Just as everything around them quieted down, Nan Yan, who had kept her eyes closed, decisively fired her gun.
A total of five bullets.
Almost within seconds, they were fired in succession.
Pop—
A sound of an exploding surprise egg was followed by cheerful and joyful music filling the hall.
Everyone was stunned.
“She cleared it?”
“Wow, she actually cleared it!”
“What a sharpshooter! This is incredible!”
Expressions of astonishment and admiration echoed all around.
As for the disruptive girl, she watched this scene with envy and resentment, then left the shooting range.
Once outside, she took out her phone and made a call…
“Miss, are you a sniper in the military?” the owner asked in disbelief.
Apart from the military, he believed that no one could pass the final challenge with such marksmanship.
Nan Yan put down her gun and let out a sigh.
It had been a long time since she had fired a gun, and she was feeling a bit out of practice. She had concentrated intensely for too long, making her feel somewhat exhausted.
“Not a sniper? How is that possible!”
Could an ordinary person really have such exceptional marksmanship?
He was certain it was impossible!
Even a sharpshooter needed training to reach this level.
However, this young girl was clearly not a professional.
Qin Lu noticed her furrowed brow but said nothing. Instead, he directly reached out and lightly massaged the sides of her temples.
Nan Yan’s body trembled slightly, but she found his touch quite comfortable, so she relaxed and enjoyed his service.
Two minutes later, she pressed his hand to stop, smiling, “Big brother, it’s enough, you don’t need to massage anymore.”
Qin Lu didn’t insist on continuing and withdrew his hand.
“There are still two rounds left. Mr. Boss, do you need to rearrange things for the next challenge?”
The owner shook his head and said, “No need for that. With your skills, you don’t need to play the remaining two rounds. I know you can do it. Feel free to take any items from the gift area. I promise you can take them all.”
Then, he lowered his voice, asking Nan Yan with a hint of mystery, “Young lady, do you have any interest in becoming a professional sniper?”
“No,” Nan Yan replied without hesitation.
“Why not? Being a sniper is so prestigious and awe-inspiring. If I had your skills, I would definitely join the military and serve the country!” the owner said enthusiastically.
Nan Yan also lowered her voice, whispering, “Mr. Boss, I prefer to focus on my studies now. Serving the country will be my way of contributing in the future.” The owner remained silent.
Nan Yan had no intention of taking fewer gifts even though there are 2 rounds left.
After selecting three gifts, she left an address for the owner to deliver them to her old mansion.
Afterall all three gifts were large and their car couldn’t accommodate them.
“Big brother, let’s go.”
After leaving the address, Nan Yan held Qin Lu’s hand as they walked out of the shooting range.
Once they were gone, the owner waved to the customers who had tried to “console” him, then took out his phone and went to the rest area.
As soon as he entered, he eagerly made a phone call.
“Old Fan, let me tell you, I’ve come across an exceptional sharpshooter! She’s an incredible talent! I heard your military unit is recruiting; you have to find a way to get this young girl in!”
In the military district, Fan Heping was sipping tea with a puzzled expression. “What are you talking about? A sharpshooter? A young girl? Do you think sharpshooters grow on trees?”
The owner, convinced that Fan didn’t believe him, snorted and said, “I’ll send you the video of her passing the challenge I set up for her. I’ve told you everything; it’s up to you to decide what to do!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone, retrieved the video of Nan Yan shooting from the surveillance footage, edited it, and sent it to Fan.
It didn’t take five minutes for Fan to call back.
“Who is that young girl? Do you have her contact information? Do you know where she lives? Tell me quickly! I want to invite her to join the military!”
The owner chuckled, “Now you believe me, right? Fortunately, I had some foresight and got her address and phone number earlier. I’ll send it to you.”
Next, Qin Lu took Nan Yan to play some brain-teasing games in the amusement park, including murder mystery games, Mafia, and escape room challenges.
They played until noon, and then they left the amusement park to have lunch at an outside restaurant.
Just as they had placed their food orders and the dishes were being served, Nan Yan’s phone on the table started ringing.
She glanced at the caller ID and answered the call directly.
“Grandpa, what’s up?
The elderly voice of Grandpa An came through, “We have a guest at home who wants to see you… Yanyan, if you’re not busy, can you come back?” “A guest?” Nan Yan was puzzled.
The guests Grandpa mentioned should not have been to the old mansion before.
“Who is it?”
Could it be Yun Jingshan?
However, if he had arranged the matters in the laboratory, he should have called her directly or sent a message to notify her.
“He didn’t tell me his name; he just wants to meet you. But judging from the clothes he’s wearing, he should be from the military district…”
As he spoke, Grandpa An also looked at Fan Heping.
Fan Heping sat upright, exuding an aura of righteousness. Even in civilian clothes, he couldn’t hide the presence of a seasoned military man.
From the military district…
Nan Yan thought of the owner of the shooting range.
She had made a mistake.
Who would have thought that the owner of a shooting range could have connections with the military district? “Alright, I’ll be back right away.” Nan Yan responded and looked at Qin Lu.
“Brother…”
Qin Lu didn’t wait for her to finish and stood up.
“I’ll come with you.”
The dishes were already served on the table, but neither of them had taken a bite. Qin Lu settled the bill, and the two of them headed straight back to the old mansion.
Outside the old mansion, there was a car with a special license plate.
Seeing the starting numbers on the license plate, Nan Yan’s speculation became clearer.
Unfastening her seatbelt, Nan Yan turned to look at Qin Lu, who was also unfastening his seatbelt, and raised an eyebrow.
“Brother, are you coming in with me?”
Qin Lu smiled somewhat nostalgically, “Yes, big brother doesn’t want you to be kidnapped.”
Kidnapped?
Who could possibly kidnap her?
Nan Yan thought to herself, could it be that Qin Lu knew the person sitting inside the old mansion, waiting for her return?
Since Qin Lu wanted to go in and meet the visitor together, Nan Yan naturally held his hand.
The two of them entered calmly.
Seated on the sofa and engaged in conversation, both of them turned their heads towards the entrance.
“Yanyan, Ah Lu, you’re back,” Grandpa An greeted them with a smile. “Yanyan, come over here. Mr. Fan would like to meet you.”
After Nan Yan and Qin Lu entered, the first person Mr. Fan saw was Qin Lu.
Upon seeing Qin Lu, his expression underwent a slight change.
As Fan Heping looked at him, Qin Lu greeted him casually, “Captain Fan, long time no see.”
Fan Heping’s eyes widened, “Qin Lu, you little guy, you’ve come to Jin City, and you haven’t contacted me all this time?”
“It’s not that I didn’t want to,” Qin Lu calmly told a lie, “I just haven’t had the time. I was actually planning to look for you after things settled down.”
“I don’t believe a word of that, you rascal!”
