Chapter 200
Many people had a little doubt in their hearts.
What Jian Shanhai said made sense.
If... Lu Chen came earlier.
Wouldn't Jian Shanchuan have died?
This little doubt was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in everyone's hearts.
Some people began to whisper to each other and discuss this possibility in a low voice.
"If Lu Chen had come earlier, maybe Deputy City Lord Jian could have survived."
"Alas, this can't be blamed on Lu Chen. He has appeared in time and saved our Jian City."
"That being said, if he could have been faster..."
Under Jian Shanhai's deliberate guidance, the thoughts of the people in Jian City began to move closer to his expected direction.
Jian Shanhai consciously blamed Lu Chen for Jian Shanchuan's death.
However, some more rational people began to think about the unreasonableness of it.
"It's not easy for Lu Chen to solve so many demon kings in such a short time. We can't ask him to come earlier."
"Yes, the sacrifice of Deputy City Lord Jian is tragic, but it can't be blamed on Lu Chen."
Gradually, some different voices appeared.
Once two different voices appeared, there would be disputes.
"Lu Chen is so powerful, doesn't he know that Jiancheng is the most important city in China? Why didn't he come here earlier!"
"What a joke, is it wrong for Lu Chen to save us? He must have something!"
"Is there anything more important than Jiancheng?"
In the process of arguing, the two parties will gradually get excited in the process of bickering.
In the process of arguing, they will subconsciously want to refute each other, thus ignoring whether their own views are correct.
In this way, some people really firmly believe.
Jian Shanchuan's death is entirely due to Lu Chen!
If he had come earlier, Jian Shanchuan would not have died!
All this is the result that Jian Shanhai wants to see.
At this time, he stood up, frowned, and said hypocritically:
"Everyone stop arguing! I know everyone is sad about Jian Cheng's experience and Jian Shanchuan's departure, but we can't have internal conflicts and disagreements because of this."
"Brother Lu Chen has indeed made great contributions to our Jian Cheng, which is undeniable."
"However, Jian Shanchuan's sacrifice is also an eternal pain in our hearts."
"I mentioned this not to blame Brother Lu Chen"
"I just hope that we can learn lessons from this incident and act more promptly when facing similar crises in the future. "We are all part of Jiancheng, and we should unite and work together for the future of Jiancheng." "Brother Lu Chen is not from Jiancheng after all, so it is normal that he cannot arrive at the first time!" "But it is a great favor for him to arrive here!" "So, let's stop arguing, let's remember Jian Shanchuan together, thank Brother Lu Chen, and then work together to look forward and build a better Jiancheng." Jian Shanhai's words, which seemed fair and reasonable and took the overall situation into consideration, were actually scheming. On the surface, he was reconciling the contradictions, but in fact, he further deepened people's misunderstanding of Lu Chen. In this way, he showed his generosity and rationality in front of everyone. He also successfully directed some people's grief over Jian Shanchuan's death to Lu Chen. This weakened Lu Chen's position in the hearts of Jiancheng people to a certain extent and consolidated his influence. In addition, his words "Lu Chen is not from Jiancheng after all." It seems to be explaining for Lu Chen, but in fact it is secretly pointing out that Lu Chen and Jian Cheng are not one and the same!
And those who were instigated by him, driven by emotions, found it difficult to detect his true intentions. They all felt that Jian Shanhai was right and believed him more.
"Sure enough, it is the City Lord Jian who cares about us the most!"
"Yes! The scene of him fighting on the front line is still deeply imprinted in my mind at this moment!"
"Anyway, Lu Chen is from Jiangcheng after all. He can't empathize with us! He can't put the safety of Jiancheng first!"
"We appreciate his contribution, but only Jian Shanhai is the real leader of Jiancheng!"
For these voices and what Jian Shanhai did.
Lu Chen sneered.
There was a hint of disdain and ridicule in his cold eyes.
He has never had a good impression of Jian Shanhai.
From the first time he met Jian Shanhai, Lu Chen keenly noticed his extreme desire and persistence for power.
The aura of treating power as everything made Lu Chen feel uncomfortable.
And what he did was beyond belief.Whether in the Vatican at that time or in Jiancheng now, it has been confirmed that Lu Chen's impression of him is too correct!
When in the Vatican, Jian Shanhai's righteous words on the surface were actually for the power in his hands.
And now in Jiancheng, what he did was to consolidate his position in Jiancheng!
On the surface, he said high-sounding words, but in fact, he secretly manipulated people's emotions and thoughts behind the scenes.
He tried to take all the credit for himself, and even did not hesitate to discredit Lu Chen.
"Old man, you have really been away from the world for too long..."
"Dare to mess with my head!"
Lu Chen is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone. He is extremely disgusted with Jian Shanhai's despicable behavior in secret.
He has always liked open and aboveboard battles and competitions.
And these little actions of Jian Shanhai seem so despicable and ridiculous to him.
Lu Chen admitted that he is not a saint with high moral character.
His main purpose of going to the space crack to kill the God of War-level BOSS was to improve himself.
This is a manifestation of his deep pursuit of power.
However, his contribution is real and indelible.
His feat of single-handedly killing a group of demon kings is undoubtedly the key to saving Jiancheng from the water and fire.
At least it is countless times more noble than Jian Shanhai, a villain who only knows how to fight internally!
In times of crisis, Jian Shanhai is not thinking about how to fight against foreign enemies with all his strength, but how to maintain his position!
How to compete for credit and reputation after the war, this behavior is in sharp contrast to Lu Chen's courage and responsibility.
Originally, Lu Chen didn't care about the false name of "hero".
It's just a false name, and it can't give him any substantial help.
Only when more people blame him can he provide more resentment points.
This is more in line with Lu Chen's interests.
But!
Seeing Jian Shanhai achieve his goal made Lu Chen feel very unhappy!
Lu Chen could have said he didn't care about these opinions.
But now.
Lu Chen raised a smile.
He wanted to slap Jian Shanhai, the shameless politician, in the face!
