Chapter 862 - Nian Xi’s Contest (1/2)

As she finished talking, everyone in the office gasped in shock.

Huo Lizhi looked at her as if she had just told a joke. “Little girl, I’m not your brother, and I don’t care about your family background. You’re no match for me. Just leave.”

His arrogance made Nian Xi so angry, that she was trembling. “As police officers, we should be humble and cautious. Don’t you know that? If you don’t know about me, why do you think you can look down on me? As a man, you started a rumor behind my back. How shameless are you? I won’t argue anymore with you. Let’s do shooting, then combat. I’ll let you see if I’m qualified for the job or not. If it turns out that I’m not good enough, I’ll give up Jiang Yuning’s case; if I win, you’ll apologize to me in front of our colleagues.”

“Nian Xi, stop joking.” Zhan Hong frowned. “Huo Lizhi’s combat skills are at least in the top three in our station. His shooting results ranked number two last year. You can’t win.”

“I don’t have to win. I may not be a match for him, but I only want him to know that I didn’t pull strings to get this job.” Nian Xi looked at Huo Lizhi and said, “You think that I’m not good enough, don’t you? You think I got this job by pulling strings, right? Beat me with your abilities then.”

Huo Lizhi nodded and said, “All right. Since you insist on bringing disgrace on yourself, don’t blame me. But you have promised me that if I win, you won’t take revenge on me in the name of public interest. Everyone in this office is our witness.”

“Sure. If I take revenge on you, I’ll be struck by lightning,” Nian Xi swore.

…

Soon, the entire police station heard about the contest between Nian Xi and Huo Lizhi.

In half an hour, police officers had gathered outside the shooting practice room.

Zhan Hong was the judge. “Ten meters, three bullets. Whoever has the highest score wins. Huo Lizhi, you go first.”

Huo Lizhi stepped forward and shot three bullets. The first shot scored 9.7, the second, 9.6, and the third, 9.9.

The police officers who were watching outside started whispering to each other.

Nian Xi praised him silently. However, Huo Lizhi’s scores had given her great pressure.

Zhan Hong turned to Nian Xi and asked her, “Do you want to give up?”

Nian Xi shook her head and smiled. “As I’ve said, I don’t plan to win him. I’m not eager to win. I just want to prove that women aren’t worse than men.”
