Screams of alarm woke Wen Yan'an from his sleep.
"Mom," Wen Yan'an called out as he saw Fang Miaomiao pinned to the ground.
"An'an, get dressed and go call for help."
"Fang Miaomiao, you dare."
"Why shouldn't I dare?" Fang Miaomiao said nonchalantly, looking at Wang Qing, who was like a madwoman on top of her, "You dared to commit murder, why shouldn't I call for help?"
"An'an, hurry."
Despite his fear, Wen Yan'an got out of bed.
Seeing this, Wang Qing, in a frenzy, tried to get up from Fang Miaomiao to grab a dagger and harm Wen Yan'an.
Unexpectedly, Fang Miaomiao, though pinned down, had subtly immobilized Wang Qing, leaving her stuck on top of her. "Fang Miaomiao, you bitch, let go of me."
"Help! Someone's trying to kill me! Is anyone there?"
Wen Yan'an paused for a moment, then reacted, running out without even putting on his coat, shouting for help as he ran.
Good son.
Fang Miaomiao praised him internally.
"Fang Miaomiao, you did this on purpose."
Fang Miaomiao blinked. "I don't know what you're talking about."
As soon as she finished speaking, several large men rushed in from outside.
"Bitch, I'm going to kill you." Wang Qing could no longer hold back and grabbed Fang Miaomiao's neck with both hands.
"Help! Quick, help! She's trying to kill me!"
From the doorway, Fang Miaomiao appeared to be weakly pressed to the ground by a lunatic, her neck being choked, as if she were about to suffocate.
"You two, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and save her!" Chen Tianming, carrying Wen Yan'an, rushed over and shouted.
The reprimanded staff members quickly stepped forward, each grabbing one of the woman's arms and pulling her up to restrain her.
Fang Miaomiao revealed her scratched arm. "An'an, where's my An'an?"
"Mom," Wen Yan'an, in Chen Tianming's arms, responded, "An'an is here."
"What happened?" Cui Mantong, hearing the cries for help, quickly threw on some clothes and ran out. Seeing the wounds on Fang Miaomiao's arm and the red marks on her neck, her face changed. "What happened?"
"Fang Miaomiao, you damn woman, you dare to trick me! You'll die a terrible death!" Wang Qing glared at Fang Miaomiao, struggling frantically to get up from the ground. "Why, why didn't you die? It's because of you that I've ended up like this."
Cui Mantong was confused for a moment before remembering who the madwoman was. "Wang Qing, are you crazy? Did someone force you to do those illegal things? Greed leads to ruin. You deserve this outcome, and you still have the nerve to blame others."
"Cui Mantong, and you too. I originally wanted to kill you. If it weren't for your husband, why would the Xu family have abandoned me?"
If it weren't for these two, she would still be the young madam of the Xu family, enjoying her own wealth and prosperity. If it weren't for these two, how could she have been forced to leave with nothing?
Bitches, all of them.
These damn obstacles all deserved to die.
"Madwoman," Chen Tianming frowned. "Lock her up. We'll call the police first thing in the morning."
"No, no, you can't call the police!" Wang Qing panicked upon hearing the words. She shook her head vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Chen Tianming. "Director, please, you can't call the police. We had such a good relationship before, didn't we? Why would you call the police?"
"Wang Qing, you did something wrong."
"Many people do wrong things. Why are you only targeting me?" Wang Qing retorted quickly. "Just now, Fang Miaomiao did it on purpose. She pretended to be asleep to lure me in, even though she knew I was outside."
If she had said she discovered her from the beginning, she wouldn't have done anything wrong.
"I think you're beyond saving," Cui Mantong said, shaking her head speechlessly. "What, if Miaomiao hadn't noticed you, would you have killed us and then come after me?"
Wang Qing was momentarily silent, then roared, "That's because you all deserve to die!"
"Subdue her and lock her up. We'll call the police tomorrow."
"Fang Miaomiao, you'll face retribution. All of you will face retribution."
Wang Qing struggled fiercely, nearly causing the two large men to lose their grip on her.
As the sounds gradually faded, Chen Tianming finally handed Wen Yan'an back to Fang Miaomiao.
Feeling the little boy trembling in her arms, Fang Miaomiao gently patted his back. "An'an, don't be afraid. Your mom is fine. I'm okay."
"Director, do you have any medicine?" Cui Mantong asked.
"Yes, I've already sent someone to get it."
The medicine was brought quickly.
Cui Mantong helped Fang Miaomiao lie down on the bed.
When Wen Yan'an lay down on the bed too, he tightly held onto Fang Miaomiao's clothes with his little hand, his big eyes blinking at her.
"Doesn't it hurt your eyes to keep looking at me like this?"
"I want to keep looking at Mom."
"Don't be afraid, that bad person has been caught, and Mom is fine." Fang Miaomiao held the little one's hand with her uninjured one. "Be good and go to sleep."
"Miaomiao, don't move around too much," Cui Mantong said as she dabbed an alcohol swab onto Fang Miaomiao's wrist to disinfect it.
Fang Miaomiao let out a slight hiss.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
"No, don't be so nervous." Fang Miaomiao explained, "It's just that this alcohol is cold, chillingly cold."
Cui Mantong glared at her. "Or should I heat up the alcohol before disinfecting for you?"
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
Cui Mantong almost burst into laughter but managed to hold it back, then gave her another stern look. "You dream."
"Alright, don't be angry. I'm okay, aren't I?"
"You almost scared me to death, you know."
"I'm really fine. It's also thanks to me not being able to sleep soundly due to shoulder pain today, otherwise something truly bad could have happened."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, spit out those unlucky words. What are you saying? You, Fang Miaomiao, will live for a thousand years?"
"Then won't I become a menace?" Fang Miaomiao smiled at Cui Mantong, who was carefully disinfecting and bandaging her wound. "It's not that serious, is it?"
"How is it not serious? I'll report it tomorrow for intentional assault," Cui Mantong said, her eyes red.
"Okay, okay, intentional assault," Fang Miaomiao agreed.
She had allowed Wang Qing to injure herself with this very purpose. Otherwise, with Wang Qing in hiding, they would always be in danger. It was better to take the initiative than to live in constant fear.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back to sleep too. Thank you, Mantong, for tending to my wounds."
Cui Mantong glared at her, tidied up her things, and then returned to her own room.
"Mom."
"Hmm?" Fang Miaomiao looked down. The little one had fallen asleep at some point, sleeping restlessly, muttering something in his sleep.
"Good boy, An'an, good boy, Mom is here."
After pacifying Wen Yan'an, Fang Miaomiao turned off the light and snuggled into the covers.
