For the sake of her daughter, Meira squandered the money that belonged to Lin En for leg treatment, thinking that it was right for her own sake.
Then Linn doesn't want money now, vents his anger from his own point of view, and directly destroys Meira's legs, is it also right?
You can't just apologize for infringing on my interests. If I infringe on your interests, you can't agree to it.
"I, I know I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Please, let me go..." Seeing Lin En pull out the gun, Meira felt even more weak and her scalp was numb, knowing that she
I ran into big trouble today.
"I won't let you go." Linn refused clearly and pointed the gun at Meira's knees.
"I still have a daughter, and she is still waiting for me to support her. I can't let anything happen to me. I really can't let anything happen to me..."
Lin En clutched the gun tightly: "Three years ago, I also raised my younger brother. When you pocketed my life-saving money to save your daughter, didn't you think about me? What would happen to my younger brother?"
"It's all my husband..." Meera trembled, "Without him... nothing, nothing would have happened... You... you should take revenge on my husband..."
"Everything is not a reason for you to steal my life-saving money." Lin En was particularly determined in her heart, "Just because you live a miserable life and have a terrible husband doesn't mean you can deprive other people who live miserable lives of their own.
hope."
Lin En knew that the reason why things had developed to this point was because of Meira's husband, a gambler.
If Meera had confessed to him early on and spent the rest of her life trying to compensate for the harm he had suffered, then he might choose to understand, forgive, and in turn help her get rid of this garbage entanglement.
But Meera failed him.
In this situation, if you continue to ignore yourself and consider the other person, you will definitely die without knowing how.
"Please... I will really try my best to return the money to you... I kept it from you before because I was confused for a moment..."
"That's enough." Linn felt that Meira's defense was particularly noisy.
He didn't believe that Meila needed exactly five hundred gold to redeem her daughter.
He even didn't believe that Meira, who only visited him once, really felt guilty.
It's useless to say more.
It's time to turn the page.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet accurately embedded itself in the knee of Meira's left leg.
"Ah!" Meira collapsed to the ground, trembling and covering her legs, screaming.
There was also a commotion nearby because of the clear gunshot.
"I won't kill you or destroy both of your legs. I want to tell you that people always have to give an explanation for the past and what they have done. But I will not become a person like you, because I am pitiful
, as if you can be selfish openly." Linn put away the gun, "This matter is over. Of course, if you want the sheriff to arrest me, I don't mind playing with you more."
After saying that, Linn walked towards the other side.
After taking three or four steps, he stopped, turned his back to Meira and said, "The last thing I want to say is that I regret saving someone like you three years ago."
It was half past six and it was already very dark.
After the settlement, Lin En, who had officially turned over the past, disappeared into the darkness, activated [Teleport], and in just one minute, he was far enough away from the scene of the incident, and walked toward him like a normal person.
Walk to the old house.
He was not worried that Meera would report the crime.
First of all, it was Meira who was in the wrong, and she was sorry for herself. Not only did she not provide help to her benefactor, she also took away the benefactor's life-saving money. She only crippled one of her legs, so she was already very tolerant.
Secondly, Meira didn't have the courage. She knew that she knew many important people, and if she really started to cause trouble, she wouldn't get any benefits at all. Instead, it would anger her frustrated benefactor even more, making her own situation worse.
Thirdly, even if Meera reported the case, she would still have a way to solve it.
"Huh..." Lin En exhaled as she walked in the narrow alley that smelled of stench.
Nothing seems to have changed.
Taking revenge on Meera failed to make him feel relieved.
Having done good deeds and being harmed by the offender and the victim is really too heavy.
Fortunately among misfortunes, it is myself who knows the truth, not the original body.
If the original person, who had spent more than a thousand days and nights in despair, learned that the woman he had saved with his legs was not only ungrateful to him, but also pocketed his life-saving money, he would probably collapse immediately.
Three years after his leg was crushed by a powerful man, the original person was not completely defeated and turned into a rotten person who willingly degenerated.
But after discovering this incident, I realized that I was like a joke. My original decision was extremely stupid. In all likelihood, I would fall down, and my two legs that were still mentally sound would be really crushed.
In such a world, it is too difficult to be a good person.
Lin En looked up at the dim sky.
He remembered the words of the former world-famous writer Romain Rolland:
There is only one true heroism in the world, which is to still love life after seeing the truth of life clearly.
This sentence is also applicable in this world.
There is only one true heroism in the world, which is to still fight for equality after seeing clearly the despicability of human nature.
"Ha..." He chuckled jokingly to himself as he walked.
How easy is it to do this?
But really do it.
No matter how hopeless a person is, we are committed to building a new world where everyone is equal, united, free, beautiful, and selfless.
Very great.
It's not ignorance, it's not being a bad person, it's greatness.
In the afternoon, Lin En shared his views with Reiner at the Fernando family mansion.
He believes that people are selfish, whether they are the lower class or the powerful.
Therefore, if you want to achieve equality and eliminate selfishness, you must be prepared to endure loneliness. Don't hope that people at the bottom will strongly support you and regard you as a god.
In fact, he still has half of his point unsaid.
The remaining half is that he believes that since Reiner wants to change the world, in addition to starting a battle to defeat the powerful and fight for equality, he must also launch a battle to eliminate selfishness from the people at the bottom.
Let the undisciplined, powerless and conservative people who have not been educated and cannot understand the world correctly learn to think and understand society.
Right now:
Don't expect anything from the people.
Don't lose faith in them either.
Lin En, who thought a lot on the road, finally felt much more stable after walking to the door of the old house.
He first looked inside the window and saw that the lights were on inside. Matt and Capa were sitting together eating, then he opened the door and walked in.
"Brother?! Why are you here?" Matt saw Linn appear and was stunned for two seconds before shouting in surprise.
Lynn closed the door and looked at Matt.
He felt that Matt had lost weight just after not seeing him for a few days: "After finishing my work, I came over to see you and tell you something."
"Sit down, sit down. Brother, have you eaten?" Matt stood up, gave up his seat, and let Lin sit down.
Lin En sniffed the dinner Matt bought and found it was quite fragrant: "I didn't have time to eat it."
"Then just wait, I'll go out and buy some more." Matt didn't know that Lynn was coming back, so he only bought one for two people.
"No -" Linn didn't want to trouble Matt, but before he could stop him, Matt, who was extremely happy to see him, had already picked up his coat and left the door.
"Haha, Matt misses you very much." Capa said with a smile.
Lin En sat down and nodded slightly: "After all, we are each other's only remaining relatives."
"How is the situation outside? My body is almost ready and I can leave for the imperial capital at any time." If he hadn't made an appointment with Lin En to wait until he came back to talk, Capa, who had already lost his patience, would have left two days ago.
.
"The investigation has come to an end..." Lin En concealed the key information and roughly shared with Capa the investigation status of the Public Security Bureau, "...so the Public Security Bureau personnel on the main access roads have been removed in the past few days. As long as they are properly prepared,
, it’s not difficult to leave Tswold City without anyone noticing.”
"Then I'll leave tonight." Capa felt quite depressed after being locked in the small room for so long.
"There's no rush, just give me two or three days to make arrangements." Linn comforted Capa.
He has decided to go to the Imperial Capital with Reiner to practice and do something meaningful.
Well, if you're not sure, you can take Capa with you.
"What are the arrangements?"
"I may also want to go to the Imperial Capital, so I don't know if we can go together. Please wait for me for a few days and let me settle things here first." Lin En didn't mind revealing his intentions.
If it's convenient to take Kappa with you, let's go together.
If it's inconvenient, then just say you won't go and arrange for Kappa to go first. There is no conflict.
Capa's eyes widened, thinking that Lin En was planning to go to the imperial capital with him to redress his grievances and seek justice from a higher authority: "This is too dangerous, I can do it alone. Besides, I am the only one who is exposed now.
Even if I get caught, it doesn't matter. You still have a brother, so as long as you don't get involved, nothing will happen."
"Let's talk about this matter. Anyway, if you wait a few more days, if there is no problem, we will leave on the 13th." Lin En did not elaborate on the reason with Capa.
"...Thank you." Capa could only say thank you.
Thank you Lynn for going to the warehouse to save yourself.
Thanks to Lin En for keeping him by your side during the city-wide martial law.
Thanks to Lynn for being willing to follow her to seek justice.
Lin En shook his head and waved his hands, not paying attention to it: "The more difficult it is, the more we should support each other."
"Um."
"Brother!" After a while, Matt came back out of breath and bought another sumptuous food, "It's still warm, come and eat."
"Why are you so anxious? You shouldn't run around just after eating, you know?" Linn gave Matt a helpless reminder, then squeezed around to make some room for Matt to sit down together and continue eating.
"Brother, what are your plans here? Do you want to escort reporter Capa away?" Matt asked with concern, "Is there anything I can do to help? I can quietly take Capa to our warehouse, and then
Find an opportunity for him to hide in the truck and follow the truck out of Tswold City."
It seems that Matt has not been idle these days, and has already helped Linn and Capa come up with a plan to leave the city.
Linn patted the enthusiastic Matt: "Don't worry, I can just arrange this matter here. I came here just to tell Capa that I will leave the city in the next few days."
"All right."
"And you, you can resign tomorrow. It doesn't matter whether your salary is paid or not. In the past few days, apart from escorting Capa out of the city, I have arranged for you to enroll in school." Lin En said.
"I...can I study?" Matt was stunned and murmured.
Lin En said: "Yes, I will arrange for you to study in the best school in Tswold City. Apart from studying with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about anything else."
"Brother...thank you." After regaining the opportunity to study, Matt didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only thank Lynn stiffly.
Lin En couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Why do you think you are so outspoken? You are my brother and I am your brother, what can you thank me for? Go ahead and learn what you want to learn, I will always support you.
