HUN Chapter 3: Completing the Revenge from His Previous Life!

Lin Yu'an shook his head and immediately pulled his thoughts back.

The nightmare from his previous life was about to cruelly unfold before his eyes again!

But in this life, he was not unprepared!

When he rushed into the supermarket earlier, he had briefly returned to the pickup and retrieved a fully loaded Glock 19 from the hidden compartment under the seat.

If he had a chance for revenge this time, he never wanted to experience the powerlessness and despair of using a pen from his previous life again!

He gently patted Aliya's back and whispered in her ear in a voice only they could hear, "Aliya, don't be afraid, stay here, don't move! Trust me!"

Although Aliya was still shaken, seeing Lin Yu'an's determined eyes, she nodded vigorously! She had always trusted Lin Yu'an this way, unwavering in her faith.

At the other end of the supermarket, that lunatic in the dark hoodie was pointing his modified AR-15 at a trembling young mother.

Lin Yu'an hesitated no longer. He drew the Glock 19 from behind his back, skillfully pulled the slide to chamber a round, and using the shelves as cover, crawled toward the direction where the gunman was speaking.

Texas law included the "Stand Your Ground Law," which meant that even if you weren't in your own "castle," if you faced threats that had already occurred or were about to occur that could cause serious harm to life or body, you usually didn't need to retreat and could use reasonable force for self-defense.

The mother held a baby tightly in her arms, and the infant was crying loudly due to the sudden loud noise.

"Hey, sweetheart~ Now, I'll give you a choice. You and the little cutie in your arms, only one can live."

"You choose! I'll count to five, and if you don't choose, you'll both go meet God!"

The lunatic let out a hoarse and sickly laugh, his gun barrel swaying back and forth between the mother and baby.

The young mother's face was deathly pale, tears streaming down her cheeks, but her eyes were unusually determined.

Without hesitation, she screamed with all her strength, "Please... please let my child live! I beg you!"

The smile on the lunatic's face became increasingly twisted, with a kind of mocking cruelty.

"Oh? What touching maternal love! Too bad I never had any."

"Hehe, just kidding! Blonde white chicks are really so easy to fool! What I never had, this little cutie in your arms certainly can't have either~"

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a kind of mad ferocity, "You two are both going to meet God today!"

As he spoke, his finger slowly squeezed the trigger!

At this critical moment!

"Hey! Look here!"

A roar like thunder exploded in the chaotic supermarket!

The lunatic named Derek's whole body shuddered, his finger on the trigger instinctively paused, and he looked back in shock toward the sound.

He saw an Asian man he didn't recognize standing by a shelf about ten meters away.

Before he could react, Lin Yu'an had already moved!

Without any hesitation, without any delay! He instantly executed an American-style quick draw, magazine-emptying technique!

"Bang, bang, bang"

Fifteen 9mm Parabellum rounds, in less than three seconds, all poured violently from the Glock 19's barrel!

The twisted expression and shock on this perverted lunatic's face were frozen forever.

He didn't even have time to turn his gun barrel around, nor to let out a scream. His chest and head exploded in bursts of blood as he fell backward powerlessly, crashing heavily onto the cold floor.

Lin Yu'an's chest heaved violently, his right hand holding the Glock 19 trembling slightly. All the regret, self-blame, sadness, and despair from his previous life, all that endless pain, seemed to find an outlet for release in these fifteen gunshots! When Derek fell to the ground, the massive stone that had been weighing on Lin Yu'an's heart for countless days and nights suddenly shattered.

An unprecedented sense of relief flooded through his entire body. At this moment, the world seemed to regain its color and sound.

"Aliya!"

He suddenly snapped back to reality. The police would arrive soon, and he didn't dare continue holding the Glock 19. After placing it on the shelf, he turned and rushed toward the diaper pile.

Aliya was still crouched there. When Lin Yu'an helped her up, she looked at him through tear-filled eyes, her gaze full of trust.

"Darling, you..." her voice carried a sob.

Lin Yu'an didn't speak, only embraced her tightly in his arms again.

"It's okay now, Aliya, everything's over, it's okay now." He whispered repeatedly in her ear.

Sharp police sirens grew closer, breaking the brief calm inside the supermarket.

Soon, several armed police officers rushed in, quickly controlling the scene and scanning everything with alert eyes.

When they saw Derek lying in a pool of blood with his menacing AR-15 beside him, and Lin Yu'an's Glock pistol placed on the shelf, the officers immediately went on high alert.

"APD! Drop your weapon!" With confirmation from the blonde white mother, the officer quickly targeted Lin Yu'an.

Lin Yu'an slowly raised his hands, indicating he posed no threat, "The gun is over there, it's empty. That person was the shooter, he wanted to hurt the woman with the baby."

At this moment, the mother holding the baby also came to her senses. She cried to the police in confirmation, "It was him! It was him who saved us! That man who fell down was the lunatic, he wanted to kill me and my child!"

She pointed at Derek's corpse, then at Lin Yu'an.

Several other shaken customers also testified, describing the heart-stopping scene that had just occurred.

The police quickly assessed the scene. The AR-15 beside Derek, the scattered shell casings, and the testimony of multiple witnesses all pointed to one clear fact.

An older officer stepped forward, signaling his colleagues to lower their weapons while still maintaining alertness, "Sir, please cooperate with our investigation. What's your name?"

"Lin Yu'an."

"Is that Glock yours?"

"Yes, I have a carry permit."

Lin Yu'an spent the next several hours at the police station, detailing the course of events.

Lin Yu'an calmly laid out everything. He had simply come to find his wife, happened to be carrying a gun, and in lawful self-defense at the supermarket, had killed the perpetrator who was attempting to commit murder.

Texas law was relatively lenient regarding self-defense, especially when facing an actively attacking gunman, where the right to self-defense was greatly expanded.

The preliminary investigation results, combined with numerous witness testimonies and the supermarket's surveillance footage, were all extremely favorable to Lin Yu'an.

That evening, with the assistance of a lawyer, Lin Yu'an was allowed to post bail.

Walking out of the police station, the night breeze was cool. Aliya clung tightly to Lin Yu'an's side, as if only this way could she feel safe.

She called softly, her voice carrying endless tenderness, "Darling... thank you."

Lin Yu'an gripped her hand tightly, looking at her slightly pale and frightened face, his heart full of tenderness.
