Hanno sensed the changes in this world, and she vaguely perceived the presence of several auras that were not inferior to her own. Cultivators! Hanno was astonished; it was hard to believe that this world, which had once been unable to cultivate Inner Power, actually had Cultivators. However, Hanno's personality was not one to seek clarity in everything, even if it might lead to trouble. She chose to ignore those auras and continued living her life as usual. The techniques she learned in Pure Yuan Great Land allowed her to conceal her cultivation level, making it impossible for those auras to detect her presence.
“Mom, you didn’t cook, did you? I brought back some food that’s absolutely delicious; you and Dad won’t be able to stop eating,” Hanno said as she placed two wooden food boxes on the dining table.
“Another waste of money,” Mom Han replied. “No matter how good the food outside is, can it compare to the clean and healthy vegetables grown by your dad and me?”
“The food I bought is definitely clean and healthy,” Hanno said while opening the boxes and showing the dishes. “Whether it’s vegetables or meat, they are all free from pollution and nutritious. The vegetables are grown with artificial fertilizers, and the chickens, ducks, pigs, and other livestock are free-range; they are definitely not fed with commercial feed.”
“Is that so? Then we must try it,” Mom Han said, nudging Dad Han. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get chopsticks and bowls!”
Dad Han shot a glare at Mom Han but obediently went into the kitchen to get the utensils.
“It’s just ham braised with pork knuckle; the ham is Jinling Old Ham, and the flavor is absolutely authentic,” Hanno introduced as she served her parents. “This is bird's nest soup made with real blood nests; nowadays, even if you have money, you can’t find it. This is rosy goose breast, and this is pork tenderloin…”
Dad Han and Mom Han praised the food repeatedly while Hanno happily served them more dishes. Suddenly, the music from Golden Silk Robe played, startling Hanno. She remembered that she had immediately plugged in her phone to charge after getting home and opened it; there was an incoming call.
Hanno put down her chopsticks and rushed over to answer her phone. A painful groan came through: “Han, Hanno, I… I’m in so much pain. Help me.”
“Yang Yun?” Hanno exclaimed in shock and quickly asked, “Where are you?”
“At home… I’m…” Before she could finish her sentence, the line went dead. Hanno felt a surge of panic as she jumped up, grabbed her coat, and dashed outside. “Dad, Mom, Yang Yun is in trouble! I’m going to find her.”
With that, she flew out like the wind, disappearing in an instant.
Mom Han looked at the trembling door panel with concern. “I wonder what happened to Yang Yun that scared Nono so much.”
“Don’t worry; with Nono around, Yang Yun should be fine,” Dad Han reassured her.
Mom Han nodded; both parents knew their daughter’s abilities well and had confidence in her.
Hanno hurriedly ran to her second cousin's house to borrow their car and rushed toward D City, thinking that she should buy a car of her own soon; otherwise, it would be very inconvenient.
“Shan Shi Ge, can you drive a little faster?” Hanno urged the driver—her second cousin's son, who was also her cousin.
"Slow down, sister. If you go any faster, you'll get points deducted by the traffic police," Labor Order Stone said, more concerned about the points than the fines.
Hanno, feeling anxious, took out his phone and dialed 1, reporting Yang Yun's address to dispatch so the ambulance could head there first: "There's no one else at her home besides her; otherwise, she wouldn't have called me. Once you arrive, it's best to contact the security in the area to help break down the door."
Labor Order Stone gasped, "Do we really need to go that far? Break down the door? Aren't you worried your friend will wake up and find everything stolen?"
"Human life is far more important than possessions," Hanno replied. "When Yang Yun called me, she was already unconscious and pregnant. If we don't hurry to save her, it could mean two lives lost."
Upon hearing about two lives, Labor Order Stone didn't say anything further and accelerated the car. Hanno's eyes flickered as he quietly drew an Ignoring Talisman with his spiritual energy and pressed it under the seat of the car. A faint blue light emanated from the vehicle, so subtle that no one noticed. Labor Order Stone didn't care about getting points deducted for saving a life, but Hanno didn't want to implicate him. With the Ignoring Talisman activated, no matter how fast Labor Order Stone drove, they wouldn't be caught by speed cameras or noticed by traffic police.
On the way, Hanno instructed Labor Order Stone to take a detour directly to the hospital. The speed of 1 was still quite fast; by the time Hanno and Labor Order Stone were en route, 1 had already reached Yang Yun's neighborhood. With the security's assistance, they broke open Yang Yun's door and carried her onto the ambulance. By the time Hanno arrived at the hospital, Yang Yun had already been rushed into surgery for emergency treatment. However, it was just standard emergency care; if surgery was needed, a family member would have to sign off.
"I'm her friend; I'll sign," Hanno said as he snatched the surgical consent form and quickly signed his name. "Please do your best; it's two lives at stake."
The nurse quickly reassured him, "Don't worry; we won't give up on either of them."
Hanno nodded and asked another nurse who hadn't followed the doctor into the operating room, "What exactly is Yang Yun's condition?"
"It's not good," the nurse replied. "The stress caused her to go into premature labor. She also hit her stomach when she fainted and is experiencing severe bleeding; both she and her baby are in danger. But rest assured, the doctors will do everything they can to save them." The nurse added, "By the way, where is the pregnant woman's husband? It would be best to notify him."
"If I knew where he was, I would have punched him already," Hanno said angrily. Yang Yun was about to give birth, yet Yu Shu wasn't by her side—where could he possibly be? If his phone hadn't been listed as one of Yang Yun's regular contacts or if he hadn't just returned to modern society at that moment, given Yang Yun's condition then, he wouldn't have been able to call anyone else for help—and two lives would have been lost.
The nurse's eyes flashed with sympathy as she assumed Yu Shu was a deadbeat husband, conjuring up various scenarios of abandonment and neglect in her mind.
Noticing the nurse's expression, Hanno couldn't help but twitch slightly and asked, "Does my friend's phone happen to be with you?"
"It is," the nurse replied. "When the paramedics came in to help her, your friend was holding onto her phone so tightly that they couldn't get it out until after she was given anesthesia at the hospital."
The nurse retrieved a plastic bag containing the phone from a drawer and handed it to Hanno. "You should keep it for her."
"Thank you," Hanno said as he took out the phone from the plastic bag and unlocked it. He began searching through her contacts until he spotted a somewhat familiar name and dialed it.
"Sister-in-law!" The call was quickly answered, and a man's voice came through.
"I'm not Yang Yun; I'm her friend, Hanno," Hanno replied.
"Hanno? I remember you; you were Sister-in-law's bridesmaid?" the man said.
Hanno acknowledged him and asked, "Zhao Jun, where's Yu Shu?"
Zhao Jun replied, "Brother Yu is missing."
"Missing?" No wonder. Hanno asked, "Did you tell Yang Yun about Yu Shu's disappearance?"
"Of course! How could we not tell Sister-in-law about Brother Yu being missing?" Zhao Jun said.
"You idiot," Hanno snapped. "Do you even realize that Yang Yun is pregnant and about to give birth? Telling her about Yu Shu's disappearance will only make her worry about a premature delivery. Are you trying to kill her?"
Zhao Jun was startled and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, is she okay?"
"Premature labor and a fall that caused severe bleeding. The doctors are trying to save her," Hanno said curtly.
Zhao Jun panicked and trembled as he asked, "Which hospital is she in? I—I’ll come right away."
"City Hospital's operating room," Hanno said before hanging up. Yu Shu's disappearance might have put him in danger; he had a past in the underworld, and it was possible he faced retaliation from old enemies. But Hanno wasn't in the mood to save anyone right now; Yang Yun was the priority. If Yang Yun made it through this, she would help find Yu Shu, but if Yang Yun didn't survive, she wouldn't mind watching Yu Shu go down with his wife and child.
Zhao Jun arrived quickly, followed by several of Yu Shu's brothers. Upon seeing Hanno, they rushed over.
"How is it? How's Sister-in-law?" Zhao Jun asked anxiously.
"Still in surgery," Hanno replied coldly. "Her condition is critical. If the ambulance had been even a minute late, she might not have made it."
Zhao Jun was filled with regret, pounding his fist against his head. "It's all my fault; I should have kept Brother Yu's disappearance from Sister-in-law."
“Zhao Jun, it’s not your fault.” A young man in his twenties quickly grabbed Zhao Jun's fist. “Even if you didn’t, Brother Yu hasn’t come home, so Sister-in-law will definitely know something is wrong with him.”
Hanno felt a bit of Zhao Jun's anger dissipate at the young man's words. Indeed, as the young man said, Yu Shu knew that Yang Yun's due date was approaching, and he would surely be by her side. If he suddenly didn’t come home, Yang Yun would undoubtedly be extremely worried. Not knowing what had happened to him could lead to dire consequences.
“What’s your name?” Hanno asked the young man.
The young man was taken aback for a moment before replying, “My name is Tie He.”
Hanno said, “If you’re not involved in this life, you should study more; your future will definitely be bright.”
Tie He smiled lightly. “I’m an orphan; no one supports my education.”
Hanno continued, “A friend of mine runs a film and television company. Would you like to give it a try? You could also attend night school or something.”
Zhao Jun felt a bit of sweat on his brow. Girl, are you trying to poach someone right in front of me? He stepped forward and patted Tie He on the shoulder. “This is a good opportunity; you should seize it.”
“Brother Jun…”
Zhao Jun understood what Tie He wanted and jumped in before he could say more. “Don’t worry about me; actually, ever since Brother Yu got out, we old-timers have been wanting to follow in his footsteps.”
Tie He still felt a bit reluctant upon hearing this, but Zhao Jun dismissed his hesitation and directly accepted Hanno’s offer on his behalf.
Hanno appreciated their loyalty and noted that Zhao Jun and his group were much cleaner compared to others involved in the underworld. He said, “My friend’s company needs quite a few people, Zhao Jun. If you and your friends want to get out of this life, you can go to my friend’s company.”
