In a society governed by law, everything is about evidence.

What is evidence?

The scattered bait left in front of Zhang Yang is evidence, but relying solely on this isn't foolproof!

Zhang Yang saw it with his own eyes and caught it in the act, seemingly solidifying the evidence, but if the staff slightly favors the identification of the bait, this evidence becomes insufficient. After all, the effect of fish driving is difficult to quantify, and it's not hard to manipulate the test process of scattered bait.

On this basis, can Zhang Yang produce the video of them lacing the bait?

Qian Wenjun, even with a calm mindset while lacing the bait, would inevitably reveal a guilty conscience in their actions. Upon careful observation, many of their gestures would betray their inner thoughts.

The laced bait is in Zhang Yang's hands, and the entire process video is also with Zhang Yang, so the credibility of accusing them of destroying the nest and poisoning skyrockets!

Even if the judging panel wants to muddy the waters, having key evidence in hand makes it difficult to overturn the case.

One could say Qian Wenjun is thoroughly under Zhang Yang's control now, with no room for lucky guesses.

"I... I'll give it!" Qian Wenjun hesitated for three seconds, then gritted their teeth and made the tough decision.

"What? Not going to take a gamble? What if I didn't capture it on my phone?" Zhang Yang's lips curled up, his tone filled with mockery.

"I admit defeat!"

Qian Wenjun said these four words dejectedly, as if all their spirit vanished at that moment.

"When will you fulfill it? You know I can't wait too long! I advise you not to play any delaying tactics! I've been through those myself!"

Since the other party agreed to compensate, Zhang Yang wasn't planning on being ruthless, especially since he hadn't suffered a loss, got the benefits and restored Meng Fan's dignity, considering the matter resolved.

"I don't have that much on my card, I'll have to ask a friend to transfer! About ten minutes!" Qian Wenjun said softly.

"Alright, I can wait ten minutes, weighing and compiling scores should also take a few minutes. If the money isn't visible after the time, I'll assume you're messing with me, and bear the consequences!"

"Understood..."

Soon, a deflated Qian Wenjun took out their phone to call a friend, and after several calls, their friend sent the transfer on WeChat, the forty thousand was gathered in less than five minutes.

"The money's here, add me on WeChat, and I'll transfer it to you!"

At the crucial moment, Zhang Yang was exceptionally focused, directly retrieving the company's public account collection code.

"Just scan this code; this compensation is entirely voluntary, no one forced you, right?"

While speaking, Zhang Yang unabashedly had his phone's video recording function on, showing no intention of concealing it.

Qian Wenjun understood the purpose as preventing any backlash afterward.

Qian Wenjun nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yang's statement.

Quickly, they took out their phone, scanned the code, and paid in two installments, and the money was transferred over.

With the funds received, Zhang Yang was in high spirits.

It wasn't that he needed the forty thousand, but rather the satisfaction of using his wisdom to punish the wrongdoer and securing compensation.

"You handle the judges; I will fully cooperate! Chen Guangzu is in cahoots with you guys; I've already learned well!"

"Considering your compliance, I won't pursue him taking Liu Zi's bait! I'll also waive the kneeling apology wager!"

"I understand!" Qian Wenjun nodded again, hurriedly texting Chen Guangzu.

With Zhang Yang expressing intent to withdraw and not pursue, the judges naturally wouldn't have an issue, as Chen Guangzu and several colleagues were quite in sync, even the head judge included.

Better fewer issues than more, even the head judge didn't want to delve into this mess. Since Qian Wenjun handled it, both parties reconciled, which was the best result for Chen Guangzu. If word spread widely, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

While Qian Wenjun privately messaged to cover their tracks, the staff approached Zhang Yang to tally the fishing results.

In the final competition, although Zhang Yang was delayed for a few minutes, his overall performance was outstanding. He ultimately caught 31.9 kilograms, standing out prominently in the group.

With the results tallied, Zhang Yang signed his name on the score sheet, shouldered his fishing box, grabbed his gear, and headed for the exit.

When Zhang Yang stepped outside, Liu Zi and Meng Fan had already come out in advance.

"Yang, what happened in the competition just now? Did you catch Qian Wenjun's tail?"

As soon as Zhang Yang emerged, Meng Fan came up eagerly to ask.

Zhang Yang grinned: "I recovered what was lost from your last competition! Details later when we get back!"

"Ah? How did you recover it?" Meng Fan asked in surprise upon hearing this news.

"The specifics later; I caught Qian Wenjun and they admitted defeat! The compensation has already been transferred to the public account, totaling forty thousand!"

"I even recorded a voluntary compensation video for him!" Zhang Yang said calmly with a smile.

"Damn!"

"Damn!"

Liu Zi and Meng Fan exclaimed simultaneously, expressing their astonishment.

...

On the other side, Qian Wenjun, lost and downcast, concluded weighing for the final competition and left the contest venue, head heavy with concerns.

During the competition, when he had physical contact with Zhang Yang, attracting the referee's attention, Qian Wenjun's fishing buddies saw it, and as he came out, Xiao Wei was the first to approach.
