The smile appeared both broken and incredibly brilliant.
In the meantime, Yu Xiaobao’s previously tense emotions had completely eased.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaobao’s eyes sharpened, and Wen Jin also noticed it. His attention was solely on Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao used the last of her strength to bite down hard on the other party’s wrist.
The other party was caught off guard. He did not expect Yu Xiaobao to do such a thing. He staggered and Yu Xiaobao broke free.
The surrounding people reacted even faster. The wooden warehouse aimed at the other party and fired without hesitation.
The man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he watched himself get shot in the middle of his brows and then slowly fall.
Throughout the entire process, he did not even close his eyes.
Shortly after, the situation was brought under control.
Yu Xiaobao had been dropped, her remaining strength depleted, and she was cast aside.
Wen Jin rushed forward, swiftly catching Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao’s face was marked with blood. Her beautiful dress was now soiled, and her shoes were nowhere to be found.
“Xiaobao, don’t be afraid. Daddy’s here…” Wen Jin consoled her.
Wen Jin glanced at the chaos in the scene again, the coldness in his eyes unmistakable.
Without saying a word, Wen Jin acted quickly, carrying Yu Xiaobao and heading outside.
Lu Qirui nodded in agreement, signifying his approval of Wen Jin’s actions. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, but no one spoke. Then, these individuals in camouflage uniforms swiftly cleaned up the scene.
Lu Qirui followed suit.
When Wen Jin emerged, Yu Anwan immediately spotted him.
Of course, she also saw the severely disheveled Yu Xiaobao in Wen Jin’s arms.
Yu Anwan’s hands were trembling as she rushed towards Wen Jin.
Yu Anwan was well aware of Yu Xiaobao’s condition, so it was only natural for her to feel anxious in this situation.
The two of them didn’t exchange words, promptly getting into the car.
Wen Jin immediately contacted the hospital, instructing all medical staff to prepare.
In the backseat, Yu Anwan provided immediate care for Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao slowly opened her eyes, completely exhausted.
At least for now, Yu Xiaobao’s heartbeat was gradually returning to normal, and her breathing was no longer as labored as before.
However, the signs of her ordeal were still clearly visible on her face.
“Mommy…” Yu Xiaobao mumbled, “It hurts.”
“Mommy’s here.” Yu Anwan coaxed and hugged Yu Xiaobao.
Yu Xiaobao couldn’t move and simply pointed at Yu Anwan with her small finger. “It’s dirty.”
In Yu Xiaobao’s heart, Yu Anwan had always been the most beautiful person.
When did Yu Anwan allow herself to become dirty?
But now that Yu Anwan was hugging her, she couldn’t care less.
The light-colored dress was now stained with dirt and blood.
“It’s not dirty.” Yu Anwan shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears.
She could tell that Yu Xiaobao had a fever, and it pained her deeply. “It’s Mommy’s fault. I didn’t protect you well.” Yu Anwan admitted guiltily.
“My mommy is the best.” Yu Xiaobao shook her head.
Her voice was soft and intermittent as Yu Anwan comforted Yu Xiaobao. Just like in her childhood, Yu Xiaobao nestled in Yu Anwan’s arms, allowing her to coax her to sleep.
She was genuinely exhausted and, more importantly, Yu Anwan was acutely aware that it was Xiaobao’s fever that was causing their distress.
With deep concern, Yu Anwan looked at Wen Jin, saying, “Can we get there any faster? Xiaobao’s fever is escalating.”
Wen Jin nodded in response and, though remaining silent, his gaze through the rearview mirror exuded a comforting reassurance.
In his brief words, there was an unmistakable determination.
The black Maybach raced down the main road, heading directly to the hospital.
Before long, Lu Qirui’s Hummer caught up with them, followed by several military vehicles with white license plates.
Inside the hospital. Yu Xiaobao was rushed into the emergency room. and. as a doctor, Yu Anwan naturally accompanied her.
Outside, Wen Jin and Lu Qirui waited in silence. They were no strangers to each other.
Both were well-versed in the business world, and their paths had crossed more than a few times. If you were to truly count, Wen Jin and Lu Qirui could be considered university alumni, with Lu Qirui being a few years more senior than Wen Jin.
When it came to business, Lu Qirui held a deep admiration for Wen Jin.
In the business world, Wen Jin was like a cheetah. Once he set his sights on prey, there was no escaping his grasp.
Lu Qirui did not doubt that if Wen Jin were his opponent, both sides would incur significant losses, and the Lu family might not gain much.
However, beyond the realm of business, Lu Qirui didn’t like Wen Jin. Wen Jin had been exceedingly cunning, concealing his intentions so deeply that no one could penetrate them.
What made matters even more perilous was the environment of the Wen family. It wasn’t just ordinary individuals who would struggle in the Wen family. Even those who had weathered many storms might find themselves utterly vanquished.
The Wen family was an unforgiving place.
To ascend to a position of power within the Wen family while navigating such an environment, one had to wonder how much blood stained Wen Jin’s hands and how many individuals’ lives he had trampled upon to reach his current position.
Hence, it wasn’t just Lu Qirui who found it hard to accept Wen Jin becoming the son-in-law of the Lu family, even the Lu family itself couldn’t easily embrace him.
Not to mention the prior entanglement between Yu Anwan and Wen Jin.
Now, when the Lu family had finally located Yu Anwan, the news they received was that Wen Jin and Yu Anwan had once again married.
Lu Qirui chuckled and cast a cold gaze in Wen Jin’s direction.
Wen Jin remained silent, neither evading nor deflecting Lu Qirui’s gaze.
“President Lu, do you have something to discuss with me?”
“Did you already know?” Lu Qirui inquired straightforwardly.
Initially, when the Lu family conducted the paternity test, it was done privately, and given the current political instability, the Lu family approached the matter with great caution.
A paternity test didn’t typically take as long as it did in this case, it was prolonged significantly.
At the time, the Lu family didn’t find this to be particularly peculiar.
Now, upon reflection, it was more likely an intentional delay, orchestrated by someone.
And as for whom Lu Qirui suspected…
He immediately grasped that it was Wen Jin.
Lu Qirui also comprehended Wen Jin’s purpose in doing so. It was likely an attempt to secure Yu Anwan before the Lu family became aware of it.
By making Yu Anwan an official member of the Wen family, the Lu family would find it difficult to meddle in the affairs of the married couple, no matter what they attempted.
Even if they harbored discontent, they could only acquiesce.
Lu Qirui also understood what Wen Jin truly sought. If the Lu family possessed influence in the capital, it would facilitate the rapid integration of the Wen family into the circles of the capital.
These circles of influence were of utmost significance to Wen Jin.
In the long run, Wen Jin could then firmly establish himself within the Wen family.
In terms of ruthlessness and strategic maneuvering, Wen Jin was undoubtedly a master..
