Chapter 196 Internal Strife

Watching Lin Weidong's retreating back, Zhang Shaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief!

He was truly scared to death.

If not for the timely appearance of Deacon Zhu and Deacon Zhao, with Lin Weidong's decisive nature,

He might have actually arrested Zhang Shaohua for questioning.

Fortunately, the two deacons were strong enough!

Since Lin Weidong had already left, there was nothing for Zhou Yu and Da Xiong to say.

One left with his steamed bun, the other closed the door.

Zhang Shaohua watched their retreating figures, let out a cold snort, turned his head, and was about to thank Deacon Zhao.

But was silenced by Deacon Zhao covering his mouth.

"We'll talk about it back at my place," Deacon Zhao said, his brows furrowed into a knot.

He then pulled Zhang Shaohua and headed directly towards his room.

In fact, according to regulations,

New recruits were not allowed to loiter in the resting area of the training supervision team members.

But tonight, since Lin Weidong had already indicated he wouldn't interfere,

No one paid them any mind.

After pulling Zhang Shaohua into his room and closing the door,

Deacon Zhao asked with a dark face, "Young Master Zhang, what exactly were you doing outside Zhou Yu's door just now?"

Zhou Yu had been quite grateful to Deacon Zhao earlier.

After all, without Deacon Zhao, he would probably have been handed over to the Dragon Group for interrogation.

Whether he could get away was another matter.

To his surprise, he was immediately reprimanded by Deacon Zhao upon entering.

Zhang Shaohua immediately retorted, "What's your attitude?"

At this moment, Deacon Zhao desperately wanted to ask Zhang Shaohua what he was doing.

But after waiting for a long while, Deacon Zhao still couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

From their interactions over the past few days, Deacon Zhao had seen clearly that Zhang Shaohua was a straw bag who only responded to soft approaches and not to hard ones.

If you criticized him even a little, he would fly off the handle.

And now, Deacon Zhao was still counting on Zhang Shaohua to cooperate with his work.

It was naturally not a good idea to anger Zhang Shaohua further.

Taking several deep breaths, Deacon Zhao forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and then said, "Young Master Zhang, if you wanted to do something to Zhou Yu, you should have informed us beforehand. Why did you have to do it yourself?"

Seeing Deacon Zhao's softened attitude, Zhang Shaohua immediately snorted from his nostrils.

He turned his head and said sarcastically, "The way you put it, among the tasks assigned to you by the Shadow organization, which one has been successfully completed so far?"

"I wouldn't dare entrust anything to your hands!"

Hearing Zhang Shaohua's words, Deacon Zhu couldn't help it. He glared at him with resentment, his face turning pale with anger, and his breathing became heavy!

In the past few incidents, if it hadn't been for Zhang Shaohua meddling, they would have succeeded by now!

And now, Zhang Shaohua actually had the audacity to blame them for the failures?

Just as Deacon Zhu was about to lose his composure.

Fortunately, Deacon Zhao quickly restrained him.

Deacon Zhao patted Deacon Zhu's back repeatedly, calming him down.

Then he said to Zhang Shaohua, "Young Master Zhang, by doing this, you'll make our subsequent tasks very difficult to carry out."

"Perhaps, for the time being, you should focus on your training, and leave the other matters to us."

At this point, Deacon Zhao was almost saying, "Just stay out of trouble, Zhang Shaohua."

You're more of a hindrance than a help!

Zhang Shaohua clearly understood the underlying meaning of Deacon Zhao's words, his eyes bulging as he glared at Deacon Zhao, saying, "Without me, you still expect to accomplish anything?"

"Heh, you really think you're so capable!"

Zhang Shaohua understood that he was being looked down upon by these two!

Originally, Zhang Shaohua wanted to list his achievements to prove his importance.

But after thinking it over, he suddenly realized that since he arrived at the new recruit training base, he hadn't done anything successfully...

So, as Zhang Shaohua spoke, his confidence faltered.

Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhu exchanged a glance, almost exasperated to death by Zhang Shaohua!

It's not that a person lacks ability that's the problem.

It's when they lack ability but still insist on trying!

Not to mention anything else, just the incident today where Zhang Shaohua tried to poison Zhou Yu.

If it were someone else, who would dare to do it so openly?

Zhang Shaohua dared!

And he was coincidentally caught by Da Xiong, and evidence was secured.

Although Lin Weidong hadn't done anything to Zhang Shaohua for the moment,

He would definitely keep a close eye on Zhang Shaohua, and by extension, Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhu would also be scrutinized.

Then, any further actions they might want to take would be harder than climbing to heaven!

Now, Deacon Zhao finally understood what it felt like to have a teammate who was a complete liability.

"Young Master Zhang, it's not that we look down on you, but after all, your purpose for participating in the training is to join the Dragon Group."

"And the other missions are ours, so Young Master Zhang should focus on his own business."

Deacon Zhao's veins throbbed as he suppressed his anger and reiterated his point.

This time, even if Zhang Shaohua understood the disdain in Deacon Zhao's words, he had nothing to say.

He lacked the confidence!

After a long while, Zhang Shaohua finally opened his mouth, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "Hmph, then you'd better complete the mission. If you fail, don't say I didn't help."

Hearing this, Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhu were almost overjoyed to tears!

They didn't need Zhang Shaohua's help.

Zhang Shaohua would only make things worse!

So Deacon Zhao nodded repeatedly.

It was getting late.

Deacon Zhao quickly urged Zhang Shaohua to go back and sleep.

Zhang Shaohua, with a knot of resentment in his heart, didn't bother to say more to these two deacons from the Zhang family.

He turned and left!

As soon as Zhang Shaohua left.

Deacon Zhao and Deacon Zhu exchanged a look and both smiled bitterly.

"What should we do next?"

"With Young Master Zhang's poisoning incident, we've definitely become highly suspected by the Dragon Group."

Deacon Zhu said with a grim expression.

They hadn't even officially started their plan.

If they were targeted by the Dragon Group, how could they carry out their mission?

Thinking of how urgently the Zhang family head was pushing them, Deacon Zhu felt agitated.

Deacon Zhao also sighed.

To be honest, even Zhuge Liang himself probably wouldn't have a solution.

They could only wait and see, and avoid any slip-ups.

After all, they were currently on Dragon Group territory.

If Lin Weidong discovered anything unusual, they wouldn't even know how they died!

But as long as they weren't caught with evidence, the Dragon Group, under pressure from the Zhang family, wouldn't be able to do anything rash.

With this in mind, Deacon Zhao said, "Let's see if there's an opportunity. If not, we'll abandon the mission directly."

Deacon Zhu's eyes widened, wanting to say something more.

But Deacon Zhao spoke again, asking him, "Do you want your life or that so-called glory and wealth?"

That's right, if they completed the mission assigned by the Shadow organization, they would indeed receive substantial rewards.

Enough to even start their own family.

But wealth was useless without a life to enjoy it!

Without a life, all the money in the world was meaningless.
