...

This handsome and elegant gentleman was showering Chu Yunxuan with attentions, his enthusiasm truly too fervent.

However, Chu Yunxuan's response was very calm, no longer the icy demeanor of the past, but with a faint smile, Perhaps it was this smile that made the gentleman feel good about himself, possibly believing that he was the first to enjoy the beauty's smile.

But in reality, Chu Yunxuan wasn't looking at him at all but gazing affectionately at Qin Fang beside her.

"Young Master Ai..."

It was those behind the handsome gentleman who noticed Qin Fang's presence, and seeing the intimate manner between Chu Yunxuan and Qin Fang, their expressions changed dramatically; someone quietly tugged at the gentleman's clothes and softly called out.

"Dr. Chu, this is..."

It wasn't until that moment that the gentleman with the last name Ai noticed Qin Fang, as well as the arm in arm posture of the two, His expression changed, but fortunately, he had some decorum and didn't immediately lose his temper. Instead, he inquired about Qin Fang's identity from Chu Yunxuan.

"Qin Fang, Yunxuan's boyfriend!"

It was naturally Qin Fang's turn to step forward, and he took the initiative to extend his hand while introducing himself, clarifying his relationship with Chu Yunxuan.

However, upon hearing Qin Fang's introduction, Young Master Ai's expression changed immediately, and when he saw Chu Yunxuan smiling so tenderly, a strange light flickered rapidly in his eyes.

"Ai Nan! Nice to meet you..."

Despite the gloominess in his expression, Young Master Ai still maintained a degree of grace, shaking hands with Qin Fang with a rather kind tone.

"Nice to meet you..."

Regarding Ai Nan, whose name sounded quite odd and almost laughable, Qin Fang was still very polite. Even though the man had been somewhat inappropriate earlier, Qin Fang was the victor and it was necessary to show some grace.

"Young Master Qin, are you here to shoot?"

However, Ai Nan quickly began talking, noticing Li Yang not far away, and realized Qin Fang had come with him.

He and Li Yang were of similar status, although Li Yang held an actual position in the military, while Ai Nan merely held a nominal one, his main pursuit was in business. This shooting range that had been remodeled into a gun club was one of his enterprises.

"Brother Li saw I was quite bored here and insisted on dragging me over to have some fun. You're busy, Young Master Ai, you don't need to mind us..."

Qin Fang didn't have a particularly good feeling about Young Master Ai, but it wasn't too bad either. After all, he was a rival in love, albeit a reluctant one. That Ai Nan showed such grace was rather impressive, certainly far better than Qin Fang's former rival, Li Feng.

"Ai Nan, go ahead with your business; I'll look after my friend myself..."

Li Yang, of course, couldn't really just stand by and watch. His relationship with Ai Nan wasn't particularly good, but both of them operated in the same circles and weren't on terrible terms either.

Speaking of the gun club, it was Ai Nan's project, but Li Yang had a share in it too. Usually, when coming to play or such, he hardly spent any money.

"How could that be? Your friend, Brother Li, is also my friend, Ai Nan. Since I'm not doing anything special, let's join in together..."

Ai Nan clearly wasn't someone who could be easily dismissed, taking the initiative to mix in. Of course, his gaze still held that desire when looking at Chu Yunxuan, indicating that he hadn't completely given up hope.

"Then let's all join in together!"

Qin Fang also noticed Li Yang's awkwardness and decided to go with the flow. After all, whether there was one more person or one less didn't really matter; they were all there to have fun, and it wasn't as if Ai Nan would actually take a gun and blow his head off on the spot, eliminating him as a rival in love...

With Qin Fang's consent, naturally, there were no other major issues, and as the boss of the place, Ai Nan promptly cleared the best shooting area for their use.

In the military, firearms were of course indispensable; there were basically all kinds of guns, and Qin Fang even spotted a few limited edition firearms.

However, these guns were Ai Nan's private collection and were not meant for use.

Though passionate about making money, Ai Nan, much like Qiao Zhenfei who was enthusiastic about collecting and gambling on stones, was fond of collecting firearms and was also a shooting enthusiast. He was even said to have gone to Hong Kong to participate in a shooting contest.

Of course, none of these guns could be taken away. Each gun had a special serial number, and there was a process in place from checking out a gun to returning it. If these guns were carelessly circulated outside, Ai Nan could not escape responsibility. It was very likely that even the father of the military district commander would be implicated.

Clearing the shooting area was not a big issue, as Ai Nan was the boss, and it was just a word away.

Soon, the group arrived at the outdoor area, which provided a good visual effect, and under the blue sky and white clouds, shooting could be more unrestrained and free.

As for firearms, that was even less of an issue. Ai Nan just gave a shout, and someone immediately brought over a large batch of guns, numbering at least twenty or thirty.

From various models of pistols to all sorts of machine guns and submachine guns, there were even sniper rifles...

Generally speaking, other customers couldn't possibly have so many options, but Qin Fang and his group were considered insiders, so they had much more freedom.

Looking at that pile of guns, Qin Fang's face also bore a smile. Although he had guns, even several of them, most could not be used normally. It had been quite a while since he had last shot, and he couldn't help feeling a bit itchy for it.

With just a glance, he immediately picked out a Walther P99 from the pile. This gun actually looked the most familiar, having appeared in many movies and TV shows.

"Young Master Qin, have you played with guns before?"

Watching Qin Fang fiddling with the German-made Walther P99 pistol in his hands, Ai Nan couldn't help but ask.

This gun was considered quite common, but when it was first designed, it had caused quite a sensation, and later it was widely used in the military and police forces.

It wasn't a type of firearm with immense power; compared to the Desert Eagle, it was not in the same league. However, it was a model many firearms enthusiasts liked a lot.

At the same time, it was also a favorite among those who modified guns. Its design philosophy was quite advanced in the challenging work of gun modification, and many experts in gun modification liked to use this model to create guns with much stronger firepower, some even several times more powerful than the Desert Eagle.

The gun in Qin Fang's hands was one that had been modified, but few people had noticed – only Ai Nan and a few others in the range were aware of it.

But unexpectedly, out of so many guns, Qin Fang picked out this one, which made Ai Nan surprised for a moment. He didn't know if Qin Fang had coincidentally chosen this model, or if he had picked out this gun because he had a good understanding of firearms, which led to his question.

"Played once, a long time ago..."

Qin Fang said casually, but at his side, Chu Yunxuan pursed her lips and smiled while Qiao Zhenfei, not far away, rolled his eyes. He had seen Qin Fang pull out a gun before, and for all he knew, Qin Fang might even be carrying one right now.

This didn't strike him as strange. Qin Fang's physique was excellent, and being the Tang Family's confirmed future son-in-law, given the Tang Family Members' considerable influence in National Security and the military, getting a gun permit for Qin Fang wouldn't be difficult.

Just like himself, if he was willing, it wouldn't be too big of a problem. He really had to thank Qin Fang for bringing a gun that time; otherwise, the treasure they had just acquired could have been stolen, including a calligraphy piece he now cherished immensely.

"Young Master Qin, it's not much fun for so many of us to shoot one by one at targets. How about we play a shooting competition?"

Ai Nan immediately suggested.

In fact, among those who came to the shooting range to play with guns, very few were there for live-fire target shooting. More often, they organized two groups to compete against each other, which was clearly much more entertaining and confrontational.

"Live rounds?"

Qin Fang was quite surprised, not expecting Ai Nan to come up with such an idea.

Live-fire shooting, and even between two parties, was basically asking for murder. Had this guy lost his mind?

"It seems Young Master Qin really hasn't played with guns much... Actually, they're paintballs. They only hurt a bit when they hit you, and they can't injure you. At most, they'll just leave some colors smeared on your body!"

Ai Nan laughed, knowing from Qin Fang's surprised expression that he truly hadn't played with guns much and had never experienced this kind of paintball shooting, which made him even more confident.

"Brother Fei, Brother Li, what do you think?"

Qin Fang didn't mind. While the other side had quite a few people, eight or nine in total, his own side was clearly less in number. Apart from Qin Fang, Chu Yunxuan, Qiao Zhenfei, and Li Yang, there were only two bodyguards brought by Qiao Zhenfei, making a total of only six, fewer than the other side. But if it really came to a confrontation, Qin Fang wasn't worried about them at all.

However, since it was a competition, Qin Fang couldn't decide on his own and naturally had to see what Qiao Zhenfei and Li Yang thought as well.

"We're idle anyway, let's play..."

Qiao Zhenfei was indifferent. He actually played with guns occasionally, not too good but also not too bad. Besides, the two bodyguards by his side were former special forces, with formidable gunmanship. Naturally, he was not afraid of Ai Nan's side, despite their greater numbers.

"I have no objections..."

Seeing that Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei had no objections, Li Yang nodded in agreement too.

Compared to Qin and Qiao, Li Yang knew Ai Nan better. This guy loved guns and also had excellent marksmanship. As for those around him, they were quite strong as well, and their teamwork was quite good.

It was common for the children of officials and the wealthy from Jincheng to come over in groups to play against them, but they always ended up being miserably defeated, which made Ai Nan win quite a lot of money.

From this, one could see that Ai Nan and his little group were quite strong, while their side... seemed to be a bit weaker! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
