“I tried calling the police before, but I hung up before I could dial because I was afraid that these people had influence in the police station and that it would alert them, so I called you instead.”
"I see."
Jiang Cheng dialed You Lixuan's number, barely managing to calm his restless heart.
"Hello? Is this Old Yu?"
"Professor Jiang, please speak."
"Why are there still children begging on the streets of Lanjing City? Are you aware of this?"
There was an unusual silence on the other end of the phone.
There was no sound for a minute.
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "Speak!"
"I know······"
"Do you know that these beggars are organized? And that they may have been deliberately maimed!"
"Um."
"What do you mean by 'huh'? As one of the top leaders in Lanjing, is this how you manage things? Do I need to explain how egregious this incident is???"
"Professor Jiang, please calm down. I can't control this matter even if I wanted to. They have powerful forces in Kyoto behind them, and their influence is deeply entrenched. Beneath the surface lies a vast network of influence that I can't bring down by myself."
It's rare to see someone as decisive and efficient as You Lixuan say there's a day when he can't do something.
Ke Bing listened nervously to their conversation from inside the car.
It seems that, just as she thought, the desperate little girl still lying under the streetlight is merely a microcosm of the chaotic social phenomena.
Perhaps behind her are countless other children who have suffered the same fate.
They were like rats living in the underground tunnels of Lanjing, avoiding the light and living in gloom all day long. The reason why their eyes were filled with despair was because they could never see any hope.
Why was the girl oblivious to the rain falling from the sky, and why was she blind to the dirt on her face?
Perhaps, she's gotten used to it.
"Fine, fine!" Jiang Cheng coldly uttered two "fine" words. He never imagined that under the bright light of day, beneath the increasingly better urban construction and spotless streets of Lanjing, he was completely oblivious to the underlying issues.
It also hides such disgusting and rotten things.
"Now I'm telling you, You Lixuan, you'll receive a call from Kyoto in three minutes. I will fully support you. If you feel you're not qualified enough, then you can represent me."
Jiang Cheng's tone was icy. At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary student at Lanjing University of Science and Technology, nor was he an eighteen-year-old boy.
Instead, he is the vice president of the Kyoto Institute of Biotechnology and the Energy Technology Institute.
He is a leader among young Chinese researchers!
Jiang Cheng hung up the phone, and Gu Qingwan immediately understood and began contacting the Kyoto side.
Within three minutes, Academician Zhong Yingzhe learned of this.
Academician Chen Shi learned about this.
They reported it to their superiors.
After resting with his eyes closed for a while, You Lixuan received instructions from a bigwig in Kyoto.
Just two simple words, brief and blunt.
Yet it contains boundless power.
The two characters are "夷平" (yí píng).
Jiang Cheng should do what he wants to do, and everything that stands in his way should be leveled.
Run them over, and ignore those so-called forces.
No matter how complex the background, it cannot compare to even a fraction of Jiangcheng's power.
Ke Bing stared at him intently from inside the car.
A small woman like her could not imagine how many people would be saved or how many would go to jail because of her seeking help.
She found the right person by looking for Jiang Cheng.
Ke Bing looked at the disabled little girl in the rain, got up and got out of the car, and walked over with Jiang Cheng, holding an umbrella.
The shoes stepped into the puddles, creating ripples.
Countless passersby ignored them, but they walked over.
For the first twenty years of her life, Ke Bing suffered all kinds of unfair treatment, so having been rained on herself, she always wanted to hold an umbrella for others.
The little girl, lying down, was counting the coins in the bowl, "One, two, three."
I'm going to get a beating again when I get back, sigh...
That's what she was thinking.
Suddenly, the rain stopped, and a shadow fell over her.
The little girl looked up in surprise and saw Jiang Cheng, who had a handsome face and was wearing a suit, as well as the girl who often gave her alms.
"Don't be afraid..." Ke Bing squatted down and said gently.
······
Are you going to do this?
"I want."
The pedestrians on the street froze, Jiang Cheng held an umbrella beside Ke Bing.
He was already used to this kind of scene.
Because whenever the scene freezes, the incredibly ugly Laplace's demon appears, staring at him with its pale yellow pupils.
“That little girl deserves to die, you’ve done something wrong again.”
"No one in the world deserves to die, and I insist on doing what I believe is right."
"Wrong!! Utterly wrong!!" The neutral voice finally took on some emotion, and Laplace's fur stood on end. Its tone in Jiang Cheng's ears became sharp and angry.
It stared fiercely at Jiang Cheng's face, as if it wanted to bite him to death.
“I told you that everything in fate is predetermined, and everything you do is a variable. She is destined to beg on the streets until she dies, and not just her! All the children in Lanjing who suffer and fall into hell are! You cannot change any of this!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng looked directly into Laplace's eyes and asked, "Why?"
"It's up to fate."
"What the hell is fate? Are you suggesting I just stand by and watch this little girl die in the rain without doing anything?"
"You insist on defying me, and you will pay the price..."
