They both stayed in the car and made no movements, waiting for the enemy to make the first move. They were outnumbered so they had to play patiently.
"You, go check to make sure both of them are dead."
James and Kye could hear them talking. They silently just nodded and give each other eye signals. Since Kye was injured, he will stay back and do cover shots for James.
They spotted five men total from the two cars. It should be easy for both of them to take them down.
One of the men opened the back door to check on Kye first. Kye shot him and James popped out from the pa.s.senger side door and shot two men straight in the head before the others backed off to get cover from their cars.
"Three more to go." James nodded to Kye. He got into the back seat with Kye when the enemy fired back.
"There"s two behind that car and one behind the other." James was looking out and pa.s.sing the information to Kye.
"We have to go out." Kye expressed.
"Are you good for that though?"
"I"ll be fine. I have rested for a while now."
"Alright then bud. I"ll take the two and you take that one."
They both nodded in confirmation. They waited for the moment the enemies were reloading their guns to hop out of the car and ambushed them. There were many shots fired between the two groups.
James shot the first man down and kicked the other guy. He wanted to save at least one. He was about to tie the conscious man to the door but got an unexpected kick that made him stumbled.
James quickly got up and brawled out with the man. He delivered a straight hard punch to him before getting a shot to his head.
"KYE!." James yelled but there was no response. He tied the man that was still alive up and went to find Kye.
He found Kye on the ground with two more gunshots on him. He was still breathing but not speaking. James saw that he was in very bad shape.
"Hold on, keep the pressure. You will make it, brother."
Kye shook his head. He knew he was bleeding out too fast. "Miss…"
Kye tried to say something but coughed up some blood. "Don"t talk. It"s only going to make it worse."
"Gary." Kye tried really hard to finally spoke that word out.
"Hmm?"
"He… other person" Kye coughed again. "Car with Miss."
Kye took one deep breath and stopped moving. James took his pulse and cursed. He started chest compressions for a few minutes before he stopped. He looked at his b.l.o.o.d.y hands and gulped in some air.
James closed Kye"s eyes and went back to his prisoner. Guess luck was not on their side today, the man bit his tongue and bleed to death already. James shot the man a few times out of anger.
He heard his ringtone sounding from the car and went to pick it up.
"Is Lena there with you?"
It was CEO Shen. His voice sounded short and urgent. "James?!"
"I am sorry CEO Shen, Miss has been taken again."
-- Different viewpoint --
Lena told Henry and Shen Mao that she was leaving. When she left, Henry continued to talk to Shen Mao about the proposals from the other companies.
Yang Bo, Andy"s father, got up to the stage and spoke into the microphone. "May I have your attention?"
The room went silent and everyone"s attention was toward him. "My son and Miss. Wu will be cutting the cake now."
Yang Bo nodded and the kitchen staff rolled in a large 5 layered cake. Everyone took their seats at their a.s.signed table and waited for the couple to show up.
However, after a few minutes, nothing was happening. Everyone started looking at each other confusingly.
"Sorry for the delay, just a moment." Yang Bo announced. He walked off the stage to speak to his wife. "What is going on?"
"I don"t know. Andy said he could not find Eva." Madam Yang replied.
"That woman, how inappropriate!"
There was a loud clunk and everyone turned to look at Andy who was angrily entering the room. Eva told him that she needed to use the bathroom. After her not returning for some time, he went to look for her.
They had scheduled for the cake cutting in a few minutes and Eva knew that it was important. She wouldn"t miss this part of the event. Andy went and knock on the ladies room. After hearing no noises coming inside for a while, he went in. He checked all the stalls and the room was empty.
However, he says a few items dropped on the floor. He picked them up. One item was Eva"s white flower corsage and the other was a bracelet that looked very familiar to him.
He pondered a bit before remembering that it was something that Lena had always wear. He tightly gripped it and walked out of the room. "That woman, she dared lie to me!"
He opened the door roughly, disregarding the eyes looking at him, and walked straight to where Hazel was sitting. He abruptly grabbed her arms.
"Where is she?!" Andy screamed.
"Ow, ow, ow. You are hurting me." Hazel whined.
"Tell me. What did you and Lena do to her!"
"I don"t know what you"re talking about! Ow."
Andy was causing a scene and when Shen Mao heard Lena"s name, he stood up in alarm. "Didn"t Lena said she left a while ago?"
Henry gestured Shen Mao to sit and that he will go check on the situation. At the same time, Yang Bo and Madam Yang rushed up to Andy for him to relax.
"Andy Yang! You are hurting Hazel." Madam Yang reprimanded her son.
Andy let go of Hazel but his eyes were still engaged.
"CEO Yang, Lena had already left while ago. She called in for her guards to pick her up. Do not falsely accuse her like that." Henry spoke clearly so everyone can hear him.
"Really? Then isn"t this hers?" Andy held up her bracelet. "I found it with Eva"s corsage in the ladies room."
The audience disregarded the notion that Andy entered the ladies" room and instead gasp at the evidence he held.
"Just because those two items were seen together, does not mean Lena had anything to do with this. I could easily say that Eva did something bad to Lena."
