Chapter 263 Amazed Them Again! (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)
Two and a half hours later, Zhang Jingdong, seeing that they still hadn't arrived, asked Yan Ning, "Where the heck is his shooting club located? Why haven't we arrived yet?"
Yan Ning replied, "Fruit Mountain."
"Fruit Mountain?" Zhang Jingdong's face lit up with surprise: "Isn't there a wild animal hunting ground there?"
Yan Ning nodded: "Exactly, his shooting range is built inside the hunting ground."
Suddenly, Zhang Jingdong seemed to remember something, "What does the shooting competition usually consist of? It's not like the Olympic Games, is it?"
"No, there are generally two types of combat: individual combat and team battle. Regardless of the format, the principle is to give the same number of bullets, and the side that hunts the most large animals wins."
Zhang Jingdong, seemingly contemplative, nodded: "Then this shooting competition of his seems even tougher than the training exercises organized by Xu Zhong!"
Yan Ning said with deeper meaning: "Xu Zhong is government-affiliated. His training exercises are designed to foster obedience, while Ye Zhinan is a businessman. He's created this hunting ground and shooting club to awaken everyone's vigor and unity."
Qin Yu chimed in: "Both of them organize these competitive activities to select people they can use, and if I had to guess, Xu Zhong has already chosen you."
Zhang Jingdong was momentarily confused: "He chose me? But how come I wasn't aware of it?"
Yan Ning teased: "The fact that he let you have Liang Feng indicates that he's chosen you. Otherwise, do you think you could have safely returned?"
Qin Yu added: "That's also why Ye Zhinan dares not harm you in private because ultimately, he does not want to offend Xu Zhong."
After giving it some thought, Zhang Jingdong asked, "But why did he choose me?"
"Of course, to be his silent partner. But you might be the most autonomous and beneficial silent partner in history. Of course, this is also because your own strength is strong enough."
Speaking of this, Yan Ning took the initiative to put a hand on Zhang Jingdong's shoulder: "Cooperating with Xu Zhong is indeed more beneficial than not, but I hope you can always draw a line in your heart, knowing what you can do and what you can't do."
At this point, Zhang Jingdong vaguely understood, and hesitantly said, "But Xu Zhong hasn't sought me out since I returned."
"When you're strong enough, he will naturally come to you, but I believe that time should come soon because your growth is incredibly rapid, and sometimes your potential is unimaginably strong."
"Indeed, sometimes I even doubt if you are an alien because your capabilities are simply too..."
As Qin Yu spoke, she saw Zhang Jingdong suddenly look at her, his lips carrying a hint of a mischievous smile, and her face instantly blushed.
Zhang Jingdong then pursed his lips: "Qin Yu, I know it's been a while since you've been to class, but that doesn't mean you can call me an alien... Aliens aren't as awesome as I am!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ning and Qin Yu simultaneously rolled their eyes at someone.
The trio laughed and joked for another half hour when finally, Zhang Jingdong could see the forest at the foot of Fruit Mountain from afar.
"Finally there!"
At this moment, Qin Yu remarked, "After entering, it'll be another half-hour drive to the club."
"What!?" Zhang Jingdong burst into a frustrated laugh: "I should have driven us myself!"
Just as his words fell, Yan Ning's phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it and then answered, "Hello, Sister Feng!"
"Where are you guys now?"
"We've just entered the forest, we should arrive in half an hour at most."
"And him?"
"He's with us."
"Then why didn't you let him drive you? You could have gotten there much earlier, making me wait for so long!"
"We're in his car."
"What? You're in the same car with him? And you still take my call! Annoying, I was planning to give him a surprise!"
Yan Ning teased, "You can't blame me for that; you were the one who couldn't resist telling him you knew me, and then I couldn't resist revealing our true relationship to him. Okay, I'm switching to speakerphone..."
With that, she hit the speakerphone button.
Liang Feng immediately said to Zhang Jingdong, "Boss Zhang, since they're both in your car, why aren't you driving? You could have arrived much earlier! I've been waiting for almost an hour here!"
Zhang Jingdong sighed, "You can't blame me for that. If they're in the same car with me, do you think I can drive?"
"Ah, women lead to disaster!"
Qin Yu instantly retorted, "Sister Feng, now you're already someone's woman, why are you still acting like a man?"
Upon hearing Qin Yu, Sister Feng got fired up: "None of your business, I am Teacher Shu's man!"
"Sorry, my man has already conquered you, so in front of him, you're the woman!"
Sister Feng got anxious, "Hmph... Zhang Jingdong I hate you! Why did you have to get to know Qin Yu first, this bad woman? If you had known me first, no matter what, I would never let you accept her!"
"Sister Feng, if you regret it, why don't you just drop out now and continue being someone's man?"
"Qin Yu, get lost. Why should I be the one to drop out? If anyone's dropping out, it should be you! Apart from being underhanded, in what aspects are you stronger than me and Teacher Shu?"
Qin Yu quickly adopted a lawyer-like tone: "Sorry, as human beings, the brain is our most crucial part. Only those with capable minds can be stronger!"
"Then why do you always lose to me in single combat?"
"Losing to you doesn't matter, but I've won someone over!"
