Wang Dadong shook his head. There was a misunderstanding between them and Rex, and as their mutual friend, he had to mediate. They were all good friends.

Rex's joke was indeed too much, but considering he only had five months to live, it was impossible to be angry with him.

"Xiangxiang, Arthur, Xiaoyu," Wang Dadong called out as he stepped forward.

Wang Yase disliked people who were blind to reason and not to look at him, so she simply turned her head away.

Ding Xiaoyu nodded to Wang Dadong without saying anything.

Xia Xiang acted as if nothing had happened, smiling, waving, and saying hello, but without the usual enthusiasm.

As a friend, she could understand that Wang Da Dong stood by his best friend, but as the leader of Class KO One, it was unfair for him to always favor the weaker side.

One cannot be a true leader based solely on emotions and intuition.

"I'm sorry, Xiangxiang, I apologize to you on behalf of Rex for what happened before," Wang Dadong said apologetically. "And Arthur, I'm really sorry."

"We're not even best buddies, so it doesn't matter," Xia Xiang said with a distant smile. "The main thing is that your best buddy, King Arthur, has been wronged too much."

“I, King Arthur, never doubt my brothers,” said King Arthur. “But regarding Rex, he must offer a more sincere apology.”

"I'm so sorry, Rex was also fooled about the video; he didn't know it was fake," Wang Dadong hurriedly explained.

The three of them exclaimed: "That brainless Wang Dadong actually believed it!"

“I understand you, Da Dong. If it were my friend committing murder or arson, I would first suspect that the other party had gone too far.”

"But you can't just blindly trust your friendship and ignore their behavior. What if your friend's actions contradict your moral principles? Would you trust your friend or uphold your principles?"

Xia Xiang remained calm throughout her speech, and regardless of whether Wang Dadong believed her or not, she could understand him.

Wang Dadong did not deny what Rex had done, but he used his preconceived notions about Rex to downplay the villainous role Rex played in these events, and made excuses for Rex.

Simply put, he doesn't feel pain unless the knife is stabbed into him.

“It was Rex who sent me to find you; he wants to apologize to you again,” Wang Dadong said, looking distressed.

We're all good friends, why make things so awkward?

Rex is nearing the end of his life, and he really hopes everyone can forgive him.

Rex was wrong to trust the video his subordinate provided. But Arthur's suspicion that Rex and Xia Xiang were following Rex together was also wrong!

Rex is currently suffering from an illness, and seeing Arthur rashly going to the Black Cat Hotel to take photos and record audio must have made him feel very bad, which is why he lost control of his emotions and said things he shouldn't have.

That's why when Arthur was certain he was KO.2, he just gave up and didn't bother to explain anymore.

He knew Rex's physical condition well; he would be out of breath after running just a couple of steps, let alone now that he was sick. How could he possibly be KO.2?

"Okay, I'll go see if his apology is sincere." Xia Xiang shook her head at Wang Yase, indicating that she shouldn't say anything more, as too much of a good thing can be bad.

"Dong-ge, something terrible has happened! Rex jumped off a building!" The students from Class 1-1 rushed over anxiously to find Wang Da-dong.

Wang Dadong panicked immediately and shouted, "How is he now?"

"The school doctor is still examining the students in the infirmary."

Wang Dadong teleported away instantly, leaving the classmate and Xia Xiang behind.

Wang Yase: "He's really ruthless to himself."

Ding Xiaoyu: "Is this your way of acknowledging him?"

"No way," Wang Arthur said dismissively. "I take back what I said about admiring him."

"Calm down," Xia Xiang advised, "Brother, why don't you not go? I'm afraid his acting is too realistic and will drive you crazy."

"How dare you underestimate me!" Wang Yase ignored Xia Xiang, straightened his collar, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the infirmary.

After Xia Xiang and the other two went inside, they heard Teacher Tian Xin say that she was going to take him to the hospital.

Rex slowly regained consciousness and began to recount his story in fits and starts. He was filled with remorse, tormented by his conscience, and wanted to end his short and tragic life to atone for his sins...

Xia Xiang: End your life? Is the second floor okay? She heard from that classmate that Rex jumped from the second floor.

Teacher Tian Xin was unaware of any connection between this and Xia Xiang and Wang Yase. After the explanation from the students of Ultimate Class One, she was both anxious and angry. She looked at Rex with regret, but even more so with sympathy.

Rex was an excellent student and had a bright future ahead of him. It's truly a tragedy that the heavens are jealous of his talent!

But he made such a joke, fooling everyone, and he even targeted Arthur and Xiangxiang so much...

What should we do? Tian Xin was a little afraid to look in Xia Xiang and Wang Yase's direction.

Wang Arthur was furious at this point; Rex was simply too insidious!

Xia Xiang tugged at Wang Arthur's sleeve and took the initiative to speak, "I believe Rex. He was also deceived. He didn't do it on purpose."

It's better to speak up yourself than to be morally blackmailed. Do you really want to force Rex to "die"?

That damn Rex, she'll remember that!

——

"I told you not to go!" Xia Xiang and Ding Xiaoyu followed half a step behind Wang Yase.

Wang Yase, disregarding his image, chugs ice water, shouting, "Xiangxiang, Xiaoyu, this Rex is a total green tea b*tch! A hypocrite!"

Xia Xiang: Wang Yase's green tea quality and memories were erased together? That's quite a pity.

"Don't be angry," Ding Xiaoyu said, somewhat amused. "I think the most important thing is to deal with Wang Dadong."

"As expected of the deadly drizzle, it hit the nail on the head," Xia Xiang nodded in agreement.

Ding Xiaoyu chuckled, "Stop fooling around."

"What do you mean?" Wang Yase turned to look at the two of them.

Xia Xiang explained, "Even though the other students in Class 1-1 had spent three years with Rex, they always admired Wang Da Dong. Their respect for Rex was simply a matter of obedience to Wang Da Dong as their leader."

"Moreover, if we set aside their personal idolization of Wang Da Dong, it's actually quite easy to see through the trickery involved. After all, the students in Ultimate Class can't possibly live in the same simple environment as ordinary families; who hasn't seen a few strange and monstrous things?"

“Letting Rex make his moves like this is not in line with my style, King Arthur.” King Arthur pondered with his head down. “But I don’t agree with attacking Wang Da Dong.”

"Even if that arrogant jerk is brainless, has a bad temper, and is self-righteous, he is still the brother I, King Arthur, have recognized. My brother is now being deceived by a villain, and I cannot ignore this, much less take action against him."

Xia Xiang: "Brother, you've misunderstood me!"

Ding Xiaoyu nodded silently. He felt that Wang Yase had underestimated Xia Xiang.
