"Okay, thank you."

Yu Sangwan heard this and immediately went to support Le Zhengsheng, "A-Sheng, can we go... Did you put on enough clothes?"

"Mm, I’m ready."

...

They left the place of imprisonment, still a distance away from Helian Si’s inner courtyard.

With a ’swish’, a shadow flickered in front of them.

Yu Sangwan shivered, "What happened?"

Le Zhengsheng quickly held her, "Don’t be afraid."

The others also grew tense, "You two need not worry, just stand firm, don’t go out!"

Suddenly, the sound of a child crying was heard from ahead.

This cry... Yu Sangwan’s face immediately changed drastically, she screamed, "Qingming!"

She saw Bun Bun wearing pajamas, barefoot, walking dreamily forward, rubbing his eyes and crying out loud, "Wah wah... Mommy..."

"Qingming!"

At this moment, Yu Sangwan couldn’t bother about anything else, she dashed past the others and rushed over, picking up Bun Bun into her arms, "Bun Bun, it’s Mommy, Mommy!"

"Mommy." Bun Bun widened his eyes and threw himself into his mother’s arms, "There were bad people grabbing me! Mommy, I’m so scared, can you take me home, okay?"

"Okay!" Yu Sangwan was heartbroken and hugged the child tightly.

Ahead, Helian Si arrived with his men. His eyes swept like a hawk, "The child is here; he must be nearby! Get him out for me!"

"Yes!"

Dark shadows swayed in the bushes, "Let go of me!"

Once again, Chen Ke was pushed in front of Helian Si.

"Humph." Helian Si chuckled lightly, "Trying to run? Do you think escaping from Guan Chao is that easy?"

"I didn’t!" Chen Ke knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with resentment, "I’ll only say this once, I didn’t open the door myself! I wasn’t running away on my own!"

"Really?" Helian Si pointed at Bun Bun, "Then what about my child? You won’t even spare my child? Chen Ke, what deep hatred do you have against me?"

"I told you; it wasn’t me!" Chen Ke’s temples throbbed, he had nothing else to say but deny.

Suddenly, from the darkness, a gun was aimed in the direction of Bun Bun and Yu Sangwan!

"Qingming! Wanwan!"

Two figures, without hesitation, rushed forward, both blocking Bun Bun and Yu Sangwan.

Helian Si knelt on both knees, opened his arms, and embraced his wife and child.

Behind him, came the sound of a ’bang’! Yet his body felt no pain...

Helian Si was stunned, Yu Sangwan broke away from his embrace, her face changed dramatically, she pushed him away and rushed toward Le Zhengsheng, who knelt upright.

Le Zhengsheng smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, looking very calm at the family of three, "Wanwan, Bun Bun..."

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan’s lips parted slightly, unable to make a sound. She raised her hand and grabbed Le Zhengsheng’s arm, "A-A..."

Suddenly, the surrounding fell silent, all sounds were automatically blocked.

Le Zhengsheng wore a light gray coat, and now, his back was soaked with blood...

Blood, blood... A-Sheng is bleeding! A-Sheng is the one who mustn’t bleed!

"Ah..."

At this moment, Yu Sangwan lost control of her emotions, she looked up and screamed, why? Why must this world be so cruel? Why be so merciless to A-Sheng? For such a good person, must he leave this world before heaven will be satisfied?

"Wah..." Bun Bun cried along with her, "Papa A-Sheng!"

Helian Si was shocked, he hadn’t expected, in the end, Le Zhengsheng would shield him!

"You!"

Helian Si pointed, "Take him down for me!"

"Yes!"

He turned to look at Chen Ke, "What else do you know? Do you plan to keep your mouth shut? Do you want to see another innocent person get involved?"

Chen Ke smirked coldly, "I told you, it wasn’t me! It’s that you don’t believe!"

"Take him away!"

Everyone withdrew, Ou Guanshen brought along a doctor.

Helian Si advanced, "Wanwan, let the doctor take a look... Le Zheng needs medical attention."

Yu Sangwan seemed lost, she gripped Le Zhengsheng’s hand tightly, as if she hadn’t heard Helian Si’s words.

"Wanwan." Helian Si had no choice but to forcibly pull Yu Sangwan aside and waved to the doctor, "Quick!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Le Zhengsheng lifted onto the stretcher, Yu Sangwan suddenly dashed forward like a mad woman, "A-Sheng, A-Sheng! Le Zhengsheng!"

"Wanwan!" Helian Si’s heart broke, he embraced her from behind, "Don’t be like this, Le Zheng... he needs to see a doctor!"

"What do you know?" Yu Sangwan’s face was covered in tears, "A-Sheng can’t live any longer... He can’t bleed; his blood won’t stop anymore! Jinxuan, it’s me... It’s me who harmed him!"

"No."

Helian Si’s heart ached, "We’ll go together, and watch him survive! You must have faith, the one he trusts most is you! If you give up, how can he hold on?"

"..." Yu Sangwan closed her eyes, her vision turned blurry with tears.

Silence magnified her fear infinitely.

Yu Sangwan clenched her fists tightly, not knowing how time passed... Only knowing that every minute, every second felt extraordinarily long.

"Which one of you is ’Wanwan’?"

The nurse pushed open the door, standing at the entrance, asking outward.

"I am!" Yu Sangwan hurriedly walked up, "I’m here!"

"The patient’s condition is very bad... But he’s been calling your name continuously, go check on him?"

"Okay." Yu Sangwan’s feet went weak, almost unable to stand.

"Wanwan!" Helian Si quickly helped her up, "Take it slow!"

Yu Sangwan shook her head, let go of him, "I’m fine... I’ll go see A-Sheng."

"Alright." Helian Si nodded, watching her go in.

For some inexplicable reason, he had a bad premonition... It seemed that once she went in, there would be a distant separation between them...

"Wanwan." Helian Si raised his hand, gently stroking her hair, "Your hair is a bit messy, and... don’t cry anymore, your eyes are very swollen."

"Mm." Yu Sangwan choked, opened the door, and went in.

...

In the hospital room, machines sounded ’beep beep boop boop’.

Yu Sangwan walked over and sat by the bedside. Le Zhengsheng lay weakly, his eyes slightly open into a narrow slit, making his lashes seem particularly long.

"A-Sheng." Yu Sangwan’s voice was very soft, afraid of disturbing him.

"Wan, Wan." Le Zhengsheng had a breathing mask on, his voice sounded increasingly muffled.

His hands, one was receiving an infusion, the other was receiving a blood transfusion.

Yu Sangwan tried hard to control herself but couldn’t stop tears from flowing.

"Don’t cry." Le Zhengsheng slightly exerted force and clasped her hand, "Do you remember? That year, I tied you up... I was clearly a bad guy, yet you bandaged my fingers for me..."

"Mm." Yu Sangwan sobbed, tears falling profusely.

"At that time, I was wondering..." Le Zhengsheng laughed, "How could there be such a silly girl in the world? Is Lu Jinxuan blind? Fancying such a silly girl... treating her like a treasure."

He paused for a moment, "Later, I realized, Master Lu wasn’t blind at all... Second Concubine, I gave you the wrong title, in Master Lu’s eyes, you were never just a second concubine..."

"Ooh..." Yu Sangwan covered her mouth with her hand, "A-Sheng, say something else, okay?"

"Something else?" Le Zhengsheng tilted his head, thought for a while, "Sure... Initially, I wanted to tell Helian Si in person, but now, my time is precious, apart from you, I don’t want to see anyone. When I’m gone, tell Helian Si for me, don’t worry about the financial storm... Push through the false low points, and it’ll be okay."
