Ji Yan hugged the child tightly in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness and reluctance, and the child seemed to be afraid of losing this sense of security, and tightly grasped Ji Yan's clothes and hair. Whenever there was a slight disturbance in the outside world, he would frown, ready to defend his own little world with crying.

"Yanyan, let me check the baby."

Zheng Haoqian's voice was gentle and caring. He gently stretched out his hand and tried to take the child from Ji Yan, but the child's reaction forced him to give up the idea.

He shook his head helplessly, turned around and sat aside, silently guarding the mother and child with his eyes.

This scene was undoubtedly a sharp knife to Su Su, who was standing not far away, piercing her heart deeply. Her eyes were fixed on Ji Yan, with sparks of unwillingness and jealousy flashing in her eyes.

She couldn't understand why Ji Yan could so easily get everyone's love and care, while she, no matter how hard she tried, seemed to be forgotten by fate and could not get any attention from Lu Nanxu.

"why why?"

Su Su repeatedly questioned herself in her heart, her emotions gradually lost control, and her resentment surged out like a flood. She stared at Ji Yan with wide eyes, as if she wanted to devour her with her eyes.

"Ji Yan, do you think you won? You are just a disaster star. Everyone who gets close to you will be brought misfortune by you! Look at your child, he is so young, but he has suffered so much because of you! And Fu Jingyan, he also..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Helian Minxiao's roar: "Shut up!"

The sound was like thunder, shaking Su Su's whole body.

At that tense moment, Ji Yan's heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer. She looked up suddenly and stared at Su Su with sharp eyes, trying to catch any clues about Fu Jingyan from the other party's words.

"Su Su, what do you know? Fu Jingyan...what happened to him?"

Although Ji Yan's voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

Su Su looked at Ji Yan's face, which was slightly pale due to anxiety, and an inexplicable pleasure surged in her heart. Her laughter rang out again, sharp and piercing, like a sharp blade cutting through the tranquil surface of a lake.

"Haha... Ji Yan, have you finally felt this uneasiness? Do you think everything you have is so perfect? ​​You are wrong, absolutely wrong! Everyone around you, including Lu Nanxu, is hiding unspeakable pain from you!"

Ji Yan's body trembled slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let her emotions break down.

"Su Su, please tell me, what happened to Fu Jingyan? He is the most important person in my life, I can't live without him!"

Her voice was full of pleading and helplessness.

However, Su Su just sneered, her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred towards Ji Yan.

"I won't tell you, Ji Yan. Just continue to live in the lies they have woven for you and enjoy this moment of peace until the truth cuts your world apart like a sharp blade!"

Su Su's words were like ice, making people shudder.

Suddenly, a trace of determination flashed in Su Su's eyes. She seemed to be driven by some force and rushed towards the baby girl in Ji Yan's arms regardless of everything.

Ji Yan was horrified and wanted to stop it but it was too late. Su Su snatched the child away with a crazy look in her eyes and was about to throw her to the ground.

At this critical moment, Lu Yi's figure flashed by like lightning, and his finger was already on the trigger. The gunshot was deafening, and Su Su's body stiffened instantly, and then slowly fell down, and blood quickly spread under her.

Ji Yan watched all this in horror. She hugged the child in her arms tightly, as if that was her only support.

He Fei, Su Su's loyal follower, was even more distraught when he saw this. He struggled desperately and screamed, "Miss! Miss!"

While running towards Su Su, he could only watch her fall in a pool of blood.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and sadness, and Ji Yan's heart seemed to be torn apart.

She didn't understand why things turned out like this? Why did Su Su attack an innocent child? And where was Fu Jingyan? What had he been through?

At this moment, Ji Yan felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness. But she knew that she could not fall down, because she still had children to protect and unsolved mysteries to uncover.

Zheng Haoqian rushed to Ji Yan's side and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to use all his strength to resist the cold and darkness outside.

"Yanyan, Yanyan, are you okay?"

He called out again and again, his voice filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but Ji Yan seemed to be in another world. Her eyes were empty and blurred, and she did not respond at all to Zheng Haoqian's calls.

Seeing this, Helian Minxiao quickly and steadily caught the child who was almost dropped by Su Su. The little life was comforted in his broad chest, and the crying gradually subsided.

He lowered his head and gently coaxed the baby in his arms with his voice so gentle that it could drip water.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Dad is here, everything will be fine."

The child's sobbing gradually weakened, and finally turned into a few weak sobs. He snuggled in Helian Minxiao's arms, as if he had found a new safe haven.

Seeing this, Lu Nanxu and others quickly made a decision. They knew that this place was no longer a safe place and they had to leave as soon as possible.

So they carefully took Ji Yan and the child, walked through the chaotic scene and walked out of the cabin.

At the moment of leaving, Lu Nanxu's gaze lingered on He Fei for a moment. It was a complex and deep look, which contained helplessness, sympathy and uncertainty about the future.

He nodded slightly and signaled to Lu Yi: "Deal with it."

Lu Yi understood what Lu Nanxu meant.
