Peerless Bodyguard of a Stunning Beauty

Miss Lili added, ”Since we can defeat you with firearms, why on earth would we choose to confront you with cold steel?”

Yu Lan smiled. ”Fatso, you’re at death’s door. Just surrender.”

”All I have to do is gently squeeze the trigger on this rocket launcher,” Xuelian cackled, ”and one rocket will be enough to blow you to smithereens.”

The assistant, looking fierce, fixed a bayonet to his Type 38 rifle. ”This Type 38 isn’t just for show. It has an effective range of 800 meters. One shot is all I need to punch right through you.”

Hearing this from Zhao Rong and his companions, the fat man was so scared he wet his pants. He immediately dropped the Guan Dao, fell to his knees, and began begging for mercy.

”Big brother, big sisters, I beg you, please spare me…

”I used to be a butcher at a nearby slaughterhouse, but the pay was just too low. I couldn’t afford to provide for my three children, so I took this part-time job as a temp enforcer here in Badatu Alley after my shifts.

”I never expected to run into impressive young people like you today. I was truly in the wrong. Please, let me off the hook. Don’t shoot! I have three children at home, still crying for milk powder…”

When Zhao Rong’s group saw the fat man had pissed himself in fear, they tossed their weapons to the ground. ”What a coward,” they said, laughing. ”All it took was a few toy guns to scare the piss out of you.”

Miss Lili stepped forward and looked down at the kneeling man. ”I had a feeling you were a butcher from the start. Turns out, I was right.”

Yu Lan also stepped forward, pulling out her phone to snap a picture. ”I’m posting this guy’s photo on my WeChat Moments,” she said while tapping away. ”Then I’m going to dox him so he can never find a job again. He’ll be completely unemployable.”

Xuelian then took out a can of pepper spray and shot a burst right into the fat man’s face. ”This is to prevent you from getting any funny ideas,” she said. ”A little pepper spray should completely incapacitate you.”

But when the fat man heard their weapons were just toys, his regret vanished instantly. The same man who had been kneeling and pleading for his life a moment ago suddenly sprang to his feet with a carp-like leap. Laughing maniacally, he brandished his Guan Dao. ”And here I thought your guns were real! I thought that rocket was the real deal! Turns out you were just trying to scare me with toys!”

Seeing the fat man get up, Zhao Rong’s group immediately took a step back and assumed combat stances. ”We were just testing you,” they said. ”We wanted to see if you were just a misguided person capable of remorse. But now we see your true colors. You’re nothing but a despicable bully who preys on the weak and refuses to repent.”

The fat man roared with laughter. ”So what if I am? What can you possibly do about it? Are you going to pull out those toy guns and try to scare me again?” With that, he raised his Guan Dao and charged toward them.

But just as he lunged, Zhao Rong suddenly raised his AK-47 semi-automatic rifle again. Miss Lili grabbed her Thompson submachine gun, Yu Lan aimed her Uzi, and Xuelian once again hoisted the rocket launcher onto her shoulder. The assistant also brought out his Type 38 rifle.

When the fat man saw them brandish the ”toy” guns again, he guffawed. ”You’re still trying to scare me with those things? Let me tell you, it takes more than that to frighten me!” He swung his Guan Dao, aiming straight for Zhao Rong.

However, before the blade could connect, Zhao Rong pulled the trigger.

BANG!

A bullet struck the fat man in the right leg, forcing him to his knees. Staring at his wounded leg in disbelief, he looked up at Zhao Rong. ”Didn’t you just say your gun was a fake? A toy? How can your toy gun fire real bullets and shoot my right leg? Is it possible your gun isn’t a toy at all, but a real one?”

Zhao Rong smiled. ”Of course this gun is a toy. As for why you got shot… I’ll let my assistant here explain.”

The assistant stepped forward, also smiling. ”You see, Fatso, what you don’t know is that before my big brother Zhao Rong aimed his toy gun at you, he used his phone to log into the Paradise Shopping Cart app and contact a seller. This seller invented a new type of weapon called ’time-space bullets’.”

Hearing this, the fat man’s eyes widened with curiosity. ”Time-space bullets? What are those? Some kind of black technology from outer space?”

Miss Lili stepped forward to continue the explanation. ”What you don’t understand, Fatso, is that with these so-called ’time-space bullets,’ when Zhao Rong pulls the trigger here, an American on the other side of the ocean pulls the trigger on an identical gun at the exact same time. The bullet that hit you was fired by that American.”

When the fat man heard he had been shot by an American from thousands of miles away, he refused to believe it. ”That’s nonsense! A rifle’s maximum range is only a few kilometers. How could someone possibly shoot me all the way from the United States?”

Seeing his disbelief, Yu Lan stepped forward to explain. ”That’s the beauty of time-space bullets. As long as you log into the Paradise Shopping Cart app and purchase them, you can aim a toy gun at any bad guy. When you pull the trigger, a real bullet is fired from across the ocean and hits your target. That’s what a time-space bullet is.”

As she spoke, Yu Lan pulled the trigger of her toy Uzi. Instantly, a burst of real Uzi bullets stitched the ground right next to the fat man. When he picked up one of the spent casings and saw its place of manufacture was listed as Tel Aviv, Israel, he immediately believed her about the so-called time-space bullets.

At the same time, the assistant fired a round from the Type 38 into the ground nearby. The fat man scrambled to pick up the shell casing, and when he saw it was manufactured in the Island Country, his conviction became absolute.

At that moment, the fat man was filled with profound regret. Weeping as he knelt, he pleaded for his life. ”Oh, valiant heroes! I was blind not to recognize your greatness! I truly misjudged you! Please, spare me! I don’t want to die!”
