Chapter 1622: The Truth
Crunch —
They heard the sound of someone stepping on the leaves.
“Who’s there?!”
The two crouching girls abruptly turned their heads.
“Ahhh —”
Their eyes widened in astonishment when they saw who it was.
Because it was none other than the person they had been talking about — Feng Wu!
Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu sprang up and shrieked in terror.
Feng Wu had a calm look in her eyes and a half-smile on her face. Her eyes were like bottomless pits.
“You, you —”
Jun Wuxia pointed at Feng Wu. “When did you arrive? What are you doing here?!”
Feng Wu smirked. “Didn’t the two of you come here five minutes ago?”
That was to say, Feng Wu had arrived before they did!
Which meant that she had heard everything they said!
“You —” Jun Wuxia glared at Feng Wu. “So you heard it all. So what? Everyone is already convinced that you’re a heartless person!”
Feng Wu had a cold look in her eyes. “What if your conversation gets out?”
“Hahaha —”
Jun Wuxia laughed out loud. “Feng Wu, how naive can you be?! Do you not know how much people dislike you now?
“Do you think any of them will believe you?
“Plus, do you have any evidence?!
“So, Feng Wu, how dumb are you to believe that you can threaten us with this?!”
Although they had been caught red-handed, Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu remained very arrogant.
Feng Wu narrowed her eyes and looked unperturbed.
It was true; she had been very nervous when she heard the news at first, but she soon realized that according to that man from the night before, Chaoge’s life wasn’t in immediate danger, so the body couldn’t be hers.
But if the man in black hadn’t put it there, who did?
Feng Wu had been studying all the faces earlier.
When the other people were accusing her of being heartless, she had looked at all their faces. From the subtle expressions, she was able to guess their thoughts.
Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu were so pleased that they couldn’t hide their excitement. Therefore, they were her top suspects.
She was right. As soon as Feng Wu walked away, they couldn’t help but reveal the truth.
Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu exchanged satisfied smiles.
“So what if you caught us? What proof do you have?!”
But at that moment, they heard voices from the reeds.
“Heh, either way, public opinion is against her now.”
“That’s right. I didn’t expect it to be so easy to smear her name. I thought it would be a lot harder.”
“Heh, all humans have their weaknesses, and Feng Wu’s is that she’s too proud to explain herself.”
“We took advantage of Duan Chaoge’s disappearance and found a body in the water, but I didn’t expect it to work so well.”
–
One voice belonged to Jun Wuxia, and the other belonged to Zuo Qingyu.
They sounded as real as a record, down to the breathing and pauses!
Jun Wuxia and Zuo Qingyu froze on the spot!
“You —”
Jun Wuxia stared at Feng Wu so hard that her eyes popped out.
She glared at Feng Wu. “You… What did you do?!”
