Chapter 258: You're Looking for Pan Ningning
"I don't want this gun anymore." Zhang Yang stared at the two fully assembled black SSG69 rifles. These people were outrageous—selling guns but not selling bullets.
"Don't want it? Once sold, no refunds." Earth Dragon said impatiently.
"I haven't paid yet."
"Uh… right, you haven't paid. Hurry up and pay. How much was it again, forty thousand or fifty thousand?"
"Bullets!"
"Go ask Pan Ningning for them yourself."
"Then I'm not paying!"
"Oh come on, aren't you annoying? It's just bullets. Pan Ningning is a sniper goddess—go ask her. You know the rules. If I sell both guns and bullets, do you know how big a crime that is…"
Zhang Yang was speechless. "What difference does that make? 'Rules' my ass. Aren't you also a special agent?"
"Uh… damn it!"
"Alright, alright, I'll pretend you're not a special agent. At least tell me how I can find Pan Ningning."
"Find her?" Earth Dragon scratched his head. "Isn't she the one protecting you?"
"She protects me, not the other way around… brother!"
"True. She's always ghost-like." Earth Dragon glanced at Zhang Yang, then changed his tone. "Fine, since you bought my gun, I'll give you a tip."
He paused, lowered his voice. "Pan Ningning has a weird habit—seems like she has OCD. Even if she doesn't eat or drink, she will absolutely never skip a bath. So during missions, she usually checks into some hotel with good hot water first. You've seen her. Just look around the big hotels near your villa—she'll be there."
"Peeping on her taking a bath?" Zhang Yang suddenly grew interested. He'd already seen Tang Qiqi, so he wondered how her twin sister's body compared.
Definitely very juicy, not worse than Tang Qiqi. As for her boobs…
Maybe a bit bigger. Maybe smaller. Who knew.
"Damn it, can you not be such a pervert?!" Earth Dragon was speechless. "I'm telling you how to find her, not telling you to peep. Besides, nobody in this world is capable of spying on her bathing."
"Oh." Zhang Yang was a little disappointed. "So you two are close?"
"Close? No—NO. Not close at all!" Earth Dragon jerked back like bitten by a snake, waving his hands. "Don't you dare say I told you anything…"
"I definitely will… if you don't tell me the full story."
"Damn it! Can you not be such a backstabbing asshole?!"
"You're scared of her, right? Is she your wife? And are you a wife-slave?" Zhang Yang stared at him smiling.
"Cut the crap. Someone like me can't possibly get married. And if Pan Ningning hears what you just said, dying ten thousand times wouldn't save you. Pan Ningning—the sniper goddess, the military's queen flower. Back then… OK, OK, I'll stop. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Back then she was the sniper goddess, and then?"
"Fine, I'll tell you. It's nothing embarrassing anyway. Consider it a warning. Pan Ningning and I attended the same academy—a place for elite students—the elite among elites. And stop looking at me like that! I am elite…"
Zhang Yang nodded. This sleazy pretty boy with dyed yellow hair looked nothing like a military elite. Except his shooting.
"Do you still want to hear it?"
"Of course!"
"Among those elites, Pan Ningning took first place in the sniper competition four years straight. Even the instructors couldn't beat her. Her craziest feat was hitting a coin at 300 meters with an 85-style sniper rifle. Meaning, if she doesn't like you, she could blow your balls off during your morning exercise before you even notice she's there."
Zhang Yang felt a sudden ache between his legs… Pan Ningning was that terrifying?
"Nobody's ever dared to pursue her. Well, except a few idiots. And… fine, I'll admit it—I was one. Two-hundred-meter moving target, timed challenge. Thirty targets—she hit all thirty. I hit twenty-one. Best score among the challengers."
"Alright, message delivered. The rest is your business. Pay up… How much was it again?"
"Damn it, fifty thousand. Do I need to remind you of everything?" Zhang Yang was speechless. Ao Tian sent such a clown to sell him guns?
"Oh right, fifty thousand. Hand it over."
This time Zhang Yang didn't bother making things difficult. He gave the cash directly. He knew these people didn't care about fifty thousand. In Huaxia, where guns were prohibited, even fifty thousand euros might not be enough to obtain two SSG69 rifles.
Taking the guns, he drove off. Halfway through, his phone rang—the clown again.
"Fuck, bro, you serious? In this wilderness, you expect me to walk back?!"
Zhang Yang was speechless. This Earth Dragon… being a special agent at this level was impressive in its own way.
After a whole mess, he finally got the guns—but without bullets, they were decorations. And these bullets weren't ordinary domestic rounds—they were NATO 7.62mm rounds. Black market only. Or as Earth Dragon said: ask Pan Ningning.
But remembering her ability to blow his balls off from 300 meters… Zhang Yang felt uneasy.
The twin sisters' personalities were similar. He'd already experienced Tang Qiqi. Pan Ningning would be even harder to deal with.
He called Ao Tian to ask about it. Ao Tian immediately played dumb.
"I don't know any Earth Dragon or whatever, and I never told anyone to sell guns to you. As for Pan Ningning having bullets, never heard of it…"
"Don't bullshit me. You clearly have some agenda."
"You really want to know?"
"Of course. You sent a lunatic to shove two SSGs at me, then told me to find Pan Ningning for bullets. Isn't it obvious?"
"Obvious what?" Ao Tian's tone wavered.
"If you're giving me the guns, you obviously have bullets. But forcing me to ask Pan Ningning… you want me to owe her a favor."
"Pfft—what favor? She doesn't need your favor."
"Tang Qiqi is in my hands."
"Fine, true, but that's not the main reason." Ao Tian's tone calmed. "Think about it. Guns in Huaxia aren't like the U.S. Sniper rifles must be registered even there. You have two rifles for two reasons."
"One, you're a high-priority protection target. You need self-defense capability—and you actually have the ability to use them. Two, Pan Ningning, assigned to protect you, is an SSG69 expert. During international competitions, she used the SSG69 to beat foreign teams."
"But having the ability doesn't mean you have the right. You're a civilian. If you fire these rifles, the bullets become evidence. Do you want legal trouble?"
Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then understood. "Because Pan Ningning is protecting me, and her bullets are all registered…"
"Exactly. She's legal."
Zhang Yang understood. It wasn't just that simple—having the rifles didn't matter. If Pan Ningning didn't give bullets, or gave few, the control remained in their hands.
No wonder Earth Dragon handed the guns over so happily.
But it didn't matter. At least having the rifles gave him some security. And once he found Pan Ningning, no matter how many bullets she gave, it would help.
Back at the villa, Zhang Yang checked the time. It was already past two in the afternoon. After lunch, he told Xu Danlu and the others he'd be leaving, then notified Lao Yi and his two subordinates to prepare the supplies for Tujia Village and Wu Village. They waited in the city while he set off from the villa.
Before leaving, he went to Room 204, opened the door, and glanced at Tang Qiqi sitting quietly. He coughed.
Tang Qiqi glanced at him, frowning slightly. "Didn't you say you were going to Shangyan City?"
"Forgot to bring someone." Zhang Yang looked at her, then stared at her super-short skirt that barely covered her perky snow-white butt. "You're not going dressed like that, right?"
"You're taking me?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away halfway?"
Zhang Yang smiled. "Good thing your first thought wasn't that you'd kill me halfway."
Tang Qiqi rolled her eyes. "Get out. I'm changing."
"It's not like I haven't seen it before… and we don't have much time." Zhang Yang raised his hand to check the time. Even driving full speed, they'd only reach Tujia Village in Shangyan City late at night.
"Hmph!" Tang Qiqi rolled her eyes, checked that the door was closed, then bit her lip and reached to pull down her skirt…
