79 Caught

Yi Zheng couldn’t guess when she learned these things, including her precise spearmanship and the ingenious movement technique she used to fight him in the library. His intuition told him that Shi Man’s secrets were probably far more than this.

This made him want to approach her; he was curious about how many more secrets she was hiding.

In the arena, the screams caused by Shi Man were endless. In a few breaths, she successfully climbed to the peak. The time displayed on the timer broke the army record, making Instructor Zhang take Shi Man seriously again.

The person competing with Shi Man was Su Tang.

She did not have enough strength in her arms and was so afraid that she did not dare to move. The breeze blew gently and swayed her body slightly, scaring her so much that she immediately screamed and fell.

Shi Man frowned and reacted extremely quickly. She slid down the rope and climbed the rock, steadily bringing Su Tang into her arms. The fresh fragrance of the fragrant grass entered Su Tang’s nose.

The moment she landed, a crisp sound sounded under their feet. Shi Man let go of her body and looked down. It was an exquisite and expensive-looking bracelet.

“Wow! Shi Man is so cool! I’m about to fall in love with her!” Someone came back to their senses and screamed.

Immediately after, the instructor came back to his senses and walked up to check if the two of them were injured.

Shi Man ignored the noisy surroundings and bent down to pick up the bracelet on the ground.

Su Tang subconsciously stopped her hand. When she saw Shi Jing’s threatening gaze from the corner of her eye, she retracted her hand.

The instructor looked at the bracelet and couldn’t help but praise, “Student Shi Man, if you can join the army for training, our country will have another capable general with great potential.”

“That’s right, Student Shi Man.” Instructor Zhang couldn’t help but walk up and sigh sincerely. “There aren’t many girls like you who can endure hardships, but I didn’t expect you to like such a cute bracelet. I thought you would be more interested in guns.”

“This isn’t mine. Compared to these useless things, I like firearms more,” Shi Man replied calmly.

Just now, there were only two of them. She naturally thought that this thing would belong to Su Tang.

When the surrounding students heard the instructor praise her, they did not degrade Shi Man this time. Her performance over the past few days was seen by everyone, including her care and consideration for Su Tang.

The news that she had personally carried Su Tang upstairs to wash up that day had completely spread. A small portion of the girls had already started to have a good impression of her and no longer rejected her like before.

Other than the few people who had always disliked Shi Man saying a few ugly words, the others did not express any dissatisfaction with Shi Man’s limelight.

Fang Han looked angrily at the few people in the class who were looking at Shi Man in admiration. Suddenly, she deliberately exclaimed exaggeratedly to attract the attention of everyone present.

Being the focus of everyone again, Fang Han wanted to raise her head arrogantly and mock Shi Man, but she still needed to complete the last step of the meticulous plan she had set up with Shi Jing.

She deliberately covered her mouth and stared at the bracelet in Shi Man’s hand in shock. She said exaggeratedly, “Isn’t that Song Zhi’s bracelet? I saw her wear it!”

Song Zhi was suddenly called out and looked at Fang Han in confusion before turning to Shi Man. When she saw the bracelet in her hand, she immediately widened her eyes and said angrily, “So you stole it! Instructor! That’s the bracelet I said I lost just now!”

Instructor Zhang did not believe that Shi Man would do such a thing. He took the bracelet and handed it to Song Zhi for her to confirm again.

Song Zhi nodded affirmatively and said, “That’s it. I can’t be wrong. This is a birthday gift from Cousin Yi Zheng. I’ve been wearing it. Many students have seen it.”

Hearing her say this, Instructor Zhang looked away at the students beside her. Seeing them nod solemnly, he immediately looked at Shi Man in confusion. “Did you pick it up from somewhere?”

The instructor’s expression darkened. He originally thought very highly of Shi Man’s personal ability. She would definitely win the rock climbing championship this time. However, if Shi Man picked up something and kept it for herself, it would be a huge taboo in the army. That good impression would completely disappear.

The moment the students who had changed their opinion of Shi Man heard Song Zhi say the words Yi Zheng, they widened their eyes in realization. They suddenly thought of the Shi Man’s rumored infatuation with Yi Zheng.

Could it be that she was stubborn and wanted to take it for herself after hearing that it was given to Song Zhi by Yi Zheng?

Facing the disdainful gazes around her, Shi Man was already completely used to their lack of brains. She looked at Instructor Zhang with her usual expression. “I didn’t pick up this thing. I thought…”

Shi Man glanced at Su Tang indifferently and lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them. “Forget it. It has nothing to do with me anyway.”

“You think you can just forget it?” Song Zhi had finally caught hold of Shi Man’s weakness. How could she waste this heaven-sent opportunity? She pointed at Shi Man and said angrily, “Instructor, she stole my bracelet and broke it. A diamond on it fell off. She has to compensate me!”
