Zhang Feipeng, along with Liu Chengdong and Elder Zhong behind the bulletproof glass, had all thought Chen Jue would use his evasive footwork to dodge Zhang Feipeng's lightning-fast shot.
They had never expected that Chen Jue would not dodge at all, but instead lunge forward and catch the bullet fired from the handgun with his bare hand!
