The first light of dawn

Chapter 709 Luring the Snake Out of its Hole

"Bang..." The bullet pierced the wall not far away.

The sound was startling!

"Ah..." Someone screamed in fright.

Mu Jiuchen roared, "Everyone get down!"

This time, even Mr. Chu was startled and pulled his wife behind a thick pillar.

The people standing around heard the gunshot and Mu Jiuchen's shout, and they were also scared. They immediately lay down on the ground, not daring to move.

"Bang bang..." After three consecutive shots, the entire venue fell silent.

Mu Jiuchen held Jiang Nuan tightly. Beneath him, shattered glass had pierced his wrist, causing him to frown slightly in pain.

Jiang Nuan slowly raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with concern. She shook her head slightly and said, "I'm fine."

Only then did Mu Jiuchen breathe a sigh of relief.

Bullets had no eyes, and he only regretted that his speed wasn't fast enough.

After a long while, the two slowly sat up. The place where they had fallen was covered in glass shards. Mu Jiuchen's wrist had a deep wound that exposed bone, and he felt a slight pain.

Jiang Nuan looked at the wound on his arm with heartache. She leaned against him and was fortunately unharmed.

"The police are here."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Many police officers rushed in.

The scene was immediately secured.

Chu Yunqing took his wife over and spoke to the police, pointing to the spot where the shots had been fired.

Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan also went over and explained what they knew.

Jiang Nuan then noticed the bullet marks on the wall. It was a professional sniper.

The bullet's trajectory was almost in a straight line with where she had been standing earlier.

Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. Mu Jiuchen also saw where the bullet had hit and exclaimed, "A sniper."

The other party wanted their lives!

This time, they had gone all out!

And risked being discovered.

Jiang Nuan's expression was solemn. She said, "They really want our lives."

Mu Jiuchen sneered, "I doubt they have the capability. Let's go, we can go home."

Jiang Nuan looked at his bleeding arm and said, "Not going home."

"Then where?" Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly, looking at her, his mind already guessing what she intended to do.

Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes and smiled cryptically, "The hospital."

The other party hadn't given up yet, and she wanted to find them.

Lure the snake out of its hole and send him to prison!

Mu Jiuchen didn't want a repeat of this. He nodded and sent a message to Chen Feng.

After bidding farewell to Chu Yunqing, the couple left the banquet.

Jiang Yuxin watched the couple leave. The thrilling banquet tonight had truly terrified her.

"Ronghao, hurry and find out what happened to your brother!" Mrs. Wang had a bad feeling.

"Okay, Mom. You go back and rest. I'll go find him now." Li Ronghao was stunned. How could something like this happen in their home?

After more than twenty years of peaceful days, he never expected something like this to happen.

His brother had been replaced; this was truly terrifying.

Jiang Yuxin also had a bad premonition. Why was it Li Rongyao?

In the days since her return, the Li Rongyao she saw was indeed the previous Li Rongyao. When was Li Rongyao replaced?

Jiang Yuxin felt an inexplicable panic, not knowing why she was panicking.

Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen reached the first floor and drove away, heading to the hospital.

A black car soon followed behind their car.

The night was dark, neon lights flickered, and the late winter sky was cold.

Jiang Nuan pulled her coat tighter, gently bandaging Mu Jiuchen's wound.

She looked up, seeing his dark expression, and asked with a smile, "Still angry?"

"Yes!" Mu Jiuchen nodded faintly, cold light surging in his eyes. "It must be Mu Yichen. If he couldn't oust me from the shipping business, it's not impossible he'd try to kill me."

Jiang Nuan looked back at the car behind them. As soon as they had left, she had been watching the car behind them. "Someone is following us. My guess was right. They're relentlessly pursuing us, thinking that after the previous assassination attempt, we'd let our guard down."

Mu Jiuchen glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Wife, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Nuan withdrew her gaze, looking at the bloodstains dripping from his wrist. Her gaze darkened as she said, "Let's go to the hospital first and get your wound treated. When we come out, I'll tell you what to do."

The other party would definitely not give up.

"Okay!" Mu Jiuchen suddenly smiled, "Heh heh..."

Jiang Nuan was somewhat surprised. He seemed angry, yet he smiled. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"

Her voice was ethereal and pleasing to the ear.

Mu Jiuchen pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then said, "I suddenly know why Nanzhou likes you. You're not only a great partner, calm and composed in the face of crisis, but you also face danger with such ease."

"Not only that, but you also fulfill all the conditions that men desire: beautiful, capable, can cook, can fight well, and possess medical skills. I realize now how fortunate I, Mu Jiuchen, am to have married you!"

Jiang Nuan: "!!!"

"So everyone is just a common person," Jiang Nuan said with a smile. She was also happy to be praised.

Everyone thought Mu Jiuchen was a god, high and mighty, but only she knew that he was very endearing.

"So, Nuannuan, are you satisfied with your husband?" Mu Jiuchen asked with a smile.

Jiang Nuan thought about it seriously, glanced at him, and then replied, "Very satisfied. You also meet my standards for the man I like. Sometimes I think that if I hadn't met you, I would have lived the rest of my life with the three children, watching them get married and have children, living a simple old age. Having been through hardships since childhood, all I've ever wanted is a life of peace and security, and you've given me the life I desired."

Mu Jiuchen was an unexpected accident in her life, and also a surprise!

Mu Jiuchen's smile couldn't be contained, "Nuannuan, wait a little longer, and I will give you the life you want."

His gaze flickered, his eyes filled with happiness.

"Mm! We'll work hard together." She couldn't bear to let him strive alone.

The cold moon was silent, cold and indifferent!

Mu Jiuchen drove to a nearby hospital.

Jiang Nuan took him to the emergency room to treat his wound.

Half an hour later, Mu Jiuchen's arm wound was treated.

Why half an hour?

The reason was simple!

Jiang Nuan also re-treated her own wound, which required stitching. When a young nurse was stitching Jiang Nuan's wound, her hand trembled, startled by Mu Jiuchen's angry glare.

The young nurse was new and her stitching skills were very clumsy. Jiang Nuan saw her hand shaking and comforted her, telling her not to rush and to take her time.

But Mu Jiuchen kept watching from the side with a gloomy expression.

The young nurse's hand trembled even more violently. She stitched too deeply, causing Jiang Nuan to cry out in pain.

Mu Jiuchen became even more agitated and couldn't help but lash out, "Get out! Don't practice on my wife. Find your head nurse, or I'll tear this hospital down."

The young nurse had never seen such a terrifying man. He had a face like a male god, but his temper was truly frightening.

She ran away crying, and it took more than ten minutes for the head nurse to come and apologize, re-stitch, and delay them further.

Only then did the two of them leave the hospital.

At the entrance, Jiang Nuan stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words into Mu Jiuchen's ear, then turned back into the hospital, while Mu Jiuchen walked alone towards the car.
