The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 1178: Chapter 367:

In the eyes of experts, weapons can reveal many things, including combat effectiveness. The same applies to handguns—different types, styles, and models of handguns have various performances targeting different users. Different users reflect a certain level of combat effectiveness. For instance, anyone wielding a Desert Eagle is definitely not an ordinary police officer; apart from regulations prohibiting its use, ordinary officers would struggle to handle the heavy, high-recoil, large-caliber Desert Eagle efficiently.

Assassins’ guns are often modified by specialists tailored to individual styles. Hence, even if one has extensive knowledge, it might be hard to deduce the owner from a modified gun. But with familiarity with guns and sharp professional instincts, one can still gauge the opponent’s level of proficiency.

Li Yan, already sensing Hu Yingxiong’s intense killing intent, assessed that the likelihood was quite high. Even if they wished to test his skills further and found he wasn’t their match, they would kill ruthlessly!—After all, they came to Chong City for a killing spree, so there’s no harm in eliminating one more hindrance. Assassins wouldn’t be stingy with the cost of bullets!

Having perceived this, Li Yan had figured out a plan. There were two others in the room—Duan Haibo, who might be battle-hardened and has survived amidst gunfire on the battlefield; yet their mercenary warfare relied on overall team strength. They’d study maps and terrains, orchestrate different tactics based on environments, sport quality bulletproof vests, have comrades’ assistance, and even employ snipers for cover... This is quite different from directly confronting enemies in a confined space; he might not adapt well.

Even if Duan Haibo could react, it’s likely he’d only protect himself. Zheng Tian is already an old man, hard pressed to evade. If by any chance a bullet hits him... If this happened before his eyes, Li Yan felt he wouldn’t have the face to meet Nian Yufei, whom he held in deep respect.

"When playing with guns, being fast by even 0.1 seconds is enough to kill the opponent first... this makes sense, but..." Li Yan slowly repeated Hu Yingxiong’s words, "...killing doesn’t necessarily require a gun!"

Killing doesn’t necessarily require a gun!

But using a gun would definitely be more convenient and faster.

Jackman almost burst out laughing, thinking Li Yan’s words were very... he didn’t know how to express it in international language, but in Yun Country’s words, it’s quite pretentious!

Hu Yingxiong also laughed, killing doesn’t necessarily require a gun? Who doesn’t know this? Trying to feign profundity and bluff under our gun muzzle? Looks like... neither of you are ready with guns at all!

His smile stretched, carefree and exuberant. He had secretly analyzed Li Yan’s situation earlier; although Zheng Tian hadn’t divulged much, it was conceivable that Li Yan surely had people in Chong City first. Besides extracting Park Changnan, there would be logistical support like firearms provided for him.

Ancient warfare advocated "troops and horses yet to move, supply provisions coming first." In today’s society, technological methods are increasingly standard, and assassins cannot cross borders with firearms. Therefore, having someone arrive ahead of time to prepare weapons locally is one of the common strategies.

From Li Yan’s seemingly pretentious, masterful words, he felt he had discerned Li Yan’s true capabilities, thus, harboring no more worries—

At this moment, Hu Yingxiong’s exuberant smile hadn’t faded before he and Jackman sensed a blur before their eyes, then discovered Li Yan had already reached their front!

Their reaction was swift, instantly reaching for their guns!

In fact, they were prepared; after setting down the guns earlier, their hands had maintained a poised stance ready for action, now executing extraordinarily quick maneuvers to snatch the guns from the table.

But only Hu Yingxiong grabbed his gun, while Jackman’s fingers clawed heavily against the table, emitting a dull sound. Although the gun was on the table, when he looked, it was gone!

Hu Yingxiong held his gun, regretfully feeling confident to aim—but paused abruptly when nearly few degrees away from targeting. ——Li Yan was now holding a gun, already unlocked, aimed directly at his forehead.

Drawing, aiming, firing... As long as these actions are faster than the opponent’s, there’s undoubtedly a greater chance of killing the adversary.

Now, Li Yan’s drawing and aiming were faster; just aiming left... But Hu Yingxiong wasn’t discouraged, for it was an ambush! Li Yan had ambushed him without warning!

At this point, Duan Haibo and Zheng Tian both shifted their gaze over, both indeed—yes, even Duan Haibo astonished, watching the scene unfold with eyes wide and mouths agape.

"You ambushed!"

"Do you always kill in honorable duels?" Li Yan mocked.

"..." Hu Yingxiong was speechless, as assassins prefer killing in stealth rather than engaging in open duels—how could one consider dueling honorably?

But just after finishing speaking, he felt a cool sensation at his throat, seemingly with something gushing out.

When Jackman discovered his gun vanished, he realized it was snatched by Li Yan; attempting to reclaim it, seeing Li Yan’s muzzle aimed at Hu Yingxiong, afraid he’d fire directly, he could only stop. As he followed the gaze, witnessing an even more shocking scene—

Blood was seeping from Hu Yingxiong’s throat, as a bloodstain appeared!

Just now, as Hu Yingxiong loudly accused ’You ambushed,’ it agitated his throat, causing more and faster bleeding, explaining why he felt the cold.

A wise man adapts! Hu Yingxiong is a ’hero,’ but even he accepts immediate losses, acknowledging the opponent’s superior killing technique.

He glanced around swiftly, finally—not much time had actually elapsed—noticed everyone’s gaze was peculiar, promptly felt a sting in his throat.

Reaching to touch, his hand was drenched in blood! (To be continued, to find out what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com, more Chapters support authors and support legitimate reading!)
