AUTHORS POV

Sweet morning as the sun came up. Or not so sweet with all that's happening, but still. The two had already gotten up and now Chen zhouxuan was holding the big gun her father gave her to hold as it was teaching time. Her father stood by her left while telling what to do

"now remember, keep your right foot firm to the ground, your left eye closed, let the barrel drift right above your target. And when your ready, you gently breath out all the air from your lungs and let the barrel fall. You time it so that your breath ends just as you line up your shot. At the bottom of your breath, you squeeze the trigger, you don't pull, you squeeze with your whole hand.... " the gun fired up at the malt can the was sopposed to be the target but it didn't hit the can.
Sean moved forward to the sopposed target
" where you aiming for the can? "

" lower I was aiming for the chest "

" well you didn't squeeze, you pulled. Let's try again"
So Chen pulled up the gun again but the she put it back down.

"what's wrong?" asked sean

"it's too heavy. Can I try the pistol?...... " her father nodded

So she was given a pistol

"it's the same procedure. Just remember to squeeze not pull"  so she did and it landed just below the can. Where she was aiming for. The chest.

Back to Minhang He Peng was having his breakfast served at the motel restaurant when he saw Xiu Qing come in through the main doors in the same old cloths of yesterday and a not so pleased face.
Well here's the thing. It turns out the others didn't come to relive him from his post after the agreed door hours so he had to sleep on the table he was sitting on. Lucky for him the store doesn't pack their tables in at night.

"morning Qing" greeted He Peng with a small smile.

"those cheeky assholes didn't relive me off duty last night. They left me sitting out there all night."

"oh! Is that so?" he took out his phone andade a phone call for the others to be there. 5 mins later Feng Cong and Lu Enjie where standing beside him. "you called boss" Cong said.

"Qing here has a complaint he wholes like to air for the rest of the gang. Go ahead"

"you two had to relive me from the post after for hours,and you did not that's bullshit"

But the two said nothing.
"Qing please accept my apology on their behalf. You see they had to protect the ticket. But not to worry will solve the case at the end with some compensation"

Finally reaching Minhang both father and daughter on the bike stopped at the main gates of the town.

"here's the plan, you'll go first, You find them, you follow them and find your papa. I'll handle the rest"

Normally Chen zhouxuan would argue of the plan not being clear but not today. Just follow the plan.

So she went into town thinking 'where would bad guys hide? Well not ordinary bad guys professionals. Not in a shabby place, definitely not. In a well designed place. I hotel? too expensive. A motel, cheap yeah but not shabby. A motel definitely a motel."

It's not hard to find a motel there where bad guys could hide. the town was not too big even though not too small either, so she just took a little stroll down the town annnnnnd yes spotted.

A motel with a bar at the entrance. Not too packed mainly because it was still afternoon but no problem.
She went in to the bar and went straight to the table.

"good afternoon miss. And what might you be doing here this hot afternoon. A cool drink I guess?"  the bar tender on day shift welcomed her

" well I bet I haven't seen you around these parts, welcome. You a traveler?"

"yes thank you. Water please? " she replied "I'm actually looking for someone. My uncle he said to meet him here but I can't seen to find him."

"Oh! Why don't you call'em" he said as he stood a bottle of water in front of her

"lost my phone on my way here but he did say this was the place I'm sure. So I'll just wait for him. But to be sure are there any other motels around here "

"no miss the next one is a very long way away from these parts"
She nodded.

" got a customer. See ya later then." he said before going to serve a new customer, which he clearly knew by the way they spoke to each other.

She patiently waited at her seat being sure she was at the right place. Few minutes later she heard voices of some men coming into the bar from the steps that lead up to the rooms.

"so how is the ticket?" one of them asked.

"Fine as it can be boss. But I suggest you go check on it soon before it expires" the other man said.

"take me there" the man called the boss said and they started going outside.

Zhouxuan wasn't stupid enough to think they would be talking about some ticket. So see quietly followed.
The men went outside going towards the back of the motel. They took a bending corner so she hurried up to see. Immediately she took the corner she felt a pair of arms hold her own and covered her mouth.

"who the fuck are you and why are you following us" said the other guy. She twisted her left hand using her nail to pinch the man while biting his inner palm. With a yelp the man left her and she started running only to be tackled down by the other guy and knocked out on her house head.

"Can't hold a tiny girl. Useless piece of shit" He Peng scolded Feng Cong

"but boss she pinched and bit me." he argued.

He Peng sighed and shook his head. "Just take her inside and tie her to the chair too"

So Feng Cong did just that.
