Chapitre 5: Horror Night
As Chen Liuhe approached, Qin Ruohan remained calm and composed, seemingly disbelieving that someone like Chen Liuhe, clearly inexperienced, would dare to do anything to her.
Just look at the guy, wearing a sweatshirt, liberation shoes, and a suit, probably not worth fifty bucks altogether. How could someone like him have the courage?
However, she was mistaken. Just when she felt as steady as Mount Tai, suddenly, Chen Liuhe's figure surged forward and, almost in the blink of an eye, was in front of her.
In Qin Ruohan's horrified gaze, Chen Liuhe didn't say a word, reaching out and pulling her arm, directly leaping to the side.
At the same time, there was a loud bang, and the glass of the window shattered, debris from the wooden coffee table next to where Qin Ruohan had just stood splintered, and a gun barrel emitting white smoke appeared.
"Don't make a sound. If you value your life, keep quiet. There's a sniper!" Chen Liuhe whispered to the almost screaming Qin Ruohan, who shivered in fear.
She also saw the gun barrel emitting white smoke and was instantly pale with fright, finding it hard to believe she had just brushed past death.
Chen Liuhe wanted to curse loudly now. He couldn't believe his bad luck, encountering such a situation. If his honed sense of danger from countless life-and-death situations hadn't made him feel the danger just now, this woman would probably be a corpse by now.
Bang! Another gunshot rang out, another piece of glass shattered at the window, and at this moment, Chen Liuhe didn't care anymore. He rolled on the ground with Qin Ruohan, a sniper bullet piercing the ground.
Without hesitation, Chen Liuhe swiftly leaped up with Qin Ruohan, turning off all the main lights in the living room. Suddenly, the living room plunged into pitch darkness.
The two nestled in the blind spot behind the entrance hall liquor cabinet. From Chen Liuhe's steady breathing, one could sense that he was not the least bit nervous or flustered, surprisingly calm.
Through tiny cracks, Chen Liuhe scanned the rooftop of an apartment building outside the window. With his eyesight, he couldn't see things beyond a few hundred meters, but he could be a hundred percent sure where the sniper was, precise to within three meters!
Domestic kuB-88 Type 588 small-caliber sniper rifle, maximum range one kilometer. Chen Liuhe accurately revealed the model of sniper rifle the sniper used: "Tsk tsk, knowing how to use such a precise and penetrating sniper rifle with just the right range, this guy is experienced."
Bang! Another loud noise, a sniper bullet directly pierced the wooden board of the liquor cabinet, the bullet almost grazing Chen Liuhe's neck.
Startled, Qin Ruohan, huddled in Chen Liuhe's arms, screamed, clinging tightly to his sturdy body, but Chen Liuhe looked as calm as ever, not a muscle twitching even for a moment.
After waiting for a few more seconds without any more movement, Chen Liuhe looked down at the trembling Qin Ruohan and said, "Alright, stop screaming, the sniper is gone."
"How do you know?" Qin Ruohan was truly terrified. When had she ever experienced such a situation? This was a scene that should only appear in movies.
"For a professional sniper, if they haven't successfully killed with one shot, the best thing to do is not to continue lurking but to retreat immediately, otherwise they will only become sitting ducks to be surrounded! This is the instinctive reaction of any sniper." Chen Liuhe said lightly.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances. However, for a sniper of Chen Liuhe's level, he often does things like killing the target and then smoking a cigarette at the sniper point, waiting for those people to surround him, and then taking them all out.
"Hehe, beauty, to be targeted by a sniper rifle, it seems you are not an ordinary person either." Chen Liuhe stood up nonchalantly, not worried at all that the sniper would continue to shoot.
"Step back ten thousand steps, a sniper of this level, even if Chen Liuhe keeps exposing himself in the sniper's view, the other party may not be able to harm him in the slightest."
A veteran sniper, from aiming to shooting, takes 23 seconds. Unfortunately, Chen Liuhe's reaction time exceeds this standard by too much. He can even accurately judge and dodge the sniper's shot at the moment the other party fires.
This is his extraordinary and terrifying aspect!
"Meeting you is really unlucky. You clean up this mess yourself. Can you give me the money now? Eight hundred bucks is a fixed price, and I saved your life, this is definitely a bargain." Chen Liuhe said calmly, hard to believe that he had just experienced a shooting incident.
"I can give you money, any amount, but can you stay? I'm scared." Qin Ruohan grabbed Chen Liuhe's clothes, her inner fear was indescribable. Right now, Chen Liuhe was like a life-saving straw in her eyes.
Even a fool could see that Chen Liuhe was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Hehe, you're scared? Don't pretend to be innocent with me. Someone who can attract a sniper, how simple can you be?" Chen Liuhe sneered, turning on the main light in the living room, "Even if you're scared, you should go to the police, what's the use of finding me? But since the other party dares to snipe at you, they must not be afraid of you calling the police, so be careful."
"Are you really unwilling to help me? I know you're not an ordinary person, you have the ability to help me." Qin Ruohan's eyes, with a hint of mist, held a plea.
Chen Liuhe shook his head: "Unfortunately, you've got the wrong person. I'm just an ordinary person, I can't deal with your life-threatening trouble."
At these words, Qin Ruohan felt despondent, saying, "Alright, we have no relationship, and I shouldn't have involved you in such a dangerous situation." With that, she took out a wad of money from her handbag and handed it to Chen Liuhe, "You saved my life, this is your reward."
Chen Liuhe smiled, not accepting the stack of money but taking out eight bills from it, "I'm a very principled person. I won't ask for a penny more than what belongs to me, nor will I accept a penny more than what doesn't belong to me."
This seemingly principled statement was said with righteousness. Who knows how much he wanted to keep all the money in his pocket, but he was also afraid that this woman would cling to him. To be on the safe side, Chen Liuhe could only reluctantly let it go.
"By the way, let me give you a hint. The sniper just now didn't really want your life. I estimate that eight or nine out of ten just wanted to scare you. You should have an idea in your heart." Chen Liuhe said. He had judged this from the sniper's first shot. Now, thinking about that shot, even if he hadn't tackled the beautiful female homeowner, at most, he would have brushed past her smooth face, not enough to be fatal.
Just as Chen Liuhe had left not
long ago, Qin Ruohan, still trembling with fear, received a call from an unfamiliar number. Upon hearing the voice, Qin Ruohan became furious: "You're dead set on this, I won't let your ambitions succeed!"
Even Chen Liuhe, who was downstairs, heard Qin Ruohan's heartfelt words. He smiled, not expecting this woman to be so spirited.
Although Chen Liuhe was not someone who would rush to help anyone in need like a living Lei Feng, he was not a cold-blooded executioner either. It was not that he wanted to watch this beautiful female homeowner in dire straits and not lend a hand, but he knew that this woman should not be in any life-threatening danger. The person targeting her must have other motives, not to take her life.
Furthermore, Chen Liuhe had seen too many of these kinds of things, to the point of being somewhat numb. He had just barely escaped the whirlpool of deceit and danger, and at the moment, he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble again.
Getting on the old tricycle, he looked up at the floor where the beautiful female homeowner lived and shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems that being an all-round housekeeping expert is also a high-risk job. I'll have to find another way out in the future."
The next morning, Chen Liuhe got up and made breakfast, pickled vegetables and clear porridge. After the siblings finished eating, Chen Liuhe, as usual, rode his tricycle to take Shen Qingwu to school.
All day long, Chen Liuhe pedaled around the streets and alleys, doing what every commoner was doing, making a living.
Of course, the enlightened Chen Liuhe had an additional task today, which was to find a job. With his incomplete resume, he visited more than a dozen recruiting companies, but none of them could see his talents, all casting disdainful and contemptuous glances as soon as they saw Chen Liuhe's resume, and directly told him to get lost.
Another failed interview, Chen Liuhe walked out of a real estate company with a dejected look, feeling a little discouraged. He squatted next to the old tricycle, smoking a cigarette while looking at his resume.
"What's wrong with this? Are all the interviewers blind? Can't they see my outstanding excellence?" If someone knew what Chen Liuhe was thinking at the moment, they would definitely spit in his face.
"How can this be called a resume?"
Name: Chen Liuhe.
Age: 25.
Gender: See for yourself.
Education: Infinite.
Specialties: Jack of all trades.
Work experience: Served in the military, carried guns, chased bullets, got injured, and was even sent by the organization for deep reform in the southwest region.
Especially this last point, after thorough investigation, everyone found out that this shameless guy's so-called deep reform was just doing time in prison in the southwest, a bona fide reformed prisoner.
And look at the gender, education, and specialties, what kind of nonsense is this? With such an unprofessional resume, every interviewer would pass him over.
Furthermore, with Chen Liuhe's criminal record of labor reform, it was normal that he couldn't find a job.
What's more important is that this guy is not even interested in ordinary positions. Today, these dozen or so companies are all aiming for managerial positions or higher.
If he can find a job with all these conditions, then the world is too crazy!
