Chapter 97 (2/2)

Many people present were confused, but some of those who got to know the matter felt shocked and spread what they learnt. Soon all the people present knew that the Shuangmu Gang was an underground force in the Civilian Area, whose fame skyrocketed recently for annexing more than a dozen gangs.

What such underground forces did was dirty deals that couldn’t be made public; therefore, Lin Xun couldn’t be a good guy.

Many people present were clear how disordered and dirty the Civilian Area was. Although they knew there were various underground gangs there, when the matter was discussed in public, something changed.

With so many eyes fixing on him, Lin Xun kept silent for a moment, and then nodded, “Yes, that’s true.”

The crowd was restless. It seemed that people hadn’t expected Lin Xun could admit it. Didn’t it mean he confirmed the comment made by President Yun Canglin.

Even Yu himself didn’t expect that Lin Xun would admit without hesitation, which made him feel surprised, but he didn’t think about it anymore.

In Yu’s opinion, Lin Xun was still too young and his reaction at the moment was quite normal since he must be completely struck by the power and influence of Yu. Lin Xun was sensible not to resist any more.

“Then was that you again who secretly incited those gangsters to stage a farce at the gate of Donglin School?”

Yu Canglin brought Lin Xun to account in a high voice. With his eyes blazing with anger, Yu acted in a more domineering manner as if he was judging a criminal.

Many of those who hadn’t known the truth couldn’t help but burst into another uproar. The information of the farce which happened yesterday at the gate of the Donglin School had spread throughout the entire Donglin Town, but who could imagine it was incited by a young boy?

If it was true, then didn’t it mean that the farce was a conspiracy actually?

At this moment, Lin Xun was not flurried. Looking steadily at Yu Canglin on the platform, he said, “Yes, that’s true.”

Seeing Lin Xun admitted again, even Mu Wansu felt uneasy and anxious, and she was wondering why the once sly boy became so timid, and didn’t he know once he admitted, he might not be able to walk out of the Donglin School, let alone pass the County Test!

On the platform, Mu Wansu was utterly confused and disconcerted, and she didn’t know what to do. Those sitting here were all big shots in Donglin Town; therefore, even she had Keystone Business to depend on, she couldn’t dominate the situation.

Compared with Mu Wansu, Wu Chaoqun looked serious, but his eyes were filled with complacence that couldn’t be covered up. Lin Xun was still too young after all to contend against those old guys.

At this moment, Yu Canglin drew back his eyes from Lin Xun, and spoke in a low voice to all present, “Now you must understand why I have made such a comment, and that is the reason why I refused to include his name in the list.”

Those big shots of Donglin Town on the platform all nodded. Yao Tuohai, who was sitting in the center, had no reaction, which meant that he had tacitly agreed.

At the moment, Yu Canglin sighed with emotion suddenly, “Considering this boy is still very young and has a chance to turn over a new leaf, Excellency Yao and I originally intended to let him take part in the following additional test, and if he performs well, I might give him an opportunity. What a pity! Even if I want to care for him, many people present won’t agree.”

A strong sense of hatred and disgust rose in the heart of Mu Wansu. Yu Canglin apparently had planned all this, but behaved with a strong sense of hypocritical righteousness. He was just so hypocritical, and Mu Wansu never thought the president of Donglin School turned out to be such a hypocrite.

But no matter what Mu Wansu thought, a gale of fevered yell burst out in the crowd the moment Yu Canglin finished his last sentence.

“We absolutely don’t agree! This guy is too evil and sordid to be allowed in the County Test.”

“Right! Such a villain! So vicious at such an age! He will definitely do harm to the whole world when he grows up!”

Not only should he not be allowed to take part in the County Test, but also he should be caught and harshly punished to warn others!”

The young were always easy to be incited, and they were especially unscrupulous when aiming at those who had nothing to do with them.

The square was inundated with feverish curses.

Those young boys and girls present to take part in the County Test all moved away from Lin Xun with the expression of abhorrence and being ashamed to be with Lin Xun.

On the vacant lot of such a size, stood Lin Xun, all alone.

Looking at this, Mu Wansu had a strong sense of incapability, and sighed silently. How stupid Lin Xun was today!

It was originally a County Test, but now the situation evolved into such a mess. Who would believe it was just a coincidence?

It must have been designed elaborately! By the intelligence showed by Lin Xun before, how could he didn’t see it through.

Lian Fei laughed with excitement, and Yao Susu stuck out her chest, proud and complacent. The result made them feel great.

On the platform, Wu Chaoqun and Yu Canglin looked at Lin Xun just like they were looking at a dead person. Yao Tuohai was still silent, with the thought hard to conjecture.

On the square, the crowd was burning with rage, with sounds of curses and blame echoing in the air.

At the moment, Lin Xun was facing thousands of accusing fingers.
