Seeing Su Yang's expression, Wu Zheng couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Everyone says Su Yang is as shrewd as they come, but look at this—just a few words from me, and he's completely fooled!
Su Yang looked furious, remaining silent for a long while as if struggling to figure out how to deny the matter. At last, he let out a long sigh, as though resigning himself to fate. He raised his head to glance at Wu Zheng and asked softly, "Protector Wu, did you really hear this from people at Qinghe Academy?"
Su Yang's words were tantamount to a full admission of the matter.
Wu Zheng was secretly overjoyed. His biggest concern had been Su Yang denying it outright. If that happened, he might have been forced to resort to threats.
But instead, with just one bluff, he managed to draw the truth out, saving himself a great deal of trouble. Negotiating the next steps would be far easier now!
