Main Text Chapter 329: Why can't I hit?

Bang!

The gunshot suddenly rang out; although it had been silenced, it was still very clear in the quiet villa area.

"Boss, be careful!"

Han Jin lunged forward, knocking Xiao Feng to the ground.

What's going on?

Xiao Feng's heart jolted.

Gunshot!

Someone is trying to assassinate him!

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out again.

On the left side of his body, a landscaping small tree was snapped off at the waist!

"Everyone, protect the boss!"

Han Jin pressed his personal alarm; the alarm sounded, and all the bodyguards rushed out.

"What's going on?"

"Is that gunfire? Where is it coming from?"

Everyone was tense and became alert.

"Over there!"

"Find cover, everyone be careful!"

Soon they discovered that at the second-floor window of the villa building next door not far away, several people were staring this way.

And a light sniper rifle was also exposed to everyone's view.

That's a sniper rifle!

A single bullet can shatter half a person's body; it's a terrifyingly deadly weapon!

"Escort the boss back inside, retreat first!"

Han Jin barked lowly.

Bang!

The gunshot sounded again; the assassin, heedless of everything, even knowing he would be exposed, still aimed to kill Xiao Feng.

But...

This assassin's marksmanship is really poor; the bullet wasn't even aimed at Xiao Feng, cleverly bypassing him and all the bodyguards to strike the flowerbed nearby.

At this tense moment, no one paid attention to that; they just thought it was a lucky break.

In their panic, they shoved Xiao Feng toward a safe place.

During the process, the fourth gunshot rang out again; the bullet still didn't hit anyone—despite such a big person plus twenty or thirty bodyguards, not a single one was hit, and it struck the grass once more.

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Not far away, on the second floor of the villa, the sniper 'Gao Chen' jumped up in anger.

Four shots!

Exactly four shots!

Not four rounds from a Gatling, but four rounds from a sniper rifle!

Under these conditions—excellent visibility, short distance, minimal wind—not only could a veteran sniper do it, even a rookie could absolutely score a headshot, turning the target into a ragdoll!

But he……

All four shots missed completely!

"Gao Chen, what's wrong with you!?"

Those who acted together with him

All four of them were dumbfounded.

What kind of marksmanship is this?

This must be a blind person, right?

"I... I don't know... Could the gun have been tampered with?" Gao Chen looked bewildered.

He simply couldn't accept the fact that he had missed four shots in a row.

Even under extremely difficult sniping conditions, he has a hit rate over 97%, and hitting a moving target at 1,000 meters is no problem for him.

Yet a large living person under 300 meters away made him miss all four shots!

"We've already been exposed; retreat first!"

The leader 'Qin Sheng' gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

The current situation is very unfavorable for them—not only did the assassination fail, but everyone is exposed; once the police arrive, they won't be able to escape, so they must withdraw immediately!

"Hurry up!"

Gao Chen hurriedly disassembled his weapon and put the gun away.

During the disassembly, he also paid a little attention.

But he felt nothing unusual about this gun.

Soon, the four people left the villa and drove away from the scene.

Along the way, after several twists and turns, they cleared all traces of being followed, leaving no handles for pursuit.

In the car, the other three stared intently at Gao Chen; the leader Qin Sheng demanded: 'Old Gao, you must give me a reasonable explanation, or else today I can't answer to Tian Ge!'

Gao Chen was sweating all over.

"This, this... I don't know either! Logically, this shouldn't be possible!" He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

"You brat, have you been bribed? How much money did that Xiao Feng give you?!" A Zhong snapped, his hand pressing on Gao Chen's neck, eyes flashing with menace.

"I didn't, I really didn't! Before I came out with you, I had never seen him!" Gao Chen felt utterly wronged.

He's a sharpshooter—how could he run into something like this?

Now look, his employers don't believe him anymore—he can't defend himself no matter what!

"Let's go back and check it later. If the gun's faulty, we'll let it slide this time, but if it's you... hum, you know what your fate will be!" Qin Sheng said coldly.

"I, I..."

Gao Chen was drenched in sweat.

At this point, he could only hope his sniper rifle had malfunctioned.

Soon after, they arrived at a secluded resort in the suburbs.

They got out of the car and saw a dignified man waiting for them.

"Tian Ge."

"Tian Ge."

Several people stepped forward and greeted him respectfully; Gao Chen, forehead slick with cold sweat, forced out a sentence.

Seeing Gao Chen's state, Qin Tian chuckled and said, "Xiao Chen, why such a big reaction? You're not a first‑time killer—why are you so scared?"

"Tian Ge, I..."

Gao Chen really wanted to say he wasn't scared of killing—he was scared because he hadn't managed to kill.

He didn't dare say it.

Qin Sheng explained, "Tian Ge, something went wrong this time—this Gao Chen kid doesn't know what happened; he fired four shots and didn't hit a thing, not even a graze—every bullet hit a tree."

"What? Missed? Failed?" Qin Tian glared.

Qin Tian, aka Invincible Under Heaven, had long held a high position, and his bearing naturally exuded an extraordinary nobility.

In that moment of anger, Gao Chen broke out in a cold sweat and blurted, "The gun... the gun seems broken."

"Let me check it."

A Zhong, who had been on the operation, took down the weapons case, assembled it with the same practiced skill, and immediately began testing it in the resort.

The result...

Every shot hit—by coincidence, three sparrows flying past were shot down in succession, not a single shot missing.

Seeing this, Gao Chen turned ashen, fell to his knees with a thud, and stammered, "Tian Ge, I really don't know what's going on—I gave it my all to snipe Xiao Feng, but he just..."

"Enough."

Qin Tian raised a hand to cut him off and said coldly, "Go settle your wages—your family will be fine."

"No, Tian Ge, I, I really..."

"Tian Ge, I truly haven't betrayed you—I'm telling the truth!"

"That guy's weird—bullets just won't hit him!"

"Tian Ge, you have to believe me, you have to believe me!"

Gao Chen was dragged away, disappearing into the depths of the resort.

The remaining few gathered around, staring at the gun on the ground, lost in thought.

"What do we do now?" Qin Tian asked.

Qin Sheng pondered, then replied, "This operation failed; Xiao Feng will surely be on guard, making next time even harder. I think... we probably need to call in 'that person' to take care of it."

Qin Tian thought it over, nodded, and said, "All right, let's get her. Handle it cleanly—I don't want Xiao Feng to survive tonight."

Having said that, he turned and left.

The other three involved in the operation were also breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, this Gao Chen kid almost got us killed too!"

"I was hoping to put in a good showing and earn some recognition, but now we've accomplished nothing—this whole year's been for nothing!"

"Ah, what bad luck—really, just terrible luck!"

"Enough talk—I'm getting ready. Since regular tactics failed, we'll go extreme. That Xiao Feng definitely won't make it through the night!"

The three chatted for a bit, then soon dispersed.

The resort was peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

But inside, there was one person missing.
