Chapter 209: Election for the Position of Family Head (1)_1
To be honest, Situ Xin had a pretty good idea who was behind the attack, anyway. Only a few people wouldn’t mind seeing Old Deng in trouble. But those few people, they couldn’t be touched for the time being.
When the bullet whizzed past Old Deng’s ear, he felt a wave of terror wash over him. He thought that if it weren’t for Situ Xin pulling him aside in advance, that bullet would have gone through his brain by now.
Although everyone hit the ground, they still saw the bullet that had been fired at them. When it flew past, several of the female airport executives couldn’t help but scream in fright.
The bodyguards protecting Old Deng acted swiftly after the bullet passed, quickly closing in on Old Deng, Situ Xin, Loo Jie, and Situ Che, forming a protective circle around the four of them. They all watched their surroundings with grave concern, their expressions taut with high tension.
"Baby, just now..." Having just been pulled by Situ Xin, Loo Jie finally came to his senses, turned to Situ Xin, opened his mouth to ask something, but ended up not asking anything at all.
But it was Situ Che who, seeing that Old Deng was unharmed, looked at Situ Xin with intense anxiety, "Baby, are you okay, are you hurt anywhere?"
Old Deng, upon hearing Situ Che’s question and recalling how Situ Xin had stood right by him and pulled him aside at a critical moment, asked anxiously as well, "Xiao Xin, tell Grandpa Deng, are you hurt anywhere?"
"I’m fine." In fact, after Situ Xin pulled Old Deng out of the way, she remembered that they all had talismans she had made on them, meaning they would have been safe even if she hadn’t done anything. But her actions just now had been purely instinctive.
Seeing Situ Xin was alright, Old Deng finally felt relieved. He began to recompose himself, directing those present to leave the scene of the incident in an orderly fashion. Having been through many such incidents, Old Deng knew that trying to find evidence or the person who fired the shot would be impossible. Those people were all astute in politics, with meticulous minds, and wouldn’t leave any traces for him to find.
Even if they did find some evidence or caught the shooter, the covert forces would have already taken care of it. So, he didn’t bother to call for an investigation. Instead, he instructed his staff just to collect the bullet.
