#688 - Chapter 688 Delaying Time
“What did you say?”
Hearing Wu Wei say that Han Xuan had disappeared in his place, both Instructor Xiao Shi and Li Xuefeng were stunned.
You should know that Wu Wei had never mentioned this matter before!
“Actually, the matter isn’t that complicated.”
Wu Wei sneered and told everyone present about everything that happened between him and Han Xuan before entering that plane.
From the two people's views on the mission, to their respective customized strategies, and then to Wu Wei suddenly changing his mind before entering the plane, wanting to go to the ocean planet to incubate the Abyssal Leviathan.
It has to be said that this matter was indeed a very coincidental.
Because under normal circumstances, Wu Wei was weaker and less adept at naval warfare compared to Han Xuan, so he was destined to enter the desert planet.
But it was because of the small coincidence of the Abyssal Leviathan that Wu Wei and Han Xuan exchanged the areas of attack.
To put it simply, if Wu Wei hadn't suddenly changed his mind, then Wu Wei would most likely have been the lord who was taken away!
“So…”
After recounting the whole story, Wu Wei looked coldly at Liu Qing in front of him.
“Because of all these coincidences, I suspect that you are the mastermind who wanted to put me to death!”
“Ridiculous!”
“Your statement is simply sophistry and full of loopholes.”
Indeed, Wu Wei's statement was too absurd.
It was indeed unreasonable to pin the blame of harming him on Liu Qing based on this level of evidence, who quickly became the new principal after Han Xuan's disappearance.
After all, such a conspiracy would be too obvious.
After listening to Wu Wei's account, Li Xuefeng thought to himself.
Wait…
Suddenly, Li Xuefeng looked at Wu Wei, his eyes widening unnaturally.
He suddenly understood Wu Wei's idea!
“Ahem, everyone!”
After understanding Wu Wei's idea, Li Xuefeng spoke.
“Although Wu Wei's statement is not so reasonable, if what he said is true, then there have been too many coincidences during this period.”
“The reasons behind these coincidences need to be verified one by one.”
“So, my suggestion is that Lord Liu Qing suspend the process of taking office and accept a fair investigation from the Empire.”
“The Empire will investigate your actions during this period and whether you are really the murderer who harmed Wu Wei or Han Xuan.”
“During the period you are under investigation, our War College will continue to be headed by Xiao Shi as the interim principal.”
“Ridiculous!”
Liu Qing roared.
“I clearly didn’t do anything, why should I be investigated?”
Looking at Liu Qing's complaints, Instructor Xiao Shi, who understood what was happening, added.
“The innocent are naturally clear.”
“As long as you yourself don’t have any abnormalities, I believe the Empire will give you justice, won’t it?”
Seeing these two lords in front of him defending Wu Wei like this, Liu Qing couldn't help but clench his teeth.
“Fine!”
“You guys remember this.”
“Once the Empire doesn’t find any problems with me, you guys will be in trouble!”
After saying these threatening words, Liu Qing left this place.
Unsurprisingly, due to the questioning of Wu Wei and others, the Empire will soon thoroughly investigate this matter.
“Phew…”
“This old thing is finally gone.”
After seeing Liu Qing leave, Xiao Shi and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, Wu Wei spoke.
“Um, if Liu Qing accepts the investigation, how long will the War College be in your hands?”
The person Wu Wei was asking was the current acting principal, Xiao Shi.
That’s right, the only purpose Wu Wei had in making such an absurd accusation against Liu Qing from beginning to end was to buy as much time as possible for the War College to rescue Han Xuan.
And fortunately, Xiao Shi and Li Xuefeng both understood his intentions.
“The Empire’s efficiency in this kind of matter has always been fast, and the principal’s identity is relatively special.”
“So, we only have about five days at most.”
“At most five days?”
Wu Wei nodded.
“This time is enough for us to go to the Giant Court and bring back that old man Han Xuan.”
“Five days is enough? Are you kidding me, Wu Wei!”
Li Xuefeng was stunned after hearing Wu Wei say that five days was enough.
“Do you know that the enemy we are facing this time is the Giant Court.”
“Let alone whether our War College has the strength to fight the Giant Court alone, even if our strength is enough, we can’t do anything in just five days!”
“Indeed.”
After hearing Li Xuefeng’s statement, Xiao Shi also added.
“Wu Wei, you must understand that we cannot bypass the Human Empire and start a war against the Giant Court without authorization.”
“If you want to use all the power of the War College privately to fight against the Giant Court, I will not be able to assist you.”
“Although I know you care about the old principal’s safety, you must be calm!”
In the eyes of these two instructors, Wu Wei was a complete madman.
Casually starting a war with the Giant Court was a very terrifying thing.
Because the overall strength of the Giant Court was far stronger than even the top few prosperous families in the Human Empire.
Such a behemoth was not something that the War College, which had temporarily lost the Empire’s support, could face alone.
Starting a war rashly would cause heavy damage to the War College.
So, although Instructor Xiao Shi and Li Xuefeng both respected Han Xuan very much, from the standpoint of the War College, neither of them would allow Wu Wei to act recklessly.
“No, no, no, you seem to have misunderstood.”
“I’m not doing this for that old geezer Han Xuan.”
Suddenly, Wu Wei spoke.
“From beginning to end, I haven’t cared about Han Xuan, although I admit that my series of transactions with him will benefit me greatly!”
“What I really care about is that I want to figure out who in the Empire dares to build such a trap with the Giant Court to target me, wanting me dead!”
Speaking of this, a fierce killing intent appeared in Wu Wei’s eyes.
This killing intent and coldness, coupled with Wu Wei’s previous crazy actions, even made Xiao Shi and Li Xuefeng feel horrified.
“So, I’m going to make you a good deal.”
“What deal?”
Li Xuefeng frowned, a bad feeling appearing in his heart.
“You give me all the available funds inside the War College, and I will go to the Giant Court plane in my personal capacity to cause trouble for the Giant Court.”
“If all goes well, I might even have a chance to save that old geezer named Han Xuan.”
“This will not damage the foundation of the War College, nor will it make things difficult for you two.”
“In fact, I won’t even use any power of the War College other than funds!”
“What do you think of my proposal?”
Looking at Wu Wei's confident appearance, Li Xuefeng frowned.
However, Instructor Xiao Shi's expression relaxed a lot.....
Obviously, these two instructors had different choices when facing Wu Wei's proposal.
