Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

Li Zhao and the others were escorted away by several police officers. Lu Jingguan's expression was cold and clear, still as authoritative as ever, and he said, "It's been a very long time since I've encountered a dispatch this late."

Jiang Wenyu and the others didn't speak. Chen Lan was carefully helping Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen wipe their wounds. Chen Na stood to the side with her arms crossed, her eyes red, head lowered, not saying a word either.

For two consecutive days, Lu Jingguan had been dispatched because of Jiang Wenyu, which was rare, and this time it was still Li Zhao and his group who were taken away.

"The situation is a bit serious this time. You all come with me for a trip as well."

Chen Lan looked at Lu Jingguan's tightly knitted brows and asked, "Does this mean Li Zhao has to be released again?"

Lu Jingguan seemed to hesitate for a moment, but ultimately didn't speak, and the four of them were just taken away by Lu Jingguan like that.

……

Around eleven at night, the four of them were finally released. They didn't go to the hospital; hospitals in this era weren't places they could afford, and moreover there weren't any decent doctors. Minor injuries like these just needed some medicinal wine applied at home.

They didn't get a definite answer from Lu Jingguan, even though they explained the situation truthfully. Because of this, their faces were all gloomy on the way back.

Among the four, only Chen Na walked at the back, her gaze fixed on Jiang Wenyu with a resentful look the whole time.

After walking for a while, Li Chen said, "Alright, I'm heading back first."

Jiang Wenyu nodded and said, "Li Chen, many thanks."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "What's there to be polite about? See you tomorrow!"

Only after watching Li Chen leave did Jiang Wenyu let out a sigh. If not for Li Chen's help this time, his injuries would definitely not have been much better than Li Zhao's.

"Treat Li Chen to a meal later." Chen Lan said softly.

Jiang Wenyu smiled and nodded, also helping Chen Lan tidy her messy hair. In the chaotic fight, Chen Lan had been fierce as well; luckily she usually kept her fingernails not too short, and she had actually scratched several cuts on Li Zhao's neck.

As the two spoke, Chen Na, who had been trailing behind, suddenly turned and tried to leave.

"Chen Na!"

Chen Lan stopped her, ran up, and said, "It's too late. Stay at our place for the night."

Her tone was very gentle, but Chen Na's body trembled, and without turning back she said irritably, "No need!"

Finishing her words, she walked away quickly. Watching Chen Na's departing figure, Chen Lan still looked worried, while Jiang Wenyu hadn't said much from start to finish.

Back at the police station, everything had already been laid bare. Chen Na had brought Jiang Nuannuan to lure Chen Lan to meet Li Zhao, which ultimately led to this incident. But Chen Na's target was Jiang Wenyu; she hadn't expected to drag Chen Lan into it. Plus, Chen Na had helped them at the time, so under Chen Lan's explanation, Chen Na wasn't locked up along with them.

Moreover, even without Chen Na, Li Zhao would definitely have come after them again. For this reason, Jiang Wenyu didn't blame Chen Na excessively, but he also didn't exchange a single extra word with her.

Following the road, they finally returned to their doorstep, and happened to see Zhou He still waiting there, still holding Jiang Nuannuan's little hand, looking like he'd waited until he was a bit impatient.

"Dad! Mom!"

Jiang Nuannuan ran over the moment she saw them. Who knows how she recognized the two of them in a night like this.

Jiang Wenyu was the first to crouch down, smiling as he picked up Nuan Nuan. Chen Lan also immediately checked little Nuan Nuan for injuries. Fortunately, the little girl hadn't been hurt in the scuffle; only her eyes were a bit red and swollen from crying.

For a child, witnessing that kind of scene would surely leave some shadow. This was what Chen Lan and Jiang Wenyu were more concerned about, even feeling guilty over it. But little Nuan Nuan's cheerful appearance seemed like she didn't care at all.

The family of three acted as if nothing had happened. Zhou He watched this scene and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, then walked past them without a word, heading off into the distance.

"Zhou He."

Walking along, he was stopped by Jiang Wenyu's call. He turned back, only to see a small black shadow fly toward him. He subconsciously reached out and caught it. Being very sensitive to money, he immediately realized what it was, just couldn't tell how much in the night.

At the same time, he heard Jiang Wenyu's voice again.

"Thanks for these two times." The voice was very flat. Zhou He also didn't say a word, scratched his head again, turned, and left.

This extraordinary and deeply memorable night just passed away like that.
