Xia Chuqing's gaze wandered into the distance,

until that familiar yet strange silhouette disappeared from sight.

Her memories of that person were still stuck six years ago when he was acclaimed as Dragon Tooth's strongest Special Soldier King, the mere mention of his name would send drug traffickers and criminals into fits of terror.

Because some sensitive incidents happened at home back then, he had served as a security guard in their house for three months, responsible for protecting her and her sister's safety.

At the beginning, she remembered looking down on this uneducated soldier.

But when countless malicious villains couldn't escape his grasp, turning danger into safety time and again, and within a short span of three months, the criminals who ended up dead by his hand numbered over a hundred, Xia Chuqing finally remembered his name, as well as the figure of his back when he left.

The silhouette from back then seemed to overlap with the one from just before.

However, what made Xia Chuqing's memory particularly fresh wasn't his strength, but rather that her sister had deeply fallen in love with that man, to the point of no return.

"If my sister knew he was still alive, would she immediately rush back to Huaxia from the United States, without stopping for a moment?" Xia Chuqing wondered to herself.

...

Lin Hai, feeling bored, yawned vigorously, and suddenly felt as if someone was watching him from afar, a keen sensation forced and cultivated through numerous brushes with death, pushing his potential to the limit.

Relying on keenness and intuition, it had also allowed him to escape from death numerous times.

Suddenly turning his head, Lin Hai's gaze found nothing.

"Strange, I clearly felt someone was watching me just now."

Lin Hai scratched his head and quickly caught up with Ouyang Xiaoya, who was quite a distance ahead.

"President Ouyang, what do you think? Are you satisfied?" Camp Commander Li had already bragged quite a bit about his troops' glorious history, and it seemed like the soldiers were especially vigorous in their training today.

Watching those solidly-built warriors pouring out sweat, with the military bugle calls ringing clear, even Ouyang Xiaoya couldn't help but marvel, elites indeed are elites, if she could select some of these soon-to-be discharged soldiers to join the company after their service, it would definitely raise the company's security level by more than just a notch.

Walking along, under the deliberate lead of Camp Commander Li, everyone arrived at the shooting range.

Just then, a group of soldiers was practicing live-fire target shooting.

Camp Commander Li had done this intentionally as visitors from the locality who came to the base were not only curious about the strength of the special forces soldiers, but also the thing they were most curious and favorably disposed towards was shooting guns.

Ouyang Xiaoya was no exception; she had never touched a gun with her own hands.

If it had to be said she had touched one, it was only through coincidence and misunderstanding that she had brushed against Lin Hai's "gun" through clothing.

Watching those snipers hitting the bullseye effortlessly in long-range shots, Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes lit up.

"President Ouyang, would you like to give it a try?" Camp Commander Li said with a smile.

"Can I really do it? Isn't there some kind of discipline..." Ouyang Xiaoya hesitated, but her sparkling, beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation.

Camp Commander Li smiled and casually waved his hand: "President Ouyang is a rare visitor, and besides, this is for our troops' retired personnel employment arrangements. Playing with a gun is no big deal."

Hearing Camp Commander Li's words, Ouyang Xiaoya's crescent-like smile was a sight to behold.

Wang Dajun looked at the CEO with utter admiration, thinking she was incredibly beautiful.

Lin Hai yawned. These soldiers' marksmanship was passable, but that was about it. Fixed targets, they had been aiming for ages, the same old routine day after day. It would be a shame to not hit the bullseye as a sniper. In Dragon Tooth, even the old man stoking the furnace could hit the bullseye under these conditions.

"But I don't know how to shoot," Ouyang Xiaoya said, troubled.

Lin Hai whispered into her ear: "CEO, after we get married, I'll teach you how to shoot every day."

Ouyang Xiaoya glanced at him in surprise and said, "Aren't you from the cooking squad? You know how to shoot?"

"Of course, CEO. After we're married, in the bedroom, I'll let you shoot my gun every day, hehe," Lin Hai whispered back with a chuckle.

"Beast, I can't deal with you out here today. Just you wait when we get back," Ouyang Xiaoya, realizing what he meant, glared fiercely at Lin Hai, trying hard to suppress her anger.

Wang Dajun saw Lin Hai whispering intimately with the CEO. Even though he couldn't hear what was being said, a flash of unnamed jealousy crossed his eyes, and he couldn't help but wish to make Lin Hai look foolish.

"Captain Lin, it's been a long time since you've touched a gun, right? How about we have a friendly competition?" Wang Dajun walked up with a smile.

"Forget it, okay?" Lin Hai immediately saw through Wang Dajun's intentions.

However, Camp Commander Li took the opportunity to chime in, turning to Ouyang Xiaoya: "President Ouyang, I heard that Director Lin was also from the security department. He's on par with Dajun. I'd really like to witness the shooting skills of the two great tigers from the Youming Ya Group security department. What do you think?"

To tell the truth, Ouyang Xiaoya didn't have much faith in Lin Hai. What can someone from the cooking squad do? Maybe good enough to start a fire, but given Lin Hai's lazy demeanor, he probably even fudged that. How could such a person have any shooting skills?

"CEO, I'm really not great with guns. Although I've handled it quite a bit when going to the bathroom..." Lin Hai hesitated.

Camp Commander Li and the other soldiers around couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ouyang Xiaoya couldn't stand it anymore.

"Lin Hai, if a man's even scared to handle a gun, is he even a man? Today you have to show me how you shoot," Ouyang Xiaoya said with exasperation.

Lin Hai leaned into the CEO's ear: "CEO, I really can't today. How about when we go home, I'll stand in front of you, trousers down, and demonstrate my shooting skills until you're satisfied? I'm quite skilled, even know some fancy shooting."

Ouyang Xiaoya was fuming with rage. This Beast Lin never showed the courage expected of a man at critical moments.

"No, you must compete with Captain Wang today, or I'll fire you," Ouyang Xiaoya finished, then lowered her voice: "Or do you want to lose face in front of all these people? You are my fiancé after all. I haven't made our engagement public precisely because you're acting like this."

Even a woman who's rational, level-headed, and well-educated cares about face. They all want their men to be strong and superior.

"Sure, I'm not a gold-digger, but I hope you can show some manliness. Even if you lose, what does it matter? I just want you to face challenges head-on. As your fiancée, I won't just stand by when you're willing to confront difficulties. That's one of the true essences of marital life," Ouyang Xiaoya's long-hidden thoughts poured out uncontrollably beneath the mocking gazes of those soldiers laughing at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai was stunned, gave a glance at those soldiers' contemptuous eyes, and suddenly answered: "Fine, I'll compete with him!"
