Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 479: Uncertain of Life and Death

There are only two possible identities of the visitors, one is Liu Mingzhang and his wife and their son, and the other possibility is Li Shangkui and his friends. Lu Shaohua was not too worried about Liu Mingzhang and his wife, but what worried him was Li Shangkui and his friends. Only when they came back safely could Lu Shaohua feel relieved. That was why when someone came, Lu Shaohua's eyes were all focused on the gate.

In fact, before this, Tang Daxin had already told Lu Shaohua the identity of the visitor, but Lu Shaohua did not pay much attention to the meaning of Tang Daxin's words.

Yes, Tang Daxin had already told Lu Shaohua the identity of the visitor. It was the sentence "You're back?" that clearly told Lu Shaohua. You have to know that Lu Shaohua just asked He Qiang to leave the couple. Only when the couple came back, Tang Daxin would say "You're back" to He Qiang.

If it was Li Shangkui and the others who came back, Tang Daxin would not say "back", the first sentence he would say should be "Are you okay?" Of course, nothing is certain, and Tang Daxin might not really say "Are you okay?".

But from a normal logical point of view, Tang Daxin would never say "I'm back."

In fact, this was the case. The person who came back was none other than He Qiang. Later, he was followed by Liu Mingzhang and his wife. Liu Mingzhang was holding their son. They both walked in with serious expressions. After entering the room, Liu Mingzhang put their son down and walked towards Lu Shaohua.

"Are you okay?" Liu Mingzhang asked, obviously knowing that something happened to Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua shook his head and said calmly, "It's not over yet. Brother Li and the others haven't come back yet."

"Oh!" Liu Mingzhang responded. He was not unfamiliar with Li Shangkui, and he only knew a little bit about what happened. He only knew that something happened to Lu Shaohua. Now that Lu Shaohua said this, he knew that there was indeed no one like Li Shangkui and the other four in the room, so he couldn't help but comfort him. "It should be fine, don't worry."

"I hope so." Lu Shaohua's expression seemed a little pessimistic. That group of people shot at him. If they knew that Li Shangkui and his group were just people attracting fire, they might get angry and shoot at him.

"Hey!" Liu Mingzhang sighed heavily, found a seat and sat down. With a stern face, he looked up at his wife and son, waved his hand and said, "You guys go back to your room. If there is nothing else, don't come out."

Now is a critical moment, and it is inevitable that they will not leave the hotel. Liu Mingzhang was worried about his wife and son, so he made special instructions. However, his wife was not an ignorant person. She knew that something serious had happened to Lu Shaohua, so she nodded obediently and left with her son.

The hall was silent. Sitting in the room, Lu Shaohua did not speak, and Liu Mingzhang did not speak either. The others were not tactless either. They all kept their mouths shut and stayed quietly in several places.

Time passed by bit by bit, and soon, ten minutes had passed, and there was still silence in the room, and no one spoke. Lu Shaohua's mind was in a mess, and he was very irritated. After all, the longer time passed, the smaller the chance of Li Shangkui and the others coming back!

"Boom, boom"

The door suddenly rang, and everyone in the room woke up, especially Lu Shaohua, whose eyes lit up and looked towards the door with a hopeful expression. He prayed secretly in his heart that the people who came back were Li Shangkui and the others.

The door opened and footsteps were heard. The first person to come in was Yang Yang. However, the way he walked this time was obviously different from usual. He walked limply, with his suit wrapped around his thighs. Li Wusheng was supporting him beside him.

"injured."

Lu Shaohua's first reaction was that Yang Yang was injured. He stood up from his chair and walked quickly towards him. The expression on his face was almost frozen and he was already steaming, showing how extremely angry he was at the moment.

"Is it serious?" Lu Shaohua asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just got shot in the thigh." Yang Yang shook his head. He had been shot many times before. He had been shot often when he was on missions before and he had gotten used to it. Although it was a bit painful, he could still bear it.

"Just a bullet in the thigh."

This sentence put Lu Shaohua's heart at ease. No other parts of his body were shot, so Lu Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief. After all, a gunshot to the thigh would not threaten his life.

Gently helping Yang Yang sit on the sofa, Lu Shaohua then looked at Li Wusheng, noticing the large bloodstains on his arm, frowned, and asked, "Your hand was also shot?"

It is undeniable that Li Wusheng was also shot. He nodded, smiled back at Lu Shaohua, and said easily, "This injury is not a big deal. It just hurts a little bit."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua nodded and asked Li Wusheng to sit down first. Then he looked towards the door and found that there was no one there. Li Shangkui and Fan Kun were not there, so he asked, "Where are Brother Li and the others?"

"We dispersed." Li Wusheng replied, and then added, "When we got out of the big shopping mall, we split into two groups. Yang Yang and I were in one group, and Kui and Kun were in another group. We divided up to attract the enemy."

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua couldn't help feeling annoyed. The breath he had just let out came up again, and he was still worried. However, Lu Shaohua's brain was still calm. He knew that now was not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing right now was to take care of the injuries of Yang Yang and Li Wusheng, otherwise the excessive bleeding would cause death.

"Mingzhang, call the person in charge of Phoenix Sales' American branch right now and ask him to find a few reliable doctors to take out the bullet first." Lu Shaohua gave the order without even looking at Liu Mingzhang, and then emphasized, "Hurry up, quickly."

Phoenix Group's products are sold all over the world, so it is inevitable to set up branches, especially Phoenix Sales, which has countless branches. Take the United States for example, there is not only a branch in Washington, but also a branch in New York.

"Okay." Liu Mingzhang nodded and made a phone call. However, he did not call the American branch's phone number, but Xu Jiarui's phone number, because Xu Jiarui himself was on a business trip in the United States and was supposed to come over later to meet Lu Shaohua.

Speaking of Xu Jiarui coming over, we have to talk about the connection between Liu Mingzhang and Xu Jiarui. Xu Jiarui learned that Lu Shaohua and Liu Mingzhang came to Washington, and his business trip was about to end, so he just came back to meet Lu Shaohua and the others, and then returned to Hong Kong together.

And Xu Jiarui was coming to meet Lu Shaohua and the others, so Liu Mingzhang went out for a walk and was about to return to the hotel to wait for Xu Jiarui. This caused He Qiang to meet Liu Mingzhang and his wife halfway when he went out to look for them, so he returned to the hotel so quickly.

It was just that Lu Shaohua had no idea that Xu Jiarui was coming to the hotel. It was Liu Mingzhang who contacted Xu Jiarui privately. This resulted in Lu Shaohua calling the person in charge of the American branch when he gave orders to Liu Mingzhang, instead of directly mentioning Xu Jiarui.

Lu Shaohua's mind was in a mess at this time. Liu Mingzhang was talking to the other party on the phone, but Lu Shaohua didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. He just covered his head and sat on the sofa, thinking quietly.

Time passed quickly, and another ten minutes went by. Lu Shaohua's heart, which had originally calmed down, became restless. He could no longer sit on the sofa, so he stood up and paced around the room, very anxious.

Lu Shaohua was anxious, and so were the others, especially Yang Yang and Li Wusheng. They were even more anxious. After all, Li Shangkui was their captain and their former comrade-in-arms. It would be a lie to say they were not anxious.

The three triplets were also anxious. After all, Li Shangkui was their captain and they had been together for so many years. There was no false feelings between them. If something happened to them, they would also be sad.

People are flesh and blood and have emotions. Even if they are special forces soldiers, have worked as mercenaries, and have killed more people than they can count with their hands and feet, they still have emotions. It's just that they hide their emotions and don't show them, which gives people the illusion that they are iron-blooded.

The second hand on the big clock ticked, and every beat struck Lu Shaohua's atrium. His heart beat faster and faster. As the room was silent, the heartbeat seemed unusually clear and could be heard by everyone in the room.

His calmness was gradually consumed, and Lu Shaohua's heart became more and more restless. His steps became heavier and his speed became faster, showing Lu Shaohua's true inner state at the moment.

Three minutes, another three minutes passed. Normally three minutes passed very quickly, but now, Lu Shaohua felt as if three years had passed, a very long time, as if three years had passed, and every moment was in agony.

Yes, time passes very slowly, but that is only relative to Lu Shaohua’s subconscious and superficial thoughts. Lu Shaohua wishes that time could pass slower. If time were slower, maybe Li Shangkui and the others would come back!

Time equals money. This sentence is often said in the business world. The same is true for Lu Shaohua. His time is also equal to money, but that is only for the Phoenix Group. For Lu Shaohua now, time equals life.

Yes, time is equal to life. With every second that passes, the possibility of Li Shangkui and his companions' survival becomes smaller. The reason is simple. If Li Shangkui and his companions were not in danger, they could quickly escape from the enemy's pursuit with their skills.

If they could quickly escape from the enemy's pursuit, Li Shangkui and his companions could quickly return to the hotel to reunite with Lu Shaohua. However, more than half an hour had passed and Li Shangkui and his companions had not returned yet. What did this mean? Lu Shaohua knew better than anyone else that they must be in danger.

Lu Shaohua felt heavy in his heart, because the speculation that Li Shangkui and the others were in danger had been basically confirmed.

But then again, encountering danger does not necessarily mean death, and it will take some time to see whether you can come back alive.

But can Li Shangkui and Fan Kun really come back alive?
