Chapter 1226 Heather of the Other Shore Flower (250)

Today is the opening day of Nian Shen’s branch office in Linyang, and he is going to cut the ribbon.

This kind of event would be the most suitable for Lucia to make a move. She failed yesterday, and if she were her, she wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity either.

...

The ribbon-cutting ceremony had already started, and amidst many people congratulating, Heather’s gaze became even busier. Her eagle-like eyes searched through the crowd, trying to spot any suspicious targets.

There were also quite a few bodyguards and security personnel, but it’s feared that defenses could still fall short.

At this moment, Heather suddenly saw a red laser point appear on Nian Shen’s chest, her eyes widened abruptly.

It’s a sniper!

At this time, confirming the sniper’s location was pointless. She couldn’t stop it in time, so she had no choice but to shield herself in front of Nian Shen.

Nian Shen was speaking, and Heather’s sudden appearance drew attention, unsure of what she was doing.

But as Nian Shen continued speaking, everyone ignored Heather.

Heather’s phone suddenly vibrated, and with her Bluetooth headset on, she answered directly.

She also guessed who it was, and under the cover of Nian Shen’s microphone, she spoke softly, "Lucia, if you want to kill him today, you’ll have to kill me first. I’ll just say this one thing, you can do as you see fit."

"Heather, do you think I don’t dare to kill you, is that why you’re so audacious? Do you think you’re still the same Heather as before, the one the leader held in his mouth for fear of melting, and held in his palm for fear of breaking? If I hit you both with this one shot, I might as well send you both on your way."

"Don’t waste your breath. You know I’m not afraid to die; saying this won’t affect me. If you’re going to kill, do it. Until I’m dead, you can’t touch him."

"I really will shoot; move aside."

"Go ahead."

"You—"

Would Lucia really dare to shoot?

She just wanted to see Heather’s scared expression, or maybe beg her, but...

Even though she had left Mexico and come to this small city, she hadn’t changed. She was still Heather.

Heather won.

With Lucia’s hesitation, she confirmed that as long as she was here, Lucia wouldn’t shoot.

But she wasn’t arrogant enough to think it was because of his earlier orders.

Anyway, she knew she wouldn’t shoot.

She turned around, watching to see if the red laser would target his forehead.

She hadn’t witnessed Lucia’s marksmanship, but generally, one would aim for the body, even if it meant firing multiple shots, because the target is larger, whereas the head, if poorly aimed, could easily miss.

Fortunately, it seemed Lucia had given up on this assassination attempt, and the latter half of the ribbon-cutting went smoothly.

Up until the end, no other incidents occurred.

The invited media and important figures from the business world were all invited into the company for observation, surrounded by many other bodyguards around Nian Shen, with only Heather being close to him, escorting him with a solemn expression, scrutinizing everyone around, with particular focus on suspicious figures.

But ultimately, it was confirmed that people were just too captivated by Nian Shen, hence they kept watching.

Nian Shen lowered himself a bit, though looking forward, he was speaking to Heather, "Aren’t you being a bit too dramatic? So serious, be careful not to scare others."

"Do I still have the mind to worry about scaring others?" Heather, also observing around while talking to him, said, "Do you know that assassin from yesterday is also here today? She wants your life at any moment."
