Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her!

Chapter 403: Was It Gu Qingjiu?

“... Ah, someone from our school got eliminated again.”

Commander Chen sighed as he looked at his device.

Commander Yang’s countenance remained terrible.

Lu Yimei, too, let out an “ooh” as she held up her device. “Someone on our side was eliminated as well.”

“Finally?”

Commander Chen said with a smile, “I’m surprised the National Military University of China put up such a stable performance this time.”

“I’m surprised too.”

Lu Yimei laughed. “Perhaps we’re just lucky.”

“Lucky...”

Commander Chen’s tone seemed to imply a deeper meaning.

As they were speaking, two people walked over from afar.

Everyone froze.

They thought that both were eliminated separately. No one expected them to be eliminated together.

“Zhu Yuan.”

Lu Yimei called her teammate over.

“Which school eliminated you?”

Zhu Yuan instantly pointed at that Haihe Military University guy beside him. “Him. But while he was hitting me, someone else hit him. There’s something not quite right with this person.”

“Not quite right?”

Lu Yimei frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

While she was asking, Commander Chen’s brows furrowed as well. They heard the same thing.

“The person ran in there to lure others to fire at him, which was how my hideout was exposed. He was quick and had an agile response. I didn’t get to hit him. That was how the Haihe Military University guy discovered me, and yet at the same time that person wiped him out.”

“Lured you into firing at him?”

Lu Yimei was shocked to hear this.

Lu Yibin also found it unbelievable. “How bold is this person to have the guts to lure you guys out?”

He wanted to say ‘wishful thinking,’ but with two successful baited victims standing right in front, Lu Yibin couldn’t say that out loud.

“We usually go for a steady approach. For this person to lure you guys out, they must be a rash and impatient person.”

Lu Yimei grazed her finger over her sharp chin, looking to be deep in thought. “But we’re all experienced here. It’s been five rounds since the newest member entered this competition. Who would abruptly change their tactic? I know everyone from the other two schools’ Shooting Departments. They don’t have this...”

A name suddenly appeared in her mind.

That was why she stopped mid-sentence.

Not only her. Lu Yibin, Zhu Yuan, and all the members behind had one name surface in their minds at the same time.

“It’s Gu Qingjiu.”

Lu Yibin was stunned and in disbelief. “But she’s a newbie. How could she have the guts...”

There was a glow in Lu Yimei’s eyes as she spoke in a hushed tone, lest Commander Chen, and the rest heard her. “Zhu Yuan, tell me, how fast was that person’s response exactly? The moment when you were eliminated—tell me in as much detail as you can remember.”

Zhu Yuan, too, realized that a scary thought formed in Lu Yimei’s mind. Hence, without any further ado, he told her everything he could sense at that time.

“I was hiding behind a tree and behind me were tree branches... similar to dense spider webs. Hiding there was pretty much very safe, but then this person suddenly appeared. The speed at which he ran wasn’t that fast, but the instant I fired a shot at him, he speedily rolled over. This was why I didn’t manage to hit him.

“I then followed up with another shot, but by then he had already hid behind a tree. Hence why I missed both times.”
