Whether startled by the screams behind her or doing it on purpose, Wu Lili didn't catch Jiang Yuyan when she was about to fall. Instead, she let go of her hand and moved away from her.

'Bang'

Jiang Yuyan crashed hard onto the ground covered with sharp stones, her face and arms were scratched, and her thigh and waist hit a large sharp rock, which cut her from her thigh to her stomach, and blood gushed out.

Pain filled her face, but she wasn't too concerned about that. What mattered was that she could vaguely feel a series of sharp pains coming from her stomach.

Jiang Yuyan's hand, which was covering her stomach, trembled slightly, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

Her belly must not be harmed.

"...Yu Yan? Yu Yan, are you alright?" Master Qi asked anxiously.

"Ah? Bleeding, so much blood, she, she's bleeding—" Ling's mother ran over and immediately saw a pool of blood on the ground, screaming in fright.

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Yuyan snapped out of her daze and tightly reached out to grab Master Qi's hand.

"Master, my stomach hurts so much, my stomach—"

Seeing his apprentice, who rarely showed such vulnerability and was pleading for help, Master Qi felt heartbroken. "Don't worry, Nannan will be fine. I'll take you to the hospital now."

However, even if Master Qi wanted to, Jiang Yuyan was 170 cm tall and weighed around 100 catties, so he didn't have the strength to carry her.

Just as she was getting anxious, Ling's mother jogged over. "Let me carry her on my back. I used to be an athlete, so I'm in pretty good shape. There's no time to say anything now. Come on, help me put her on my back."

Carrying the person on her back, Ling's mother ran quickly towards the gate. She remembered there was a hospital just across the street, and she had to get the person there as soon as possible.

Master Qi followed closely behind, while Old Wu stayed behind, his face ashen as he stared at Wu Lili and Chen Li beside her.

"Are you Wu Lili? Are you Chen Li? What just happened? Wu Lili, why were you pulling on Comrade Jiang? Do you have a grudge against her?"

Terrified, Wu Lili saw Old Wu and his outburst of anger, and instinctively retorted.

"No, it wasn't me, Grandpa Wu, I didn't do it. That woman is a thief. I asked her how she got in, but she wouldn't say, so I tried to take her to the gatekeeper—"

As she spoke, she covered her face and wept bitterly, as if she had just suffered a great deal of pain.

Old Wu said coldly, "Chen Li, you tell me, is the matter really as Wu Lili said?"

Chen Li: "..."

Seeing Wu Lili's pitiful, tearful expression as she pleaded with him, he opened his mouth, and though he didn't want to lie, he did.

"Mr. Wu, Lily, it's exactly what Lily said."

Whether it was his imagination or not, after he finished speaking, Old Wu's expression seemed to grow even colder.

After giving them a cursory glance, he turned and left, leaving Wu Lili and Chen Li looking bewildered and helpless.

People's Hospital.

"Doctor, doctor... Help! Quick, someone's bleeding—"

Ling's mother rushed into the hospital and shouted, shouting very loudly. She had never been so disheveled before, but at this moment she only thought about saving the little girl behind her.

"What happened? How did this injury cause so much bleeding?"

"I....."

"Does the patient have any allergic reactions to the medication?"

"I...I don't know—"

Ling's mother was at a loss, knowing nothing, and looked helplessly at the doctors and nurses, "Can you save her first? She looks like she's in a lot of pain, can't you stop the bleeding first?"

"The patient's scratch wound is quite large. If she doesn't respond to the medication, we need to give her anesthesia—"

"No! We can't give him anesthesia!" Master Qi shouted breathlessly.

"She's pregnant, we can't give her anesthesia. Please, physical treatment will suffice."

The doctor immediately understood and signaled to the nurse to take the person into the emergency room.

Master Qi sat to the side, his hands and clothes still stained with traces of blood from Jiang Yuyan's grip on his hand.

Upon seeing Ling's mother across from him, he quickly stood up and thanked her, "Thank you, comrade. If it weren't for you today, my apprentice might have suffered even more."

Ling's mother quickly waved her hand, "No, no need, sir. This is something every comrade would do if they saw it. You're too kind."

"No, it's only right. I'll have her thank you personally another day when she's feeling better. May I ask your name, comrade? Where do you live? My name is Qi Ming, and my apprentice is inside—"

"The patient has lost too much blood and needs a blood transfusion."

"Hold her down, don't let her move around, otherwise the needle will be crooked."

"....."

Several hours later, Jiang Yuyan was finally wheeled out, looking much better than when she had been brought in.

"The patient lost too much blood. The bleeding from the wound has stopped. However, because she is pregnant, we dare not give her anesthesia or painkillers. She may experience severe pain in the wound when she wakes up. Please be careful not to let her scratch the wound."

Seeing his smiling apprentice turn into this in the blink of an eye, it was impossible for Qi Ming not to be angry.

He called over the guards, "Go, investigate thoroughly what happened today. Also, find out exactly what happened to the woman who pushed Nannan. I want to see what could have made that woman treat Nannan so badly."

And it wasn't just him investigating; the news spread throughout the entire residential compound in less than half an hour.

Now everyone in the residential compound knows that Wu Lili and Chen Li, from a collateral branch of the Wu family, pushed a pregnant woman down in the compound, causing her to miscarry.

Blah blah blah... As the story spread, it became increasingly bizarre.

That evening, at the Ling family home.

When Ling's father came home from get off work and saw the house with the lights off, he was momentarily at a loss.

I checked my watch and confirmed that the hands pointed to 7:30. Yes, it was 7:30 in the evening.

So why isn't his wife home?

Mr. Ling thought for a moment. His wife hadn't said anything about going on a long trip this morning. Could something have happened to her?

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly became anxious and turned around to go out to look for someone.

"Click!" The door opened, and Ling's mother returned.

"Hey, you're back? What's up? Are you going out again?"

Mr. Ling's eyes widened. "You're injured? How come you have so much blood on you? Where does it hurt? I'd better take you to the hospital first—"

Ling's mother stopped him and pulled him into the house. "Sit down and wait a moment. I'll go wash up and change my clothes. Don't worry, the blood on me isn't mine."

"..."

Half an hour later, Ling's mother came out and quickly cooked a simple meal for the two of them, explaining the day's events to Ling's father as she cooked.

"...Blah blah blah, let me tell you, that girl named Lily, she's really ruthless. I could see from afar that she was pulling the girl in front of her with tremendous force—"

"Oh, just thinking about that scene makes my heart race and I feel scared. If she had helped catch her, the girl wouldn't have fallen so hard. You have no idea, the girl hit a big rock on the ground, and blood was gushing out. It was terrifying."

"No wonder when I came back today, there were some older women sitting at the front gate talking about something. Could it be about this?"

Ling's mother curled her lip, "You should have said it. Humph, that Wu Lili is too ruthless. Haven't they been doing all this wrongdoings these past few years by relying on Old Master Wu's name? I think they're going to be in big trouble this time."

Mr. Ling raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? I remember that Wu Lao's grandson is still not allowed to come out, right? If you don't want things to get too tense, this matter may not be as simple as you think."

"I don't know anything else, but it seems that Master Qi, who was with the injured girl, has some connection with Old Wu. They came together."

I think I also noticed that Old Wu's face was quite cold at the time. Who knows, maybe Wu Lili's family will be in trouble this time.

What others didn't know was that a group of soldiers arrived at Wu Lili's door the very next day.
