A Chance Encounter with a New Gun-Toting Heroine at the Shooting Range!

"Ring, ring!"

Su Bai frowned. Somewhat speechlessly, he reached out, grabbed his phone, and glanced at it. His eyes immediately narrowed. Well, well—the Carefree Sect's vice sect master, that brat Zhang Tianci!

Taking a closer look, it was only eight o'clock.

Su Bai: ???

Was this guy forcing him to attend an eight a.m. class? But wasn't an eight a.m. supposed to be an early morning bus?

Though he grumbled inwardly, Su Bai still answered the call. In an instant, Zhang Tianci's excited, ape-like howl resounded through the room. "Brother Su, get up already! I can't wait to go shoot some guns!"

Shoot guns?

Just as Su Bai was about to go back to sleep, he remembered that he seemed to have told Tianci before bed that they would visit a shooting range tomorrow and experience the king of all weapons...

"Uh... alright!"

Realizing it was apparently his own fault, Su Bai took a deep breath, abruptly opened his eyes, and replied in a low voice, "Come to my place and pick me up!"

He then hung up. After stretching lazily and working his limbs a little, he immediately spun off the bed in a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree Thomas flare...

After washing up and fixing up his devastatingly handsome face, Su Bai flashed a brilliant smile and went downstairs for breakfast. A simple bowl of bird's nest soup and a basket of crab roe soup dumplings left him feeling thoroughly content.

"Young Master, we have identified the old man who spoke with Xiao Fan last night." Just as Su Bai narrowed his eyes and rested while waiting for Zhang Tianci to arrive, Uncle Wang slowly approached with a grave expression. He bowed slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Who?"

Seeing this, Su Bai frowned as well. He straightened up and turned to ask, while a document was already handed to him.

As expected of an old grandpa and the protagonist's cheat. One look at this background, and it was obvious he was no simple man!

As Su Bai thought to himself, he solemnly flipped through the document before him. Line after line of information entered his sight, making his eyelids twitch uncontrollably...

"Xie Tiancheng, born in Suzhou. He was once jilted in his youth, then rose to prominence in the eighties. After enduring countless hardships, he founded Jiangnan Tiancheng Investment Company and became its chairman, eventually becoming a renowned domestic investor."

"A few years ago, he developed ankylosing spondylitis, an incurable disease, and suffered greatly. He returned to his hometown and is currently recuperating at the private Nine Dragons Hospital."

Uncle Wang, the butler, explained softly. Then a sharp glint flashed through his weathered eyes as he added coldly, "According to the information from over there, Xie Tiancheng and Xiao Fan hit it off immediately!"

The Su Household did not care about a simple Xiao Fan!

But if he managed to attach himself to Xie Tiancheng, Jiangnan's richest man, that would become troublesome!

"Heh..."

Upon hearing that, Su Bai gave a cold, contemptuous laugh. This was practically Great Xiao Yan meeting Little Xiao Yan—the protagonists had joined forces!

Damn, this was fucking absurd!

After silently cursing, Su Bai handed the document back to Uncle Wang. "Keep watching them. Also monitor Jiangnan Tiancheng Investment Company. I want to know their every move!"

Damn it, was the old protagonist unwilling to fade into obscurity and preparing to return to the scene? Fine. When the time came, he could take him out too!

Uncle Wang immediately nodded. Just as he was about to leave, a reckless figure in black charged in from outside the villa as though he owned the place, waving both hands and shouting excitedly.

"Brother Su, I'm here! Where's my cool and dashing little sister Ruo Xue? Why isn't she up yet? The sun's practically roasting her ass already!"

It was Zhang Tianci, eager to go play with guns. Yet compared to getting laid, what this brat cared about more was clearly little sister Ruo Xue. His small eyes scanned the surroundings like radar.

When he did not see little sister Ruo Xue, his excitement instantly collapsed. With a dejected expression, he raised his head slightly and looked at Su Bai, saying pitifully, "Brother Su, you knew I was coming, but you still didn't have little sister Ruo Xue come out to welcome me?!"

As he spoke, he kept pounding his chest with both hands as though he had suffered some tremendous injustice, making Su Bai roll his eyes helplessly.

This brat was just asking for it. Skip one beating, and he would be climbing onto the roof to tear off tiles.

Still, the arrival of this villainous lackey eased Su Bai's worries somewhat. A teasing thought surfaced in his mind. Turning around, he pointed toward Su Ruoxue's room upstairs, stepped aside, and invited Zhang Tianci to walk right into the trap...

"My sister is with Bai Yun—the beauty who sent Xiao Fan to the hospital with one slap. If you don't mind, you can go say hello."

What?!

Hearing there was a woman even fiercer than his own sister, Zhang Tianci's legs instantly went weak, and he nearly collapsed. Fortunately, he grabbed onto Su Bai and said in terrified urgency, "Quick, Brother Su! I think shooting guns is better. Let's go!"

You little punk, wasn't this enough to handle you?

Su Bai could not help but chuckle. He immediately led Zhang Tianci out in large strides. After getting into the car, they sped toward the shooting range, with bodyguards following closely behind...

Half an hour later, thanks to Zhang Tianci's turtle-speed driving.

They finally arrived at a private shooting club in the suburbs. Everything within a radius of ten miles belonged to the club's operating grounds. It could be considered one of the top shooting ranges in the entire Jiangnan Region.

The original owner had come here once or twice before, but only to pick up women. He had never even fired a machine gun and had no interest in such firearms.

After all, in the original owner's mind, with Qiao Guoan, the expensive personal bodyguard he had hired, by his side, why would he need to wield weapons himself?!

But things were different now. Having glimpsed some of this world's true nature, Su Bai felt that he needed to improve his ability to protect himself.

Otherwise, once the King of Soldiers appeared, he would lose his life!

"Brother Su, I knew you were a master strategist! How did you know a beauty would come here to shoot guns today? That's incredible!"

Just as Su Bai changed into his gear and prepared to personally try out the system reward, Zhang Tianci cried out behind him.

What the hell?

Where did a beauty come from? Weren't the people who came to shoot guns all rough old men?!

Just as Su Bai frowned and was about to tell Tianci not to make such a fuss, he realized there really was a beauty ahead.

With one glance, he saw that she looked heroic and dashing. She wore a tight T-shirt and jeans that perfectly outlined her figure, with distinct, eye-catching S-curves. Her glossy black hair was tied behind her head, revealing half of her delicate face...

Bang!

She held the pistol in one hand, her finger lightly resting on the trigger. A flash of fire burst forth, deafening noise erupted, and the bullet shot out with a whistle, striking the bullseye with precision...

Her entire body jolted slightly, immediately drawing the gazes of every lecherous man present. She unquestionably claimed the title of the venue's most beautiful woman.

"Holy shit! I'm in love!"

Zhang Tianci could not help crying out. His eyes burned with excitement as he eagerly prepared to go up and strike up a conversation.

Su Bai was speechless. Why did this brat fall for every woman he saw?!

[ Ding! The host has discovered a heroine of fortune. Activating the attribute panel. ]

At that moment, the system's cold notification suddenly rang out in Su Bai's mind. His heart jolted, and seeing Zhang Tianci already take half a step forward, he hurriedly reached out and dragged the idiot back...

Holy shit!

What kind of luck was this? He had only come out to fire a pistol, yet he could run into a heroine of fortune? Xiao Fan, you bastard, were you planning to spread your seeds everywhere or what?!
