Chapter 1101 - 1101: Not Pursuing the Matter

"Exactly, why should someone like that still be among us?"

"People like that should be stripped of their assessment eligibility!"

Following Zhao Yanqiong, a few other female members voiced their agreement.

Even the female members who didn't speak out were nodding in agreement, forming a united front.

The male members mostly felt something was off; it's normal for one or two to be hostile towards Qi Guanghe, but the unity among the female members seemed unusually strong.

Moreover, the issue has been elevated to "stripping of assessment eligibility" and "unworthy to join us." Just what did Qi Guanghe do to incite such anger among the female members?

In fact, in terms of influence, Qi Guanghe sneaking into the female dormitory and getting caught didn't have the same notoriety as a certain bald guy knocking out two people with his foot odor.

Some even thought everyone should be rallied to jointly propose cancelling Hui Yi's assessment eligibility; otherwise, facing this bald man would double the psychological pressure.

At this point, Wu Zhanbo, who was sitting at the examiner's table, was a bit uneasy. He knew that if this situation continued to escalate, the "flames of war" would inevitably reach him.

But just as he was about to stand up, he saw Zhao Yanqiong take a few steps forward, and approach the male members' lineup, asking, "Doesn't the person Qi Guanghe tried to frame last night plan to stand up and say something?"

As soon as she spoke, the male members looked around, whispering among themselves.

A moment later, someone in the front row asked, "What framing?"

"What? You mean you don't know what happened last night?" Zhao Yanqiong looked surprised and then briefly recounted Qi Guanghe's intrusion into the female dormitory.

Not far away, Wu Zhanbo's expression shifted like a magic face-changing act—turning blue, then red, then white—changing colors in an impressive display.

Sadly, no one was paying attention to him at the moment.

Originally, Wu Zhanbo wanted to step in and control the situation but was stopped by an examiner next to him, who told him that stepping in would not only fail to control the situation but also drag him down.

Of course, Wu Zhanbo understood this, but he was concerned and thus confused.

Nonetheless, stepping in now would have no positive effect, so he could only watch the show and hope he wouldn't be dragged into the mess by the "pit brother-in-law."

"Whose shoes were stolen last night?"

"Let's not bring that up again. If it were meant to blow up, it would have last night. Clearly, they want to downplay things, making a big issue out of nothing."

"One just wonders what benefit gained..."

The male members discussed among themselves with varying opinions, but no one mentioned the person whose shoes were stolen was too timid to stand up.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but think to himself, people nowadays really criticize poverty but not indecency.

Just then, Zhao Yanqiong spoke sternly, "We, as weak women, dare to stand up against unfairness. Does the man who was framed lack the courage to speak up?"

Xiao Feng frowned, thinking to himself, she truly lived up to his evaluation of her—stubborn, simple-minded, and argumentative.

Such a person, it's both good and bad.

"Yeah, we're all men. We've got balls, so why be afraid?"

"Brother who lost shoes last night, feel free to stand up. We've got your back!"

The male members were filled with righteous anger. After all, for a man, being looked down upon by women is hard to bear.

Xiao Feng glanced at the time, and to avoid prolonging the situation and hearing more things he didn't want to hear, he stepped forward and said, "It was my shoes that were stolen."

"Don't you plan to pursue it?" Zhao Yanqiong asked, frowning.

Xiao Feng shook his head, "If I use this to get him disqualified, wouldn't I be no different from a petty person?

The measure of a man is broad, I would rather defeat him in the assessment arena!

Of course, intruding into the female dormitory and framing me are two separate issues. You can still pursue accountability; it's a matter of principle."

Having said this much, outsiders found they couldn't say much more.

A man next to Wu Zhanbo approached and said gruffly, "To not waste everyone's time, take a five-minute break here, and the assessment will officially begin. Any objections can be dealt with after the assessment ends."

This statement was essentially an "official" intervention, setting the tone for the situation.

Though Zhao Yanqiong and others were somewhat unappeased, they didn't continue to question it; instead, they gathered to discuss, vowing not to let the matter go easily.

Taking advantage of the five-minute break, Xiao Feng arranged for Pei Dengke, Chi Xiao, and Bao Jinghao to come over.

"Do you know why I'm not holding Qi Guanghe accountable?"

The three looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

Xiao Feng sighed, "I did it all for you..."

Then he recounted the deal he made with Wu Zhanbo last night, detail by detail.

Pei Dengke was immediately moved as he heard it. "Brother Xiao, you're truly righteous!"

Chi Xiao said, "Brother Xiao, there's no need for too many words of thanks. In the future, if you ever need me, just say the word, and I will fully support you!"

In his mind, this was beyond what was in the original deal.

It was like trading a sesame seed for a pancake; no matter how he thought about it, he felt he got a great deal.

Though Bao Jinghao didn't speak, he also felt his money was well-spent.

Moreover, when setting conditions, there was no mention of "high marks from an examiner."

Brother Xiao is so sincere and dedicated that when the assessment ends and it's time to pay, he should definitely offer a few hundred thousand more!

...

The first assessment project was shooting targets: two magazines per person, one for fixing targets, the other for moving targets.

As for firearms, there was no restriction—automatic rifles or handguns, whichever was more comfortable to use.

When the broadcast announced "target position 0093," Xiao Feng walked leisurely to his designated spot.

Those who hadn't taken their turn focused their gazes on him.

By now, Xiao Feng was somewhat of a celebrity on the mountain.

Whether for beating up two people in one morning on the first day and earning the title "Irritable Bro," or for being the "innocent victim" whom Qi Guanghe unsuccessfully tried to frame, he garnered a lot of attention.

Under such observation, Xiao Feng wore a faint smile on his face, looking confident and assured.

"Toot toot!"

The short whistle blew, and Xiao Feng swiftly assembled the gun from its scattered parts.

Then, with his eyes closed, he fired continuously without looking at the target sheet.

This series of actions was smooth and fluid, effortlessly completed, instantly making the eyes of many women fill with hearts.

By the time Xiao Feng emptied the bullets from his first magazine, the others had just fired their first shot.

The difference was apparent!

However, when the broadcast announced the results, everyone was dumbfounded...
