Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down novel Chapter 73

The bullet flew over in silence. Then, it was followed by a muffled grunt. Winona’s heart was thumping vigorously. Her hands were full of sweat, “Matt, did I ... kill someone?”

“Haha! The son of a bitch has a long lifespan. Relax, he will not die.”

After saying that, Matt turned on the light. Only then Winona could see the person’s appearance clearly. He was in a pink shirt, flowery suit, white pants. His clothing made him look flirty. However, his appearance even made him look like a coquettish woman. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a small face and red thin lips.

He was wiping the blood dripped on his earlobe with a tissue. Then, he spoke with a wry face, “Oh my god, Matt! You want to murder me?”

Matt was sitting on the sofa. He let Winona sit on his laps and said, “He was the winning dealer ten years ago, the boss behind the North Zenith, Anton Cruz.”

Anton Cruz winked at Winona and said, “The pistol is a meeting gift for you.”

Matt threw the mini earphones onto the table. At that moment, only did Winona know that Matt had the same level of gamble skill as her in the casino even he was the most outstanding general on the battlefield. Thus, the reason that they were able to win the games all the way was all because of his tips.

“So, are we considered cheating?”

“Who dares to say so?”

Anton couldn't help tsking when looking at the two of them being lovey-dovey “Matt, you're really calculating. I can understand you want to please your wife, but you even dragged me in. Wow... You have to know that there was once someone who wanted to buy this L'amore Fino Alla Fine with 30 million.”

Matt lifted his eyelids towards him disdainfully, “If there were no one protecting you, do you think you can still run your business? This L'amore is the protection racket for these years. After this, we do not owe each other anymore.”

Anton served tea for the two of them fawningly, “So you mean I actually made some benefits? Matt, it is such a loss that you do not go and run a business. Or do you want to come and work with me after you retire? I promise that I will treat you like the god of wealth.”

“Retire? Then you can wait until I die.”

He loved this career. It seemed that he had always had the blood of soldier running in his body. It was just like the snow leopard that cannot leave the snowfield and the tiger that cannot leave the mountain.

After a while, a pretty girl walked over. Anton instructed her, “Macy, show Winona around the casino.”

Matt rubbed Winona’s palm and said, “Go ahead. He has a lot of precious things here. Go and take whatever you like.”

Winona knew that the two men wanted to discuss some confidential matters. Thus, she followed the girl Macy to go out.

Anton lit a cigar for Matt, “Alright, Matt, tell me, what is your matter?”

Matt tilted his head and exhaled a puff of smoke. The smoke made his handsome face look blurred. It also condensed the worry in his eyes. Anton was muttering in his heart. ‘Other than women, even a man like me would be attracted by Matt, this kind of man.’

“Help me to check his details before he took over the position.”

Then, he threw a stack of photos to Anton, who was so shocked when he saw the person in the photos clearly, “The President? Aren’t the two of you allies?”

“That’s why. Since my identity is not suitable to go for it, I entrusted you with this matter.”

“What do you want to check?”

“Use all your connections to find out whether he is related to the case ten years ago.”

He placed the phone in front of him. The title of the article was eye-catching, "Accidental Death of the Richest Man’s Wife".

“The wife of the Winston family? Oh, is it related to your wife?”

Anton was smart. He could relate Winona with the president immediately. He looked at Matt and worried for him subconsciously, “What will you do if it turns out that the president is really the murderer who killed Winona’s mother?”

On one side was Matt’s ally, the other side was his woman. That was really a difficult choice for him. He did not expect to get an answer from Matt who didn't even hesitate before saying, “I don’t care whether he is the king or what, if she wants to take revenge, I will go with her even if she is going to the sea of fire”

Anton was laughing after hearing such an answer from Matt, “It seems that you really had fallen in love with Winona.”

He would never believe that Matt would say such words when it was in the past. It seemed that the saying was just right, "People in love will have lower IQ". Even Matt could not escape from a fate too.

“Matt, you ... It is not easy for you to reach your current position. If you are going to give up all your effort for a woman, it seems like...”

Matt frowned slightly and answered, “Do you think that a person who can even give up his wife and child would have morality and righteousness in his heart? Will you still follow this kind of person?”

Anton was speechless when he got such a reply from Matt. He kept the photos and said, “Alright, I will inform you as soon as I get any news.”

At the same time, Winona followed Macy to walk around the casino. She found that the place was not only a casino, but it was also place that combined entertainment and leisure activities together. It was as big as a palace. She felt that she would get lost when walking around there if she was not guided by Macy.

“Do you like to swim?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Then I am going to show you the pool on the roof.”

“Wow, a rooftop pool! Does it mean that I can drink wine while enjoying the beautiful scenery at night?”

Macy laughed and replied, “Yes, you are right. However, there is no protection in the pool. So, you have to be careful.”

After hearing that, Winona became more excited, “This is really a good idea.”

“This idea is from our boss.”

“Well, he does look like a playboy.”

Macy retorted hurriedly, “Our boss is a good person.”

Winona glanced at Macy and gave her a knowing smile. Macy was flushing. Winona had experienced that as well. Thus, how could she not know about her feeling?

The two of them were chatting when going to the fitting room.

“Macy, how many years have you been with your boss?”

“Seven years.”

“Didn’t you confess to him during these seven years?”

“I did. But I was rejected by him every time.”

Winona was thinking that Macy was a pretty girl with good characteristics. Thus, most likely a man would fall in love with this kind of woman. When she thought of the coquettish look of Anton, she felt sympathetic and patted Macy’s shoulder suddenly, “I think you better don’t waste more time on him.”

“Why?”

“Even seven years of living together can’t let him fall in love with you, so, he must be gay.”

Macy’s face turned pale at the moment. Winona felt a bit uneasy, “Is he often meeting with Matt.”

Macy nodded and said, “The two of them often talk until late at night. Then, they will sleep together after that.”

“Sleeping together?”

Oh, Jesus! It turned out that the person he loved is Matt? No wonder he appeared in their room suddenly in silence. Then, he just made a sound when they were about to do their exercise. That man had his own intentions.

She was shocked when thinking of that possibility. She even lost interest to enjoy the beauty of the pool.

Suddenly, some embraced her from her back with a strong force. Then, she fell into the pool and the man was hugging her body tightly. After that, their bodies sank to the bottom of the water. She started to feel suffocated slowly.
