Chapter 203
Hearing this question, Jian Shanhai's face turned pale instantly!
His body trembled slightly involuntarily, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
He never thought that Lu Chen would ask this core question so sharply and directly.
The dark thoughts hidden in the deepest part of his heart were completely exposed to everyone.
Before, he reserved his strength and did not take action, at most he was criticized for wanting to take credit!
But Lu Chen raised this question, the meaning is completely different!
Lu Chen is the savior who saved Jiancheng! He is a hero!
And the question he raised, although he did deliberately guide everyone.
But it is far less serious than what Lu Chen said!
Now, Lu Chen is the one who can guide the direction of public opinion!
His question will make everyone think that he led everyone to blame Lu Chen for Jian Shanchuan's death!
This is slandering a hero!
To put it seriously, Jian Shanhai's behavior is no different from a spy!
That's treason!
At this moment, Jian Shanhai felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes and stood naked in front of everyone, with nothing to hide.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to defend himself, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
His brain was working fast, trying to find a reasonable explanation, a statement that could save the situation.
But under Lu Chen's burning eyes and the angry gazes of everyone, his mind became confused.
"I... I..."
Jian Shanhai stuttered, and cold sweat fell from his forehead like rain.
He knew that if he didn't answer this question well.
He would completely lose everything in Jiancheng!
Now someone has questioned him!
"Brother Lu Chen, you really misunderstood me."
Jian Shanhai finally managed to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty, his voice trembling slightly,
"I am heartbroken by Jian Shanchuan's death. I was just too emotional at the time and my words were a little inappropriate. I definitely didn't mean what you said."
"How could I slander our hero? My loyalty to Jian Cheng and my feelings for everyone are witnessed by heaven and earth!"
Jian Shanhai tried to defend himself with a sincere tone, and there was a trace of pleading in his eyes, hoping that everyone would believe him.
But his explanation was so pale and powerless.
The crowd didn't buy it.
"Jian Shanhai, stop quibbling! We are not fools, we have seen everything you did!"
An awakened person shouted loudly, his face full of anger.
"You are just for your own selfish interests, and you don't hesitate to discredit Lu Chen. How can someone like you be worthy of being our city lord!"
These awakened people used to be Jian Shanhai's fans and his firm supporters.
In the past years, they had admired and trusted Jian Shanhai, and regarded him as the guardian and leader of Jiancheng.
They followed his footsteps, obeyed his command, and contributed their own strength to the construction and development of Jiancheng under the leadership of Jian Shanhai.
Under the call of Jian Shanhai, they actively participated in various trainings and tasks, and worked hard to improve the strength of Jiancheng.
They believed in Jian Shanhai's decision-making and believed that every arrangement he made was for the future of Jiancheng.
When faced with difficulties and challenges, they always stood behind Jian Shanhai without hesitation and gave him full support.
However, the current situation has changed dramatically.
Lu Chen only used three questions to make all the truth surface!
When they saw Jian Shanhai's selfish behavior and the dark thoughts behind it, their faith began to collapse.
The admiration and trust they once had disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep disappointment and anger.
They were no longer silent, and they all spoke sharp swords to Jian Shanhai.
The support they once had for him now turned into sharp accusations, and every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing straight at Jian Shanhai.
"Jian Shanhai, we once trusted you so much, but you treated us like this!"
"You sacrificed our trust for your own power and status, you disappoint us so much!"
"Selfish! Slandering heroes! You are a shame to Jiancheng! You are a shame to China!"
"You are not worthy of being Jian Shanchuan's brother!"
Jian Shanhai listened to these accusations like a knife, his body suddenly stiffened, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
The original pleading in his eyes was gradually replaced by a kind of despair and anger.
"You...how can you say that to me!"
Jian Shanhai finally couldn't help but yelled loudly.
"I have paid so much for Jiancheng! Have you all forgotten? How many people have I led to resist?This crisis, I was so worried about the development of Jiancheng!"
"Just because of this incident, are you going to deny me completely?"
There was a bit of hysteria in his voice, trying to save some face for himself.
"Sacrifice? You call that sacrifice? At the critical moment, you saved your strength and watched the deputy city lord Jian Shanchuan sacrifice. You call that sacrifice?"
An awakener retorted bluntly.
Jian Shanhai's eyes flickered, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I was thinking about the overall situation! I want to make sure that Jiancheng has enough strength to deal with subsequent crises. If I acted rashly at that time, what if a stronger enemy appeared? I was thinking about the future of the entire Jiancheng!"
"Humph, for the future of Jiancheng? You are just thinking about your own position as the city lord! "
Someone else snorted.
Now, no one trusts Jian Shanhai anymore!
Jian Shanhai's face became even darker, he clenched his fists and said:
"Well, since you all don't understand me, then I have nothing to say. But I, Jian Shanhai, have a clear conscience! Everything I did was for Jiancheng, for China!"
His eyes swept through the crowd fiercely, and then looked at Lu Chen, his eyes full of resentment:
"Lu Chen, don't think you can knock me down like this. My Jian Shanhai's foundation in Jiancheng is not so easy for you to shake. I won't let today's matter go! "
Now, the situation has developed to an irreversible point, and it can be said that the relationship between him and Lu Chen, which once seemed peaceful, is now like a broken mirror.
It is a complete enmity, and there is no possibility of repair.
So, in this desperate situation, Jian Shanhai made the final decision.
An extremely risky but self-righteous decision.
He deliberately angered Lu Chen and wanted to lure Lu Chen to attack him.
Now is a special period. The flame tribe invaded Blue Star like a surging tide, and the whole world fell into a In dire straits.
At this critical moment, every bit of fighting power seems extremely precious and may become a key factor in determining victory or defeat.
Even though his reputation in Jiancheng is extremely poor now.
But it is undeniable that he is still one of the indispensable and important fighting forces in China.
If Lu Chen can't help but want to take action at this critical moment, then everything will be reversed in an instant!
This is undoubtedly a gamble for Jian Shanhai.
If it succeeds, Lu Chen will take action on himself, then all the situations that were not favorable to him just now will happen. A radical change.
Lu Chen will instantly change from a hero admired by everyone to a young man who ignores the overall situation for the sake of his own pride.
And Jian Shanhai himself will suddenly change into a man of great righteousness who is willing to sacrifice his relatives for the sake of the overall situation.
He seemed to have seen the scene of himself regaining the upper hand in public opinion and controlling the situation in Jiancheng again.
What if he fails?
Jian Shanhai also secretly calculated in his heart.
In fact, this is already the worst situation. What if he fails?
Of course, the premise of all this is——
Jian Shanhai firmly believed that his life would not be in danger.
He was the heir of the Jian family, the descendant of Jian Yi, and his family had infinite heritage!
There were countless life-saving methods passed down from generation to generation, enough to keep him alive in any dangerous situation.
It can be said that this decision is a win-win for Jian Shanhai now.
Only benefits!
Jian Shanhai turned around and pretended to leave in a casual manner.
But his lips trembled slightly without others noticing, and he kept muttering:
"Go, Lu Chen!"
"Go! Lu Chen!"
"Go! Lu Chen!!"
