Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

Chapter 191 You Betrayed Me?



"Wu Shang Jing? You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, everything you say can and will be used in court. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be provided for you."

"What? That's ridiculous! Fuck off!" Wu Shang Jing declared, but then he realised that the police officers weren't joking as they entered the classroom, ready to arrest him. He turned to look at Jingwei with narrowed eyes.

"You… you! You motherfucker! How dare you!" Shang Jing howled, eyes bulging dangerously with rage.

The nerve of his so-called best friend! How dare he call the cops on him! Shang Jing snarled - if he was going to hell, he wasn't going alone. He immediately lunged for Jingwei, grabbing him by the neck, dragging him in front of him to use as a human shield.

Of course, he wasn't so dumb to be unarmed. The sharp pointy end of the scissors pointed at Jingwei's neck, narrowly missing his trachea. Shang Jing watched Jingwei's Adam's apple shift as he gulped nervously, and smirked darkly to himself.

Good, Sun Jingwei still had some common sense. Surely this traitorous friend of his could undo this mess and call off the cops! Zi Long was regrettably somewhere on the sprawling school grounds, because there was usually no need to have him sit in during his classes. Shang Jing just had to meet him.

"Oh my god! Help!"

"Shang Jing has a knife! Ahhh we're going to die!"

"Jingwei is getting stabbed! What's going on?"

"We need to escape!"

If Jingwei wasn't also terrified, he would have rolled his eyes at his classmates that were shrieking in panic, nearly causing a stampede at the doors as they fled from the classroom in terror.

Look! It was a pair of scissors! How could they mistake it for a knife! Admittedly, he wouldn't put it past Shang Jing to bring knives to school to stab people or even small animals.

Ever since he had begun digging and collating Shang Jing's illegal activities, he found that his opinion of his best friend was slowly and surely tarnishing, until he was left wondering if he even knew the boy he treated as a second brother.

Well. If Shang Jing did stab him through the throat, at least Jingwei would know that he had been playing a fool for years. He wouldn't die an idiot. That was a small mercy. And Jingwei also noted with wry amusement, underneath the crushing anxiety and despair, that at least the warrant came during the beginning of organic chemistry instead of their lunch break, hence completely disrupting the lesson.

He hated organic chemistry. If he died, he wouldn't need to sit in any more organic chemistry lessons ever again. That was a plus point.

The police were also stunned at this turn of events. They were expecting a quick and easy arrest, seeing that the perpetrator was a 16 year old boy still in school. Who knew he was capable of holding his classmate hostage? They reached for the tasers in their holsters.

"Wu Shang Jing! Let your classmate go right now!" The police officer in charge demanded.

"Huh? Are you stupid?" Shang Jing retorted. "If I let him go so easily, why would I even bother grabbing him? Is this what my taxpayer's money is going to, training idiot officers like you?!"

"You don't even pay tax. Why are you complaining?" Jingwei muttered bitterly. Yes, tax evasion was also on Shang Jing's highly extensive list of crimes, but Jingwei didn't care that much about it. But then, it actually caused a huge uproar in the National Tax Department!

Compared to the filmed sex tapes and drug dealing, the government actually thought this was a bigger crime! Jingwei would cry if he weren't so relieved that they would finally take action to arrest someone from a wealthy and powerful family.

"Shut it Jingwei, you don't pay tax either!" Shang Jing hissed, his scissors coming dangerously close to the thin skin of his neck.

"I'm jobless and useless, what's your excuse?" Jingwei retorted, feeling a strange bravado that comes from standing by the edge of a cliff. He was going to die at the hands of his oldest friend, and that thought made Jingwei laugh. It was either that or weep.

"You're in charge of your family's accounts!"

"Useless? Oh Jingwei, don't put yourself down like that," Shang Jing cooed. If this was in the past, this would be a supportive statement from his best friend, but now, it was nothing short of a threat. Shang Jing's eyes glittered maliciously as he peered into Jingwei's eyes, a steady hand still holding the pair of scissors, as though deciding which spot to stab it in.

"How could you possibly be useless?" Shang Jing continued, another hand trailing his neck, fingers gently grabbing his windpipe, another unsaid threat hanging in the air.

"After all, would a useless person dare to get the police to arrest me? And during organic chemistry too - one of your most hated lessons! Have more pride in yourself!" Shang Jing declared, cackling madly as he pressed down. Jingwei choked, his arms flailing as he instinctively tried to pull him away, but Jingwei and Shang Jing were always of equal strength, and now Shang Jing was mad enough to fit to murder!

Faintly, he could hear the sounds of his classmates screaming outside the classroom. They were watching anxiously, and a lot of students had tears in their eyes, not understanding how Shang Jing could kill Jingwei right in front of them!

"Even… if I… die today… you won't… get… away… with….this…" Jingwei wheezed out pathetically, his voice thinning due to the lack of air. He had suspected that his life would be in danger after the warrant for Shang Jing's arrest was out, but he never expected Shang Jing to try to murder him so quickly!

But at least Wu Shang Jing's crimes would never be buried. Jingwei made sure of that; he sent the knowledge of Wu Shang Jing's criminal activities to every person with a working internet connection in the country. Even if the authorities wanted to side with the Wu family, the anger of regular people would force them to take action.

In fact, reporters should be flooding to the school any moment now - he had disabled the security system that was meant to keep out intruders for today.

He wanted them to report Shang Jing's arrest, but if he didn't do something to get away, they would be reporting his death instead!
