Chapter 230 Lin Hao: Don't ask anymore, my face hurts. The whole process lasted a full minute.
That minute felt like an eternity to everyone on the mountaintop.
Bai Wei stared intently at Zhang Ruobing's hand, her heart pounding.
It's fake...it must be fake...she kept repeating to herself, which became her only obsession at that moment.
They must have gotten the props from somewhere to try and get away with it. As long as the instructor announces that the flag is fake, Su An will not only be disgraced, but also expelled from the training camp for cheating. Then, first place will still be mine...
Finally, under Bai Wei's almost suffocating gaze, Zhang Ruobing raised her head, gave Lei Kuan a solemn military salute, and reported in a loud voice:
"Report to the Chief Instructor! The flag has been verified! The material is military-grade anti-scratch nylon cloth, the dye is the third batch of special pigments from 1966, the edges are reinforced with double-line stitching, the serial number is clear, and the stamp is correct! It can be confirmed that this red flag is genuine."
Bai Wei felt a buzzing in her brain, her vision went black for a moment, and her body staggered back two steps uncontrollably.
Really...really?
How could it possibly be true?!
If this flag is real, then... then wouldn't everything I just said become a joke? Wouldn't my confident accusation become slander?
The surrounding students were completely dumbfounded.
After a deathly silence, a tsunami of discussion erupted from the surrounding area.
"My God! The flag is real! And that score of 280 is real too?!"
"This...this is impossible! Su An only had Chen Xiaocao with her, how did they manage to do that?"
"Didn't Bai Wei just say something that seemed so convincing? She even brought Qiao Lin and Du Jinshan along as witnesses, saying that Su An and the others never went to the top of the mountain. And what happened? They've been slapped in the face!"
"Tsk tsk, this is going to be interesting. She boasted that she got first place, but then someone else slapped her in the face with a score of 280. Now she's reporting the other person for cheating, but the flag is still real... She's so embarrassed, I feel ashamed for her."
A barrage of gazes, like needles, pierced Bai Wei from all directions, filled with mockery and schadenfreude.
Qiao Lin's face turned pale and then red. She couldn't understand how the red flag, which she had fought so hard to obtain, had ended up in the hands of that rural soldier she looked down on the most. This made her feel even worse than if she had been eliminated herself.
Even Zhao Yan, who had always been prejudiced against Su An, looked at Su An with incomprehension in her eyes at this moment.
On the one hand, she wished Su An would suffer, but on the other hand, she felt extremely pleased to see Bai Wei, that despicable person, get humiliated.
She couldn't understand how this seemingly frail and helpless woman managed to achieve a score of over 200 points while carrying a burden, and why the red flag that Sun Erniu took was on Su An and Chen Xiaocao.
Could it be... that Sun Erniu wasn't killed by Lin Hao?
Bai Wei shook her head violently, as if trying to shake off those terrible thoughts from her mind. Impossible! Even if the flag was real, they must have stolen it, or picked it up!
Lin Hao! Yes, Lin Hao too! He's coming soon, he can prove everything! He can prove that the red flag belongs to our team!
Just as the entire audience fell into an eerie silence and a state of speculation.
An instructor responsible for catching eliminated trainees ran up the mountain, panting heavily.
He ran up to Lei Kuan, saluted, and reported loudly, "Reporting, Chief Instructor! The last batch of trainees has all been brought here!"
It's here!
Bai Wei's eyes lit up instantly!
She immediately pushed through the crowd and jogged toward the path.
Lin Hao, he's here! They've finally brought back their team's flag!
All eyes followed her, turning to the path leading down the mountain.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for the person who can reveal the final answer to the mystery.
