Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "Mr. Lu, do you want to go over and take a look? ...
07. Shooting Range
In the evening, Chen Rong went to deliver dessert to Jiang Nian, and Jiang Hao was there too.
Jiang Hao had moved out of home before and lived in the city. However, his parents were away on business these days, so he came back to take care of his younger brother.
Jiang Nian was eating dessert and watching TV when he saw the male protagonist in the TV series showing off his prowess in the shooting range. His eyes sparkled, not because he thought the male protagonist was handsome, but because he was interested in shooting.
He looked at Chen Rong with a burning gaze. Chen Rong glanced at the TV, then at Jiang Nian, instantly understanding what he meant and using his eyes to indicate that he would go back to his phone to chat.
Jiang Nian had worked part-time at a shooting range for a long time in his previous life and was very familiar with those firearms. When he came to this world, he also went to the shooting range with Chen Rong once.
Although he was weak in this world, boys were naturally interested in guns and motorcycles. Even though he couldn't drive fast, he could always play with guns.
It’s okay if I don’t think about it on weekdays, but when I see it on TV, I feel itchy.
When they returned to the room at night, Jiang Nian and Chen Rong quietly checked Jiang Hao's schedule on their phones and decided to go to the shooting range in two days.
Two days later, the sun was shining brightly and there was not a breath of wind outside. It was a good day for a trip.
Jiang Nian was still wearing a hat, mask and scarf, wrapping himself tightly. He skillfully climbed over the wall and got into Chen Rong's car, successfully "escaping from prison."
The shooting range that Chen Rong took Jiang Nian to was located in the city center where every inch of land was valuable. It covered a large area and the people who came and went were either rich or noble.
Jiang Nian looked through the car window and praised, "It's magnificent."
Shen Rong unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the car door and said, “This is Lu’s property.”
"Lu, Lu Zhao?" Jiang Nian smiled ambiguously, "Do you want to ask Lu Zhao to come play with you?"
Chen Rong still remembered Jiang Nian's random matchmaking a few days ago. He walked a few steps to Jiang Nian's side, bent his knuckles and tapped Jiang Nian's forehead lightly, telling him to put away his messy thoughts.
He led Jiang Nian towards the shooting range and said, "I chose this place because the environment is good, private and safe." This kind of environment suits Jiang Nian.
It was obvious that Chen Rong often came here. The staff all knew him. One of them came up to him and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since you've been here."
Chen Rong smiled and said that he was busy recently. He asked for a private room and took Jiang Nian there.
The box is quiet and no one will disturb you, so you can play without worry.
Jiang Nian changed into his shooting uniform and came over. Chen Rong gave him earmuffs and goggles and asked, "Do you remember how to play?"
It had been a long time since Jiang Nian last came here. That was his first experience with a shooting game in this world. He had a solid foundation, and even though he hadn't touched it in twenty years, he gradually regained his grip after playing for a while.
Seeing Jiang Nian quickly mastering the technique, Shen Rong was somewhat surprised. He had never expected that Jiang Nian still had memories of his past life. He praised him for his talent. Jiang Nian accepted the compliment with a smile.
This time, Jiang Nian tried a few shots and quickly regained his grip. He challenged Chen Rong. Shooting games were more interesting as competitions, so Chen Rong accepted Jiang Nian's challenge.
As one of the male protagonists in this world, Chen Rong has first-class appearance and ability. Jiang Nian is happy and excited to compete with him.
While he was having fun, Shen Rong received a call. He had something urgent to deal with at the company, and the round trip would take about an hour.
Chen Rong felt a little sorry, and Jiang Nian said, "If anyone should be sorry, it's me. I forced you to accompany me and took up your time. Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
They just came out and can stay outside for a few hours.
After hearing Jiang Nian's words, Chen Rong showed a look of disapproval and said, "That's too polite. Don't you think of me as your brother?"
Jiang Nian said, "You said it first."
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing at the same time. Chen Rong called the person in charge and asked him to keep an eye on Jiang Nian and that he would be back soon.
After Chen Rong left, Jiang Nian felt bored playing alone. He opened the door to the VIP room, grabbed a staff member, and asked them to play with him. However, the skill gap was too big, and after two rounds, Jiang Nian lost interest.
The staff member was a little nervous and apologized, "Sir, my skills are too poor."
"It's okay." Jiang Nian took off his goggles and sipped some water to moisten his lips. The waiter stood quietly by, waiting for his instructions.
Jiang Nian put down his water cup and decided to go out and take a look. Today was the weekend, and the shooting range was crowded. Since he had been staying at home to recuperate for many years, not many people had seen him. He was wearing a mask, so he was not worried about being recognized.
After leaving the VIP room, Jiang Nian quickly arrived at the main hall. It was just as lively as he'd imagined. He looked out at a crowd gathered not far away, and it looked like someone was participating in a competition. He got excited and joined them.

On the other side, in the VIP business box of the shooting range, Lu Zhao took off his earmuffs and goggles and put down his gun.
The manager clapped his hands and praised: "Beautiful."
Lu Zhao flexed his fingers and said, "I haven't had it for a long time, my hands are numb."
Lu Zhao had been quite busy recently and hadn't been out and about for a long time. Since it was the weekend, he decided to go to the archery hall.
Apart from necessary social engagements, Lu Zhao prefers to be alone on weekends, so he didn't organize any parties today and came alone.
After playing a few rounds, Lu Zhao put down his gun and prepared to walk around the venue to find out about the latest situation there.
The manager attentively opened the door to Lu Zhao's private room and, while reporting on the situation inside, quietly observed Lu Zhao's expression. Lu Zhao's expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was satisfied or not.
They continued forward and soon arrived at the shooting hall. The hall was undoubtedly very busy and crowded with people, but at this moment they were all gathered together.
Lu Zhao glanced at the gathered crowd, and the manager smiled and said, "It's a competition, right?"
It's normal to see evenly matched opponents competing in the shooting range, but with so many people gathered there today, it must have been exciting.
The manager said, "Mr. Lu, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"No need." Lu Zhao refused. He continued to move forward and the manager immediately followed.
After taking a few steps, Lu Zhao, due to the angle, peered through the gaps in the crowd and spotted a slender figure standing in front of one of the targets. Although it was only a silhouette, Lu Zhao recognized it immediately: it was Jiang Nian.
The manager was about to lead Lu Zhao upstairs when he saw the boss stop. He had no choice but to stop as well. He was about to say something when he saw Lu Zhao, who had just shown no interest in the game, walk towards the bustling crowd.
