The moment the gunshot sounded, she suddenly came back to her senses and realized what she had just done!
But it was too late to regret now.
The speed of the bullet was clearly incomparable to a dagger. Even if Shi Man moved too quickly, she would probably not be able to retreat in time.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Shi Man was actually faster than her.
As soon as she reached behind her, Shi Man noticed her actions. She staggered slightly and was prepared to dodge at any time.
The moment she took out her pistol, Shi Man had already turned her body to avoid the trajectory. She threw away the dagger and arrived in front of Chu Yue in the blink of an eye.
Shi Man raised her hand and grabbed Chu Yue’s fingers holding the gun. She exerted a little strength and dislocated her wrist. After snatching her pistol, Shi Man skillfully removed the cartridge inside and threw the pistol in front of Lu Jun.
She turned around and glared at him coldly. “This is the good student that Chief Lu taught? It’s really an eye-opener for me!”
Everything happened in a flash. Even Lu Jun could not react in time. If not for the man who claimed to be Chu Yue’s brother pushing Lu Jun, the high and mighty Chief Lu would have been smashed.
The murderous aura in Shi Man’s eyes turned into disdain the moment she looked at Chu Yue. “Are you still going to fight?”
She asked it casually, but Chu Yue was shocked!
What was going on with Shi Man?! At such a close distance just now, even she would probably die.
However, this young girl could actually resolve the crisis in an instant and even deftly dismantle her pistol.
Chu Yue lowered her head slightly and saw the bullets scattered all over the ground under her feet. She could no longer hide her shock and surprise.
Lu Jun pushed Shi Mu away in shock. He stared at Shi Man in disbelief and sized her up. In the end, his gaze landed on the scattered bullets. He could not hide his surprise. “You know how to use a gun? Who did you learn it from?”
After saying that, he subconsciously looked at Shi Zhong, who was following him closely. He instantly shook his head and decisively eliminated this possibility.
Shi Man calmly accepted their scrutinizing gazes and asked, “Can’t 1 self-study?”
“How is this possible?” Lu Jun thought of something and waved behind him.
Chu Yue bit her lower lip indignantly. No matter how unwilling she was, she realized that she had done something wrong and did not dare to go against his wishes. She turned around and returned to the pavilion. She picked up the pistol and placed it in his hand.
Lu Jun handed the gun to Shi Man and pointed at the removed cartridge. “You, put it back.”
As if afraid that Shi Man would not listen to him, he specially emphasized, “This is a military firearm. Install it back.”
Shi Man couldn’t be bothered to waste time with him under the sun, so she didn’t hide her strength anymore. Her movements were so clean that there was no unnecessary movement as she reattached the gun perfectly.
The speed at which she assembled the pistol was even a few seconds faster than Chu Yue.
Apart from being pleasantly surprised, there was gradually a determined glint in his eyes.
He had been arrogant all his life and had taken in countless students, but no one could satisfy him like Shi Man. Even Chu Yue, who had already graduated, had to admit defeat in front of her.
How could Lu Jun not be tempted!
This was despite Shi Man being from the Shi family and might be a strong enemy of her niece’s family in the future!
Shi Zhong could see the turmoil in Lu Jun’s eyes and was worried that he was up to something. He was the first to darken his face and start to denounce him. “Chief Lu, in that competition just now, my daughter was unarmed, but your student actually used a dagger and even shot my daughter. May I ask if her actions just now have already violated the rules of the army?”
It was a violation of course.
Strictly speaking, if Chu Yue fired at an innocent citizen, it would be enough for her to be fired from her position as an instructor. However, as long as Lu Jun was willing to protect her, there was still room for negotiation.
This matter happened in the Shi family in G City, not in the capital. If Lu Jun wanted to hush things, it was not impossible. It just depended on whether he wanted to put down his pride to protect this student.
But at that moment, Lu Jun’s focus was clearly no longer on Chu Yue.
He stared at Shi Man intently. His dry lips suddenly parted slightly as he asked a question that no one had expected. “Are you willing to go to the capital with me to participate in the army training?”
Shi Zhong’s heart sank. He did not expect Lu Jun to have such thoughts.
Shen Xian couldn’t bear for her daughter to go to the capital alone to undergo such arduous training. Without thinking, she rejected him on behalf of Shi Man. “Chief Lu, my daughter hasn’t graduated from Cassel Academy. I’m afraid she’ll let you down.”
Chu Yue was petrified at the side and did not come back to her senses for a long time.. It was only when her brother pushed her that she pursed her thin lips and mustered her courage to ask in a low voice, “Teacher, are you really going to take Shi Man in as your student?”
