Zhou Yu shrugged and pointed at the surveillance camera on the window.
"Why don't you lift your head and see what this is?"
As Zhang Shaohua looked up, he was completely stunned.
This camera indeed did not cover the direct entrance of Zhou Yu's room.
But it was enough to record everything Zhang Shaohua had done!
"You, you, you..." Zhang Shaohua was dejected, genuinely at a loss for words to defend himself.
He had tried his best to avoid the cameras and stay in their blind spots during his approach.
Who knew that Zhou Yu, being so peculiar, would install one on his room's window?
And he just happened to stumble into it...
"Elder Lin, I suspect Zhang Shaohua is connected to the incident that occurred at our training base before."
"He should be taken in for questioning," Zhou Yu said immediately.
Zhang Shaohua lacked mental fortitude. Once taken away by the Dragon Group, even without resorting to violence, under their interrogation methods, Zhang Shaohua wouldn't last long before confessing everything!
Lin Weidong had already been suspicious of the Zhang family.
Now that Zhou Yu had verifiable evidence, it was the opportune moment to detain Zhang Shaohua for questioning, so he spoke, "Since there is evidence, then Zhang Shaohua, you will come with me."
"No, I didn't do anything! You're framing me!" Zhang Shaohua immediately protested.
"If you truly didn't do it, then we will naturally apologize to you. For now, come back with me for investigation," Lin Weidong said with a stern face.
He appeared unyielding and impartial.
Zhang Shaohua trembled all over, a chill running down his spine.
If he truly fell into the Dragon Group's hands, who could keep his secrets?
Lin Weidong was determined to get to the bottom of this!
Just as Zhang Shaohua was contemplating how to escape, two urgent voices came from behind everyone.
"Stop!"
"Let's see who dares to touch the young master of the Zhang family!"
Zhu Gongfeng and Zhao Gongfeng rushed in.
In fact, they had heard the commotion outside earlier.
After all, they were all in the resting rooms for the observation delegation.
The rooms of the two venerables were not far from Zhou Yu's.
Moreover, Zhang Shaohua and Da Xiong had been arguing so loudly.
Even a deaf person could have noticed something was amiss!
However, both Zhu Gongfeng and Zhao Gongfeng had deliberately not come out.
Firstly, they believed Zhou Yu couldn't do anything to Zhang Shaohua.
After all, Zhou Yu was merely a member of the observation delegation without any significant background, and his words wouldn't carry much weight.
Especially without evidence.
At most, it would result in a verbal spat with Zhang Shaohua.
Secondly, due to the day's events, the two venerables had already become disappointed in Zhang Shaohua.
Naturally, they were unwilling to clean up his mess anymore.
But now, with Lin Weidong's appearance and his intention to take Zhang Shaohua away for questioning, Zhu Gongfeng and Zhao Gongfeng could no longer stand by.
They knew what kind of person Zhang Shaohua was.
If he were truly taken away by Lin Weidong, Zhang Shaohua's mouth wouldn't be able to keep secrets.
He would undoubtedly spill everything.
At that point, both the Zhang family and the Dark Shadow organization would be ruined by Zhang Shaohua's loose tongue!
Having no other choice, the two venerables had to come out to save him.
"Zhu Gongfeng, Zhao Gongfeng, you're finally here!"
Zhang Shaohua, at this moment, was like a drowning man who had found a lifeline.
His eyes were filled with surprise and joy!
However, Zhao Gongfeng didn't even glance at Zhang Shaohua. Zhu Gongfeng's faint gaze swept over him, making Zhang Shaohua feel as though he had been doused with cold water.
Zhao Gongfeng took a breath and then turned to Lin Weidong, saying, "Zhang Shaohua is one of our Zhang family. Without concrete evidence, he cannot accompany you for interrogation."
"Otherwise, where would that place the Zhang family?"
Lin Weidong narrowed his eyes, looking at the two Zhang family venerables who had rushed over, and asked, "But the surveillance camera at Dr. Zhou's door has recorded Zhang Shaohua's actions. Is this not considered evidence?"
"We need to investigate what the powder Zhang Shaohua sprinkled at the door is!"
Zhao Gongfeng glared at Zhang Shaohua with deep disappointment, wishing he could be iron.
Truly incompetent and only good at causing trouble!
If not for Zhang Shaohua's meddling here, their plan would have already succeeded!
However, it seemed inappropriate to reprimand Zhang Shaohua in front of so many people.
So Zhao Gongfeng could only grudgingly defend Zhang Shaohua, "It was just a joke. Our young master is a martial artist, and even if he wanted to act against Dr. Zhou, he wouldn't resort to poisoning."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaohua nodded repeatedly, defending himself, "That's right, I just took some flour to scare Zhou Yu, nothing else."
Lin Weidong felt stifled.
The only one present who understood pharmacology was Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu had prior grievances with the Zhang family, so if he claimed Zhang Shaohua had sprinkled poison, it wouldn't be convincing!
And if the powder were sent for testing, it would be too late...
Zhu Gongfeng and Zhao Gongfeng were banking on this time delay.
They intended to use it to get Zhang Shaohua out of this situation.
Zhao Gongfeng seized the opportunity and continued, "Furthermore, our young master will be staying at the new recruit training base for training. If anything happens, it won't be too late to find him then. Why rush to take him away for interrogation like a criminal?"
"Elder Lin, I believe this would be an embarrassing matter for all the major families, wouldn't it?"
Zhao Gongfeng's final statement carried a hint of threat.
The Zhang family alone, of course, could not pose a threat to the Dragon Group.
But if all the first-tier families united, that would be terrifying!
If Lin Weidong couldn't immediately prove that what Zhang Shaohua sprinkled on the ground was poison, then arbitrarily taking Zhang Shaohua away would only provoke the resentment of the major families!
Don't underestimate these first-tier families. Even though they competed for market resources, they were remarkably united in such situations.
After all, today it might be Zhang Shaohua being taken away, but tomorrow it could be themselves!
Lin Weidong couldn't afford to bear the pressure from so many first-tier families simultaneously...
"Elder Lin, forget it. Since he's making excuses, let him off the hook this time," Zhou Yu interjected at the opportune moment.
He was giving Lin Weidong a way out.
Zhou Yu understood Lin Weidong's predicament.
Although he appeared to be in a high position, he had to balance the forces of various factions.
Arbitrarily arresting Zhang Shaohua would only disrupt the balance.
Therefore, for now, they could only let Zhang Shaohua go!
Lin Weidong, feeling unwilling, glanced at Zhang Shaohua a couple more times, then curled his lips into a meaningful smile. "Alright, since Divine Doctor Zhou has spoken, then I, an old man, should not meddle further."
"However, Zhang Shaohua, you'd better not have any other intentions. Otherwise, the principle that evil deeds will eventually backfire, I believe you understand."
With that, Lin Weidong turned and left directly!
