Chapter 239 Sniper
Chapter 239 Sniper
The silence of the forest was shattered by two sharp gunshots.
Qi Yuxuan quickly looked up toward the direction of the gunshot and saw a sniper aiming at them from the treetop.
"Quickly open!"
Qi Yuxuan shouted and shoved Qiu Langyu away, then quickly dodged.
The bullets grazed their ears and struck a tree trunk not far away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Another burst of gunfire rang out, bullets raining down on them.
However, Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu had already taken cover, and their bullets had all been fired.
Just when they thought they were safe for the time being, a burst of gunfire came from behind them.
Clearly, the enemy had surrounded them and formed a crossfire.
Faced with the sudden attack, Qi Yuxuan calmly analyzed the situation.
He quickly picked up two stones from the ground and threw them at the sniper in the treetop.
The pebble struck the sniper squarely in the face, causing him to lose his balance and fall from the tree.
"Come on!"
Qi Yuxuan whispered to Qiu Langyu, and the two immediately chased after the sniper.
As they approached the sniper, they found that he was wounded and was trying to stand up, but it was very difficult for him.
A flicker of despair crossed the sniper's eyes as he saw them approaching.
So he picked up the high-precision tactical rifle and pulled the trigger backwards towards himself.
With a muffled gunshot, the sniper fell to the ground, his blood staining the surrounding grass.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu stopped and watched this scene.
Qi Yuxuan crouched down and checked the sniper's identity.
"It seems these are Black Third Master's men."
Qi Yuxuan said in a low voice, "He would rather commit suicide than be caught by us."
Qiu Langyu nodded:
"This shows that Master Hei's power is indeed strong, even to the point that people are so loyal to him."
Just when they thought they were safe for the time being, another burst of gunfire rang out behind them.
Clearly, they had been surrounded and were now under crossfire.
The two quickly took cover behind a tree, but bullets came flying in thick and fast, making the trees crackle and pop.
Faced with increasingly close gunfire and a dense barrage of bullets.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu realized that this was not a place to stay for long and they had to leave as soon as possible, or their lives would be in danger.
In the critical moment, suddenly, a voice rang out:
"Boss, get in the car quickly!"
Qi Yuxuan recognized Xiao Zhuang's voice.
As the car wheels screeched and sped along, Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu exchanged a knowing glance.
They flipped over repeatedly and ran at top speed to the car, quickly opened the door and got in.
Xiao Zhuang stepped on the gas, and the car sped towards the exit of the woods.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of gunfire erupted behind me, bullets striking the car with sharp sounds.
As the car drove further away, the gunshots gradually faded away.
Inside the car, Qi Yuxuan wiped away his sweat and said, panting:
"Qiu Langyu, it's all your fault. Why did you have to come to the woods and invite trouble? You used to be so steady, what happened to you?"
Qiu Langyu smiled somewhat helplessly:
"I had no idea it would turn out like this. It seems our era is outdated. Now everyone's into gunfights."
Xiao Zhuang glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror and interjected:
"No matter what, the most important thing now is to get out safely. Black Third Master's men won't let us off easily, so we have to be careful."
Qi Yuxuan nodded:
“That’s right, I’ll call Wen Qingrou right now and see how to resolve this.”
"You, Qi Yuxuan, how many women have you been seeing behind Ziyue's back?" Qiu Langyu said angrily.
“Hey, brother-in-law, are you out of your mind? I just made a phone call to the police, and you’re acting crazy. Can you stop making a scene?” Qi Yuxuan said.
Qiu Langyu glared at Qi Yuxuan: "Go ahead and hit me, let's see what happens then?"
After receiving a call from Qi Yuxuan in City A, Wen Qingrou immediately contacted the police station in City Z.
Soon, police from Z City arrived at the scene in the woods.
However, to the police's surprise, the scene was deathly silent.
The bodies of the sniper and the twin butterflies had vanished, and the thugs who had fallen to the ground could not be found either.
The bloodstains on the ground seemed to have been wiped away by some force.
The bullet marks on the tree bark are the only evidence that a fierce gunfight did indeed take place here.
The police officers looked at each other, filled with doubt.
They searched the entire forest thoroughly, even using police dogs, but still found nothing.
Only silence and a few bullet holes testify to what once happened here.
The police officers were constantly on the move, knowing full well that this was no ordinary incident.
The disappearance of the snipers and thugs was clearly meticulously planned.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu were called to the police station, where they gave a detailed account of what happened before leaving.
Z City police immediately convened their team members to analyze the current situation in detail.
They all agreed that Black Third Master would not give up easily and was likely to take further action.
"Fortunately, those who saw Qiu Langyu and Qi Yuxuan at the scene are probably all dead, so Qiu Langyu and Qi Yuxuan are safe for the time being."
The Z City Police Chief said.
"Next, we need to strengthen intelligence gathering to understand the movements of 'Black Third Master.' Once we find evidence, we can carry out an arrest operation. At the same time, we need to be prepared to deal with emergencies and ensure the safety of everyone."
Night falls, and Z City is ablaze with lights.
After a thrilling escape, Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu were finally temporarily out of danger.
They decided to find a quiet place to relax and calm down after what had just happened.
"I know a nice restaurant nearby, it's quite secluded."
Qiu Langyu said, "We can go there to eat something, have some drinks, and talk about our plans."
Qi Yuxuan nodded:
"Good idea, I'm hungry too. And we really need to calm down and think things through."
The two took Xiao Zhuang to a restaurant called "Old Street Snacks".
This restaurant is located in a quiet alley. The interior is simply yet cozy, with a few wooden tables and chairs arranged in an orderly manner.
The boss is a man in his sixties who always has a gentle smile on his face.
"What would you like to order, sirs?" the owner asked warmly.
Qi Yuxuan glanced at the menu and ordered several signature dishes:
"Give us a serving of braised pork, a steamed fish, and two bowls of rice. Also, give us two bottles of locally brewed rice wine."
Qiu Langyu added with a smile:
"Add another serving of stir-fried vegetables, it's been too oily lately."
The boss nodded and noted it down, then turned and went into the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
The food was served quickly, and its steaming aroma filled the air.
Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Langyu sat down and began to enjoy their meal.
"The braised pork is bright red and melts in your mouth; the steamed fish is tender and juicy, a perfect match with rice."
"This braised pork is really good. I haven't had such an authentic taste in a long time."
Qiu Langyu picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, praising it highly.
Qi Yuxuan, however, said:
"Who said that? Nothing tastes as good as my wife Ziyue's cooking. I haven't had her cooking in so long, I really, really want some. But this rice wine is good, mellow and sweet, just right to calm my nerves."
“Who said she’s your wife? She was before, but whether she will be in the future is still uncertain,” Qi Yuxuan said.
"Don't even think about it. We already have two children together, and you're still not giving up on her. You're really obsessed," Qi Yuxuan said.
Qiu Langyu sighed:
"What's wrong? A beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. Everyone has the right to pursue a wife, and besides, she and I grew up together."
…………
The two ate and drank rice wine, gradually relaxing.
Xiao Zhuang ate his meal in silence, not saying a word.
The alcohol made their faces slightly flushed and their moods much more relaxed.
"To be honest, that gunfight just now really scared me."
Qiu Langyu sighed.
"I didn't expect that Master Hei's men would be so ruthless, even using snipers."
Qi Yuxuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Qiu Langyu intently:
"This was indeed a very dangerous incident. Fortunately, everyone present is gone, otherwise we would have been in danger in the future."
Qiu Langyu nodded:
"That's right, be more careful in the future."
"Old Qiu, you have to pay for my car. It's all your fault. My car was perfectly fine, and now it's been punctured several times," Qi Yuxuan said angrily.
"Big star Qi, you're nowhere near as rich as me. I only get paid a small fee for a class, while you make a fortune from just one drama. You should fix your own car yourself."
Qiu Langyu retorted.
"Haha, isn't it great that we two rivals have come to the modern world? Brother Changming must be furious that he didn't come along," Qi Yuxuan laughed.
“Perhaps that was fate. Lu Yuanchangming had both good and bad fortune in ancient times. Perhaps this part of history cannot be changed,” Qiu Langyu sighed.
"Old Qiu, what's the explanation for this?" Qi Yuxuan asked, puzzled.
