Chapter 166 Provoking Everyone

Although Elder Zhu knew that Zhang Shaohua was in danger, he scoffed at their words! Since Zhang Shaohua dared to steal the flags, he must have had a contingency plan. How could Da Xiong, who appeared so foolish and strong but simple-minded, possibly see through Zhang Shaohua's plan? "Then we'll just have to wait and see!" Elder Zhu didn't bother to say more to these people. It was mainly because only two elders from the Zhang family had come, while most of the people in the training group were condemning Zhang Shaohua's actions. They were outnumbered and wouldn't gain anything by continuing to argue. They might even incur resentment from others! Everyone was part of the observation group, and they would see each other again after this training session. If they damaged their relationships, it wouldn't be beneficial for the Zhang family. Seeing that Elder Zhu and Elder Zhao had stopped speaking, the others also fell silent. They merely shot glares at the two of them from time to time. It was clear that whether it was Zhang Shaohua or these two elders, the Zhang family was extremely disliked! Zhou Yu, watching from the side, almost burst into laughter. He hadn't expected the Zhang family to be so overbearing even after losing Elder Zhong! At this moment, on the small island, Zhang Shaohua continued to pretend to search for flags. However, in reality, the flags in their backpacks were already enough for him to secure first place. He was only searching to divert attention. After all, other teams had more people. If they discovered that Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng had stolen the flags of others, they would be outnumbered. It would be a loss outweighing the gain if the flags were snatched back! At this moment, someone passed by Zhang Shaohua and, seeing him earnestly searching, couldn't help but praise, "Young Master Zhang is truly working hard. It would be unfair if he didn't get first place this time." Zhang Shaohua smiled faintly and replied, "It's nothing, I just want to do my best." The person then glanced at Zhang Shaohua's bulging backpack. Without even opening it, they knew it must be filled with many flags. So, the person curiously asked, "Young Master Zhang, how many have you collected?" "A whole backpack, at least thirty flags!" Zhang Shaohua was clearly not interested in this topic. When asked by others, Zhang Shaohua only humbly said there weren't many. However, the bulging backpack couldn't lie. No one present was blind. They had already seen that Zhang Shaohua's backpack must contain many items. Thus, they all began to speculate. Seeing this, Zhang Shaohua quickly pulled Ouyang Feng away and went to find flags elsewhere. Behind Zhang Shaohua, Da Xiong had just arrived. The person who had just asked Zhang Shaohua immediately told Da Xiong, "Young Master Zhang has already searched this area. Let's move to another place." "Young Master Zhang? Zhang Shaohua?" Da Xiong raised his eyebrows and asked. The person nodded. All the freshmen who could participate in the training came from first-class families in several cities. Therefore, even if they didn't have any acquaintance with Zhang Shaohua, they knew he was the heir of the Zhang family in Yunhai City. "You don't know, Young Master Zhang is too diligent. He's found a whole backpack's worth, it's almost overflowing!" the person described, gesturing with their hands. Da Xiong's spirit suddenly became serious. According to the arrangement of the Dragon Group members, the difficulty of obtaining flags increased gradually. This meant the first ten flags were the easiest to obtain. Most teams only collected a dozen or so yesterday. Even with Zhang Shaohua's efforts, could he create something out of nothing? In the same amount of time, finding twice or even more flags than others? It seemed impossible! After all, twenty-odd small flags wouldn't fill a backpack. Based on this person's description, Da Xiong estimated that Zhang Shaohua must have at least forty or so... "Zhang Shaohua might be the one who stole the flags yesterday!" Da Xiong concluded. The person immediately became incredulous, "That can't be right, the Zhang family from Yunhai City wouldn't do something so undignified!" However, Da Xiong sneered repeatedly. Let alone the Zhang family. Among the freshmen present, weren't they all backed by first-class families? Stealing flags was only possible among the participating freshmen! Because it would be useless for others to steal them! Therefore, it made no difference whether it was Young Master Zhang, Young Master Bian, or Young Master Yuan. "If you want to know if he's the one, just go and ask," Da Xiong said, then lifted his leg and walked in the direction Zhang Shaohua had left. The others exchanged glances. Most of them were there to watch the show and followed behind Da Xiong. "Let's go, let's go see." Zhang Shaohua was currently rummaging in the grass and had actually found a small flag. He expressionlessly put the flag into his backpack and stretched. At this moment, *tap, tap, tap*— Zhang Shaohua pricked up his ears, hearing what seemed like footsteps not far away. It sounded like training boots stepping on the grass. Zhang Shaohua immediately became alert. He pulled Ouyang Feng, intending to hide. But then he thought, if they hid now, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting guilt and confessing without being accused? After much consideration, Zhang Shaohua decided to stand his ground and pretend to search on the spot. He even took out two flags from his backpack and placed them in the grass. When people arrived, they would pretend to discover them! Da Xiong walked quickly. With his long legs, he looked like a big bear, just like his name! When he reached Zhang Shaohua's side, he immediately saw the backpack in Zhang Shaohua's hand. It was indeed bulging, just as the person had said! Da Xiong's expression immediately turned stern. At this moment, Zhang Shaohua was pretending to have found a flag and then looked up, his gaze meeting Da Xiong's. Instantly, Da Xiong's sharp eyes sent a chill down Zhang Shaohua's spine. "Young Master Zhang, working so hard?" Da Xiong asked with a forced smile. Zhang Shaohua frowned, "What? This is a freshman training camp. If you're not working hard, does that mean others can't?" Da Xiong chuckled and did not comment on Zhang Shaohua's words, "I have indeed worked hard, but the fruits of my labor were stolen by two gossipy thieves. Do you know who it is, Young Master Zhang?" Zhang Shaohua deliberately put on an angry expression and said to Da Xiong, "How would I know? What do you mean by that!" "Are you suspecting me?" Da Xiong remained silent, but his eyes said it all. Da Xiong's gaze scanned Zhang Shaohua from head to toe, with a look of disdain, as if looking at something disgusting. Finally, Da Xiong fixed his gaze on the backpack in Zhang Shaohua's hand. Zhang Shaohua instinctively shrunk the backpack behind him and said to Da Xiong righteously, "What, are you going to snatch my flags?" "So many people are watching, be careful!" Da Xiong shrugged. He was silent, but when he spoke, he was astounding! He directly said to Zhang Shaohua, "The backpack you're holding is mine."
