Since Lei Yingdong and Song Tianyao really didn't need anything from him and were just expressing their gratitude, He Xian didn't stand on ceremony and arranged for Ho Hung-sang, Huang Liu, and others to entertain the two of them in Macau, and then they would go to the He Family to listen to music together that evening.
As He Xian walked out of the Cao Family mansion, accompanied by Huang Ziya, he was about to head towards the open car door when suddenly half a figure appeared over the high wall of a house ten meters away, holding a pistol in his right hand and firing at He Xian!
"Protect Mr. He!" As Huang Ziya spoke, she swiftly drew her pistol from her waist, stood in front of He Xian, and pulled the trigger on the gunman.
"Bang! Bang!" Two shots rang out, and the gunman was hit in the head. His body jolted, and he fell off the wall.
Before Huang Ziya could turn around to protect He Xian as he got into the car, and while the other bodyguards were still pointing their guns at the dead gunman, Huang Liu, who was following Song Tianyao out the door, suddenly kicked Song Tianyao hard in the back. This sent Song Tianyao and He Xian, Song Tianyao was in front of him, tumbling towards the open car door. Huang Liu pulled out a pistol and fired repeatedly in the direction Huang Ziya was facing away, shouting, "Watch out! There are more people behind! The one who died in front was a decoy!"
"Bang bang!"
On the wall behind, two figures had already raised their guns and aimed at He Xian when Huang Ziya fired at the person who was deliberately positioned to draw fire. As a result, Huang Liu kicked Song Tianyao, Song Tianyao then crashed into He Xian and took He Xian's place!
He Xian's upper body was thrown into the back seat of the car, while Song Tianyao staggered forward. As soon as he took a step, his upper body jolted, and blood gushed from his right shoulder! Before Song Tianyao could even feel the pain of being shot in the shoulder, Huang Liu kicked him again towards the car door. At the same time, Huang Liu stood fearlessly in the spot where Song Tianyao had just been hit and fired back at the two gunmen!
By the time Lei Yingdong, Ho Hung-sang, Nine-Tattooed Dragon, and the others who were walking behind reacted, one of He Xian's bodyguards had already shoved He Xian and Song Tianyao was on top of He Xian, into the back seat of the car. Huang Ziya did not linger, leaving Huang Liu and several bodyguards to continue firing, while he got into the car with his gun, closed the door, and the car sped away!
Nine-Tattooed Dragon looked around, grabbed the bolt of the huge wooden door, and rushed to Huang Liu's side. "Who shot Mr. Song? I'll smash his head in!"
Inside the speeding car, He Xian calmly instructed the bodyguard driving the vehicle, "First, go to Kiang Wu Hospital to bandage A-Yao's wounds and have the hospital find a reliable person to remove the bullet from A-Yao."
The pain from the gunshot wound to his shoulder made Song Tianyao lean back in his seat, covered in cold sweat. His vision blurred, his heart pounded, and he couldn't hear a word He Xian said. Only one thought occupied his mind:
Damn it, you offended so many gangsters in Hong Kong and didn't even get a scratch, but you've only been in Macau for less than half a day and you've already been shot? Your business is at a critical juncture, are you going to die?
Macau, I really made a mistake coming here.
Chapter 283 Reporting Safety
The car carrying Song Tianyao and He Xian sped toward Kiang Wu Hospital. He Xian took out a handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it against Song Tianyao's shoulder where he had been shot. With the pressure from He Xian, Song Tianyao, who was already in excruciating pain and gritting his teeth to endure it, couldn't help but groan.
"Bear with it, A-Yao, a gunshot to the shoulder won't kill you." He Xian shouted at Song Tianyao, whose eyes had momentarily glazed over, "You're scared, not in pain!"
Song Tianyao gritted his teeth, took the handkerchief from He Xian, pressed it against his wound, removed He Xian's hand, and turned his face, already contorted with pain, to look at He Xian. Besides the ferocity and pain on his face, a murderous intent also surfaced. The fierce killing intent in his eyes almost made He Xian's heart skip a beat! Indeed, only in the face of life and death can one see a person's true face! This young man has such a strong murderous aura.
"Fuck you! Brother Xian, the first thing I'll do if I don't die is kill Huang Liu! Bullets can't kill me, but those two kicks he gave me in the back almost broke my spine!"
Huang Ziya, in the passenger seat, swiftly retrieved the hemostatic powder he carried with him. He leaned over from the front seat, used a dagger to cut open Song Tianyao's shirt at the shoulder, and applied the powder directly to the wound. He then instructed Song Tianyao to hold the gauze against the wound to prevent the powder from being washed away by the blood. Finally, he pried open Song Tianyao's mouth and poured two pills inside. After finishing, he returned to his seat, his eyes wary, gripping his pistol, surveying the surroundings, and calmly said:
"Mr. Song, A-Liu wasn't trying to harm you, nor was he trying to use you to take a bullet for Brother Xian. He reacted quickly, kicking you and Mr. He against the car door with two kicks, then positioning himself in your and Brother Xian's positions, forcing the gunman to shoot him. The gunman was initially aiming at Mr. He's position. If you panicked and followed behind Mr. He after the first shot, you would definitely die from the second shot. A-Liu's kicking you aside allowed him to position himself in the gunman's aiming position, forcing the gunman to fire first before he could re-aime, giving you and Mr. He. He a chance to get into the car."
Song Tianyao naturally didn't understand the intricacies of bodyguard-assassin relationships, but what Huang Ziya said made some sense to Song Tianyao. If Huang Liu wanted to sacrifice Song Tianyao's life to shield He Xian from bullets, one kick would have sufficed; there was no need for two. Or rather, even if Huang Ziya was just making things up, what could Song Tianyao do now? Was he supposed to tell Huang Ziya in Macau, "You bastard, just you wait, I'm going back to Hong Kong to get reinforcements," and have hundreds of men with machetes come and hack Huang Liu to death in the Macau Street?
"So, should I thank him when I get back?" Song Tianyao forced out the question through gritted teeth.
Huang Ziya said calmly, "I don't even know if A-Liu will survive."
The car drove from Rua do Campo to Rua da Vitória, and finally onto Kiang Wu Road. It drove straight into the hospital gate without stopping, bypassing the four-story main building and heading towards the two-story building at the back.
Seeing that the car was moving at an unusual speed, two young men dressed in shirts, who appeared to be family members of a patient, immediately put their hands on their waists and stood at the entrance of the building, blocking the car, just two stories behind the building, which was slightly obstructed by a fence and greenery.
