"I had no choice; it was your woman who forced me to do this."

The man thought Mu Xiaowan and Ye Jincheng were a couple.

"I told you, during the Lunar New Year, the brothers just want to make some money to celebrate. They never thought about taking lives. Wouldn't it be better if you lost some money to avoid trouble, and we're all happy?"

The man's face was covered, with only his eyes showing.

Mu Xiaowan felt the knife at her neck was icy cold.

She didn't dare to move.

"Let her go, I won't chase after her. If you don't leave now, the police will be patrolling this area soon, and then you won't be able to leave even if you want to." Ye Jincheng's eyes were fixed on the knife.

Mu Xiaowan was calculating the distance; she was wondering how likely she was to save herself.

She also needed to communicate with Ye Jincheng through eye contact, so that Ye Jincheng could subdue the thief immediately when she was freed.

Mu Xiaowan was backlit and couldn't see Ye Jincheng's gaze, nor did she know if Ye Jincheng could see her subtle signals.

I wonder if he would even be able to understand it if he saw it?

The thief cautiously looked to both sides, retreating to the left. The left-hand intersection led to a cluster of houses, making it more difficult for the police to catch him if he escaped from there.

"Watch out for the knife in your hand, I don't want to die," Mu Xiaowan said.

"I didn't expect that even at a time like this, you could still calmly make a request to me?"

"You said you only care about money, not your life, and I believe you."

Ye Jincheng clenched his fist. "I mean what I say. Let her go. I won't chase after her, but don't even think about committing any more crimes in my area in the future."

"I don't believe you. You damned policeman, you stand there and don't move. Put your hands up."

Ye Jincheng's eyes were filled with coldness.

But for Mu Xiaowan's safety, he still raised his hands.

The thief accidentally stepped on a stone while backing away and stumbled.

Just then, Mu Xiaowan slammed her head back forcefully, then quickly crouched down. At the same time, a gunshot rang out.

Mu Xiaowan was completely terrified. She crouched on the ground, covering her head, and didn't move. She didn't know whose gun it was.

A buzzing sound echoed in my ears.

It felt so real.

Ye Jincheng shot the man in the arm, rushed over, kicked him to the ground, beat him severely, and handcuffed him.

The man screamed in pain and rolled on the ground.

Ye Jincheng put away his gun and looked at Mu Xiaowan, who was curled up on the ground, covering her head.

He thought to himself, "Wasn't he quite fierce just now?"

Why are you so scared now that you hear gunshots?

Ye Jincheng squatted down in front of Mu Xiaowan, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to pat her shoulder.

"Xiao Mu!"

He called out once but received no response, so he patted her again, "Xiao Mu, it's alright!"

Mu Xiaowan had tinnitus and couldn't hear Ye Jincheng's voice. She slowly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.

Seeing her stunned expression, Ye Jincheng immediately understood.

It was the first time Mu Xiaowan had ever seen a gun. She was not only frightened, but the sound of the gunshot must have also hurt her eardrums.

He raised his voice and said, "Can't you hear me?"

Mu Xiaowan was stunned for a few seconds before nodding.

Ye Jincheng slapped his thigh.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Mu Xiaowan felt a pain in her neck. She raised her hand to wipe her neck, and when she lowered her hand, she saw blood on it.

Ye Jincheng was startled. "You're injured. Wait a minute, I have gauze in my motorcycle."

He quickly took out a gauze from the motorcycle's spare box and covered Mu Xiaowan's neck with it.

"Hold me down and I'll take you to the hospital."

At that moment, the police officers who heard the gunshots ran over.

"Director Ye, it's you? Are you alright?"

“Xiao Mu is injured, so I’m taking people to the hospital. You guys seal off this area, take this person back, and there are a few others who escaped through the back wall. Go find clues and track them down.”

Ye Jincheng picked up Mu Xiaowan and put her on the motorcycle. He started the motorcycle and went straight to the military hospital, where there was always a doctor on duty.

Mu Xiaowan actually wanted to say that she was fine, but whether it was because of her injury and fright, or because she was too cold, she couldn't speak at the moment. Her whole body was trembling, and she could even hear her teeth chattering.

She was so cold, so cold!

I shouldn't have been so presumptuous just now.

He almost died a heroic death.

"Just hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."

Mu Xiaowan was so cold that she kept leaning against Ye Jincheng without realizing it.

Ye Jincheng glanced anxiously at Mu Xiaowan and kept stepping on the gas. The journey that usually seemed to be over in a flash was taking forever today.

"Xiao Wan, hang in there a little longer, keep it covered up."

Ye Jincheng thought the knife had cut Mu Xiaowan's carotid artery.

At that moment, he was somewhat afraid.

Mu Xiaowan, please be sure nothing happens to you.

Mu Xiaowan wanted to tell him he was fine, but her mind was completely numb from the cold.

Finally, we arrived at the military hospital.

Ye Jincheng stopped his motorcycle, not even bothering to remove the keys, jumped off, picked up Mu Xiaowan, and rushed straight to the hospital.

"Doctor, doctor!"

His urgent voice echoed in the quiet hospital.

Two on-duty doctors and several nurses pushed the bed out.

Ye Jincheng said urgently, "Take a look quickly, it seems like his neck has been cut by a major artery."

Upon hearing this, the doctor quickly pressed down on Mu Xiaowan's hand, which was covering her neck.

"Put the person down first."

Ye Jincheng quickly put the person down.

The doctor quickly wheeled the person into the emergency room.

Ye Jincheng's fingers trembled slightly when he saw the blood on his hand.

Just then, Ye Jincheng saw a familiar figure walking from the other side of the corridor.

"Jincheng, what are you doing here?"

Chu Junbai hurried over and frowned when he saw the blood on Ye Jincheng's hands.

"What happened?" Chu Junbai thought that Ye Jincheng's brothers had been injured during the mission.

After all, that's what they do, so injuries are inevitable.

"Junbai!" Ye Jincheng didn't expect to run into Chu Junbai here.

He lowered his head and said with some shame, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect Xiaowan well and she got hurt."

"Mu Xiaowan? What's she doing here? How did she get injured?" Chu Junbai exclaimed in surprise.

“We met at the rice noodle shop. I was worried about letting her go home alone so late. On the way home, I passed Huaijiang Road and she said she saw a light on in the house your grandfather gave her. She said she moved her goods there today. She was worried and asked me to go with her to check. Sure enough, there was a thief.”

"It was my carelessness; Xiao Wan has been taken hostage."

"She tried to save herself so that I wouldn't be controlled by the thief, but the thief's knife, pressed against her neck, slashed her carotid artery. She was rushed in for emergency treatment."

Ye Jincheng punched the wall.

"I'm sorry, I'm a grown man and I can't even protect a girl."

Chu Junbai didn't speak. He walked to the door of the emergency room and looked inside.

After a while, the doctor still hadn't come out.

Chu Junbai's usually composed expression gradually turned serious.

Just then, the emergency room door opened.
