Chapter 1203: Reinforcements Have Arrived

"Why are these two wolves howling? Speak."

Zhu Qingrui asked Nianyin viciously.

He was now extremely regretful that he had made that phone call to Shi Youxuan; damn it, he hadn't managed to get a single word out about the Treasure, and he had brought a lot of trouble upon himself to boot.

Just after hanging up the phone, he had called Liu Quan to have him send more men over to support him.

As a result, for such a small matter, he had been cursed at roundly by Liu Quan, who scolded him for being unable to accomplish anything but good at ruining things, and for causing chaos whenever manpower was short—why was he idle enough to go provoke Shi Youxuan?

Zhu Qingrui was usually very rational, but now he was very irritable and really wanted to curse out loud.

But he couldn't right now; Liu Quan currently controlled L Country and was at the height of his power.

Liu Quan had done this on purpose, suppressing him with momentum first to make it easier to control him in the future.

Therefore, after scolding him, Liu Quan still agreed to send troops over.

The tone, however, was not one of cooperation, but a high-and-mighty tone, agreeing as if bestowing a favor.

Zhu Qingrui was bursting with anger, and at this moment, the abnormal behavior of the Bai Lang made him suspicious.

He asked Nianyin, and Nianyin smiled contemptuously: "How would I know what they are saying? I am not a beast; you should go ask them yourself, you are the same kind."

"Slap!"

A slap landed on Nianyin's face; this blow was very heavy, and a taste of blood welled up in Nianyin's mouth.

"Ptooey!"

Bloody saliva was spat onto Zhu Qingrui's face.

"Damn it, you woman, are you trying to disgust me even when you're at death's door?"

He was furious, and the pent-up frustration in his heart had to be vented; Nianyin became the outlet.

He took out his gun, aimed it at Nianyin's head, and prepared to fire!

Ji Yingjie could not be killed.

Nianyin was just a small Guard of hers; killing her was no big deal.

At this moment, the groggy Ji Yingjie suddenly opened her eyes and sternly scolded: "You little brat, you are not allowed to kill her. If she dies, don't even think about getting the whereabouts of the Treasure. I swear to the gods, Nianyin and the Treasure are one and the same."

Zhu Qingrui:...

Damn it, is a Guard even worth her protecting like this?

When she wanted to kill her own biological children, he hadn't seen her protect them like this.

Nianyin could not be killed, but the bullet was already in the chamber, and this evil fire still had to be vented.

So he fired a shot at random.

"Bang!"

This shot, for better or worse, happened to hit the fingerprint lock of the cage.

"Awoo—"

"Awoo, awoo—"

The two Bai Lang, who had been feigning cold detachment, instantly returned to their cowardly nature, so scared that their voices went out of tune.

They had thought the bad guy who broke in from the outside was going to kill them.

But they soon realized, it wasn't!

The cage door had actually opened?

What had happened?

Had the bad guy changed his ways?

That wasn't important; what was important was that they were free, hurry and run.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Two streaks of white light ran out of the cage with the speed of a sword.

The people outside hadn't even figured out what was going on when three more streaks of white light rushed over, charging rapidly into the crowd.

The gun in Zhu Qingrui's hand was knocked away, and soon he was bitten hard.

This bite landed on his leg, tearing off a large chunk of skin and flesh.

"Ahhhhh!"

He was in so much pain he almost fainted.

He wanted to fire his gun, but the gun in his hand was already gone.

The others were not much better off than him.

The Bai Lang charged into the crowd, and the well-trained soldiers were thrown into chaos.

They were too fast, so fast that even if they wanted to shoot, they couldn't aim.

Consequently, some people fired blindly, and as a result, they didn't hurt the Bai Lang but accidentally wounded their own men.

At this moment, someone realized that not everyone was on their side; there were also strangers from the outside—how did they get in?

There was no time to think too much; fight, as long as they weren't their own people, fight them, fight them to the death!

A fierce battle ensued.

Wang Yong and his men were few in number, but because they were all carefully selected, each one could take on ten.

Zhu Qingrui had over a hundred people in the Ji Family, but they were scattered; the others knew there was a situation here, but without receiving orders, they couldn't rashly come over.

And how could Zhu Qingrui even care about giving orders now?

He couldn't even take care of himself.

With the help of the five Bai Lang, Wang Yong and his men ended the battle within minutes and rescued Ji Yingjie and Nianyin.

They had entered from the Forest, and they left through the Forest.

Running wildly through the Forest.

Time is life now; every second must be contested.

Zhu Qingrui was almost snatched away by Wang Yong and his men, but unfortunately, he was cunning and managed to escape.

Wang Yong kept the words of his sister-in-law Shi Youxuan in mind at all times; he did not linger in the fight and ordered a retreat as soon as the people were rescued.

Although Ji Yingjie was delirious from illness, she knew she had been rescued, and sustained by a breath of vital energy, she actually managed to stay conscious while also directing the way for Wang Yong!

There is no one who understands this Forest better than Ji Yingjie.

Zhu Qingrui's men quickly chased into the Forest, but they were bewildered as soon as they entered.

Not only did they fail to catch a single shadow, but they also nearly wandered into a place infested with venomous snakes.

Wang Yong successfully rescued Ji Yingjie and Nianyin.

Once they reached a safe place, they were immediately sent to Jiangzhou.

Three days later.

Jian Family Hospital.

Ji Yingjie finally woke up from her coma; as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her two nieces guarding the bedside.

She asked suspiciously: "Xuanxuan, Wan'er, is it you two? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

After asking, she couldn't even believe this was her own voice; it was very weak, sounding as faint as a mosquito's hum.

But the two of them heard it clearly.

Shi Youxuan: "Auntie, you aren't dreaming. Wang Yong rescued you, and you are safe now."

Wan'er: "But your body is severely depleted right now. Although you are out of danger, you must recuperate properly."

Shi Youxuan poured free-range chicken soup from a thermos, carefully tested the temperature, and then personally fed it to her aunt.

"Drink some soup; you need nutrients to recover your strength quickly."

The chicken soup contained ginseng, goji berries, red dates, and several traditional Chinese medicinal herbs for nourishing yin and replenishing the body.

Ji Yingjie drank less than half a bowl before she couldn't drink any more, and she shook her head slightly.

She didn't force her; she set the bowl aside and returned to the bedside, but her aunt had already fallen asleep.

Although she had fallen back asleep, her hand was still tightly gripping Wan'er's hand and would not let go.

Shi Youxuan whispered: "The triplets will be out of school soon; you go pick up the children, I'll stay here."

Wan'er: "It's fine, I'll stay here so Auntie can be more at ease. You should go back; you've already been guarding here for several days."

"When you go out, call A Ning and tell him to take extra care of the children. I'll stay here for these few days."

Seeing her say this, Shi Youxuan didn't insist and agreed before heading out.

After making the call, she didn't go home but went to Nianyin's Hospital Ward instead.

"Sister, how is my mother?" Nianyin asked with concern.

These past few days, every time she saw Shi Youxuan, this was the question she asked.

"She just woke up, drank half a bowl of chicken soup, and fell back asleep. Don't worry, her body is slowly recovering."

Nianyin breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time, a smile appeared on her face: "That's great, as long as Mother is fine."

Her own injuries were actually more severe than Ji Yingjie's, but she had no fever and her consciousness remained clear.
