Chapter 98 (1/2)

Now it was really the time when you were cast aside by all others!

Lin Xun had not expected that he would encounter such treatment one day.

Looking around at those disgusted eyes and indignant faces, and those ostensibly righteous geezers on the high platform, he burst into a smile.

A big smile.

On his handsome and warm face, the smile was so dazzling in the sunlight, just like Lin’s derision at the world.

“Why do you laugh?”

All of a sudden, Yu Canglin shouted out, with a cold look on his face.

In his anticipation, Lin Xun had already equalled a prisoner. He thought that, under present situation, Lin would either argue loudly because of anger, or just kneel down, shedding tears and begging for forgiveness. But he had absolutely not thought that Lin Xun could still make a smile.

And it was a sneer so unscrupulous and so offending that even Yu Canglin couldn’t help but shout with rage.

Why did he laugh!?

The shout shocked all those present. Originally accusing and ridiculing Lin Xun, the people were all in a trance, and swiftly fixed their eyes on Lin.

Sure enough, this boy was laughing!

Seeing the smile on his face, everyone was very confused and felt it ridiculous. Immediately, they got enraged that the vicious bastard should still be able to make a smile at this point.

Lin Xun stood all alone, but he seemed to be unaware. He glanced around, and set his eyes on Yu Canglin in the end, saying, “I laugh for you are as blind as a bat, not telling right from wrong, and regard me as an unforgivable villain just by some rumours. If news on this matter spreads to the Forbidden City, every one of you will surely become a laughingstock and a disgrace of the imperial County Test!”

The voice was loud and the words were sharp, directly dragging all those present into the curse!

All of a sudden, all those present got infuriated and caused a commotion. Death at hand, he should be incorrigible. He should be slowly sliced to death!

The faces of the important figures on the high platform grew gloomier. What he just said was undoubtedly a challenge to their dignity. How could they bear to be publicly accused by such a young boy?

Even Yao Tuohai, who had been looking on coldly, frowned unnoticeably at the moment.

Compared with these people, however, Mu Wansu got quite a shock for his unbelievable audaciousness. Moreover, she again couldn’t help but speculate that this little brat finally began to fight back?

“Bold!” Yu Canglin had a grim look, exerting great pressure. Staring at Lin Xun with cold eyes, he almost failed to conceal his homicidal intent.

Were it other ordinary 13-or-14-year-old lads, they would probably have been scared out of their wits. But Lin Xun was not afraid at all.

What was more, he looked steadily at Yu Canglin, with his air bearing no trace of weakness. Unflinching, he said, “Bold? Well said! May I ask this president of Donglin School what am I guilty of?”

What was he guilty of?

All the people present felt ridiculous. The brat had just admitted it. Was he the hell going to go back on his words? So outrageous!

Before Yu Canglin opened his mouth, Lin Xun continued, “I admit I am the leader of Shuangmu Gang. But who of you have ever seen me bully the innocent people? Or who has seen me do evil?”

“No!”

Lin Xun stepped forward and said in an impassioned voice, “On the contrary, since I set up the Shuangmu Gang, I have already restrained my subordinates from doing dirty things. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the Civilian Area for a check! And I vow that I will kill myself on the spot if there is anything inconsistent with what I have just said!”

The whole place was now dominated by silence. Many people were baffled and shocked by his potent words.

What an extremely appalling vow!

His vow might not take effect, but his calmness and outright acknowledgment of being the leader of Shuangmu Gang already made him sound convincing.

On the high platform, Yu Canglin’s face darkened. He realized that the brat had previously remained silent not because he gave up resistance, but because he was in preparation for a counter-attack right now!

However, before Yu Canglin was able to make a respond, Wu Chaoqun, patriarch of the Clan of Wu, couldn’t help shouting out, “It’s so ridiculous that a gang leader should intend to claim himself guiltless!”

Lin Xun looked towards Wu Chaoqun, showing no timidity. With a sneer, he said, “I presume you are the patriarch of the Clan of Wu. I would like to ask you who it was that had contacted Tiger Lyu and rallied hundreds of people to try to encircle and annihilate me in a night several days ago?”

It caused a sensation at once. Everyone felt it was beyond belief.

Lian Fei had already looked sullen, no longer complacent or cheerful. He had been aware that Lin Xun was planning to drag the Clan of Wu into the trouble. Once Lin made it, Lian Fei would also get involved in this!

At the thought of this, Lian Fei got anxious. How came that these big potatoes were still orally arguing with the brat? Why couldn’t they just directly take this kid down once and for all?

“Don’t worry. A mere verbal statement is no guarantee. Even if he does have a silver tongue, he won’t be able to escape from my father today!”
