"Father, can we rest for a moment?" Zhang Shaohua finally couldn't help but say.
Zhang Deshuang's footsteps paused, as if agreeing.
Just as Zhang Shaohua closed his eyes, preparing to sleep again.
Taptaptap—
Zhang Deshuang's rhythmic footsteps echoed once more!
This time, even though Zhang Deshuang had always commanded respect from Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Shaohua couldn't hold back.
He sat up abruptly and asked, "Father, what is so important that you can't let me sleep?"
Seeing that Zhang Shaohua was still thinking about sleeping at this point, Zhang Deshuang felt a surge of anger.
He immediately said, "Sleep? You still have the mood to sleep!"
Zhang Shaohua didn't understand this.
He had been locked up for several days, and if Zhang Deshuang had waited a few more days, it would have been half a month.
After being in this environment for so long, why wouldn't he have the mood to sleep?
So, Zhang Shaohua said tactfully, "But no matter how anxious we are, the Dragon Group will absolutely not let us go."
The implication was that it was better to eat and sleep well, to conserve energy.
If an opportunity arose, they wouldn't even be able to lift their legs to escape!
Looking at Zhang Shaohua's demeanor, Zhang Deshuang could barely contain himself.
He had nurtured his heir since childhood, offering all resources, yet how could he have become like this after staying in the Newcomer Training Base for such a short time?
Zhang Deshuang immediately said, "Have you tried contacting the hidden sentries?"
Zhang Deshuang remembered that in order to complete the Zhang family's conspiracy with the Shadow Organization.
They had left quite a few hidden sentries in the Newcomer Training Base.
At this moment, if someone could provide support, not only could they escape, but they might also be able to reverse the current unfavorable situation!
Zhang Shaohua thought Zhang Deshuang was dreaming when he heard this.
If those hidden sentries were still there, Zhang Deshuang wouldn't have come to the Newcomer Training Base without receiving any news and being captured directly.
As of now, Zhang Deshuang still hadn't seen reality clearly!
"Father, all the hidden sentries we planted have been captured," Zhang Shaohua said immediately.
The expression on Zhang Deshuang's face became even more anxious!
Although Zhang Deshuang had a bad premonition when he saw Zhang Shaohua being locked up.
He believed that his preparations were very thorough.
It shouldn't have ended in total annihilation, right?
But now, not only had Deacon Zhu and Deacon Zhao betrayed them, but even the hidden sentries had been uprooted.
This meant that the Zhang family had almost no chance here.
They couldn't even expect to escape!
"Then what do we do? The Zhang family probably hasn't received the news yet. According to the Dragon Group's methods, even if they come looking for us, they will only be able to enter, not exit."
Zhang Deshuang was completely desperate.
He hadn't expected the Newcomer Training Base to be so dangerous.
Now, even if people from the Zhang family came, they would probably suffer the same fate as Zhang Deshuang.
Thinking of this, Zhang Deshuang immediately looked at Zhang Shaohua and couldn't help but blame him, "Then why didn't you let the hidden sentries send me a message earlier?"
Zhang Shaohua was a little guilty.
Actually, at first, Zhang Shaohua thought he could handle it.
Coupled with the mistaken belief that something had happened to the Zhang family.
Zhang Shaohua, who was eager to be a savior, didn't think about letting the hidden sentries go out to contact the Zhang family.
Who would have thought this would become a regret?
If Zhang Deshuang had received the news earlier, he could have made many preparations outside.
They wouldn't have ended up father and son being locked up!
"Shaohua, I have always thought highly of you, but this time, you have truly disappointed me."
Zhang Deshuang couldn't help but say.
He even began to doubt whether his decision to let Zhang Shaohua be the heir of the Zhang family was correct!
Unfortunately, Zhang Shaohua showed no reaction to his words now.
What reaction could there be?
Both of them were already captured. Unless someone from the Zhang family discovered something amiss, this operation was likely the end for the Zhang family.
The position of an heir was something even a dog wouldn't want!
Zhang Shaohua couldn't be bothered to say anything more to Zhang Deshuang. He covered his ears and curled up in a corner to sleep.
Seeing this, Zhang Deshuang was naturally furious, but he was helpless!
In the following days.
Just like when Zhang Shaohua was imprisoned, except for the first day when they could eat their fill.
After that, Zhang Deshuang and his son were basically starving, not knowing when their next meal would come.
They were so hungry that they felt dizzy.
Moreover, the Dragon Group, whether to make them confess or out of personal malice,
gave them rotten food to eat!
From the initial verbal resistance, Zhang Deshuang eventually couldn't bear it anymore due to hunger.
He had to shamelessly snatch food from Zhang Shaohua.
The father and son were now no different from ordinary people.
However.
They were both stubborn.
Even in this state, they refused to reveal anything about the Zhang family's cooperation with the Shadow Organization.
After all, they knew in their hearts.
If they didn't reveal anything, there was still a chance.
What if the Zhang family found out and took some measures?
What if they had a chance to escape?
Anyway, their lives were not in danger, and apart from being hungry, they could still survive.
Perhaps they could even make a comeback!
But if they spoke, even if they could walk out of the Newcomer Training Base.
They would be like a drowned rat from now on.
After all, the actions of the Shadow Organization were inhumane.
Everyone wanted to get rid of them.
Once the Zhang family's affairs were exposed, they wouldn't need anyone to settle the score.
A single spit from everyone could drown them!
Therefore, the father and son still held onto their last shred of hope and persevered.
Unfortunately.
Lin Weidong did not intend to let them maintain this sliver of hope.
Soon, Lin Weidong brought news.
He spread the word about Zhang Deshuang causing trouble in the Dragon Group.
Now, all the first-rate families were secretly laughing at the Zhang family.
Naturally, no one would speak up for the Zhang family!
And as for the members of the Zhang family, they were even less likely to.
Without the ability to unite with other first-rate families, their mere Zhang family was not strong enough to contend with the Dragon Group!
When Zhang Deshuang first heard the news, he was utterly disheartened.
He even considered ending his own life.
It was better than staying in the Newcomer Training Base to suffer torture.
But soon, Zhang Shaohua enlightened him.
"Father, the Shadow Organization should make a move after hearing the news."
Zhang Shaohua was overjoyed.
In his opinion, the Dragon Group had made a foolish move this time.
If the Dragon Group had kept it a secret, the Shadow Organization might not have received the news.
But now, Lin Weidong had announced it to the world.
Wasn't this equivalent to telling the Shadow Organization that Zhang Shaohua and Zhang Deshuang of the Zhang family were in the hands of the Dragon Group?
The Zhang family had been cooperating with the Dragon Group for a long time.
The Shadow Organization might not care about Zhang Shaohua.
However, they couldn't ignore Zhang Deshuang!
Because he held many secrets of the Dragon Group in his hands.
