The atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy for a moment. Justice and fairness are words that are inherently heavy. The world is bright, so bright that most people can live in a peaceful and happy country.

But there is still much darkness in this world where even the light cannot reach, and many people struggle in the face of injustice and grievances.

Zhao Tong clenched his fist. As a rich kid, he had lived a life of luxury since childhood and had a bright future ahead of him. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been able to take this path.

But it was because he had seen too many people struggling and sinking into decadence that he went against his family's wishes and resolutely embarked on this path.

Now, hearing Shen Jiming say this, he felt incredibly conflicted.

Shen Jiyuan frowned and looked at him. "So, you really forced Sheng Ling to his death?"

"You broke Shengjing's leg too?" He raised his eyes, staring intently at the other person. "Was it so that Mo Yan could smoothly take over the Shengshi Group?"

Shen Jiming nodded, then shook his head. "Not really."

"Oh?"

Shen Jiming suddenly said, "Our team is called KING, but each of us has a different codename. Do you know why?"

Shen Jidao, "Just to show off?"

Shen Jiming: "..."

He remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "Indeed, I was young and reckless back then, and I didn't know any better than to act recklessly."

Shen Ji scoffed, "Does that have anything to do with Sheng Ling's death?"

Shen Jiming raised his eyes. "Yes."

"Oh?"

"Do you know what all our code names mean?"

Shen Ji was taken aback.

"KING means king, representing leadership, so he is our boss."

"Monarch means monarch." Shen Jiming smiled. "People like this are strategists in a team. Mo Yan is meticulous and good at planning, so he is the planner of our team."

"Caesar... has a very good relationship with the boss, KING. The two grew up together and share the same dream. After the boss gave himself the code name KING, he gave himself the code name Caesar... a legendary hero. He said it was his ideal."

"Caesar was primarily responsible for directing intelligence gathering and operations."

"Shah..." He paused for a moment before continuing, "...wasn't someone who joined our team from the beginning."

"He is... a technical expert I met in Guimage in Huai'an. He is a bit older than us and doesn't live in Qingfeng County."

"Cheng Yang... after the incident with that girl, our team was officially established. Cheng Yang's case was also the first injustice we dealt with."

"After that... it was just like what you saw in the video. We tied up Sheng Ling, beat him up, and recorded a video."

"After that, we began to investigate the Sheng family by various means, including the Sheng family members, the Shengshi Group... all the evidence of their crimes."

"Back then, we were young, and our connections, resources, and methods were very limited. Investigating the massive Sheng family was harder than climbing to heaven."

"That's when we realized we needed a technician."

"It was around that time that I met Shah at Guima Pavilion in Huai'an."

A complex, unreadable look flashed in Shen Jiming's deep eyes. "Huai'an took the initiative to approach him. After learning that we were investigating the Sheng family, he readily agreed to help us."

"After we beat Sheng Ling up, a few months later, news spread that he had developed mental problems and later committed suicide by jumping off a building."

"After that, the Sheng family fell into chaos."

"Mo Yan also began to compete for the position of heir of the Sheng family. Sheng Jing was originally a good-for-nothing, and later, in a conflict with Mo Yan, his leg was accidentally broken by the third brother."

"The Sheng family had no choice but to push Mo Yan, their only illegitimate son, to become the heir of the Sheng family."

"During my senior year of high school, my parents were transferred from Qingfeng County back to Jincheng, so I had to go back to Jincheng to study for my senior year. After returning to Jincheng, I found out that Shah was also from Jincheng and was three years older than me."

Shen Jiyuan frowned and asked, "Have you met?"

Shen Jiming nodded. "I've met you."

"Who is it?"

Shen Jiming remained silent.

Shen Jiyuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "They're people we know, aren't they?"

After a long pause, Shen Jiming said, "Yes, but he's dead now, so let's not ask any more questions."

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes. "Why? Is there something wrong with his identity?"

Shen Jiming shook his head and said no more.

He paused, then continued, "After that incident, Shah joined us and became the fifth one."

"He... is very good at business. Our team's behind-the-scenes funding almost entirely comes from him and Mo Yan."

"Liang Huai'an is the fourth son, Tzar, and the seventh son is Rajah."

"And I am Sovereign."

After the Sheng family affair was over, I returned to Jincheng. Everyone else, except Shah and me, stayed in Qingfeng County.

"During the summer vacation after our junior year of high school, we used Shah's technology to 'help' many victims like Cheng Yang. KING's reputation grew, and even the police took notice of us."

"But thanks to Shah's skills, we evaded the tracking. The police didn't even focus their investigation on us. Perhaps they didn't expect that the KING team was actually made up of minors."

"And because we didn't cause too much trouble, no one died, we just made the real criminals receive their due punishment, ha..." Shen Jiming chuckled, "To be honest, back then the police mostly turned a blind eye to us."

"After I returned to Jincheng, I quickly entered a new school to study for my senior year of high school. Because of the heavy workload in my senior year, I gradually lost contact with my friends."

"Back then, everyone was preparing for their senior year of high school."

"The third brother and Huai'an both said that they want to take the police academy entrance exam in the future. Their grades are not very good, so they are working extra hard."

"Shah was already in university at the time and had also taken over his family's company, so he was relatively relaxed."

"KING said he wanted to study abroad. Although Mo Yan became the heir of the Sheng family, his position as heir was not stable. He had no background or strength, and his father didn't care about him at all."

"So he made a pact with King to go abroad for further studies."

"I applied to art school, and Lao Qi is preparing to apply to medical school..."

"Starting from the second half of our senior year, our 'activities' decreased significantly, as everyone was striving for their ideals."

"But I never expected... something would happen during that time."

Shen Jiming slowly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Shen Ji. "It's... about Su Qian."
