Chapter 206: Chapter 206: All are Life-and-Death Friends

The bullet grazed Zhou Ziqiao’s right shoulder, and she stumbled and knelt on the ground.

"Ying ying ying, it hurts so much."

An Yan wanted to help her but was held back by Qingqing, "You run first, I’ll help her."

How could An Yan leave the two behind and escape by herself? She and Qingqing supported Zhou Ziqiao and ran forward together.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from behind.

Zhou Ziqiao looked at An Yan, "Someone’s chasing us!"

An Yan made out her lip movements, turned her head back sharply, and prepared for combat.

Even Zhou Ziqiao and Qingqing revealed their not-so-sharp claws.

But when they clearly saw the three tall figures, An Yan’s defenses collapsed, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Mu Shaoci ran to An Yan, scooped her up, and began to run forward.

Mu Qianfan grabbed Qingqing and ran forward.

Mu Shaoze was dragging Zhou Ziqiao, who cried out with a tearful voice, "It hurts, it hurts! I’ve been shot in the shoulder!"

Mu Shaoze looked at her face, "I thought you were poisoned."

"What?"

Mu Shaoze, carrying her, ran forward and said, "Looking at your face, I thought you were just poisoned, but I didn’t expect you to have been shot as well."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziqiao cried even harder, "It’s over, my face must be ruined."

Mu Shaoze laughed, "It’s alright, whoever marries you just has to turn off the lights."

Zhou Ziqiao: "..." Why is this guy so mean?

The six arrived at the back door of the manor only to find it locked.

"I’ll do it." An Yan stepped forward, took out a silver needle, and prepared to pick the lock.

"I want to see who can leave through this door today!" Gu Chengming’s cold voice came, and as he advanced step by step with a gun in hand, he said, "I really didn’t expect another three useless cobblers to show up!"

Mu Shaoci, Mu Qianfan, and Mu Shaoze stood in front of the three girls, forming a tall human wall.

Zhou Ziqiao put her hands on her hips, "Three cobblers make a Zhuge Liang, and besides, you’re not even a Zhuge Liang, you’re just a lousy turtle!"

Gu Chengming sneered, "Alright then, let’s see whether your mouth is tougher or my bullets. I’m sending you all to heaven right now!"

Just as he pulled the trigger, a bullet pierced the night sky and shot straight into his brow.

Gu Chengming incredulously looked at the French sycamore tree outside the wall and fell backward to the ground.

Everyone looked back and saw a figure jumping down from the tree.

With a bang, the lock was shot off.

The door opened, and Fu Shiyan appeared at the doorway.

He stared at An Yan, frozen in place, and couldn’t help but smile.

Taking a step forward, his dark eyes shimmering, he said, "According to the clichés in novels or TV dramas, shouldn’t you be rushing into my arms now?"

An Yan’s nose felt sour; she grabbed his arm and looked him up and down, "Are you injured?"

"No, don’t worry, I’m fine."

Only then did An Yan rush into his arms, "As long as you’re alright, Ayan."

Fu Shiyan wrapped his arms tightly around her, "I’m really sorry, I arrived late."

At that moment, An Yan felt incredibly satisfied, quietly feeling the strong heartbeat coming from his chest.

Thinking of the three men who had come for her, she let go of Fu Shiyan and turned to give her three brothers a big hug.

"Eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother."

Mu Shaoci patted her shoulder, "Little Five, I’ve finally heard you call me ’big brother’."

Mu Qianfan was a bit proud, "I’ve known Little Five the longest, even though she always called me Brother Mu, I took it as being called third brother."

Mu Shaoze clicked his tongue, "What’s there to show off about? It’s only today that you got to be officially called ’third brother’."

An Yan found their bickering quite amusing.

Mu Shaoci said, "Your second brother sent Bi Zhan back to the country first, don’t worry about it."

An Yan nodded her head, suddenly remembering Zhou Ziqiao’s shoulder injury, which, although only a graze, was somewhat serious for a young girl and needed comforting.

"Ziqiao, how are you doing?"

Being addressed so affectionately, Zhou Ziqiao felt somewhat shy. She tugged at the corner of her mouth, realizing it hurt, "It just hurts a bit, but not as much as my face."

Mu Shaoze raised an eyebrow, "What poison did you get stung with, bee venom?"

Zhou Ziqiao imagined someone stung by a hornet and burst into tears, "Is my face really that bad?"

Mu Shaoze laughed, "It’s not too bad, just resembles a pig’s head a bit."

Upon hearing this, Qingqing touched her own face, her heart filled with a cold desolation.

She was average-looking to begin with, and now she looked even less presentable.

Mu Shaoze looked towards her, "Don’t worry, you’re not as bad off as she is."

Zhou Ziqiao: "..." I really am grateful to you!

At that moment, the sound of gunfire erupted once more, only this time it was coming from inside the villa.

A familiar whistle sounded.

Fu Shiyan took An Yan’s hand and said to her, "Wolf and the others have arrived."

An Yan was exceptionally excited and moved, knowing so many people cared for her, risking their lives for hers.

But she hoped that such a situation would never happen again in the future.

Fu Shiyan understood her wish and caressed her face gently, "From now on, I will protect you and our babies."

An Yan snuggled into Fu Shiyan’s embrace, feeling a sense of security she hadn’t felt in a long time.

Before long, the gunfire subsided.

The villa was ablaze, emitting crackling sounds as thick smoke billowed into the night sky.

Wolf and Xiao arrived under the cover of darkness and reported back to An Yan and Fu Shiyan.

Everyone standing together had formed bonds through life and death.

Fu Shiyan ordered Xiao to deal with Gu Chengming’s body, confirming whether it was really him or a body double.

He also instructed Xiao to rescue the bodyguards hanging in the front yard of the villa, to have the doctors treat them with utmost care, rewarding each person with two million.

Zhou Ziqiao raised his thumb, "That’s certainly boss-level generous."

Mu Shaoze clicked his tongue, "Don’t you start falling for him, he’s my brother-in-law. Our Little Five has four brothers; anyone who dares to bully her will have to step over our dead bodies first."

Zhou Ziqiao pouted, "I didn’t say anything else."

Worried that An Yan might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "An Yan, don’t get the wrong idea, I didn’t mean anything else."

An Yan nodded, "I know. Ziqiao, one does not say thanks for great kindness; if you ever need anything from me, just say it."

Zhou Ziqiao felt a little embarrassed, "I was quite impulsive when I had that argument with you before."

An Yan took her hand, "It’s okay, I think you’re quite cute and frank."

Mu Shaoze interjected, "Little Five, she is a bit older, isn’t she? ’Cute’ isn’t quite the right term to describe her."

Zhou Ziqiao glared at him, "If you weren’t An Yan’s fourth brother, I definitely wouldn’t let you off the hook!"

Mu Shaoze laughed as he held his phone up to her face and took a picture, "I’m trembling with fear. Let’s keep a picture for warding off evil."

Zhou Ziqiao: "..."

An Yan suppressed a laugh, "Fourth Brother, stop teasing her."

Mu Shaoze chuckled lightly, "She bullied you before, after all."

An Yan saw Zhou Ziqiao’s swollen face looking even more swollen with anger and comforted her, "Your face will slowly reduce swelling. Once I’m back in the country, I’ll mail you some ointment, it works really well."

"Okay, we should keep in touch more often." Zhou Ziqiao asked, "Could your fourth brother drive me home?"

An Yan looked towards Mu Shaoze, "Fourth Brother, could you please take my lifesaver home?"

Mu Shaoze: "..."

After Mu Shaoze took Zhou Ziqiao away, the rest of them returned to Fu Shiyan’s estate in Country C.

After arranging rooms for everyone, Fu Shiyan hurried back to his own room to find An Yan.

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, he walked in.

An Yan was sitting in the bathtub, taking a bubble bath. She saw the man enter and pursed her lips shyly.

"Your gaze is too direct, stop looking."

Fu Shiyan crouched next to the bathtub, "Direct? Then do you know what I want to do?"

An Yan glanced at him reproachfully, "Don’t speak."

A light laugh escaped Fu Shiyan’s throat as he uttered one word.

In an instant, An Yan’s face flushed red.

Fu Shiyan stood up, undoing the buttons on his shirt, one after another, revealing his chiseled chest.

"Yanyan, can you help me with my belt buckle?"

An Yan’s hand reached for the belt buckle.

With a click, the trousers fell to the floor.

Fu Shiyan shed the rest of his constraints, his long legs stepping into the bathtub.

He stretched out his arms, pulling her into his embrace, pinching her delicate chin, and kissed her deeply...
