Chapter 336: Straightforward and Upright Man

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Qin Fen enjoyed watching the twenty-two troublesome young police. They were not hypocritical and not pretentious; they judged the situation and made a decision immediately.

Wu Hui used his finger and prodded the heavy lead suit that fell on the ground. He found that this seemingly soft suit was actually still very sturdy because of its weight.

“This thing should be stronger than the bullet-proof vests in our bureau.” Wu Hui rubbed his chin and admired it with an old pedant look.

Everyone watched as Qin Fen put on the heavy lead suit back on his body once again, shaken. Just now Wu Hui went and lifted it, the weight was really shocking. How did it look like it was as light as a goose’s feather the moment it was in the hands of the captain?

Four thousand catty of heavy lead suit was put back on the body. Qin Fen looked up at Yu Xiao, “Shall we compete in shooting?”

“Okay!” Yu Xiao’s raised his eyebrows as a confident smile at the corner of his lips, “When competing in marksmanship, it’s not about strength.”

Qin Fen smiled and did not retort. If the Thunderstorm was counted as a firearm, it could be said that it would be a competition of strength, since it was a super monster that swept everything.

“Old Yu, you must win.”

“Old Yu, we have just lost one round, we must not lose again.”

The troublesome policemen shouted as they walked out of the martial dao room. The two blocks of people in the office were looking down curiously from their window. Why do these troublesome policemen look like they are on very good terms with this new captain? Yu Xiao wants to compete? What? Compete in marksmanship?

“All of you can be at ease.” Yu Xiao and Lin Feng had their arms around each other and shouted, “Have you ever seen me lose with a gun? That a case last time where a kidnapper was armed and holding a gun, who was the one that landed a headshot? Buddy, it’s me! The distance of eight hundred meters! One shot in between the eyebrows!”

A series of self-confident shouts immediately attracted the attention of the policemen from the two buildings and also brought everyone back to that day during the sniping.

The kidnapper at that time was tied with explosives while holding an antique 54 caliber pistol in his hand and used a big fat man as a bunker in front of him. There was almost no chance of sniping. Yu Xiao had forced himself to squat for half an hour and managed to catch an opportunity that knocked down the kidnapper.

The little Gun King is going to compete shooting with the new captain? People peeped out of the window curiously and listened carefully to the conversations of the crowd to determine their guess.

“Captain.” Lin Feng turned to look at Qin Fen, “Later, if Yu Xiao beats your scores, it’ll be a tie, what should we do?”

“Then considered it as I lost.”

…

The lively crowd became quiet. The police officers who peeped out from the two buildings looked at Qin Fen as though they were looking at a monster. This captain really didn’t know the limits of the sky. Although these troublesome policemen were difficult to manage, with Yu Xiao’s marksmanship, he had the title of little Gun King.

Yu Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Qin Fen. Baffled, he said, “Captain, I will tell you the truth. My uncle said with just my marksmanship, I could get the qualifications of an ace shooter immediately upon entering the military.”

Qin Fen smiled, “Ace shooter, I’ll just simply play around.”

In the quiet courtyard, Qin Fen’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear him clearly.

Ace shooter playing around? Yu Xiao could not help but smile, “Captain, this joke is not funny at all.”

Everyone in the two office buildings retracted their heads and checked their work at hand quickly. Several police officers who got off work grabbed their jackets excitedly and ran outside. The little Gun King was going to compete with someone again today. And obviously, that sentence earlier had agitated the little Gun King, he should perform well today.

The shooting hall in the police station was not big. The people who usually come here were scarce, but today was unexpectedly a full house.

“Captain.” Yu Xiao stood in front of the design desk, “I hope I can confirm one last time that your shooting level is really strong?”

Qin Fen frowned. If he neglected the skill of modifying the gun, even if he had to fight against Gun King, it shouldn’t be considered weak.

“Yes.” Qin Fen thought about it seriously and then added, “My master once said that if you don’t count the strength of martial dao, it’s easy to say that I should be able to rank in the top fifty easily in the Federation. ”

The top fifty? Yu Xiao’s cheek muscles twitched non-stop, the top fifty of the entire federation? What kind of joke is this! It would be hard to say for me to even make it into East Asia’s top fifty and this new captain said that he could be the top fifty of the entire Federation? With such strength, how could it be possible that he was placed in the small Tianbei City as the deputy bureau chief and serve as the deputy captain? Wouldn’t the army treat him like a precious baby?

With this level, it was a level that could assassinate a terrorist leader!

The crowd was in a clamor, the top fifty in the federation? A group of people shook their heads repeatedly. This talk is too big! If you say that you are the top fifty of Zhongzhou, maybe some people would believe it. But the top fifty in the Federation the moment he opened his mouth?

Wu Hui chuckled and said, “Old Yu, let’s get rid of the captain so that you can also claim that you are the top fifty in the federation!”

The words attracted the hoots of laughter of everyone. This new deputy captain was trying to suppress his men. Even at this moment, he still wants to talk big to distract the mood of his men. This method was indeed a bit clumsy.

“Since you are the top fifty in the federation…” Yu Xiao smiled with a sneer, “Well then, why don’t you set the mode of the competition, captain?”

Qin Fen looked at Yu Xiao’s hardened skin between the thumb and forefinger. This move suddenly caused Yu Xiao’s smile to be full of pride. These calluses were a gunman’s silent medal!

“Whether it is an automatic target or a moving target, your standard is good.” Qin Fen’s finger tapped the shooting platform, “It’s still up to you, choose the mode you think is the most advantageous for you to compete in.”

Yu Xiao’s face that was either sneering or smiling pridefully finally twisted up in questions and doubts. Is this person arrogant and ignorant? He still thinks that by acting out this vigor, it’d affect the mood of an ace shooter?

“That’s good!” Yu Xiao said without declining, “We will dismantle the guns, reassemble the guns, and shoot them together. Whoever can completely dismantle and reassemble the gun in the shortest amount of time then shoot the most accurately will be the winner.”

Qin Fen nodded and the rules of the game were officially set.

In order to be fair, each of them could pick the pistol of their liking from the existing guns in the police station.

Yu Xiao pointed at Qin Fen, “Whatever our captain uses, I will use.”

“hk45c.”

Qin Fen stated the gun he had used on his missions calmly. Yu Xiao’s eyes lit up.  He has good taste.

Two hk45c appeared in front of the two, and Qin Fen nodded to show that he was ready. Yu Xiao loosened his shoulders and said that he was fully prepared.

Yu Xiao had not participated in this kind of competition just once or twice. He had never lost. Until today, the best record of the pistol shooting competition in the northern city was upheld by him.

The fastest dismantle, the fastest assembly, the fastest and the most accurate shot! The four major records were all upheld by Yu Xiao!

Several civilians looked at Qin Fen with a smile. They wondered if this young captain would feel that Yu Xiao was too strong after he saw Yu Xiao’s marksmanship and lose face, immediately resigning from his position as captain?

Some people were nodding, it seems that the troublesome policemen planned to use their real strength today to humiliate their captain so that he would shrink back from the situation!

Yu Xiao evaluated Qin Fen from the corner of his eyes. There was not even a hint of impatience found in this person. He was like a big mountain that wouldn’t move. Where did his confidence come from? There are no traces of hardened skin between the thumb and forefinger! Did he purposely make it complicated? Then, when he loses, wouldn’t he feel that he has lost face?

“Ready…” Temporary referee Wu Hui dragged his long voice and waved his hand, “Begin!”

Didi…

Several stopwatches shifted numbers quickly at this moment. Yu Xiao took the gun in one hand and the other hand moved quickly across the gun. The light of the after-image reminded his nickname once again, Swift Hand Yu Xiao!

People barely noticed when Qin Fen picked up the gun. People preferred to watch Yu Xiao, who could dismantle a gun like a form of art.

Huala…

Qin Fen’s wrist flicked and the hk45c instantly became a pile of parts.

Several of the troublesome policemen had been curious and wanted to see the true strength of Qin Fen. When they saw this their eyes widened. This! what is this? Why couldn’t I see how he dismantled the gun? How is the gun already scattered?

The parts were still falling from the air onto the table where the firearm was placed, and the other hand of Qin Fen moved! The two hands reassemble the parts in a state where they could be easily seen by the naked eye.

The whole process was extremely short! It was so short that the parts didn’t even fall on the table yet. They fell apart and were reassembled perfectly in midair!

All these were as if Qin Fen had loosened his hand, and the gun felt toward the table where the firearm was placed. Qin Fen then reached out his hand and caught the complete gun midair.

The extremely stable hands made everyone feel that the ultra-high-speed hands were very slow.

Yu Xiao’s gun had not yet been dismantled completely when he heard the sound of Qin Fen shooting next to him.

How could it be? Did the gun go off accidentally? Yu Xiao looked up and saw the target in the distance fall down! If it went off accidentally, it would not be possible to hit the target.

Was he cheating? Yu Xiao turned to look at the referee. At the same time, he heard nine gunshots from Qin Fen and nine targets fell in the distance.

Qin Fen finished shooting? Yu Xiao looked at the referee with a look to seek confirmation. He wanted to hear the referee say, “Qin Fen cheated and shot without disassembling the gun.”

However, Yu Xiao saw the referee’s eyes which were just staring at Qin Fen, filled with the phrase, “How was it possible?”

Several troublesome policemen who watched Qin Fen dismantle and reassemble the gun and shoot felt that their eyeballs were about to fall out from their eye sockets. The little Gun King of the city of Tianbei was defeated. He was only a baby at most in front of the captain.

Finished? Many people who didn’t see Qin Fen assembled his gun were very curious and stared at Qin Fen who put down the gun. Was this person cheating? He didn’t dismantle and reassemble the gun, did he?

Qin Fen leaned back and looked at Yu Xiao’s hand holding the partly dismantled gun. He nodded slightly and said, “Yes, it was almost as fast as I estimated.”

Estimated? Yu Xiao shook his head hard. He said to the referee again, “I hope to see a recording of the competition.”

An electronic projection screen pops up on the shooting range, which was a recorded scene when Qin Fen dismantled and reassembled his gun.

“God…”

“How did he do it?”

” A flick of the wrist and the gun fell apart?”

The exclamations came one after another and everyone looked at Qin Fen unbelievably.

Yu Xiao stared blankly at the screen and he swallowed. He nodded slowly and said, “He is extremely skillful…”

After a while, Yu Xiao stabled his spirit and said, “Captain, can we go one more round…”

Boom!

Yu Xiao had yet to finish his sentence when Qin Fen’s gun sounded and the target in the far distance did not fall to the ground.

Most of the policemen laughed, this shot lost its standard and missed the target.

Yu Xiao did not speak. He stared at Qin Fen for two seconds, then he suddenly jumped into the shooting range just like the agile and quick monkey in the mountains to rush to the position of the target.

“This…”

Yu Xiao was staring blankly at the back of the target, there was a bullet mark! If you compared it to the target in front, the latter bullet was still in the critical position of the target.

A curve shot? Yu Xiao rubbed his eyes hard and widened his eyes, the bullet marks still existed.

Curve shot! Curve shot! Yu Xiao trembled and his neck felt like it was transplanted with a steel drill. He turned his neck and looked at Qin Fen, “This…”

Boom!

Another gunshot sounded again!

Yu Xiao only felt a trajectory cross not far from his skull and into the wall behind him. He turned around again.

Curve shot! Another curve shot! Yu Xiao was staring at the wall behind his head, which was the position corresponding between his own eyebrows.

When did he shoot? Yu Xiao suddenly thought of another question. When the captain fired the gun, there was no sign at all! The great self-confidence covered the intention of shooting completely!

“Captain, what do you want to do?” A civilian policeman shouted loudly, “Even if he did not heed to the command, you can’t shoot him! It will take someone’s life!”

“Yes! This is too much.”

“Everyone, don’t blame the captain…” Yu Xiao, dazed, walked back to the front of the stage, “He is not what you think he is… I lost… I lost with no complaints.”

Yu Xiao admitted defeat? He didn’t give up during the two shots at the targets earlier. How did the off-target shot make him admit defeat? No one could understand Yu Xiao, was he scared by the last shot?

“Hu…” Yu Xiao sighed and looked up at Qin Fen and asked, “Captain, are you really the federation’s top fifty?”

“I don’t know.” Qin Fen shook his head, “I never played against those people, but my drill instructor said that I could enter the top fifty, maybe even the top ten…”

Top ten! Yu Xiao looked at Qin Fen in a daze, the first fifty and the top ten were two completely different concepts! A gunman who could enter the top ten would be the peak in this world of shooting!

“I see, hehe…” Yu Xiao sighed, “So, I lost without losses.”

Qin Fen pointed to the target in the far distance, “Can you shoot once for me to see?”

Yu Xiao smiled bitterly, “Is this necessary? I’m just showing my lesser skills in front of an expert if I shoot.”

“I want to see.” Qin Fen stared at Yu Xiao, “We gambled that you have to listen to my orders unconditionally within seven days.”

Yu Xiao took deep breaths into his lungs and his eyes burst into the essence of a gunman once again. As a gunman, he could admit defeat, but he also needed to show his hard-trained marksmanship.

Raise your hand and shoot… not accurate!

The gun target fell down!

Yu Xiao’s eyes evoked a faint satisfaction. Under such an atmosphere, he shot an unprecedented shot. This shot had its usual results, but if it was in a real battle, it will be easy to kill his old self.

Qin Fen nodded and his hand touched his chin. He asked casually, “Are you interested in learning a curve shot?”

“What!?”

The quiet Yu Xiao screamed with a weird voice. His eyes glared passionately at Qin Fen, and his hands were trembling.

Curve shot! It’s almost the apex-level of shooting! It was not just based on hard training and practice, it required talent and the guidance of a teacher. You can’t do it without either!

Yu Xiao once dreamed of learning curve shots in the past, but he had never seen anyone that really knew how.

“You… you…” Yu Xiao looked at Qin Fen unbelievably and stuttered, “You… you…”

Yu Xiao, who could usually speak eloquently, said four “you”s in a row. He could not manage to say a whole sentence.

“You have the talent.” Qin Fen nodded. “There is a chance to learn.”

“You… are you really willing to teach me?” Yu Xiao finally straightened his tongue and said, “How much is the tuition fee? I’ll pay it!”

“Tuition?” Qin Fen shook his head. “Even if I’m not considered rich, I don’t plan on collecting a fee to teach you.”

“Why?”

Yu Xiao couldn’t understand as looked at Qin Fen. Many things these days could not be bought even with money. For example, this curve shot was almost impossible to buy.

For a gunman, the curve shot was the ancient apex-level of martial arts. One could yearn it in their dreams as if it only existed in mythologies.

“Because your eyes are very clean.” Qin Fen said, “Although inferior, your nature is not bad. When you lost, you admitted defeat like a man. You do things openly and I like it.”

Wu Hui’s eyes flashed brightly, Lin Feng’s eyes also flashed brightly. All the troublesome recruits’ eyes were flashing brightly.

Yu Xiao stared at Qin Fen’s eyes. His lips open slowly and a series of laughter came out.

It had been a long time, a long time! No one praised the people of the special security detachment!

There had been leaders who had also made praises, but the praises were not true and most of them were hypocritical shows of affection.

The environment in which the troublesome policemen lived in since they were young allowed them to distinguish that instinctively: whether what the other party said was true or false.

Since entering this police station, the young police officers of the special security detachment had never heard anyone praise them with sincerity.

No one thought of that today! This captain, the deputy supporter of the special security detachment who had just entered the police station, suddenly gave words of praise. There was no falsehood in it, it was full of sincerity.

The twenty-one troublesome policemen also laughed. Although they had lost to this new captain today, it seemed that this captain was really interesting. He was sincere and not a hypocrite!

Although he wasn’t praised, Wu Hui was still very happy. At least his brother Yu Xiao was praised sincerely! And it was praised by a gun master! This was also their glory!

The other police officers couldn’t understand Qin Fen. These troublemakers that often annoy the commanding officer were true men? Isn’t this too much boot-licking?
