Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

After Xu Yingzi jogged back again, she grinned, her face beaming with an innocent smile.

"Brother Cao, that's enough, let's go."

"Walk."

Cao Jianjun got up, took Xu Yingzi, left the police station, got into the police car, and drove away.

Just as they were about to set off, they happened to run into Director Cheng and his men who were escorting prisoners back. They waved to each other through the car window, which was their way of saying goodbye.

Five hours is not a short distance from Quancheng to Lvteng.

Given the urgency, Cao Jianjun dared not delay on the road, driving along the route with the fewest traffic lights and getting onto the highway as quickly as possible.

Xu Yingzi sat in the passenger seat like a well-behaved girl, without saying a word.

Cao Jianjun couldn't help but glance at her a few times, and Xu Yingzi then turned her head to look at her.

The two exchanged an awkward smile.

"Yingzi..."

Cao Jianjun didn't want to remain silent the entire five-hour journey, and he was also afraid of falling asleep, so he chose to chat.

265. How important is a girl's chastity? Brother Cao knows. [8 chapters, please subscribe]

"Ok?"

Xu Yingzi turned around and smiled.

"Let's chat?"

"Brother Cao, what is it?"

"You tell us too."

Cao Jianjun wanted to get Xu Yingzi to open up.

This girl is too calculating.

Although her return from Green Vine saved her life, she has been on her own for over a year now.

Beneath that seemingly healthy and sunny exterior, the knot in her heart remains untied.

"I...don't know what to say..."

Xu Yingzi smiled sweetly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Just say whatever you want to say."

Cao Jianjun tried to keep his tone calm, as if he were talking to his own sister.

"Ok."

Xu Yingzi nodded obediently, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if deep in thought.

"Brother Cao, can you tell me what it feels like to catch bad guys?"

"How does it feel?"

Cao Jianjun was caught off guard by the question: "If it were now, I would probably be numb."

"I saw the video online a while ago of Brother Cao being shot by bad guys in Tianjin Port."

Xu Yingzi still didn't talk about her own experience: "Was Brother Cao scared back then?"

"I'm definitely afraid, but I can't worry about that now."

Cao Jianjun thought for a moment and said, "Because at that time, my only thought was to kill the other side, otherwise they would kill me, as well as my colleagues and witnesses."

"So at this time, hormones are secreted at high speed, and the mind is full of excitement and tension."

"Think about it, when people are in a state of extreme fear, all they can muster is their will to survive, right?"

Xu Yingzi unconsciously thought of that night.

She thought of the night she went to find Sun Xing for her brother's sake, and suffered all kinds of torment and humiliation.

She wanted to die, but she couldn't bear to leave her younger brother, so she dragged her desperate body back.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingzi's pretty face fell.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Cao Jianjun glanced back and, judging from the girl's expression, could basically guess what was going on.

"Yingzi..."

Cao Jianjun shouted again.

"Ok?"

Xu Yingzi snapped out of her daze.

Have you ever been bitten by a dog?

"Biten...bitten by a dog?"

Xu Yingzi was a little confused: "No."

"So, Brother Cao, let me ask you this: if you were attacked by a dog, would you bite it back?"

"puff…"

Xu Yingzi instinctively couldn't help but chuckle, but then she realized what was happening and stared blankly at Cao Jianjun.

"Brother Cao, but they're not dogs, they're people."

"Actually, there's not much difference."

Cao Jianjun said with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about the whole world, just the whole country, 1.4 billion people."

"Lvteng and Quancheng together have a combined population of over 16 million..."

"When you look down the street, you see a huge crowd of people, but are they all people?"

"Not necessarily, Yingzi. If you've been hurt, no matter how big or small the hurt is, if you keep living in that shadow..."

"In the end, you will be swallowed up by this shadow and annihilated by it."

"You might even become like the person who hurt you."

Xu Yingzi's eyes reddened.

She understood what Cao Jianjun was trying to say, but she just couldn't accept it.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her slender, pale fingers, sobbed a little, and gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Brother Cao, this is not fair."

"Isn't it fair?"

Cao Jianjun nodded: "Yes, it's not fair, but that's reality."

"Let me give you another example. There was a village where the local bully had a large family and committed all sorts of evil deeds. They could bully whoever they wanted..."

"There was a poor young man who married a beautiful wife, but as soon as she entered the village, she was taken by the village bully."

“The young man wanted to seek justice, so he called the police and reported it to his superiors.”

"But the village bully's network of connections was too deep, and for several years in a row, the young man was unable to get justice."

"In the end, his wife got pregnant with the village bully's child, had an abortion, got pregnant again, and had another abortion."

"And so it went, over and over again, until finally his wife could no longer have children."

"Later, the village bully and his family were arrested but not sentenced to death, but the young man and his crazy wife were ruined."

"What do you think we should do?"

Xu Yingzi forced herself to suppress her tears and gritted her teeth, saying, "I will kill them."

"Kill who?"

"Village bully".

"Then you will be sentenced to death."

"Then I'll kill them too."

"What if there are other injustices?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjun said with a serious expression, "You killed this village bully, but what about the local tyrants?"

Xu Yingzi fell silent.

“Yingzi, have you thought about this? If the young man kills the village bully as you said, he will also get himself into trouble.”

"After a few years, when his wife remarries, what do you think will be left for the young man?"

Cao Jianjun gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

"Brother Cao, what do you want to tell me?"

"I want to say..."

Cao Jianjun stared ahead of the car and said, "If I were a young man, I wouldn't have as much power as the village bullies. Under the same rules, I couldn't beat them."

“I will leave this village with my wife instead of fighting the village bully to the death.”

"The same logic applies to Yingzi..."
