To be exact, it was Xie Yunhai who had his subordinate send the message to him.

So, the problem lies in the communication step. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Why not suspect Xie Yunhai? It’s not really that he isn’t suspected, but that person had no need to do such a thing. If he really wanted his life, he would have died hundreds of times already.

At this moment, in a certain alley, a Gang Ya and a Huang Mao youth were viciously kicking a young man who was holding his head, while in the shadow by the wall, a cigarette’s glow flickered on and off. Xie Yunhai wore a fierce look, with even the harsh smoke unable to suppress his anger.

"Brother Xie, we found out. Someone gave Chen Dong one hundred yuan to buy information, revealing Xu Ya’s whereabouts and Brother An’s address on Magpie Street."

So, Jiang Ming’an was being followed.

But it still doesn’t make sense. If he was followed from the start, and Jiang Ming’an was the target, wouldn’t it have been more convenient to block him in the yard? Even if they didn’t want to act in the yard, what about on the road? Wouldn’t any place be better than the bustling entrance of a cinema?

Xie Yunhai couldn’t make sense of it, frustration building upon frustration, leaving him to unleash all his anger on the person in the corner.

Huang Mao and Gang Ya saw their Brother Xie’s ferocity and feared something might happen, so they hurriedly intervened.

Huang Mao: "Brother Xie, Brother Xie, if you keep hitting him, there’ll be a murder."

Gang Ya: "Brother Xie, Chen Dong is usually reliable. This time it’s because his sister-in-law had a difficult childbirth, and he was in a rush to get money to the hospital. Brother Xie, please spare him this once."

Xie Yunhai sneered: "Spare him? Do I look like someone who’s kind-hearted? From the beginning, I’ve told all of you, regardless of the reason, one betrayal, a hundred times unused. Today, because of him, Ming’an almost got shot in the head on the spot, huh! Just for one hundred yuan? Is it that you borrowed money from me and I didn’t give it to you? What have I said before? If there’s trouble at home, you can speak up... You can leave. Gang Ya, settle this month’s pay with him, and in the future, he’ll have nothing to do with us."

"Brother Xie..." Chen Dong finally cried, it was just a moment of madness, in fact, his sister-in-law had long given birth, and the family didn’t lack money for childbirth.

Xie Yunhai ignored him, quickly leaving the alley. He urgently needed to check on his condition. Although he didn’t know why that person never went to the hospital when injured, he had to see and if it came to it, he would knock the person unconscious and take them to the hospital.

Meanwhile, with Jiang Mingyue, her emotions were still trembling, her entire head not listening, repeatedly replaying that thrilling moment earlier. She dared not imagine how horrific it would be if that stick really smashed on her brother’s head. But her brother’s forehead, in pain, was drenched in cold sweat like beans, that image particularly glaring, as if doused in cold water, and she finally forced herself to calm down.

Jiang Mingyue found the last row of the medication shelf, sweeping the top row of medicines into the basket.

Medications placed at the top are normally never used, as they are for patients with severe injuries.

She had just used her spiritual power to check his injured shoulder, and it wasn’t the expected bone fragmentation, it seemed her brother, when coming to protect her, twisted his shoulder, conveniently deflecting most of the force, but it still fractured a bone. She didn’t know if these medicines would heal his wound, or otherwise, they might need an orthopedic surgeon for surgery, and she wondered if Yan Jinzhi knew any experts in that area.

While thinking, she’d already reached Jiang Ming’an, whose brother had fainted from the pain. Jiang Mingyue held back her tears, quickly forcing him to take painkillers. She called out to Yan Jinzhi, with her brother’s condition, even the best medicine might require an orthopedic surgeon for surgery.

Possibly hearing her trembling voice, Yan Jinzhi descended from Wuyun Mountain in the next second. Seeing Jiang Ming’an on the bed, he was also quite surprised. Jiang Mingyue, seeing him arrive, hurried to explain the situation.

Yan Jinzhi gave her a reassuring look and then took a bottle of liquid from among the pile of medicines.

"Let me have a try, Yueyue, help me sit him up and expose the shoulder."

Jiang Mingyue quickly cooperated.

At this moment, Jiang Ming’an’s left shoulder was already severely swollen, even oozing blood.

Yan Jinzhi disinfected it and then applied the liquid from the bottle onto the shoulder, then produced a bundle from somewhere which, when opened, was filled with various-sized silver needles.

If not witnessed personally, Jiang Mingyue wouldn’t have imagined that this person could also wield silver needles, and his technique was special, as the now-awakened eldest cousin didn’t feel pain, it was as if all pain was suppressed. However, in the middle of the night, the eldest cousin still developed a fever; at that time, Xie Yunhai was also by their side, his worry no less than hers. Fortunately, it was only a fever, and it subsided half an hour after taking medication. But the fever recurred throughout the night, causing quite the turmoil. Luckily, by dawn, after Jiang Mingyue checked, she discovered that the bone fracture’s fissure, which seemed magnified a hundred times the previous day, had astonishingly healed by fifty percent after a night’s rest.

Jiang Mingyue’s tightly-strung nerves relaxed at that moment. Her brother’s injury hadn’t worsened; rather, it improved, indicating the treatment from yesterday was effective. She didn’t think it was just the effect of the medication; Yan Jinzhi’s silver needles must have played a significant role.

Since that was the case, there was temporarily no need to find an orthopedic surgeon.

No one was willing to leave, and Jiang Mingyue, during a brief trip to the bathroom, went to Qingshan Village for a visit to inform the family before coming back. For three consecutive days, they watched over Jiang Ming’an, and after three days, the last bit of bone fused back, and the bone returned to its original state. But to be safe, Yan Jinzhi still cast his shoulder and told him to rest for a period.

Jiang Mingyue suggested her eldest cousin return to Qingshan Village to recuperate, but Jiang Ming’an refused. Before the matter was fully investigated, he wouldn’t return to Qingshan Village. He didn’t want to lead people there and even started to urge his sister not to come by lately.

Jiang Mingyue understood his concerns, repeatedly agreeing verbally. With Xie Yunhai accompanying them, Jiang Mingyue felt at ease. Before leaving, she left a pile of food in the storeroom.

Yan Jinzhi accompanied her back to Qingshan Village, and Jiang Mingyue replayed the day’s events.

"Yan Jinzhi, who do you think wants my brother dead?" This painful lesson also reminded her of before, although the aftereffects of Xue Hong’s stick led to the arrival of her eldest cousin, the indelible fact remains that he is a killer. No, if she has the chance, she will deal with Xue Hong, as none of the Xue Family are any good.

"Three possibilities. First, your brother might have offended someone. Second, the Xue Family is making moves. Third, Liu Chu."

Jiang Mingyue frowned. This... is too broad.

The first one she admitted, but in this case, her sixth sense told her it wasn’t them. That left the last two.

Regarding the Xue Family, on the surface, the eldest cousin hadn’t provoked them, but with Xue Hong competing with her brother for the procurement director position, it shows clearly. This family holds grudges for no reason, and they don’t need any reason to hate someone. Even if Xue Hong saw through a life-and-death experience, now in the procurement department, there’s still Xue Sunjie from the Xue Family. That garlic-nosed person doesn’t look like a good guy, along with the scheming Xue Zongsheng. This person has also entered the department store, and if the two unite, who knows what sinister things they’ll do.
