CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: YOU ARE NOT MY TROUBLE

"You bitch, trying to run?" The man pinned Sang Yu beneath him, grabbing her chin and spat fiercely.

The figure in front of her grew increasingly blurred, yet she could vaguely see the vicious man pulling out the previously seen white handkerchief...

Jiang Jingming was looking at the case file when suddenly a pang shot through his heart.

He clearly felt a sharp unease deep within his left chest.

It was as if something was about to happen, instinctively telling him he needed to find Sang Yu right now.

He put the file away and quickly left the police station.

Upon arriving at the welfare center, he found the program had already ended, and everyone had left.

He hurriedly made his way back home again.

As he passed a corner, he saw Sang Yu and the man beside her.

Jiang Jingming’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he ran toward Sang Yu.

The man who was about to act was highly alert; hearing the commotion, he immediately abandoned Sang Yu and fled.

He moved quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Jingming picked up Sang Yu from the ground: "Sang Yu, are you alright?"

Sang Yu’s consciousness was already very blurred; upon seeing Jiang Jingming, she fainted completely.

He instantly panicked, his gaze frantic, and quickly picked her up, running towards the hospital.

The urgency in his heart made him forget the considerable distance to the hospital.

Fortunately, he encountered Lu Yao on the way.

Lu Yao looked at Sang Yu unconscious in Jiang Jingming’s arms, plus Jingming’s panicked face, and stopped him:

"What happened?"

Jiang Jingming replied, "Fainted."

Lu Yao frowned, "Get in my car."

Jiang Jingming didn’t hesitate, holding Sang Yu and got into Lu Yao’s car.

At the hospital, Jiang Jingming immediately carried Sang Yu to find a doctor.

The doctor saw Jiang Jingming’s uniform and didn’t dare delay, hurriedly checking Sang Yu.

Jiang Jingming stood outside the examination room, staring at the door, with red-rimmed eyes.

Lu Yao watched Jiang Jingming; it was the first time he saw him so panicked.

All because of a woman, truly peculiar.

"Why did she faint all of a sudden?" Lu Yao asked.

Jiang Jingming was a bit displeased.

Lu Yao was about to say something when his mobile phone rang.

Lu Yao glanced at Jiang Jingming, then picked up the call.

Whatever was said on the other end made Lu Yao’s eyes flash with impatience, "Got it, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Lu Yao said to Jiang Jingming, "I have some matters to attend to, I’ll head off first."

Jiang Jingming still didn’t move, only saying, "Thank you."

Lu Yao raised an eyebrow: "Rare indeed."

But Jiang Jingming said nothing more after his thanks.

Lu Yao let out a small grunt and left.

Just after Lu Yao left, the examination room door finally opened.

"Doctor, how is she?" The man’s tone was strained.

The doctor replied, "This comrade is alright, she inhaled an excess of sedatives, which caused the fainting; she’ll be fine after sleeping it off. Some injuries have been treated too."

Jiang Jingming’s clenched fist slowly relaxed, "Thank you, Doctor."

Doctor: "You’re welcome."

After a while, Sang Yu was transferred to a regular ward.

At this hour, there weren’t many patients, so she was alone in the room.

Looking at the unconscious Sang Yu, guilt and heartache flickered in Jiang Jingming’s eyes; he should have returned sooner.

An hour later, Lin Wen arrived too.

"Captain, is your wife alright?"

Jiang Jingming shook his head: "She’s fine."

Lin Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good, never thought the opponent would be this brazen, attacking two at once today; fortunately, you appeared in time, or else she would have been in danger."

His predatory, hawk-like eyes narrowed with a chill amidst indifference, a fierce killing intent making one shiver involuntarily.

"Conduct a secret investigation on who has recently purchased large quantities of sedatives."

Lin Wen looked at Jiang Jingming, daunted by his aura; evidently, the opponent had hit a hard wall.

"Yes, Captain."

"Also, investigate those recently hovering around South Alley, male, about five feet tall, slightly limping."

"Understood."

...

"No, don’t come any closer! Jiang Jingming, save me!" Sang Yu suddenly screamed from the hospital bed.

Jiang Jingming grabbed her flailing hands, eyes filled with pain.

"I’m here, Sang Yu, I’m here, don’t be afraid."

Sang Yu suddenly opened her eyes wide, filled with terror.

Seeing Jiang Jingming, her inner fear exploded, and she threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly.

"I was so scared." Her voice quivering, mixed with sobs.

Jiang Jingming held her tightly, controlling his emotions and soothingly said: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I’ve always been here."

"I thought I was going to be taken away."

She had never encountered anything like this in her life, truly worried at that moment about being taken.

Uncertain of the opponent’s intentions, whether kidnapping or trafficking, either was terrifying.

She trembled, crying in Jiang Jingming’s embrace.

Patiently, Jiang Jingming comforted her, time and again.

Only after Sang Yu vented all her emotions did she calm down.

She glanced at the wet patch on Jiang Jingming’s chest, a bit embarrassed: "Sorry, I dirtied your clothes."

Jiang Jingming gently replied, "It’s alright, don’t be afraid anymore, it’s safe now."

Sang Yu nodded: "Okay."

"Sorry, I didn’t protect you well." Jiang Jingming expressed his self-reproach.

Sang Yu shook her head: "It’s not your fault; you’ve been really busy lately. I was the one being a burden to you. When you’re less busy, can you teach me some self-defense? This way, if something like this happens again, I can escape."

She had wanted to bring this up to Jiang Jingming before, but their relationship had always been somewhat delicate, so she hadn’t mentioned it.

The incident today made her realize she needed to learn this.

Both for herself and Jiang Jingming.

Otherwise, what if she dragged Jiang Jingming down later?

She lacked the space and cheats other transmigrators possessed, so she needed to ensure she wouldn’t drag him down.

"Alright, but you will never be a burden to me."

Sang Yu, seeing the man’s affectionate eyes, blushed quietly.

"Captain, there’s news."

Lin Wen suddenly walked in.

"Wife, you’re awake?"

Sang Yu nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Jingming frowned and asked, "What news?"

"There’s a new development with Wei Qing. Reportedly, someone recently saw Wei Qing. It’s suspected the man was constantly scouting for targets around South Alley, so when Wei Qing appeared there, he was caught."
