Chapter 21: The shot actually missed?



A smile crept across Jiang Haochang's lips. It really was that stupid woman.

A million isn't much in his eyes, but giving it to a woman like this would be too wasteful. He'll just have to make do for now; he'll have plenty of ways to deal with this stupid woman later.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. Take as many screenshots as you like, and I'll come to your place to get some food later."

Once the food was available, Jiang Haochang's mood instantly brightened, and he slapped his girlfriend's round bottom.

"My little beauty, I'm going out to get some food in a bit. You know what to do after I eat."

Jiang Haochang revealed a wicked smile.

His girlfriend understood perfectly well what Jiang Haochang was thinking. She gave him a sweet, flirtatious wink and climbed into bed without hesitation.

Jiang Haochang went to Qiao Lianyi's place to get food, while on the other side, a group of people were heading to Qin Bai's place, also preparing to get food.

Cao Fengjiao was still leading the way, after all, she considered herself a minor leader here, and with so many people around, Qin Bai wouldn't dare to do anything, no matter how bold he was.

They arrived at Qin Bai's house in a menacing manner, and Cao Fengjiao immediately and violently pounded on the door with her fists.

"Qin Bai, come out quickly, we've come to get the food!"

This demeanor doesn't look like someone coming to ask for a favor at all; it looks more like bandits entering a village.

Qin Bai frowned when he heard the noise outside the door.

Although he believed that his newly installed security door could keep these people out, it was still troublesome if they kept harassing him at the door.

He knew it was time to show his strength!

If he continues to remain lukewarm, no one will fear him.

If you're not afraid, these kinds of troubles will keep happening.

The next second, a short crossbow appeared in his hand. He took out ten arrows and mounted them.

With a click, the crossbow bolt was installed; all he had to do was pull the trigger to fire it!

This is a repeating crossbow, and one of the best crossbow bolts available.

Qin Bai opened the door, his hands were empty.

He glanced around and said calmly, "What is it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get the food out right now, it's freezing outside."

Cao Fengjiao was not friendly at all, and even tried to push Qin Bai away and walk straight in.

But Qin Bai didn't move. Instead, he flipped his right hand and a crossbow bolt appeared in his hand, the arrowhead aimed at Cao Fengjiao's forehead!

"Did I say I was going to take the food out? Hmm?"

Cao Fengjiao was terrified. When had she ever experienced anything like this?

Was a crossbow bolt pointed at his head?

Is this a movie shoot?

The people behind Cao Fengjiao were also frightened. They thought this matter was simple, and with so many people coming, they didn't believe Qin Bai wouldn't take out the food.

Unexpectedly, Qin Bai suddenly produced a crossbow bolt, which was now aimed at Cao Fengjiao's head.

If he's not careful, Cao Fengjiao might lose her head!

"Young man, calm down. This is a society governed by law. If you really hurt someone, you could go to jail!"

An old man hurriedly offered some advice.

Then……

Qin Bai's crossbow bolt was aimed at him.

"Are you trying to shield her from disaster?"

The old man shut his mouth and silently shrank behind the others.

The crossbow bolt was aimed at Cao Fengjiao again. Cao Fengjiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but at this temperature, it quickly froze into ice, making her shiver.

"Qin...Qin Bai, don't be impulsive. We just came to ask for your help, we don't mean anything else."

Cao Fengjiao forced a weak smile, managing to pull at the corners of her mouth.

She was genuinely worried that if Qin Bai lost his grip even slightly, she would be doomed!

If she had known Qin Bai was so reckless, she would never have come. She could have just sent someone else.

"help?"

Qin Bai smiled, but it was a cold smile.

"A group of people came to my place to take food without my permission, and that's what you call helping?"

"How about I change the word to something else, like 'how about we go with the purchase'? Doesn't that sound much better?"

Qin Bai's words made some people lower their heads in shame.

But most people still don't care at all.

"Qin Bai, stop pretending. Do you even have the guts to shoot? Go ahead and shoot! Believe me, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail!"

The one who spoke was one of Cao Fengjiao's henchmen, while the burly man no longer dared to look Qin Bai in the eye.

He was startled by Qin Bai while he was shoveling snow. If it weren't for so many people coming, he would never have come over even if you beat him to death.

Cao Fengjiao was so angry she almost cursed, "You fucking shot me, not you, what are you so arrogant about!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a crossbow bolt flew out, but instead of landing on Cao Fengjiao's forehead, it struck the henchman's thigh.

The arrow pierced straight into his thigh, possibly even hitting the bone. The next second, the young man let out a shrill scream, clutching his thigh and crying out in agony.

Everyone around was shocked by Qin Bai's actions; he actually dared to make a move!

But just then, they heard Qin Bai's regretful voice: "It missed?"

These words sent chills down their spines. Had the shot missed?

So where were you originally aiming to shoot?

Heart, or brain?

They originally just wanted to use their numbers to intimidate others, but who would have thought that Qin Bai would be so reckless and attack without warning.

After that, no one dared to mention taking the food again.

They picked up the injured man and slunk away.

After they left, Qin Bai smiled disdainfully and was about to close the door when his neighbor opened the door a crack, and a woman who looked to be in her thirties poked her head out.

"Qin Bai, are you alright? I think I heard someone shouting just now?"

Qin Bai calmly put away the crossbow bolts and smiled amicably at the young woman, "Sister Lu, it's nothing, just a little trouble."

"By the way, Sister Lu, do you have enough food at home? I have some here, you can share some with me."

Sister Lu, whose full name is Xia Lulu, is a single mother.

Her child was only a few months old, and in order to take care of the child, she had to quit her job and stay at home, making a living through online jobs.

In the past, she knew that Qin Bai was an orphan who was struggling on his own, and she would help him out from time to time.

While there was no great favor, there were certainly many small ones.

They went back to their hometown a while ago, and only returned two days before the apocalypse.

Although Qin Bai couldn't help them all the time, it wouldn't be a problem for him to repay them appropriately.

Xia Lulu looked a little embarrassed: "I know you have a lot of food, but you bought it at a high price. I can pay for it..."

"Sister Lu, you're being too polite. When I had no food, you helped me out for a while before I could get paid. Now that you're in trouble, what's a little help from me?"
