Mianmian Is Her Brother's Hero

Fu Yanzhi drove straight back to the courtyard house. It was already past two in the morning. After getting out of the car, he went straight into the room. Mianmian was asleep in bed, still holding her teddy bear in her arms.

Fu Yanzhi shook Mianmian awake. When she saw that her eldest brother had returned, she smiled and said, "Brother, you're back! That's wonderful. Mianmian missed you."

Fu Yanzhi turned on the light and said with a smile, "Mianmian, I got revenge for you. Shall we go home and see your other brothers now?"

The light was too bright, and Mianmian rubbed her eyes. "That's wonderful, brother! That bad man is finally dead. You're the best."

Once Mianmian could see her brother clearly, she saw that he was covered in blood. Trembling, she said, "Brother, you're hurt. It must hurt so much. You got hurt because of Mianmian."

"It's all right, Mianmian. Hurry and get dressed. Let's set off and go home," Fu Yanzhi said with a smile.

Mianmian nodded obediently and went to get dressed. Fu Yanzhi took off his torn clothes, found some iodine solution, and opened it to pour it over himself. Then he wrapped himself in bandages.

After Fu Yanzhi and Mianmian got dressed, he took her hand and led her out of the house. They had only taken a few steps when a wave of dizziness struck him, and he nearly fell. Thankfully, Mianmian caught him in time.

Mianmian looked at Fu Yanzhi and asked, "Brother, are you all right? You almost fell just now. Why don't we rest for a bit first?"

Fu Yanzhi waved his hand. "I'm fine, Mianmian. Let's hurry. We can rest once we get home."

Mianmian nodded. "All right, brother. Mianmian will help you walk."

"Hahaha, leave? Where do you think you're going?" Sun Bei said with a laugh.

When Fu Yanzhi saw Sun Bei, he immediately shielded Mianmian behind him, his eyes fixed on Sun Bei.

Jiang Dong and Jiang Xi emerged from behind them. Sun Bei sneered. "You didn't expect us to find you so quickly, did you?"

Jiang Dong laughed. "If I hadn't had someone let you go, did you think you could have escaped? I planted a tracker on you, you idiot. Hahaha."

Mianmian ran out from behind Fu Yanzhi and shouted, "Don't call my brother an idiot, you bad guy!"

Fu Yanzhi was about to pull Mianmian back, but suddenly all the strength drained from his body. He fell to the ground, unable to muster any strength at all.

Seeing Fu Yanzhi fall, Jiang Dong laughed. "Looks like the drug has taken effect. Remember, don't trust people so easily in the future."

When Mianmian saw her brother fall, she panicked, tears welling in her eyes. She threw herself to Fu Yanzhi's side without a second thought, shielding him with her little body as she shouted at Sun Bei and the others, "You're not allowed to hurt my brother, or I won't let you get away with it!"

Sun Bei and his two companions laughed even more wildly at the sight. Jiang Xi stepped forward and kicked Mianmian aside. She fell to the ground, scraping the skin off her knee.

Seeing Mianmian hurt, Fu Yanzhi's heart burned with anxiety, but his body refused to obey him. "Mianmian, run! Don't worry about me. Run!"

Jiang Xi said, "We've surrounded this place. Even if you sprouted wings, you wouldn't escape today."

Tears of pain welled in Mianmian's eyes. As if remembering something, she wiped them away hard with the back of her dirty hand, bit her lip, and staggered to her feet again.

Mianmian once more shielded Fu Yanzhi behind her. Her little chest rose and fell slightly as she breathed hard, her eyes full of defiance and the desire to protect him. She shouted at the bad men, "You're not allowed to bully my brother! I'm going to protect him!"

Enraged by the little girl's stubbornness, Sun Bei lost his patience. He pulled a gun from inside his clothes and aimed its cold muzzle at her.

Fu Yanzhi screamed in terror and told Mianmian to run. "Run! Don't worry about me, just run!"

Mianmian only stared fixedly at Sun Bei until a piercing gunshot shattered the silence. Her little body jerked, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed like a candle snuffed out by a fierce wind. She slowly fell in front of Fu Yanzhi and never stood up again.

"Mianmian!" Lying on the ground, Fu Yanzhi picked her up, trembling as he held her little body against him. Her warmth was fading rapidly. Blood stained the front of his clothes red and blurred his vision.

Mianmian struggled to raise her hand, wanting to wipe the tears from her brother's face. Her lips moved, and with the last of her strength, she spoke in a voice as soft as a feather. "Bro...ther... Mianmian has to protect you... has to... become... your... he...ro." Before the words had fully left her mouth, her hand fell limply, and her eyes closed forever, leaving only her brother holding her.

Fu Yanzhi held Mianmian, trembling. "Good girl, Mianmian, be good. Open your eyes. Don't go to sleep yet. I'll save you right away. Be good, I'll save you right away."

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Fu Yanzhi's face. As an assassin, he knew tears were the most useless things. No matter how badly he had been injured before, he had never cried. Even when he was betrayed by them and died at the end of his previous life, he had not cried.

Why? Why would a child he had only known for a few weeks make him cry today?

Sun Bei pressed his gun against Fu Yanzhi's head and laughed. "It's all right, kid. She hasn't gone far. I'll send you down to keep her company now."

Fu Yanzhi's eyes turned utterly cold in an instant, the chill seemingly enough to freeze the air. He slowly raised his head and looked at Sun Bei and the other two, his eyes brimming with towering hatred. He laughed loudly. "Hahaha! If I'm lucky enough to survive today, I'll tear you to pieces."

"Sorry, you won't get the chance. Die!" Sun Bei said, his eyes fierce.
