Chapter 679: Have You Ever Seen a Wolf Pull a Scam?

The mother wolf disappeared at some point.

Soon, it returned with several emerald-green herbs in its mouth and placed them in front of Jian Yining.

Jian Yining:...

Hemostatic herbs.

Very precious, very rare.

He widened his eyes in surprise, even forgetting the mother wolf's ferocious appearance from a week ago, and asked it: "Are there more? Can you get a few more herbs like this? Look, I am a doctor, and doctors charge for house calls. You are a wolf and have no money, so just get me a few more Healing Grasses as the house call fee."

Shi Youxuan, Sheng Hanyu:...

The two of them held their foreheads, speechless.

This guy has burrowed into a money pit and won't come out.

He is even haggling with a wolf.

The mother wolf seemed to understand; it darted out like an arrow released from a bow, disappearing in an instant.

Jian Yining placed the herbs on a flat, large rock and smashed them with another rock.

On the other side.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan came down from the tree; although it took more time, the two of them came down together to help Jian Yining.

The herbs were smashed.

Jian Yining took off his T-shirt, which was the only pure cotton garment he had on him.

He tore the T-shirt into strips, preparing to use them to bandage the wound after the surgery.

Sheng Hanyu started a fire and placed the Dagger on the fire to roast and disinfect it.

Preparations were ready, and the surgery began.

Xiaobai clung tightly to the side of the male wolf; it was clear that the father-son bond was very strong, and the little fellow curled itself into a ball, not daring to look.

Shi Youxuan carried it away.

"Awoo—"

It lay in Shi Youxuan's arms, its body trembling as it kept making "woo-woo" sounds.

Just like a small child.

"Xiaobai, don't be afraid. Your Uncle Ning will definitely cure your father, don't be afraid..."

The Dagger was heated, and the surgery began.

Everything went very smoothly; although the male wolf opened its eyes, there was no fierce glint in them.

It watched calmly as the humans used a knife on its body—the bullet was extracted, carrying bloodstains and flashing with the faint, unique luster of metal.

"Success!"

Jian Yining shouted excitedly.

Performing surgery on a wolf, who else could do it?

Although he hadn't been a doctor for many years, this experience would be something to boast about later; it was so fulfilling!

Sheng Hanyu applied the mashed herbs to the male wolf's wound and then bandaged it with cloth strips; throughout the process, the male wolf remained obedient and did not move once.

"Done, stand up and try."

The male wolf stood up and moved its limbs: "Awoo—" it let out a happy roar.

Xiaobai leaped onto its father's back, and the father and son soon ran far away.

The mother wolf followed, and the family of three disappeared in an instant.

"No way, no way? They haven't paid me my labor fee, how could they just leave? Killing the donkey after it finishes grinding the mill, these wolves are too cunning, right?" Jian Yining was indignant.

But Sheng Hanyu was staring blankly at the bullet just removed from the male wolf.

Shi Youxuan and Jian Yining didn't notice, as the two were bickering.

Shi Youxuan teased him: "A Ning, I think you've burrowed into a money pit and won't come out. Didn't they already pay you your labor fee? Why do you still want more?"

He argued righteously: "How fresh, are these few herbs enough for my labor fee? I am a dignified General Manager of a group company; house call fees are very expensive, you know? At least a lot more is needed to be enough; this little bit is too little."

This kind of herb, I'm afraid that apart from the Bai Lang, no one else could find it at all.

They had been in the Forest for more than ten days and hadn't even seen a single one!

Jian Yining had studied medicine, but his primary profession was a businessman; of course, a businessman cannot do a losing business, no matter where he is, he must maximize profits!

Shi Youxuan mocked him: "You, even if you were about to die, you'd have to ask which coffin shop is cheaper; you deserve to get rich."

The two bickered for a long time, then discovered that Sheng Hanyu was still staring blankly at the bullet.

Jian Yining was curious: "Hanyu Ge, is the bullet made of gold? What are you staring at it for?"

Sheng Hanyu handed the bullet to him: "Look at this bullet, is it familiar?"

Jian Yining took it without even looking, threw it to the side, and even wiped his hands in disgust: "Familiar, of course it's familiar, I just took it out of Xiaobai's father's body, how could it not be familiar..."

"No."

Sheng Hanyu picked up the bullet again and let his wife look: "Take a look."

Shi Youxuan frowned, lost in thought, her facial expression becoming increasingly grave.

"Feiying is nearby," she said.

Back when she was kidnapped at the kindergarten, Feiying and his gang used this kind of bullet.

At that time, the bearded man guarding near Shi Youxuan was idle and liked to eject the bullet, play with it in his hand, and then skillfully install it back.

The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water, and it also shocked the hostages.

The bearded man was near the two of them at the time, so they both had seen this kind of bullet!

"Feiying?"

Jian Yining heard "Feiying is nearby" and immediately stood up in a panic: "Where? Where is he?"

He was scared out of his wits by Feiying; just hearing the name mentioned made him think the man had arrived.

Sheng Hanyu said, "The male wolf was wounded by Feiying, and this bullet is one specifically used by Feiying's gang, so Xuanxuan deduced that he is nearby."

Jian Yining:...

Zhu Yiwen is sinister and cunning; he is difficult enough to deal with on his own, and now with Feiying added to the mix, the odds of winning are even lower.

Sheng Hanyu saw that Jian Yining was afraid and took the initiative to say, "A Ning, if you are afraid, you should go back; don't force yourself."

Shi Youxuan also said, "That's right, with Hanyu and me here, we can fully represent you, and we wouldn't be in breach of contract. A Ning, you should go back; Wan'er hasn't finished her postpartum recovery yet, and this is when she needs her husband's company the most."

Jian Yining's devilishly handsome face turned the color of a pig's liver.

He said angrily, "What kind of person do you take me for? I am afraid, that's true! But being afraid doesn't mean I will retreat. Since we came out together, we will advance and retreat together, and live or die together. Don't you two even think about driving me away."

He was a bit agitated, and the flush on his face did not fade for a long time.

Shi Youxuan asked strangely, "Are you crazy? We were just mentioning it; if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Why are you getting so worked up?"

She did not understand, but Sheng Hanyu did.

Sheng Hanyu quietly nudged his wife in the lower back, and she understood immediately.

Last time, Sheng Hanyu was abducted by Zhu Yiwen while saving Jian Yining, and Shi Youxuan traveled thousands of miles while heavily pregnant to find her husband. Jian Yining had originally wanted to go too, but his mother threatened suicide to stop him, so he didn't make it.

That incident became a thorn in his side, and he had never been able to let it go.

It was like a thorn stuck in his heart, always making him feel like he had a bone caught in his throat.

As it turned out, Shi Youxuan's words just now successfully poked at Jian Yining's sore spot, which was why he was so agitated.

"Awoo—"

The family of three had returned.

Each of the three wolves had several medicinal herbs in their mouths; put together, there were over a dozen.

"Great, so many? Oh my, we've struck it rich!"

Seeing the precious medicinal herbs, Jian Yining was overjoyed and quickly forgot about what had just happened.

They brought the herbs back, but they didn't leave!

The male wolf stayed behind to recover from his injuries.

The female wolf went out to hunt; one moment she would bring back a plump rabbit, and the next she would drag back a tender young deer.

They didn't eat after returning from hunting, but instead placed the prey in front of Jian Yining.

Nianyin was not here, so tasks like grilling and boiling soup were all done by Jian Yining, and Xiaobai knew this.

Xiaobai circled around him, patted its own belly, and looked at the pot.

Then the family of three looked at him with hopeful little eyes.

So, they wanted to eat cooked food.

If Nianyin hadn't said that the Bai Lang were highly intelligent, the three of them would have suspected that they had become supernatural beings.

Wolves that aren't afraid of fire and want to eat cooked food—why don't they just fly to the sky?

Jian Yining grumbled while working, "You guys are really something; you're even more calculating than I am, never willing to suffer the slightest loss."

"You've calculated things down to the bone, and even after bringing back some prey, you still want to mooch a meal..."

Soon, he realized he was wrong.

The Bai Lang family of three wasn't just mooching a meal.

They were simply latching onto them for good.
