Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1711: Distorting the Truth

"That’s right, you murderer, no matter how much you try to sugar-coat your words, you can’t cover up the fact that you killed someone!"

Tang Yuxin glared fiercely at Zhong Siquan, gritting her teeth as she spoke coldly.

"Oh, really? Then tell me, how did I kill the two of them? Especially Chen Feng, who could even scare off the Fierce Beast; how did I manage to kill him?"

Zhong Siquan replied with a cold smile.

"Humph, you used the cliff to kill them. It’s you who caused Lin Mengyao to fall off the cliff, and then Chen Feng jumped after her to save her. Their deaths are all connected to you!"

Tang Yuxin snorted coldly, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

"Wait a minute, just wait. You say Lin Mengyao fell off the cliff. Please tell everyone, did I personally push her off?"

Zhong Siquan’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he spoke with a cold laugh.

"This..."

Tang Yuxin’s face changed, and she quickly looked at everyone and explained, "Although Yaoyao wasn’t directly pushed off by Zhong Siquan, it was still related to him. At the time, Zhong Siquan dropped Yaoyao’s most cherished photograph off the cliff, and Yaoyao fell trying to catch it!"

"Wait, hold on. You say Lin Mengyao accidentally fell off the cliff trying to catch a photograph, but really, would a single photograph be worth Lin Mengyao risking her life for? Do you think it’s possible to stake her life just for a photograph?"

Zhong Siquan inquired with a cold smile.

Then, he turned back to the people present and asked, "Do you believe this?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Because they didn’t understand the importance of the photograph to Lin Mengyao.

So naturally, they couldn’t comprehend such behavior.

To them, no one would be foolish enough to risk their life for a photograph.

"You see, no one believes you, so what you’re saying isn’t credible. Even if you insist on blaming Lin Mengyao’s death on me, at least come up with a reason that people might believe, will you? Do you think everyone is as foolish as you?"

Zhong Siquan said with a cold laugh.

"Zhong Siquan, you liar, that photograph was extremely important to Yaoyao; it was a picture of her with her father! That’s why she went out of her way to catch it!"

Tang Yuxin’s face changed, and she quickly explained.

"Even if it was a family portrait, is it worth risking your life for? Don’t you think that’s completely unreasonable?"

Zhong Siquan replied with a cold smile.

Everyone shook their heads, clearly not believing Tang Yuxin’s words.

This made Tang Yuxin anxious, glaring fiercely at Zhong Siquan, angrily saying, "Zhong Siquan, you’re a complete jerk. Why don’t you dare to tell the truth in front of everyone!"

"I’m saying the truth, aren’t I? Is there a single lie?"

Zhong Siquan questioned disdainfully.

"You... you... you’re shameless, you’re despicable!"

Tang Yuxin shouted angrily.

"Tsk tsk, Yuxin, we’re all old classmates, and you’re really out of line. You said you’d tell everyone the truth, I gave you the chance, and you still just slander me. What does that mean?"

Zhong Siquan’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

"I’m not slandering you; everything I say is the truth. Lin Mengyao died because of you, Chen Feng also died because of you! You’re the murderer!"

Tang Yuxin bit her teeth in anger.

"Alright, you keep calling me a murderer yet have no evidence. How do you expect anyone to believe you?"

Zhong Siquan looked at Tang Yuxin with disdain before turning towards everyone else, smiling as he said, "Next, let me tell you what really happened back then!"

Everyone nodded in response.

Seeing this.

Zhong Siquan’s lips curled up slightly, and he slowly spoke,

"This matter starts from yesterday. Actually, at the time, I wanted to reconcile with Lin Mengyao and her group. After all, we were all old classmates, and trapped on this deserted island, we needed to rely on each other, so I went over personally to invite Lin Mengyao and the others back."

"I initially thought that visiting them personally would result in the cold shoulder, but unexpectedly, Lin Mengyao and the others agreed rather happily. I didn’t think much of it at the time; I just thought it was the deep bond of classmates, so I let my guard down."

"We chatted in the cave for a while, and then Chen Feng suddenly suggested we go out for a walk. I didn’t think much of it and agreed!"

"When we left the cave, Lin Mengyao and I were talking as we walked ahead, with Chen Feng and Tang Yuxin following behind us. We ended up reaching a cliff, and that’s when Lin Mengyao insisted on talking by the cliff’s edge. I didn’t think much, since we were all classmates, they surely wouldn’t harm me."

"Unexpectedly, as Lin Mengyao and I reached the cliff’s edge, I felt someone running up behind me. I reacted quickly and turned to see Chen Feng charging at me, ready to push me off the cliff."

"It frightened me terribly, and instinctively I dodged to the side. Chen Feng probably didn’t expect me to move, and he was running too fast to stop, accidentally pushing Lin Mengyao off the cliff with him. Unable to stop himself, he also fell. That’s the truth of what happened!"

After hearing Zhong Siquan’s words.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, clearly shocked.

"Zhong Siquan, you’re lying; that’s not what happened. You’re distorting the facts!"

Tang Yuxin glared intensely at Zhong Siquan, gritting her teeth and scolding.

However.

Zhong Siquan seemed unaffected by her words, continuing to address everyone else, "Aren’t you curious about why Chen Feng and Lin Mengyao wanted to kill me?"

Everyone quickly nodded.

"At that time, I was also curious, but after coming back, I quickly figured it out..."

He paused briefly, took a deep breath, and continued, "It’s because of food!"

"Food?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"That’s right, it’s because of food. Think about it; they set out on their own and lacked food. So their plan was to kill me, then use Chen Feng’s strength to rule you all."

"That way, they could indirectly gain all of our food. Their idea was so despicable, so inhumane, as their old classmate, I’m truly heartbroken!"

"Before I went to find them, I even considered bringing them some food, worrying that they might be starving outside. But them? They wanted to kill me; people are truly wicked!"

Zhong Siquan feigned an extremely pained expression, his eyes red as he spoke.
