Chapter 433
C433 – Jiang Hao Failed the Special Target Plate
If Jiang Hao and Huang Tianhua hadn’t been wearing different uniforms, the onlookers might have mistaken them both for instructors.
Curiosity piqued, many on the field watched the two as they made their way to the main stage, buzzing with speculation.
“What’s happening?”
“Did someone from Class Eight screw up? Are they both about to be punished?”
……
The crowd was baffled, tossing around wild guesses.
Meanwhile, the students of Class Eight seemed to realize something, their faces turning ashen as they whispered among themselves.
“Holy crap… This isn’t about the shooting scores, is it?”
“Is it possible that Jiang Hao’s score was the lowest in the whole school, dragging our instructor into this mess?”
“Damn, Jiang Hao really let us down at the worst possible time!”
……
Despite Huang Tianhua’s strictness, they had lived with him for three weeks and had grown fond of him.
Now, because of Jiang Hao, Huang Tianhua was caught up in the fallout, which might even extend to them.
In such a situation, it was only natural for them to harbor resentment towards Jiang Hao.
……
Elsewhere, Huang Tianhua and Jiang Hao approached the main platform.
“Reporting in!”
“Instructor Huang Tianhua and Deputy Jiang Hao from Class Eight, present!”
The officer in charge of Jiangbei University’s military training mission was a slightly portly middle-aged man with black glasses named Gang Jianbin.
Gang Jianbin gave Jiang Hao, who had jogged over with Huang Tianhua, an intrigued glance.
He might not have known Jiang Hao before, but that changed at the shooting range when a recorder eagerly approached him with a target.
Seeing the odd target and learning it was shot by a student named Jiang Hao, he became quite interested in this underperforming student.
Moreover, when the president of Jiangbei University heard the name Jiang Hao during his inspection, he too was taken aback.
Upon confirmation, they discovered that this Jiang Hao was the same student who had scored 747 on the college entrance exam.
He had turned down Shuimu University’s offer, choosing instead to attend Jiangbei University as the top-scoring entrant.
This revelation only deepened Gang Jianbin’s interest in Jiang Hao.
Now, he observed Jiang Hao, who had undergone just three weeks of military training, yet stood with the poise and presence of a seasoned soldier.
His eyes brimmed with affection.
He summoned the two of them forward!
Party Jianbin picked up a target from the table beside him and handed it to Huang Tianhua, saying,
“Huang Tianhua, take a good look at this target and tell me what’s different about it!”
Huang Tianhua, looking puzzled, nonetheless quickly responded and accepted the target.
“Yes, Commander!”
Huang Tianhua held the target, examining it intently for a moment.
This target seemed no different from the others!
Could the Commander have an ulterior motive?
Just then, Jiang Hao glanced at the target with unexpected recognition.
It was the very one he had shot, but he hadn’t anticipated the Commander would notice it.
As Huang Tianhua scrutinized it, turning it over in his hands while he pondered,
he suddenly noticed a bullet hole right in the center of the target!
That in itself wasn’t odd, but the size of the hole was peculiar—it was too large.
A standard bullet couldn’t achieve such an effect.
Unless, of course, the hole was made by a specially modified weapon or a large-caliber firearm!
But that was out of the question here, rendering the possible impossible!
Yet, that was under ordinary circumstances.
In extraordinary situations, there lay another possibility!
