Chapter 621: No Evidence Needed
At 2pm the shooting competition officially began.
That afternoon, the issue of Gu Mang’s use of performance enhancing drugs for the load-bearing run in the morning had spread throughout the base. Everyone was waiting for Gu Mang to make a fool out of herself in the afternoon. There was no way that she could use such despicable tricks during the shooting competition and the obstacle race.
The discussions amongst the neighboring classes were very loud. They did not even try to keep their voices low. They mocked and sneered at Gu Mang for her lack of shooting ability.
Tang Xiaoxiao almost couldn’t hold back the urge to charge at them.
Li Mu held her back. “Just wait for the results of the shooting competition and obstacle race.”
Li Mu was actually rather worried as he had seen Gu Mang’s shooting but he did not believe that Gu Mang would use drugs to perform better. He couldn’t understand why Gu Mang would purposely fail during training if she was in reality very skilled.
...
At the podium.
The people who had come with Lu Chengzhou from Red Scorpion’s main base had equally complicated emotions about it.
How could they not know about the rumors? The students spoke so much about it.
The military instructors had also reported to them that Gu Mang did not show any signs of stimulant use. She had not cheated during the load bearing run.
But Gu Mang’s shooting was a chaotic mess and all of them had seen it with their own eyes.
No amount of coaching would help.
No one knew what kind of commotion the students would cause when her shooting results came out.
...
At the training ground.
The students went up in the same order as they did in the morning. Chen Liang was the first to compete from the traditional chinese medicine department.
Each person had ten shots.
All the military instructors scored at the tenth ring. They gave the rankings based on how far away the shot was from the middle of the target.
The law faculty placed first. The mechatronics faculty placed second. The traditional chinese medicine department placed seventh.
The military instructors were only a few tenths away from the middle of the target.
When Chen Liang finished his part, he rubbed his nose with some guilt. “My shooting skills are not as good as those of Instructor Li Mu. If he had gone up instead, he would have secured the first place spot for all of you.”
“It’s fine, sir. We just have to try our best,” the students said.
Chen Liang nodded and patted everyone on the shoulder. “All the best.”
Gu Mang bent her leg and stood in a casual posture at the side. Her cap was pushed down low and her eyes were drooping. She looked calm.
Chen Liang looked at her and said something.
Gu Mang’s lack of shooting skills was widely known. She had barely been able to hit the target. All the other classes were waiting to see her make a fool out of herself.
He wished she would at the very least do a little better than barely on target.
The next students to step forward were boys from various classes. The representative sent by the traditional chinese medicine department was Ding Hang.
When the class chairperson of the law faculty stepped forward, he glared at the students from the traditional chinese medicine department condescendingly when he passed by them.
He passed through the crowd and bumped Ding Hang’s shoulder with provocative intentions intentionally.
“How brazen of your faculty to use those tactics just to win a competition.” The class chairperson of the law faculty sneered as he walked by.
Ding Hang’s face turned dark immediately. “Guo Tian, what the f*ck did you just say?!”
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and tried to grab Guo Tian but Chen Liang held him back.
Guo Tian turned his head. “I said, your faculty is despicable and shameless! Perfect-scoring scholar? What dirty tricks...”
He glared at Gu Mang.
“Shut the f*ck up!” Ding Hang glared at him. “You guys are the ones who have been spreading rumors about Gu Mang using drugs since afternoon. Where’s your evidence?”
Guo Tian scoffed. “Do we need evidence? Isn’t it obvious? If you want to rank first, compete fairly. Don’t use those f*cked up tricks.”
He harrumphed and walked towards the shooting area.
“F*cking hell!” Ding Hang cursed. He was totally in a mad rage. He threw his hat on the ground and felt like charging at Guo Tian.
He looked like he was ready to fight.
Suddenly, someone grabbed him by the wrist. Ding Hang turned back and saw Gu Mang’s eyes. They were dark and cold.
“Compete first,” she said cooly.
“But he said that sh*t about you!” Ding Hang found it hard to let go of it.
