Chapter 381: So It Was Him Who Saved Her

"No news is good news. I went through the same thing when I was young. Being a military wife is just like this; not only do you have to hold down the fort alone, but you also have to live in fear every single day," Big Aunt comforted her.

Big Uncle said, "Their mission is very tight, and they cannot contact home. I can only tell you that he is currently safe."

Currently, safe.

That meant his mission was very dangerous, and there was no telling when danger might strike.

When An Yinan returned to the Dayuan, her grandmother was sitting in the courtyard, looking toward the main gate.

"Grandmother," An Yinan called out.

Grandmother stood up and grabbed Nan Nan's hand. "It's good that you're back."

Liu Xicai had not been home this past month, and Nan Nan hadn't returned either. She had seen all the other children, or called those she hadn't seen, so she knew something had happened to Nan Nan.

But she couldn't say it!

If she asked, the children would worry about her.

"Grandmother." An Yinan felt very guilty; her grandmother was so old, yet she still had to worry about her affairs all day long.

"Don't think about it anymore. It's good to be home. Seeing you, Grandmother is relieved." Grandmother laughed happily, just holding An Yinan's hand and refusing to let go.

During her month of hospitalization, she had been tied down at first, and after the bandages were removed, she was made to lie in bed. Every day, she could only look at account books and read books; she couldn't do anything else.

She used to want to rest, but once she really rested, she felt that her previous days were the ones that were colorful.

After staying at home for two days, Yun Fei called her to the study for the second time.

Big Aunt's glares were sharp enough to slice Big Uncle into pieces.

Yun Fei was also somewhat helpless; she was his own child, could he really harm her?

"Big Uncle, what is it?" An Yinan asked.

Yun Fei sat in his chair. "What do you think about what happened this time?"

So, was it time for a review?

"When I first heard Liu Mingxia's words and saw her attitude, I felt there might be a problem, so I took the opportunity to check on her parents."

"Later, I wanted to contact you to have you check their background, but I ran into Bureau Chief Hua."

"He said the Liu family couldn't be touched yet; they were bait left behind, and they needed to find the people behind them."

"As for what happened after that, you should know." An Yinan was confused. Logically, these matters were already out in the open, so it was impossible for Big Uncle not to know. Why was he being so solemn?

Yun Fei nodded. "You trust Bureau Chief Hua very much."

When they were at the hospital, he had seen it; the relationship between Bureau Chief Hua and Nan Nan was not simple, one could even say he looked at her like his own child.

"Well, we're friends despite the age gap. I've known him for many years, even before I returned to the Yun Family," An Yinan said.

Yun Fei sighed, then asked, "Then how did you get to know that person?"

He pointed upward.

"Bureau Chief Hua arranged it. He had me go pulse-check the elder, and later I performed Acupuncture and helped regulate the elder's health."

This wasn't a secret, and many people knew it, but not many people had actually seen her.

So that was it!

Yun Fei finally connected all the dots.

"Do you know who saved you this time?" Yun Fei asked her with a smile.

An Yinan shook her head. She had seen the young man beside Hua Laotou, which was why she had felt relieved.

She really didn't know the situation beforehand. For her to hold on while facing four specially trained people alone was already difficult enough.

How could she have had the heart to observe her surroundings?

Besides, shouldn't those people have been the ones observing?

"Who was it?" An Yinan asked. This person was her savior; she had to find time to go and thank them properly.

Yun Fei slowly said a name: "Guo Tiexiong."

"It was him?"

An Yinan hadn't expected it to be him.

"After your incident, we went to the village to visit. The village officials said that a person in a wheelchair came to report the crime." Yun Fei told An Yinan the situation at the time.

An Yinan thought about it. The place where they had attacked was not far from Guo Ge's courtyard, but it wasn't close either.

She hadn't expected that an unintentional arrangement would save her life.

Although she might not have died in the end, no one knew what the outcome would have been.

"The people on Hua Lao's side had been guarding the police station, and they were originally going to arrange the Liu family matter these past few days."

"No one expected that the Liu family, unable to even look after themselves, would still go and cause trouble for you."

Yun Fei actually felt a bit guilty when he said this.

An Yinan understood why Big Aunt had said it had something to do with Big Uncle.

"So, Big Uncle, what role did you play in this matter?" An Yinan asked.

She had no expression, but deep down, she would never suspect that Big Uncle was bad to her.

The reason she asked was simply to get an answer.

"Actually, even though Yun Shu and Yun Mo had been transferred away, there was always someone secretly protecting you by your side."

Even if Nan Nan hadn't asked, he had intended to say it anyway.

"But half a month before your incident, the person protecting you in secret was transferred away."

He didn't say the reason, but this matter was his decision.

Something had happened in the south, and it required a large amount of military force.

"Just because of that?" An Yinan tilted her head and blinked.

This was a standard military transfer, what did it have to do with her? Besides, it was just a coincidence.

Yun Fei sighed, "Nan Nan, you underestimate yourself."

"Do you think Yun Shu and Yun Mo went to your side because of my dispatch?"

"It was a unanimous decision by the upper echelons of the country."

"Whether it is from the Compilation Bureau, the Hemostatic Medicine, or the contributions you have made to the country, you have already given a great deal."

"The country's concern for your safety is not merely as simple as protection."

He is the Military Region Commander-in-Chief, but he would not occupy national resources just because An Yinan is a child of his own family.

The country issued the protection order because of her own abilities and the contributions she has made to the country.

He was only responsible for selecting the personnel!

An Yinan seemed to understand; she had always thought it was for personal reasons, but it seems she had underestimated her eldest uncle's vision.

"Isn't everything fine now?" An Yinan said.

The time she was injured in the cave, she discovered that her body was different from others; her recovery speed was extremely fast, and for some minor injuries that would take others half a month to heal, she only needed five days.

In fact, she had never worried about her own safety; she liked a free and easy life, and she also needed some space and time of her own.

And these freedoms require coexisting with danger.

Blame others?

No, everything was her own choice; no one forced her.

"Yes, it's a good thing you're alright now."

Yun Fei thought of her that day, looking like a blood-soaked person, and his heart wrenched fiercely; if something had happened to her, he would have failed Yun Liu, failed Huaxia, and even more so, failed Nan Nan.

"Regarding the matter you brought up last time, I discussed it with my comrades-in-arms; the bodyguards arranged for you will arrive very soon, and other personnel will also arrive one after another," Yun Fei said.

An Yinan had asked for people last time, and he had already made arrangements, but war broke out on the Southern Front, and his attention had been focused on the Southern Front.

He hadn't expected someone to take advantage of the loophole.

The two of them also chatted about other things, such as An Yinan's future plans.

In the past, they rarely chatted, and even talking about a child's thoughts and future was something Yun Fei had never done.

However, after hearing An Yinan's plans, his eyes were full of admiration.
