Just as Ning Zhiheng had guessed, Fu Yaozu of Shengde Hospital now has a full sixteen bodyguards protecting him.
As soon as he entered St. John's Hospital, he immediately informed his subordinates by phone, and Manager Tian quickly dispatched a large number of bodyguards to protect him at St. John's Hospital.
Just as the doctor was performing surgery on Fu Yaozu, his wife and several close associates heard the news and rushed over.
At this moment, Manager Tian was anxiously waiting outside the operating room. He kept pacing back and forth, and finally couldn't help but turn to Xu Yongchang, who was sitting on a bench, and asked, "Old Xu, are Zhen Laosan and the others really all gone? And that damn it! That Boss Ren is gone too?"
Xu Yongchang nodded slightly and said slowly, "Everyone was gone. In less than ten seconds, they were riddled with bullets. I risked my life to save Mr. Fu. It was a stroke of luck!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Tian's eyelids twitched, his heart pounded, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Xu Yongchang, however, was too lazy to pay attention to him. His mind was in turmoil, and he was in a worse mood than Manager Tian. The terrifying scene was still vivid in his mind. His employer was assassinated by his former close comrade-in-arms. If his comrade-in-arms hadn't hesitated slightly and let him go, he would probably have been shot to death by now.
Others may not know, but he knew very well that his comrade-in-arms was no ordinary person. He was a real agent of the Chinese Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau who had mysteriously disappeared before the end of the Battle of Shanghai. He never expected to meet him under such circumstances today.
If he wasn't mistaken, the people accompanying him were indeed agents from the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau. Why would they want to assassinate their employer, Fu Yaozu? Could it be true, as the rumors circulating on the streets recently, that Fu Yaozu was indeed a traitor who sold out his country for personal gain? If that were the case, wouldn't he become a traitorous lackey who aided and abetted evil?
Especially since he had shot and killed one of the enemy's gunmen, who might have been his comrades-in-arms, his mood worsened. He looked at Manager Tian beside him and asked solemnly, "Old Tian, tell me the truth, does Mr. Fu have any connection with the Japanese? And who exactly is this Mr. Ren?"
Hearing the hostility in Xu Yongchang's tone, Manager Tian felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the person opposite him was no ordinary person; he was a notorious ruthless character in the underworld. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially invited him back and recommended him to the boss as a driver and bodyguard. If he told the truth, he was afraid that the man would turn on him on the spot.
Fortunately, the person is now dead, and there's no way to verify anything. Of course, he couldn't admit it. He straightened his face and swore an oath, saying, "Old Xu, we've known each other for so many years, would I lie to you? Mr. Fu is a true businessman. Those rumors outside are just his business rivals deliberately slandering him, trying to trip him up and do something underhanded. I've followed him for many years, don't I know what kind of person he is? This time, I introduced you to him to guard against those people's dirty tricks. This time, we really owe you a debt of gratitude, otherwise Mr. Fu's life would have been in danger!"
At this point, Manager Tian couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Previously, there had been a lot of public opinion targeting Fu Yaozu, and Fu Yaozu had also realized that someone was targeting him. After years of navigating the ups and downs of the business world and fighting in chaotic times, Fu Yaozu was also extremely shrewd. How could he not be on guard? Just in case, Fu Yaozu asked Manager Tian to recruit a few more bodyguards.
Manager Tian then introduced his longtime friend Xu Yongchang to Fu Yaozu. Xu Yongchang was quite famous in the Shanghai Green Gang. As soon as Fu Yaozu heard his name, he immediately hired Xu Yongchang as his personal bodyguard. Unexpectedly, he was soon assassinated, but Xu Yongchang saved his life.
Just then, a flurry of footsteps echoed in the hallway. Fu Yaozu's wife and several department managers rushed over. Seeing Manager Tian standing at the operating room door, Fu Yaozu's wife asked anxiously, "Xiang Chen, how is Lao Fu? He was fine when he left just now. How could this happen?"
Other department managers also inquired, which made it difficult for Manager Tian to answer. Just as he was explaining, the operating room door opened, and the doctor came out. Seeing everyone in front of him, they quickly quieted down.
"Doctor, how is Mr. Fu's injury? Is he in danger?" Manager Tian asked anxiously.
"The patient's injuries are not serious. Neither of the two bullets hit vital organs, and they have been removed. He will wake up after the anesthesia wears off, so please don't worry!" the doctor replied.
Hearing the doctor's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.
Fu Yaozu was quickly wheeled back to his ward, which was guarded by bodyguards both inside and out, making the ward completely airtight.
Xu Yongchang, standing to the side, did not believe Tian Xiangchen's explanation. He believed that the person the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau wanted to kill was not just a businessman. Fu Yaozu and Tian Xiangchen were definitely hiding something from him. At this moment, he regretted it immensely. He should not have agreed to be Fu Yaozu's bodyguard. He was afraid that he had been drawn into a vortex and might become an accomplice of the Japanese.
He became increasingly agitated, but unable to confirm anything, he decided not to linger there any longer. Without saying goodbye to Tian Xiangchen, he turned and left the hospital, returning home to rest.
Fu Yaozu's injuries were indeed not serious. He was injured in the shoulder and calf, and neither of the wounds hit vital organs. He regained consciousness quickly after the surgery, and the first thing he did upon waking up was to ask to return to his home.
Fu Yaozu was well aware that his safety could not be guaranteed in the hospital, where there were many people and it was easy for someone to approach him. But it was different when he returned to his own home. The high walls and courtyards were like a fortress. As long as the security was tight, outsiders could not get close to him at all. The safety was incomparable.
