Stuck in a Chinese novel

Chapter 47: Reports of the aftermath

"You're not right either." Quan Li said but her voice went up a few hitches. That was her thirteenth mistake today and Zhan Yi was also going hard in the competition.

"Cut!" Wei Jun spoke in a microphone but didn't get angry. He knew what was plaguing them and understood what they were going through. However, he wasn't going to let them get over it with time. He needed to teach them how to get over it.

"Wrap up the set. We will continue tomorrow." Wei Jun delivered an order that was swiftly put in motion.

"I… I can do it, boss." Quan Li urged, knowing she was the one making mistakes.

"Wrap up the set." Wei Jun repeated to assert his order before he added, "Be in the gym at seven." Wei Jun said before he left. Xia Lu and Quan Kui went to console her while Xiao Heiling also talked with Zhan Yi.

Wei Jun, on the other hand, made his way to the gun dealer in his car. Upon arriving, he went through the same secret procedure to get into the shop. The man, Zi Huan, who was busy with setting a gun, stopped doing that and turned to him upon hearing someone enter.

"Welcome. Wasn't expecting you so soon." He said before he asked, "Did the Acetone acid help?"

"It worked like a charm and blew up like a mind on adrenaline." Wei Jun replied with a straight face.

"A strange example but I guess it fits." Zi Huan said before he asked, "So, what brings you here today?" Wei Jun was a very generous buyer and he left no traces as well. Zi Huan wanted to be a good seller to a good customer.

"Last time you said that the heavy stuff…" Wei Jun didn't complete his sentence to let the man cover it for him, "Well, the heavy still isn't here but a sniper range did arrive. Would you like to see it?"

"Sure." Wei Jun replied.

Zi Huan showed Wei Jun some snipers but Wei Jun wasn't impressed with their functions. Some were too high in intensity but low in efficiency. Some didn't give the same power output he desired and some had their alignment all strange.

Wei Jun didn't have to worry about the guns being traced to him so he wanted to buy a good one, unlike a hitman who would only use a gun once because they would have to discard it later.

"What's that?" Wei Jun asked, pointing at a gun in the back.

"That? That's a rip-off is what it is." Zi Huan said in anger before he took the gun and placed it on the counter. Immediately, Wei Jun noticed the lack of a scope.

"Military made, with Qi strands infusion. This baby would shoot through the metals of all kinds and give the frikcing concrete a run for its money." Zi Huan stopped at this point and made sure Wei Jun was all caught up who was looking straight back at him. Zi Huan exhaled and said, "But there's a catch."

"No scope." Wei Jun figured.

"No scope." Zi Huan replied, confirming Wei Jun's answer. "In the first place, this gun was made for cultivator soldiers and they could for sure take the recoil, however…"

"The recoil to the gun itself is equally strong." Wei Jun once again completed the sentence.

"Exactly. The recoil to the gun before it is passed to the shooter is enormous but since it is made of Qi crystals, the body can take it, but the scope cannot be made from Qi crystals or at least the glass cannot be so it shatters every time a shot is taken." Zi Huan explained.

Wei Jun nodded and took the gun from the counter. It was very heavy even with his strength stat almost maxed out but he could at least pick it up. This also made him realize that Zi Huan wasn't ordinary if he could pick up that gun easily.

Wei Jun did a few tries, checked the chamber and trigger, and after a few tests, he was very satisfied with it. He put the gun back on the counter and said, "I like it." Before he raised his head to look at Zi Huan and added, "Why don't you tell me the rest of the information you are itching to?"

Zi Huan chuckled and replied, "And here I thought I could get it past you. You really are sharp," Zi Huan said before he procured a box from underneath the counter. Inside the box were thirteen bullets, "The gun is military-made so I'm sure you have already figured out that it isn't untraceable.

The military serial number cannot be removed no matter what and the untraceable counterfeit made like this aren't even worth shit compared to this beauty."

"That's why it's a rip-off." Wei Jun commented.

"Exactly. I mean, I can't sell a gun when it can be traced back to me but I couldn't resist buying it because of its rarity." Zi Huan said before he picked one bullet from the box and said, "Another bad point of this gun is the limitation of bullets. The bullets aren't infinite and hella expensive since only the military can make them, not to mention the number of Qi crystals used for them."

Wei Jun nodded at all the aspects and asked, "So if I want to buy it, for how much will you give it to me?"

"Weren't you listening when I said this gun can be traced back to me?" Zi Huan quipped.

"You don't have to worry about that. I won't use it in a place where it can be traced." Wei Jun replied.

Zi Huan was still skeptical so he said, "I will think about it."

Wei Jun didn't pursue the matter and said, "Since the things I needed haven't arrived yet, I will take this one for now and visit you some other day." Wei Jun pointed at a sniper rifle that was better than all the others after the monstrous one he had seen.

"Sure. Visit me in three days, I will have everything you need." Zi Huan said while preparing the gun Wei Jun had asked for.

Wei Jun left the place and headed to his office where he did nothing but work.

"Report." Wei Jun said to Li Wei after he was done with the official business.

"Na Tong hasn't regained consciousness yet but there are eyewitnesses putting you and her in the restaurant. The police would confirm that lead once she woke up and for now, they are considering you the prime suspect." Li Wei reported about the Na Tong incident.

"And?" Wei Jun didn't care and asked to move on.

"The hired biker that was handed to the police after severe injuries from his fall has not given any testimony so far and the chief of police is also not pursuing this matter very seriously." She reported on the next agenda.

"Of course, he wouldn't." Wei Jun remarked. The chief of police was involved in this incident. Had he pursued this issue with Wei Jun, he would have received the same treatment.

Also, Wei Jun wasn't worried about him because the flash drive he obtained from Yao Tian's vault had evidence against almost every official of the city from the mayor to some judges, layers, and detectives as well. If that compromising evidence were to be leaked, Half of the city officials would lose their everything and even face jail time. Just that was reassuring enough.

"Move on." Wei Jun said.

"As you expected, the Tian family is moving all their reserves from all the locations to one secure location. Unfortunately, that place is guarded by cultivators so it would be very difficult to do anything about it." Li Wei next reported.

Wei Jun nodded. He understood the matter at hand. There was no way that after their reserve had been targeted, they would leave the spots as they were. If someone knew of one spot, there was a probability they knew of all the other locations. Moving it from those points to one secure location that would be easy to guard was a good decision.

But Wei Jun had already expected it but he was going to leave it alone for now until he could arrange a distraction and it had to be a big one. Luckily, Wei Jun already planned one but it would take some time so he was putting this issue aside.

"Keep an eye on everything and let me know the progress, especially from the police since I would need to prepare. That's it. You can go." Wei Jun said.

But Li Wei had another thing to report so she stopped, "There's another thing, boss."

"What?" Wei Jun asked.

"The party by the Na family is scheduled for this weekend. As you instructed, your name has been put on the list." Li Wei reported.

Wei Jun nodded and asked her to leave. Once she was gone, Wei Jun said out loud, "So he's here, huh?"

[Seems that way, host]

'Good. Let's wreak some havoc in his life then.' Wei Jun thought inwardly with a sinister smile.
