Su Jiang stood expressionless, his eyes like deep, unruffled waters.
The barrel of the gun in his hand was aimed accurately at Lin Hui, his hand holding the gun trembling slightly.
It was his first time shooting at someone, which left him unsettled, but the tremor didn’t last long, quickly replaced by inner calm.
Thanks to his advanced skill in firearms, Su Jiang not only understood the use of handguns but also possessed precise shooting abilities.
As he gripped the gun, it was as if he merged with it, every movement appearing natural and fluid.
Meanwhile, Lin Hui had snapped out of his initial shock.
He exhaled, a hint of disdainful smile playing on his lips, seemingly unfazed by Su Jiang’s threat.
He casually remarked, “You won’t shoot. If I die, it will inevitably trigger a war between the Lin family and the An family…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, a crisp gunshot shattered the room’s silence.
*Bang!*
The bullet sliced through the air like lightning, grazing past Lin Hui’s ear and hitting the bottle behind him with precision.
The bottle instantly shattered, fragments flying and clattering on the floor.
Although the shot didn’t hit Lin Hui, it left him visibly shaken.
He hadn’t expected Su Jiang to actually shoot, let alone with such accuracy.
Su Jiang: “A war between the Lin family and the An family? How is that my concern?”
Lin Hui: “???”
Not buddies?
Are you fucking serious?
Lin Hui’s face no longer held its previous calm demeanor. Mechanically, he turned his head to look at Li Cai standing beside him, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.
What’s going on?
Why did he dare to shoot?
Isn’t he from your An family?
Understanding the perplexity in Lin Hui’s eyes, Li Cai nodded. His face was somewhat pale, clearly startled by Su Jiang’s shot. Lin Hui really couldn’t die here.
Lin Hui’s mind was in chaos, feeling the lingering pain of the bullet grazing past his ear. This sensation further convinced him that he had truly walked on the edge of life and death.
“Classmate… no, brother!” Lin Hui’s voice was tense, urgently correcting the address, trying to bridge the gap between him and Su Jiang.
“Put down the gun first, let’s talk things out!”
Lin Hui disregarded his own status, previously aloof, now looking quite disheveled.
There was no choice but to bow down when facing the barrel of a gun.
“Yes, Su Jiang, calm down first, please don’t shoot again.” Li Cai also hurriedly spoke up, regretting deeply.
If he had known Su Jiang would act so recklessly, he would never have let Su Jiang and Lin Hui meet.
In his view, compared to Lin Hui’s capriciousness, Su Jiang seemed more like an unpredictable madman. Once his limits were crossed, he would face Su Jiang’s frenzied retaliation.
Sweat beads formed on Li Cai’s forehead as he nervously observed Su Jiang’s reaction, fearing he might pull the trigger again.
Su Jiang’s gaze remained as cold as ice, the gun in his hand still pointed steadily at Lin Hui.
Lin Hui’s face gradually turned pale, never imagining he would be in such a hopeless situation.
A man with a formidable reputation in the underworld now found himself at the mercy of a student, with a cold gun barrel aimed at his head, and he was utterly powerless.
After a long moment, Su Jiang took a deep breath and slowly lowered the gun in his hand.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to spare Lin Hui.
Firstly, he didn’t want to take a life, even if it belonged to someone from the underworld.
Secondly, he didn’t want to invite trouble or face retaliation from the Lin family.
*Click! Click!*
In the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Su Jiang’s movements were as skillful as a magician. He swiftly removed the magazine from the handgun and then tossed the empty gun towards Lin Hui.
The gun arced through the air, landing precisely at Lin Hui’s feet with a crisp metal clatter.
“I said, my presence here was just a coincidence. I have no intention of getting involved in the affairs between your underworld families.”
Su Jiang paused for a moment before continuing, “Consider these two bullets today as a reminder. Don’t come looking for trouble with me, and I won’t provoke you either.”
He lightly shook the magazine in his hand, causing the bullets to slide out with a clear sound, dropping to the ground one by one.
Until the end, only a single bullet lay quietly in the magazine.
Su Jiang extended two fingers, firmly gripping the bullet and slowly raising it to Lin Hui’s eyes.
“If you ever seek revenge later…”
“This bullet will show you your own brain splatter!”
The onlookers watched in shock, unable to believe these words coming from a student.
The atmosphere instantly became tense and oppressive, as if even the air had solidified.
This was no longer a mere reminder; it was a threat.
Su Jiang was now threatening Lin Hui, threatening the Lin family of the underworld in Jiangdu City!
“This kid is truly a madman…” Li Cai muttered to himself, unsure of any words besides “madman” to describe Su Jiang at that moment.
In the silence, Su Jiang pocketed the bullet, pushed the door open without looking back, and the waitstaff quickly made way for him, fear evident in their eyes.
They all knew that the seemingly ordinary young man before them was a ruthless individual!
After Su Jiang left, laughter echoed in the quiet bar, like a beast lurking in the darkness.
“Hehehe… Hahahaha…” Lin Hui’s laughter grew louder, as he laughed and bent down to pick up the gun Su Jiang had thrown, his fingers lightly caressing the cold gun barrel. A twisted and eerie smile appeared on his face.
He looked up at Li Cai standing beside him, a hint of mockery in his tone, “Li Cai, that person just now wasn’t from your An family, right?”
Li Cai hesitated for a moment and said, “Not really.”
“That’s good!”
He gritted his teeth as he uttered these three words, his eyes revealing immense ferocity and madness.
He gazed at the bar’s entrance, now empty, but in Lin Hui’s eyes, it seemed as if he could see Su Jiang’s departing figure.
Lin Hui muttered to himself, “To show me my brain splatter? That’s truly interesting!”
Then, he turned to Li Cai and asked, “Do you think he will regret not killing me today?”
Li Cai remained silent, offering no response.
But Lin Hui seemed not to need his answer. He continued on his own, “I bet he will! He will definitely regret not killing me today!”
With that, Lin Hui left, leaving Scar, who had fainted from pain on the ground, without a second glance.
With his wrist broken and his leg shot, even if Scar recovered, he wouldn’t have the same combat ability as before.
A person of no value was not needed by the Lin family.
“You guys, carry Scar away, clean up this place, and don’t open for business today.”
As Li Cai made arrangements, he watched Lin Hui’s retreating figure, feeling a headache coming on.
Everything that happened here today needed to be reported to An Mingjie as soon as possible to decide whether to protect Su Jiang.
In his view, everything Su Jiang had shown today was worth their An family’s full effort to win him over. Even if unsuccessful, they absolutely could not afford to be enemies.
