Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 147 The End of the World (63)

Pei Shu and the other two were quickly brought to the presence of the head of the Zhang family by Uncle Zhang. When they saw the head of the Zhang family, Pei Shu and the other two looked ashen. Zhuang Zitao, who always liked to talk, was now forced to kneel like a quail, not daring to do anything. Li Zeliang, because of the unbearable pain and despair about his future, remained silent, only uttering a few painful groans from time to time.

So the first one to speak among the three was unexpectedly Pei Shu, who had always been protected by the two. Seeing that Patriarch Zhang only had a sullen face and looked at them with eyes filled with hatred, Pei Shu was afraid that he would not be able to resist killing him, so she tried to save the situation. "Patriarch Zhang, there must be a misunderstanding here. No matter what you saw or who said it, you must not believe it!"

Seeing Pei Shu still trying to argue, Patriarch Zhang's hatred grew and he couldn't help but sneer, "So, tell me, what's going on?"

Pei Shu hesitated. The fact that the other party had dared to arrest someone in public before meant that he must have something in his hand. If she fabricated something now, wouldn't it only make him angrier? She could only say, "I know you won't believe anything I say now, but it's definitely not what you know."

Patriarch Zhang scoffed. "I used to think you, as the daughter of the base commander, had some cleverness. But now it seems you're completely brainless and afraid of death. Not only did you cause the deaths of my two children, you even tried to shift the blame onto others. Even now, you still deny it! Do you think I don't have enough evidence to kill you? Then I'll show you what kind of evidence would allow me to arrest you two."

Immediately, the head of the Zhang family asked someone to find Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei. When Pei Shu and the other two saw Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei, their expressions changed. They also understood why the Zhang family knew the truth. It must be these two people who informed them!

Li Zeliang couldn't believe it. Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei had actually betrayed him, just like Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng. When they hadn't come in to rescue him from his bonds, he could have explained it away, saying they didn't want to offend Meng Yu and the others. But why had he informed the Zhang family? Was it because he had wronged them in his own team? But he was doing this for the team's future. If they could just wait until he married Pei Shu and took the position of base leader, they could follow him around and enjoy the best of everything. They could walk all over the base without having to fight outside. Were they just out of their minds?

Li Zeliang didn't recall now that his original plan was not only to kill Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng, but he also wanted to kill these two people to silence them when he returned to the base in the future. After all, in his opinion, Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu would definitely not be able to think too much and would definitely stand on his side.

But he hadn't considered why these two wouldn't think more. They weren't fools. If he really killed Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng as planned, how would the lives of the two people who also knew the truth and had close relationships with Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng be safe? And even if they really didn't think too much, Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng, who had seen through his trick, would have warned them and asked them to be careful.

In short, Li Zeliang now felt that there was no good person in the entire team, so he couldn't help but look at Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu who walked in with disappointment and anger after being betrayed. But unfortunately, no matter how he glared at them or how scorching his gaze was, Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu didn't even give him a glance after they came in, leaving Li Zeliang to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath due to anger.

However, when Patriarch Zhang saw him like this, he couldn't help but sneer repeatedly and said to Li Zeliang, "Captain Li, I used to hear that you were a good captain, but from what I've heard from your two former team members these past few days, I know that you're actually a jerk who steps on your teammates to curry favor with them. You're a fool who has no idea how important team spirit is. If I had known your true nature, I would never have let my two children go out with you, because you're just a loser who bullies your own shit!"

If we were to say who among these people, the head of the Zhang family looks down upon the most, it would be Li Zeliang. Since he is the head of the family, he understands the importance of cohesion, which is the most indispensable no matter what personnel are being managed. Unexpectedly, Li Zeliang, who was once favored by everyone, actually dismissed this and regarded the team members as stepping stones for himself to reach a higher position, resulting in constant darkness within the team. So when something happens, won’t it cause internal and external troubles for the team, resulting in a situation where protection is unfavorable?

If Li Zeliang could control his relatives and friends, prevent his teammates from being wronged again and again, listen to advice more when encountering problems, and not blindly take sides, how could his two children die!

That is why the head of the Zhang family hates Li Zeliang the most.

After being scolded by the head of the Zhang family, Li Zeliang was unable to refute, mainly because he did not dare to refute. They had dared to break his legs before. If he said a few more words, the other party might do something to him!

When Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao saw Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei, their faces paled even further, wondering if these two were the only witnesses the Zhang family had. If they had been calmer, they might have come up with more ideas. But with their lives at stake, the thought that Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei might be the only witnesses the Zhang family had left was of little concern to them.

Zhuang Zitao then shouted, "Master Zhang! You can't just listen to these two. They were close to Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng, the people who betrayed our Sunshine Base. They're blaming us for your two children's deaths to help Meng Yu and his men split our base! If our base falls apart, that's exactly what they want!"

"Yes! He is right! Master Zhang, if you let us go now, we will let bygones be bygones!" Pei Shu also interrupted.

The head of the Zhang family was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked each of them. He was the head of the Zhang family, so even if the base commander and the deputy base commander knew that he had kicked their children, they could only be unhappy. As for the others, they could only hold it in. Moreover, he was in the right in this matter, so the kick was too easy for the other party.

Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao lay on the ground in agony, breathless. The other person was a psychic, and even though he often sat in the office, the kick was still quite powerful, so it naturally took them a long time to recover. Once they recovered, they both resented the Zhang family head's arrogance and unreasonableness. They were right, and if they couldn't argue with them, they had to kick them, right? Would he be satisfied only if he blamed them for the deaths of his two children?

After kicking them, Patriarch Zhang asked Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei to repeat what they had said to him before, and also played the evidence, which was the video. After playing it, Pei Shu and the other two had completely understood the reason why Patriarch Zhang was so arrogant.

"How could this be...how could you have this?" Pei Shu was the first to scream.
