Chapter Five: Rescue
The bright sunlight on the street fell down, stinging her eyes. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand, somewhat unaccustomed to the piercing sunlight. As she walked past the entrance of Huang Ye, a distant Audi approached and stopped at the door. The driver immediately got out of the car, walked to the rear door, and respectfully opened it.
She looked up and saw a pair of shiny black leather shoes stepping on the ground, and after a while, the man's entire body appeared. Under the dazzling sunlight, she couldn't see his outline clearly, but felt that this man's every move was naturally elegant, even the simplest action was smooth and pleasing to the eye. His hair was neither long nor short, with a few strands covering the sides of his ears, wearing a white shirt paired with a pair of trousers, the whole person exuded a warm and refined elegance, with an extraordinary temperament.
His pupils contracted, and he was stunned. Han Jinwu naturally sensed the scorching gaze from the other person. He wasn't unfamiliar with being stared at so intensely, as he was good-looking and of noble status, and such gazes were unavoidable wherever he went. Lifting his eyes, their gazes met, and with the sun behind him, he clearly saw her appearance. His gaze fell on her face, and a stunning beauty flashed before his eyes. Before he could even appreciate how good-looking this young man was, his body was suddenly pulled back forcefully. "Be careful." A clear and bright voice rang out, and he found himself pinned to the ground by her. Then, he heard a gunshot, and he vaguely saw a bullet graze past her arm, with fresh red blood flowing from her wrist.
Han Jin stared blankly at her, clearly not expecting the young man to have such a quick move to save her. Seeing the blood flowing non-stop from her hand, his face tensed up and became serious, and he asked urgently in a hoarse voice: "Are you okay?"
Meng Zhen's words were stuck in her throat, and only then did she clearly see the man's face. The man had beautiful features, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and his entire being was like a spring breeze, making people want to get close to him. However, those eyes had already turned cold, with not a hint of warmth at the bottom. She suddenly came back to her senses, realizing that she had mistaken him for someone else for an instant. She stood up, glanced at the blood on her hand, and pursed her lips without speaking.
The driver on the side was also stunned by this shot, then reacted and looked at Han Dashi in a hurry, seeing that he was fine, he put down his heart and rushed over.
At this time, after hearing the gunshot, a large number of people came out from the Huang Ye. Li Hu saw her and was stunned for a moment. Han Jinwu made a phone call to have someone investigate immediately, and Li Hu also sent someone to find the murderer immediately.
"I'll take you to the hospital." Han Jin Yu wanted to support her, but she shifted her body and he ended up holding nothing.
"Not needed." A cold voice sounded, and he turned to leave.
Han Jin said sincerely: "Today is really thank you, if not for you, I'm afraid the one who got hurt now would be me. Little brother, what's your name?" He had some inexplicable good feelings towards this young man.
Before Zhan Yan could respond, Li Hu had already answered for her: "Hanshao, she is Meng Zhan Yan." This kid was indeed lucky, having saved the famous Hanshao of City B as soon as he stepped out. Who didn't know that this young master Han was a potential heir to the Han family? His future prospects were boundless, and with his own abilities, he had risen to his current position, making him someone not to be underestimated.
Han Jin Yu had already gotten into the car and opened the door to let her in. Li Hu glanced over and gently helped Zhan Yan onto the car. This bullet was lodged deep in his flesh, requiring immediate surgery to remove it. This kid really had guts, taking the initiative to help someone block a bullet - what a way to court death! But now, it could be considered a blessing in disguise. After all, making friends with someone powerful wasn't a bad thing.
Han Jin drove all the way, occasionally turning his head to look at her, with a hint of concern in his eyes. Just now, he was still shaken by the close call, and if it were this person in front of him, he would probably be in real danger today. In fact, he also had some doubts in his heart - how did she manage to save him? Moreover, her movements were so swift that he couldn't see clearly. Squinting his eyes, he carefully examined the young man, and couldn't help but deny it - this young man was really well-crafted. His face was thin and small, yet more refined, with big eyes and clear pupils, making people involuntarily feel good about him. After being shot, her expression remained calm and unruffled, without even a hint of pain or any special emotions. Looking at this young man who was nearly ten years younger than him, Han Jin couldn't see through him for the first time.
"Have you had enough?" A cold voice sounded, she turned her face to look out of the window.
Han Jin Yu looked a bit embarrassed as he gazed at her wound, his expression serious and concerned. "Are you alright?"
Lowered his head and looked at the blood on his left arm, remained silent for a moment before saying: "It's fine!"
Then there was a silence again, Han Jin Yu looked at her cold profile, fine sweat emerged, presumably it was very painful, few people could bear this pain, but she remained silent, her eyes deep, wanting to find some topics to divert her suffering, only in most cases, others would take the initiative to find topics to chat with him, now he suddenly had to find a topic, he couldn't think of one for a while, so there was another silence in the car.
The car drove to the West Ring Road, where a large crowd of people were crowded around the mall, with over a dozen police cars parked on the side. Dozens of security guards began to disperse the surrounding people, and most of them followed the guards and left in a hurry. The road was congested, making it impossible to drive through.
The phone in his pocket rang, and Han Jin's eyebrows furrowed as he took out the phone and answered it.
"Han Shao, the department store on Xihuan Road has been set with a timed bomb, blocking the road and there's no way to get through!"
"I've already arrived at the west ring road." Han Jin said calmly, his eyes fixed on the outside, his face a bit heavy. He never thought he would run into this situation so coincidentally. Since he was here, he naturally wanted to go out and investigate, but the little brother next to him had been shot in the arm and probably couldn't wait any longer. Turning his head to look at her: "It's dangerous outside, you stay here, I'll go ahead and have someone send you to the hospital immediately." After finishing speaking, he got out of the car.
She stared outside, silent for a moment. She had also heard some of what the other person said to him earlier and roughly knew what happened. Seeing him get off the car, she endured the pain in her arm and got off too.
"Is that Mr. Han?" Recognizing Han Jian was Wu Xiong, the captain of the police squadron. He had met him a few times before at social gatherings and knew his famous name, so he recognized Han Jian at once. "What brings you here?" His tone was somewhat flattering but not to the point of being obsequious, just very respectful, with a clear distinction between superior and inferior.
Han Jin saw someone recognizing him, and he was slightly surprised at first. Less than a second later, his eyes returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. If Wu Xiong hadn't been a police officer who was usually observant, Han might have thought it was just his imagination.
Han Jin Yu felt a bit annoyed that someone had recognized him and caused trouble, so he looked around and Wu Xiong immediately understood and explained: "Han Shao, you'd better leave here quickly. This department store was fine this morning, but at noon, rumors suddenly spread that a timed bomb had been planted. At first, we didn't know if it was true or false, but we couldn't ignore it either. So we called in an explosives expert to take a look, and unexpectedly, they really found one. However, the bomb is quite complex and not from our country's arsenal. The expert still hasn't figured out how to defuse it, and time is running out. It's really urgent. Now, General Gu is also on his way over to the floor above."
