“Go! Hurry!”

Gu Yao shouted the words, but her entire body seemed frozen in place. She couldn’t move at all.

Sang Ning had just opened the car door. Seeing that Gu Yao still hadn’t moved, she stepped forward to pull her away.

Just then, a drunken figure appeared in front of her.

“What are you trying to do to my Yaoyao? Get lost! She’s mine. You’re a woman? Doesn’t matter!”

“Where the hell did this drunk come from? Hey—let go of her!”

Lu Lin rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, trying to pry the man’s hand off Gu Yao, only to find the drunk was surprisingly strong.

The drunken man turned, adjusted his glasses—

Fogged up. Couldn’t see a thing.

So he simply took them off and sized up Lu Lin, then looked at Gu Yao with a nasty grin.

“So this is the mistress you found outside? Not much to look at. Weak as a chicken.”

With that, he raised his fist and smashed it into Lu Lin’s face.

Gu Yao cried out, “Dr. Lu!”

She shouted, but she didn’t dare step forward to help him.

Last time, Zhao Qianwen had caught her speaking with another man. That man had only been asking for directions, yet Zhao Qianwen treated him like someone trying to ruin their relationship.

Without another word, he beat the man up. When Gu Yao tried to stop him, it didn’t help at all—the passerby only got beaten worse.

In the end, to keep the peace and stop Zhao Qianwen from being taken away by the police, Gu Yao could only say he had been drunk and ask the other party not to argue with a drunk man.

For that, she paid twenty thousand yuan in compensation.

Because of the money, the man didn’t call the police and let it go.

But now, this lunatic Zhao Qianwen had hit a police officer.

Assaulting police.

“You dare hit me?” Lu Lin’s eyes widened. He wanted to fight back, but he was only a forensic doctor. He had never trained in combat.

He was tall, sure—but physically, he had no real strength.

Against Zhao Qianwen, he was completely outmatched.

He lunged forward and ended up wrestling with him. Seeing this, Sang Ning immediately walked over.

First, she pulled Gu Yao aside.

“What are you standing there for? Call the police.”

The moment the words *call the police* came out, Zhao Qianwen’s movements paused for one second.

Then he continued punching Lu Lin again and again.

“Go ahead! Call them! I drank anyway. Got drunk. Bad drunk behavior. Isn’t that normal?”

Zhao Qianwen had experience from last time.

Gu Yao would clean up the mess for him. That stupid woman would pay compensation.

What did he have to fear?

“You seem to know the game well.”

Sang Ning stepped forward and kicked Zhao Qianwen off Lu Lin.

Lu Lin’s coat was covered in dust from the concrete ground, dirt clinging to the fabric.

Under the dim night lighting, his facial injuries weren’t clear.

“I’m telling you, this is assaulting an officer. I’m not letting this go,” Lu Lin said, clutching his cheek.

The slightest movement sent pain shooting across his entire face.

“Old Sang, hurry up and look. Is my face disfigured?”

Sang Ning was speechless.

“You bitch. You kicked me?”

Zhao Qianwen had sobered up more than half. Seeing Gu Yao standing nearby trembling, still not having called the police, the corner of his mouth lifted.

“You’re happy?” Sang Ning tilted her head and crouched down to study him.

When she’d been watching from the side earlier, she had already noticed that this man’s relationship with Gu Yao was unusual.

The moment Gu Yao heard his voice, her first instinct had been to run.

But her body seemed to have some kind of muscle memory. The moment this man appeared, she couldn’t move.

“Call the police? Does she dare? Do you know what our relationship is? I advise you to mind your own business!”

Zhao Qianwen tried to climb to his feet, only for Sang Ning to kick him back down again.

Sang Ning knew exactly how to kick someone.

She wouldn’t target a man’s most vulnerable area.

Instead, she aimed for the places that hurt the most—places that would ensure he couldn’t get out of bed the next morning.

Right now, Zhao Qianwen was still drunk and had no idea how serious things were.

“You bitch, you still dare touch me?” Zhao Qianwen glared at her viciously. “Gu Yao, did you record what she just did? Sue her for me! Sue her until she loses everything. Otherwise, don’t even dream of getting me to remarry you!”

Remarry?

Lu Lin had just realized Sang Ning could easily hold the man down, and he’d been about to go over and beat him properly.

But his fist froze midair.

“When did you get married?” Lu Lin looked at Gu Yao.

Under the yellowish streetlight, Gu Yao’s face was swallowed by warm shadows. Sang Ning didn’t need to see clearly to know she must be terrified.

If these two had a legal relationship, even if Sang Ning wanted to intervene, there would be limits.

“I… I’m not… I won’t remarry him. We’re already divorced!”

Gu Yao gritted her teeth and forced the words out in broken pieces.

Such an unbearable matter had now been exposed to Sang Ning and Lu Lin.

And Lu Lin had the biggest mouth in the world.

By tomorrow, the entire station would definitely know.

“Oh. Since you’re divorced, why are you still acting so arrogant?”

Lu Lin took off his coat and tossed it at Gu Yao. It arced through the air, wide and warm, landing over her face.

“Old Sang, stay out of men’s business.”

The moment the words left his mouth, Lu Lin threw himself at Zhao Qianwen on the ground.

Zhao Qianwen sneered and tried to lift his leg to kick Lu Lin—

Only to realize one of his legs wouldn’t move.

His eyes widened in horror.

Sang Ning had kicked his thigh earlier, and now he couldn’t feel anything.

What the hell was going on?

“You… what did you do to me?”

Before he could finish, Lu Lin’s fist landed squarely on his high cheekbone with all his strength.

Zhao Qianwen’s head snapped to the side.

Lu Lin might be terrible at fighting, but he was still a forensic doctor. He had studied medicine.

He knew every painful spot on the human body.

And he knew exactly how to avoid fatal areas.

When Gu Yao pulled the coat down and wrapped it around herself, this was the scene she saw.

Lu Lin, who had been completely outmatched moments ago, was now sitting on Zhao Qianwen and beating him bloody.

Sang Ning stood to the side and calmly took out her phone to call the police.

Then she informed Gu Yezhou as well.

Since they were siblings, Gu Yezhou had to know about what had happened to Gu Yao.

“Stop hitting me! Stop! I know I was wrong!” Zhao Qianwen howled miserably, begging nonstop.

Lu Lin vented his anger with two more punches.

“You’re already divorced, so why are you still harassing her? What the hell do you want?”

“You? You think you deserve to remarry her?”

Within ten minutes, police sirens sounded inside the residential complex.

Sang Ning had noticed a police station nearby when they arrived.

“Wife! Wife, save me!”

Zhao Qianwen cried and tried to crawl toward Gu Yao’s feet.

Sang Ning stepped forward—

And planted her foot directly on the back of his hand.

The pain made Zhao Qianwen scream like his heart was being torn apart.

She even deliberately pretended to stumble over something.

The officers who had just arrived happened to witness the entire thing.

Sang Ning staggered and fell straight into Gu Yao’s arms.

Their eyes met.

Gu Yao’s gaze was still full of terror.

She hadn’t yet recovered from Zhao Qianwen.
