80: Chapter 80 This is just playing along, isn't it?
After saying a thousand words, the end result was the same.
In the end, Lin Heng was still beating around the bush.
He never stated his intentions toward Zhao Xuerou.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuerou gave up directly.
Soon...
"Miss, we have arrived."
The driver stopped in front of a commercial street.
He said respectfully.
Zhao Xuerou nodded.
She glanced at Lin Heng with a hint of resentment.
This blockhead just won't catch on!
"My bodyguard, let's go... Accompany this young lady shopping; my safety is in your hands."
As she spoke, someone quickly opened the car door from the outside, and Zhao Xuerou stepped out.
Lin Heng naturally didn't say much and quickly followed her out.
Just as that Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped,
another car quickly pulled up behind it.
Su Xueer quickly got out of the car.
Behind her was the photography crew.
Everyone was on high alert.
The environment for this live stream could be extremely dangerous!
It was rumored that the only reason Zhao Xuerou hired a bodyguard was because she recently received a death threat envelope.
It specified when and how Zhao Xuerou was to be killed.
Out of concern for Zhao Xuerou's safety, Father Zhao chose to hire a security guard for her.
Thanks to his prior knowledge of Lin Heng's deeds, Father Zhao quickly locked onto his target.
And thus, this situation came to be.
Su Xueer and the others had practically entrusted their lives to this live stream.
The audience in the live stream room became agitated.
"Brothers, that's the daughter of Zhao Fengnian, the largest shareholder of the Zhao Group. No wonder she needs a bodyguard. I heard he only has this one daughter; he must dote on her."
"Tsk, Xueer is really something, risking her life to accompany a gentleman. I heard that assassin is especially arrogant, targeting beautiful women, and when he's about to strike, he sends the target a death countdown envelope."
"I've never heard of him ever failing."
"That awesome?"
"Of course! He's a listed killer on the Dark Web's assassin rankings. The things he's done—young girls in their prime—none of them ever escaped his grasp!"
"Hiss...! How terrifying!"
"Brothers, you should browse the Dark Web less. Otherwise, you might discover some hidden secret and die without even knowing why!"
"..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
But soon, they all felt a chill.
They wondered if the legendary assassins on the Dark Web were truly that formidable.
And then, soon after,
Su Xueer quickly caught up to Lin Heng and Zhao Xuerou.
Following the pair, a line of bodyguards in sharp suits trailed closely behind, exuding an imposing aura.
To ensure Su Xueer's safety, Zhao Fengnian spared no expense.
Every one of them was jumpy and extremely nervous, drawing stares from the surrounding people.
The rumored assassin was incredibly ruthless and could suddenly appear at an unexpected moment to deliver a fatal blow.
Then vanish quickly, leaving no trace for anyone to follow.
Even describing it as killing without a trace would be an understatement for that Dark Web assassin.
"Stop following me, you're so annoying."
"I just want to go shopping. How can I talk to Lin Heng if you follow me endlessly?"
The bodyguards behind them were stunned.
"Miss, we are just..."
"Enough, I don't want to hear it. Hurry up and leave. I don't want to see any of you right now!"
Zhao Xuerou said, hands on her hips.
As soon as she spoke, the bodyguards hesitated.
Seeing her determined attitude, they could only signal to one person nearby, and then they quickly departed.
The bodyguards dispersed.
However...
Lin Heng noticed that among those men, one person's gaze seemed slightly off.
The others left quickly, but that one person paused briefly, locking his focus onto Zhao Xuerou's information before quickly leaving.
"Lin Heng, ignore them, let's go."
Saying this, Zhao Xuerou quickly linked her arm through Lin Heng's, a smile appearing on her face.
Su Xueer followed behind the two, her expression looking somewhat displeased.
The live stream room quickly filled with jealousy.
"Holy crap, what's going on? The rich young lady has fallen for Lin Heng?"
"Seriously? Damn, my eyes... Ahhh!"
"Heavens! I can only say two words: envious."
"If I were Lin Heng, I'd lock down my future for life!"
"A little Wealthy woman, a beauty—those two points alone are enough to make the vast majority of men rush in."
"Isn't the chicken leg in my mouth fragrant enough? Why is my drool flowing from my eyes... Oh, it's my jealousy."
"..."
Many viewers in the live stream room made sour comments.
But soon, someone remembered the theme of the day.
"Hey? Speaking of which, this young lady doesn't seem to be in any danger. Look how relaxed Lin Heng is; this is fine, right?"
"It seems... that's actually true."
"Hey...! Look quickly, they're playing the claw machine?"
"Are you sure he's a bodyguard and not a playmate?"
"..."
Under Lin Heng's accompaniment, the two began shopping directly.
They bought some clothes they liked, and next came the entertainment.
"I want this one!"
Zhao Xuerou stopped outside a claw machine and pointed at a cute doll inside.
Helplessly, Lin Heng had to help.
Neither of them seemed to be alert to their surroundings, which made the audience in the live stream room very confused.
As for the bodyguards arranged by Zhao Fengnian, they were all gritting their teeth.
This Lin Heng...
He took five million from the boss but isn't taking this seriously at all!
He's too despicable!
Although they also received a decent amount, it was nothing compared to Lin Heng.
And Lin Heng is directly acting like a playmate??
The bodyguards were completely dumbfounded.
"Waaaaah!"
"It actually worked! You're too amazing!!"
Zhao Xuerou's eyes lit up.
She had originally intended to exchange for a hundred game tokens, but Lin Heng shook his head and then took the smallest denomination.
Five yuan.
It was a crumpled piece of paper.
Because online payment required a minimum of ten tokens.
With just those five tokens, he won on the very first try.
Zhao Xuerou clutched Lin Heng's arm, her face full of excitement.
The light shining in her eyes was not just due to her affection for Lin Heng, but more so the surprise of winning the doll.
And soon after,
Zhao Xuerou pointed at several other dolls, looking pleadingly at Lin Heng.
"Lin Heng, I want these few too..."
"No problem!"
Lin Heng quickly started inserting coins.
One try, one win!
Not a single one of the five coins was wasted.
Light was almost bursting from Zhao Xuerou's eyes!
Despite the fact that her net worth could easily buy this entire commercial plaza, she was so excited right now.
Neither of them felt the urgency of being closely watched by an assassin.
