Chapter 339 -339: Conversation Between Grandfather and Grandson (Part 2)
“Secondly, you should be well aware of what kind of person Shang Kaijie is and whether he deserves to die. The incidents with little girls you’ve looked into, the reckless disregard for life, are not his first offenses. On my desk, there’s information that, at the age of fifteen, Shang Kaijie desecrated a ten-year-old girl from the darkness in his heart. Because Shang Feng pulled some strings and Shang Kaijie was a minor, they managed to bury the issue with money.”
“Yet, Shang Kaijie still hasn’t learned his lesson and continues to harm others. Those girls were all innocent and naive, the oldest barely eleven or twelve. If those children were your sisters, could you still hold a tolerant attitude towards Shang Kaijie? Could you still believe that his crimes do not warrant death?” 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
The grandfather sighed; his grandson, due to his privileged upbringing, was truly incapable of empathetic consideration.
This was a serious flaw.
He couldn’t understand that profound loathing, and even though he was disgusted with Shang Kaijie to the point of wanting to kill, his upbringing and sense of the bigger picture would never allow him to do such a thing. This child lacked passion and fervor. Perhaps Doctor Bai Xiao could be the very stimulus to give Jiang Shaoqing a taste of life’s vibrancy.
“Grandfather, I understand now!”
“You still don’t understand! No matter what Bai Xiao did, I actually admire her decisive ruthlessness. She has the ability to silence people without a trace, which is truly a skill. And Shang Kaijie, he deserved far more than death. If such a person were allowed to live, who knows how many more little girls he would prey on? Shang Kaijie is very adept at escaping legal punishment. Your concern for the big picture could potentially imperil even more lives.
Won’t you feel guilty one day when you look at the reports before you? Because of your so-called social order, a great evil person could roam free, wreaking havoc on the world?” The old man leisurely finished his bowl of porridge.
“On the contrary, I think Doctor Bai did a good job. She met violence with violence while still managing to protect herself without implicating her own safety at all—the epitome of chivalry. I like such a girl.” The old man left these words as he went upstairs.
Jiang Shaoqing sat at the table, motionless, chopsticks untouched.
Indeed.
What had Bai Xiao done wrong?
Apart from evading legal sanctions, what else had she done wrong?
Should Shang Kaijie be pitied? How could a demon with such proclivities simply stop? In that city, children have already died because of Shang Kaijie, and others may still harbor unhealing inner scars, possibly for a lifetime.
But what could anyone do about Shang Kaijie?
Apart from killing him, there seemed little else one could do.
Expect Shang Kaijie to turn himself in?
What a joke!
If Shang Kaijie were to do that, he wouldn’t have endlessly harmed those children without any boundaries. Shang Kaijie had already shown himself to be utterly without limits.
He quietly picked up his bowl and served himself some red bean porridge.
Perhaps he had been too quick to judge.
Thinking about what the report said, Shang Kaijie had been scheming the previous night with his hoodlum friends, looking to recruit some thugs for a job. Though it wasn’t disclosed what it was, Shang Kaijie mentioned that he needed to make a trip out of town, intending to ruin a woman’s reputation.
The thugs he had found were of the sort notorious for preying on women, what they were tasked with was obvious.
The destination and the targeted woman all pointed towards Bai Xiao.
If Shang Kaijie didn’t die, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before Bai Xiao and her family were in danger.
He had totally confused cause and effect.
If Bai Xiao didn’t claim Shang Kaijie’s life, her own would be at stake!
If he couldn’t guess what Shang Kaijie was planning, then he wasn’t Jiang Shaoqing.
