Chapter 538

At around 7:20 p.m., he took up his sniper position.

It had already grown dark.

Although Nanshi was the old city and very prosperous, it was still far from the French Concession. Apart from a few streets around the old City God Temple, it was basically impossible to see anyone after 8 p.m.

Especially along the river, after 7 p.m., apart from the dock workers, no one else would come here.

After a long day of hard labor, the workers are eager to go home for a meal, a rest, and a good night’s sleep.

Wu Siba will definitely not choose to board the boat when there are many people around.

This is a psychological reaction of human beings, not wanting to be discovered. Therefore, he will definitely wait until almost everyone on the pier has left.

Inside the Nanshi Detention Center:

Wang Ji’an specially prepared a table of sumptuous food and wine to see Wu Sibao off. Since they are sworn brothers, he naturally knows what Wu Sibao likes.

Therefore, they are all Wu Sibao’s favorite foods.

In addition to Wu Sibao, there is also Yu Bailu, who is responsible for protecting Wu Sibao along the way. There are a total of four people in the group.

Yu Bailu also brings two subordinates with him. In addition to being responsible for protection, they also have the task of escorting, so they cannot let Wu Sibao sneak back halfway, or there will be a big problem.

Wu Sibao was a scumbag, but he wasn’t stupid. He knew that he was taking the fall for Lin Shiqun this time. Lin Shiqun had come to talk to him personally the night before, promising that he would let him come back after a year at most in Yuhang, and that Lin Zhijiang would take care of things in Shanghai until he returned.

Even though that was what he said, it wouldn’t change the reality if he didn’t agree. He was being targeted by Cheng Mo, and he was really afraid.

How did his good friend Zhang Guozhen die, and how did Gu Laoqi get framed and sent to prison, where he has yet to be released?

The Japanese couldn’t get to him, and they eventually gave up.

This guy has a grudge against his boss, and now that he’s got the chance, he’s not going to let him off the hook.

He’s even got a legitimate reason to cause trouble. Can he say that Lin Shiqun was the one who did it?

No, if he did, Lin Shiqun might get off lightly, but he would be in trouble. His life could be over.

The dinner lasted from 6:00 to around 8:00. Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Jinan arranged for a car to take the four of them to the pier.

Wu Sibao was depressed and had drunk quite a lot, but he was not drunk. Yu Bailu naturally did not dare drink much, as he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He only had two drinks at first, because he could not refuse the drinks offered. This was not comparable to his usual drinking.

A small black car lifted the black night curtain and drove on the bumpy cobblestone road. The car was not going fast, just a little faster than riding a bicycle.

The ship would set sail at nine o’clock.

It would take no more than ten minutes to get from the Nanshi Guard Office to the pier. It was the middle of the night, and there were not many people on the street, so the car could go a little faster.

Just as Wu Sibao’s car pulled out of the Nanshi Guard Office, a telephone on the second floor of a small building across the street started ringing.

The bell of a public telephone booth near the sniper point chosen by Cheng Mo rang.

It rang three times in succession and stopped.

This was the signal that the person was approaching. Cheng Mo’s spirits lifted, and his body tensed up instantly. In the dark, although the position he had chosen was in a good direction, he only had one chance.

It was quite difficult to hit a target in the back passenger compartment of a car at a speed of about 40 miles per hour from a distance of nearly 50 meters with poor visibility.

This is what he said. Only he can accomplish this task. No one else, including Kui Zi, whom he personally pointed out, is so sure.

He has experienced night battles and has shot down devils more than once in night battles. He has this kind of experience, which Liu Guoxing and the others do not have.

It is completely different for those who have been to war and those who have not.

Calculating the time, if there are no detours, Wu Sibao’s car should reach his position in ten minutes. In night sniping, in addition to the usual factors such as wind speed and humidity, one must also consider line of sight and the obstruction of cloud cover in the sky.

The slightest interference could result in mission failure.

Cheng Mo naturally took all factors into account, even the crosswind that might suddenly blow in from the river.

Time passed by the minute, and Cheng Mo even felt a little dampness on his back, after all, it had been a long time since he had personally taken on a mission like this.

A little bit of nervousness is only natural.

The sound of the car’s engine is easy to distinguish in the silence of the night. Although it is not very far away, the Bund in the foreign concession is bustling with traffic and full of singing and dancing, but only this short distance away, Nanshi is quiet as a sleeping child.

Drip!

Here it comes!

Cheng Mo quickly gripped the handle of the gun, with his right index finger resting on the trigger. The bullet was not chambered, so he needed to adjust it a little and find a suitable position.

In addition, he needs to find the target first.

The target is in the car, and the field of view is very small, there are also obstructions. If the back seat curtain is drawn, the difficulty of the sniper will definitely increase exponentially. Therefore, when the car appears in sight, it is necessary to determine the location of the target in the car.

And then, it all depends on one’s ability.

Usually, the protected person will sit in the center of the back row, but Wu Sibao is not a criminal, so no one knows where he will sit.

On a hot day, a car is like a sealed can, so the windows will probably be opened, but not necessarily…

If he’s being cautious, he might only open the window a third of the way, as long as there’s wind blowing in.

At night, there’s no daytime heat. With the curtains drawn, even if someone walks past, they won’t be able to see clearly who’s sitting in the back.

If they can’t see from the side, then they’ll have to look from the front.

The front windshield of the car can’t be covered, so how can they see the road clearly?

Cheng Mo had seen Wu Sibao’s face countless times, and he had memorized every feature on his face.

There were no street lamps, and the car wasn’t driving fast, giving Cheng Mo plenty of time.

Looking sideways through the scope of his rifle, Cheng Mo saw Wu Sibao sitting in the middle of the back seat of the car. He had the signature crooked mouth and chin, and he knew it well.

His eyes were closed and his head tilted back, obviously quite relaxed.

This would have been a very good shooting range. If it were daytime, Cheng Mo would definitely not hesitate to take this shot.

But it was dark, and the distance was a bit far. For the sake of safety, he wanted to place it within the range of 50 meters.

But in that case, the shooting range would not be as good, and he would have to seize the opportunity to fire in an instant, an opportunity that would only come once.

Cheng Mo loaded the bullet, and the slight 鈥渃lick鈥� sound was very pleasant, causing him to quickly enter a state of mind.

Gun and man become one!

The car is approaching, already within 50 meters of a straight line.

Adjust your breathing and fine-tune the muzzle.

Here it is, this is the point.

Cheng Mo pulled the trigger without hesitation.
