As for Protector Zhu on the ground, Protector Zhao could only say he was powerless now.
After all, he had no other options at the moment.
Protector Zhao gritted his teeth and immediately lifted his foot, then bolted out of the room!
Strangely, however, Da Xiong did not pursue him. Instead, he stood behind, watching Protector Zhao's retreating back with a half-smile.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, a playful smile on his face…
Protector Zhao didn't have time to ponder the meaning of Da Xiong's smile.
His mind was filled with only one thought: escape!
But…
As soon as he reached the dormitory corridor, Protector Zhao knew something was wrong…
There were no lights around the dormitory building.
Only moonlight spilled onto the corridor.
And Zhou Yu stood smiling on the left side.
Protector Zhao let out a low growl from his throat. Just as he was about to bypass Zhou Yu and escape from the other side,
He turned his head and found that…
Someone was on the right side as well.
It was a team of Dragon Group members, ready and waiting.
And behind them stood Lin Weidong!
Seeing this scene, Protector Zhao knew everything.
His mind was filled with only two words.
It's over!
It seemed their plan had long been known to the Dragon Group.
They were just waiting here, luring the enemy into a trap!
Only now did Protector Zhao understand why it had been so easy when they first arrived.
And why the Dragon Group's security was unusually lax today.
At this moment, Protector Zhao was filled with immense regret.
He wished he hadn't listened to Protector Zhu's words and had just turned back immediately.
His sixth sense had already given him a warning!
It was his own lack of conviction that led to this outcome.
Protector Zhao knew that a direct confrontation was impossible.
After all, he had witnessed Zhou Yu's strength.
As for Lin Weidong, though his strength was lower than Zhou Yu's, there were so many Dragon Group members with him.
Too many ants can still bite an elephant!
Rather than struggling to escape, it was better to surrender.
Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
After thinking it through, Protector Zhao decisively raised his hands and stood still, covering his head.
"Seize him!"
Lin Weidong gave the order.
The Dragon Group members surged forward, quickly subduing Protector Zhao!
And Protector Zhu, inside the room, was naturally not spared.
He was directly bound and gagged!
After apprehending them, the Dragon Group members did not leave immediately.
Instead, they maintained a perimeter at the dormitory entrance.
At this moment, Da Xiong ambled out, looking at Zhou Yu and Lin Weidong and saying, "Heh heh, Divine Doctor Zhou's foresight is truly remarkable. They indeed chose to make their move tonight!"
Zhou Yu glanced at him, a mix of amusement and exasperation on his face. "I told you to have someone else impersonate Ouyang Feng, but you insisted on doing it yourself."
"Your physiques are completely different. Fortunately, they weren't very vigilant, otherwise, you would have been discovered tonight!"
Da Xiong's physique was twice that of Ouyang Feng.
If Protector Zhao and Protector Zhu had paid closer attention earlier, they might not have fallen for it.
If they had turned back then, Zhou Yu might not have arrived in time!
Da Xiong scratched his head sheepishly.
He simply didn't trust others.
Putting aside their strength, their psychological resilience might not have been as strong as his.
"Alright, we can discuss this later. Let's take these two rats back for interrogation first," Lin Weidong interrupted their conversation.
Protector Zhao was still conscious and, upon hearing this, immediately looked up in gratitude.
Heaven knew how much he wanted to disappear from shame, having to stand there listening to them discuss how foolish he was!
He would rather be quietly locked up!
Protector Zhu, having been knocked out while preparing to attack Da Xiong, was unaware of their conversation.
The group took Protector Zhao and Protector Zhu back for interrogation that very night.
After the exciting events of the night, Da Xiong couldn't sleep.
So, he trailed behind Zhou Yu, asking curiously, "Divine Doctor Zhou, how did you know they would make a move tonight?"
Zhou Yu gave Da Xiong a sidelong glance. "What's on your neck? Can't you use your brain a little?"
Da Xiong pondered, but couldn't figure it out.
He knew about the affair between Ouyang Feng and Zhang Shaohua.
Da Xiong believed Ouyang Feng's acting was flawless, having even deceived Zhang Shaohua.
And Protector Zhu and Protector Zhao were merely Zhang family retainers, supposedly following Zhang Shaohua's orders.
Even if they had doubts about Ouyang Feng, they should have waited a few more days before acting.
How could they have suddenly decided to defy Zhang Shaohua's orders?
Zhou Yu listened to Da Xiong's words, feeling speechless.
It seemed Da Xiong needed to grow not just in cultivation, but also in intelligence!
"What you said isn't entirely wrong. Zhang Shaohua is indeed the young master of the Zhang family."
"By rights, Protector Zhu and Protector Zhao should both be following Zhang Shaohua's commands."
"But have you considered the possibility that the trust between Protector Zhu, Protector Zhao, and Zhang Shaohua has long since eroded?"
Zhou Yu asked.
Humans are complex beings.
Protector Zhao and Protector Zhu had only joined the Zhang family later.
Their trust in the Zhang family was not particularly high.
Therefore, Zhou Yu had seized on this point, believing they would not follow Zhang Shaohua's orders.
Furthermore, Zhang Shaohua's repeated blunders had drawn the Dragon Group's attention to these three individuals from the Zhang family.
This prevented Protector Zhao and Protector Zhu from completing their tasks.
Not only did they distrust Zhang Shaohua, but they might have even resented him!
So, it was not surprising that they chose to act today.
After hearing Zhou Yu's analysis, Da Xiong suddenly realized.
So there were so many hidden complexities.
Da Xiong's mind had just not caught up.
In Da Xiong's view, whether it was Protector Zhu, Protector Zhao, or Zhang Shaohua,
They were all working towards the Zhang family's plan and should have been in constant communication.
But Da Xiong forgot.
Everyone is an independent individual with their own thoughts!
After Zhou Yu broke down the situation for Da Xiong, he yawned. "Alright, you don't need to stay guard here anymore."
"I estimate that these two Zhang family retainers won't spill the beans easily."
"Go back and get some good sleep. You don't want to be listless during training tomorrow."
Although Da Xiong wanted to witness firsthand how these two were interrogated,
He knew that if he dared to say so, Zhou Yu would be the first to reprimand him.
So, he nodded. "Alright."
Zhou Yu immediately turned and left.
With Protector Zhao and Protector Zhu captured, a major matter was resolved.
Time to get some good rest!
