‘Did Gu Yan still partic.i.p.ate in the shooting compet.i.tion?’
‘With her injured hand?’
‘Would she even be able to hold her gun steady?’
‘What’s more, she dares to shoot?’
‘What a joke!’
‘Did the Logistics Department really have no one else?’
These thoughts flashed across Shen Nana’s mind.
Xu Yue, who was from the Medical Department, was also bewildered. She had heard Gu Yan’s hand was badly hurt. Thinking back to how Shen Nana approached her recently and offered a proposition, she was certain Shen Nana had something to do with it.
Upon seeing the state of Gu Yan’s right hand, which was wrapped in cloth, there was no room for any doubts.
‘But then, why did Gu Yan attend the compet.i.tion with her condition?’
Gu Yan kept quiet when she entered the shooting range.
However, her gem-like eyes sharply glanced across the faces of the crowd. She carefully studied their expressions.
‘The person who appears to receive the greatest shock during this time will most likely be the mastermind.’
Although everyone was quite stunned upon seeing the linen wrapped around her hand, there were two people who revealed another emotion in addition to shock.
Gu Yan grinned coldly.
During this time, Guo Rou was currently preparing for the compet.i.tion. When she noticed the arrival of Gu Yan, her eyes lit up. She waved her hand at her comrade happily. “Gu Yan, over here. The Logistics Department is here!”
When Gu Yan moved closer, Guo Rou was both happy and worried.
The happiness corresponds to her appreciation of Gu Yan’s representation for the Logistics Department during the shooting compet.i.tion. If Gu Yan was absent, the department wouldn’t fare badly, provided that Lin Xiaoyu was present. The latter possessed some decent skills. Moreover, her hand wasn’t the one injured.
But Lin Xiaoyu didn’t appear the entire day.
Guo Rou saw Lin Haoran just then. After asking, she realized Lin Xiaoyu was taken away by the Lin family due to health reasons.
Her injuries, though affecting her face, were lighter than Gu Yan’s.
‘Why couldn’t she come then?’
At this time, Guo Rou was truly and absolutely disappointed in Lin Xiaoyu.
Lin Xiaoyu didn’t have any sense of collective honor.
Guo Rou may be happy regarding Gu Yan’s partic.i.p.ation, but the former looked at the latter’s hand worriedly.
She said, “Gu Yan, you came to the shooting compet.i.tion. Your hand…”
“It’s fine, I can shoot with my left hand.”
She had to thank Han Jiao’s misconception of her skills. Being left-handed was a perfect excuse.
Guo Rou heard her response, and her eyes lit up. She patted Gu Yan’s shoulder firmly. “Really? Gu Yan, you’re amazing!”
“Aiyo, be gentle. I was almost blown away by you.” Gu Yan intentionally jumped and played around with Guo Rou.
Their voices weren’t discreet either. Everyone around them heard the exchange. Their moods varied a little.
Xu Yue looked down…
Gu Yan was injured, but she still attended the compet.i.tion.
‘She didn’t consider them a threat at all?’
‘Or there was another reason?’
Shen Nana, on the other side, looked venomously at Gu Yan.
‘Her hand might end up crippled, and yet, she still came?!’
‘Gu Yan, just how much do you want to hog the limelight?!’
The higher-ups on the stage also started discussing the matter.
Lin Haoran was absent-minded. His mind had wandered. He almost lost his composure when he saw Gu Yan enter the compet.i.tion area.
He looked at Lu Ye and said seriously, “Lu Ye, how can you play around like this? Comrade Gu Yan’s hand is injured. The doctor last night informed you the damage is extensive. You still let her partic.i.p.ate in the shooting match?! Do you want her hand to end up disabled?”
