The moment the door opened, this seemingly honest and straightforward woman's demeanor changed dramatically. Suddenly, she threw the child in her arms towards Yun San and stretched out her hand to swiftly strangle Xiao Xiao's neck.

Her movements were so fast that the distant security personnel couldn't react in time, while Yun San, who was closest, was hindered by the child the woman had thrown at him.

Just as the woman's hand was about to strangle Xiao Xiao, a faint blue light suddenly shot out from Xiao Xiao's wrist, striking the woman's head directly.

The blue light dissipated instantly, and as it vanished, the once fierce-looking woman's eyes immediately became dull. Her outstretched hand could no longer move, and fresh blood flowed from her nose and mouth.

Everything happened so suddenly. As the woman fell, Yun San managed to catch her just in time.

Before he even touched her, the woman fell stiffly backwards. If Yun San hadn't grabbed her neck, she would have fallen to the ground.

As Yun San held her, he felt her weakness. Upon closer inspection, he saw blood oozing from her eyes, nostrils, and mouth.

Her pupils contracted instantly. He reached out to check her breathing; it was there, but very weak.

That blue light earlier...

She was close enough to have seen it for a moment. Had she not been specially trained, that fleeting blue light might have seemed almost like an illusion to anyone else.

Yun San knew this woman must have accomplices and reacted immediately, slipping a pill from his sleeve into the woman's mouth.

The other protectors either continued to hide or stepped forward to surround the area.

Everything happened too quickly for the ordinary people in the carriage to understand what was happening, only seeing the woman suddenly fall down.

Seeing her bleeding from all seven orifices, everyone screamed in fright.

Xiao Xiao, the instigator, looked innocently at the woman lying on the ground, who had actually come to capture her.

Had she not felt that her previous preparations were insufficient and installed a smart chip in her watch before departing, which could automatically detect malice and react to protect its owner, she might have truly suffered today.

The train conductor arrived quickly. Yun San and the others handled the situation smoothly, claiming the woman had fallen ill and took her away.

Two unremarkable men mingled among the onlookers.

The blue light was extremely faint and brief. They were too far away to see it and only saw Yun San feed the woman a pill, after which she began to bleed from all seven orifices.

They spontaneously concluded that all of this was Yun San's doing and thought that Yun San had subdued the woman before she could strangle Xiao Xiao.

The two exchanged glances and quietly returned to their seats.

Now, they just hoped the woman would die quickly, to prevent her from revealing more people involved.

With blood flowing from all seven orifices, she must be dead by now.

"Cease operations. The protective forces surrounding the target exceed our expectations. We need to devise a new plan," one of the men said.

The other man sighed.

The incident with the woman was resolved quickly, and by the time Xiao Xiao and Yun San returned to their compartment, Wang Wei was still unaware of what had happened.
