My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2034: Unable to Bear the Responsibility

Now thrown into the eye of the storm of public opinion, with his position on the brink of collapse and forced to step down at any moment, it truly is a brilliant scheme.

"Alas, but sacrificing those innocent students is truly heartbreaking." She sighed softly, feigning a sorrowful and compassionate expression.

Standing silently by her side, Wubai slightly lowered his gaze, his handsome features appearing exceptionally indifferent. In his heart, he couldn’t help but mock, rulers are heartless—how could they truly care about such human lives? To those in power, those bones and flesh as well as the various cruel sacrifices are nothing but the foundation stones upon which their ambitions are built. Who would remember, who would care about those innocent people!

At this thought, a hint of pain flashed deep in his eyes.

"The Queen is merciful, but for the grand future of this country and to eliminate treacherous officials, these sacrifices are unavoidable. However, their sacrifices will not be in vain; to be able to contribute to the Queen’s great achievements, they must feel no regret in death," Governor Yun spoke insincerely. Surely the Queen wouldn’t be saddened, but she had to go through the motions for appearances’ sake; otherwise, it would be too improper. He knew well how to cater to the Queen’s preferences, naturally giving her an out. "Besides, most of the remaining students at the school are children of Councilman Helian’s supporters. Since they support the traitors, they deserved it."

The Queen looked at Governor Yun with satisfaction. This governor, having come from a business background, was indeed a smooth and clever person, and his words were pleasing to hear.

But suddenly, Wubai spoke up: "However, although this incident has severely damaged Halian Jing’s reputation and prestige, Councilman Helian has always been known for his formidable reputation and has always been difficult to deal with. We’ve been launching a strong offensive through public opinion, yet he still hasn’t held a press conference to explain himself or try to restore his image. This is somewhat peculiar. We don’t know if he’s planning some kind of counterattack behind the scenes. We should focus on monitoring their every move, just in case."

The Queen nodded worriedly. Even though they had won a battle, she was still inevitably concerned, having fought for so many years.

She knew all too well how formidable this adversary, Halian Jing, was. This time, they had struck his vital point; had it been anyone else, they might have lost their life by now. But Halian Jing, this old serpent, might not yet be mortally wounded.

Governor Yun felt dissatisfied when Wubai started talking and stole the Queen’s attention. This entire plan was his idea, winning a great battle for the Queen. This Wubai hadn’t done anything other than strolling around at the school, and now he wanted to grab the limelight and credit? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He scoffed disdainfully: "You’re overthinking it. Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry. Currently, public opinion is overwhelming like thousands of arrows aimed at Halian Jing. He’s probably already in dire straits, in a state of panic. Although he may want to hold a press conference now, what can he explain? Those video evidences are right in front of him. It’s not something he can deny with a few casual statements. They’re probably racing against time to devise strategies to calm this public opinion storm. Right now, we should focus all our efforts and resources on this public opinion war to completely crush him."

He glanced at Wubai with disdain, his eyes showing a hint of arrogance.

"If we now shift our strength elsewhere, it would be a wasted golden opportunity. We should take this chance to defeat Halian Jing without bloodshed and quietly regain the power. If we miss this opportunity, I’m afraid you as a foreigner won’t be able to bear the consequences."
