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

On the firing range, even the sound of the wind seemed to stand still.

Everyone's breath was choked by the phrase "there is only one hole in the bullseye".

Even Su Jianjun, the city bureau chief who had seen his share of storms, could not maintain his composure at this moment, and the fingers gripping the armrest turned slightly white from the force.

He knew Lin Chen was strong, but he never expected him to be this strong to such an inhuman degree!

Su Qingge's beautiful phoenix eyes were wide open at this moment, and her long eyelashes trembled incessantly.

Looking at the calm and collected man beside her, the dam of reason in her heart collapsed at that moment!

The torrent of worship burst its banks and completely overwhelmed her.

Just how many secrets is this man hiding?

He was like a bottomless whirlpool, drawing her irresistibly closer and deeper, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.

Lin Chen slowly lowered the gun, the wisp of smoke from the muzzle mirroring his calm and composed state of mind.

He turned around and looked at Lei Zhan, who was now ashen-faced and completely dejected.

"Captain Lei."

Lin Chen's voice was calm, yet it struck Lei Zhan's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Thank you for your concession."

Concession?

Lei Zhan's body shuddered violently, and all the color drained from his face.

These two words made him feel more ashamed than any mockery or humiliation.

His pride as a king of soldiers was shattered by this unbelievable scene, and could never be pieced back together.

Faced with absolute divine skill, everything he was proud of became a joke.

silence.

Dead silence.

After a full half minute, Lei Zhan seemed to have used up all his strength to slowly raise his head.

He looked at Lin Chen, his eyes no longer filled with the hostility and disdain of before, but only with a deep-seated awe and shock.

"Snapped!"

Lei Zhan took a deep breath and slammed his heels together, making a crisp sound!

He straightened his mountain-like body, solemnly raised his right hand towards Lin Chen, and gave a perfectly standard military salute!

"I lost!"

Lei Zhan's voice was hoarse, but every word was firm and resounding!

I'm completely convinced!

"From this day forward, you are the King of Soldiers!"

This scene made all the guards present gasp in shock.

They knew Lei Zhan's character all too well; he was the kind of person who would rather die standing than live on his knees!

The fact that he had to admit defeat in public only shows that the strength of his opponent was beyond his comprehension, crushing all his dignity and will to resist!

Lin Chen looked at him calmly.

He didn't say much, but simply raised his hand and returned a standard military salute to this respectable soldier.

There was no kicking someone when they were down, nor was there any pressing of the victory.

This composure deepened the respect in Lei Zhan's eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Just then, Su Dingguo's loud, bell-like laughter broke the silence of the shooting range!

He strode forward, his large, fan-like hand slamming heavily onto Lin Chen's shoulder with a fierce gust of wind!

"Snapped!"

A muffled thud!

Su Qingge's heart clenched.

That's enough to knock down a cow!

However, Lin Chen's figure only swayed slightly before he remained as steady as Mount Tai.

"Good lad!"

Instead of restraining himself, Su Dingguo patted the table even harder, his eyes filled with barely suppressed admiration and ecstasy!

"That marksmanship! Amazing!"

"If I had your skill back in the day, I would have wiped out that bunch of sons of bitches' command post!"

The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, spittle flying everywhere.

He whirled around, glaring at his granddaughter who was so ashamed she was practically burying her head in the ground, and roared like thunder:

"Qingge!"

"I accept this grandson-in-law!"

"From today onwards, anyone who dares to oppose me, I'll shoot them dead!"

These words were even more powerful than the gunshot, completely stunning Su Qingge.

Her cheeks flushed red to her ears in an instant, like ripe apples, and heat rose straight to the top of her head.

"Grandpa! What...what nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Qingge was both ashamed and anxious, stamping her feet as if she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

……

As dusk fell, the city lights began to illuminate the night.

The atmosphere in the Su family's restaurant was extremely lively.

For the first time ever, Su Dingguo took out his treasured Moutai, a special edition bottle that had been kept for thirty years and was almost patina-covered, and personally filled Lin Chen's glass.

"Come on! Good lad, this cup is for you, Grandpa!"

The more the old man looked at Lin Chen, the more satisfied he became.

He kept putting food on Lin Chen's plate, asking about everything from his family background to his personal hobbies; it was practically a large-scale "grandson-in-law interview."

Although Lei Zhan lost, soldiers have always admired the strong.

He completely put aside his grudges, picked up his wine glass, and walked sincerely to Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin... I was blind to your greatness before. I'll punish myself with three drinks as an apology!"

After saying that, he downed three cups in quick succession, displaying remarkable generosity.

Su Jianjun sat to the side, watching the harmonious scene, and felt a mix of emotions.

He picked up his wine glass and asked, seemingly casually:

"Lin Chen, are you interested in officially joining our police force?"

"With your abilities, being a consultant is a waste of your talent."

"As long as you nod, I'll process the paperwork for you right away. Rank and benefits are not a problem."

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, politely declining.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Director Su, but I'm used to being lazy, so I'd rather be a consultant and have more freedom."

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Grandpa Su Dingguo was clearly drunk; his face was flushed and his eyes were somewhat glazed.

He grabbed Lin Chen's hand, slurred his words, and patted his chest, saying:

"Good...good brother!"

"From now on, you are my half-brother!"

"Come on, let's become sworn brothers right here today!"

"Dad! You've had too much to drink!"

Su Jianjun rushed over, both amused and exasperated, and managed to persuade the old man, who was about to kowtow to Lin Chen, to return to his room.

It was late at night.

Lin Chen got up to say goodbye.

"I send you."

Su Qingge, who had been silent all along with a faint blush on her cheeks, suddenly spoke.

The two walked side by side on the quiet tree-lined path in the military compound.

The cool evening breeze dispelled the effects of the alcohol, but also stirred up the hearts of some.

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows that stretched the two figures into long, long shadows.
