Under the scorching sun, these instruments reflected a dazzling light, making it not a good time to play with them.
Fortunately, there were many tools available for them to use under the shade of the trees.
"As you can see, this place is specifically designed as a training ground and sports field," Lin Zichang explained.
Then, disregarding the scorching sun, he took Chen Dong and started playing with the various equipment on the field.
It was only then that Chen Dong realized the immense power hidden within Lin Zichang's seemingly thin body.
He's incredibly skilled at everything, from the parallel bars and horizontal bars to the rings.
Chen Dong felt that his health was not bad, but compared to him, he was far behind.
Lately, he has sometimes trained with Wolong and Tiger, learning some sports and fighting skills, and he believes he has made some progress.
However, compared to Lin Zichang at this moment, Chen Dong felt that this guy was simply too amazing.
Although he can't compare to former special forces soldiers like Wolong and Tiger, he's already very capable.
During this time, Lin Zichang and Chen Dong talked about many other things, including the circumstances of his grandfather's training, many things that happened when he was in school, and interesting things in his daily life.
He then consulted Chen Dong, asking for advice and suggestions on areas for improvement so that he could pay attention to them in his future work and studies and achieve greater results.
Chen Dong found Lin Zichang's current way of talking a bit strange, at least it seemed like he was being too forward with someone he didn't know well.
He always felt that Lin Zichang was going in circles, and there were some things he wanted to say but couldn't bring himself to say.
Finally, Chen Dong couldn't take it anymore and decided to stop beating around the bush.
He said to Lin Zichang, "Is there something you want to say to me?"
"Oh, you... you noticed?" Lin Zichang said somewhat embarrassedly, one hand gripping the parallel bars and the other on his hip.
"Heh, if you still can't figure it out, then you're a real fool!"
"Okay, actually I... what I wanted to tell you is that there's something I did..." Lin Zichang stammered.
Then he quickly added, "Of course, I meant well, I just hope you won't be angry."
"It can't be related to me, can it?" Chen Dong asked curiously.
Upon hearing Chen Dong's question, Lin Zichang's heart tightened, and then his mind went blank.
Things have finally come to this point.
He's going all out!
It could be said that Chen Dong helped him make the decision.
He took a deep breath and said, "It does have something to do with you, or rather, I originally wanted to help you, but it seems you don't need it. So, I hope you won't be angry!"
"What's the matter?" Chen Dong asked.
"It was when you had a conflict with Li Donghong and the others a couple of days ago..." Lin Zichang's face turned red again.
But it didn't feel hot; it felt more like she was embarrassed.
Seeing Lin Zichang's awkward expression again, Chen Dong felt a little sorry for him.
Upon hearing Lin Zichang's words, a thought flashed through Chen Dong's mind, and he blurted out, "Those newspaper articles about Li Donghong, you were the one who put them there... No wonder!"
Chen Dong had always suspected that if someone wanted to use him, why didn't they have a backup plan?
If the other party has any ill intentions towards me and wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, they might try to shift the blame elsewhere.
But nothing happened after that.
Whether it was the Han family or other forces, they all remained quiet.
It's as if they're not even there.
So it was you who was behind this!
"I did it." Finally, after saying this, Lin Zichang felt a sense of relief.
After all, this means truly exposing one's mistakes to others.
Even in front of a formidable figure like Chen Dong.
Now, it remains to be seen what Chen Dong will think.
To be honest, although Lin Zichang understood his grandfather's insistence that he tell Chen Dong about this matter, and knew that it was in his best interest, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
We've already made a start, so the rest will be easier.
Lin Zichang explained to Chen Dong all the steps he had taken in this matter.
At first, he stuttered a little and seemed a bit guilty.
However, as the story progressed and Chen Dong listened intently without making any other moves, Lin Zichang became more and more relaxed.
It was only at this point that Chen Dong understood the whole story.
It must be said that although Lin Zichang is still young, he already appears quite experienced in doing these things.
From understanding the inside story of the conflict between Chen Dong and Han Junli, Li Donghong, and others, to deciding to intervene, planning, formulating specific plans, selecting appropriate newspapers, finding suitable reporters and editors, and submitting materials, everything was arranged clearly so that it would attract the other party's attention without exposing oneself.
Of course, the helpers Lin Zichang found were all quite reliable.
After all, every large family has people who handle some of the less honorable things for them.
After learning the whole story, Chen Dong felt a real sense of relief.
"Heh, you made me worry for days for nothing... I thought someone was deliberately stirring things up and putting me in the spotlight!" Chen Dong said, looking annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I really wanted to help you," Lin Zichang apologized sincerely. "I hope you won't blame me for meddling."
"It's nothing, you actually helped me!"
Chen Dong's words seemed to light up Lin Zichang's eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Dong had no choice but to speak up: "Hey, don't do this kind of thing again. Good intentions don't always lead to good results, and there are many times when good intentions lead to bad outcomes."
“I know my grandfather criticized me when he found out what I did. I've realized that I did this because I didn't trust your abilities and I didn't consult you, which complicated a simple matter. I'm sorry!”
"Never mind, it's done already, and you meant well. Besides, it didn't really have any negative impact on me; in fact, it really helped me. Thank you!" Chen Dong smiled calmly and expressed his sincere gratitude.
At this moment, Chen Dong's discomfort had largely dissipated.
He looked at Chen Zichang, his mood having calmed down.
Although Lin Zi's approach was not very reliable, aren't self-righteousness, impulsiveness, and lack of consideration typical of young people?
Then Lin Zichang continued, "Don't worry, this matter won't involve you. After Grandpa spoke, I contacted several smaller families to launch attacks on the Han family from different angles. These people's affairs are somewhat similar to yours, thus diverting the Han family's attention and preventing them from having the time and energy to pay attention to you or cause you trouble." Lin Zichang further explained.
“You’ve thought this through very well. If it weren’t for your intervention, especially those measures you took later, the Han family might have actually taken notice of me! It would have been easy for them to make things difficult for me! It would have been a problem for me, though I could have solved it, but it would have been very troublesome.”
“I think our conflict with the Han family is very likely to escalate further, but your actions have directly nipped that possibility in the bud.” Chen Dong said with gratitude.
