“Why did you say?!” She was frantic with worry . “What’s going on? What happened to the kids’ father? Tell me—quickly tell me!”
Qinfen bitterly howled, “He’s not gonna make it . You’d better hurry back and take a look!”
“Ahh—” She let out a shriek and dashed in the direction of her home .
Youyou and Lingling looked at each other . The three kids then followed the crowd closely .
The woman sprinted all the way down the mountain, only to find five people fully armed standing in her yard . Her heart stifled in shock as she retreated by a step .
However, when she finally calmed down and sized up the people standing in front of her, she realized that these were not the black-clothed men who had invaded her home .
She surveyed her surroundings in trepidation . To her alarm, she found several cold corpses lying at their feet .
Her eyes widened in shock and she instinctively let out a scream .
Anyang Village had always been a peaceful and simple rural village . The people living here were all united and friendly; never once was there a case of murder .
Hence, it was her first time seeing such a horrendous scene .
She carefully examined the bodies . They were none other than the black-clothed men who had invaded her home with guns last night .
The pungent smell of blood assaulted her .
The woman took a few steps backward out of fear as she watched the men with alertness . “W-Who are you?”
The mercenaries turned around to look at her and coldly demanded, “Where’s the child?!”
Their words made her even warier of them . “Who are you?!”

Just as she spoke, the kids arrived at the scene as well . She immediately stepped forward to shield him .
At the sight of the boy, the leader fished out a photo from his chest pocket and approached him after a careful examination .
Her wariness spiked .
Qinfen stormed her feet angrily beside her . “Ah ru, why are you still defending this scourge at this point?! Hand the child over to them!”
“No! The child is innocent; we can’t hand him over!” she insisted .
Youyou frowned as he cast the mercenaries a glance . When he noticed the Hurricane Group’s emblem on their armbands, his brows immediately relaxed . He slowly pushed the woman away .
Li Ru was alarmed . Her hand reached out to grab him, but he covered her hand with his .
“Don’t worry, auntie . ”
He then turned around and approached the mercenaries composedly .
Just when the villagers thought that they would take the child away by force, those men immediately knelt on their knees the instant he stood right in front of them .
“Director Yun, we’re here to rescue you!”
With that, their heads successively bowed and their cold expressions changed into one of respect .
This scene left the villagers dumbstruck .
Did they hear wrongly?!
Did these men actually address a child of seven or eight years old as ‘Director Yun’?!
In their impression, this form of address symbolized a successful, big boss!
This child… was merely seven, though!
They were all baffled, clearly a little skeptical of this truth .
The boy swept his subordinates a glance and demanded, “What exactly happened?”
Several mercenaries exchanged glances before reporting to him .
