Genius Club-Chapter 32 Playing a Role

Lin Xian walked towards the west side of the square, where CC’s refresh point was located.

It wasn’t long before Lin Xian found his target—

A woman wearing a black bodysuit underneath, draped in a plaid trench coat, with dark brown hair tied up high, and an Ultraman mask covering her face.

It was CC.

When Lin Xian had seen CC at the bank vault before, she had only been wearing a black bodysuit, just like a spy.

Presumably, she had also felt that her spy outfit was too conspicuous, so she had worn a long trench coat over it to blend in with the crowd in the square.

CC’s long hair, twisted up at the back of her head, was bound with a red ribbon. Round and full, it looked like she had an enviable amount of hair.

But the reality was... there was a gun hidden inside.

CC had a total of two guns on her.

One around her waist, and another hidden in her pinned-up hair.

"Truly a dangerous woman."

As Lin Xian walked towards CC, he scrutinized the details of her figure.

Slim, very thin, with a height of around 165 centimeters.

Very strange...

Not a trace of familiarity, not a single impression.

Had he truly seen this person before?

The feeling was paradoxical.

He was certain that he had heard CC’s voice in reality before.

But it was hard to imagine that a girl with a figure as exquisite as a model’s, if he had truly seen her, wouldn’t have left any impression on him at all.

"Forget it, don’t think too much about it."

Lin Xian walked straight towards CC.

Be it human or ghost, goblin or demon, her mask would soon come off and reveal all!

"Hey."

Lin Xian greeted CC from behind her, watching her as she turned around:

"Code Expert?"

CC looked Lin Xian up and down, not saying a word.

After a long while, she finally nodded slightly, "How should I address you?"

Lin Xian smiled faintly:

"In the underworld, they all call me Big Face Cat, so you can just call me Brother Lian."

Having said that, he pointed to the van by the side of the road:

"The car is over there, follow me."

Then he turned and walked back—

Smack!

A delicate hand firmly pressed on Lin Xian’s shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.

"You’re called Big Face Cat?"

"Yes." Lin Xian didn’t turn around.

"Everyone in the underworld calls you Big Face Cat?"

"That’s right."

CC stared intently at Lin Xian:

"But your face isn’t big at all, so why would others call you Big Face Cat?"

...

...

A hot summer breeze blew past, lifting the red ribbon on CC’s head and a corner of her trench coat.

Neither of them spoke.

But the atmosphere grew even more tense.

Lin Xian suddenly realized... he had oversimplified the matter of impersonating Big Face Cat.

This wasn’t something that could be solved with just a mask.

Being able to fool Big Face Cat with an Ultraman mask was because Big Face Cat was foolish, and it really didn’t have much to do with the mask itself.

CC, being such an intelligent person, was at least 800 times more cautious than Big Face Cat.

Even though she didn’t know Big Face Cat’s appearance, name, or voice... she intuitively felt that Lin Xian was not like a desperado, nor did he seem like someone who would rob a bank.

But fortunately, CC was only suspicious of him now, she hadn’t completely exposed him.

It was still possible to salvage the situation.

...

Lin Xian straightened up and slowly turned around.

CC’s right hand was on his shoulder, her left hand reaching towards the gun at her waist...

"Does being called Big Face Cat necessarily mean one must have a big face?" Lin Xian stared at CC.

"What else would it mean?" CC fixed her gaze on Lin Xian.

"What’s your name, then?"

"CC."

"If we were to follow your logic, you should be called AA, not CC!"

Smack!

Lin Xian shook off the hand on his shoulder without giving her a chance to argue, pocketed his hands, and walked towards the van:

"Take it or leave it! Even without you, the Code Expert, I can still rob with C4."

Lin Xian got into the driver’s seat, closed the door, engaged the gear, floored the accelerator, and the van took off with screeching tires!

Hum————

"Wait a minute!"

CC quickly ran over.

Then she opened the passenger door and sat down.

Crossing her arms, she remained silent, obviously quite displeased.

Lin Xian spread his right hand:

"Give me the gun."

"What will I use if I give it to you?" CC sneered disdainfully.

"You use the one hidden in your hair."

CC’s eyes widened as she stared at Lin Xian.

In the end...

She slapped the handgun from her waist into Lin Xian’s palm.

Then she pulled open the red ribbon that tied up her bun...

Whoosh.

Her smooth, long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, revealing a black gun in CC’s hand.

She bit the red ribbon with her lips, clasped her hair with the heels of her hands, and then re-tied it with the ribbon.

Lin Xian watched all this quietly...

This was probably the reason to use a ribbon instead of a rubber band for tying hair, wasn’t it? It comes undone with just a tug; no wonder Big Face Cat got shot in the head so quickly last time.

Lin Xian picked up the gun in his hand.

He skillfully ejected the magazine, checked the number of bullets, pushed it back in, chambered a round, flipped the gun, and inserted it at his waist, completing the entire process in less than one second.

He then drove the car, looking straight ahead, without uttering a word.

On the surface, he remained silent.

Inside, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, it seemed he had bluffed his way through. So far, everything was going as planned.

Lin Xian’s biggest advantage was that he could try countless times in his dreams, come back countless times, and fail countless times.

Such repeated attempts and trials accumulated almost an overview of the entire situation’s intelligence.

Recalling the first time he encountered Big Face Cat and CC, he was practically toyed with by them, and anyone could have taken him down with a single shot.

But after three or four cycles of exploration... he had mastered every detail of the incident.

With such a vast information gap, he could outmaneuver anyone.

The situation that had just occurred was indeed a bit different from what Lin Xian had planned; he hadn’t expected CC to suspect right away that he wasn’t Big Face Cat.

But this was of no great significance.

After his manipulations, not only had he bluffed his way through, but he had also obtained the critical tool he needed most—

A gun.

Without a gun, he really had no idea how to get past the three underlings.

...

Along the way, the two of them did not exchange a single word.

Ultraman and Rhein Cat maintained a steady gaze straight ahead...

It was anyone’s guess what the passersby thought of the odd-looking van.

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

Lin Xian pulled out the pistol at his waist and signaled CC to get out:

"Follow me, and bring your computer."

After getting out of the car.

Lin Xian and CC hurried towards the bank entrance.

A young man in black was fiddling with something at the entrance. He looked up at Lin Xian, his face confused:

"You—"

Bang!!

A bullet hit him right between the eyes! Blood splattered against the wall!

"Nice shooting," CC said admiringly.

She had watched closely; drawing and firing the gun was completed in just a flash, without any aiming motion.

It was something many people could do if it was just about hitting a target.

But this was a headshot, right between the eyes, without any superfluous aiming...

Only a sharpshooter could be described that way.

"But why did you kill your underling?" CC asked.

Lin Xian pushed the door and entered the bank:

"His hands weren’t clean; such people can’t be kept around."

As they reached a corner.

A masked man stood up in shock, pointing at Lin Xian: "You—"

Bang!!

Another instantaneous headshot, on the mark!

"And why kill this one?"

"He hit on the boss’s wife, what do you think?"

CC looked at Lin Xian in shock:

"He, he cuckolded you?"

"Uh... ah, we have a mutual boss above us, I was talking about that boss’s wife."

They continued forward, and a shadow rushed up from the underground passage—

Bang!!

CC couldn’t help but step back...

He was able to headshot someone who was running so fast, in such dark conditions, and without even aiming!

She touched the pistol and followed Lin Xian:

"How did you train to shoot like this?"

"Nothing special, just practice."

Lin Xian pointed to the all-black wall ahead, with a silver vault door in the middle:

"It’s your turn now, Code Expert."
