After thinking about it, Ah Heng decided to make the call anyway.
But the message that came back from the other end of the phone made Ah Heng's face turn very pale.
Let's go!
A few minutes later, Ning Yuan packed her things, turned around and hurriedly came downstairs, greeting them.
Foreman Li looked at Ning Yuan, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but step forward to stop her: "Advisor Ning, Comrade Rong repeatedly told us that we can't let you leave the compound. Why don't we wait until he comes back? Aren't there some bad guys outside targeting you?"
The young man playing cards with them looked at Aheng and hesitated: "Aheng, the captain has instructed us not to leave the compound without permission."
Ning Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Aheng: "Have you been able to contact your captain?"
Ah Heng shook his head, his expression somewhat grave: "The captain is on an important arrest mission today and isn't at his work location. Their military vehicle phones are on a one-way channel; unless the vehicle phone is switched to dual-channel communication mode, I can't call him to find him."
She paused for a moment: "But for the sake of secrecy, our discipline does not allow us to do this. We will only open the dual-channel communication method after the operation is over."
In other words, they can't contact their team leader right now.
No one knows when today's mission will end; it's not uncommon for people to stake out a target for three days and three nights.
Ning Yuan closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again and said firmly, "Go to the hospital. I can't wait."
Her mother, from whom she had been separated for over twenty years, whom she had missed for two lifetimes, and whom she loved unconditionally, was now in the hospital, her fate uncertain.
If you arrive too late, you might not even get to see them one last time.
How could she possibly stay in a safe place without considering her own safety?
Foreman Li couldn't help but say, "Consultant Ning, Madam Ning has been kind to you, but you have also been kind to me by protecting me. I've taken so much of your salary, but I still feel I should wait..."
“There’s nothing to wait for, she’s the best godmother to me!” Ning Yuan’s eyes were red, she didn’t want to care anymore, and without hesitation she pushed Foreman Li aside and ran out of the yard.
Foreman Li was stunned: "Huh? Consultant Ning has recognized Madam Ning the Second as her godmother... No wonder she was in such a hurry, but..."
He still looked at Aheng with some unease: "Aheng, I have a feeling of unease..."
“The three of us, along with Xiao Ning and Jeffrey, the bodyguard from the Hong Kong government, are no match for more than a dozen people. The hospital is less than ten kilometers from here, and we can get there in half an hour.” Ah Heng patted his broad shoulder and then looked at the young man beside him.
No one could sit calmly at home while their mother is ten kilometers away, her life hanging in the balance, without even glancing at her.
It was already quite good that Xiao Ning remembered to find a reasonable excuse for her loss of composure.
Foreman Li couldn't say anything, he just sighed and picked up a wood-chopping knife: "Fine, I'll go all out. I'm paid to do what I'm supposed to do. Consultant Xiao Ning has been more than kind to me."
The three of them immediately followed Ning Yuan out of the small courtyard and ran towards the gate of the main courtyard.
Jeffrey had been anxiously waiting at the door. When he saw Ning Yuan come out with her entourage, he immediately went to greet her and said, "I'll go get the car."
Ah Heng waved his hand and said, "I'll go get the jeep. We'll go in our car."
Only in her jeep were the light gear that Captain Brother had always prepared—
If we have enough firepower, if Boss Xiang really dares to intercept the car with his men, we can take them all down!
Although she felt that in broad daylight, under the emperor's nose, the eldest son of the Xiang family shouldn't be so crazy as to dare to lead a group of people to intercept them on the way, she still had to be on guard.
Jeffrey was puzzled, but he nodded and locked the car.
Ah Heng quickly drove the car out, and the four of them got in. Ah Heng sat with Ning Yuan.
The driver floored the accelerator, and the car sped off toward the main road.
Ning Yuan sat in the back seat, holding the jeep's handle with one hand, her eyes closed, her mind somewhat muddled, and her face pale.
Ah Heng sat in the middle, reached out and held her other hand, and comforted her in a deep voice, "It's okay."
Ning Yuan's face was pale. She gripped Aheng's hand tightly with her other hand and remained silent.
After a while, she forced herself to calm down, opened her eyes, and said to Jeffrey, "Jeffrey, tell me again what happened this morning. You were too vague earlier. Did you call the police later?"
She needs to determine whether this matter is directed at her or at the Ning family.
Jeffrey recounted the incident apologetically: "...The car suddenly came rushing towards us. I was next to my wife at the time, and the moment it hit us, I grabbed her and threw her to the side. I immediately called the police."
"But the ambulance arrived first. I thought I'd take my wife to the hospital first, so I left the scene to Jenny, who was with me. Jenny later arrived at the hospital and said the police came to investigate and said that the car's brakes were leaking oil and the driver lost control, so it was an accident."
Ning Yuan's delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly: "What a coincidence?"
"Xiao Ning, no matter how coincidental it is, we have equipment in the car, and all four of us are quite capable. Don't worry, we'll get you to the hospital safely," Aheng said suddenly after listening attentively.
Ah Heng found the Hong Kong government official's heavily accented Mandarin with a mix of Cantonese and Mandarin a bit difficult to understand; he had to concentrate fully to understand what he was saying.
Ning Yuan frowned and looked at Jeffrey: "Where was Godmother hit by the car? Why was she so badly injured?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jeffrey said guiltily, "At first I thought I had protected the Second Madam well. She just seemed to have twisted her ankle and had some minor cuts and bruises, but no one expected... that her injuries would be so serious!"
The second wife looks young, but she is actually quite old; she gave birth to her daughter when she was over forty.
Ning Yuan glanced at Jeffrey's tattered clothes and injuries, and for some reason, she felt that something was off.
She said thoughtfully, "You mean you rolled around twice with my mom in your arms, absorbing the initial impact, but my mom was seriously injured, and you were alright?"
Jeffrey nodded: "When I got to the hospital, they found out I had severe internal bleeding and needed surgery. But I'm tough, having received years of specialized Muay Thai training, so it didn't bother me much..."
Ah Heng chimed in, "Jeffrey, even with your Muay Thai training, you're still human, not made of steel. The car crashed into you like that, and you still managed to grab Madam Ning and dodge. She was seriously injured, so you're probably not badly injured either. You were just too nervous to realize you had internal injuries!"
"Brother-in-law Li" and "Zhen Ni'er" are the English names of two bodyguards and secretaries of Madam Ning.
She didn't understand why these Hong Kong government officials would choose such tongue-twisting names that sounded like those of ethnic minorities!
Ah Heng glanced at Jeffrey, just like Ning Yuan did: "When we were fighting on the border, some of our lads were so hot-blooded that they didn't even realize they'd been shot. They kept charging, and then suddenly collapsed! You should go to the hospital for a checkup later!"
According to Aheng, "Brother-in-law" and "Real Girl" are not as good as Erdan, Sanbao, Sihai, and Danizi. They are easier to remember and sound better!
Jeffrey shook his head: "I know what you mean by that. When I was fighting in underground boxing matches in Kowloon City, I saw someone whose liver was blown apart, but he didn't feel any pain and continued to fight. In the end, he suddenly vomited blood and died after leaving the ring. But that was because when he was excited, too much adrenaline was secreted, which blocked the transmission of pain nerves."
He paused, then touched his body: "But that state won't last very long. I've been out for an hour and a half. If I had severe internal bleeding or a concussion, it would be very obvious by now. I'll fight back. I've checked myself, and I don't even have any fractures, at most a slight crack in my arm."
Ning Yuan, who had been listening absentmindedly, suddenly looked up and stared at Jeffrey in a flash—
"Ah Heng, don't you think it's a bit strange—my mom was being protected in Jeffrey's arms. The chances of the person being protected being seriously injured while the bodyguard is unharmed when they make the same gesture are a bit low, aren't they?"
