Chapter 535 - 535 522 Deceiving and Bluffing the Chain of Evidence

535: Chapter 522: Deceiving and Bluffing the Chain of Evidence 535: Chapter 522: Deceiving and Bluffing the Chain of Evidence Although this competition included some fish catches toward the end, it was still far from the expectations!

In total, only 47 fish were caught, and calculating from half a pound to about six two per fish, it was less than 25 pounds of fish!

This performance would definitely not earn any points!

To earn a point, according to Yue Feng’s estimate, at least 30 pounds were needed.

The missing five pounds of fish, roughly calculated to the tail numbers, were about ten, exactly the time lost due to the sabotaged nesting spot and the readjustments made afterward.

“Who told you to mess with me?

Tell me the truth, and I’ll let you off the hook!” Yue Feng squinted his eyes, his facial expression extremely calm, as he asked Zhang Hao next to him.

Zhang Hao looked very panicked, his complexion even uglier, shaking his head in vain: “No…

nobody!

What are you saying, I don’t understand!”

“Seeing you’re young and ignorant, I’ll give you one last chance!

Who!

Told!

You!

To!

Mess!

Up?” Yue Feng’s tone was very mild, but each word was full of oppressive force, which greatly impacted Zhang Hao!

“If I tell you, will you not report me?”

“Yes, tell me!”

“It…

It was my cousin Leng Xiaojun!

He gave me a capsule, and told me to mix it into the bait if I drew you, and to drop it near your nesting spot!”

Under the overwhelming pressure of Yue Feng’s presence, Zhang Hao wilted like a frostbitten eggplant and confessed his “crime” truthfully.

“Hmph!

Tell him to start praying.

If this matter affects the final results, I’ll expose everything about today!”

“You…

You’re not keeping your word!

You said you’d let me off if I told you!”

“I don’t need to keep my word with vermin like you!” Yue Feng turned his head and ignored the fool further.

From the moment he realized he was sabotaged, Yue Feng had been playing psychological tactics!

It was evident from his age that Zhang Hao was quite young and didn’t have much experience.

Initially, Yue Feng merely spooked him with the drone stunt, acting randomly without giving it much thought!

But seeing Zhang Hao’s significant reaction and change in complexion, Yue Feng got more ideas.

Now that the competition was over, and he had deliberately led the conversation, he had completed the entire chain of evidence.

If Zhang Hao had been psychologically stronger and denied everything from the first sentence, Yue Feng would have been powerless!

Drone video?

The video at most showed someone using Stabbing Toad techniques near the boundary line for a few throws, after which Yue Feng stopped talking!

Is that evidence?

It’s hardly conclusive; if things escalated, it would just be mutual accusations!

But now that he had tricked out the testimony, combined with the earlier video, it was enough to prove the tricks involved!

Throughout the conversation, the drone continuously recorded and filmed everything!

Although Yue Feng spoke in a cold tone, he never resorted to loud threats or yelling; he merely used some psychological tactics to boost his presence.

Now Zhang Hao was completely flabbergasted!

If things blew up, not only would he be in trouble, but his cousin would also be doomed!

He had fallen into a trap set by the other party!

Soon, the staff responsible for tallying the scores came over to weigh Yue Feng’s catch, and it was the familiar old referee, Zhang Weidong!

“How did this round of fishing go, little Yue?

How’s the catch?”

Yue Feng shook his head: “Got sabotaged by someone nearby, the nesting spot was destroyed, and the catch was unsatisfactory!”

After saying this, Yue Feng lifted the catch up.

“What happened?”

Hearing the word “sabotaged,” Zhang Weidong immediately became anxious, as it was the head referee who had assigned him to weigh the group Yue Feng was in.

The incident in the morning had occurred, and being at the center of controversy, it was imperative to maintain the normalcy of the event and stabilize the morale.

But now, after the penultimate match had finished this morning, one of the main characters who had just become the talk of the web, Yue Feng, claimed someone had sabotaged his fishing spot—this was a serious matter!

“You should weigh in first.

I need to report this to Teacher Hua and then decide how to handle it!

According to the complaint rules, isn’t it true that any allegations of rule violations must be reported within thirty minutes of the event’s conclusion to be valid?”

Yue Feng, who considered more aspects, didn’t bluntly state the whole situation right away like a hothead.

Zhang Weidong nodded, “Yes, that’s right!

Any violations can be appealed to our referees.

There’s a 500 yuan appeal fee.

If the appeal succeeds, the fee is refunded; if it fails, it is not refunded!”

“Please tally the score first, I’m in a hurry!”

“Alright!”

Soon, the score was out: 26.4 jin!

A bit higher than what Yue Feng had estimated.

After signing the score sheet, Yue Feng glanced again, noting that the scores for contestants one to seven had not yet been tallied.

His group’s current position put Yue Feng temporarily in third place.

No points left!

After signing, Yue Feng, without even packing up his gear, rushed to the waiting area entrance.

Seeing Yue Feng stride over with a cold expression, Teacher Hua had a bad feeling and asked with concern, “Yue Feng, how did this round go?

Your expression seems off!”

Yue Feng relayed the whole back story, the current situation, and his score to Teacher Hua, who’s face also changed after hearing it.

“You mean, seven people haven’t weighed in yet, and you’re currently ranked third?

Are you sure all the video and audio were recorded?”

“Yes!”

“Come with me.

I’ll take you to Wang Guofeng!” Without another word, Teacher Hua turned and headed straight for the chief referee’s temporary desk.

Following the public relations crisis orchestrated by the puppets behind the scenes, the event staff were already overwhelmed, and public opinion was fiercely against the event.

The internet platform is not traditional media, where relationships and sentiments matter.

A big company like Seafood Platform, with no business dealings here, absolutely doesn’t give Guangwei any consideration.

Seeing Teacher Hua walking over with an angler, a pang shot through Wang Jianfeng’s heart.

“Old Hua, there’s still one more match to be played.

What brings you here… something wrong?”

From start to finish, Teacher Hua recounted Yue Feng’s ordeal again, and as the chief referee, Wang Jianfeng inwardly cursed.

“Do you have video and audio evidence in hand?”

“All here!

You see how best to handle it!”

Wang Jianfeng continued, “Now, with the scores tallied, how many points does Yue have?”

Yue Feng shook his head, “I don’t know.

When Teacher Zhang tallied up to my number eight, it should have been three points!”

Wang Jianfeng nodded after hearing this, pulled out his phone, and made a call to Zhang Weidong, getting Yue Feng’s score for this round ahead of time.

Both the first big spot and the second spot had good catches.

Yue Feng’s final score this round was five points!

Adding up the scores from the previous six rounds, Yue Feng’s total points were now 11 points, still four points behind the second place’s 15 points.

This meant that as long as Yue Feng scored up to four points in the final round, even if the second-place contestant scored one point, the championship would still be in Yue Feng’s hands.

There was still a chance for victory.

“Old Hua, Yue!

The online platform has been highly critical of our competition’s rules this time, causing an uproar.

We’ve been friends for a long time, could you do me a favor and let’s put this on hold for a while!” Wang Jianfeng said, carefully choosing his words.

“Put it on hold?

How so?” Teacher Hua asked.
