Chapter 313: Chapter 255 I Have a Gun (Please Subscribe!)_1

Two hours later.

After a satisfying meal.

Liu Qian wisely retreated to rest early. Chai Ren and Mu Jian, who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, were sure to catch up. Liu Qian would be intrusive if he continued to sit in. For an ordinary person, it wouldn’t matter, but many things Chai Ren talked about were personal or important matters that were none of his business.

The servants cleaned up the aftermath, and Liu Zhi took her daughter back to her room to freshen up.

Chai Ren and Mu Jian slowly walked by the small stream beside the villa, with four bodyguards following ten meters behind.

"What’s the story behind that Liu?" Mu Jian asked.

"A domestic businessman who mainly deals in real estate and construction. He also gets involved in entertainment, hotels and the jewelry business." Chai Ren explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jian laughed lightly and said with a disbelieving expression, "There must be more than that."

"Haha, you can’t be fooled. Indeed, he does dabble in a small-scale dollar exchange business." Chai Ren didn’t hide this fact, after all, many people knew that Liu Qian was involved in this type of business. However, Liu Qian knew his limits and managed it discreetly, hence no one could harm him with this. Of course, if Liu Qian was eventually implicated in other issues, this would become one of his ’crimes’.

"A dollar business? Currency exchange? Money laundering?" Mu Jian asked, puzzled.

"It’s just currency exchange, and only domestically. It doesn’t involve cross-border transactions. I got to know him when he helped me out with a small favor recently. He does have some capability." Chai Ren revealed.

"How big?" Mu Jian asked curiously.

Chai Ren shook his head and said, "Not big, mostly within a single province. When compared with those along the coast, it’s insignificant. After all, it’s just regular currency exchange. But his partner appears to be quite powerful and possess a considerable amount of dollars, and can even bring them into the country. That’s not simple."

"Are you talking about the force behind that Yuan brother?" Mu Jian immediately made the connection. Everything seemed logical and made sense now. He even pieced together an image of an international currency trafficker.

"I’m not sure, and I suppose Liu Qian doesn’t know either." Chai Ren said with a furrowed brow. Liu Qian had mentioned before that he didn’t know where the force providing the dollars came from. All he knew was that there was a spokesperson, and this ’Yuan brother’ borrowed money through a friend of that spokesperson. Did the two have any relationship? Of course he had the same guess as Mu Jian.

But a guess was, after all, just a guess, merely one possibility. He believed Liu Qian wouldn’t lie to him. Considering the capabilities shown by the force behind the fighter, it was unlikely they would fully trust Liu Qian. Fooling him was unavoidable.

"Haha, that’s pretty mysterious." Mu Jian laughed.

"Indeed, it’s quite mysterious. But regardless of the mystery, there should be no conflict of interest between us. We’re on the same side, so what does it matter who he is? It’s not good to know too much, as long as he can help me, that’s enough." Chai Ren said nonchalantly. Overthinking was a cause of unnecessary worry. Even if Liu Qian’s money was problematic, it wouldn’t harm him a bit.

"Yeah, ignorance can indeed be a blessing." Mu Jian acknowledged, nodding his head.

Chai Ren agreed and joked, "Jianzi, you haven’t discovered something you shouldn’t have, have you? Be careful not to be silenced."

"Your words are as pleasant as a raven’s caw. You’re overthinking. It’s just that the closer one gets to real power in this world, the more they see that beneath the tranquility lies endless sin and darkness. Interest, is the main theme, eternal." Mu Jian shook his head disapprovingly.

"Humph, show-off. Keep on showing off." Chai Ren said disdainfully.

"Would you die without giving me grief?" Mu Jian replied with annoyance.

"Yes." agreed Chai Ren. This topic had become too intense, his goal was to wrap things up as soon as possible.

"..."

The two chatted for a while then returned to rest. Mu Jian was fine, his curiosity waned after talking. But Chai Ren was different, even though he couldn’t investigate further, he couldn’t just sit back and not maintain and deepen such a connection. That wasn’t his style.

He was thinking about how to make contact with Liu Qian and the ’fog’ behind the fighter from a perspective of mutual interest. After all, they weren’t opponents, there was no need to think too much.

The next day.

The idle guys decided to indulge in some hunting. The day was perfect with nice weather, and Chai Ren also felt itching to do something. Although there were pastures and horses at Mu Jian’s place, Chai Ren did not like horse riding. He felt uncomfortable bouncing around, and more so he did not like the smell of the horse’s body, so he decided to play with guns instead.

Looking at the small arms depot in the basement of Mu Jian’s villa, Chai Ren was increasingly excited. Although he could easily play with guns domestically, at best he would only practice shooting at the range and, moreover, he couldn’t find as many varieties as here at Mu Jian’s place. Practically every famous gun from around the world could be found here.

Each selected a gun they liked. Chai Ren and Mu Jian both chose sniper rifles. Liu Qian, not being very skilled, randomly picked a submachine gun that he had never used before. In Mu Jian’s territory, there was no fear of anyone checking for unregistered firearms, and there was no need to obtain any hunting permits. This guy Mu Jian, if he wanted to do something, he would just grab a gun and do it.

Holding the gun in his hand, Liu Qian sighed, swearing inwardly: Damn Americans. Although he liked guns, he did not support the law of private gun ownership. Just like the kidnapping incident that happened today, as soon as he arrived in the United States, there were people using these things to ’get rich’. Thinking about it, domestic was better after all, he couldn’t escape the mindset where his actions were dictated by him being born in his home country.

Qi Tian, as the head of the security team, naturally picked a gun too. Even though recuperating from the injury would need a week, it didn’t mean he couldn’t move. It was like spraining an ankle, although recovery was time-consuming, it didn’t imply complete bed rest; with a crutch, one could still walk.

After the events of last night, Mu Jian’s bodyguards looked at the fighter rather oddly, pretty much like an alien. They, of course, knew what Qi Tian was capable of, but he was taken down within seconds.

That wouldn’t have been so bad if the fighter seemed apologetic, but his gaze remained cold, as if stating you brought it upon yourself. Qi Tian could take it, but they couldn’t - not a single person impetuously stepped forward to start a fight. After all, Mu Jian had said to turn the page, and someone jumping out would be like slapping Mu Jian’s face.

Qi Tian chose an M16, and loaded several magazines.

Looking at the soldier still standing to the side, he smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, you too pick one. I am aware of how rare these opportunities are back in China." He did not feel humiliated about what happened last night. If one’s skill level was lesser, who could be blamed? Though now, even though his movement was unrestricted, he couldn’t use his hand; else, he would challenge him for sure.

"I have a gun," the soldier said flatly.

"You have a gun?" Qi Tian exclaimed, surprised. There was no frisking when they entered the farm yesterday, and he didn’t expect the soldier to have brought a gun. Suddenly, his face somewhat turned awkward, considering this to be his negligence.

Mu Jian also turned to look at the soldier upon hearing that.

Quickly, Chai Ren added, "Jianzi, Brother Yuan has a legal gun permit here in the United States and carries two pistols on him. I forgot to mention it, sorry."

Mu Jian, after listening, shook his head and laughed, "Hehe, no problem. Brother Yuan, would you like to try some other guns, ones you wouldn’t get to play within domestically?" For some reason, he felt the soldier himself was a danger, even more so than the guns.

"No need," the soldier popped two words. For him, two pistols were enough. Playing with guns? The soldier was not interested at all. He was born with almost full-level shooting skills. The special construction of his muscles and nerves ensured that even if he did not practice for a long time, he wouldn’t become rusty. As long as the soldier had enough energy - even if he was not too hungry - he would still maintain his peak physical function and combat power. He didn’t need training at all.

Besides, for the soldier, he believed every bullet needed to have a purpose or mission, the concept of hobby or play did not exist.

Besides, even without a gun, if he faced a big brown bear, the soldier could still teach it to become a well-behaved bear in a jiffy. The fighting power of two hundred attributes wasn’t for show; by hitting a vital point, a giant bear would kneel to him, and even necessarily with double knees.

"Okay then." Mu Jian stopped trying to push the ’cold soldier’. This soldier was not just cold but completely ice immobilized.

Everyone took it as normal. If a person without much ability acted arrogant, definitely no one would give a damn, and they would slander him for being pretentious behind his back. But an expert showing off like that, people could only say they had a personality.

Everyone picked their guns.

The party of six cars drove about five to six kilometers and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Mu Jian’s six bodyguards, along with Liu Qian and Chai Ren’s, a total of ten bodyguards, each held different firearms. Of course, the soldier was the exception since he only had two pistols; the others not only had pistols but also various long guns that couldn’t fit into pockets.

The only ones really hunting this time were Liu Qian, Chai Ren, and Mu Jian. The others were to guarantee safety in case the prey went crazy and rushed over. With so many guns held by the bodyguards, they weren’t scared of anything unless they encountered a large pack of wolves.

Of course, in addition to this, there were three hunting dogs, each led by a bodyguard.

Hunting couldn’t be complete without dogs.
