Ah Yan shook his head and said seriously: "Mother, thank you for protecting me and healing me all the time. When I grow up, I want to be like you and be someone who can help others."

Jiang Yanwan felt warm in her heart and whispered, “Ayan, you will definitely become an extraordinary person.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yanwan signaled Ah Yan to continue resting, and she stood up and opened the door. Zhao Zheng and Wu Junyao were outside the door, and they looked solemn.

"What happened?" Jiang Yanwan asked.

Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice: "Doctor Jiang, we just received news that several remnants of the underworld have not been wiped out yet, and they are planning a new conspiracy."

Wu Junyao continued, "We need your help to learn more about their movements. Are you willing?"

Jiang Yanwan's eyes were stern, and she said without hesitation: "Of course, I will never let this evil continue to spread.

Ah Yan heard the conversation, sat up from the bed, and asked nervously: "Mother, are you going to a dangerous place?"

Jiang Yanwan walked over, hugged Ah Yan gently, and comforted her: "Ah Yan, mother will protect herself and everyone else. You rest well here and wait for me to come back, okay?"

"Mother, I will wait for you," Ah Yan nodded firmly, "You must be careful."

Jiang Yanwan smiled and said, "Definitely."

The next morning, Jiang Yanwan, who had just rested for a night, felt much more relaxed. She decided to follow the tips provided by Zhao Zheng and Wu Junyao, disguised herself as a small vendor delivering food, and went to places where people from the underworld were active to get information. Before leaving the clinic, she gave Ah Yan one last reminder: "Ah Yan, when your mother is not around, you must be obedient and have a good rest."

"Mother, I will be good, and you should be careful too." Ayan seemed particularly sensible, with worry in his eyes.

Jiang Yanwan nodded, put on her clothes, and walked out of the clinic. She changed into an ordinary cloth dress, wrapped a gray headscarf on her head, and carried a heavy bag of grain in her hands. Along the way, she kept observing the surrounding environment to avoid arousing suspicion from others.

After passing through several streets, she came to an alley where gangsters often appeared. The alley was crowded with people, and all kinds of suspicious-looking people were coming and going. Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and walked into the area cautiously.

She came to the door of a tavern, pretended to look around casually, and shouted: "Fresh rice, fresh rice! If you need it, come and have a look!"

A burly man lazily leaned against the door frame. When he saw Jiang Yanwan, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he still walked over: "Where did you get this rice?"

"They are all top-quality white rice, shipped from outside the city. They are very fresh." Jiang Yanwan answered with a smile, trying to remain natural.

The big man looked at her grain bag suspiciously and asked, "How much is it?"

Jiang Yanwan was well prepared and quickly quoted a reasonable price: "Eight cents per pound, absolutely fair!"

The big man stroked his chin, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. Just then, a noise came from the tavern, and two men were arguing. Jiang Yanwan secretly listened.

"Old Third, are you telling the truth? That stinky woman actually dared to come back!"

"Yes, I saw her with my own eyes. She brought a child with her and wanted to prepare another antidote... Humph, what an ignorant woman!"

Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened, she knew these people must be discussing her. She forced herself to remain calm and said to the big man, "Brother, it's too lively here, can you come in and sit down?"

The big man glanced at her, then at the quarrel inside, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Okay, come in."

Jiang Yanwan was taken into the tavern, and everything around her became more complicated. The tables and chairs were scattered, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat. She found a corner to sit down and listened carefully to the conversations of the people around her.

The two men who were arguing seemed to have reached some kind of consensus. One of them said coldly, "We have to hurry up and not let her prepare the medicine successfully. Otherwise, the little devil will not survive."

The other man nodded with a sinister smile: "Yes, maybe we can find an opportunity to kidnap that little devil and force her to hand over more secrets."

Jiang Yanwan was filled with anger and anxiety when she heard this. She knew she couldn't wait any longer and had to pass the message back as soon as possible. But just as she was about to leave, the big man behind her suddenly grabbed her shoulders and said, "Girl, you seem to be very interested in our conversation?"

Jiang Yanwan was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface: "Brother, I'm just a small vendor delivering food, how dare I be interested in your business?"

The big man smiled coldly: "Really? But your eyes tell me that you have some plans. Girl, why don't you tell the truth?"

Jiang Yanwan knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she decisively struggled to break free from the big man's hand and quickly ran out. The big man obviously didn't expect her to react so quickly, and after a moment of hesitation, he shouted, "Stop her!"

The other people in the tavern reacted instantly and drew their swords to chase after her. Jiang Yanwan tried her best to get through the twists and turns of the alley, hoping to get rid of the pursuers. But those people were obviously familiar with the terrain here and soon caught up with her.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Jiang Yanwan suddenly had an idea and jumped onto a low wall, hoping to escape from the height. At this time, a pursuer suddenly grabbed her ankle and pulled hard, and Jiang Yanwan almost fell.

"Don't waste your energy and say everything you need to say!" the man said viciously.

Jiang Yanwan knew that she couldn't compromise at this moment, so she quickly pulled out the knife hidden at her waist and decisively cut off her clothes, making the other party lose the power to hold her. She took this opportunity to jump off the wall and run again.

At this critical moment, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance. A team of guards came quickly, led by Zhao Zheng and Wu Junyao. Seeing them appear, Jiang Yanwan felt relieved and she shouted for help: "Help!"

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng ordered without hesitation: "Capture those people and protect Doctor Jiang!"

The guards rushed forward quickly and subdued those people one by one. Jiang Yanwan finally got a chance to catch her breath, her legs softened, and she almost fell. Wu Junyao supported her in time and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Jiang Yanwan shook her head, adjusted her breathing, and said, "They are planning a new conspiracy to stop me from dispensing medicine and kidnap Ah Yan."

Zhao Zheng frowned: "These people are too rampant. We must take action as soon as possible to completely eradicate this group of gangsters."

Wu Junyao nodded: "That's right, Doctor Jiang, the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself and Ah Yan. We will continue to follow up to ensure that everything goes well."

Jiang Yanwan looked at them gratefully and said firmly: "Thank you, with your help, I will definitely be able to overcome these difficulties."

Afterwards, Zhao Zheng and Wu Junyao arranged for some guards to escort Jiang Yanwan back to the clinic and strengthened the defense around it. They continued to lead the team to carry out a thorough search operation.

After returning to the clinic, Jiang Yanwan was finally able to rest for a while. When Ah Yan saw her coming back, he immediately ran over and asked nervously, "Mom, are you okay?"

Jiang Yanwan gently touched Ah Yan's head and said with a smile, "Mom is fine, don't worry."

Ah Yan hugged Jiang Yanwan tightly and whispered, "Mother, I will always be with you and will not let you get hurt."

Jiang Yanwan felt warm in her heart and patted him on the back gently: "Good boy, mother thinks so too."
