Chapter 136
Ouyang Bing looked up to Xiao Potian only to find that he was staring forward with a poker face, and the gun in his hand was pointed at where Ge Ping and the nurse were.
And then, Ouyang Bing caught the glimpse of everyone's startled face with all their eyes fixed in the same direction as Xiao Potian, where she believed stood Ge Ping and the female nurse.
That was enough to turn the head of Ouyang Bing.
The next thing into her eyes was Ge Ping, a rigid version. His eyes were at their widest, filled with horror, doubt, and distrust.
Look up and you would see a bloody hole on his forehead.
That's right. A bullet made a thorough trip through his forehead.
Presumably, Ouyang Bing was shocked to her very core.
All the bystanders, including Chu Yuxin and Wang Shihan, were not any calmer than her.
Just ten seconds ago, they were still expecting how Xiao Potian would shoot Ouyang Bing's leg, wide-eyed out of curiosity. And all of a sudden, Xiao Potian directed the gun and shot at Ge Ping at the last moment.
It was a surprise attack for everyone.
No one would've predicted that Xiao Potian planned to abruptly point the gun at the criminal, under whose control the hostage was shaking in fear, in the name of shooting Ouyang Bing.
Of course, everyone was caught off guard. And Ge Ping was no exception.
Despite that he took the nurse hostage, he was not fully shielded from the bullet because of the height difference between them.
Half of his forehead was exposed, right above the top of the nurse.
Discovering the Achille's heel, Xiao Potian came up with the plan to shoot him by pretending to shoot Ouyang Bing so that he could grab her gun to make that happen.
As a warlord with numerous battle experiences, he is a crack shot and never misses the target. Half of a forehead would suffice.
He only shot when he was 100% sure about it.
All he wanted for such a human trafficker was to burn in hell. As for a trial? Don't even bother.
Admittedly, the main factor that drove him to kill was about saving the nurse.
The criminal was way too emotionally unstable, which is a ticking bomb for the nurse if he was left unattended.
All in all, he fired a shot at him, a fatal one.
While all the people were still stuck in their astonishment, Xiao Potian threw the gun onto the ground and dashed to the nurse like a speedy ghost.
That was because the criminal was about to fall due to a bullet through his head. Dismaying was the fact that the edgy broken glass was still pressed against the nurse's neck and he was still strapping her with his handcuffs.
That way, the criminal's falling backward means dragging the nurse with him. And when they hit the ground, it was very likely that the nurse would get stabbed in her neck by the broken glass in his hand.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Potian was already in front of the nurse. And then he snatched the broken bottle from Ge Ping and raised his handcuffed hands up and over Su Xiaotong's top.
It was until then that Ge Ping faltered before he fell slowly backward, face up.
When he finally placed himself on the ground, people see his wide eyes, but not his chest moving up and down.
He died with unfinished business. He was so close to the completion of his plan. God knows why there would be someone who dared to shoot at him even though he was hiding behind a female hostage. And he didn't miss the target! What are the odds?
The hole in his forehead was seen with a few hairs from the nurse.
That demonstrated the route the bullet took--through some of the nurse's hair and into his forehead.
Chu Yuxin couldn't be more astonished when she witnessed that Xiao Potian shot dead the criminal with just one shot. Even though she came to realize the prowess of his swordsmanship last night, she never got the chance to see him shooting. And it's just as amazing.
Wang Shihan was sharing that shock with her, too. Back at the night when they were in the Fairy Land, she saw Fan Gang's shooting, but not Xiao Potian's. She never knew that his shooting is so exceptional.
Well, if someone can beat them on being stunned, it would be Ouyang Bing. Her shooting skill is undeniably the No.1 in the Hu Fa Committee and she wouldn't have the guts to shoot with a hostage involved. Yet Xiao Potian, such a loser as everyone deemed, did just what she dared not to do. He shot at the criminal and killed him on the first try.
Is it about his uncanny marksmanship or merely luck?
On the other side, Su Xiaotong was still struggling to come to. She couldn't believe she was still breathing.
Just now, she was feeling a bullet cutting through the air above her head after she saw Xiao Potian suddenly shot in her direction. So, she thought, "God, that must've gotten me."
"There, there. You're safe now." Xiao Potian solaced Su Xiaotong, who seemed to be frozen with confusion and fear.
Su Xiaotong turned her head in a clumsy manner. The next moment, the dead body of the wide-eyed criminal covered in his blood gave her goosebumps all over her body.
