Zheng Min's Injury

"They thought it was the Lin family's property, assuming we must have kept a backup!" Grandpa Lin sighed.

Lin Nan immediately understood the logic of those bandits and said solemnly, "Thanks to my warning, combined with the original seeds, Lu Yuan has made further progress in their research. I studied the mysterious fragments from the back mountain of our village, but I didn't participate in the subsequent research. However, I believe this research will only bring the country closer to its goals. They must have sensed this, and with me now in Jing City, they fear what I might do, so they decided to keep an eye on all of us."

There were some things that Lin Nan did not mention, but they knew enough to avoid asking unnecessary questions. Hearing Lin Nan's words now, they understood even more clearly the danger they were in...

"Have Ah Min come back home," Grandpa Lin decided immediately. "As for Lin Shuang's whereabouts, if my prediction is correct, they will return to Jing City to threaten us, otherwise they won't get what they want. We need to prepare and make sure we rescue her."

Relieved to know she wasn't the primary cause, Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

She was mainly afraid that everything was because of her; if so, she would truly feel guilty.

Once they understood the situation, the old man and the others began to take action. Lin Nan did not get involved, fearing that her appearance would lead them to try to take her away at any cost. So, she stayed low-key at home, taking care of the children, watching the Lin family's kids bicker and laugh...

Zheng Min was brought back by Ada and the others after being injured.

When they arrived home, her entire arm was covered in blood, terrifying everyone. Lin Youyou and Lin Shu (original name: Lin Shuang) were both frightened to tears.

"What happened?" Lin Nan remained relatively calm, instructing her sister-in-law to fetch medicine before helping Zheng Min sit down. She then looked up at Ada and the others and asked.

Ada and the others looked quite disheveled as well. Once seated, they began to recount the events.

"It was fine at first, but something must have happened over there. They suddenly attacked Comrade Zheng. Fortunately, we were on high alert and managed to save her at the critical moment, or else that knife would have stabbed her neck," Ada explained.

Zheng Min's wound was quite deep. Everyone could imagine the consequences if the knife had pierced her neck. Zhou Cuimei was so frightened that she stumbled, but fortunately, Zhao Zhi caught her.

"I’m fine, don’t worry!" Zheng Min, seeing her adoptive mother frightened, hurried to reassure her.

Lin Nan Nan did not speak; she took the medicine and began disinfecting the wound, causing Zheng Min to grimace in pain, tears streaming down her face.

"Bear with it," Lin Nan Nan, seeing how much pain she was in, but knowing she had to endure for the sake of the child, couldn’t help but comfort her, "It’s almost done!"

"Mm!" She nodded through gritted teeth, sweat drenching her forehead.

To distract her, Lin Nan Nan asked, "Do you know what happened over there?"

Zheng Min thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know, but I could tell they were in a hurry. They didn’t even give me a chance to speak. They wanted to silence me and cover up their tracks, then get out of here…"

"Get out of here?" This made Lin Nan Nan pause. Seeing fresh blood seep from the wound, she quickened her bandaging, "They want to leave Jing City?"

"I don’t know, but they seemed desperate, like cornered dogs!"

"Yes, they didn’t even try to hide their intent to kill Comrade Zheng. We sensed something was wrong and rushed over!" Ada chimed in from the side.
