Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

Shang Chenyan was standing some distance away. At first, he only saw that something seemed to be happening over there, with a crowd gathering together. But the next second, screams rang out.

Shang Chenyan immediately ran over.

The school's security personnel, who were stationed around the playground, rushed over upon hearing the commotion, only to find that the man dressed as a cleaner had taken Shi Ying hostage, with a knife held to her neck.

Shi Ying's arm was still bleeding. She collapsed to the ground, tightly hugging Shang Nian in her arms.

Shang Nian huddled in her arms and cried silently, unconsciously letting out small, frightened sobs.

"Don't come any closer!" The man's angry shout blocked Shang Chenyan's path.

He abruptly stopped a few steps away from Shi Ying.

Shang Chenyan's expression turned cold. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists as he stared expressionlessly at the knife in the man's hand.

At this moment, someone recognized the man: "Isn't that the cook the school fired a few days ago?"

"Yes, that's him. I often saw him when I came to the school to bring lunch to our Niu Niu."

"I heard he was dishonest and was fired after being caught tampering with expense reports."

The teacher rushed over and, seeing the scene, hurriedly tried to calm things down: "Pan Yong, what are you doing?"

The man named Pan Yong had a face full of menacing features, and he looked particularly fierce at that moment: "You were the ones who lined your own pockets, and now that you've been exposed, you're pushing me out to take the blame. Why should I?"

He had worked at the school for over ten years. Being dismissed at an advanced age made it difficult to find a job, especially since he was dismissed for dishonest reasons. These schools all have channels to communicate with each other, so no one would hire him.

The school leader's expression changed, and his voice became stern: "Let's talk this out in the office. Put the knife down first. It's illegal for you to use a knife to injure someone."

"You want to go to jail?"

Pan Yong remained unmoved: "Since you're all going to try and kill me anyway, you'd be hoping that once I'm in there no one will mention your dirty deeds anymore. If I'm going to go in, I'll take a few more people with me!"

"Principal Wang, what exactly happened?"

The parents were completely confused and began to stir.

Only Shang Chenyan remained silent. He looked at the blood on Shi Ying's hands and trembled uncontrollably.

What do you want?

The man's voice was steady and low, which quieted the room slightly.

Pan Yong had never met Shang Chenyan, but just by looking at his clothes, he knew that he was not a low-class person. To be precise, anyone who could attend this school was not an ordinary person.

His lips trembled as he said, "I...I want a million, and I don't want to be held responsible for my mistake."

"Okay." Shang Chenyan slowly took a few steps forward. "One million, here you go, release the people first."

Pan Yong didn't expect him to agree so readily, but he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly. A million was nothing to these people, but for him, it was something he might never earn in his lifetime.

Pan Yong looked somewhat dazed, as if he had thought of something, but Shi Ying clearly sensed it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she suddenly grabbed his wrists holding the knife tightly with both hands and bit down hard on his tiger's mouth.

At the same time, the man shouted, completely unexpected that she would resist. In that one second of hesitation, Shang Chenyan rushed forward and quickly took control of his hand holding the knife.

With a "crack," Pan Yong's entire arm was twisted behind his back, the sound of his shoulder bone breaking was very crisp. Before he could even resist, Shang Chenyan kicked him to the ground and stomped on his hand.

The security guards rushed forward and restrained him.

"Yingying?" Shang Chenyan quickly squatted down, feeling somewhat at a loss as he wanted to touch her hand, but he didn't dare to.

Shi Ying's face turned pale with pain, and Shang Chenyan bent down and picked her up: "Let's go to the hospital first."

The teacher stepped forward, hugged Shang Nian, and followed behind. When Shang Chenyan passed Principal Wang, his voice was so cold it was almost icy: "Principal Wang had better think carefully about how to explain what happened today."

Other parents quickly surrounded Principal Wang, asking, "Yes, what exactly happened?"

"What's wrong with your school? Letting someone sneak in and commit murder in broad daylight?"

The noise behind her had nothing to do with Shi Ying. She was quickly taken to the nearest hospital. While the doctor examined her, Shang Chenyan stayed by her side without leaving for a moment. He looked at her with bloodshot eyes, and even his lips were trembling.

Shi Ying was not seriously injured. She had a cut on her hand from a knife, but it didn't damage any bones or tendons. The wound wasn't big, and it was bandaged after a few stitches.

When Shi Ying was brought to the ward, she noticed that Shang Chenyan seemed a bit off, so she quickly grabbed his wrist with her other hand and said, "Shang Chenyan, I'm fine."

The man suddenly bent down and hugged her tightly.

"sorry..."

"What are you apologizing for?" Shi Ying patted his back reassuringly. "Nobody expected this accident to happen, and it wasn't your fault."

"I'm sorry..." Shang Chenyan kept apologizing unconsciously. Shi Ying felt a warm sensation on her neck, as if he had been stressed.

"I'm really fine, Shang Chenyan, don't worry, I will definitely not be in any danger." In a real crisis, she could just quit the game, which is why she dared to bite that person, just in case he really went crazy and hurt Shang Nian if she waited any longer.

Shang Chenyan closed his eyes, his breathing becoming erratic.

He dared not think about what he would do if something really happened to her.

Shi Ying patted his back to comfort him like she was taking care of a child. She knew that her two disappearances must have scared him half to death, which was why he reacted so strongly.

"Shang Chenyan, no one here can hurt me except you."

The man stiffened slightly, released her a little, and looked at her with some confusion.

Shi Ying said to him, "Nothing here can hurt me, only you. If one day you don't like me as much anymore, that's what will hurt me."

"Will you hurt me?"

"No," the man answered quickly and decisively, "Never."

Shi Ying smiled and patted his head: "That's good then. Don't worry too much about me. I will absolutely, absolutely not get into any trouble."

Shang Chenyan's tense nerves relaxed slightly as she spoke.

Although Shi Ying is usually carefree and thoughtless, she is never an impulsive person.

He didn't expect Shi Ying to bite that person today. He reacted quickly at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Shi Ying's actions were actually very risky.

Who knows how strong that man was? He was so fat, Shi Ying looked like a little chick next to him.

She was so certain that she wouldn't get hurt.

Does she have some secret way of protecting herself?

Or was everything she experienced here a fabrication to her?
