92 Wuxing As A Sieve (1/2)
Hearing the loud gunshot, Dongmei naturally turned around and cried out, her lover's instinct telling her to run towards him, ”Wuxing!” She didn't need to pretend as she was really concerned after seeing a bloody hole in his chest. Wasn't he supposed to be shot safely by a sailor!?? How come there is an additional shooter?
She wouldn't be panicking this much if everything went according to their plan but this scenario definitely wasn't what was supposed to happen. What was worse, the wound was right in the middle of his heart which bothered her even more than ever, freezing her mind. She didn't exactly know how Wuxing's ability worked but she believed that heart and brain were two vital points that would kill everyone if shot.
Dongmei immediately wriggled out of her mother's embrace and planned to rush towards Wuxing only to be grabbed by Guan Mei right after.
”Mom! Let go!” She yelled at her mother, not believing that she was actually stopping her. Wuxing painful expression and pale face were enough for Dongmei to act momentarily. There wasn't much time to react in such accidents and with such a delay, the patient would die any time soon if not treated right away.
Of course, there was already a very little chance to survive after a gunshot wound to the heart but Dongmei believed Wuxing could hold on for a while.
Guan Mei naturally didn't listen to her daughter, grasping her tightly but unfortunately, she wasn't in her peak form like Dongmei, almost letting her get away and only when Guan Dong came to the rescue, was they able to hold their daughter down.
Even with her body immobilized, she didn't stop struggling as she desperately tried to escape, shouting the whole time, ”Let me goooo!!! I need to help him!” She didn't know when but her eyes also started watering, her gaze directed at her mother whose heart tightened after seeing such desperation in her daughter's eyes.
They didn't plan anything like that yet so they were also surprised for such a turn of events and even Guan Dong wasn't happy with that as he yelled towards the Captain on the destroyer ship, ”Who the hell took the shot?!!”
He obviously was mad that someone dared to shoot in the spot so close to them. Wuxing wasn't even five meters away from them and someone dared to shoot him. Just to be sure, he pulled both struggling Dongmei and his wife to safety as he glared angrily at the Navy Captain.
The one in question naturally paled and instantly cried out behind him towards his own crew, ”Who was it?! I said hold the fire! Are you guys deaf!?” He naturally didn't plan to let anyone hold him responsible for everything, quickly shifting the blame to someone else, trying to find the culprit.
'Damn, it hurts!' Meanwhile, Wuxing was going through the pains of being shot in the heart, not lying that it actually didn't. He didn't waste time, repairing his heart right away while forcing the bullet out of his body before catching it as he grasped his chest with a painful expression.
The sailor who was supposed to shot him upon seeing his sign couldn't help but gulp, not expecting such turn of events. He was told that Wuxing has a thin vest underneath his shirt filled with blood bags that would look like he was shot for real so he didn't worry about this highly paid mission but now with an unexpected shot, Wuxing didn't look like he was acting.
As if Wuxing lost his mind, he raised his Beretta while aiming at the destroyer ship and cursed while glaring at the riflemen, ”Fuck! Who did this?!”
Bang! Bang! Wuxing didn't hesitate to pull the trigger, the bullet hitting the metal frame of the ship, creating many sparks as they bounced away. The riflemen who were standing the closest to the railings quickly hid behind the cover, preparing their own rifles to fight back but the Navy Captain quickly yelled as he also fell to the ground, ”Hold the fire! Don't shoot!”
He didn't expect that Wuxing wound suddenly go crazy but secretly he was happy, the current situation giving him more options and excuses he could use later.
Seeing no targets on their side, Wuxing turned to their own sailors as he called out angrily, ”Was it someone from you fuckers?!” He glared at them, suddenly locking his gaze at one of the sailors as he continued investigating, ”Maybe it was you, long nose?!”
Bang! Another bullet was shot from Wuxing's gun, missing one more time as it hit the floor of the ship, passing through the thin metal with more easiness then the two shots before.
Dongmei was struggling to escape from her parent's embrace just a moment ago but when she saw Wuxing acting according to the plan as if the shot in the heart didn't bother him at all, she realised that he was actually alright which calmed her a lot. She still called out to him with worry in her voice, ”Wuxing! Stop it already!”
Guan Dong might have been a dick most of the times but when it came to protecting his family, he didn't care about his own life and hid both of his women behind his back as he shouted, ”Stay hidden! Don't move!”
Bang! Bang!
Another two shots got fired right after his warning, this time sounding much different as if shot with another gun which made Guan Dong turned around his head to check out the situation. What he saw was a sailor aiming his rifle at Wuxing and two additional holes which were already oozing blood on Wuxing's chest.
”Cough!” Wuxing staggered a few meters backwards as he coughed, raising his gun at the shooting sailor while cursing, ”Fucker!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another three bullets were shot at Wuxing's torso, forcing him a few steps back but surprisingly, he was still standing, the desire to live and get revenge at the shooter visible in his eyes. His white shirt was almost wholly covered in blood at this point.
”Stop them!” Guan Mei cried out to her husband, feeling Dongmei's body turning cold. She even started shivering which ultimately convinced her that Dongmei's love for Wuxing was real.
