her chest to press against Feng Tan's arm.Feng talked about sex with a smile, he put his arms around the woman's waist, and the hand that was pulled to her chest by the woman, unceremoniously pinched...Lin Meng finally finished roughly bandaging Xiao Yi's wounds. There were two gunshot wounds, one on his back and the other at the root of his thigh. After finishing all this, she was already sweating profusely. In the sweltering summer heat, the air outside was stifling, and her entire back was soaked. When she was having some difficulty holding him, she realized her own condition. Then, she felt that what she had just done seemed a bit inappropriate, pulling his legs apart so directly and bandaging that area was rather bold. Thinking about it now, her pale face flushed slightly with a faint red, but she forcefully ordered herself not to think nonsense.

As her thoughts shifted, she was reminded of the recent assassination attempt. Worry clouded her eyes. Regarding the attempted assassination abroad, Rong Ling had promised to investigate thoroughly, but so far there were no results. At that time, the person had clearly pointed a gun at her, yet refrained from shooting. Rong Ling hadn't delved deeper, nor had she mentioned it. Deep down, she found it strange. Now, she faced a clear and present danger of being hunted down!

To the very bottom, what kind of deep grudge would make someone want to kill her She considered herself a decent person, not making many enemies. So when did she pick up such a powerful enemy And in a country where even kitchen knives have to be registered, they dare to openly fire guns on the street!

What kind of power is this!

Thinking about this, the worry in her heart grew even stronger!

And today, if there were no Xiao Yi, then――

She remembered the woman who had been beside her, then collapsed to the ground, covered in blood. That's when she truly felt fear. If it hadn't been for Xiao Yi, then at that time, it would have been her who fell, and then she wouldn't have been able to get up again!

Her heart was filled with regret, like a cold net trapping her. Her lips trembled, and despite the scorching summer day, she felt a chill run through her body, shivering uncontrollably.

Xiao Yi felt it, and did what a “weak” person should do. He extended his hand, still clean and bloodless, and gently clasped her small hand!

His hands were warm.

And this, right now, is exactly what she needs most!

She grabbed his hand in return.

She was grateful to him; he had saved her again!

"Hold on!" she whispered to him, trying her best to push aside the fear that was gnawing at her. She lowered her eyes, looking at Xiao Yi with concern.

It had been almost six years since he left. Six years that had changed him, etched lines of hardship onto his face. They were most evident in the subtle crow's feet that appeared when he smiled, in the slightly thinner contours of his cheeks, and in the sharper angles of his features. Even though he was smiling at her, nuzzling her with tenderness, his demeanor towards her remained unchanged from before. But the gruff bellow that erupted when he arrived, the forceful way he pulled her along, and the aura of power radiating from him all told her – he had grown colder than before!

Because she had stayed by Rong Ling's side for too long, she was very familiar with the coldness that emanated from his bones!

When his death notice appeared in the newspaper, she was initially naive and believed it. But later, when she stepped out of that delusion and thought about it again, she felt he shouldn't have died so easily. She had notified him in time, and during their interactions, he had patiently taught her about the Silver Wolf Gang. This made her feel that this man should not have been so carelessly wiped out by the police!

Thinking about it, he must have run away and hid! Now that I see him, it's just as she guessed later. He's alive, and he could be standing right in front of her, but now he's bleeding for her!

Her nose tingled, for he was the one she had once hoped to work hard to bring into her heart. Compared to ordinary men, there was something different about him.

"You're still alive, that's great!"

She rubbed her hand against her own clothes, wiping away the bloodstains, then reached out and gently touched Xiao Yi's face, genuinely raising a faint smile.

"Ah-yi, it's so good to see you now!"

That's really nice!

She repeatedly said two "That's really good," her sincere feelings, completely unable to conceal. Xiao Yi opened his eyes, his black and deep pupils, like the surface of a spring lake, rippled in circles.

"Little Meng'er…" he murmured softly, calling her by the same affectionate nickname he had used before. At the same time, he leaned his face into her arms, burying himself deeper, like a child seeking affection!

"Not bad, huh" she replied softly. "Don't call me Xiaomeng anymore, I'm practically a mother of a five-year-old!"

"In my heart, you'll always be my little dream!"

Her heart fluttered slightly, then returned to calm. Without refuting him, she half-lowered her eyes and simply held him closer.

This is the first release from Xiaoxiang Academy.

Nang Tou, who could clearly feel that his phone had been dropped, could no longer sit calmly at his desk, staring at the computer and giving orders!

She is his woman, and she will always be his woman! If anyone tries to take her from him, he will kill them!

Even God cannot stop it!

He drove down and followed the signal directly, finally stopping when the signal stopped moving. The location it stayed at was also in Haigyi District, not too far from his home. Rong Lingzhen felt a sense of irony. His past experience dealing with Xiao Yi had taught him that the man was both formidable and cunning. It seemed this man had been targeting her woman all along!

This idea enraged him, but he was also the type of person who became calmer the angrier he got!

When the car just entered the Haiyi district, he made a resolute decision to drive directly home. The anklet on Lin Meng's foot was his last bargaining chip. When the situation was unclear, it was a treasure that could always be used. Therefore, he had to hide this secret as much as possible! If he wanted to find Lin Meng back quickly and give others a reasonable explanation, he could only deploy his son!

He took out his phone and immediately instructed one of his men who was watching the kid to come forward. He quickly brought the kid back, then made a call to the kid himself, letting him leave school early and return with the man. Because the kid had suffered a major setback before, Rong Ling was very cautious about his movements. The kid also remained extremely vigilant, not trusting anyone who could take him away!

The little guy was very confused and didn't understand why he had to go home.

"Your mommy's phone is broken, daddy can't contact your mommy, so, we need your help!"

This statement is partly true, partly false, but it's enough to deal with a young child. But the young child isn't someone to be trifled with; these days, he has some resentment in his heart.

"Well, Daddy, Yoyo helped you. Shouldn't you promise Yoyo something in return!"

"Say!"

"Youyou wants that Aunt Li to leave our house as soon as possible, preferably today. Youyou doesn't like that aunt because she makes Mommy very unhappy, and Youyou unhappy too!"

"Haohao isn't happy either!" a cold voice chimed in, it was Haohao, who had been home for a few days and was planning to return today. Though he didn't quite understand the situation, he firmly stood on Xiaoyouyou's side!

"Good!"

The curt answer left the two little ones stunned. They had expected at least some haggling, but their father agreed so easily, which they never anticipated. Of course, they couldn't fathom that Rong Ling was furious, utterly incensed! He was fed up with his woman being repeatedly placed in danger!

Now, he didn't trust anyone, so the plan to take Li Lanqiu on a two-day trip and rekindle their old friendship was immediately abandoned. At least, he had to make sure his home was safe and secure, with no one he didn't know lurking around. Then, he would focus his energy on dealing with the enemy hidden in the shadows. Once he caught them, he would make them pay!

Never before had he hated someone so much!

He went straight to his study when he got home, but as he passed by the smaller study room, a habitual impulse made him open the door to the study. The door opened as usual, but his heart felt empty.

The study was spotless, seemingly just as the woman had left it. The chair was pushed back slightly, making him imagine her standing up and leaving. The clean desk held a beautiful ceramic cup with a cartoon pattern—one from a set of three belonging to the family. He could picture the floral tea inside, now probably cold.

Gone!

There was no little woman there to turn her face and give him a sweet smile when he opened the door; nor was there one holding a porcelain cup, sipping flower tea and playfully asking if he wanted her to make him one.

Just realizing she's not here, it hurts so much!

Is it because the only way to contact her is through her phone, which got broken! He couldn't hear her sweet and gentle voice right away!

He couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he quickly slammed the door shut. With a loud "snap", his heart seemed to be ripped apart, aching terribly. However, he resolutely raised his long legs, took a step forward, and strode towards the study with a grim expression. He still had a lot to do!

When the two little guys came back, Rong Ling was already sitting in the car waiting for them. The two little guys almost didn't even step into their house before they hopped into Rong Ling's car a few steps later.

He was too impatient to wait any longer!

He guessed that if Xiao Yi lived nearby, he must have been watching their house for some time. This made him feel ashamed, to have been watched for so long without realizing it. So, he had to be even more careful not to reveal any flaws in his actions. After all, this Xiao Yi was truly profound!ullying me!You have cunning tricks, vicious schemes, poisonous tactics, and lethal moves. Bring them all on!This old lady has invincible equipment on her person. One against one, I'll blast you to pi...
