Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 454 - Chapter 454 Chapter 442 Injured

Chapter 454: Chapter 442 Injured Chapter 454: Chapter 442 Injured Nie Zhan was taking a shower when the door suddenly started banging loudly. Before he could ask who it was, his bodyguard Da Hu shouted from outside, “Boss, boss, Miss Lu has encountered a kidnapping…”

Nie Zhan didn’t even bother to rinse off the foam on his body; he grabbed a bathrobe and rushed out of the bathroom, “What did you say? Jiaxin has been kidnapped by the kidnappers?”

Ah Hu, while saying no, handed him a cordless phone, “It’s Miss Lu’s phone call.”

Nie Zhan snatched the phone and asked eagerly, “Jiaxin, Jiaxin, where are you now? Please tell me your exact location.”

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Gunshots from a wooden granary came through the phone, and Nie Zhan’s heart leaped to his throat, “Jiaxin, Jiaxin, where are you? Hurry up and tell me your location, I’m coming to find you right now.”

Lu Jiaxin was covering her ears and lying on the ground; when the sounds of the wooden granary became less intense, she spoke tremblingly, “I, I left the Italian restaurant to come home forty minutes ago, driving at the usual speed.”

Based on the time and the speed of the car, Nie Zhan roughly knew which section of the road she was on, “I’m coming over now. Jiaxin, are you alone right now? If you are alone, make sure to hide well and don’t let the kidnappers find you.”

“Miao Na is by my side. Ah Zhan, please call the police quickly!” Lu Jiaxin said.

The reason she called Nie Zhan first instead of the police was that he could get the police to act faster.

Nie Zhan promptly agreed and then hung up the phone, while giving instructions to the bodyguard to prepare the car, he dialed the number of the Police Chief.

The Chief, who happened to be working overtime that night, turned pale when he received Nie Zhan’s call–another kidnapping had occurred so soon, “Mr. Nie, I will send someone right away, and we’ll definitely catch these criminals.”

A kidnapper, noticing that Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin were being ferocious, turned the muzzle of his shotgun towards Lu Jiaxin and Miao Na who were hiding in the bushes. However, before he got close, he took a peanut-sized bullet to the forehead; another one was hit by Gu Wenfeng in the hand, causing the shotgun to drop to the ground.

Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin were risking their lives to protect Lu Jiaxin, unlike some bodyguards who surrendered the moment they saw a shotgun. Zong Jinghua also didn’t back down when he saw them fighting desperately.

With their reckless fighting, five out of eight kidnappers were quickly killed, leaving three wounded–one critically and two with minor injuries.

Seeing how ferocious they were, the remaining kidnappers got scared; the two with minor injuries supported the critically wounded one and retreated to their car to escape.

Zong Jinghua didn’t pursue them; instead, he rushed over to find Lu Jiaxin.

Lu Jiaxin, seeing Zong Jinghua’s arm covered in blood, said with difficulty, “You, your hand, is it injured?”

Zong Jinghua’s left hand had been grazed by a shotgun blast; he said, “The bullet just grazed the edge of my arm, it’s nothing serious. Are you okay, boss?”

Lu Jiaxin forced herself to calm down and said, “I’m fine. How are Brother Gu and Wang Lin?”

Zong Jinghua replied, “Wang Lin’s arm is injured, but he should be fine since he was wearing a bulletproof vest. I’m not sure about Brother Feng’s condition. Boss, don’t go anywhere, just stay here and wait for rescue.”

“Miao Na, you protect the boss.”

Miao Na would have insisted that Lu Jiaxin stay put even without Zong Jinghua mentioning it; she stayed close by her side. In case the kidnappers decided to turn back for an attack, they would not have the fighting strength they had earlier.

Lu Jiaxin didn’t overestimate her strength, and she yelled towards the direction of the car, “Brother Gu, how are you?”

Gu Wenfeng’s arms and legs had been pierced by four bullets from a wooden granary rifle, and blood kept seeping out. Hearing Lu Jiaxin’s shout, he said with difficulty, “I’m fine. Jiaxin, hide well and don’t come out.”

As soon as Lu Jiaxin heard his voice, she knew that he was injured, and suppressing her worry, she said, “Brother Gu, hold on. I’ve already called Ah Zhan, and he and the police will be here soon.”

Miao Na, hearing something was wrong, said, “Brother Feng, Wang Lin, don’t talk. Conserve your strength. Mr. Nie has already called the police, and the ambulance will be here very quickly.”

Wang Lin had also been hit by two bullets, and blood was flowing continuously. He didn’t dare to move; otherwise, the blood would flow even faster.

Lu Jiaxin then redialed Nie Zhan’s cell phone. She first informed him that the robbers had run away, then gave him the exact location, “Brother Gu and Wang Lin are injured; we don’t know how many bullets they’ve taken. They need to get to a hospital quickly for surgery to remove the bullets. Ah Zhan, call the Recuperate Hospital and arrange for them to have surgery as soon as Brother Gu and Wang Lin arrive.”

It was so late that most doctors had gone home to rest, and only the on-call doctors were at the hospital. If Nie Zhan made arrangements in advance, they could go straight into surgery as soon as they arrived at the hospital.

Nie Zhan, upon hearing that the robbers had run away, was still not at ease, “I’m arranging it right now. Jiaxin, wait for me there, I’ll be there very soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin, looking at Zong Jinghua’s blood-soaked arm, said, “Miao Na, we don’t even know what shape Brother Gu and Wang Lin are in right now. We don’t know when the ambulance will get here. If we’re going to bleed like Brother Zong until the ambulance arrives, we’ll be dead by then.”

Miao Na couldn’t possibly leave Lu Jiaxin, so she whispered to Zong Jinghua, “The target of those people was the boss, and even if there are any still hiding in the shadows, to avoid alarming them and giving us away, they won’t act as they see you. Go get the first aid kit and help Gu Wenfeng and the others,”

Since Lu Jiaxin had already shouted that the police would be arriving soon, Zong Jinghua believed that the robbers had indeed fled. So he didn’t hesitate and immediately ran onto the road, retrieving the first aid kit from the car.

Zong Jinghua first provided first aid to Wang Lin, pouring Jincang Medicine onto his wound, which made Wang Lin grunt in pain. The medicine was very effective, and the bleeding stopped shortly after its application.

Zong Jinghua took a bandage to dress the wound, but Wang Lin stopped him, saying, “Brother Hua, please go help Brother Feng stop the bleeding first.”

Gu Wenfeng was covered in wounds and had become a bloody figure. Zong Jinghua didn’t care about anything else and poured the medicine directly onto the open wounds.

“Ah…”

Gu Wenfeng cried out in agony and then fainted from the pain.

Upon hearing this dreadful scream, Lu Jiaxin wanted to go over and see, but Miao Na pushed her back, “Boss, let’s wait here for the police to come. Otherwise, if the kidnappers doubled back for a final attack, Brother Feng and Wang Lin’s blood would have been shed in vain.”

After stopping the bleeding for both of them, Zong Jinghua sat down, took a roll of bandage into his mouth, and then poured Jincang Medicine onto his own wound.

Fortunately, he had the bandage in his mouth, or he too would have cried out in pain. Once the pain subsided, he quickly wrapped the wound with the bandage.

The police were quite prompt, arriving not long after Zong Jinghua had finished bandaging the wounds.

A group of police officers emerged from their cars with their guns drawn, surprised to see the bodies on the ground. One of the officers recognized Zong Jinghua and immediately approached him to find out what had happened.

Zong Jinghua reported, “Our boss wasn’t taken by the kidnappers. She’s currently hiding in the bushes.”

Seeing so many police officers, Miao Na knew it was safe, and she walked onto the road with Lu Jiaxin. At this point, Wang Lin was still conscious, but Gu Wenfeng had closed his eyes.

Tears streamed down Lu Jiaxin’s face as she cried and shouted, “Brother Gu, Brother Gu, wake up, please wake up! If you die, what will your wife and child do!”
