heads here today."

“No problem.” Yan Niannian slowly turned around, showing no panic in the face of the other party’s fierce threat. “But I need professional surgical tools.”

After they finished speaking, one of them winked at the other.

The other party brought out a box.

After opening it, Yan Niannian tiptoed and took a peek from afar.

Inside were surgical tools: scalpels, hemostats, gauze, and basically everything else you'd expect.

Their leader was unfortunately shot during the operation.

But given their status, at this juncture, they wouldn't dare go to a hospital, let alone a remote small clinic.

Left with no other option, they had to buy the tools back.

But no one knew this, so it dragged on until now, until Yan Niannian took the initiative to come to them.

"Please!" Staring intently at Yan Niannian, the person gave her a perfunctory gesture of invitation.

Yan Niannian calmly walked towards the box.

Zhuo Yuchen frowned.

Ever since Yan Niannian started acting up, he has understood her less and less.

Is this woman crazy?

Studying medicine?

Having been married into the Zhuo family for so many years, she knows her own limitations better than anyone else. She has no medical knowledge whatsoever, so how could she remove a bullet from someone?

Yan Niannian pretended to pick up the scalpel. Although she tried her best to remain calm, her fingers still trembled slightly.

Although the movement was slight, it was still noticed by Zhuo Yuchen.

really……

He sighed inwardly, feeling a slight ache in his temples.

But he still moved closer to Yan Niannian without making a sound.

At this very moment, Zhuo Yuchen was already prepared to protect her if the truth came out.

"call!"

Standing in front of the bed, Yan Niannian nervously gripped the scalpel in her hand and took a deep breath.

Fight!

Yan Niannian gritted her teeth and tore off the gauze. With a determined effort, she plunged the scalpel into the man's thigh.
