C38 Slandering

Soong Lili's words shocked the entire audience.

"That's right, an ordinary commoner brat, where did he get such a treasure? Maybe he stole it from somewhere!"

Those rich second generations who had been overshadowed all spoke up. They could not bear to see a commoner like Wu Chen above them.

"Using a stolen treasure as a birthday present to someone else. He's really bold!"

"No, it should be said that he is shameless. Sure enough, a commoner is a commoner, he can actually be shameless to such an extent!" Someone sneered.

Regardless of whether or not Wu Chen had stolen this item, wasn't a commoner still at their mercy? When the time came, all they had to do was find someone who didn't exist and say that the Jade Star belonged to their family. They would be able to nail the case to the ground.

At that time, the Jade Star would be in his pocket.

These people sneered and sighed. The Lin family had really married a good wife. Even a treasure like the Jade Star had to be given away.

Lin Tianxing's face was also gloomy as he stared at Soong Lili.

Soong Lili's family was the Song Group, the second largest group in Lincheng, second only to his Lin family. His marriage to Soong Lili was only a business alliance.

He didn't know if the Song Group was behind this.

Lin Jiajia was so scared that her face turned pale. How could Wu Chen be a thief?! She did not know why her mother would say such hurtful words, nor did she understand why there was such a reversal in the situation.

Wu Chen, on the other hand, remained calm. With a treasure like the Flying Pill, no one would be able to stop him if he wanted to leave. Furthermore, there was still the great god Zhou Yunloong, so he did not need to leave.

Sure enough, seeing that Wu Chen was being denounced by everyone, Zhou Yunloong stood out and said in a clear voice, "You guys said that Brother Wu Chen is a thief, but do you have any evidence? Could it be that you want to take the Jade Heart for yourself? But my brother gave the Jade Star to the Lin family. You should go to the Lin family and ask for it."

Zhou Yunloong did indeed come from the Zhou family. Even if he was just a branch family member, he still knew the measurement of the so-called "upper class."

"Humph, since you and Wu Chen call each other brothers, could it be that you are also his helper?" Liu Ming from the crowd mocked. It was the person who gave Jennifer a special bracelet. He was the second young master of the Liu Corporation.

When Zhou Yunloong told them the truth, it was equivalent to scolding them for being shameless. It was no different from offending everyone present.

Although Zhou Yunloong was the boss of the Black Dragon Gang, the Black Dragon Gang had just been established not long ago, so most of these people did not know him. Seeing that he was with a commoner like Wu Chen, they thought that he probably came from a commoner background, so they naturally did not mind stepping on him.

"Hehe, I've been keeping an eye on you." Green Hair said with a sinister smile, "How dare you say that the boss of our Black Dragon Gang is also a thief? You're dead for sure!"

Being stared at by Green Hair, Liu Ming could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. However, when he heard Green Hair say that he was a member of the Black Dragon Gang, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.

"Black, Black Dragon Gang!" Liu Ming, who was sitting on the ground, screamed in disbelief when he saw Zhou Yunloong.

In order to eliminate the remnants of the Black Tiger Gang these past few days, the Black Dragon Gang had been ruthless and massacring many people. Many people had died, but because it was a vendetta against the Black Tiger Gang, even the police did not care. In just a few days, they had swallowed the Black Tiger Gang and integrated more than half of the criminal gangs in Lincheng.

Furthermore, there were rumors that the Black Dragon Gang had great figures in the capital. They had a deep foundation and could not be provoked!

And he was just an ordinary rich second generation in Lincheng. If he provoked the Black Dragon Gang, his father wouldn't be able to protect him!

Seeing that, Zhou Yunloong waved the cigarette in his hand and said, "Alright, Green Hair, don't scare him anymore. Our Black Dragon Gang is not such a tyrannical person. We will only destroy his family and not let him die."

This sentence, however, sent a chill down the spines of the crowd. It was not enough to deal with Liu Ming alone;

"How can a person like Mr Loong be a thief? This Liu Ming must be blind. I think Wu Chen is definitely the true owner of the Jade Star!" A young man beside Liu Ming was drenched in cold sweat as he quickly shouted.

"Zhang Hui, you!" Liu Ming, who was on the ground, once again revealed a look of disbelief. This Zhang Hui was his best brother in the past. Eating, drinking, gambling, taking drugs to pick up girls, they were together in all of them.

"You what you, I don't know you!" Zhang Hui turned around with a ferocious expression on his face. Zhou Yunloong's actions frightened him. He was afraid that if he did not cut ties with Liu Ming, this matter would involve him!

Zhou Yunloong looked at the farce and shook his head with a smile.

Lincheng was just a second-rate city. There weren't even any ancient martial arts families. Back then, two disciples from Wudang Mountain could make a lot of money here, not to mention that he was now a member of the main branch of the Zhou family.

Every year, he brought many benefits to the Zhou family. Now that he had the power to speak on the main branch of the Zhou family, he had the strength to not care about the status of the people present.

"That's why I said Brother Wu Chen is innocent. Is there anyone else who wants to oppose me?" Zhou Yunloong said lightly.

The situation on the stage quickly reversed once again.

No one would have thought that the dignified boss of the Black Dragon Gang would actually stand up for Wu Chen, and since Wu Chen was able to take out the Jade Star, was he really just an ordinary person?

Soong Fei gritted his teeth and called for his assistant. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, but he still said, "Stop the investigation first. We'll talk about it later."

Zhou Yunloong was now standing up for Wu Chen in public. If he were to investigate Wu Chen again, it would be like slapping Zhou Yunloong in the face again. Although he sometimes went a little crazy, he could still consider the big picture if he could be considered as the successor of the Song Group.

"I told you Wu Chen wasn't that kind of person!" Lin Jiajia's face was still pale, but she heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Wu Chen did not like to study, Lin Jiajia had always believed in his character.

"Since Sect Master Zhou has spoken, then it's obvious that I made a mistake." Soong Lili's face was even paler than Lin Jia's.

Although Lin's Group was a top group in Lincheng, in the end, it was just a businessman. How could it fight against the local mafia boss?

"Haha, I'm really sorry. Today is my daughter's birthday, but I let you see a farce of the Lin family. I'll give you a gift as compensation later." Lin Tianxing walked out with a smile and instructed Lin Jiajia, "Daughter, why aren't you cutting a piece of cake for Wu Chen? He gave you a treasure like the Jade Star."

"That's right, that's right. I've long since seen that Wu Chen is extraordinary. To be able to remain calm at such a young age, his future is definitely limitless." Those who had just said that the Jade Star was stolen all went forward to flatter him.

They did not know if Wu Chen had remembered them or not. If Wu Chen went to talk to Zhou Yunloong, they would be in trouble.

Wu Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry when he felt everyone's compliments. These people had just called him a thief.

This was the first time he truly realized that a person could actually be so shameless, and that strength was actually so important.
