Liu Luobin's tearful speech indeed moved many students.
Many people looked at Qiao Suinian with suspicion in their eyes. They began to wonder if Qiao Suinian was really framing Liu Luobin in order to seize power, just as Liu Luobin had said.
Some conspiracy theorists went even further, wondering what if the zombies were released by Qiao Suinian?
He first let the zombies in, then stepped forward to save everyone, becoming a great hero, and then framed Liu Luobin!
This possibility cannot be ruled out, and the more they thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
As he watched the crowd begin to turn against him, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on Liu Luobin's lips.
Public opinion? That's something to be fooled.
Most people lack the ability to think independently; whatever you show them, they will believe.
As for what the truth is, many people don't really care; they only care about the truth they imagine that fits their own values.
So what if you, Qiao Suinian, know that I let the zombies in? Do you think anyone will believe you?
Liu Luobin looked at Qiao Suinian smugly, but upon seeing him, his heart skipped a beat.
Because he didn't see any panic or indignation on Qiao Suinian's face. Qiao Suinian's expression was very calm, and he even smiled when he looked at him.
This made Liu Luobin inexplicably uneasy.
"Principal Liu, are you finished? Is there anything else you'd like to add? If you don't say it now, you might not have another chance later," Qiao Suinian asked.
"Won't you get a chance to speak later? Qiao Suinian, are you planning to kill me to silence me? There are so many classmates here, do you think you can silence everyone?" Liu Luobin glared angrily.
"It's not exactly murder to silence you, but you have to die."
Qiao Suinian's calm words caused an uproar in the audience.
Liu Luobin was secretly delighted, but his face showed a look of fear and heartache.
"How dare you utter such treasonous words? Alas! I never imagined that my Jinghai University would produce a student like you! This is all my fault, my fault for neglecting to discipline you. I have let down my late principal!"
Liu Luobin wailed and pounded his chest, looking utterly devastated.
This scene deeply moved everyone; they were afraid of zombies, but they were not afraid of Qiao Suinian.
Those who felt indignant on Liu Luobin's behalf began to condemn Qiao Suinian, and in an instant, Qiao Suinian became the target of widespread criticism.
"Qiao Suinian, you've gone too far! How could you treat Principal Liu like this? You even tried to kill him? You don't deserve to be called a human being!"
"Exactly! Let's all think about it carefully. If Principal Liu hadn't called us to gather in the auditorium in the first place, how many more of us would have died? It's not an exaggeration to say that Principal Liu saved our lives, is it? Now, some people are trying to kill Principal Liu for the sake of power. Do you agree with that?"
"Of course we disagree! Qiao Suinian is acting entirely out of self-interest, disregarding everyone's safety. Killing Principal Liu would be tantamount to weakening our human side!"
"To be honest, it's hard to say who let the zombies in. Before Qiao Suinian came, there were never any problems with the escape route. After he arrived, the zombies came in through the escape route. Don't you guys find that strange?"
These words silenced the entire room.
Everyone was horrified when they thought about it... What if the truth really is like this?
Looking at Qiao Suinian's calm expression, everyone had a thought in their minds: "You can't judge a book by its cover; you can know a person's face but not their heart."
"How can you say that! You've gone too far! Without Qiao Suinian, would you have survived the zombie horde?" Zuo Fangya couldn't help but speak up in defense of Qiao Suinian.
"Heh, who knows if he let the zombies in or if he's the one crying wolf?" A boy with triangular eyes couldn't help but retort.
"Say one more word, and I'll roast you like a suckling pig!" Jiang Ping's face darkened, and flames ignited, scaring the boy into silence.
"Little Nianzi, why don't you say something?" Feng Zhizhao couldn't help but get anxious.
Qiao Suinian smiled and then spoke loudly.
"What's there to explain? I'm going to kill Liu Luobin today. Anyone who has a problem with that, step forward and I'll kill them all!"
After saying that, Qiao Suinian picked up the useless big stick and walked toward Liu Luobin with murderous intent.
Sensing the terrifying killing intent emanating from Qiao Suinian, which was almost suffocating, those who had just been speaking up for Liu Luobin all fell silent.
No one doubted that if someone stood up at this moment, they would really be killed by Qiao Suinian!
Liu Luobin was completely panicked. He didn't expect that Qiao Suinian was a complete madman. Even though public opinion was on his side, he still wanted to kill him.
Isn't he afraid that from now on, his subordinates will be outwardly united but inwardly divided?
"Qiao Suinian, don't do anything reckless! Do you want to go against the will of the people? Everyone thinks I can't die!" Liu Luobin shouted hysterically.
"I don't care what others think, I care what I think."
Qiao Suinian swung his useless big stick and smashed it down on Liu Luobin's head. Liu Luobin hurriedly drew his long knife to defend himself.
When Qiao Suinian was at level 2, Liu Luobin was already no match for him. Now that Qiao Suinian has reached level 3, Liu Luobin is even more unable to withstand his fierce attacks.
The useless big stick was swung out relentlessly, causing Liu Luobin to retreat step by step.
Qiao Suinian quickly seized on Liu Luobin's mistake and knocked the long knife out of Liu Luobin's hand with a single blow.
