You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Su Qingge led Lin Chen and pushed open the seemingly ordinary wooden door.

Inside the door lies another world.

There was no luxurious decor, no valuable antiques.

The furnishings were extremely simple.

A huge military map hung on the wall, covered with dense arrows and symbols marked in red and blue pencils, exuding a chilling atmosphere of war and battle.

Next to the map hung a sheathed military knife. The sheath was simple and unadorned, yet it could not conceal the chilling aura that seemed to emanate from it.

In the center of the living room, an elderly man dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit sat upright in a mahogany armchair.

His hair was gray, but his back was as straight as a javelin piercing the sky.

He didn't look at the two people who entered; he just kept his head down, intently wiping an old Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand with a white cloth.

The gun body was worn smooth and shiny by the passage of time, and every part exuded a cold, metallic feel.

It was Su Qingge's grandfather, a founding general, Su Dingguo.

On the other side, Su Qingge's father, Su Jianjun, the current head of the Huadong City Public Security Bureau, stood upright with a respectful expression, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Grandpa, Dad, we're here."

Su Qingge's voice, tinged with barely perceptible tension, broke the deathly silence in the room.

However, Su Dingguo still did not look up.

He simply continued cleaning his gun, as if the whole world consisted only of him and his old companion who had accompanied him through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

An invisible pressure filled the entire room.

That was the aura of a leader forged through battles and decisive maneuvers amidst millions of soldiers and through the crucible of gunfire.

An ordinary person standing here would probably be trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

Su Qingge's heart was in her throat.

She subconsciously looked at Lin Chen, afraid that he would be frightened by his grandfather's display of power.

But Lin Chen's reaction surprised her once again.

This guy wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he acted like nothing was wrong, with his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the military knife on the wall with great interest, even with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Just then.

Su Dingguo suddenly stopped wiping the gun.

next second!

With a flick of his wrist, the heavy rifle became as light as a feather in his hand. The dark muzzle rose without warning and pointed precisely at Lin Chen's forehead!

In that instant, all the air in the living room was sucked out!

"grandfather!"

Su Qingge gasped in surprise, her face turning deathly pale. Without thinking, she rushed forward to shield Lin Chen.

Su Jianjun's pupils also constricted sharply, and his heart almost stopped beating!

However, Lin Chen remained completely still.

He didn't even blink.

The moment the cold muzzle of the gun locked onto him, he remained with one hand in his pocket, only slowly turning his head to meet Su Dingguo's sharp, eagle-like eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

There was no fear, no panic, only a bottomless calm.

Lin Chen's lips even curled into a faint smile.

He spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Sir, your gun isn't on safety."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the minds of Su Qingge and Su Jianjun!

The two of them looked at the gun's receiver at the same time... and sure enough, the safety was off!

This kid... how did he figure that out?!

A crack finally appeared on Su Dingguo's usually impassive face.

He stared intently at Lin Chen, as if trying to see right through him.

A few seconds later.

He abruptly lowered his gun, and the suffocating pressure vanished.

"Snapped!"

Su Dingguo slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of the armchair, making a loud bang.

Immediately, a loud, booming laugh erupted.

"Hahaha! Great!"

"Good lad!"

Su Dingguo laughed loudly.

"Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, your expression will not change; even if a deer runs past on your left, your eyes will not blink! That kind of courage alone is a million times stronger than those effeminate young people of today!"

His gaze toward Lin Chen was filled with undisguised admiration.

"However, having guts alone isn't enough to become my granddaughter's husband, Su Dingguo!"

Su Dingguo changed the subject, his eyes sharpening once more.

"They also need to have guts! And real skills!"

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Lei Zhan walked in, clutching his still slightly trembling right hand, his face extremely grim.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Dingguo's admiring look towards Lin Chen, and the jealousy and resentment in his heart burned even more fiercely.

"Commander!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his hand, Lei Zhan stood at attention and saluted Su Dingguo, then pointed at Lin Chen through gritted teeth.

"The newspapers are exaggerating his shot from 800 meters away! I suspect he's just a show-off!"

"I want to invite him to the shooting range to test his skills and see if he's truly capable or just a showy, empty-headed fighter!"

This is a blatant complaint, and a desperate attempt to provoke him!

Having lost in terms of strength, he was determined to win back his pride and joy with his marksmanship!

Su Dingguo's gaze fell on Lin Chen, his eyes carrying a hint of questioning amusement.

"grandfather!"

Su Qingge panicked and grabbed Lin Chen's arm, speaking to Su Dingguo.

"Lin Chen came to our house for dinner, not to be made a fool of!"

"You won't dare anymore?"

Upon seeing this, Lei Zhan immediately let out a cold laugh, his contempt undisguised.

"Where did that crazy energy go? What, now that it's for real, you're afraid of being exposed?"

"So, you're going to hide behind a woman?"

Su Qingge blushed with anger and was about to retort.

A warm, large hand gently pressed down on her shoulder, pulling her behind him without any room for argument.

Lin Chen looked at the furious Lei Zhan and smiled.

That smile, seemingly nonchalant, carried a hint of mockery that sent chills down Lei Zhan's spine.

"Since Captain Lei wants to play so much..."

He slowly adjusted the cuffs of his expensive suit and spoke calmly.

"Then I'll play with you."

"but……"

Lin Chen raised his eyes, his gaze calmly landing on Lei Zhan's face.

"Don't cry if you lose."

"you!"

Lei Zhan was so choked by those words that his face turned red with anger, and he trembled with rage, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

"good!"

Su Dingguo suddenly stood up from the armchair, his tall figure exuding an astonishing aura.

He waved his hand dramatically, his voice booming like thunder!

"To the firing range!"

"I'll see which of you two is the dragon and which is the worm!"
