Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1712: They’re All Lying

As the conversation went on.

Zhong Siquan broke down and cried bitterly, looking as sorrowful as possible.

It must be said, his acting skills are truly superb.

Everyone who had been suspicious of Zhong Siquan suddenly found themselves believing him.

Some even cast sympathetic glances towards Zhong Siquan.

But their gazes towards Tang Yuxin turned extremely unfriendly.

After all, in their eyes, Tang Yuxin was with Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao.

And Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao were plotting to kill Zhong Siquan and take control of the entire camp.

Surely, Tang Yuxin was aware of this plan.

Therefore at this moment.

They all deemed Tang Yuxin an enemy.

Feeling the hostility in their eyes.

Tang Yuxin’s face changed instantly, hurriedly saying, "Don’t listen to Zhong Siquan’s nonsense, none of what he said is true. Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao never plotted to murder Zhong Siquan and seize your food."

"Because we couldn’t even finish the food Chen Feng himself had, so why would we need to steal yours? Instead, it was Zhong Siquan who sent people twice to move all the food from Chen Feng’s cave and claim it for himself. Don’t just believe his one-sided story!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, turning their heads to look at Zhong Siquan.

Seeing this.

Zhong Siquan did not show a trace of panic and calmly said, "Don’t listen to her nonsense. When we first met Chen Feng, everyone saw how miserable he looked. How could someone like him have enough food? Instead, I heard he tried to steal our food several times; I even have witnesses for that!"

After speaking.

Zhong Siquan directly turned to Li Dagang, saying, "Dagang, tell everyone, did Chen Feng take your food?"

"That’s right!"

Li Dagang immediately stepped forward, looking at everyone and saying:

"Just a few days ago, Young Master Zhong sent me to find a way off the island. Because I was away from camp for a while, I carried two days’ worth of rations. But midway, I met Chen Feng, who looked extremely hungry, so I tried to give him some of my biscuits."

"Unexpectedly, he used his strength to seize all my rations, leaving me with nothing and unable to complete my mission. If Chen Feng hadn’t taken my rations, I might have already found a way off the island. It’s all Chen Feng’s fault; he’s truly a scoundrel!"

Li Dagang’s words were entirely fabricated.

He left the camp solely because Zhong Siquan sent him to spy on Chen Feng.

Yet he twisted it into searching for a way off the island.

This way, he could shift all blame onto Chen Feng.

Of course, this was all taught by Zhong Siquan.

Just to make the group resent Chen Feng and hence follow him more obediently.

Since Chen Feng was already dead, no one knew the truth no matter how he smeared him.

It must be said, Zhong Siquan’s tactic was ruthless.

Sure enough.

After hearing Li Dagang’s words, anger flashed in everyone’s eyes.

Because they thought, if not for Chen Feng’s greed, taking all Li Dagang’s rations.

Perhaps Li Dagang might have found the way, and they could have left the island by now.

But now, they’re still trapped here, all thanks to Chen Feng.

This made their hatred for Chen Feng grow to the extreme.

Zhong Siquan and Li Dagang exchanged a glance, both revealing a satisfied smile.

"It’s not true, you’re lying, you’re all lying, that’s not how it really happened!"

Tang Yuxin said, her face pale.

She now felt a deep sense of helplessness.

No matter how she tried to explain, nobody believed her anymore.

Because Zhong Siquan had already fueled their resentment towards Chen Feng.

So no matter what she said now, they’d think she’s trying to clear Chen Feng’s name.

"Not true? Then tell me, how is it really? Can you honestly say Chen Feng never took our food?"

Li Dagang glared at Tang Yuxin, sneering as he questioned.

He then turned directly to the crowd, calling out, "Those of you, come on out!"

Immediately, six guys who had helped him steal from the cave stepped forward.

These guys, loyal to Zhong Siquan, were naturally inclined to support him.

The crowd looked at the six guys, uncertain of their intentions.

Then.

Li Dagang addressed the crowd, continuing, "After our first failed attempt to find a route, Young Master Zhong sent these six to assist in seeking a way off the island, and each of us was given three days’ rations to ensure success."

"But very unfortunately, we ran into Chen Feng again midway. That Demon! His greed grew, and he demanded we hand over all our food, or he’d kill us all!"

"You all know how formidable Chen Feng is; the seven of us combined couldn’t match him. For survival, we had no choice but to hand over our food, failing the mission once again! If you doubt me, ask these six!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone turned to look at the six guys.

The six guys, of course, sided with Zhong Siquan.

They immediately nodded, speaking one after another:

"Chen Feng truly is an insatiable Demon; he forced us to surrender all our rations with violence!"

"Indeed, all of our rations were seized by him. If I’m lying, may I never leave this island!"

"I testify that he indeed confiscated all our food!"

...

As soon as the six spoke.

Everyone’s anger grew even more intense.

If Zhong Siquan was lying.

And Li Dagang, as Zhong Siquan’s lackey, would also lie to support him.

Then these six wouldn’t be lying, would they?

And now, they all claimed Chen Feng was greedy, stealing their food.

Which proved, Chen Feng truly was a villain!

Instantly, the group’s resentment towards Chen Feng deepened further.

Zhong Siquan saw this, nodding coldly with a smirk.

Clearly, he had achieved his goal.

"You’re all lying, clearly it was you who stole our food and got caught by Chen Feng, who then confiscated your food. You’re falsely accusing Chen Feng!"

Tang Yuxin glared at the six guys, shouting coldly.
