Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Entering the Police Station (1)

At a poor neighborhood in a city within the Beiyan Continent.

A man with a refined and scholarly appearance sat shirtless. He lit a lighter and heated the tweezers in his hand until they glowed red, then briefly dipped them in alcohol. Aiming at the gaping, fleshy wound on his waist, he slowly inserted the tweezers into his flesh.

"Hiss—!" The bone-deep pain made the man gasp sharply, and large beads of sweat slowly fell from his forehead. His face was pale, his lips devoid of color.

Standing beside him was a younger man holding gauze, watching him with concern.

"President, why don’t we go to the hospital? The people outside have probably left by now. It’s really too dangerous for you to remove the bullet by yourself!"

"We can’t go out!" The man’s voice trembled slightly, suppressed. He pushed the tweezers deeper into the wound, eliciting an even sharper intake of breath, "It’s clear someone is targeting me, targeting An’s. Going out now would be falling right into their trap. I’m from the An Family; removing a bullet is as easy as turning my hand over. Don’t worry; I’ll be done in a moment."

Indeed, the man who was extracting the bullet from his own body was none other than the missing An Zhihang. This event had its origin a few days earlier when he had flown to the Beiyan Continent.

That day, due to urgent matters, eighty percent of An Group’s Beiyan Continent division’s business suffered sudden, heavy blows. Without any preparations, An Zhihang made a decisive move, taking only his assistant with him and flying to the Beiyan Continent.

After arriving, just as the two of them left the airport and before the company car arrived, they were stunned by a sudden burst of gunfire.

They initially thought it was a terrorist attack—after all, such things were common in the chaotic Beiyan Continent. But after some time, the quick-witted and astute An Zhihang realized that the gunfire, which seemed to be attacking the entire airport, was actually concentrated around his location.

This discovery shocked An Zhihang greatly, and considering the issues that arose at the divisional company, he quickly deduced that someone wanted him dead—or rather, to destroy the An Family!

Actually, with An Zhihang’s skills, although he couldn’t resist such intense gunfire, he still could have escaped on his own. If he had taken advantage of the chaos to flee, and made it to An’s divisional company, there would naturally have been people to meet him. However, the problem now was that he wasn’t alone; he had an ordinary person with him who was completely defenseless!

An Zhihang naturally couldn’t just abandon his young assistant. Putting aside whether the assistant was an employee of An Group or not, even if the assistant were just an ordinary person, An Zhihang would never leave him alone in such a dangerous situation. Thus, with his assistant in tow, An Zhihang began an extremely perilous journey to escape, even taking a bullet for the assistant along the way. Although the injury wasn’t fatal, in a situation with pursuers behind and gunfire ahead, such a gunshot wound was truly perilous!

"President, it’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have been hurt!" The assistant, watching An Zhihang’s agonized expression as he removed the bullet, felt incredibly guilty.

"It is I who have implicated you. Let’s not talk about that now. After I remove the bullet, we’ll find a time to escape. As long as we can get to the company, we’ll be safe!" An Zhihang took a deep breath, bit down hard on a towel, and yanked the tweezers outwards with force!

"Mmm!—" A suppressed groan escaped him as blood gushed from the wound at his waist.

Seeing this, the assistant quickly sprinkled some hemostatic powder on the wound and then wrapped the bandage around An Zhihang.

"President, please make do for now. These items were borrowed from neighbors, and with the poor neighborhood’s conditions, this is the best we can manage at the moment. Once we get back to the company, you can properly tend to the wound," the assistant said, swiftly securing the bandage in place.
