Chapter 527 How to Save Her from Her Own Death
"Princess, don't be afraid! We're here to protect you!"
"Princess?"
But no matter what they said, the princess remained unmoved.
Wen Ni was hiding behind the overturned truck bed, holding her handgun, trying to locate the sniper's new position in the building across the street.
Hearing Long Ren and the others' anxious voices, she couldn't help but turn around and look at the princess.
Only saw
The princess stood on the third step, protected by two bulletproof shields. Her hands were clenched into fists, her fingertips gripping the sides of her dress tightly, her face turned towards the building, her eyes glazed over.
Terrified?
No, it doesn't seem like it.
That unusually young face was now tense and serious, as if it were making a decision.
"Princess?"
Wen Ni tentatively called out.
The princess's face stiffened, and then she turned her head very slowly to meet Wen Ni's gaze!
The moment their eyes met, Wen Ni's heart skipped a beat.
Because she saw an emotion on the princess's face that was all too familiar to her!
Decisive, willing to risk everything, and resolute in the face of death...
[sorry]
The princess's lips moved slightly, and she silently uttered these three words.
Then the princess withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at Wen Ni, and suddenly reached out and shoved Leng Feng and Long Ren, who were protecting her, causing them to stumble!
Although Leng Feng and Long Ren hadn't expected the princess to do this, they were no ordinary soldiers. Faced with this situation, surprised, they instinctively pulled back, one hand still holding the heavy shield, and the other reaching for the princess!
The silky dress slipped away from her fingertips.
They could only watch helplessly as the princess turned and ran to the side where there was no cover!
Wen Ni's heartbeat pounded heavily in her ears.
With almost no time to think, she holstered her gun, pushed off with her feet, and like a nimble cheetah, sped out from behind the car, heading straight for the princess!
The incident happened so suddenly, taking only a few seconds in total, that no one had time to react.
Because no one expected that, when faced with the threat of death, the princess would suddenly rush out and expose herself to the enemy's guns!
"Princess!"
"Princess, what are you doing?!"
The shouts fell almost simultaneously.
Near the top floor of the building across the street, a bullet suddenly shot out, heading towards the princess, and with a "bang!" it struck her right between the eyebrows.
Wen Ni's fingertips had just grasped the princess's arm.
She was already very fast; she had tried her best to be even faster!
But the girl in front of him seemed to have all her life force drained away in an instant. Her warm body collapsed into Wen Ni's arms.
The blood hole between his brows spread red across his entire face. His dilated, gray pupils gazed one last time at the bright, azure sky!
A vibrant girl, in just a moment, became a cold, lifeless corpse.
Wen Ni had seen countless deaths and injuries, but she could never get used to the helplessness of watching a life slip away!
In the banquet hall, the princess's words echoed in her mind.
[As long as my brother is happy, I'll be happy. I'll do anything for him.]
Does "whatever you do" even include death?
But Sia, will your brother really be happy to hear about your death?
"It's in the building across the street! Catch that sniper!"
At a command from behind, the military and police forces headed straight for their destination.
"Holy shit." Leng Feng stood there, hands on his hips, and cursed, "What the hell is this? Protecting her is pointless! It doesn't save her at all. Who would have thought she'd be asking for it!"
"Leng Feng, watch your words." Long Ren frowned and gave Leng Feng a warning. "No matter what, in other people's eyes, it's because we failed to protect you! Are you not afraid of giving others a handle to use against you for saying these things?"
"I understand, Vice Captain." Leng Feng suppressed his anger.
There's a reason why they can't be captains: they completely lack the patience, and they're all incredibly wild, ready to fight anyone who disagrees! Only Long Ren and Wen Ni can keep them in check.
The scene was filled with smoke.
Wen Ni knelt on one knee, her arm still supporting the princess's body.
She lowered her eyes and saw in the princess's outstretched palm a small yellow flower that she had picked and given to the princess before leaving!
The image of the princess's relaxed expression as she accepted the small yellow flower is still vivid in my mind, lingering there...
"You're so young, you should be reluctant to leave this world, so what is it? What made you go to such lengths, even at the cost of your own life?"
Wen Ni couldn't understand it, no matter how she tried.
"Your Highness!!"
"Oh my god! Your Highness!!"
"Is this...is this the protection your Huaguo provides? Our Princess Xiya, our beautiful and kind Princess Xiya, how could she die here?!"
"Give us an explanation! We demand an explanation from you, from the Burmese people, and from the Burmese president!"
The officials and bodyguards who had accompanied the Burmese barbarians rushed over, kneeling on the ground, trembling and crying out!
The scene was in complete chaos.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen! It's not safe here to investigate now. Let's get the princess out of here first!" The diplomat and Mayor Wang, drenched in sweat, led their subordinates and pulled everyone towards the building behind them.
Wen Ni slowly stood up.
My gaze swept across the crowds thronging the square and settled on a group of furtive figures on a distant street corner.
They moved quickly, disappearing just as the sniper was positioned in the building!
The fleeting profile of the person at the front made Wen Ni's eyes widen slightly!
"It's...him!?"
How could it be him?
Even though she was dressed in gray worker's clothes and only had her profile shown briefly, Wen Ni would never mistake her for someone else.
That person is Lu Jinye!
When did he wake up? Why didn't anyone tell her? And why did he suddenly come here, especially on this day...?
"Boss, what are you looking at? Shall we go?"
"nothing."
Hiding her many questions, Wen Ni turned around with a cold face and followed them back into the building.
It is separated from it by a blockade line.
The staff inside the building dared not move.
Staircases, corridors, and all emergency exits were immediately sealed off by the police!
Footsteps rose and fell, all rushing towards the direction where the sniper had last disappeared.
Another team, which arrived even earlier than the police, was already close to the sniper's firing range!
"One team is guarding the elevator."
"Group Two, guard the emergency exit."
"Team Three, continue checking the stairwells with me!"
Arrangements were completed quickly.
Lu Jinye was about to lead a team to continue climbing the building.
“Mr. Lu, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, and you’re overburdened. Leave this to us.”
"Don't worry about me, keep searching!"
Lu Jinye's face remained grim, and he did not stop walking.
He climbed two more floors without stopping for a moment, then suddenly stopped and turned back.
"What's wrong, Master Lu?" the subordinate asked, puzzled.
"If I remember correctly, the safety doors on the lower floors are all closed, right? Why is it that only this floor's doors are ajar?" Lu Jinye observed carefully and found that the safety door was only a tiny bit away from being completely closed!
His subordinates behind him hesitated and exchanged glances.
“We’re not far from the sniper’s firing position. You guys continue searching upwards, and a few of you will come with me.” Lu Jinye made the decision immediately.
He turned around, raised his hand, and pulled open the slightly ajar emergency door!
