Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 678 - 379: Brother Min, Start Your Performance 2

King Jingyao looked at these people, then nodded. "You’re right. I’ve also received word that she is the legendary ’Boundless,’ a killer so ruthless she never bats an eye." At his every word, the nobles quivered. They had witnessed such cold-blooded killing before.

Mommy, so scary!

As the room fell silent, King Jingyao barked, "Chen Ming, why haven’t you tied her up yet?"

Chen Ming felt as if he were dreaming. How did things take such a turn? Wasn’t I supposed to be discussing things with Mr. Wang? Shouldn’t Mr. Wang be protecting Gu Anxi? Why, instead, is she to be arrested?

Chen Ming scratched his head. "Mr. Wang, shouldn’t we examine the situation more closely?"

"Examine what?" King Jingyao thundered. "Didn’t you see what happened?"

Chen Ming didn’t dare to make a sound. After a long pause, he looked at Gu Anxi. "Then, I’m afraid I’ll have to offend you."

Gu Anxi sat there, her hand twitching slightly.

The nobles were terrified. She... she... she’s probably about to make a move again...

The next second, Gu Anxi took a piece of candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth. She glanced at the nobles. "What are you afraid of? I don’t have a gun."

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at Chen Ming. "Chen Ming, what are you waiting for?"

Chen Ming was in a difficult position, looking from one person to another.

The nobles couldn’t wait any longer. They stammered, their voices trembling, "Mr. Wang has given his orders! Why haven’t you acted yet?"

Chen Ming finally pulled out his gun.

Just then, Min Xin’s calm voice sounded, "What’s all this? What’s going on? Are we fighting amongst ourselves now?"

Everyone present was stunned. What’s going on? What does he mean, ’family’?

Min Xin tapped the desk, his voice still calm. "Gu Anxi is the agent I sent to infiltrate Dark. She has been by Bo Qing’s side all this time, under the identity of ’Boundless,’ to gather evidence. Bo Jingshen is Bo Qing’s number one confidant, and taking him down today was my decision."

He glanced at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan was visibly stunned for a moment but quickly recovered. He fetched a large stack of documents, placed them on the table, and said in a very grave tone, "Mr. Min has been planning this for a very long time. We finally managed to extract this Blood Worm, Bo Jingshen. Gu Anxi is not our enemy; on the contrary, she has risked her life for us many times. We should be protecting her, not harming her."

The nobles were dumbfounded. What kind of plot twist is this? Wasn’t Mr. Min the one who detested Gu Anxi the most? Wasn’t he extremely hostile towards her? Why is he speaking up for her now? This... this is all so confusing!

Chen Ming was also baffled. He scratched his head. "So, we don’t need to arrest her then, right?" He looked towards King Jingyao.

King Jingyao also looked completely lost. It took him a long moment to come to his senses before he clapped Min Xin heavily on the shoulder. Min Xin grimaced in pain for a good while before he managed to endure it.

The old king smiled broadly. "So that’s how it is! It seems this old brother of yours misunderstood my dear little sister." With that, he formally apologized, "I truly must apologize. It was your old brother here who wrongly accused you."

He then personally opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of the finest wine, and poured a small glass. "Alright, consider this my apology. You’re not allowed to hold a grudge against me in your heart, okay?"

Gu Anxi picked up the glass and rolled her eyes. "As if I would dare."

The old king laughed heartily. "Look at that! Still saying you don’t hold a grudge, yet it’s obvious you’re still angry." He looked at the nobles. "You all need to properly apologize to my little sister too. She’s so young and has worked so hard all these years, only to be wrongly accused by us like this. If it weren’t for Min Xin, she truly would have been grievously wronged."

The nobles were still in a daze, unable to comprehend this sudden shift.

The old king’s expression turned unpleasant. "It seems you all doubt Brother Min?"

Min Xin stepped forward, his demeanor one of stern righteousness. "Bo Qing’s intentions are utterly malicious! You all saw that projectile tonight. If it had landed on A Island, can you imagine the consequences? It was Little Gu who single-handedly averted a catastrophe. Does she not deserve an apology for this?"

The nobles were aghast. So it really was Little Gu who did it! She’s actually that powerful!

Their conviction began to waver. Min Xin was clearly siding with Mr. Wang now. With Bo Jingshen dead, the narrative could be spun any way. For now, they had to at least pretend to go along. So, one after another, they began to apologize.

Gu Anxi accepted their apologies magnanimously. "It’s alright. I’m used to being misunderstood." She swept her gaze over them and suddenly said, "However, whether your apologies are sincere or not, that I wouldn’t know."

The nobles immediately declared, "They are! Absolutely sincere!"

Gu Anxi glanced at Wang Jingchuan.

Wang Jingchuan blinked, then a mysterious smile touched his lips.

Damn it all, Miss Anxi really has her methods. I have to hand it to her!
