Due to Shi Man’s stable shooting skills, she actually suppressed Zhao Jing’s team and won.

Cheng Luo jumped up happily and hugged Shi Man’s neck. A cold breath assaulted her nose.

Before she could be happy enough, her arm was suddenly stared at by a cold gaze, scaring her so much that she subconsciously shivered.

Shi Man pulled Cheng Luo off her and retreated helplessly. “I’ll leave for a while. You don’t need my help for the next competition, right?”

Cheng Luo nodded solemnly.

Just now, she had no choice but to ask Shi Man for help because Class B had pulled in Zhao Jing as external help. Now that Zhao Jing had lost so badly, she would definitely not go on court again.

At this moment, the score of zero on the referee’s seat was still hanging in place.

Zhao Jing had never lost so badly before. She immediately felt ashamed. Looking at Shi Man’s arrogant appearance, the fire in her heart suddenly burned.

Gao Shu had never been so embarrassed before. Now, she looked at Zhao Jing’s back with disdain.

Zhao Jing turned around as if she had sensed something. She immediately saw the disdain in Gao Shu’s eyes that she had yet to conceal. Her face burned. “What kind of gaze is that? Could it be that I was the only one who lost this match?”

Gao Shu came from a prominent family. In fact, she had never taken these seemingly noble instructors seriously. Therefore, in the face of the useless Zhao Jing, she did not speak too politely. “Instructor Zhao, haven’t you always boasted that you haven’t met your match on the basketball court? Why are you being restricted like a rookie today? Don’t you feel ashamed to question us?”

As she spoke, she snorted coldly and said with a regretful expression, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you go on court from the beginning. We wouldn’t have lost so badly.”

Zhao Jing had never been so humiliated in basketball.

She admitted that her strength in the instructors was even inferior to Zhang Rui’s. She did not have a family background to support her, so she could only rely on carefully currying favor with Zhang Rui to gain a foothold.

However, she had always been a dazzling player in the basketball competition.

She had also contributed to the officialization of the basketball competition in the army. Zhao Jing wanted everyone to know that she was not useless. She still had her own merits.

However, Shi Man’s appearance today made her the joke of the entire army.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously clenched her fists by her sides, and her expression became colder. “Gao Shu, no matter how much you look down on me, I’m still your instructor on the surface. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take revenge on you if you say that about me?”

“How dare you!” Gao Shu was also angry at this moment, so she simply turned on her. “If you dare to use your position to take revenge, believe it or not, I’ll make you lose your current job in minutes!”

Zhao Jing’s clenched fists suddenly relaxed, and she looked a little stunned.

Gao Shu sneered in disdain and left the venue with the other members.

They had lost so badly, so they did not have the face to continue embarrassing themselves with Zhao Jing!

This person was useless to her now. She still had to think of another way to pull Shi Man down!

She just couldn’t stand the fact that a woman could easily surpass her status in the army!

Her family was very well-off, but she had still been bullied a lot when she first entered the army.

Which person in the capital’s army didn’t have a background?

If she was weak, she would not be valued like she was at home. Her words and actions were also very insignificant.

Later on, after her hard work, she could finally make others look at her.

Therefore, every time a new recruit came to the army, she enjoyed torturing the newcomer. On the surface, she wanted the recruit to grow quickly, but in fact, she was just selfishly satisfying her already distorted heart.

This way, Shi Man, who had received a lot of attention as soon as she entered the army, became a thorn in her eyes.

She just wanted to see Shi Man being pulled down from a high place and thrown into the mud!

In the audience, Yi Zheng couldn’t sit still anymore when he saw the pair of fair legs walking out of the arena. He took a deep breath, stood up, and chased after her.

Outside the changing room, Shi Man deliberately slowed down. After wandering in the corridor outside for a while, she heard hurried footsteps approaching and quickly stopping behind her.

She chuckled and turned around with a straight face.

But before she could move, a pair of strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist, and right on the heels of that, her cold legs were suddenly covered in warmth.

She looked down and saw that Yi Zheng had taken off his suit jacket at some point. His sleeves were tied tightly around her waist, and the clothes covered her legs.

Shi Man glanced at him helplessly and saw the flames in the man’s eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Man sized him up calmly. After confirming that he was not poisoned, she was slightly relieved.

However, since he was not poisoned, why was this person’s face so red?

Yi Zheng looked away unnaturally. Being stared at by her, the fire in his heart burned more intens..
