Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 671 "Storm" - Lu Mingzhe

At this moment, Guan Youbo was in deep struggle.

He looked down at the gun in his hand and couldn't help but wonder: Even if he got a real gun, could he really hurt Watson?

He had just witnessed Watson's skills and reaction speed.

The tactical qualities and shooting skills displayed by the opponent in the game were almost impeccable.

Guan Youbo knew that he only had one chance to shoot.

Once Watson finds out that the bullet is real, he will not continue the game stupidly, but will hide quickly.

With Watson's skills and speed, there was no possibility for Guan Youbo to catch up.

Thinking of this, a feeling of despair surged in Guan Youbo's heart.

He began to question whether he could actually complete the mission successfully.

If they couldn't kill Watson, would that group of people really send him away from Hong Kong Island as promised?

Or will they turn against me?

After all, he had already received their money, and if he didn't take action, the other party would never let him go easily.

Guan Youbo's mind was in a mess and he had no idea what to do.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the gun handle, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He knew that he had embarked on a path of no return, but at this moment he could not see any way out.

Shao Anna, who was standing beside him, keenly noticed Guan Youbo's abnormality.

She looked at Guan Youbo's pale face and furrowed brows, feeling a little uneasy.

However, she quickly suppressed this uneasiness, thinking that Guan Youbo was nervous because of the pressure of the competition.

So, she gently patted Guan Youbo's shoulder and said softly, "Youbo, don't take it too seriously. The two people who just competed are both super elites of the police force and have rich practical experience."

"You are completely different from them. You practice IPSC shooting methods, while they practice actual combat shooting. The effects of the two are completely different, so you don't have to care too much about the results."

When Guan Youbo heard Shao Anna's words, he forced a smile.

He opened his mouth, wanting to tell her the whole truth, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

He couldn't tell Shao Anna that he had been involved in a deadly conspiracy, nor could he tell her that he might never be able to be with her again.

This feeling of powerlessness and shame almost suffocated him.

Finally, Guan Youbo could only whisper: "Anna, don't worry, I'm fine."

Shao Anna smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness and trust: "Well, I believe you. You have entered the top ten, which is already a very remarkable result. So, don't put too much pressure on yourself. No matter what the final result is, you are the pride in my heart."

Hearing this, Guan Youbo's body trembled slightly, and the expression on his face became extremely unnatural.

He lowered his head, not daring to look Shao Anna in the eye.

He knew that no matter whether today's mission was successful or not, there was no future between him and Shao Anna.

If he succeeds in killing Watson, he will have to flee Hong Kong Island and leave Shao Anna forever; if he fails, what may await him is imprisonment or even death.

No matter what the outcome, he would never be able to return to Shao Anna.

Guan Youbo's heart was filled with pain and regret.

He regretted why he got involved in this conspiracy and why he accepted the money.

But now, there is no going back.

He could only grit his teeth and keep going, even though there was a bottomless abyss ahead.

Seeing that Guan Youbo was silent, Shao Anna thought he was still frustrated about the game, so she gently held his hand and said softly, "Youbo, don't think too much. The game is just a game. What matters is that you tried your best. No matter what the result is, I will always support you."

Guan Youbo felt the warmth of Shao Anna's palm, and his heart became even more sad.

He knew that he could no longer enjoy this warmth. He forced a smile and whispered, "Thank you, Anna."

Shao Anna smiled and was about to say something else when the host of the competition suddenly announced that the next round was about to begin.

Guan Youbo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that he had no way out.

No matter what is waiting for him ahead, he has no choice but to move forward.

The competition at this time was between Zhou Xingxing, who was ranked sixth, and a sharpshooter from the police force.

"Okay, Anna, the game is about to start, let's watch the game. I need to study the possible opponents in the next round."

Shao Anna looked at Guan Youbo's profile, feeling a little uneasy, but she quickly suppressed the uneasiness, nodded silently and said, "Well, let's watch the game."

Guan Youbo felt very heavy in his heart, like a small boat in a storm that could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.

He knew that every next step would determine his own fate.

And he can only continue to move forward on this road of no return.

Among the top ten list, except Watson who ranked first, Zhou Xingxing who ranked sixth, Ma Jun who ranked ninth, and He Wenzhan who ranked tenth are all qualified to participate in this competition.

When Watson and Ling Jing walked out of the competition venue together, they happened to meet Zhou Xingxing and another sharpshooter from the police force.

Zhou Xingxing shouted excitedly: "Hua Sir, how do you feel? Is this game exciting?"

"You'll know when you go in and experience it." Watson said with a smile.

The sharpshooter from the police team next to him also looked at Watson with surprise and said, "Hello, Mr. Hua. I am Senior Inspector Lui Ming-che of the Central Police Station's Serious Crime Unit. I have heard of your name a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to meet you."

Watson looked at the other person's face, which was somewhat similar to Andy's, and immediately realized that this was definitely another character in the plot.

He immediately smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Sir Lu!"

Lu Mingzhe also immediately stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Watson.

"Mr. Hua, I saw your performance just now. A great reputation is a real honor. I don't have any hope of winning the championship this time. I just hope to advance to the next round!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xingxing immediately said arrogantly: "You think too much. You can't even make it through this round, and you're still thinking about the next round. Next, let me, the former number one killer of the Flying Tigers, tell you that there are always people who are better than you, and there are always things better than you, ahahaha!"

Looking at Zhou Xingxing's silly look, Watson's mouth twitched, but he also understood that this was Zhou Xingxing. If he didn't have such a personality, he wouldn't be called Zhou Xingxing.

When Lu Mingzhe heard Zhou Xingxing's words, he smiled slightly, not caring about it. He just looked at Hua Sheng sincerely and said, "Hua Sir, I will try my best. If possible, I would like to compete with you in person."
