665: 535 approaches it, becos it 665: 535 approaches it, becos it “Push it over.”
Above the sea, where only the sound of the waves could be heard, a ferry was smoothly anchored.
Following an emotionless command, shadows moved on the deck, and then a heavy oil drum was seen tipping over, rolling swiftly forward, and plumting off the ship into the sea below.
“Sploosh…”
A splash of water erupted.
The oil drum sank quickly, rcilessly engulfed by the icy seawater.
The ripples spread out and then slowly returned to calm; in only a few seconds, the oil drum had disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
Under the desolate and pitch-black night, Jiang Chen stood on the deck of the ferry, witnessing this inhuman scene with his own eyes.
How heavy is life?
How light is life?
A living person had just disappeared quietly and soundlessly from this world, and there probably wouldn’t even be anyone who knew where he went.
“That guy was pretty well-prepared, sending his wife and child up north beforehand.
I wonder what he was thinking.
Walking the road to the yellow springs alone, doesn’t he fear loneliness?”
An Zairong sighed, his words as piercingly cold as ever, sending chills down one’s spine.
He then waved his hand, signaling to return to port.
North.
Of course, that referred to the fraternal nation known for its love and hate relationship.
“Miss Lan, I think we should still send soone to capture his wife and child.”
An Zairong turned around.
The so-called ruthlessness was probably about him; the proverb “do not implicate the wife and children” seed like nonsense to him.
But that was also right.
What era are we in now, where people still abide by all those outdated underworld rules?
Regardless of how treacherous the man in the grey suit with the red tie seed, he was quite respectful towards Lan Peizhi.
“His family probably knows nothing; there’s no need to waste manpower…”
Lan Peizhi spoke lightly, her face long in features and devoid of emotion at the mont, unsettlingly calm.
Jiang Chen could clearly feel that her reason for not capturing the family of the man who had sunk to the bottom of the river wasn’t out of rcy but rather because she saw it as unnecessary.
If they had been in Korea, she probably wouldn’t mind eliminating them as a matter of course.
Like the ripples on the sea, Jiang Chen’s tumultuous emotions slowly settled down.
No matter how much the underworld has changed nowadays, the nature of this realm inevitably remains the sa.
Since Lan Peizhi was called the “Bloody Guanyin,” she naturally wasn’t a benevolent believer.
The scene he had just witnessed was probably a true reflection of her life.
Moreover, she had warned him before he ca.
“Since Miss Lan said so, let’s forget it.”
An Zairong exhaled and then looked at Jiang Chen with a friendly expression before leading a few subordinates into the cabin.
Gao Zhengbi, who was also on the deck, tacitly walked towards the ship’s railing, keeping so distance.
As for the bloodbath he had just witnessed, it was as if he had seen nothing at all; he had no reaction whatsoever.
Being able to stay by Shi Qianxi’s side, he was naturally a person who had seen the world.
The world was cruel to begin with; people die every mont.
All the more so if they were Koreans.
“You should be aware of what happened, right?”
The successive sea breezes blew Lan Peizhi’s clothes with a rustling sound.
Viewing a beauty under the moonlight used to be one of life’s great pleasures, but in this situation, the feeling was entirely different.
Even though she had not personally acted and was rely an onlooker, it was clear that she was the mastermind behind this bloody incident.
“Shi Qianxi ntioned so details, but only partially; I’m not very clear on the specifics.”
Jiang Chen spoke truthfully.
“Knowing nothing, you dared to co to Seoul?”
Lan Peizhi asked.
Facing her gaze, Jiang Chen smiled slightly without any trace of strangeness and repeated, “We are friends.”
Lan Peizhi looked at him silently for a while.
“Go back.
This matter is none of your business and you won’t be of any help.
You’ve seen for yourself that the problems here can’t be resolved in conventional ways.”
Jiang Chen was unmoved and asked, “Do you think I can’t handle it?”
Lan Peizhi didn’t reply,
Jiang Chen smiled aningfully.
“You can rest assured, although I have received a higher education, I also understand a principle.”
Lan Peizhi’s eyes slightly lifted at the corners.
“Which principle?”
“To end evil, one must approach it, or even beco it.”
Jiang Chen’s light voice dissipated in the sea breeze.
Gao Zhengbi, who was at the railing in the distance, glanced in their direction.
Lan Peizhi’s pupils tightened, and then the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
“Where did you learn that principle?”
“Where I learned it isn’t important.
What’s important is whether the principle makes sense.
I have a friend who studies law, and she admits that the law is not omnipotent.
When the law falls short, we always need another set of rules.”
Lan Peizhi fell silent, looking out at the sea.
“The man just now was…” Jiang Chen asked in a tily manner.
“A key figure in the Soomusha Corporation.
Because of his betrayal of information, the Korean authorities were able to seize my cargo ship.”
Without rushing to ask what the Soomusha Corporation was, Jiang Chen pondered and asked, “It doesn’t seem like he would have the guts to do it alone.”
He was clear about what kind of person Lan Peizhi was.
The mber of the Soomusha Corporation who had paid a terrible price also surely understood.
“Of course, he wasn’t alone.”
Lan Peizhi spoke flatly, her composure strong, indicating no signs of anger even though she had been betrayed and was caught in a massive maelstrom.
