Chapter 4: Ambush

  Dong Xiaochuan also fell silent, his identity was a bodyguard, and as a bodyguard, he couldn't possibly disobey his employer's words.

  Of course, this is just a bodyguard hired by ordinary people. In the security guard rules of real national leaders, the professional judgment of the bodyguard is paramount, and the national leader being protected must follow the arrangement of the bodyguard. This arrangement does not refer to interfering with the leader's work, but rather how to cooperate with the security work. Abroad, if the employer seriously fails to cooperate with the security work, the security department can even terminate the security contract and cancel the security work for the employer. Such an employer is often called stupid.

  Dong Xiaochuan's goal is also to enter the depths of the Golden Triangle and lift the veil of mystery that shrouds it. He has heard many legends about the Golden Triangle, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. Many things can only be truly felt when experienced in person. During his secret training at the National Security Department, his instructor often said: "No matter how well you train, without actual combat experience, your skills will be reduced by half."

  He sat quietly in the back seat, but the front passenger seat was taken by Shi Haiyang, who was chatting with Teddy. Teddy asked Shi Haiyang, "Brother, where did you find him?" and nodded towards Dong Xiaokang with his mouth.

  Shi Haiyang smiled and briefly told Dong Xiaokang's origin story.

  Teddy said: "It seems that he is indeed from a special forces unit in Huaxia. I heard that those who come out of there are all elites, much more powerful than the average troops. When will I have a try with him."

  Shi Haiyang said: "Huaxia's land army is world-renowned."

  The car was driving very fast, and it seemed that Teddy wanted to arrive at the General's mansion as soon as possible. Dong Xiaochuan, however, felt that danger was getting closer and closer. He could enter the National Security Bureau's Qinglong Department, complete many dangerous missions, and master martial arts to the point of being able to use internal energy, largely due to his keen senses. This was a natural talent that couldn't be learned or practiced.

  With a loud shout from him, Teddy immediately stopped the car and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Dong Xiaochuan said seriously: "There is danger ahead."

  Shi Haiyang looked at Dong Xiaokang's expression which didn't seem like a joke, his face also turned cold and stern, asking: "Can you be certain?"

  Dong Xiaochuan said: "I'm not sure, but I can feel it."

  Shi Haiyang hesitated for a moment and said: "What do you think we should do?"

  Dong Xiaochuan looked at the sky, which was gradually darkening. Since they had already arrived here and there were no shops in front or villages behind, he said: "Since we've already come this far, we can only move forward from now on. However, we must be even more cautious."

  "What's up?" Teddy asked in a low voice.

  Shi Haiyang had just met Dong Xiaochuan and wasn't clear about his abilities. However, he was always cautious and practiced martial arts himself, knowing that when one's skills reached a certain level, they would develop a special intuition that allowed them to sense the future. Many times, he had encountered danger and escaped by relying on his sudden feelings of unease. So he said to Teddy, "Be careful."

  This is the road to the Golden Triangle, and the people who come and go are not ordinary people. If they came to pick up Shi Haiyang, then Teddy has already arrived. Since it's not to pick him up, it's very likely that they want his life.

  The car had just passed a place, and suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound. The road exploded violently. The three people in the car were all martial arts experts and had experienced many dangers. In an instant, they flew out along the explosive airflow, and after falling to the ground, they rolled over, only suffering minor injuries.

  Three people quickly rolled over and hid to one side, only to see that the car had been blown to pieces. They looked at each other, still in shock. If it weren't for the thick and heavy chassis of the car, the three people would probably have been blown to kingdom come.

  Dong Xiaochuan immediately focused his attention on his ears, and the sounds around him all entered his ears. He heard no less than ten guns firing, and immediately shouted: "You all hide, throw your guns over, I'll take care of it."

  Teddy glanced at Shi Haiyang, and Shi Haiyang said, "Listen to him." Teddy pulled out a pistol from his waist, surprisingly it was a 12.7mm Desert Eagle, which he reluctantly handed over to Dong Xiaochuan. The Desert Eagle is the king of pistols, known as the pocket cannon among handguns.

  Gunfire erupted, with over a dozen bullets shot from various directions towards the three. Shi Haiyang and Teddy constantly changed positions to dodge them. As martial artists, their bodies were extremely agile, dodging amidst the chaos without panic.

  On the battlefield, the only effect of panic is to hasten one's demise. Both men had been through countless dangerous situations and knew that calmness was the best way to handle such a situation. Since Dong Xiaochuan told them to hide, they hid without hesitation.

  Dong Xiaochuan held the Desert Eagle and silently muttered a sentence, hoping that you can hold on for a little longer, whether or not you can survive depends on yourselves.

  Not bad, the sky had darkened, and all the snipers were hiding in the dense forest, not easy to spot. For ordinary people, it was indeed not easy to spot, but for special agents who had undergone rigorous training, based on the influence of the environment, the trajectory of bullets, and the propagation of sound, they could vaguely judge the location of the sniper.

  Many times, snipers constantly change their position for this reason. They know that as soon as they fire two shots, a skilled player will be able to determine their location, although such skilled players are not common.

  As long as you know their position, everything else will be easy. These ambushers are not professional snipers, at most they are ordinary gunmen.

  Dong Xiaochuan stood up, and with a casual shot, he hit someone's head. The bullets fired by the enemy, as soon as they left the barrel, Dong Xiaochuan could hear them, as if he could hear the trajectory of the bullets running through the air. Although he couldn't make his speed as fast as the bullet, he could dodge in advance according to the direction from which the bullet came.

  This skill is not because he practiced Xingyiquan, but because he received special training in the National Security Bureau. The National Security Bureau also has the responsibility of protecting the highest leaders, so when they train, it's not about dodging bullets, but blocking them. Many times, when there are bullets flying towards the leader, the leader can't possibly have their own skills to rely on, so in that instant, they have to rely on the bodyguards to block the bullets.

  Blocking bullets also requires a lot of skill, and it's not just about using your body to block them casually, but rather trying to use non-vital parts of the body to block them. This requires a very clear judgment of the bullet's trajectory. Blocking bullets and dodging bullets are based on the same principle, which is having a very clear understanding of the bullet's path.

  Dong Xiaochuan could judge the trajectory of the bullet just by hearing the gunshot, and then rely on his excellent physical fitness to dodge the bullet in a very small range, and then shoot one enemy at a time. His accurate, ruthless and extremely handsome movements made Shi Haiyang, Teddy and the snipers hiding all look stunned.

  With a gun in hand, I have the world. This is not only an aura but also a state of mind, a state of unity between man and gun. The Huaxia Dragon Unit is renowned worldwide and strikes fear into the hearts of people around the globe; Longyao, or Dragon's Fang, is called as such because they possess abilities that far surpass those of ordinary special agents, rather than being referred to as Tiger Guard or Vermilion Bird.

  Perhaps Shi Haiyang's boxing skills are more powerful than Dong Xiaochuan, but his overall quality is definitely not as good as his. Dong Xiaochuan was also slightly surprised, and he didn't expect himself to have reached such a state, but he immediately understood in his heart that this was the result of the potential being developed because his life was in danger.

  The Huaxia Dragon might be famous, but the number of warriors who die in battle every year is not small either. Because they often face the most dangerous missions, and those who survive are the strongest among the strong.

  The leader of the ambushing enemy hadn't even had time to say retreat when he was shot dead by Dong Xiaochuan, and like the sniper who was also shot dead, he was filled with doubts in his heart, wondering how they knew our position.

  Only when you stand in a certain position can you know the people and things in that position, otherwise it's all hearsay, and none of it is reliable. People in industries like assassins, hitmen or special agents all know that there are still many great shooters in this world, but what makes a great shooter most formidable is not their marksmanship, but rather their ability to conceal their own position and identify the enemy's position. Once you've found your bearings, shooting isn't difficult.

  The gunfire gradually stopped. Dong Xiaokang listened carefully and only heard the breathing of two people, Shi Haiyang and Teddy, shouting: "It's all settled, you can come out now."

  Shi Haiyang walked out, although he was not seriously injured, but his body still had several places where the explosive material scratched the skin, revealing several very deep mouths. At this time, he didn't care about these at all, and said in surprise: "Did you do all of this?"

  Teddy was extremely excited, and he heavily patted Dong Xiaochuan's shoulder, raised his thumb, and shouted: "Idol, you are my idol! My god, are the special forces of Huaxia really so powerful? I want to be your apprentice!"

  Dong Xiaochuan coldly waved his hand and said to Shi Haiyang: "It seems that the price you offered is still not enough."

  Shi Haiyang knew he had picked up a treasure. Hiring Dong Xiaochuan as his bodyguard wasn't an impulsive decision either. This time, he came to collect money, and based on past experience, it wouldn't be peaceful, so he thought of finding a bodyguard.

  He burst out laughing and said: "Haha, okay, one million is not enough, I'll give you two million. As long as you're willing to follow me, I'm willing to employ you forever! No, the two of us will cooperate, once I get the money, we'll start a company together." He's a clever person, otherwise he wouldn't have become a postdoctoral researcher, and knows how to win someone over.

  Short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness are the biggest taboos for businessmen. At any time, talent is always the most important thing. From ancient times to the present, the greatest entrepreneurs have not invested in what business, but invested in people.

  "No, you'd better give me a million. A person without credibility cannot establish himself. I'm not saying I don't like money, since you've already hired me, I must ensure your safety."

  "Alright, we'll talk about these later. As long as I get the money, you won't be left out."

  With a heroic wave of his hand, Shi Haiyang said, "What a pity the car can't be driven anymore. We still have some distance to go before we reach General's mansion." Teddy looked at the destroyed military vehicle with some disappointment and said,

  Dong Xiaochuan said: "Those who ambushed us wouldn't have run over here."

  Teddy's eyes lit up and he said, "Right, they must have a car." He took another look at his own car, feeling a bit reluctant to part with it, then said, "Big brother, you guys wait here, I'll go find a car."

  Dong Xiaochuan stopped him and said, "You're also injured, let me go find it." In fact, he had taken a rough look at the surroundings and could tell where the car was roughly parked, so he didn't want to waste time letting Teddy go find it.

  As soon as he entered the woods, Teddy said to Shi Haiyang, "Brother, I think he's not an ordinary special forces soldier. I'm not someone who hasn't seen Huaxia's special forces before, and I've even fought against them. They're far from being as fierce as him."

  Shi Haiyang looked at the several wounds on his arm and said slowly, "The military strength of Huaxia has always been very mysterious, but these are not what we care about."

  He let out a deep sigh, gazing into the dark distance where nothing could be seen, and continued: "What I care about is getting the money I deserve, then leaving this place..." His voice grew lower and lower, as if coming from his heart, "and never coming back here again."
