Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
No one expected Wen Ruo to do this.
The moment she picked up the crossbow, everyone wondered what she was going to do.
However, they underestimated what jealousy and madness could do to a person. Wen Ruo had been consumed by envy and hatred.
Her eyes were filled with resentment as she glared at Jian Yiling.
Once she picked up the crossbow, she aimed the crossbow at Jian Yiling and pulled the trigger. There was no hesitation whatsoever.
The arrow broke away from the crossbow and headed straight for Jian Yiling.
“Yiling!”
As no one anticipated this, there was no time to react.
By the time everyone saw this, an arrow had already been pierced into a body.
Blood flowed out of the body that was pierced by the arrow…
However, it was not Jian Yiling’s body…
Jian Yiling stared at the person in front of her…
Wen Yan.
His wheelchair moved very fast. In that instant, he moved his wheelchair to place himself between her and the arrow.
Jian Yiling blankly stared at Wen Yan. She completely forgot about her job as a doctor.
The arrow that pierced Wen Yan’s chest was dripping blood right in front of Jian Yiling.
A drop of blood from the arrow landed on Jian Yiling’s hand.
Wen Yan was also looking at Jian Yiling. He reached out to gently stroke her head.
However, halfway through that action, his arm abruptly dropped.
Wen Yan had fainted.
He collapsed into his wheelchair.
Had Wen Yan changed?
He was no longer that happy youngster.
Yet, he did what that happy youngster would have.
That summer, Wen Yan rushed out to protect Jian Yiling who fell from the bayberry tree.
Just now, he did not hesitate to rush in front of Jian Yiling to block an arrow for her.
Wen Yan did both of those things.
“A Yan!”
Most people gathered around him in a panic.
As some of them checked the extent of Wen Yan’s injury, the rest restricted Wen Ruo’s movements.
Wen Ruo panicked before she fearfully dropped the crossbow.
When she saw the blood flowing out of Wen Yan, she finally realized what she did.
“No… I… I didn’t mean to do it!” Wen Ruo attempted to defend herself.
However, the people who held her down were Jian Shuxing and Jian Yunnao. They did not care about this so-called explanation from Wen Ruo.

Wen Yan was picked up by the ambulance and rushed to the hospital.
Zhai Yunsheng also arrived with the ambulance.
As soon as he arrived, he wrapped his arms around Jian Yiling.
His arms tightly circled her. It was as though she was about to disappear from him at any moment.
After a while, Zhai Yunsheng let go of Jian Yiling. After he let go of her, he swept his cold eyes over the Wen family.
In the living room of the Wen Residence, everyone’s expressions were very grave.
Wen Ruo was still there. Her face was pale as she was sandwiched between Jian Yiling’s bodyguards.
“Have you called the police yet?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.
Grandma Wen opened her mouth to beg Zhai Yunsheng: “Young Master Zhai, would it be possible to not contact the police?”
By now, Grandma Wen’s face was filled with tears.
“No,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He did not care about Grandma Wen’s thoughts. Instead, he turned around to order his men to contact the police.
Jian Yiling angrily looked at Wen Ruo. This was a look that Jian Yiling had never displayed.
She had never felt this anger before.
“As you deliberately attempted to injure someone and caused them a serious injury, you will be punished by a fixed-term imprisonment of no less than three years and no more than ten years. However, this seems like attempted murder! The penalty for that is death, life imprisonment, or more than ten years in prison!”
