At this point, the man paused, his tone growing even more certain:
"The most crucial thing is that yesterday afternoon, nearly everyone passing by the street near Tian Chun Pavilion saw it."
"Dai Mubai was the one who attacked him. He beat His Highness Xue Beng to death right there in the street."
"There were quite a few eyewitnesses at the scene. This... isn't slander."
After hearing this, Flender's face instantly turned deathly pale. He staggered back a step and murmured in disbelief:
"Impossible... Mubai may be impulsive, but he'd never go so far as to beat a prince to death in public..."
After hearing the report, Liu Erlong's brows knitted into a tight knot, and her gloomy expression looked as though it could drip water:

Her voice carried anger, both irritation at Dai Mubai's recklessness and anxiety over the severity of the situation.
"Never mind that he killed a prince. Even if it had been an ordinary person, committing murder in the street is something that could never be settled easily!"
She turned to Flender and said sternly, "Boss Flander, let me make this clear in advance. If you get any information about Dai Mubai, you absolutely must not conceal it."
"This is no time to protect him. If we truly drive the imperial family into a corner, the entire academy will suffer with him."
Flender hurried forward a step, his tone carrying urgency and remorse:
"Erlong, don't you know me? How could I be that muddleheaded?"
"If I really had any information about that brat, there's no way I'd hide it!"
He let out a heavy sigh,
