Yuan Jiamiao nodded solemnly, "Don't worry."
As more people boarded, Wen Yan and her group were completely surrounded. Leng Xunze glanced at Wen Yan, "Wife, use my phone to call Zuo An and have him come to the dock."
"Okay." Wen Yan took Leng Xunze's phone and started dialing.
Leng Xunze and Yuan Jiamiao were once again locked in a fierce battle. The group in black cloaks, seeing Wen Yan make a call, began to prepare to charge at her with full force.
Just then, a man swung a dagger towards Wen Yan. Wen Yan finished her call and looked up to see the dagger getting closer and closer, her heart pounding in fear.
Leng Xunze, having dealt with the immediate threat, shouted, "Yan Yan..." As he spoke, he pulled Wen Yan into his arms, shielding her with his body and taking a knife blow on his back.
Wen Yan looked up at the man protecting her, tears of gratitude falling. Then she saw the blood on the ground, her pupils constricting. She asked worriedly, "Husband, are you okay?"
Leng Xunze didn't even grunt, "I'm fine."
Seeing Leng Xunze injured, Yuan Jiamiao was greatly alarmed and prepared to charge out, "Xunze, hold on."
Leng Xunze replied with a pale face, "I'm fine."
Seeing that Leng Xunze had been wounded, the attackers urged their comrades to finish the fight quickly.
After blocking one or two blows, Yuan Jiamiao felt that they were truly going to be finished. He looked at the leader of the black-clothed men and asked, "Who exactly are you people?"
The leader gave him a cold glance, remained silent, and then ordered, "Kill!"
Wen Yan watched the blood flow more and more, her worry intensifying.
The leader's hoarse voice commanded, "Attack, kill them!"
A group of people swarmed, completely engulfing the three of them.
Just then, a sharp dagger flew through the air, followed by Zuo An's deep voice, "Mr. Leng!"
The leader, turning to see Zuo An, showed surprise in his eyes. With Zuo An here, this mission would be difficult to complete.
He then ordered a retreat. Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Yuan Jiamiao also called his father for help.
Suddenly, seeing that there was no opportunity to kill Leng Xunze, the attackers all looked for a chance to escape.
Zuo An led his men to intercept some of them, but they committed suicide before he could ascertain who sent them.
Zuo An approached Leng Xunze and glanced at Wen Yan, "Madam, we haven't found out who sent them."
Wen Yan looked at Leng Xunze, who was on the verge of fainting, and ordered, "Send Leng Xunze to the hospital quickly."
Zuo An nodded, ordered the boat to dock, and then took a few people to the hospital.
On the ship, the news of Leng Xunze taking a knife for Wen Yan quickly became a trending topic.
Evening.
Wen Yan looked at the man who was still unconscious, her heart aching.
After a while, her phone rang.
As soon as Wen Yan answered, Bai Quan said with concern, "Yan Yan, I saw the news about you and Leng Xunze being in danger. I've been so worried because you haven't been answering my calls these past few days."
Wen Yan stood up and, to avoid disturbing Leng Xunze, walked aside to take the call. "Quan Quan, I was kidnapped, and I just got my phone back."
Upon hearing this, Bai Quan's eyes filled with anger. "Who did it? Could it be someone from the Wen family?"
Wen Yan replied, "No, it was the head of the Song family."
Bai Quan cursed, "These Song family members are too wicked. Fortunately, you're alright."
She hummed, "Quan Quan, have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Bai Quan replied, "I was discharged long ago."
After chatting for a while longer, Wen Yan had just hung up when the door was opened from the outside. Wen Yan looked up and saw Leng Bairui quickly walk to Leng Xunze's bedside, saying sadly, "Brother, Brother..."
Seeing this, Wen Yan informed her, "Your brother hasn't woken up yet. Let him rest well first."
When Leng Bairui heard this, she became furious. She stood up and glared at Wen Yan, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, would my brother be lying in bed? It's all your fault! Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Saying this, Leng Bairui pointed towards the door, ordering her to leave.
Wen Yan met Leng Bairui's gaze and said word by word, "Leng Xunze was injured saving me, so I can't leave."
"Besides, he's my husband, and it's my duty to take care of him."
Hearing Wen Yan say this, Leng Bairui cursed, "You think you're worthy? Shameless! You only cause trouble for my brother!"
Wen Yan's voice was calm, "Whether I'm worthy or not is none of your business. But by seniority, shouldn't you call me sister-in-law!"
"You..." Leng Bairui was instantly choked with anger. She glared fiercely at Wen Yan, wishing she would never call her sister-in-law.
Wen Yan knew Leng Bairui wouldn't give up. She said this deliberately to make Leng Bairui quiet down for a while.
She walked up to Leng Xunze, "Do you have anything else to do now? If not, please don't disturb my husband's rest."
Leng Bairui snorted, "I will never admit you as my sister-in-law. You are not worthy of my brother at all. I only want Sister Song Na to be my sister-in-law."
"You can have whoever you want as your sister-in-law, but the decision rests with your brother." Wen Yan endured it again and again, but Leng Bairui showed no sign of restraint.
Then don't blame her.
Leng Bairui stamped her foot in anger, her face flushed red. Then she snorted, "I will definitely persuade my brother."
And then she turned and left.
This woman is truly shameless!
Seeing Leng Bairui leave, Wen Yan turned to check if Leng Xunze's IV bag needed changing, when she received a call from Yuan Jiamiao.
Before they got into the car, Yuan Jiamiao wanted to investigate who planned this operation and inform her of the results.
She agreed, and they exchanged contact information.
Wen Yan answered the phone, "What is it?"
Yuan Jiamiao told her the results of his investigation, "It can now be basically confirmed that the Song family planned this operation."
A cold glint flashed in Wen Yan's eyes. The Song family again.
But weren't the Song family targeting her? Why would they target Leng Xunze?
She asked with some confusion, "Why would the Song family attack Leng Xunze! Aren't the Leng and Song families on good terms?"
Yuan Jiamiao explained, "Song Hua's son had a leg broken by Xunze. Perhaps the Song family is seeking revenge. Moreover, the Leng and Song families only had a relationship of mutual benefit. If Leng Xunze married Song Na, the relationship between the two families would be clear. But now, the two families are almost like sworn enemies."
Wen Yan didn't understand the intricacies of this relationship and had never dealt with such matters. After much thought, she decided it would be best to let Leng Xunze handle it when he woke up.
She frowned and said, "Okay, I'll tell him when he wakes up."
"Yes, sister-in-law. If you have anything to attend to, you can go first. I'll take care of him," Yuan Jiamiao said with a smile.
Wen Yan looked at the man's bandaged back and refused, "No need. I'll take care of him until he wakes up."
