Chapter 2367 - 2376: Switching the Supportsive Beam with a Rotten One

The Seventh Company didn’t show any hint of a victor’s posture; as soon as the competition ended, they immediately rushed back to their base for a meeting.

In contrast, the atmosphere on the South Sword side was much more relaxed, not at all indicative of that of the losers.

Following the recent competition, the confidence of the South Sword members soared. Initially, during the load-bearing ten-kilometer trials against the Seventh Company, they would fall behind by over five hundred meters.

But today, they managed to close the gap to around one hundred and twenty meters, with Guo Wei and others narrowing it further to just twenty meters!

And that was when they were completely drained of energy!

If they could all reach Guo Wei’s level, if their stamina were at full bar, would they lose to the Seventh Company?

"Good job today, everyone. Go back and rest! By the way, while resting, you can continue to practice the moves I’ve taught you. Aim to hold out for ten minutes in seven days."

"Report to the Chief Instructor, we don’t need seven days, five days will suffice!" Guo Wei suddenly let out a loud roar.

"Five days? Why five days?" Qin Yu looked at Guo Wei with an interested gaze.

"Because in the next four days, we will beat the Seventh Company so bad, their own parents wouldn’t recognize them! We will claim victory in the competition!"

"It’s good to have confidence, and I believe you can do it! Dismissed!"

After speaking, Qin Yu strolled leisurely toward the barracks’ exit. He promised Zhao Muchen to come over for two hours every day, and now those two hours had passed.

However, Qin Yu had only taken a few steps when Yang Bingbing suddenly rushed up to block his path.

Qin Yu was taken aback. What was Yang Bingbing planning?

"Instructor, are you a formal member of Dragon Group or Dragon Flame?"

Yang Bingbing’s eyes were blazing; she needed a target to strive for!

After a pause, Qin Yu softly said, "Dragon Flame."

Dragon Flame?

Those two words sent Yang Bingbing into excitement; indeed it was Dragon Flame, no wonder Zhou Feng did not recognize the instructor!

So, the instructor was not a regular member of Dragon Group, but of Dragon Flame!

Instructor, I swear I will proudly step into the doors of Dragon Flame; I will definitely follow in your footsteps!

I want to follow you... for a lifetime.

Having got her answer, Yang Bingbing did not linger around Qin Yu. What she needed now was to practice, practice, and practice some more, to avoid falling further behind Qin Yu!

Qin Yu was the Chief Instructor of Southern Sword Special Brigade and could call in a helicopter.

Without wasting his privileges, Qin decisively called in a helicopter and returned to Luo City.

After getting off the helicopter, Qin Yu switched on his phone to find several text messages and missed calls.

Checking them, Qin Yu saw they were from Liu Tian?

Qin Yu returned the call to Liu Tian, which was picked up instantly, Liu Tian’s voice coming through, anxious.

"Brother Yu, something terrible has happened! Something’s gone wrong in our Exhibition Hall 52!"

Exhibition Hall 52?

Qin Yu was momentarily stunned, not quite grasping the situation. After a while, he realized he was referring to Exhibition Hall 52 in the jade stone trading hall at Feng’s Manor.

Qin Yu laughed self-deprecatingly. He really was a hands-off chairman—how long had it been since he had last visited Exhibition Hall 52?

"What happened? Didn’t the Second Miss look after you?"

"The Second Miss did look after us! But this isn’t something she can solve! Recently, Manager Chi brought in a batch of goods. There were no problems during the inspection, but once they were transported back, they all turned out to be worthless stones!"

"Oh? Who’s behind this? The jade stone supplier?"

Actually, Qin Yu wasn’t interested in such trivial matters, but as he was currently unoccupied, he took it as entertainment.

"No, it wasn’t the supplier. We’ve cooperated with them many times and their reputation is solid. It must be an issue with the transport team! The team stopped overnight in Yuqing, and they had ample time to switch out the goods."

"Alright, I’ll be right there."

The nearby helicopter pilot looked at Qin Yu with an inquiring glance, "Chief Instructor, may I return now?"

"No rush, take me to Feng’s Manor, and then you can go back,"

"Understood,"

The helicopter took off again, heading straight for Feng’s Manor, where it landed on the helipad.

Before coming, Qin Yu had made a phone call to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao personally came to meet the helicopter, with an extremely respectful attitude. He really couldn’t believe it, how long had it been?

Qin Yu had transformed into the Dragon Head!

And he had defeated Cheng Sheng!

Strong, truly very strong!

"Mr. Qin, this way please,"

Having roughly understood Qin Yu’s purpose, Tang Xiao led him to the adjacent Royce Phantom.

Soon, Qin Yu was taken to the raw stone trading hall.

"Mr. Qin, I won’t accompany you over there." After dropping him off, Tang Xiao walked towards the Feng Family office.

Today happened to be the monthly raw stone trading day. Booth 52 was as bustling as usual, but today, not a single piece of green had come out from Booth 52!

Suddenly, many rumors spread.

"I heard that Booth 52 has been cursed again, and they’ve brought in another batch of waste material!"

"Yes, the entire morning has passed, and not a single piece of green has appeared! I think Booth 52 doesn’t want to do honest business, deceiving us consumers like this."

"Forget it, let those who are superstitious continue to be cheated at Booth 52! I’m going to try my luck at Booth 53 across from it."

...

Qin Yu could hear a lot of unfavorable remarks about Booth 52 from afar.

Qin Yu frowned. Even if they really had brought in waste material, such rumors shouldn’t have spread so quickly!

There must be a hidden hand behind this!

Qin Yu let his spiritual power radiate out, enveloping the entire raw stone trading hall!

Very soon, Qin Yu spotted a few familiar faces in Booth 53.

Isn’t that Hu Zhuoqing?

How is this guy involved with Zhonghe Jewelry Company again?

"Young Brother Hu, your move of substituting one thing for another really is quite elegant! With the batch of goods from Booth 52, our reputation and credibility will swiftly soar, while Booth 52 will be beaten down into the valley!"

"I couldn’t have managed it on my own, thanks to Mr. An’s insider at Booth 52. If Chu Feng hadn’t tipped us off, we wouldn’t have known that Booth 52’s inventory had run out! After messing with them twice in a row, Booth 52 is in an awkward spot now."

Chu Feng?

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes and walked towards Booth 52. As he reached the entrance of Booth 52, Liu Tian came out to meet him.

"Big Brother Yu, thank goodness you’re here. If you don’t show up, I’m afraid our Booth 52 will be done for! We’ve been very cautious, but we didn’t expect the stones to be swapped."

"Show me,"

Qin Yu’s tone was very calm as he stepped into Booth 52.

As soon as he entered the booth, Qin Yu saw a strange middle-aged man sitting in the office, and his gaze sharpened.

"Who is that?"

"Big Brother Yu, since you’ve not been here to oversee things, we had no choice but to hire a Gambling Stone Master. His name is Chu Feng. His stone gambling skills are no weaker than Hu Zhuoqing’s. With him at the helm, we were able to avoid being cheated."

So it was him?

Chu Feng?

Interesting.
