Until the moment of his death, the old man standing in front of Chen Yan obviously couldn't believe that Chen Yan actually dared to kill him so openly.
The astonishment in his eyes and the expression of disbelief on his face showed how drastically the old man's emotions were fluctuating.
Even though he is approaching 70 years old, in fact, for such a powerful figure, even if he is approaching 70 years old, he can still be considered to be in his prime.
The richer and more powerful a person is, the less time he has to live. If this incident had not happened, under normal circumstances, he would have at least been able to live for another 30 years or so.
From the perspective of quality of life, these thirty years can definitely be called a paradise-like life.
But he happened to betray Chen Yan, so Chen Yan killed him without hesitation. He didn't even have time to feel a little regretful before he lost all consciousness.
Chen Yan has no habit of torturing others.
Since the decision has been made to kill, it must be done cleanly and directly.
Letting the old man's body fall to the ground, Chen Yan turned his head to look at the other old men in the yard and found that their expressions were a little dull.
A smile appeared on his face, and Chen Yan said, "I am just like this. As long as I have no morals, then morality cannot hold me back. I find that this world is sometimes very badass. The kinder people are, the easier they are to be bullied. The more villainous they are, the better they can live.
Because everyone knows that bullying a good person only brings benefits without having to bear any costs. But if you bully a bad person, you have to be wary of their resentment and ambitions. As a result, the world is becoming increasingly confusing and infuriating.
Whoever follows the rules will suffer. Whoever is unreasonable will gain the upper hand. Killing and setting fires will earn you a gold belt, while building roads and bridges will leave no corpses. How can this be justified? I'm not a good person, nor do I have any moral quirks. I only have one principle: whoever dares to provoke me, I will kill him!
Several old men fell into silence.
Chen Yan acted too decisively and didn't give them any chance to argue. Even though they reacted at this moment, the matter had already been decided and it was too late for them to say anything.
However, perhaps it was precisely because of Chen Yan's clear attitude of distinguishing right from wrong that the elderly people did not feel worried.
Even if there were no other defensive measures in the yard at this time, if Chen Yan had malicious intentions, he would definitely be able to wipe them all out in an instant.
Of course…even if there were defensive measures, they would probably be useless.
No matter how strict the defense measures are, can they be more powerful than tactical nuclear bombs?
Since even tactical nuclear bombs can't hurt him at all, it's better to be frank and sincere enough to avoid making enemies for some inexplicable reasons.
Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of several old men, and their eyes looking at Chen Yan were full of complex and incomprehensible meanings.
After a while, the big shot who had been in private contact with Chen Yan sighed heavily.
He nodded and said, "Repay evil with kindness. How do you repay kindness? Repay evil with justice. Repay kindness with kindness. From a personal point of view, I don't think you did anything wrong. But from our point of view, you have given us a big problem. How do you want us to announce the cause of his death?"
Chen Yan said without hesitation: "Of course I tell the truth! He betrayed me, so he is naturally an enemy spy. And besides me, how much confidential information has he betrayed over the years? It's impossible that he climbed all the way up and only betrayed me, right?
This is the fundamental reason why I cannot accept your announcement of his death. He committed so many evil things, and he still wants to preserve his reputation after his death? Impossible. Death and destruction are not allowed in my opinion. Even in death, he must be held accountable for his deeds.
The big shot narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly, saying, "I can promise you, but the relevant news reports can only be vague. It's impossible to broadcast everything he has done. We will do as you wish and bring him to ruin. This includes suppressing his family and relatives, and we will do it in secret."
But this isn't ancient times, after all. We don't practice the so-called "execution of an entire family." At most, we'll bring his relatives and friends down to dust, allowing them to live ordinary lives. As for anyone else involved in this incident, whether directly or indirectly, we won't let any of them go. What do you think?"
Chen Yan thought about it and agreed, "If that's the case, I have no problem with that. I'll sort out the relevant intelligence and evidence later and give it to you to prevent you from being misled by some disguised false clues. Also, there's one more thing I need to let you know in advance."
Having said that, Chen Yan's eyes swept across the faces of several elderly people one by one.
After seeing the elders regain their focus, he continued, "I'm working hard to investigate all the spies hiding in the country. Whether they have an open identity or are hiding in the dark. No matter if they are big fish or small shrimp, we can find them all.
It will take about a month for me to give you a detailed list. If you need more detailed information, including various evidence and what information they have sold, it will take about three to six months to get it."
Several old men opened their eyes wide, and their breathing became heavy.
"Are you serious? There are at least thousands of spies hiding in our country, just the core ones. If we count all the ones that have been developed, big and small, there must be tens of thousands of them. We can only estimate a number, but we can't pinpoint the specific individuals. Can you really catch them all?"
The big shot asked slightly excitedly.
Chen Yan said with certainty, "Although I often joke, I'm telling the truth about this matter. In short, the list will be ready in one month, and the evidence will be ready in three months at the shortest. I'm telling you now so you can prepare in advance and avoid being caught off guard. I believe that if you prepare in advance, you will definitely gain huge benefits."
The big shot pondered, "I see. If we can truly obtain such a list, the contribution to the country will be no less than the complete battle group information you previously provided. You truly are... able to surprise us from time to time. As for your betrayal, let us deal with the aftermath. They've even used tactical nuclear bombs. We have to make them bleed heavily, otherwise, wouldn't the bombs be just something anyone could drop at will?"
