The gunshot stunned and froze everyone in the alley.

Shortly after, they heard the sound of car engines on both sides of the alley.

It sounded as if the Grim Reaper had come knocking!

Immediately after, a group of well-trained bodyguards in black rushed in from all directions, including a few who jumped down from the houses on both sides of the alley.

A gun was pointed at the head of the man beside Mu Anan.

Gunshots erupted in the narrow alley. Coupled with screams, the alley instantly turned into a living hell.

Mu Anan was clutching her clothes. The bandage on her right hand was long gone and her hand was a bloody mess.

However, when she turned her head, she saw a light at the entrance of the alley…

A black car door was respectfully opened. A pair of black leather shoes stepped onto the wet ground and a pair of long legs wrapped in suit pants followed.

When the man appeared, the people around him respectfully held up black umbrellas.

It was raining heavily, but he looked perfectly composed. When he walked in, he carried with him a murderous aura, as if he had risen from the gloomy underworld with his body stained in blood.

Cold and terrifying!

Mu Anan felt her eyes burn as she looked at him.

She felt as if the man’s light had shone on her.

Mu Anan couldn’t move. Her heart was beating wildly as she shouted excitedly, “Seventh master…”

The man had already squatted in front of her and covered her eyes. Mu Anan then felt herself being pulled into a familiar and safe embrace.

She heard a gentle voice beside her ear. “Be good. It’s okay now.”

Then, Mu Anan felt her entire body being lifted.

Zong Zhengyu’s face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

As he walked past the dumbfounded Chen Jiali, his death gaze swept over her. Chen Jiali, who was already shocked by the sudden turn of events, shuddered.

She felt his gaze like she felt an Asura from hell.

With just one look, she felt as if her skin had exploded.

Luo Sen stepped forward. “Seventh Master.”

Zong Zhengyu lowered his head and looked at Mu Anan. His eyes, which were originally filled with death, turned gentle. “Go to sleep now. You’ll be fine once you wake up.”

His words were extremely gentle.

However, when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness again. His voice was cold and terrifying as he ordered, “Repay with twice the cruelty!”

He then carried Mu Anan into the car and left.

In the alley that had become a battlefield, there was only Chen Jiali who was scared out of her wits.

Luo Sen put away his gun, grabbed a steel rod from the ground, and swung it at Chen Jiali’s head.

Like an emotionless robot, he executed Zong Zhengyu’s orders to a tee – repaid with twice the cruelty!

…

In the car…

Mu Anan was without consciousness.

From the moment Zong Zhengyu appeared, the remaining rationality that she had clenched her teeth to keep had completely collapsed because she knew that her Seventh Master was here, and she was safe.

It was just like that year when she had lost all hope in fear.

It was the light that Seventh Master brought with him that showed her a way home.

Mu Anan curled up in Zong Zhengyu’s arms almost instinctively. Her trembling and weak appearance made Zong Zhengyu’s heart ache.

“You are okay now.”

He comforted her again and again.

Mu Anan had already fallen unconscious.

The car arrived at Yuyuan Estate.

The alarm sounded throughout the estate and the medical team led by Gu Shuqing was ready.

However, when Dr. Gu saw Zong Zhengyu carrying Mu Anan out of the car, he gasped.

He knew that something had happened to Mu Anan, but he had never expected her to be so seriously injured.

However, Dr. Gu could not answer this question. He immediately followed Zong Zhengyu upstairs to treat Mu Anan’s injuries.

Just as Zong Zhengyu was about to put Mu Anan on her bed, the unconscious Mu Anan suddenly woke up and grabbed Zong Zhengyu’s clothes. “Seventh Master, it’s not her.”

Mu Anan fell unconscious again.

Zong Zhengyu’s face remained still.

But when he looked away from Mu Anan, there was no gentleness in his eyes.

He had become the terrifying Seventh Master again!

He left Mu Anan’s room.

Luo Sen had dealt with the matter in the alley efficiently and was giving Seventh Master an update on the matter today.

“Chen Jiali, 20 years old. She’s a medical student and Miss Anan’s classmate. She is a bully in school. A few days ago, she had a conflict with Miss Anan in the toilet. She then tried to frame Miss Anan at King Bar but failed.”

“This time around, she worked with Chen Hua and gave Miss Anan a double dose of sleeping pills, which caused Miss Anan to be injured.”

As Luo Sen reported, he handed information about Chen Jiali, Chen Hua and the others to Seventh Master.

Including information about the bottled water that Chen Hua handed to Mu Anan when she came out of the convenience store. It was the best time to drug her that day.

“She has never suffered like this.”

A deep voice sounded in the corridor.

When Luo Sen met Zong Zhengyu’s murderous eyes that looked like he was going to slaughter the entire city, his heart trembled.

Seventh Master was really pissed!

Luo Sen paused for a few seconds before he said, “Seventh Master, I’ll deal with it immediately!”

Before Luo Sen left, Zong Zhengyu said, “Leave Chen Hua alone.”

Although Luo Sen did not understand Seventh Master’s order, he still did as he was told.

…

It took Dr. Gu two hours to finish examining Mu Anan and treating her injuries.

The external injuries were serious. Although her internal injuries weren’t as serious, there was still harm done.

Dr. Gu’s heart ached when he saw her injuries, let alone Seventh Master.

After Dr. Gu’s treatment, Zong Zhengyu accompanied Mu Anan the entire time.

On the same night that Mu Anan fell into a coma, significant shifts happened in Jianglan City.

The Chen family business, Chen Pharmaceuticals, which was not a small one in Jianglan City, was reported for quality problems and was shut down on the spot.

The police had also followed the clues and evidence and found out that the medicine came from Jiang Medical.

Jiang Medical was immediately implicated and ordered to stop all business operations and to cooperate with police investigations.

The good PR that CEO Jiang had generated in front of the media when the truth about his wife’s murder eight years ago was exposed was all gone.

Jiang Medical, which had operated smoothly for eight years, faced its first crisis.

Jiang Zhen had gone around looking for help, but to no avail.

Little did he know that the culprit that started it all was his precious daughter who offended someone she shouldn’t have.

At the same time, community news reported, “The boss of Chen Pharmaceuticals was unable to repay his huge gambling debt and was cornered by loan sharks in an alley and beaten to a pulp by steel rods. When he was found, he was still breathing. He felt every pain in his body before he finally died.”

As soon as the news about the boss of the Chen Pharmaceuticals came out, someone reported that a medical student named Chen Jiali was suspected of… Moreover, a violent video about Chen Jiali was exposed on the school’s intranet. The school couldn’t delete it no matter how hard they tried. It also caused a big sensation.

Someone said that they saw Chen Jiali in a garbage dump, apparently without her right hand.

There were also people who said that they saw Chen Jiali among beggars, laughing like a lunatic but still with her right hand, albeit with only bones and no flesh. It was a horrifying sight.

However, these were just rumors, which stopped when the rainstorm in Jianglan City finally ended.

Mu Anan ran a high fever and had nightmares for a few days before her physical condition gradually stabilized.

Zong Zhengyu kept her company the whole time and did not leave Mu Anan’s room for three days. Mu Anan held his hand the entire time.

He was Mu Anan’s savior, her whole world.
