The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 176: Cheating at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, Bow and Guard

"Are you going to smoke or not?"

Li Ru cursed angrily. Cao Cao put his hand into the box and was reluctant to take it out. Mei Niang beside him winked at him.

"Could he have discovered something?"

"Probably not, I did it very secretly!"

The two people kept communicating with their eyes. As partners for many years, they could easily convey their thoughts with their eyes.

"That's it!"

When Fang Mu saw the eye contact between the two people, he became more certain of his guess and then smiled with satisfaction.

"Cao Cao, if you don't pull it out, your classmates will laugh at you!"

Li Ru looked at Cao Cao with his hand in the box, and he became more and more uneasy. He hurriedly called out to everyone and shouted.

"Cao Cao, coward!"

"Cao Cao, coward!"

"Cao Cao, coward!"

……

As Li Ru, Mei Niang and the guards began to fan the flames, everyone at the scene, except the classmates, started to mock Cao Cao.

"My dear... uh... no, Vice Principal Dong, you see Cao Cao is so cowardly, can you please let him go for the sake of our friendship as classmates for so many years?"

Wang Yun pleaded again. It was not that he could not be strong, but that he had no way to be strong now. Just yesterday, he suddenly found that the members under him had been replaced one after another, and he, as the principal, could not order them around at all. In other words, he had been sidelined!

"Okay, since you've said that, I can't ignore our friendship as classmates. I'll give Cao Cao a chance!"

Dong Zhuo stood up and said to Cao in the audience.

"Cao Cao, our kind Principal Wang Yun asked me to give you a chance, so I'll give you one!"

Dong Zhuo smiled grimly. Cao Cao looked at Dong Zhuo's smile and a bad feeling flashed through his mind.

"According to what the current Student Union President, Lu Bu, said, you had two accomplices with you when you attacked me that night. How about this: if you can reveal the identities of those two accomplices, I'll show you mercy and forgive your disrespect towards me. Let them bear the punishment in your place. You're a smart person, you should understand what I mean!"

As soon as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, the Five Tiger Generals in the audience became restless. Dong Zhuo didn't know, but they knew that it was Fang Mu and Guan Yu who followed Cao Cao to attack Dong Zhuo that night.

"Yun Chang..."

Diao Chan held Guan Yu's hand and said with some concern.

"Don't worry, Diao Chan. I believe in the president's character, and I also believe in myself. I was involved in this matter in the first place. If the president really gives me away, I have no complaints!"

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo on the high platform, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking about the conditions given by Dong Zhuo.

After thinking for a minute, Cao Cao's ears moved, and then he showed a helpless smile on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Vice Principal Dong, but I'm sorry, I was the only one who attacked you that day!"

Cao Cao deliberately emphasized the word "deputy" when addressing Dong Zhuo, and did not care about Dong Zhuo's gloomy expression at all.

"Besides, I've already smoked it!"

After saying that, Cao Cao suddenly pressed his hand towards the bottom of the box. With a "click" sound, he slowly took his hand out of the box. Under the sunlight, a white ball was pinched between his fingers!

“How…is this possible?”

Li Ru and Mei Niang looked at the white ball in Cao Cao's hand and were so shocked that they couldn't speak. Whether it was the ball or the box, they had ensured that nothing would go wrong!

"Li Ru, if I draw the white ball, can I release it on the spot?"

Cao Cao smiled at Li Ru, but Li Ru felt creepy all over and couldn't help but look at Dong Zhuo, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face, behind the platform.

"It's over, it's over. If I don't control the situation, I'm going to die here today!"

Thinking of this, Li Ru immediately opened the box. To the shock of everyone present, the black balls and white balls in the box were all separated. The black balls were all at the bottom of the box, while the white balls were all stuck to the top of the box for some reason.

"Everyone, please pay attention! The situation inside the box shows that there's something wrong with Cao Cao's drawing of lots this time. I seriously suspect he kept his hand inside and didn't take it out, which means he was tampering with it!"

When Li Ru felt the threat of death, his brain worked frantically, and he immediately took control of the situation and put the blame on Cao Cao.

"According to the campus self-government law, cheating during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony will be punished by death! Where are the guards?"

"Yes!"

All the guards present turned their guns and aimed at Cao Cao on the platform.

"Minister Li, if I heard correctly, you were responsible for making these boxes and balls, right? The six supervisory committee members also inspected them. You also searched me before I drew the lots. If you accuse me of cheating, you need to provide evidence!"

"Stop talking nonsense! The white and black balls in the box are now separated. The situation is favorable to you, so the cheater must be you, Guards!"

Li Ru called out to the guards again. At this moment, all the guards pulled the trigger. As long as Li Ru gave the order, they could immediately shoot Cao Cao to death on the spot.

"In the name of the Alliance Leader, the school principal, and the Alliance Central Committee members, apprehend Cao Cao, the cheater in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony!"

"Yes!"

The guards immediately prepared to step forward with guns, but at this moment a voice came from the audience.

"Wait a moment!"

The person who spoke was Sun Shangxiang. Dong Zhuo looked at Sun Shangxiang with some fear, and at the same time gave Li Ru a wink, indicating that he should see what Sun Shangxiang was up to.

"I have a question. As Cao Cao just said, all the materials for the lottery were prepared by you. Cao Cao was also searched before the lottery. How did he cheat?"

Sun Shangxiang gave a mischievous smile.

"I think the person who cheated might be someone else."

Sun Shangxiang pointed her finger at the platform. Looking in the direction of Sun Shangxiang's finger, it was exactly where Cao Cao was, and he immediately confirmed loudly.

"That's right, the one who cheated would be him, not anyone else!"

At this moment, Mei Niang on the high platform looked at Li Ru beside her with some disbelief. The reason was that Sun Shangxiang's finger was pointing at her.

"Could it really be someone else?"

"Yes, it must be him. I am 100% sure, it is definitely him!"

Sun Shangxiang smiled triumphantly.

"Li Ru said that you were the one who cheated, Mei Niang!"

"That's right... Mei... Mei Niang?!"

"He's talking nonsense. He was the one who cheated. I didn't do anything!"

As soon as Mei Niang finished speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong and immediately covered her mouth, but it was too late. Everyone in the audience heard what she said.

"Mei Niang!"

Dong Zhuo slammed the chair. At this moment, he really wanted to take action in public and slap Mei Niang to death.

"oh----!"

"It turns out that the one who cheated in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was Li Ru!"

Sun Shangxiang immediately pressed siman, and downloaded a tall and luxurious flag with the word "Sun" printed on it, and placed it in the middle of the square.

"Strong fragrant ball!"

Sun Shangxiang shouted immediately, and four girls in tight leather jackets jumped in from the walls. They were very skilled in punches and kicks, and it was obvious that they were martial artists.

"By order of Sun Jian, the Central Committee member of the All-School Alliance and the President of the Jiangdong District Alliance, arrest Li Ru, the person who cheated in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony!"

"Let's see who dares, the Guards!"

Mei Niang immediately summoned the guards to protect her. There was no other way. She and Li Ru were on the same boat, because she prepared the props and Li Ru was only responsible for the operation. Once Li Ru was caught, he would definitely give herself away based on his nature, so she had to protect Li Ru.

"bow!"

The four members of the Jinxiang Group immediately took out their red bows and arrows and confronted the guards in front of Li Rumei Niang.

"Protect!"

"Keng!"

The Five Tiger Generals held their weapons, each ready for battle, and stood in front of several people to protect them.

"Clap clap clap..."

As the applause rang out, Dong Zhuo forced a smile, stood up from his seat, and then looked at the Five Tiger Generals, Sun Shangxiang and others in the audience with a cold look.

"It's true that heroes emerge young, and women are no less capable than men! I'm deeply saddened by the fact that cheating occurred during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. However, it seems that neither side has sufficient evidence, so a specific verdict cannot be given for the time being. However, there are indeed major flaws on the part of the organizers. Someone, arrest Li Ru and Mei Niang, and give each of them 1000 lashes. If they die, they're guilty; if they survive, their crimes aren't punishable by death. Take them both away!"

Dong Zhuo's move was a roundabout way. Although Cao Cao was not executed this time, the initiative was still in Dong Zhuo's hands. He had the chance to kill Cao Cao. As for Li Ru and Mei Niang, the two idiots almost ruined his plan again, so let them suffer a little first.

"Wait!"
