282: Chapter 282: Hunting 282: Chapter 282: Hunting In the resort, only hunting rifles are provided for safety reasons, and staff mbers are always nearby to rescue anyone in danger imdiately.
“Eh, how do you use this gun?
Like this?” Ji Yu picked up a long rifle, playing with it with interest.
Because she was quite short, she looked sowhat comical compared to the long rifle.
“Be careful.” Ye Shikai snatched the rifle away as Ji Yu had actually pointed the muzzle towards her eye, which is absolutely intolerable for any gun handler.
Ye Shikai’s expression turned fierce, frightening Ji Yu into silence.
“Watch closely, I’ll teach you.” Ye Shikai took the rifle and demonstrated its use in front of Ji Yu, closely observing her expressions to see if she was acting, confident that he could spot any pretense.
“Sigh, you’re so clueless, let teach you.” Ye Shikai found an excuse to personally guide Ji Yu through the steps of using the rifle.
He held her hands and explained each step, seemingly teaching her, but in reality, Ye Shikai was testing her.
Just now, he had startlingly noticed that Ji Yu’s hands felt smooth without any calluses, making him suspicious.
A skilled gunman would inevitably have calluses, even Ye Shikai, who had left the military years ago, had so traces on his hands.
However, Ji Yu’s hands were not those of a gunman at all.
Could she really not be that mysterious person?
“What are you looking at?” Ji Yu abruptly said, startling Ye Shikai, who had been too absorbed in his thoughts and almost touched her chest…
“Uh, nothing.” Ye Shikai slowly loaded the bullet into the chamber, turned off the safety, and pulled the bolt before test firing at a two-hundred-ter target in the shooting range.
“Bang.” The loud gunshot startled Ji Yu, who instinctively covered her ears like a frightened rabbit.
These hunting rifles, being quite old, were not automatic; each shot required pulling back the bolt, and they were very loud.
“Are you okay?” Ye Shikai consoled, handing the rifle to Ji Yu and instructing, “Rember, keep the butt against your shoulder, take a deep breath, aim, and then shoot.”
Watching Ji Yu’s bewildered novice appearance, Ye Shikai started to doubt his earlier suspicion, maybe Ji Yu really wasn’t that person.
To protect Ji Yu from the rifle’s recoil, Ye Shikai supported her shoulder with one hand to stabilize her.
“Bang.” Another gunshot sounded, and Ji Yu, startled, nearly dropped the gun.
If not for Ye Shikai stabilizing her, her arm might have been dislocated from the recoil.
Ji Yu looked at the target in the distance, right at the center’s bright red bullseye, there was indeed a bullet hole.
“I hit the bullseye!” Ji Yu joyously exclaid, looking at the bullet hole.
“Uh…
that was , you missed,” Ye Shikai said sowhat awkwardly, and right after these words, Ji Yu’s cheerful face imdiately fell.
After several more shots, Ji Yu got the hang of shooting, appearing to be just going through a beginner’s practice process.
However, Ye Shikai did not let his guard down and sat by, closely observing every detail.
From every angle, Ji Yu didn’t seem like soone who had ever handled a gun.
Twenty minutes later.
“Alright, I’m ready.
Let’s go hunting.” In just twenty minutes, the ground was already littered with bullet casings.
Ye Shikai glanced at the target; Ji Yu was already able to score around seven rings.
For a beginner, this was quite impressive.
The two took a Jeep specifically for this purpose and headed into the forest.
There were so wild animals here, so naturally occurring and others introduced by resort staff, mostly herbivores like deer and sheep, and also so smaller animals like rabbits, for instance.
“Stop, stop, stop, I see our ga.” Ye Shikai was driving in front, and Ji Yu, who was in the passenger seat, hurriedly asked her to stop.
Following the direction Ji Yu was pointing, there was a wild boar lying motionless in the bushes.
“Take a deep breath, aim, and shoot.” Ji Yu picked up the rifle and murmured these words.
The dark muzzle of the gun aid straight at the boar.
“Bang.” A gunshot echoed and there was a stir in the bushes which soon quieted down.
When the staff dragged the ga back, Ye Shikai was surprised to find that the bullet had gone straight through the boar’s head, killing it instantly, with even so brain matter leaking out.
“Yeah, I hit it.” Ji Yu was very excited looking at the prey before her, having claid her first kill.
However, Ye Shikai was puzzled; why wasn’t Ji Yu scared at all?
Typically, most girls would be repelled, even nauseous at such a gory sight.
How could Ji Yu be so thrilled?
But from another perspective, Ji Yu being one of Yanjing’s most mysterious spies at such a young age, undetected, must an she has a psychological resilience beyond ordinary people.
As for the fear during the first gunshot, it didn’t an much; most people are afraid the first ti they shoot.
Therefore, Ji Yu might truly not be the shooter.
Having deduced this conclusion, Ye Shikai felt sowhat dejected but also relieved.
After casually shooting a few rabbits, they abruptly ended the hunting activity.
In the VIP box.
Ye Shikai and Ji Yu were waiting for the ga they had just hunted, now transford into delicious dishes by the chef.
Ji Yu was enjoying it happily, but Ye Shikai had no appetite, his unease growing from the lack of clues.
“Ji Yu, after you returned ho, did you get involved in family affairs?
For instance, in business matters.” Ye Shikai thought it was possible that the shooter was hired by Ji Yu.
If he could ascertain whether the warning note was written by Ji Yu, it might lead to the conjecture that the threatening bomb was a Ji Family sche.
“I couldn’t care less about them, a bunch of hypocrites spouting nonsense.
If it weren’t for my sister asking to co back, I’d rather be a spy for life.” Upon hearing this, Ji Yu’s expression turned grave.
Then she began to complain about a slew of problems at ho, looking every bit the rebellious teenager.
“So, you never really got involved.” Ye Shikai asked.
“Of course not, when I’m ho, I just stay in my room, hardly seeing anyone.” Ji Yu took a big bite of wild boar at and complained.
“So you don’t know what’s going on at ho either.”
“I don’t care.” Ji Yu’s indifferent attitude left Ye Shikai baffled.
Could it really be that she hadn’t written the note?
