Chapter 153: Does Qi Yuan Like Yan Liang? Qin Qianyun: Big Sister, You Didn't Call The Police

The one with the sesame seed spot on his head happened to be Hou Bo, known as Brother Hou.

He was, at least, the number two among that band of kidnappers.

He had no other hobbies, and his blond hair was stuck straight up—a typical energetic young guy hairstyle.

“Aaaah… Help! Help!!”

Brother Hou was crying like a baby.

He even pissed his pants—losing both face and dignity.

At that moment, everyone looked over.

They saw that Hou Bo’s hairstyle had a hole blasted through the top, leaving it like a tuft of weeds with a hole in the middle—an oddly distinctive, almost trendier look.

Qin Jiang’s marksmanship, by coincidence, had hit that sesame spot dead on.

If Hou Bo had been bald, the shot would have torn through a layer of his scalp!

Maybe even a layer of his brain would have been blown away…

Hou Bo just felt heat at the crown of his head, as if something had pierced through the top of his hair. The incredible speed sent him screaming and thrashing wildly.

“No way!! Qin Jiang is seriously badass, he actually hit it?”

“Wait, is there a noob gamer protection period in real life too? Qin Jiang’s initial grip on the gun was clearly nonstandard—what unlocked his talent now??”

“Damn, could this marksmanship have been transmitted to Qin Jiang through dual cultivation? That move, where power and precision were combined perfectly, was clearly identical to the Young Mistress’s…”

“I’m stunned… Even a rookie like Qin Jiang can steal the show, so those so-called professionals Young Mistress Qi brought have to step aside. Who thought the Young Mistress would have weaknesses? How could that even be!”

“Why does it feel like Qin Jiang is not the Young Mistress’s weak point at all—perhaps… he could become the sharp blade that makes the Young Mistress unstoppable!!“

Many people at the scene suddenly conceptualized just how terrifying the Young Mistress was.

Even if the Young Mistress had a pretty face by her side who seemed useless, it was not as simple as it looked.

Young Mistress Yan Liang herself was an absolutely dazzling, peak existence—no one could find a weakness in her.

Qin Jiang put the barrel away. His abrupt, sharp gaze paused and the ferocity in his eyes quietly dispersed.

That guy had trampled the ring he’d given to Yanyan.

Serves him right.

At this moment Jiang Heng looked at Qin Jiang in utter disbelief—he had indeed underestimated the man personally chosen by the Young Mistress Yan!

Then again, how could a man who caught the Young Mistress’s eye be ordinary?

“Qin Jiang, don’t be too smug yet. This is only the first round.”

Jiang Heng’s gaze swept over Qin Jiang, as if weighing and sizing him up to see what he was really worth.

But Qin Jiang’s demeanor… aside from being a bit steadier, was basically that of an ordinary sophomore.

Young Mistress Qi saw this and her expression turned a little cold.

In this life, was she really inferior to Yan Liang in every way?

They were friends who also competed. Especially when results needed to be compared, she wouldn’t give up easily.

But every time—almost every time!

Yan Liang had never lost.

Now even after finding new men, she still hadn’t given her an opening.

Thinking it over, aside from that Yan family curse that the women won’t live past 25, the Young Mistress always took first place in everything else.

“Oh, really?”

“You can’t even be proud after the first round and you’re already thinking of a comeback… You’re just a l-o-s-e-r!”

Qin Jiang didn’t hesitate to shoot back.

The Qin Jiang who prized harmony in his past life was dead—now he’d be as flashy as he liked.

He’d died once already.

So what if he showed off wildly?

“You… you’re a bit too arrogant!”

“You’re just a newbie.”

Jiang Heng’s face darkened. In reality he only dared to trade such words with Qin Jiang. Even with Young Mistress Qi backing him, he wouldn’t dare provoke Young Mistress Yan Liang—that woman was definitely a lunatic!

“Yeah, you’re a firearms pro, yet you can’t even beat a rookie like me… shame~ shame~shame on you~”

Qin Jiang still didn’t take the bait. Confidently, he dragged his hand across his cheek and struck a contemptuous pose.

Jiang Heng was appalled. You’re being a little obnoxious…

Qin Jiang didn’t care.

Young Mistress Qi raised an eyebrow, glanced at Jiang Heng’s embarrassed, annoyed face, and a faint smile flashed in her eyes. “Xiao Heng, don’t be such a sore loser.”

She carried herself with composure.

A loss was a loss; a win was a win.

After all, over the years playing games with Yan Liang, there were plenty of times she’d given her experience and equipment.

And in those moments, Young Mistress Qi always did so gladly.

Even if she couldn’t get it right, even if she lost and got scolded by the old nags at home so badly she couldn’t return to the old manor for a month.

Young Mistress Qi Yuan was always magnanimous, dutifully handing the lost chips over to Yan Liang every time.

Of course, precisely because Young Mistress Qi Yuan lost so often and never tired of it, she would rush to give equipment to Young Mistress Yan Liang.

For a while, the city was abuzz with rumors…

Young Mistress Qi Yuan rushing to lose? It was obvious she was just currying favor in front of Young Mistress Yan.

Of course, such rumors were rather subtle.

They hadn’t reached the person’s ears yet.

Qi Yuan might not know, but Jiang Heng was one of those who had heard that gossip.

Now, seeing Young Mistress Qi Yuan protecting Yan Liang like that.

It was clear the two were on opposing sides.

Given how much Young Mistress Qi Yuan doted on him… she shouldn’t… she shouldn’t be blaming herself for Yan Liang.

For a moment, Jiang Heng’s look toward Qin Jiang carried a few more shades.

Hmm… a little sympathy.

Qin Jiang was confused.

What*’s going on**, buddy?*

“Mm, I lost.”

*But *Qin Jiang, you didn’t win either!!

“Since the first round was fixed-target shooting, we’ll increase the difficulty for the second round—triple the distance. How about free-target shooting beyond three hundred meters?”

“Qin Jiang may be a rookie, but his skill surprised me. If he handled fixed targets so well, free targets should be no problem.”

“I happen to have a few interesting ‘live targets’ here. Without threatening their lives, Mr. Qin should still be able to shoot accurately, right?”

“If we’re going to play, we might as well play something thrilling…”

Young Mistress Qi Yuan waved her hand, and they saw the fixed targets nearby being dismantled.

Those blindfolded live targets were placed into an activity area three hundred meters away, cordoned off in advance by electric fencing.

And those ten kidnappers were the live targets, as expected.

When Yan Zuo was tossed over, he was numb.

“No way! You actually dared to kidnap me!!”

“Young Mistress Yan Liang is my sister, how dare you… how dare you… Brother-in-law save me~~“

Yan Zuo was embodying the phrase, “doing the right thing at the right time makes one a hero”~

As Yan Zuo screamed, he was spiritedly bound and sent into the live-target area, forced to wear a target-specific training suit…

Bullets couldn’t penetrate it, but… it still hurt!!

And it’s easy to wet yourself from fright~~

Soon, another familiar face was thrown in.

Yan Zuo poked closer out of curiosity, thinking the masked woman looked so familiar.

“Holy shit!! Bai Chuchu??”

“Bai Chuchu, how did you get caught too? Someone… someone… this Bai Chuchu is so cheap and available, how could she be placed in the same live-target area as me?”

“I’m not even in the same league as her.”

Yan Liang rubbed her forehead. This boy was so annoying!

Too noisy.

“Shut his mouth.”

“As for Bai Chuchu… as a live target, she doesn’t have any distinctive features to make aiming interesting, huh.”

“Why not… shave her head bald so Jiang can aim more accurately.“

Yan Liang hadn’t expected that Young Mistress Qi Yuan had tracked down Bai Chuchu and deliberately dragged her over.

This was clearly intended to throw Qin Jiang off his stride.

After all, whether in the past or now, everyone saw Bai Chuchu as the white whale in Qin Jiang’s heart.

Now with Qin Jiang’s white whale mixed into the live-target area, he’d inevitably be distracted.

Qi Yuan was playing a psychological round this time.

Unfortunately, Yan Liang currently had no desire to torture Bai Chuchu to death.

From beginning to end, she only wanted to tightly control her stance toward Qin Jiang.

Her opponent was never a specific woman.

It was Qin Jiang’s affection.

She could never tolerate Qin Jiang’s feelings being placed on someone else.

“Fine, as long as Yanyan wants to do that, I’ll do whatever she wants.”

Qin Jiang’s response was equally brisk.

For a moment, the scheming Young Mistress Qi Yuan looked like a clown.

But, so what?

She still had better cards up her sleeve.

“Someone, throw in another live target!”

Young Mistress Qi Yuan’s face soured, her calm tone betrayed that she was teetering on the edge of losing patience.

Qin Jiang looked up as the Qin family’s fifth sister, Qin Qianyun, was thrown into the shooting range wearing a professional live-target suit.

“Jiang… Jiang… you don’t need to worry about me. I did all of this willingly for you.”

“Just focus on shooting, don’t treat me like your fifth sister—being able to give back to you… is my blessing as your fifth sister…”

Qin Jiang rubbed his forehead. He really no longer regarded Qin Qianyun as his fifth sister.

It’s just that she was far too persistent and haunting!

It made Qin Jiang involuntarily irritated.

Qi Yuan finally spotted another expression on Qin Jiang’s face. And so, thinking she’d grasped his emotions, she pressed the advantage with a smile, waved her hand, and had another familiar live target brought in.

“Bi… big Sister?”

This was Qin Qianyun’s first time seeing Qin Moyun since Qin Jiang was kidnapped.

Qin Moyun’s face looked nasty. Upon seeing Qin Jiang standing on the main shooting platform, her eyes instinctively dropped with a guilty look.

“Big Sister, when Jiang was kidnapped, didn’t you promise you’d call the police?”

“Why, why did I wait so long and no police came to rescue Jiang and me?”
