The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 248: Not Listening


"Xiao Feng?" The little girl looked suspiciously at Xiao Feng, doubting that Xiao Feng had something to do with the member of the Qiutai Team falling into the pit.

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng's expression was calm, showing no signs of guilt.

"Be honest, did you just silently give some advice to the Qiutai Team?" The little girl had a half-smile, her eyes gleaming with mischief, as if saying: I've seen through everything, so stop pretending.

Xiao Feng was truly speechless, wondering what this girl was thinking about all day!

He immediately reached out and snatched the beef jerky from the little girl's hand: "Stop eating, girls eating too much can easily gain weight."

"Hehe!" The little girl laughed twice and pulled an unopened pack of beef jerky from her pocket, as if she had already expected Xiao Feng to "furiously" take her beef jerky away.

"Xiao Feng, don't be embarrassed to admit it." The little girl said cunningly: "Rest assured, I'll keep the secret for you."

Xiao Feng took a deep breath: "Mu Shihan, I'll count to three, you'd better disappear in front of me."

The little girl stuck out her tongue: "Xiao Feng, don't be mad, just think about it..."

"Fine, since you're not leaving, I'll give you a piece of advice." Xiao Feng said lightly.

The little girl panicked immediately, covering her ears and running away, shouting as she ran: "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"

Did the monkey falling into the pit have anything to do with Xiao Feng?

Actually, it didn't.

But this unexpected turn of events made Xiao Feng recall an old saying: Everything is destiny, not a bit by man.

Before the start, nobody could have anticipated that the Qiutai Team would nearly become a dark horse breaking through, and even fewer expected that when about to succeed, this dark horse would stumble, leading to a complete collapse.

"Charge!" Laoniu shouted loudly, seizing this opportunity and leading his team in a charge towards the villa.

The distance to the villa was about five kilometers or so; victory was within sight.

"Keep up; we can't let Jiangcheng Team get ahead." Zhao Huoshan shouted harshly, somewhat puzzled in his heart why this previously stubborn guy reacted faster than he did.

However, the Guangyang Team was ultimately a step behind; as soon as they showed their heads, they were suppressed by the firepower from the Jiangcheng Team.

"Damn!" Zhao Huoshan gritted his teeth in anger but was helpless and could only wait for the fire to die down before taking his men to counter and tightly pursue them.

At this time, in the camp outside, the Qiutai Team seemed to have a cloud overhead; everyone looked somewhat displeased.

If all had been eliminated right at the start, perhaps they'd feel better, for without hope, there's naturally less disappointment.

But the problem was that victory was in sight, only to be destroyed by a sudden trap, which was maddening!

"Where did that trap come from?" Someone said in discontent: "It's not marked on the map at all, isn't this negligence by the organizers?"

No one answered.

In fact, the people expressing dissatisfaction also knew inwardly that transferring the venue in such a short time couldn't account for every detail; it's normal for some places to be inaccurately marked.

Taking a step back, if this were a real battle, who would provide such a detailed terrain map?

Besides, would the enemy tell you where they've dug traps or even planted explosives just waiting for you to fall into them?

Obviously not!

So, there's no excuse; a loss is a loss.

About fifteen minutes later, Laoniu, out of breath, stopped in front of the purple-black sea of flowers, the lit villa, and the flag standing in the villa's yard, his face flushed with excitement.

"Victory is right in front of us, brothers, charge with me!" Laoniu shouted, but just after taking a step, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Brother Niu!" Someone immediately ran over, wanting to help Laoniu up from the ground.

Laoniu pressed hard on his left shoulder with his right hand; his left arm had been injured many times, dislocated at least seven or eight times, and this time the old injury flared up.

"Hiss..." Laoniu sucked in a breath of cold air, cold sweat dotting his forehead, but he shoved away the teammate trying to help him up, angrily shouting: "Don't worry about me, pull out the flag first!"

"But Brother Niu, you..." None of the teammates left; they were more concerned about his injury than victory.

"What the hell are you looking at me for!" Laoniu was almost frantic, and his voice changed pitch: "Grab the flag, what have we been running for all this time? It's just an old injury flaring up, it won't kill me, stop being so wishy-washy!"

A sensible person took a deep breath: "Brother Niu is right, let's get the championship first, everyone, follow me!"

But even this short moment's delay allowed Zhao Huoshan's team to charge over. Seeing Laoniu and others gathered together, he decisively ordered: "Those who run fast, pull out the flag, the rest stick to these people with me."

The two teams had no words to spare and immediately threw down their guns, beginning close combat.

They weren't out of bullets, but the rules were clear: if the flowers around the villa, or anything within, were destroyed, they'd be immediately eliminated.

No one dared to guarantee that there wouldn't be mistakes shooting at this moment.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Dull thuds resounded endlessly, every punch landing solidly, both sides had bloodlust in their eyes at this moment.

No one fought tooth and nail to get to this point only to see victory snatched away; that's something unacceptable to anyone!

To put it plainly, they've struggled to this point; why fear this last struggle?

Laoniu let out a muffled groan, standing up from the ground, his eyes like bronze bells locked onto Zhao Huoshan.

Both men weren't young and had families; if they could achieve meritorious performance in this competition, it would be very beneficial for their future career paths.

Just like the old demon before, giving it his all to turn the tide, this would undoubtedly be a brilliant entry in his police career!

Some might think Laoniu and Zhao Huoshan's ideas were utilitarian, but who wouldn't want to make life a little easier for their family, and have a better pension after retirement; this is common thinking, and there's nothing wrong with it.

"Can you still go?" Zhao Huoshan looked at Laoniu's left arm, frowning slightly and asked.

Laoniu chuckled: "We're all men here, don't you know the word 'can't' is the most taboo?"

"Then I won't be polite." Zhao Huoshan nodded, readying himself for a fight.

The two teams engaged fiercely, no one noticed a shadow quietly appearing on the villa's rooftop, entirely black as ink, as if merged with the darkness.
