“I’m jealous?” Zuo Qingluan glanced at Feng Wu. “Of you?”
She laughed.
Many people laughed with her.
Zuo Qingluan was better than Feng Wu in every aspect, from her capability to her family background, but Feng Wu claimed that Zuo Qingluan was jealous of her.
How ridiculous was that?
“Why should I be jealous of you?” Zuo Qingluan stared at Feng Wu and asked in a taunting voice.
Feng Wu chuckled. “You know what I mean.”
Zuo Qingluan’s face darkened a little. She knew what Feng Wu was referring to.
She was talking about the crown prince’s bias.
That only made Zuo Qingluan angrier.
She knew that the crown prince was more affectionate toward Feng Wu now, and things could get out of hand if she didn’t get rid of Feng Wu quickly enough.
Moreover, she couldn’t do it herself. It had to be someone else.
At that thought, Zuo Qingluan glanced at Mr. Wang, giving him a hint that it was time.
Mr. Wang stared at Feng Wu and announced, “Miss Qingluan is correct. A murderer should pay with their own life. Feng Wu, it’s time to die!”
He made a move before he finished talking.
“Hold on,” Chaoge intervened. “You all agree that a murder is punishable by death, right? Great!”
She smirked. “Wang Junwen deserved it!”
That statement surprised everyone.
Yu Hong’s expression changed.
Chaoge said, “Wang Junwen hired people to assassinate Xiao Wu, so Xiao Wu fought back. What’s wrong with that?”
Mr. Wang sneered at her. “I know Wang Junwen well. Now that she’s gone, you can slander her however you want!”
Chaoge waved at Sun Jingyu.
Sun Jingyu didn’t want to say anything, but she knew that Feng Wu would be very displeased if she remained silent.
However, if she testified, she would be working against Mr. Wang and Zuo Qingluan.
She couldn’t make up her mind.
Feng Wu glanced at her.
It made Sun Jingyu’s stomach lurch.
The look in Feng Wu’s eyes reminded her of the fallen White Lion Elephants.
She would only be telling the truth, so no one would do anything to her, probably.
“That’s right. Wang Junwen did indeed hire me to assassinate Feng Wu.”
Sun Jingyu was the class president of Class E, so everyone knew her face.
Her announcement silenced everyone.
Mr. Wang gave her a threatening look.
Sun Jingyu grew uneasy, but she went on, “Wang Junwen promised that she would give me 300 points after Feng Wu was killed.”
The other students didn’t know what to say.
Did Wang Junwen really do that?
If Sun Jingyu was telling the truth, Wang Junwen had it coming.
Mr. Wang stared at Sun Jingyu. “What proof do you have? Libel is as severe a crime as murder in the War Academy!”
Sun Jingyu had jumped onto Feng Wu’s wagon, so she couldn’t sit on the fence anymore.
She switched on her armband, and everyone recognized the voice that they heard.
Wang Junwen said, “Kill Feng Wu for me, and I’ll give you 300 points.”
Sun Jingyu asked, “Why do you want to kill Feng Wu?”
Wang Junwen said, “Do I need a reason to dislike someone?”
Sun Jingyu said, “No, you don’t, but you need a reason if you want to kill them.”
