CHAPTER 997: CHAPTER 997: THE CONSEQUENCES OF CAUSING TROUBLE ON THE FIELD

Although Gao Mantang also has a laid-back personality, these two kids have gone a bit too far, and eventually, he stood up.

Gao Mantang turned his head and glared at Gao Zhitao, but Gao Zhitao pretended not to see, and the two acted as if they were crazy.

Most people here know Gao Zhitao, but they don’t know Tie Zhuzi’s group, not sure which team they belong to.

They were all secretly sweating for Tie Zhuzi, thinking that the leadership might deal with them later, and they would definitely face punishment when this is all over.

Little Xuan only felt his face burning and then found a very secluded place to sit.

He certainly didn’t want to be around these two ’lunatics’.

Seeing these two kids completely ignoring him, Gao Mantang finally called over his security detail and whispered a few instructions in their ear.

The security guard looked very embarrassed, then asked Gao Mantang, "Is this okay?"

"Follow my instructions." Gao Mantang said very sternly.

The security guard could only nod and then walked away.

Gao Zhitao had already seen Gao Mantang’s actions out of the corner of his eye, so he hurriedly pulled Tie Zhuzi to sit down.

"What’s up?" Tie Zhuzi asked suspiciously.

"I think we’d better leave quickly, or there’ll be trouble." Gao Zhitao whispered mysteriously.

Tie Zhuzi nonchalantly replied, "No worries, with your grandpa here, who dares mess with us?"

"The problem is him, I’m worried he might make a move on the two of us." Gao Zhitao said.

"No way, don’t overthink it, just focus on watching the competition." Tie Zhuzi said indifferently.

Just then, four people suddenly stood in front of them, and Gao Zhitao recognized them as the security details of Gao Mantang.

"What do you want?" Tie Zhuzi glared and asked.

"You two, please come with us, the general has some instructions for you." One of them said very respectfully.

"Who is their general?" Tie Zhuzi looked at Gao Zhitao with a puzzled expression and asked.

Gao Zhitao was speechless, then whispered, "It’s my grandpa, the old guy, let’s just go with them, otherwise, it might get serious later."

Tie Zhuzi, upon hearing that Gao Zhitao’s grandpa was calling for them, then stood up and went with the four men.

Only after the two left did the audience seats calm down again. Everyone sat quietly watching the competition, and no one shouted loudly anymore.

Sitting far away, Little Xuan wasn’t worried, with Gao Zhitao there, they shouldn’t be in any real danger.

Moreover, he could finally quietly watch how elite soldiers in the army performed.

No other incidents occurred in the afternoon’s competition, everything followed its course.

Sitting there, Little Xuan felt a multitude of emotions. Elites are elites, whether in terms of physical fitness or professional skills, they were impeccable.

At five in the afternoon, the competition officially ended. When those soldiers walked out, they were all excited.

At the exit, two people were hanging, one with a tall stature and dark skin, and the other with fair skin and some bandages, with a crutch by his side.

Those two were Tie Zhuzi and Gao Zhitao.

After being called out, the two were directly tied up and hung bare-backed there. The soldiers walking by watched them, each one laughing heartily.

"Hey, hey, what are you looking at, never seen such a handsome physique? We are working out here, you know nothing." Tie Zhuzi shouted.

"Exactly, you blockheads, I’m telling you, you’re bound to become impotent sooner or later." Gao Zhitao also yelled.

Little Xuan was the last to leave the venue. When he saw the two hanging there, he was speechless. Now, he had to admire Gao Mantang’s methods, such harsh treatment even toward his own grandson.

"Is it really okay to hang them like that?" Wan Shengnan asked Gao Mantang while looking from one floor above.

Gao Mantang had a ’hate iron for not becoming steel’ look and said, "Don’t underestimate this kid, his skin is thick, even a knife wouldn’t make him bleed."

The people around exchanged smiles and walked away. They already knew that the one with fair skin was Gao Mantang’s grandson.

"Little Xuan, hurry and get us down, my arms are swelling." Tie Zhuzi spoke now that everyone had left.

Gao Zhitao was also exhausted; he already had injuries, and freezing here for so long was more than he could bear.

After Little Xuan cut the rope with a knife, Gao Zhitao sat down on the ground directly.

"That old guy is too ruthless; I won’t take care of him in the future." Gao Zhitao complained.

Gao Zhitao and Tie Zhuzi put on their clothes and quickly headed to the resting area. Along the way, many people kept laughing at them.

When the three returned to the resting area, Xiang Yu was still there sleeping soundly. Gao Zhitao came forward intending to wake him up.

But before Little Xuan could say anything, Gao Zhitao was kicked away by Xiang Yu.

Gao Zhitao fell onto the sofa, almost on the verge of tears from the pain.

"Xiang Yu, you son of a bitch, set me up." Gao Zhitao shouted.

Xiang Yu groggily woke up, seeing the footprint on Gao Zhitao, he said, "Had a dream, thought someone was trying to kill me, so I kicked him."

Everyone: "..."

After dinner, they watched TV for a while. As they were preparing to go to their rooms to rest, Gao Mantang came in with a flushed face; he seemed to have been drinking.

Gao Zhitao and Tie Zhuzi were like they had seen a ghost and quickly went to their rooms to rest, locking the doors too.

"Little Xuan, you go to your room first." Xiang Yu said.

Little Xuan didn’t quite understand why Xiang Yu said that, but he nodded and left.

Gao Mantang sat carelessly on the opposite side of Xiang Yu, then poured himself a glass of water.

"What do you think of today’s competition?" Gao Mantang asked with a smile.

Although Gao Mantang had been drinking, he still seemed relatively clear-headed.

"Quite splendid." Xiang Yu spoke perfunctorily; in fact, he hadn’t paid attention to the competition, nor had he attended in the afternoon.

"These people can be considered elites from various military districts. Back then, Zhitao’s father was also an elite in the army." Gao Mantang said, his eyes shining with tears, as if recalling past events.

"You resemble him when he was young." Gao Mantang looked at Xiang Yu, his eyes full of endless fondness.

If outsiders saw this, they might have thought Gao Mantang was interested in men.

Xiang Yu didn’t continue asking, he already knew something about Gao Zhitao’s father.

Gao Mantang talked for a long time about the past, mostly about Gao Zhitao’s father. He admitted that, as a father, he was inadequate, so he hoped to pour all his love into Gao Zhitao.

However, this kid just doesn’t behave, showing no interest in military life, which makes Gao Mantang a bit heartbroken.

Luckily, this kid has made some achievements in the police department.

Gao Mantang’s eyes shone with tears when he spoke emotionally, but they didn’t fall.

He talked a lot, while Xiang Yu played the role of a listener, eventually looking at Xiang Yu, saying, "Do you know Wan Shengnan?"
