Chapter 216: Tie Them Up

An Yinan smiled, and the blood flowed even faster, yet she didn't care at all, wiping it away with the back of her hand before saying, "Tie them up."

The words were soft, but in this courtyard where one could hear a pin drop, they were exceptionally clear.

Suddenly, a team of people surged in from outside.

Yun Mo also shifted from a defensive position to an offensive one.

In an instant, he moved forward from the back and went straight to meet the person in the lead; in this courtyard, he was the only one with combat capability.

"I'll teach you to bully my Leader!"

"I'll teach you to hit my Leader!"

"I'll teach you to look for trouble!"

Punch after punch was thrown; those who had already exhausted much of their strength just moments ago could not withstand his fists at all.

Every punch landed solidly!

Just a moment ago, he had clenched his fists but couldn't strike, because the Leader had given an order, and he needed to obey.

Now that the Leader had given the order, he could finally throw his punches!

Ever since being assigned to Quanshui Village, he and the third sister had been responsible for protecting the Leader, and apart from that one time she was shot, he had never seen the Leader in such a miserable state.

He knew the Leader wanted to train her skills, but through long-term contact, they had developed feelings for the Leader; how could he bear to see the Leader get hurt?

Meanwhile, the people who had come from outside quickly subdued these individuals.

"What are you doing? Do you know who I am?" Liu Liu shouted loudly.

As smug as she had been just a moment ago, that was how panicked and terrified she was now.

Relatively speaking, Wei Qing was much steadier; looking at the people surrounding them, what else was there for him not to understand?

He simply looked at An Yinan, "Who exactly are you?"

The plan had been executed very smoothly, save for the two people who had suddenly come to the Liu Family that day.

Liu Xicai, who worked at the Education Bureau—he had long since had her file, and she didn't have the capability to make the Wei Family fall into a trap without anyone noticing.

So, for an accident to occur, it could only be this person before him, who looked to be only twenty years old.

An Yinan rubbed her brow and smiled; she was a bit sleepy, her head ached, and her body felt as if it had been crushed. She could imagine how many bruises she had on her.

"Me? Just a teacher, isn't that what Liu Liu knows?" An Yinan looked at him with amusement.

The person who could set up this plan.

Unexpected.

"Teacher An, this matter has nothing to do with me, let me go."

"Aunt, you can't just watch them bully me like this, Aunt, Liu Liu was wrong."

Liu Liu shouted loudly; the people in the alley were all hiding in their own courtyards listening, and who would dare go out now? Those were Red Guards, they were man-eaters.

Even the family whose wall had been smashed first cursed a few times, but upon realizing they were Red Guards, they immediately hid back inside, not daring to make another sound.

Liu Jiumu let out a cold snort; these past few days she had been wondering if she had wronged Liu Liu, if it had been an accident.

But when she entered today, it completely shattered her hopes.

"My Liu Family temple is small, but it cannot accommodate a great Buddha like you."

"I am not your aunt, and don't call me aunt in the future; I can't afford it." Liu Jiumu felt a heartache—not for Liu Liu, but for all the effort she had poured into her over these years!

And she felt even more heartache for the injured Nan Nan; the blood at the corner of her mouth and on the back of her hand was a bright, shocking red that stung her eyes.

An Yinan, however, didn't pay it any mind; she walked to Wei Qing's side and looked at him carefully.

"Why?"

Wei Qing smiled, "You want to know?"

An Yinan looked into his eyes, then shook her head, "Not really."

Wei Qing cursed internally; is this woman f***ing sick? If you don't want to know, why the hell did you ask?

An Yinan smiled, her voice still soft; no matter how miserable she looked at this moment, no one doubted her beauty, and even fewer doubted her ruthlessness.

Ruthless to others, even more ruthless to herself!

An Yinan lowered her head, then looked Wei Qing straight in the eye, "Someone will help me ask it out; it's something that will be known sooner or later, why be so impatient?"

Wei Qing, "..."

An Yinan patted his shoulder, "Take care!"

Wei Qing, "..."

An Yinan no longer looked at him, but waved her hand, "Take them away!"

In an instant, the crowd left, leaving behind only the messy courtyard to record what had just happened.

"Nan Nan." Liu Jiumu hurried forward to support her, looking at the blood all over her face and her slightly furrowed brows, "Did I hurt you?"

Liu Jiumu quickly let go, feeling at a loss; her eyes were filled with tears, and she didn't know how to handle her.

An Yinan smiled; her eyes were now filled with warmth, devoid of the coldness from just a moment ago, and she said in a spoiled, childish tone, "I want to take a bath."

"I'll go boil water, I'll go boil it right now." Liu Jiumu wiped away her tears and hurried toward the kitchen, even running a stretch to be faster.

Only then did An Yinan let her smile drop; it really hurt.

While fighting, all her focus was on the moves, but only after it was over did she realize, it really hurt!

Big Aunt had long been pacing anxiously in the backyard; since she had stayed behind on the excuse of being ill, she couldn't appear in front of others now—even if the other party already knew it was a trap, she couldn't give them any leverage.

"Why are you bleeding? Why are you hurt?" Big Aunt was frantic, wanting to step forward to support An Yinan but afraid of touching her wounds; she was like an ant on a hot pan.

An Yinan took Liu Xicai's hand, "Big Aunt, I'm fine."

Liu Xicai held her hand, "How can you be fine? Stop talking, don't try to comfort me, go lie down in the room for a while first."

Liu Xicai helped her sit on the bed and wanted to help her take off her clothes, but was blocked by An Yinan.

"I'm going to take a bath in a moment; I got covered in sweat just now." An Yinan raised a smile, comforting Liu Xicai.

Liu Xicai gave her a deep look, "Alright, if you don't want me to see, I won't look. I'll have Yun Shu come help you in a moment. You rest for a while first, don't move around."

An Yinan was extremely well-behaved at this moment and hurriedly nodded.

Although Qin Hao was a military doctor, men and women should keep their distance, so he couldn't help check the wounds either.

"This is Hemostatic Medicine, this is medicine for bruising, and this is medicine for bone and tendon injuries. If it's truly serious, you'll have to go to the hospital." Qin Hao took the necessary medicine out of the medical kit and handed it all at once to Yun Shu, who had just returned.

Yun Shu had gone to the Compilation Bureau to submit a mission; she hadn't expected the timing to be such a coincidence.

If she had been there...

Sigh, if she had been there, the Leader wouldn't have let her do it herself.

She had always wanted to train her own skills; ever since being shot last time, the Leader had paid even more attention to training.

With the Leader's temperament, she definitely had to fight to her heart's content...

"I understand." Yun Shu nodded, held all the medicine in her arms, and then knocked on An Yinan's bedroom door.

"Come in." An Yinan leaned against the pillow; she truly couldn't lie down right now. The intense pain all over her body hadn't been felt while fighting, but now it hurt even more severely.

"Leader." Yun Shu called out, then closed the bedroom door.

"Shall I take a look for you first?" Yun Shu asked.

An Yinan waved her hand, "Wait a moment, I'm going to take a bath first."

She wanted to take a bath, this matter was real! Now covered in sweat and dirt, she really couldn't sleep soundly without bathing, and besides, there was no way to apply the medicine.
