Zhou Chao might have left without checking the calendar, as the entire journey was congested, turning a half-hour drive into a full hour and a half before arriving at the shooting club. After finding a parking spot, he made his way into the club.

As soon as he entered the club, a young man greeted him, “Sir, hello! It’s a pleasure to serve you!”

“Oh, hello. I’m here to meet someone,” Zhou Chao said directly to the enthusiastic young man.

“Please, follow me!” Zhou Chao followed the young man into the club. After passing through a heavy door, Zhou Chao heard the sound of ping pong balls and couldn’t help but show a hint of curiosity on his face.

After walking through a corridor of about 20 meters, the space suddenly opened up, revealing a shooting range. Zhou Chao could already see Si Cong standing in a shooting position, firing away!

Seeing the guns at the shooting range, excitement welled up in Zhou Chao’s heart. He looked at the young man beside him and asked, “Are all the guns here real?”

“Absolutely real. We’re one of the only two real firearms shooting clubs in the whole Fog City!” The young man assured him.

Hearing the young man’s words, Zhou Chao couldn’t wait to get on the shooting range and fire a few shots. After all, this was something every man wanted to experience, especially those who had played with toy guns in their childhood.

When Zhou Chao saw Si Cong finish shooting, he walked over to him.

At that moment, Si Cong was chatting with a popular internet beauty. Zhou Chao came up behind him and gave him a pat on the back.

“Whoa!” Startled by the tap on his shoulder, Si Cong quickly stood up.

Zhou Chao was also taken aback by Si Cong’s sudden movement. He then said, “Geez, are you trying to scare me to death with your sudden reaction?”

“My dear Master Zhou, it’s been a while. It’s almost been two hours. Did you get stuck in traffic or were you spending time with some beauty?”

“Come on, don’t be like that. You think everyone is like you? Damn, maybe I didn’t check my horoscope before leaving, and 1 got stuck in traffic on the way!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but curse when he remembered the traffic jam.

“Calm down. That’s just how it is in Fog City. You’ll get used to it. By the way, have you ever shot a gun before? Why don’t you give it a try?”

“Of course, I’m going to try. I’ve never done it before. Being able to try it now is like fulfilling a childhood dream!” Zhou Chao replied, heading toward the shooting range. Si Cong quickly followed, and the internet beauty could only silently trail behind them.

“They have a wide range of firearms here, like the M9 pistol, revolver, and the 98k. You can try them all!”

When the two of them reached the shooting range, there were experienced shooting coaches available. Zhou Chao decided to start with a handgun, and the coach began explaining how to load, unlock the safety, aim, and shoot. After listening carefully, Zhou Chao felt confident.

Zhou Chao immediately started his free shooting practice. However, the coach and Si Cong still stood by, watching. Zhou Chao felt satisfied after a while and put on noise-canceling earmuffs. He followed the coach’s instructions and took aim.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!” Zhou Chao fired fifteen shots in a row, emptying the magazine. After checking the handgun, he looked at the two men nearby.

At this moment, both of them were slightly shocked, especially Si Cong, whose mouth was wide open as if it could fit a fist!

“Wow! This is real firearms and live ammunition. Didn’t your hands shake when you were shooting? You’re really amazing!” Si Cong couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed. Zhou Chao had fired fifteen shots in a row without any visible recoil as if the pistol’s recoil had no effect on him!

Even the shooting coach nearby couldn’t help but exclaim, “During my time in the army, I’ve only seen top-level soldiers who can compare to you!”

“No, 1 want to try it too!” Saying this, Si Cong took his place at the shooting position. He wanted to look as cool as Zhou Chao, but reality hit him hard. The recoil of the handgun made Si Cong’s shooting much slower, taking almost a minute or two to complete.

After checking the firearms, Si Cong wore a disappointed expression and looked at Zhou Chao. He then said, “You go ahead and have fun. It’s too frustrating for me. 1’11 chat with the beauty and build some rapport!”

Hearing Si Cong’s words, Zhou Chao and the coach both laughed. They watched as Si Cong headed to the resting area with the internet beauty. Zhou Chao then shifted his gaze to other firearms.

Next, Zhou Chao tried out the revolver, sniper rifle, and assault rifle. Especially when he used the assault rifle, he fired in full auto mode with a standard shooting posture. In less than three seconds, he had emptied the magazine. The coach, who was standing nearby, looked at Zhou Chao with the same expression that Si Cong previously showed: “Monster!”

After discussing with the coach, Zhou Chao turned and walked towards Si Cong, who was engrossed in conversation with the internet beauty.

“Hmm, why did you stop?” Si Cong saw Zhou Chao sitting down and looked at him curiously.

“I’ve tried everything once, and the coach doesn’t have much more to teach me. To improve my shooting accuracy, 1 need to practice more, but there’s no point in practicing here!”

If Si Cong didn’t know that Zhou Chao was being honest, he would have thought he was bragging.

Si Cong looked at the time; it was almost five o’clock. He felt it was getting late and said, “Let’s go, we’ll grab a meal and discuss some matters.”

“Huh? Just the three of us?”

“No, we also have Lao Piao and Xiao Ning. They’re probably already at the restaurant. Let’s go now!”

“Okay, let’s go!” The three of them headed towards the exit. Since Si Cong was a member here, the expenses were deducted directly from his card.

“Where are we having dinner tonight?”

“At the usual place, Huang Gongzi!” Zhou Chao nodded in agreement and headed towards his supercar. A little while later, two Lamborghinis drove out of the shooting club.

They made their way to the restaurant, with some stops along the road, but it was much smoother than Zhou Chao’s earlier journey in the afternoon. By the time they arrived at Huang Gongzi’s restaurant, it was only half-past five.

Si Cong led Zhou Chao and the internet beauty into the private room that had been reserved in advance. As they entered, they spotted Lao Piao and Xiao Ning grinning mischievously while looking at their phones. Zhou Chao could tell that these two were checking out pictures of beautiful women.

Seeing the door to the private room open and the three of them walk in, Lao Piao and Xiao Ning quickly stood up and greeted, “Young Master Zhou, Young Master Cong!”

“We’re all friends here, no need to be so formal!” Zhou Chao heard their greetings and waved his hand, taking a seat.

As it was about time for dinner, Si Cong signaled the waiter to start serving. In no time, the waiter brought out the dishes. Zhou Chao noticed that many of the dishes had been air-shipped from overseas, indicating that Si Cong had put thought into treating him to this meal.

“Before we eat, let me say a few words,” Si Cong turned to Zhou Chao.

“1 really have to thank you this time. If it weren’t for your help, 1 wouldn’t have known how long it would take to resolve this. Xiao Ning, give me the documents!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning quickly took out a document from her bag and handed it to Si Cong. Si Cong then passed it to Zhou Chao.

“What’s this?” Zhou Chao put down his chopsticks and curiously asked as he received the document.

“It’s a stock transfer agreement for a gaming company!”
