Chapter 526 Princess Assassinated
The girl had slightly curly hair and wore a mask. Although only her round eyes were visible, her curled eyelashes made her look like a delicate porcelain doll!
"Princess Hiya, welcome." Mayor Wang of the port city stepped forward. "Thank you and President Mang of Myanmar for your concern for the epidemic situation in our country!"
Princess Xiya's eyes crinkled as she glanced at Mayor Wang.
Beside Mayor Wang stood Wen Ni, dressed in a gray suit and skirt. She bowed slightly and began to translate Mayor Wang's words fluently in Burmese.
Her current role is that of a translator.
"With the end of the Burmese civil war and the establishment of a new government, we have received strong support from China. My trip here is also to express my gratitude for China's assistance in rebuilding our homes. I hope our modest efforts can help China overcome this difficult time and further strengthen the friendship between China and Burma."
Princess Sia spoke softly, her words conveying goodwill.
The entire conversation was very formulaic and bureaucratic.
Wen Ni's translation is accurate and error-free.
At the same time, she was also paying attention to her surroundings and everyone's every move.
So far, everything appears to be normal!
"To thank the princess for traveling from afar, and to thank you for bringing us so many supplies, we have arranged a wonderful and sumptuous lunch for you in advance." Mayor Wang smiled broadly and stepped aside. "Please, Princess, come with me into the banquet hall!"
"good."
Princess Sia, holding the hem of her skirt, stepped up the stairs.
Beside Princess Sia were a Chinese diplomat, a female attendant brought by the princess, and several bodyguards from her home country.
In addition, there were four tall soldiers. They were dressed in uniform black combat uniforms, completely covered from head to toe, even their eyes were hidden behind black tactical sunglasses.
But Wen Ni still recognized her.
The two at the very front are Leng Feng and Long Ren!
Their duty today, like hers, is to stay by Princess Sia's side at all times.
The banquet hall was resplendent with gold and silver.
Golden lamps were placed on the long table, along with special delicacies from both China and Myanmar.
Seeing Princess Sia remove her mask, revealing her youthful face, Wen Ni realized that the princess was only fifteen or sixteen years old—so young!
"Princess Xiya is young and promising, capable of sharing the burdens of her brother and the country. She has traveled thousands of miles alone to come to my country, which I truly admire," Mayor Wang said.
"It's what I should do."
Princess Sia was somewhat shy.
"Is President Hillen in good health?" Mayor Wang asked again. "We were also very concerned when we heard that President Hillen was ill and had not been able to leave the country recently."
"My brother is in good health."
After Princess Sia finished answering, the smile on her face faded, and she picked up her juice and took a small sip.
We chatted on and off for a while longer, and the banquet was already halfway through.
Wen Ni noticed that Princess Xiya and her female attendant were acting strangely and were restless.
After a brief observation, she strode forward.
"Your Highness."
"Translator?"
"Is your chair a little uncomfortable?" Wen Ni asked with a faint smile. "I'll get you a more comfortable chair."
"Huh? But I..."
“It might be inconvenient for the princess to wear a dress,” Wen Ni thoughtfully took off her suit jacket and draped it over Princess Xia’s legs, then winked at her. “You can get up now, Princess.”
"Thanks."
Princess Sia gave her a grateful look.
"Perfect timing! I need to use the restroom, but I don't know where it is. Could you take me there?"
"It is my honor, Princess."
Wen Ni glanced at the faint bloodstain on the chair. Sure enough, the princess had her period and had accidentally stained the chair.
He handed the chair to someone else, greeted Mayor Wang, and then led the princess and several bodyguards out of the banquet hall.
I stood at the bathroom door and waited for quite a while.
The princess and her female attendant then came out.
"Translator Wen, you're so thoughtful." Princess Xiya looked at Wen Ni, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you."
"Your Highness is too kind." Wen Ni followed a step behind the princess. "I have a younger brother who is a few years older than you. As the eldest sister, I can always notice the little thoughts of my younger siblings at a glance."
“Yes, that’s how my brother treats me. He knows my little moods and will try his best to cheer me up!” At this point, Princess Xiya’s smile faltered, and her tone lost its cheerfulness. “But now, he is the president of a country, and we can never go back to those days. My only wish is for him to be happy. As long as he’s happy, I’m willing to do anything…”
"Your Highness," her female attendant suddenly whispered, "the more you say, the more mistakes you make."
"Um."
Princess Sia lowered her eyelashes and said nothing more.
The moment she stepped back into the banquet hall, she transformed from a playful and lively girl back into the quiet, well-mannered princess!
The banquet ended quickly.
The group left in order.
Wen Ni and Mayor Wang walked out the door with the princess and stepped down the last step.
The sun was shining brightly, and the car was right in front of us.
Once the princess got into the car and left, their tense nerves could finally relax.
"Princess, please..."
"Bang!"
A loud crash startled everyone.
Wen Ni looked up and saw a van that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere crash into the checkpoint vehicle and head straight for them!
"Protect the princess!"
"alert!"
The moment Leng Feng and Long Ren spotted the truck, they pulled the princess aside!
But the seemingly out-of-control truck also changed direction, heading straight for Princess Sia!
"Bang bang bang!"
The bullet shattered the windshield and punctured the tires, but it couldn't stop the car's forward momentum.
"This can't go on."
Without hesitation, Wen Ni turned around and rushed to the car next to her, amidst the astonished gazes of the mayor and others. She stepped on the gas, instantly accelerating and recklessly crashing straight into the van!
"Bang! Crash! Smash!"
The front of the car was smashed to pieces before it could barely overturn the cargo box. The wrecked cargo box grazed past Long Ren and the others, barely gliding past them before finally coming to a stop. The driver died on the spot.
"Princess, Princess, are you alright?"
"Everyone, on high alert!"
"Princess, please go inside first and come out when it's safe!"
One instruction after another was issued on site.
Just as they were helping the princess up two steps.
A gunshot rang out, sending chills down everyone's spines once again!
The shot struck the bulletproof shield that Dragon Blade was holding.
Wen Ni, who had just climbed out of the car, also clearly heard the gunshot.
"There's a sniper at the 45° angle from the nine o'clock position!" Wen Ni accurately reported the enemy's location, then suddenly realized, "This van is just a diversionary tactic to create chaos and distract us, giving the sniper cover to find a sniping position! Their target is the princess! To get the princess away!"
The others, disregarding their astonishment at how much this mere translator knew, prioritized protecting the VIPs.
"Princess, go forward, we'll protect you!" Leng Feng and Long Ren held up their shields, completely concealing and protecting the princess's slender figure.
But the princess didn't move an inch.
