Chapter 195
The first thing the fake highway policeman had said to Christopher after he was seriously injured by the explosion was, “You are Cecilia’s weakness. Once we have you, she will naturally fall in line.”
While Christopher was struggling to hold off his opponent, the assassin added,
“Cecilia is calling you. Reply to her quickly. I can’t wait to capture her.”
Christopher believed in Cecilia’s skills and knew that she would not be caught easily.
Even so, the assassin had a gun, and Christopher was worried that Cecilia wouldn’t be able to handle it.
The sharp point of the knife punctured the skin of his neck, and blood overflowed and dripped down.
His badly injured arm trembled; he was gradually losing strength.
At this time, Cecilia and the bodyguards‘ shouting were getting closer.
A wicked smile appeared on the face of the assassin as he exerted more force, causing the knife in his hand to go deeper.
“It seems that Cecilia really cares about you. She knew it would be dangerous to come here for you, but she still came.”
Anxious beyond measure, Christopher suddenly gained strength.
He grabbed the man’s wrist and turned it over quickly.
The knife slashed across his neck, aggravating the injury.
But he didn’t seem to feel a thing. He raised his elbow and hit the corner of the assassin’s eye.
The assassin reacted quickly. While avoiding the attack, he also broke free from Christopher’s grip.
He shouted, “Christopher, go to hell!”
This was deliberately said loud enough for Cecilia to hear.
By then, Cecilia was close to them and came quickly after hearing the
voice.
She knew it might be a trap, but she couldn’t resist going.
Christopher grew anxious, and his potential exploded. He was originally

losing, but he now appeared to be gaining the upper hand.
Astonished at Christopher’s endurance, the assassin quickly avoided it. The next second, he took out his gun and pointed it at the fuel tank of the car beside him.
“Don’t move, or I will shoot.”
If he fired, he would die, but at least Christopher would be dragged into the afterlife with him!
As for Cecilia, she would be seriously injured if she didn’t die.
Christopher’s face changed dramatically before he shouted, “Ceci, don’t come here. Leave!”
Before he could finish his words, the assassin turned around and aimed his gun at Cecilia, who was running over.
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
Cecilia was so close that she couldn’t dodge it, especially since she was caught off guard.
Her eyes suddenly widened.
It wasn’t because a bullet was shooting at her.
No, it was because Christopher had moved in front of the gun at the last
moment.
Bang!
The gunshot hit Christopher in the shoulder, causing her heart to wrench.
“Christopher!”
Cecilia roared and dashed toward the man who was about to fall.
The assassin gave Cecilia a wicked smile. “Once again, there’s nothing you can do!”
After saying that, he pulled the trigger.
However, he was a beat too slow.
Cecilia rushed to Christopher’s side at an inhuman speed.
While catching Christopher’s falling body, she raised her leg and kicked the assassin in the wrist.
Before the bullet could even be fired, the assassin’s wrist fractured with a loud crack from the kick.

The gun flew out of his hand and was caught by Cecilia. The next second, she shot at the assassin mercilessly. With a bang, a hole appeared in between his eyebrows. When the man fell to the ground, his eyes were full of disbelief.
How could anyone be so fast?
He wouldn’t have thought so if he had seen the news of a mother rushing to catch her child who fell from the building in time despite being far
away.
Because the human potential was infinite!
Cecilia stopped caring about the dead man and held up Christopher, who was badly wounded.
As she felt the man’s breath, she asked anxiously, “Chris, are you okay?”
By then, Christopher had reached his limit, so he could only say weakly, “Ceci, don’t worry. I still want to grow old with you. I won’t let myself die.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Cecilia’s back suddenly tighten.
This was the body’s instinctive defense against danger.
He didn’t know where he got the strength to switch positions with Cecilia.
Before he could steady himself, a sharp pain burst from his back, and he fainted completely.
Cecilia looked at the tranquilizer dart stuck on Christopher’s back with a strong killing intent.
The dart was used to anesthetize large animals, but she was sure it wasn’t filled with tranquilizer.
“Find out who fired the shot!”
She said this to the bodyguards, but no one moved.
They were all on guard in case anything else happened.
The recent series of events had happened so suddenly that they weren’t able to do anything. Now that the dust was settling, they felt regretful and self–reproachful.
“Ms. Yancey, the safety of you and Mr. Christopher Forte is more important. There’s no hurry to find the shooter now.”
Cecilia calmed down and said, “Help me carry Christopher into the car
The modified car was much safer than remaining out in the open, so she

could treat Christopher’s injuries with peace of mind there.
Just as the bodyguards were about to lift Christopher, the sound of sirens came from far away.
Hearing that, Cecilia knew that the people Evan had arranged for were coming, so she felt a little relieved.
“Never mind, don’t put him in the car. Take Christopher to the clearing near Acocester, and an ambulance will be here soon.”
The items in the first–aid kit were limited and could only be used to treat simple external injuries. More serious injuries required a trip to the hospital.
