Chapter 144 Hypocrisy

Li Tianran lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, then suddenly laughed: "Inspector Yuan, actually, I have the same thought."

Yuan Zheng Hong raised his eyebrows.

"I always thought you were a good person, at least a good police officer... but after the Wells case and this time with the evil cult, I've changed my opinion of you."

Yuan Zheng Hong narrowed his eyes, watching Li Tianran, signaling him to continue.

"In the Wells case, I killed more people and created more chaos... but you just casually glossed over all my mistakes with a single sentence."

"I always thought you were doing it out of justice."

"But now it seems that everything was just to achieve your goals... to recruit me, to use me!"

Li Tianran picked up a piece of fried egg, sprinkled a layer of salt and pepper on it, put it in his mouth, and felt the smooth egg white and the fragrance of salt and pepper, revealing a smile: "So in this evil cult case, after you realized that you couldn't get me to join your team, you decisively abandoned me and wanted to seize my mistakes to send me to hell."

"If you can't get it, destroy it..."

Li Tianran stared at Yuan Zheng Hong, asking, word by word: "Inspector Yuan, is that what you were thinking?"

"Someone who can do such a thing, what qualifications do you have to call me hypocritical? I'm probably not even one-tenth as skilled as you... I have a lot to learn from you!"

Faced with Li Tianran's sharp words, Yuan Zheng Hong's Adam's apple bobbed.

He was silent for a moment, then said expressionlessly: "I am a military police officer, and I must first consider things from the Federation's perspective... An uncontrollable knife, of course, must be locked up! From a personal perspective, I may be wrong! But from the perspective of the military police and the Federation, I still think I am completely right!"

An individual's thoughts only concern right and wrong.

But the state needs to consider pros and cons!

These are two different levels of thinking!

"Besides... discussing these issues now is completely meaningless." Yuan Zheng Hong seemed to deliberately avoid the question.

"I agree." Li Tianran nodded: "So... what are you planning to do with me?"

"Eleven-person trial." Yuan Zheng Hong said: "Let the trial result determine your fate."

"Okay, I agree." Li Tianran had already known this result, so he wasn't surprised at this time, and nodded directly.

Yuan Zheng Hong stared into Li Tianran's eyes, watching his calm reaction, and said: "In the eleven-person trial, the chances of you being found guilty are very high. The military police department will be represented by me, the parliamentary department will be represented by Wang Dongchuan, and there will be some official people, occupying more than half of the number."

The eleven-person trial, although known as the fairest trial, includes people from both official and civilian circles, but the number eleven itself is not fair enough.

Whether it is the number of people from the official or civilian sides, it is impossible to remain completely consistent; one side will always have one more person.

And this spot has always been occupied by the official side.

If it were normal, then the outcome would still be unknown.

But at this time, both the military and government in Nan City harbor hostility towards Li Tianran, so the result of this trial is probably already doomed...

"Before the result is born, no one can know... perhaps a miracle will appear?" Li Tianran looked at Yuan Zheng Hong extremely calmly, revealing a smile: "By the way, I didn't prepare breakfast for you... please put it down."

Yuan Zheng Hong was stunned for a moment, then silently put down the meat bun and chopsticks in his hand, and walked out of the small building in silence.

"Let those people disperse; we won't touch you again before the trial begins."

Yuan Zheng Hong's voice came from outside the door.

"You also said... that all criminals would be brought to justice." Li Tianran shrugged, "It seems the result isn't quite the same as what you said."

Dong, dong, dong!

Yuan Zheng Hong didn't speak anymore; only the heavy sound of footsteps faded away.

Hanhan walked out barefoot, looking curiously at Yuan Zheng Hong's departing figure, and said softly: "Big brother, is he Yuan-jiejie's father?"

"Yeah." Li Tianran nodded.

"Big brother, aren't you afraid Yuan-jiejie will turn against you if you don't give him face like that?" Hanhan asked.

Li Tianran felt a pang in his heart.

He remembered what Yuan Yi had said to him yesterday and fell silent.

Some people are destined to be together but not meant to be.

Now that Yuan Zheng Hong wants to arrest him, what's the point of trying to repair the relationship with Yuan Wen?

To make Yuan Wen watch her dad and Li Tianran fight wits and courage, leaving her caught in the middle?

That would be too cruel.

"Eat." Li Tianran said calmly.

Hanhan grabbed a bun and was about to bite into it.

"Take another one; he touched this one." Li Tianran tapped his chopsticks and said.

"Yuan-jiejie's dad isn't dirty..." Hanhan said, wide-eyed and puzzled.

"He wants to arrest me." Li Tianran calmly picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip.

Hanhan ran to the window, spat at Yuan Zheng Hong's departing figure: "Ptooey! Bad guy! So dirty! Disgusting..."

"That's a bit too much acting..." Li Tianran said expressionlessly.

Hanhan grinned, ran back, picked up the big bowl, and started shoveling rice.

"Eat some fried egg..." Li Tianran reached out with his chopsticks and put some in Hanhan's bowl.

...

Research Institute.

The female assistant looked a little nervous, looking at Bai Jingyan in front of her, and asked in a trembling voice: "Researcher Bai, are we really going to do this? The other party is a deputy speaker; if something goes wrong, even the parent company will be in trouble."

Bai Jingyan's pale face wore an indifferent expression. At this time, the veins on his neck were bulging, and even the blue blood vessels had climbed onto his cheeks and the base of his ears, making him look like a demon king in a myth, very terrifying.

"What we are going to do is to guide all of humanity into a new era, a new civilization! We are the pioneers of that era! For this goal, I can do anything!"

"Compared to this goal, what is a deputy speaker? What is the law? What is even a country?"

"What I want to accomplish is a feat that no one has ever accomplished, and if I don't even have this courage and determination, I don't deserve to walk on this path!"

A trace of madness appeared in Bai Jingyan's eyes. He opened his arms as if to embrace something.

That was the glory of the future, the miracle in his imagination!

"Kings and generals, with shocking power and influence, will eventually be forgotten in the changes of history!"

"Only existences like Fuxi and Nuwa, the Yan and Huang Emperors, can be remembered by the entire history of mankind..."

Legend has it that Fuxi created the heavens and Nuwa created humans, and only then did the human race appear in this world.

The Yan and Huang Emperors defeated Chi You, completely changing the land from a tribal system to a dynasty system, and the first dynasty in human history was born.

They were undoubtedly existences that influenced the historical process of the human race!

And at this time, Bai Jingyan actually wanted to compare himself to the gods with his own mortal body; he wanted to use the blood of perfect mutants to open the human genetic lock!

Once completed, Bai Jingyan would inevitably become an existence that changed the level of the human race.

He would also be remembered by the world like the gods of the past!

For this ideal, he would not hesitate to do anything crazy!
