{Chapter: 138 Yan Shuangying?! Chi Qian is shocked!}
Looking at the beautiful referee, who was gazing at him with a mix of embarrassment and uncertainty, Lin Yuan gave a confident smile and said, "Then check the scoring device. Verify if my shots hit the target properly before. If there's an issue, I don't mind shooting again."
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the beautiful referee breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and hurried over to inspect the scoring machine.
Chi Qian, who had initially wanted to say something, remained silent.
She, too, had considered the possibility of the scoring device malfunctioning, just as the others had. However, she hadn't suggested checking it like everyone else because she firmly believed in Lin Yuan's ability.
But since Lin Yuan had voluntarily proposed a check, there was no longer any need for her to insist.
Most of the spectators, especially Gao Feiyang, assumed that the scoring machine must have been defective. Otherwise, how could Lin Yuan's results be so flawless?
With everyone's attention focused on her, the beautiful referee quickly examined all three targets. As she completed her inspection, her expression shifted into one of shock and bewilderment.
Her reaction immediately caught Gao Feiyang's attention. He smirked and sneered, "Why do you look so strange, Miss Referee? Did you find something wrong with the scoring machine? Did he actually miss most of his shots? Or did he barely manage to score, hitting only the three, four, five, or six rings?"
The moment he spoke, the crowd turned their gaze toward the referee, their minds filled with similar thoughts. They, too, assumed that Lin Yuan's performance had been exaggerated and that the results were likely flawed.
However, the beautiful referee shook her head and, in a firm voice, said, "No, the scoring device is working perfectly."
What?! The scoring machine is working fine?!
As soon as those words left her lips, Gao Feiyang's face drained of color, turning a ghastly shade of pale.
"Then why do you look so shocked?" he demanded, his voice laced with disbelief.
Without answering, the beautiful referee retrieved the targets and placed them on the table for everyone to see. She hesitated for a moment before saying with an odd expression, "You should take a look for yourselves."
The crowd immediately swarmed forward, eager to see what had stunned her so much.
And then… silence.
One by one, as they laid eyes on the targets, they were left completely dumbfounded.
The shock on their faces mirrored the referee's, their expressions frozen in sheer disbelief.
Whether it was the stationary target or the two moving targets, all three looked as if they had been struck by a single bullet each.
But that wasn't possible.
Lin Yuan had fired ten shots at the stationary target and five shots at each of the moving targets.
Yet, upon closer inspection, it was evident that all his bullets had pierced through the exact same spot.
The holes in the targets were perfectly round, no larger than the size of a single bullet.
Which meant…
Lin Yuan had fired multiple shots, and every single one had hit the exact same point—without even the slightest deviation!
And more than that…
Each bullet hole was located at the very center of the target.
To the untrained eye, achieving a perfect bullseye might seem like the best possible outcome. However, those familiar with competitive shooting knew that a standard target did not have a maximum score of just 10 rings.
In official competitions, the highest possible score wasn't just a simple 10—it went up to 10.9 rings.
A perfect 10.0 wasn't enough for elite shooters. The rings extended in decimals, from 10.1, 10.2, 10.3… all the way to the absolute pinnacle of 10.9 rings.
While this competition was just for entertainment and didn't adhere to such strict scoring methods, what Lin Yuan had achieved was beyond belief.
He had landed every single shot precisely on the 10.9 rings!
This was inhuman!
The entire shooting range was engulfed in stunned silence.
Even Chi Qian, who had displayed remarkable skill herself by hitting near-perfect shots, was utterly shaken.
Despite her own talent, she found Lin Yuan's level to be absolutely monstrous.
"Th-this is absurd!"
"He hit all 10.9 rings?! How is that even possible?! Is he Yan Shuangying in disguise?!"
"Even if the scoring machine were faulty, the targets themselves don't lie! This is insane!"
"Oh my god! Could he be part of a top-secret military unit? Not only is he unbelievably handsome, but his marksmanship is godlike! He has to be an elite soldier or a top-tier assassin!"
"I need to get this guy's contact information! He's too amazing! I wouldn't mind getting few shots from him!"
The once lively crowd was now buzzing with disbelief and admiration.
Chi Qian stepped closer, looking at Lin Yuan with a mix of amazement and curiosity. "Your marksmanship is truly terrifying. You lied to me earlier, didn't you? You have trained with firearms before, haven't you?"
Lin Yuan chuckled. "If using a slingshot to hunt birds counts, then I guess I've had some experience."
Chi Qian smiled. "You should teach me how to shoot. I'd say you're more than qualified to be my instructor."
Lin Yuan gave a relaxed shrug. "Let's talk about that later. I have something to deal with first."
Then, he turned his head and called out, "Shengnan."
The moment Lin Yuan spoke, the crowd's curiosity deepened.
They had been completely absorbed in the shocking revelation of his marksmanship, but now he was drawing their attention elsewhere.
Who was he talking to?
As they followed Lin Yuan's gaze, they saw Shi Shengnan, the tall and imposing woman, blocking the exit.
At that moment, Gao Feiyang's face turned an even more ghastly shade of pale.
He knew he had lost.
And he knew what that meant.
The consequence wasn't just humiliation—it was public humiliation.
He had agreed to the bet. If he lost, he would have to leap like a frog and bark like a dog.
Not only would this be a devastating blow to his dignity, but it would also mean that he would never be allowed to approach Chi Qian again.
His entire goal in making the bet was to win Chi Qian's attention.
But now?
He had not only lost the bet—he had lost his pride.
Desperate, Gao Feiyang tried to sneak away, pretending that he needed to use the restroom.
If he could just slip out unnoticed, he could return later and claim he had forgotten about the bet.
That way, he wouldn't have to face the embarrassment.
But Lin Yuan wasn't the type to let things slide. As a seasoned scoundrel, he had a repertoire of tricks buried deep in the back of his mind, honed through experience and deception. Cunning ran through his veins, and he knew exactly when to strike, when to feign ignorance, and when to turn the tables in his favor.
He saw through Gao Feiyang's cowardly escape attempt instantly.
With a casual smile, he said, "I believe in teaching people the importance of honesty. A bet is a bet—you have to face the consequences."
Gao Feiyang turned toward the exit, but Shi Shengnan stood firmly in his path, her arms crossed, exuding an intimidating aura of absolute strength.
The entire gate was blocked by Shi Shengnan.
He will not be able to sneak away at all!
"Security! Security!" Gao Feiyang shouted several times.
The security guard is ready to come.
But the supervisor stopped the security guard and shook his head.
Lin Yuan notified him in advance.
It won't be too much trouble, so the supervisor is willing to grant Lin Yuan a favor.
After all, he is the young master of the Lin family.
There is nothing to benefit from going against Lin Yuan just because of a little favor.
Seeing that even the security guards dare not come over.
Gao Feiyang was desperate.
At this time, he realized how big of a mistake it was to provoke Lin Yuan.
Seeing Shi Shengnan hammer her palm with her fist sideways, also made Gao Feiyang's joints tremble.
Gao Feiyang's complexion is a mix of blue and white.
In the end, he placed his hands on his head and began to bow.
"A real…real man, fulfills his promises!" Before the humiliating frog leap, he gave himself a lot of face.
Then, with extreme reluctance, he leapt forward like a frog.
"Arf!"
His barking echoed through the shooting range.
And every time he tried to slow down, Shi Shengnan's towering presence made sure he kept leaping and barking without pause.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gao Feiyang leapt like a frog and barked like a dog—over and over again.
A truly pathetic sight.
