Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

At this time, Hua Chaochao came over from the shooting range. She saw Hua Xi alone on the stage and the mercenaries pushing each other below the stage, and she immediately understood what was going on.

Hua Chaochao rolled her eyes and approached Ji Xianchen and Li Cenyuan, suggesting to them, "Why don't you two go up?"

Unexpectedly, the two men refused in unison.

"No."

Under normal circumstances, they would be happy to compete with Hua Xi, but now, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hua Xi was in a very bad mood, and they did not want to bring bad luck upon themselves.

Hua Chaochao was surprised by their tacit understanding, and then laughed out loud: "So cowardly."

For the first time in their lives, Ji Xianchen and Li Cenyuan were described as cowards, but they could not refute it. They really did not want to fight Hua Xi.

Hua Chaochao looked towards the actual combat stage, "I'm afraid someone can't refuse. My sister is watching us right now."

At that time, Ji Xianchen and Li Cenyuan were both facing the combat stage sideways. After hearing this, their bodies stiffened instantly, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads to look at Hua Xi.

Only Hua Chaochao was gloating: "Brother Ji, don't hide. I'm looking at you."

Ji Xianchen almost stopped breathing.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his head slowly, and as expected, his gaze met Hua Xi's.

Hua Xi had no expression on her face. She opened her lips slightly and uttered only two words: "Come up."

Li Cenyuan suddenly felt relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He smiled and extended his right hand to Ji Xianchen, "Please."

Hua Chaochao followed suit and extended her hand, "Please."

Ji Xianchen's mouth twitched slightly: "..."

Is it too late for him to leave now?

The answer is obvious: it’s too late.

Under the current circumstances, he has to go even if he doesn't want to.

Under the spotlight of many people, Ji Xianchen put down the review board, stepped onto the actual competition stage, and stood opposite Hua Xi.

Ji Xianchen took a deep breath and asked Hua Xi cautiously, "Are you really going to fight?"

Hua Xi looked at Ji Xianchen as if he was a fool. If he didn't really fight, could he just pretend to fight?

"Don't hold back. Show them what real combat is like."

Since Hua Xi said so, what else could Ji Xianchen do but agree.

"it is good."

This duel between the desperate leader and the black market manager was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, instantly causing a thousand waves and attracting the attention of other mercenaries who were undergoing shooting and physical tests.

Without a second thought, they immediately gave up the assessment tasks that they had not yet completed and rushed to the actual combat area to watch this unprecedented battle.

Moni and the three officers also came over. They were also curious about the competition. Who would be better, the leader of Desperate Situation or the manager of the black market?

Before long, the originally empty combat stage was surrounded by a dense crowd of people. The scene was spectacular, and almost all the desperate people came to watch the fight.

Mo Ni squeezed to Hua Chaochao's side with great effort and asked curiously, "Why are they fighting?"

Hua Chaochao briefly explained the reason, and Moni suddenly understood.

"It's time to give them a beating."

Maybe it's because people have been living in comfort for too long and have lost their motivation to make progress.

On the stage.

Hua Xi took the lead in attacking.

The fierce palm wind went straight towards Ji Xianchen, who reacted very quickly and dodged it by turning his head. Then, he raised his hand, as if he wanted to grab Hua Xi's hand, but Hua Xi had already seen through his intention and quickly withdrew his hand. At the same time, he kicked out, and Ji Xianchen immediately blocked it with his foot.

The two men's legs collided heavily, stirring up a strong wind. Then, they each took a few steps back, readjusted their positions, and started fighting again.

The competition became more and more intense, and the movements of both sides became faster and faster. Some moves were even so fast that they were dazzling and difficult to see clearly.

Hua Chaochao stood aside and watched with great interest. She said excitedly, "Guess who will win in the end?"

Moni answered without hesitation: "The leader must have won! Look, Ji Guanli has been beaten back again and again."

Indeed, judging from the scene, Ji Xianchen was dodging Hua Xi's attacks most of the time and rarely took the initiative to attack.

However, Li Cenyuan has a different opinion from Moni.

He analyzed: "In fact, Ji Guanli is not really at a disadvantage. He should be testing the pattern of Chief Bai's moves. Once he has figured out the opponent's routine, he will naturally counterattack."

"Really?" Moni didn't realize it.

Although Li Cenyuan had lost his memory, as a ninth-level martial arts expert, he was still very sensitive to various moves and was able to capture a lot of key information from them.

At this time, Hua Chaochao said confidently: "I guess they will end up in a tie."

The book says that the male and female protagonists are evenly matched. If the female is not stronger than the male, neither of them will be stronger than the other, so it is undoubtedly a draw.

"Draw? Impossible." Moni disagreed with Hua Chaochao's guess. After all, in most cases, as long as there are two people competing, it is almost impossible to end in a draw.

"Since the three of us have different opinions, why don't we just make a bet?" Hua Chaochao suggested.

Moni: "Okay, I'm determined to bet on the leader to win."

Hua Chaochao: "I bet on a tie."

Then, they both turned their gazes to Li Cenyuan.

In fact, Li Cenyuan didn't want to participate in this bet at all, but facing those two expectant eyes, he was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only nod helplessly and said: "Then... I will choose the discipline management position."

"The bet is established! Now let's talk about what the stakes are." Hua Chaochao said excitedly.

Without saying a word, he pulled out a gleaming silver gun from his waist: "I'll use my silver gun as a bet!"

This silver gun is Moni's most treasured treasure. It is a gift given to her by the former leader of Desperate Situation because she is good at shooting.

She was usually reluctant to use the silver spear, but now she was willing to take it out as a bet, which showed that she was fully confident that she would win the bet.

Hua Chaochao knew what this silver spear meant to Moni, so she kindly advised, "Sister Moni, your bet is too big, why don't you change to something else."

Moni was firm, "No change, this is it."

Hua Chaochao advised again: "What if you make a wrong bet? You should change it."

The truth is that she didn't want a gun; it was of no use to her.

Moni still firmly believed that she would not lose, and vowed: "I will never lose, the leader will definitely win."

Then, she reminded the other two: "You two can choose anything as a bet, just in case you lose and feel reluctant to part with it."

Hua Chaochao: ...I’m afraid you’ll be the one who won’t let go in the end.

Since she refused to listen, Hua Chaochao just let her do what she wanted.

At this time, Li Cenyuan touched himself and found that except for a mobile phone, he had nothing else that could be used as a bet.

His expression was a little awkward, but he still said frankly: "I have nothing to bet with."

"I do have a suggestion, but I don't know if you agree with it." An idea suddenly came to Moni's mind.

Li Cenyuan asked: "What suggestions?"

Moni replied: "If you make a wrong bet, you can stay as an instructor and guide the mercenaries' martial arts training for a month. Do you think this is okay?"

When Hua Chaochao heard this, she couldn't help but look at Moni with approval, thinking that she really would not miss any opportunity to exploit Li Cenyuan.

I thought Li Cenyuan would think it over carefully, but I didn't expect him to agree immediately without hesitation, "Okay."

Now only Hua Chaochao has not put up her bet.

Hua Chaochao raised the corner of her mouth and said slowly: "You are all playing so big, so I can't fall behind."

Then, she thought for a moment and continued, "Well, if the outcome is not a draw, I will tell you a secret about my sister, a secret that even she herself doesn't know."

"Secret? Or a secret that even the leader himself doesn't know? Then I'm really interested in listening to it." Moni was extremely curious about the secret of Hua Xi that Hua Chaochao mentioned.

Hua Chaozhao smiled slightly, as if seeing through Mo Ni's thoughts, and added deliberately: "This secret is definitely explosive news."

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, making Moni's curiosity even stronger. "You are seducing me!"

"really want to know?"

"of course!"

However, Hua Chaochao suddenly changed the subject, revealing a hint of regret. "That's such a pity."

Hua Chaochao's gaze shifted to the combat stage, where the two people had stopped fighting.

“They didn’t win or lose.”

Li Cenyuan also stared at the stage, "Indeed, their strengths are equal, evenly matched."

When Mo Ni heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief, and she cried out in surprise: "How is this possible!"

On the actual combat stage.

Ji Xianchen covered his shoulder with his left hand, twisted it slightly, and said, "That's really cruel."

Hua Xi also covered her right wrist and replied while turning around: "Same here."

Both men were injured to varying degrees, but it was undeniable that they had a great time fighting.

After witnessing a peak showdown between two ninth-level martial arts masters, the mercenaries who were originally noisy and shouting were all stunned, their mouths opened so wide that an egg could be stuffed in, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

Is this the skill of a strong man?

The strength is too strong.

Compared with the two of them, they were just like elementary school students fighting, the gap was too big.

Hua Xi looked at everyone expressionlessly and then said, "This is how we fight in actual combat. Do you understand?"

The mercenaries shouted in unison as if they had just woken up from a dream: "I understand!"

Hua Xi nodded: "Very good, the assessment will continue, and the three groups that have already finished the assessment will all take it again."

Hearing this, the three groups of six mercenaries responded in unison: "Yes!"

Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen walked down from the practice platform and returned to their positions as examiners.

As soon as she came down, Hua Xi noticed a pair of extremely resentful gazes fixed on her.

She turned her head and found that it was Moni who was staring at her.

Hua Xi:?

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Moni said resentfully, "You've failed me."

Hua Xi was confused. When had she let her down?

When Ji Xianchen heard the word "let down", he misunderstood and looked at Hua Xi in shock.

Let down? Is that what he understood?

Fortunately, Mo Ni did not let Ji Xianchen misunderstand for too long, and continued: "Why didn't you win?"

Hua Xi became even more confused after hearing this.

Why should she win?

Moni muttered angrily, "Do you know that I gambled my precious silver spear for you?"

Now Hua Xi finally understood. It turned out that they were making a bet, and Moni bet that she would win.

If that was the case, then she had indeed betrayed Moni's trust.

"Sorry, I'll win it back next time."

Moni: "Forget it, you didn't lose on purpose." She didn't really blame Hua Xi.

Willing to accept defeat, Mo Ni drew out the silver spear from her waist, reluctantly handed it to Hua Chaochao, and said with reluctance: "Take good care of it."

Hua Chaochao took the silver spear and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, Sister Mo Ni, I will take good care of it."

Seeing this scene, Hua Xi was a little surprised and asked Hua Chaochao: "Did you bet right?" She thought no one would bet right.

Hua Chaochao raised his chin with a smug look on his face and answered proudly, "That's right! I bet that you and Brother Ji will tie. Even Uncle Cen's bet was wrong. He bet that Brother Ji would win."

Now it was Ji Xianchen's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect Li Cenyuan to be so optimistic about him.

Seeing this, Li Cenyuan could only smile bitterly and shook his head.

He also did not expect this result.

"Master Cen Yuan, you made a wrong bet. You agreed to be an instructor in Jue Jing for a month. You won't go back on your word, right?" The precious gun is gone, and the curious secrets can no longer be heard. This is the only thing that can make Moni happy now.

Li Cenyuan: "Of course I won't regret it."

With Li Cenyuan's words, Moni felt relieved. After talking for a few more words, she returned to the shooting area and continued to review the mercenaries' shooting assessments.

With the demonstration by Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen, the following assessment looked much more pleasing to the eye. At least Hua Xi didn't frown anymore.

There are thousands of mercenaries in Desperate Situation, and the assessment cannot be completed in one day. It will take three days.

So Hua Xi was busy with the assessment for the past three days and somewhat neglected Hua Chaochao.

This just gave Hua Chaochao an opportunity.

On the afternoon of the third day of the assessment, Hua Chaochao walked out of the main gate of Juejing in a dignified manner.

However, before she had walked far, someone suddenly attacked her from behind, trying to knock her unconscious with a knife.

Hua Chaochao took advantage of the situation, closed her eyes, and pretended to faint and fall to the ground.

Then, she felt herself being carried on someone's shoulders and stuffed into a car.

She heard people talking in the car: "Is that her?"

"Yes, the person that Xin Shao wants to arrest is her, there is no doubt about it."

"After three days of waiting, I finally caught him."

"Yes, let's take him back quickly so that we can report back."

Hua Chaochao found it more and more bored the more she listened, so she simply fell asleep in the car.

An hour later, the car stopped safely near Li's house.

Just as they were about to put Hua Chaochao into a large sack to bring her to the Li family, Hua Chaochao opened her eyes and said slowly, "Forget about carrying her, but if you use a sack, I won't agree."
