After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Hearing that familiar voice behind her, Xiao Ran almost instinctively stepped aside, making way for her.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "bang," the door was kicked open with great force, slammed against the railing, bounced back, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Time was of the essence, and Xiao Ran had no time to ask Duan Li why he was there. She rushed into the courtyard in a panic. Fortunately, the door to the house was not locked, and with a push, it creaked open.

As soon as she opened the door, a strong smell of medicine hit her, a bitter and pungent odor that filled the entire room. Xiao Ran subconsciously looked down, and the scene before her made her heart clench.

Wen Ming was lying face down on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, almost deformed. His once handsome face was now covered in bruises and blood. Beside him were broken pieces of a bowl, scattered on the ground, and the medicine had been spilled everywhere, forming a dark puddle on the ground.

Wenming's hand remained outstretched in one direction, his eyes filled with terror and helplessness, as he weakly cried out, "Mother, save my mother..."

Xiao Ran was shocked. She looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger, and it was coming from the inner room.

She rushed into the house, where no lights were on; she could only see barely by the light from the outer room.

A quick glance revealed an old woman lying on the table. On the table lay a shocking pool of blood, which was still dripping down, forming a dark red pool beneath the table.

And in that pool of blood, there seemed to be a footprint. It looked as if someone had stepped on it carelessly in the dim light.

She was frantic and rushed forward, ignoring the pungent smell of blood, bending down to check the old woman's breath. Fortunately, there was still a faint breath, but it was as light as a candle flickering in the wind, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally eased slightly, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, she quickly took out the white porcelain bottle that the fourth leader had given her from her bosom, carefully poured out a pill, gently lifted the old woman's head, and fed her the pill.

Then, she used all her strength to slowly help the old woman to the bed so that she could lie down comfortably.

After settling the old woman in, she hurriedly turned and went out to Wenming's side. Without hesitation, she took out another pill and gently put it into Wenming's mouth.

At this moment, Duan Li also came to help, and the two of them together helped Wen Ming to another bed so that he could rest properly.

After doing all these things, she sat down wearily, as if all her strength had been drained.

She asked Duan Li, who was standing to the side, listlessly, "What are you doing here?"

He broke off the silence. In fact, everyone in the garrison had been sent out to search for Shen You today, and having failed to find him, he wanted to look elsewhere.

After all, Governor Shin is a man-eater; if he doesn't find the person, he'll keep searching until he does.

As for why Governor Shin did this, he had no idea.

But he hadn't been in the suburbs for long when he saw Xiao Ran. Seeing that she had someone protecting her, he didn't think much of it.

But for some reason, he kept searching around Xiao Ran's vicinity until he saw her anxiously knocking on the door.

"It came unintentionally."
