Chapter 300 You Are a Special Agent
"Good brother!" Huang Hu clapped his hands, seemingly happy, and said, "However, I still cannot be at ease with your mere verbal promise."
As he spoke, Huang Hu smiled at Qin Chao and said, "If you want to join us, you still need to present a token of allegiance."
Cursing silently in his heart, Qin Chao thought Huang Hu was truly cautious!
"Tell me, brother!" Qin Chao stood up, his aura imposing, as though he had regained his sense of dignity. "Whatever you say, I shall do! I will brave the fires and dive into the waters!"
"You shall kill this woman who cuckolded you." Huang Hu pointed at An Qing and said indifferently.
Both Qin Chao and An Qing were dumbfounded.
He wants me to kill An Qing? This Huang Hu is too cunning!
Why should I kill her? An Qing was also wide-eyed, not quite understanding.
Qin Chao stood there, hesitating. It seemed that in order to gain Huang Hu's trust, he really had to kill An Qing. But how could he truly do it? There was only one way.
He would strike An Qing with a palm, enveloping her heart with his vital energy, temporarily stopping the blood flow throughout her body. This way, he could create a state of apparent death.
Deceiving Huang Hu would then be possible.
"Very well, brother, I shall kill this wretched woman!"
With an air of wickedness, Qin Chao took a step forward.
"Wait." Huang Hu stopped Qin Chao and handed him a type-92 pistol used by Ai Xiaoxue, with the safety already off. "Use this."
With the weighty pistol in his hand, Qin Chao felt somewhat foolish again.
Damn it, how could he forget about this?
If he killed An Qing with a single palm strike, wouldn't that reveal he was a martial arts expert?
Killing An Qing with a pistol... Would she have any chance of surviving?
However, as Qin Chao held the gun, several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
He was now at the Divine Skill stage, with abundant and powerful vital energy.
As long as he enveloped the bullet with his vital energy at the very moment it left the barrel, he could divert its trajectory, ensuring An Qing would not be harmed.
He would claim his poor marksmanship later... Dealing with this situation first, and then figuring out the rest.
In truth, Qin Chao was merely buying time; he was waiting for Ai Xiaoxue's signal.
As soon as Ai Xiaoxue sent him a signal, he would swiftly apprehend these villains.
"Wretched woman, I shall kill you!" Qin Chao gripped the gun with both hands, his wrists trembling, and fired a shot at An Qing.
In that instant, An Qing felt as if her soul nearly took flight. However, she saw Qin Chao secretly wink at her.
What was he doing? Was he really going to kill me?
But before An Qing could comprehend, Qin Chao had already pulled the trigger.
Qin Chao's vital energy was already overflowing from the muzzle, but surprisingly, no bullet was fired.
"Well done, you did a good job," Huang Hu extended his hand and took back the 92-type pistol. "But remember, my men, under Huang Hu, never lay hands on women."
This cunning Huang Hu had given Qin Chao an unloaded gun.
Qin Chao and An Qing both heaved a sigh of relief. Even Ai Xiaoxue, who was on edge, finally relaxed.
"You don't have to kill your woman; just kill the chief steward."
Huang Hu hadn't finished; he handed Qin Chao an even heavier Type 54 Black Star pistol.
Qin Chao had used the Type 54 pistol countless times.
Under its muzzle, countless spirits had perished.
But never had there been innocent commoners.
The chief steward's face turned pale, and he stood there trembling.
"Kill him, and I'll acknowledge you as one of us," Huang Hu said nonchalantly, tapping his thigh.
This time, without hesitation, Qin Chao raised the gun and fired a bullet with a bang.
The chief steward immediately sat on the ground. He was unharmed, but a bullet mark was left behind him.
"Brother, this gun has such a strong recoil. I—I missed," Qin Chao rubbed his hand and told Huang Hu.
"Stupid," Huang Hu glanced at him. "Get closer and shoot, then you'll hit the target, won't you?"
Qin Chao had to kill someone, bear the weight of a crime, and truly become a fugitive to follow Huang Hu wholeheartedly.
Although Huang Hu was surrounded by loyal subordinates, he lacked someone as clever as Qin Chao.
The chief steward was to be Qin Chao's token of allegiance.
"Fine!" Qin Chao gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
Holding the Type 54 Black Star, he took one step at a time toward the steward.
In the steward's eyes, Qin Chao was like a demon approaching him.
"Huang Hu, what are you doing?!" Ai Xiaoxue immediately shouted, "Didn't you promise that as long as we agreed to your terms, you wouldn't harm the hostages?!"
"Yeah, I didn't hurt the hostages," Huang Hu wickedly smiled, shrugged his shoulders, and pointed at Qin Chao, "The one who wants to harm the hostages is him."
"You!" Ai Xiaoxue was at a loss for words, her gaze shifting towards Qin Chao.
At this moment, Qin Chao had already approached the chief steward, the gun in his hand aimed at the middle-aged man's head on the ground.
"P-please..." The chief steward, with the gun pointed at him, had lost all courage. "Don't kill me. I have a family to support, and I don't want to die..."
"I'm sorry." Qin Chao was quickly contemplating his options, feeling trapped. Damn it, why did he meddle in this? He should have just let Ai Xiaoxue handle it! Why get himself involved?
If he were to kill the chief steward, Qin Chao's life would be ruined. Not to mention being with Su Ji, even working as an ordinary employee at Skyhawk Corporation would be impossible.
The police wouldn't let him go, and he'd either face a life sentence or a cheap bullet.
Qin Chao gripped the Type 54 Black Star, the heavy pistol trembling slightly, revealing his inner hesitation.
"What, are you scared now?" Huang Hu saw this and couldn't help but laugh. "Brother, in our line of work, you have to kill someone eventually. What's there to fear? Killing someone is just a matter of shedding some blood. Once you kill him, Brother Hu will take you to enjoy the good life. No matter how beautiful a woman you want, I can get her for you."
Huang Hu seemed to value Qin Chao greatly, constantly tempting him.
Qin Chao's thoughts raced like lightning, feeling that in the next second, he might genuinely fire the bullet. Damn Ai Xiaoxue, why hasn't she given the signal yet?
"Brother Hu, are you really willing to let me enjoy the good life with you?" Qin Chao started talking again, deliberately stalling for time.
"If I kill this man and you abandon me afterward, I'll be doomed."
"Brother, at this point, what are you still worried about?" Huang Hu laughed heartily. "When has my word, Huang Hu, ever been anything less than a nail spat out? Ask my brothers here, when have I ever gone back on my word?"
"Big brother!" Qin Chao seemed somewhat agitated, his hand holding the gun trembling continuously. "I'm still a bit scared."
"What are you afraid of?!" Huang Hu's face suddenly darkened, and he coldly said, "There are no cowards among my men! If you don't shoot, you're the one who will die!"
As he spoke, Huang Hu's henchmen aimed their guns at Qin Chao.
Seeing the muzzles pointed at him, Qin Chao's body visibly trembled.
Huang Hu sneered, and murderous intent filled the eyes of everyone present.
As Huang Hu's subordinates, they all knew that once their boss decided to kill, someone had to die. Did that Qin Chao kid think that joining Brother Hu's gang was a game?
Everyone here was a notorious bandit!
"Big brother, don't be impulsive." Qin Chao had no choice but to look back at the chief steward sitting on the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "Buddy, I'm sorry. If you don't die, I'll be the one who dies."
The chief steward's face had already turned a ghastly pale with despair.
Qin Chao's teeth chattered as he gripped the pistol, his palm sweating. Just then, Ai Xiaoxue's wristwatch suddenly vibrated twice. She glanced at it and her eyes filled with excitement.
"Take action!" Ai Xiaoxue whispered, and Qin Chao's heart was instantly relieved.
"Go to hell!" He shouted, as if he had made up his mind.
At that moment, Huang Hu seemed to sense something and ducked, falling to the ground.
Qin Chao fired the gun just in time, the bullet hitting the back of the chair behind Huang Hu.
"What are you doing!" Huang Hu roared, pulling out his own pistol. "Want to play hero? I'll grant your wish!"
As he spoke, several thugs prepared to pull their triggers.
"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of bullets rained down on Qin Chao, and both Ai Xiaoxue and An Qing cried out in shock.
To everyone's astonishment, the bullets that hit Qin Chao bounced off, clattering to the ground.
Unscathed, Qin Chao sneered and fired several shots, knocking the thugs to the ground. They were carrying explosives and couldn't be left alive.
Qin Chao showed no mercy, a stark contrast to his earlier begging and calling out to Huang Hu.
An Qing and Ai Xiaoxue were dumbfounded, unable to comprehend the situation.
What was Qin Chao wearing that made him bulletproof? And how had he practiced his marksmanship to such precision? The fallen thugs had each been shot between the eyes, dead beyond doubt.
"You're a special agent!" Huang Hu's eyes widened as if he had figured out Qin Chao's identity. Gritting his teeth, he stood up, grabbed An Qing's neck and held her hostage.
At the same time, he pointed his gun at An Qing's forehead and viciously shouted at Qin Chao.
"Qin Chao, drop your gun! Otherwise, your woman is dead!"
Qin Chao was shocked, not expecting Huang Hu to be so cunning as to take An Qing hostage.
Huang Hu seemed terrified of Qin Chao's marksmanship and deliberately hid his body behind An Qing, exposing only one eye.
"Lower your gun, or I'll shoot her!"
While snarling menacingly, Huang Hu pressed the gun hard against An Qing's forehead.
An Qing cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't be impulsive!" Qin Chao hastily dropped the gun and raised his hands.
