Night had fallen.
A shadow stealthily slipped into the warehouse. There were many guards around, each looking fierce and armed with guns. The slightest sound would catch their attention.
Shi Wan made a gesture to the person opposite her, but Nian Yi immediately vetoed it.
Going in alone was an option, but it was also far more dangerous.
Shi Wan was silent for a while. "System."
System: "At your service, host."
"Can you tell me how many people are on the other side?"
"They're tougher than you," the system bluntly replied, dealing a blow. "Although their combat strength is slightly weaker, they've got far more manpower and resources than you."
Shi Wan fell silent. What a downer.
Suddenly, a shrill scream echoed from inside the warehouse. Shi Wan's eyes narrowed. She checked the time. When she tried to ask the system again, she found it had vanished.
No matter how much she called, it didn't come out.
Time was running out. They only had this one night. After tomorrow, the enemy would surely transfer the person, and it would take them much more time.
Just as she was about to move forward, a man was suddenly thrown out of the warehouse.
There wasn't a single unscathed part on his body. The bloody sight was rather terrifying.
Shi Wan and Nian Yi exchanged a look, and both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
Wasn't this one of the warehouse guards?
How could this happen...
Before they could figure it out, gunshots rang out continuously from inside the warehouse!
Without hesitation, they immediately led their men and rushed in.
As soon as they entered, they found the scene in complete chaos. In another room, a man was tied to a chair, covered in wounds.
"303!" Nian Yi recognized the man at a glance and quickly ordered his men to untie him.
303 had lost consciousness. As they got closer, they saw that his eyes, ears, and nose were gone. His scalp seemed to have been torn off forcefully, and blood was still oozing from his body.
This was the fate of a drug - busting cop once discovered.
"Come and take a look."
Shi Wan stepped forward. The sight made her shiver. Even during her training, she had never seen such a scene.
There were no words to describe it.
Shi Wan brought the medicine to his lips. The man had no tongue and was unconscious. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the medicine into his mouth.
"Get someone to fetch some water," Shi Wan said, biting her lip. "Take him back first."
She wasn't sure if he could survive in this condition.
No one knew what had happened at the scene. Except for 303, no one had survived. Nian Yi ordered his men to handle the last details and then left with them.
After Qin Huanzhou finished his business, he called Shen Siyan back. "The little lady does have the ability, but exposing our men like this. We've spent so many years training them. Aren't you even a bit heart - broken?"
"I don't want her to be involved in any kind of danger," Shen Siyan said after signing the last document. He leaned back in his office chair. "Besides, we were going to get rid of them anyway."
"Fine. You're the boss. You call the shots."
Shen Siyan hung up the phone. Looking at the photo Qin Huanzhou had sent him, his brows furrowed slightly.
It was a photo of Shi Wan and Nian Yi standing together. Amid the chaotic scene, they seemed like the main characters, completely unaffected.
After a while, he was about to delete it but decided to keep it instead.
...
After Shi Wan gave 303 the medicine, she finally managed to save his life.
However, due to his severe injuries, within less than a day, his organs began to fail at an extremely fast rate!
"They injected him with some kind of drug."
"Let's go back first. It's not convenient here," Shi Wan said, her eyes filled with coldness. "By the way, have you found out what happened at the warehouse?"
"Yes. It's related to the U.S. This group used to be active there. It's not surprising that this happened."
"Okay."
At the airport.
The group returned to their country at the fastest speed. With Shi Wan around, 303's life was still hanging on.
Just before getting into the car, Shi Wan suddenly stopped. Her gaze fell on a certain spot in the crowd.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Shi Wan's eyes dimmed slightly. "It's nothing. Let's go. I've already contacted the hospital."
Maybe she had just seen wrong?
At the military - region hospital, 303 was rushed into the operating room, and Shi Wan followed closely behind.
With Nian Yi around, even if people were curious about Shi Wan's identity, they didn't dare to say anything.
"Wanwan, you must save him."
"I'll do my best."
"Major, who was that woman just now? How could she go in?"
"A doctor."
Seeing that Nian Yi was in a bad mood, the man didn't ask any more questions and just stood outside waiting.
Finally, after a long wait, the light in the operating room finally went out.
Nian Yi and the others stepped forward. "How is he?"
Shi Wan looked pale and exhausted.
"He's been sent to the ICU. It depends on his own willpower," Shi Wan said, her head feeling dizzy. Her mental strength was completely depleted. "Call Shen Siyan."
After saying that, she fainted.
Nian Yi was startled and quickly called for a doctor.
"She's just too tired. She'll be fine after a good rest."
"That's good."
Thank goodness she was okay. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to explain it to others.
"Go and call Shen Siyan, the young master of the Shen family."
Nian Yi remembered Shi Wan's last words before she fainted.
...
When Shi Wan woke up again, she still felt very tired. But the continuous stream of energy from her hand made her immediately guess that Shen Siyan was by her side.
"Darling?"
The next second, the man's worried and surprised voice rang in her ear.
The doctor came in, examined her, and then left.
Shi Wan held Shen Siyan's hand. "How long has it been?"
"Not long. Just one day."
After receiving the news, he immediately dropped everything and rushed over. He was relieved to learn that she had just fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Now that she was awake, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Come closer."
Shen Siyan leaned in, and the woman gave him a soft kiss on the corner of his lips.
"Darling."
"I haven't seen you for so long. I missed you so much."
A hint of a smile flashed across Shen Siyan's eyes. "Me too. But we'll have to wait until you're fully recovered for that kind of thing."
Shi Wan blushed. "I just gave you a kiss. I wasn't... "
"Yeah, I know. I was just thinking about it."
The man's eyes were full of teasing, making Shi Wan feel like a little hussy.
"Want more?"
Shen Siyan gave her some water and leaned in.
"Yes."
She hugged him and bit his lip.
Being provoked again and again, if Shen Siyan could still hold back, he wouldn't be a man.
Just as he was about to take back the initiative, the woman suddenly pulled away. "Okay, I'm going to check on the patient."
Shen Siyan: "..."
He'd find a chance to teach her a lesson after she was done.
Shen Siyan stayed in the ward, while Shi Wan went to the ICU. There, Nian Yi and the others were standing outside, looking at 303.
"Wanwan, are... are you okay?"
Seeing Shi Wan coming, Nian Yi asked.
"I'm fine."
"Miss Shi, please... please save 303!" an old man with red - rimmed eyes grabbed Shi Wan's hand tightly. "Years of hard work have all been invested in him!"
"He's a retired general. He's currently recuperating in the hospital."
"I'll do my best to treat him."
Shi Wan looked at the person lying in the ICU, her brows furrowed tightly. No matter how capable she was, she couldn't bring people back to life or regenerate their failing organs...
