Chapter 537 A Refined Young Lady from the Republican Era Gets the Male and Female Protagonists Killed (39)
Zhao Hanying took a deep breath. No matter what, she was absolutely certain of one thing: if Jin Shu could do it, she certainly couldn't do it either. As a highly educated student, how could she be inferior to a feudal woman with bound feet?!
So she turned around and pointed the gun at Gao Yu.
All eyes were once again focused on her.
Unlike her previous confidence and composure, Zhao Hanying's hand holding the gun was trembling slightly. However, she was never lacking in confidence, so after confirming that she had the target, Zhao Hanying fired the second shot without hesitation.
"Bang!"
The apple in his right hand shattered instantly.
This scene instantly boosted Zhao Hanying's confidence, so she didn't hesitate to point the gun at the apple in Gao Yu's left hand in the shortest amount of time.
The gun in her hand was burning hot, but Zhao Hanying calmly pulled the trigger.
Suddenly, the gun in her hand heated up rapidly, and a terrifying heat spread from the muzzle to the butt. With a huge explosion, Zhao Hanying screamed and released the gun. Before anyone could react to what had happened, a bullet was flung out by Zhao Hanying and then aimed at Gao Yu's left hand with incredible speed.
"Bang--!"
After the gunshots, the distant sound of a man's painful roars and screams could be heard.
"Ah—!! My hand!! My hand!!"
Following the sound, everyone couldn't help but frown in regret.
Gao Yu's entire left hand was riddled with bullet holes.
The apple in his hand fell to the ground unharmed, its surface splattered with a large amount of blood.
Fifty meters is far too close for a gun with a range of nearly two hundred meters.
Piercing and destroying a hand is an easy task.
"His hand is beyond saving."
"It's rotten to the point of being nothing but bits of flesh, how could it possibly be saved?"
"General Liu has really lost both his wife and his army. Not only did the gun go off accidentally, but he also ruined the future of a major general."
Soldiers without hands are basically useless.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but this was the birthday banquet of Marshal Liu's mother. To make such a fool of himself and lose face at such a banquet made the guests feel embarrassed for him.
In the end, Jiang Beilou was the first to speak.
"Failure is common in war. Commander Liu, who has risen to such a high position, certainly wouldn't take such a small mistake to heart."
We are all here to celebrate your mother's birthday. I, Jiang, would like to wish your mother a long and healthy life, and all the best.
If you need any help with firearms and ammunition in the future, the Beilou Chamber of Commerce will still welcome you at any time.
It's getting late, I'll be going now.
Before leaving, Jiang Beilou put his arm around Jin Shu's waist from behind and very gentlemanly saw her into the car. He then got into Jin Shu's car in front of everyone.
This kind of treatment is not something an ordinary lover can receive.
For a time, everyone was talking about this influential figure in BH City.
After Jiang Beilou took the lead, the others also got up to say goodbye and leave.
In the end, only Commander Liu remained, sitting in the main seat with a livid face and a cold, terrifying gaze, which swept directly towards Zhao Hanying, who was standing in the corner.
At this moment, even the usually arrogant and haughty Zhao Hanying realized how big a mistake she had made.
Not only did it cause Gao Yu to lose a hand, but more fatally, it made Liu Dashuai completely lose face in front of all the upper-class people in BH City.
This time, it was General Liu who used the birthday banquet as an excuse to demonstrate his power. This Mauser pistol was originally meant to declare sovereignty, but now it has directly nailed him to the pillar of shame.
Everyone has left.
Zhao Hanying didn't have time to think about the hatred in Gao Yu's eyes when he was carried away.
She didn't even have time to think about why her fiancé, Zhang Jisheng, would turn around and leave without hesitation.
Because her heart is currently filled with immense fear, panic, and unease.
In addition, there was the resentment and anger at losing to Jin Shu.
"Translator Zhao, I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay me?"
Zhao Hanying was frightened by Liu Dashuai's ferocious face.
She took a step back in a panic and nervously explained.
“I didn’t expect the gun to go off accidentally. I just did what I was supposed to do, but I really don’t know what happened to that gun.”
"You don't know what happened? You swore to me that there wouldn't be any problems at all!!"
Zhao Hanying flinched in fright, but she tried her best to remain calm.
"General, please give me a chance. I'll go back and ask the Orff expert what exactly happened. I'll give you an explanation within a week!"
Commander Liu looked at her coldly and said through gritted teeth.
"You have less than a week. You need to give me an explanation by tomorrow! Otherwise, get out of the Northern Legion!"
This was the first time Commander Liu had spoken to Zhao Hanying so bluntly.
Despite being illiterate, General Liu respected scholars the most in his life, and above them were high-achieving students who had returned from studying abroad.
Therefore, after Zhao Hanying returned to China, Marshal Liu spent a lot of money to keep her in the Northern Army Corps and have her serve him.
She has indeed performed well over this long period of time, and she has been able to handle some important negotiation occasions.
But this public embarrassment completely disillusioned Commander Liu.
If Zhao Hanying weren't still somewhat useful, Commander Liu would have thrown a dismissal letter in her face as soon as the guests left today.
"Don't worry, General, I will give you an explanation tomorrow morning."
"You'd better explain yourself."
That very evening, Zhao Hanying went to find Orff to find out what was going on, but as soon as she returned to the military camp, she heard news that was nothing short of devastating to her.
"What?! The German expert has disappeared?!"
"On our way to the factory today, the German expert's car was stopped, and by the time we arrived, the car was empty!"
Zhao Hanying's face turned pale and then dark, a huge panic filling her heart.
"Does the commander know about this?"
"The message has already been sent to the Marshal's residence. By now, the Marshal should already know."
It's over.
It's completely over.
If the German experts can't find it, she won't even have a chance to make amends.
Given Commander Liu's personality, he would definitely make her leave.
Nowadays, apart from Jiang Beilou, the most powerful and influential person in the entire BH city is Commander Liu, and the other minor warlords all obey Commander Liu's command.
The people he doesn't want, other warlords would absolutely never want either.
The thought of what she was about to face made Zhao Hanying feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she was terrified.
