Chapter 1200 Heather of the Other Shore Flower (224)

"Damn... does it have to be this intense? Is it really that exaggerated?"

This piqued everyone else’s curiosity, eager to know what Heather really tasted like.

After ten minutes, the people outside couldn’t wait any longer, feeling that these ten minutes dragged on longer than a century. They kept banging on the door, shouting, "Are you done yet? Why so slow? If not, let’s all go together! X! I can’t hold it in anymore!"

The person inside shouted impatiently, "Stop making noise! What the hell are you shouting about? Get lost!"

The people outside started cursing, completely ignoring his well-intentioned advice.

This group of idiots, do they even know what’s really going on inside?!

Heather stopped threatening him, leaning leisurely against the wall.

That person asked curiously, "No need... to scream?"

"Yeah, if you want to keep screaming, go ahead, I won’t stop you."

"..." Who has such a fetish for screaming?

But he couldn’t figure out what she was actually up to.

Perhaps seeing his confusion, Heather’s fingers suddenly started tapping irregularly on the wall, which made him even more perplexed.

That’s when she asked him, "Have you ever heard of Morse code?"

"Morse code?"

Isn’t that something...?

He suddenly realized, "Were you just...?"

In the darkness, she smiled, her lips curling up.

Gunpowder smoke lingered in the dark.

She closed her eyes, not participating, calmly listening to the volleys of gunfire outside.

Before long, someone knocked on the door: "Miss Hai, we’re Fourth Master’s people."

"Goodbye." That was the last thing Heather said to him.

The door opened; she left the room, and whatever happened afterwards had nothing to do with her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Hai. Are you alright?"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

In fact, she didn’t know any of these people.

Gu Liancheng had personnel in various places; it was impossible for her to have met them all.

In the distance, Nian Shen stood there, seeming accustomed to all of this, staring at her intently.

Heather walked over to him, laughing, "How did you know I understood Morse code?"

"I guessed."

"Your guess was spot on..." she smiled, "If I couldn’t read Morse code, wouldn’t you be heartbroken? Ah... Mr. Nian wanted to save Miss Qu, abandoning everything else without a care for my life or death, tsk... quite hurtful."

Upon hearing this, Nian Shen’s lips curled up, indicating he was also smiling.

There was no way she didn’t understand Morse code.

"Hearing your response, I knew you got it, so I was assured. I knew you could hold out, ten minutes is no problem."

Heather couldn’t use Morse code to communicate because her hands were tied, which is why she said those things.

"Thank you, Mr. Nian, for believing in my abilities."

"Of course."

Nian Shen used Morse code to tell her that Gu Liancheng’s people would arrive soon, and holding on for ten minutes was enough.

Who would have thought they actually understood Morse code? Even if fingers kept moving, nobody would consider that possibility.

"Mr. Nian, you’ve seen quite a few dramatic scenes, and yet you’re so calm about accepting all this? Why did you choose to tell Gu Liancheng and not the police?"

"Actually, before he left, Mr. Gu told me about his identity, Mrs. Gu worries about you, and so does he. He told me if you encounter any trouble, just tell him, whatever it is. He suggested fighting fire with fire, and I agreed, saying it’s more effective."
