The acupuncture master was surprisingly adept at using forums...
A post titled "An Astonishing Upset Regarding Xiao A'luo!" was instantly bumped back to the top.
When Luo Xiaole saw the ID "Hua Tuo in the World of Needles," she knew it was that master...
Truly, once the master makes a move, you know there's something to it!
Only now did Luo Xiaole understand why that master had fabricated the scenario of gangsters attacking her in the villa...
Turns out he was a master storyteller from the start!
In the post, he exuberantly and passionately elaborated, with great flourish, on just how miraculous Luo Xiaole's medicine was!
He wrote of a wife, previously bedridden and critically ill, who leaped from her bed after taking the medicine!
He described a child rushing forward, tears streaming down his face like a vast ocean...
He recounted how, after taking the medicine, he was completely cured and even performed several somersaults on the spot...
Everyone reading was left stunned...
"Isn't this just another form of a hater..." Luo Xiaole covered her head. This master was truly a master of disguise... The real person wasn't like this at all...
"What the heck? Is this guy a comedian?" The onlookers were dumbfounded...
Luo Shu and the others also held their foreheads, about to roll up their sleeves and reply.
Suddenly, they noticed Mo Chen sitting beside them with a blank expression, typing furiously.
Curious, they leaned in to see.
"But he wasn't wrong... there were indeed two types of medicine in one package, I checked..."
"Could what he said be true?"
"Holy cow comrades, I just tried it. While his descriptions were exaggerated, it actually seems to have worked! My illness is gone!"
"No way, no way... I'll try it too?"
Watching Mo Chen silently using alternate accounts, impersonating different people and aggressively driving the narrative below...
Everyone was petrified...
Had they all gone mad today?
Was this still Mo Chen?
How could this guy be so skilled at forums...
What other secrets did they not know about him...
After a wave of manipulation, some people, thinking it was worth a shot, decided to try it out.
"Brothers, charge! I tried it and it's real! If I'm lying, a zombie will run me over tomorrow!"
"??? My illness is gone too! What's the principle behind this..."
As more and more people tried it, this trend grew larger and larger...
"We... were wrong about her again!"
"Sorry, Xiao A'luo! You are my god! I will never doubt you again!"
"Wuwuwu, I can't believe I thought she was that kind of person... I'm crying so hard..."
"Why are so many people defending her? Is she marketing herself now? So disgusting!"
"The medicine yesterday harmed people so badly, and you still dare to take it recklessly? I'm really impressed..."
Although some people refused to accept it, about eighty percent of them ultimately couldn't overcome their curiosity. After a determined try, they felt reborn.
"Phew... is this matter over now?" Lin Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief.
"We'll only become more of a target now, won't we?" Luo Xiaole shook her head with a bitter smile.
"They've already failed twice," Luo Xiaole shrugged. "Next, there will likely be a storm."
She didn't know that a storm was already waiting outside the villa...
"What else can we do now..." Luo Shu patted his round belly.
"We haven't practiced shooting yet, right? Let's go, no time to lose. The wind outside has also stopped. Let's go practice shooting with Teacher Mo," Luo Xiaole said, ready to act.
She had tried it herself before, but due to the recoil, she couldn't hit the target.
The situation was getting more serious, she had to master this skill quickly!
If the acupuncture master needed a gun for protection, so did she, just in case she needed it later!
...
Outside the villa.
Several dark figures had gradually blended into the shadows beside the flower beds.
With a silver dagger clutched in their left hand and a gun raised in their right, they watched Luo Xiaole and the others who had already walked into the courtyard, ready to strike.
The leader, pulling his mask up further, made a highly professional hand gesture, confirming the assassination target this time.
"Priority assassination, Luo Xiaole." Their pistols were all raised.
Dark muzzles were pointed in Luo Xiaole's direction.
Luo Xiaole, following Mo Chen's instructions, had positioned herself with her back to the assassins, aiming at a distant target.
A tree.
"Ah!" she suddenly exclaimed.
The assassins' fingers, gripping the triggers, twitched.
"What a pity, just a little bit more!" she stomped her foot.
The assassins breathed a sigh of relief, raised their guns, and adjusted their angles again.
"Teacher Mo, you said that adopting a certain posture can reduce the impact of recoil, is it like this? Is my posture correct?" Her eyes were fixed on the distant tree, but her peripheral vision was locked onto Mo Chen.
"Pay attention to your shoulder position. Flatten your hands a bit more..." Mo Chen was very serious while teaching. He didn't notice Luo Xiaole's lingering gaze. He was fully focused on helping Luo Xiaole adjust her aiming posture.
Then, his hand, like a feather, gently landed on Luo Xiaole's wrist, softly lifting her wrist upwards, bit by bit...
"This position." He leaned closer, his lips parting slightly.
Simultaneously, the assassins, aiming at Luo Xiaole, pulled the triggers again.
"Ah!" Luo Xiaole jumped to the side, another cry of surprise.
The bullet grazed her other side.
Although Mo Chen was just teaching, his aura was incredibly captivating. She already had improper thoughts about Mo Chen, and just now, when he was helping her adjust her position, his breath had accidentally sprayed into her ear.
She couldn't bear it and leaped up, almost suffocating!
This damned man, even his casual movements were so alluring!
It was affecting her shooting!
Affecting her progress!
"What's wrong with this sprout? Is she a worm? She keeps wriggling, I can't hit her at all!" the assassin cursed inwardly!
"Follow my command! Now aim at Luo Xiaole's direction and fire from four angles simultaneously!" the team leader gritted out.
"Yes!" the others responded with satisfaction.
"No, the target is too far, my hands are too shaky. I'd better practice with something closer..." Luo Xiaole sighed. She still couldn't overcome the recoil of the handgun.
"Oh? This flower bed looks good!" Luo Xiaole turned around and found that the distance to the flower bed was just right for her. Behind the flower bed were several signs, which could serve as targets for shooting practice.
"Bang!" She fired a shot.
"Uh...?" The assassination squad leader clutched his chest and fell down in disbelief...
They had used invisibility abilities, it was true...
They were hiding behind the flower bed, that was also true.
But the flower bed was so large, and there were so many signs, how could she possibly hit him precisely with one shot!
Cheating?
"Ah, I missed... I was aiming for the sign above..." Luo Xiaole said with a look of regret.
The squad leader, covered in blood, fell down in shock...
This assassination mission hadn't brought a medic, and the bullet had hit him right in the heart.
He died with unconcealed regret.
"Let's see, where should I aim this time..." Luo Xiaole's words suddenly sounded like a death knell, and the others' faces instantly turned pale.
