There was no space left in the restroom, and several residents were lining up to use it. The person who had been cursing Zhao Jun was in line at the same spot as Zhao Jun. He waited and waited! Zhao Jun just wouldn't come out. It shouldn't take that long to use the restroom, so he began to suspect that Zhao Jun was inside doing something inappropriate, and he couldn't help but shout out.
Hearing this, Zhao Jun packed his things, kicked the door open, and with a loud bang, he kicked the person who had just insulted him in the stomach. "You reckless fool."
After kicking the person who insulted him, Zhao Jun quickly left. He was a wanted criminal and couldn't be seen by anyone; otherwise, it would attract the police.
Once back, Zhao Jun began preparing for the assassination of Chen Haoxuan the next day. He decided to carry out the assassination during the day. Initially, he had planned for the evening, but Chen Haoxuan wouldn’t be in his office then; he would be elsewhere, making it potentially more troublesome. He had a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer, which meant that when he fired, there would be no sound. This way, when he sniped Chen Haoxuan during the day, he wouldn’t be discovered as quickly, giving him time to escape.
Time passed quickly, and a new day arrived. On this day, Chen Haoxuan went around the supermarket as usual before returning to his office. He wasn’t returning to slack off; he had many tasks to attend to!
At 9:30 AM, there were very few people on the street. Zhao Jun had started waiting at the restroom he had chosen yesterday since seven o'clock to snipe Chen Haoxuan. He was quite bold but not particularly skilled with a gun. However, he was smart and patient; he knew how to wait for an opportunity. When Chen Haoxuan drove up to the supermarket entrance and got out of his car to enter the store, that would be his chance to snipe him. But since Chen Haoxuan was walking and constantly moving, he didn’t fire; he needed to wait until Chen Haoxuan stood still.
Once back in his office, Chen Haoxuan began reviewing inventory lists. As he was looking through them, he suddenly felt an unsettling sense of anxiety. He didn’t know why but felt as if there was danger lurking nearby, as though someone was watching him. He had experienced this feeling before during intense confrontations in Future Century.
Not thinking too much about it—whether this feeling was real or not—he decided to trust his instincts because he didn’t want to gamble with his life. Chen Haoxuan turned his office chair around and forcefully kicked his desk with his foot while quickly moving to the left.
Across the street, Zhao Jun saw Chen Haoxuan suddenly dodge and couldn’t help but feel startled. He muttered to himself in confusion, "Does he know I want to kill him?"
Chen Haoxuan hid against the wall and took out his phone to record video footage of what was happening across the street. Unable to see clearly, he zoomed in. Suddenly, he noticed a flash of light from across the street. Continuing to zoom in further, he saw a figure in one of the windows across from him staring into his office while holding a dark object. Although he couldn’t see it clearly, Chen Haoxuan believed it must be a sniper rifle.
"Who wants to kill me?" Chen Haoxuan said quietly against the wall.
He took off his outer coat and hung it on his office chair before pushing it hard outward while quickly running towards the office door. Chen Haoxuan successfully made it outside; once out, he locked his office door behind him, worried that someone might enter and mistakenly harm him.
Zhao Jun had been aiming his sniper rifle at the corner where Chen Haoxuan was hiding. Suddenly, he saw a figure emerge from the corner, and he quickly adjusted his aim. However, just as he moved the rifle, another shadow darted out of the corner and ran outside. Zhao Jun realized he had been tricked; Chen Haoxuan had used clothing and an office chair to divert his attention before finding an opportunity to escape.
Zhao Jun was not a professional assassin, but he had watched many movies about assassinations, so he understood a bit about the craft. Now that Chen Haoxuan had spotted him, it would be very difficult to kill him today. Therefore, he decided to cancel the assassination mission for now and return in a few days.
Zhao Jun carefully placed his sniper rifle into a long case, then put the case into a black bag and left with it on his back.
As Chen Haoxuan exited the supermarket, he asked Jiang Dong, who was at the door, for a knife before running towards the building across the street. He didn’t ask Jiang Dong and the others to help because he knew they were at a disadvantage against someone armed with a gun; sending them would be too dangerous.
Holding the knife in his right hand, Chen Haoxuan quickly ran towards the building across the street. Upon entering, he chose to take the stairs instead of the elevator. He ran up to the third floor, recalling where he had seen Zhao Jun's position in the office and comparing it to this building's layout. "That's right, it's the restroom," Chen Haoxuan said as he hurried towards the restroom on the third floor.
He arrived at the restroom and walked to the last stall. He gently knocked on the door but received no response. With a loud bang, Chen Haoxuan kicked open the door; it was empty. He then kicked open all the other doors and found that there was no one inside.
"Oh no, he must have taken the elevator to leave," Chen Haoxuan thought as he quickly ran outside. His speed going up the stairs was slower, but going down was several times faster than taking an elevator. Instead of running, he jumped; using his hands to push off the railing and kicking off with both feet, he leaped down a floor in mere seconds.
When Chen Haoxuan reached the first floor, he spotted someone wearing a denim jacket and a hat, carrying something long on their back. Chen Haoxuan suspected this person was trying to assassinate him; wearing a hat concealed their identity, and what was in the box on their back was likely a sniper rifle—this was his deduction.
"Stop!" Chen Haoxuan shouted loudly.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Jun turned around out of curiosity and suddenly realized that Chen Haoxuan was right behind him. Without thinking much further, he took off running.
"Trying to run? Not so easy," Chen Haoxuan quickly pursued him.
As soon as they exited the building onto the road, Chen Haoxuan heard a loud revving sound from an engine. With a roar, a motorcycle took off aggressively and sped away several meters in an instant.
"Alright, I admit I can't outrun you, but you're dead when it comes to driving," Chen Haoxuan thought to himself as he quickly ran towards the supermarket. He shouted loudly to Jiang Dong at the entrance, "Jiang Dong, throw me your car keys!" In a chase, a motorcycle would be best because of its small size, allowing access to places that cars couldn't reach.
Chen Haoxuan was the boss, and the vehicle was one he had bought for them, so Jiang Dong didn't hesitate at all. As soon as Chen Haoxuan spoke, he quickly pulled out the keys and tossed them to Chen Haoxuan.
