Chapter 655: Stopping Him in His Quest for Three Consecutive Wins
Cruff froze for a moment.
He then put on an exaggerated look of disbelief and shock. “I dare not believe that you guys kept such a beautiful trump card. Well then, I hope I’ll have the honour of personally eliminating you three years later.”
Cruff revealed a smile and extended his hand, making for a historic moment as he shook his hands with Gu Qingjiu.
That frivolous smile at the corner of her lips would transform into a nightmare that wouldn’t go away forever, many years later.
After they shook hands, Cruff saw Gu Qingjiu’s arm wrapped in a cast. He couldn’t help but shrug. “Seems like this lady’s arm is injured at the moment. Will you still be able to hold a gun?”
Although Cruff sputtered, the trained Gu Qingjiu could still understand his meaning. She replied smoothly, “It’s normal to get injured. Mr. Cruff, don’t tell me you’ve never gotten injured during practice?”
Seeing that Gu Qingjiu could keep her cool despite Cruff’s provocation, Chairman Song viewed this calm and steady girl in a different light.
In a certain sense, Gu Qingjiu who grew up in an ordinary family and didn’t train under immense pressure, appeared more free than Yin Ruoyi, who similarly depended on his talent.
That was because Yin Ruoyi had existed under all sorts of glory and attention. Hence he would naturally mind such stuff more than Gu Qingjiu.
Cruff was mildly astounded by how Gu Qingjiu was unaffected by him.
She didn’t have that strange gaze he saw at yesterday’s banquet.
She was just like an ordinary girl, appearing gracious and at ease while others sized her up.
But this made Cruff feel alert instead.
Those who were eligible to take part in this international competition weren’t ordinary people. He had heard nothing about this girl before. Was she deliberately kept a secret by China?
He made a note to look up her information after he went back.
After some interaction, both parties returned to their respective territories.
When they went back, someone from the association worried. “Aren’t we giving Cruff time to prepare by exposing Gu Qingjiu’s existence so early on?”
Chairman Song shook his head and analysed, “It can’t be kept a secret. Come October, during our local shooting competition, Gu Qingjiu’s performance will definitely attract various parties’ attention. The US kept quite a few spies in China. It’s only a matter of time before they find out about Gu Qingjiu.”
“But I saw the lass had exposed herself, which goes to show that she’s full of confidence. If she and Yin Ruoyi were to join hands in countering Cruff, I feel that there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Regarding this point, Chairman Song was abnormally confident.
Since Chairman Song had put it this way, the others thought about it and felt that his words made sense. Hence they dismissed this matter from their minds.
Most importantly, Yin Ruoyi’s final attack made them realise something.
That is, Cruff won based on his capabilities. But since Yin Ruoyi could escape under him, and could even eliminate a US player, Yin Ruoyi’s abilities weren’t too bad. Also, there was Gu Qingjiu, whose capabilities were unknown to them for the time being...
But in any case, since Elder Gong had explicitly requested to train her, hopefully, she and Yin Ruoyi could genuinely create a miracle in the future.
After resting briefly that night, the people from the shooting association would bring them back first on the next day. There was a combat competition that day, but there wasn’t any need for Gu Qingjiu to focus her attention on that.
Gu Qingjiu had to analyse the video after she went back.
Regarding that first shot that Cruff fired, if she couldn’t figure out how Cruff had done that, it might be rather difficult for her to stop Cruff in his quest of obtaining three consecutive wins.
