Chapter 401: Chapter 382: Deciding the Second Task

```

Because the last mission seemed too easy, Hu Si deeply felt that his judgement was off. He silently pulled out several photos of extremely vicious criminals, threw a dart, and whichever photo it hit, that would be the one.

Feng covered his eyes at the side, simply unable to bear to watch such childish behavior.

The first dart didn’t hit any photo but instead flew past Feng’s ear, barely missing it by just a tiny distance.

"What are you doing?" Feng asked with obvious impatience, having said nothing to provoke this.

"You shuffle the photos then flip them over for me. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be choosing again?" Hu Si said, looking troubled: "I suspect you’re a jinx, how come you always find yourself in these situations?"

Feng, appearing indifferent, spread his hands and mixed up the photos pinned to the wall with thumbtacks: "I think it’s pretty good, luck is also a form of strength you know."

"Are you saying my luck is bad again?" Hu Si’s voice came through darkly.

"Think what you want," Feng carelessly sorted the photos and then stepped aside.

The next second, Hu Si’s dart hit a photo spot-on. Feng stepped forward to take down the photo and turned it over for Hu Si to see. Hu Si nodded: "If something like that happens this time, I’ll look to A-levels."

"Don’t joke about that," Feng frowned. "You don’t have the clearance." Looking at the clean-faced person in the photo, Feng couldn’t shake the feeling that this was the type of person that the little brat would like.

Hu Si glared at Feng angrily: "Next time, I might just use you for acupuncture practice, believe it or not?"

Feng shrugged: "No problem, I could use a good excuse for a vacation. Unlike you, an external agent, we’re really busy."

"Pfft," Hu Si turned his head away, not believing a word from Feng. Aside from the mandatory monthly tasks, all other tasks could be exchanged for bonus or goods.

"Alright, you should go pick up the kid," Feng waved his hand and glanced at the clock hanging in the room: "She’s also exhausted every day; don’t be too hard on her."

Hu Si nodded but clearly intended to let it go in one ear and out the other, not really taking it in.

Feng sighed, poured himself a glass of wine, and thought how unlucky the child was to have Hu Si as her primary doctor; how could the term ’perverse’ even begin to describe him?

After Hu Si left, he headed to the club. Today was Luo Qianqian’s live-fire training, and he wondered how she was doing.

He quickly arrived at the club, and as he entered, he noticed everyone gathered around, watching something.

Seeing Luo Qianqian in the crowd, wearing gear and holding a gun, he was slightly surprised and asked someone watching: "What’s going on?"

"You just got here, huh? The kid has already shot seven rounds, ten shots each."

Hu Si nodded, that wasn’t particularly a lot. So what?

"The first round, all ten shots missed the target."

As expected.

"The second round hit the first and second rings."

That was a bit of progress.

"The third round hit the second and third rings."

Not too shabby, but surely that’s not why there was such a crowd.

The person looked at Hu Si with a deep gaze and said somewhat proudly: "If it were just this, we wouldn’t have been attracted. But the fourth round, all shots hit the fourth ring."

At that moment, Luo Qianqian fired the first shot of the eighth round.

"The fifth round, all in the fifth ring, no more, no less, as if it had been calculated."

"The sixth round, all in the sixth ring."

```

"The seventh round, all eight rings, so we’re waiting for this one."

Aim, second shot, third shot... until the tenth shot. Except for the longer aiming time for the first two shots, the speed got faster and faster.

"Ninety rings." The voice from the opposite side rang out, not sure if it was surprise or astonishment.

Hu Si looked over, pulled up Luo Qianqian’s long sleeve, and frowned at her reddened arm, "What are you doing?"

Luo Qianqian was somewhat baffled. Wasn’t she here to learn exactly this?

"Do you know that the recoil can cause hidden injuries to your arm?" Hu Si frowned, his eyes flashing with a mysterious light. "That’s it for today. You’re not allowed to touch a gun for a week."

Not touch a gun? What about a bow and arrow?

"Let’s go home." Grabbing Luo Qianqian’s clothes, he turned and dragged the bemused child away, and the onlookers finally dispersed.

Once in the car, Hu Si gave her a dark look, "Did you do that on purpose today?"

"Not exactly..." Luo Qianqian touched her nose. At least for the first five rounds, she really hadn’t, although maybe later on, there was some intent.

"You’ll have double the homework for the next few nights." Hu Si said without mercy, suddenly started the car, and Luo Qianqian was jolted against the seatback, looking aggrieved but still staying silent.

She had followed the instructions to the letter, so why should she be punished?

That homework wasn’t just any homework; it was Hu Si’s acupuncture course. All the techniques like twirling the needle, flicking it, plucking it, manipulating it—after two days, she could only sigh at the profound complexity and was disheartened.

When she called her brother Shufan to talk about her plight, he even said that it was good to learn, that having a general understanding of one’s body is helpful for knowing how to protect it.

Luo Qianqian didn’t have the heart to say she now felt like her entire body needed protection.

After telling her brother about their mother, he had only said that he was abroad and therefore didn’t keep in contact much.

Nevertheless, the siblings both shared the same anticipation for the baby in their mother’s belly, because he knew he wouldn’t be home every year.

As for learning Taekwondo, shooting, and acupuncture, Luo Qianqian talked about it all, but she didn’t mention a word about that mission, even though she’d complain to her brother about the market. She did that because her brother knew her environment wouldn’t be easy. If he and her mother were both unaware, she would continue to share only the good news, not the bad.

Shufan was the same; he didn’t mention a thing about his own matters. It was an unspoken understanding between the siblings, having someone to talk to was enough, and there was no need to share such things.

Lately, Luo Qianqian’s meals had gotten a bit more humane, with a fried chicken leg or wing every three days to satisfy her cravings.

As for catching snakes, that was no longer on the agenda, because after the last time they caught too many, Uncle Zhuang didn’t even want to see them anymore.

Back home, Hu Si ignored Luo Qianqian’s protests and promptly sat her down in the hall, pulling out a set of shimmering Silver Needles from the car, and as Luo Qianqian tried to flee, Hu Si pressed her onto the stool. She howled on the spot, "Help, murder!!!"

Ji Xun and Uncle Zhuang rushed out at her call, "What’s wrong?"

Seeing the Silver Needles in Hu Si’s hand, they both got startled, "What happened?"

Hu Si didn’t hold back, not treating Luo Qianqian like a girl at all, and rolled her short sleeve up to her shoulder to reveal the redness, Uncle Zhuang frowned, "Shooting?"

"You’re really pushing yourself too hard, girl. I have some alcohol; just rub it on, don’t be afraid of the pain," Ji Xun also frowned.

"Heh." Hu Si let out a cold laugh. "A couple of needles, and she’ll remember this lesson."

"Oww oww oww." Luo Qianqian didn’t care about Ji Xun, who was laughing like a blossoming chrysanthemum, as she struggled desperately against Hu Si, only proving one thing—that an arm is no match for a thigh. If she ever encountered a male criminal in the future, she’d be better off running first, fleeing as the top priority. Through Hu Si, Luo Qianqian understood that the differences between men and women are not something that can be compensated for post-hoc.

It’s like how a man who goes to Thailand for a sex change still can’t give birth to a child.

"I’m wrong, I’ve learned my lesson!!!" Luo Qianqian now only wished she could go back to the afternoon; she definitely wouldn’t play like that again!!!
