Chapter 106
The next day, a man with a haggard face attracted the attention of people all over the Blue Continent.
He appeared in front of the lobby of the District D Council, kneeling in this place that symbolizes the political and cultural center of the Blue Continent, holding a dead child with a black face in his arms.
Public opinion exploded again. After all, he was one of the prominent scholars in Blue Continent: Dr. Yu Zhaozhong, who also worked under Bai Tiao.
He knelt in front of the square, his expression stubborn, but his eyes filled with deep resentment as he stared at the large characters on the wall in front of the council's gate.
It is the famous saying of the first chief of Blue Continent - life is eternal.
Clearly, what he had experienced made him feel that the current leadership of Blue Island Base had failed to live up to these words.
Just half an hour ago, he came to Blue Island with his child suffering from fluorescent disease.
Unexpectedly, the inhibitor he bought halfway was lost, and the fluorescent spots on the child's face could not be hidden, causing panic among the people. He could not afford the price of buying more inhibitors. Due to all these chaos, he missed the best opportunity to save the child.
Recently, the customs on both sides of the Blue Continent and Xia Kingdom have been very relaxed, and Bai Tiao's inhibitors are sold at high prices, so many patients with fluorescence disease come to Blue Continent to buy medicine, including some poor people who have nowhere else to go.
But because of the history and culture of Blue Continent, the ocean people hate the land people, especially those who suffer from fluorescent disease.
Fluorescence disease is transmitted in a very similar way to AIDS, so people who get it are naturally considered to be indecent and annoying.
Therefore, even though Yu Zhaozhong was a high-tech technician at Blue Island, he still had to hide it from his work unit and secretly deliver medicine to his sick wife and daughter who were still on land.
The above examples are sufficient to illustrate the irreconcilable hatred between ocean people and land people.
Just like An Jing invited Zhang Lan to perform at Lanzhou, this female star with a special identity was once a profitable person in the current trend, and she stimulated the group of people suffering from fluorescence disease.
Her death was entirely due to the conflict between the two cultures.
Having said that, Dr. Yu Zhaozhong is different. He is a man with strong family values. Even though he came to Blue Island for personal development, he did not abandon his wife and daughter who suffered from fluorescence disease on land.
His daughter died in Lanzhou, and he had no way to explain himself. In a moment of desperation, he resorted to this desperate measure and ran to kneel before the board of directors.
An Jing arrived at the scene within minutes of the incident. Fortunately, when he arrived, Dr. Yu Zhaozhong had already been invited into the board of directors.
To be more precise, he was dragged in. At that moment, he was limp all over and in a trance. He was only concerned with holding the child who was suffering from a fluorescent disease attack in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
The female inspector tried to comfort him and patiently asked him what had happened, but Yu Zhaozhong received no response. He murmured, "What should I do? The medicine is lost... What should I do... How should I explain this to the child's mother..."
"He's just upset. Let's wait until he recovers." The male inspector replied.
Only An Jing, upon arriving at the scene, looked on with a cold, piercing gaze, a surge of sympathy and self-blame welling up in his heart. Because, as he had predicted, after Yu Zhaozhong lost the only inhibitor in his pocket, the girl died of fluorescence disease due to ineffective rescue.
However, it was obvious that he was only hurt for a moment. For the future of Lanzhou, An Jing felt that any necessary sacrifice was worth it.
"Have you seen the online public opinion?" An Jing said calmly, "Our great hero, Dr. Bai's inhibitor, has become a trending topic. Finally, someone dares to criticize her."
These words seemed to have a hidden meaning. The two inspectors, one male and one female, changed their expressions slightly and fell silent again. After all, they were not in Anjing and did not dare to say such words that were not conducive to unity.
Coincidentally, public opinion and media finally followed An Jing's ideas.
Netizen: No way, Yu Zhaozhong is a member of the Central Academy of Science and Technology after all, can't he afford the inhibitors?
Netizen: Shouldn't the question be his stance? He is already a Blue Ocean person, so why hasn't he drawn a clear line with his wife on land, and he even secretly buys medicine for his wife and daughter at the base?
Netizen: "I already said they are my wife and daughter. They are living apart. What's wrong with taking care of them? Are you still human? Saying such hurtful words."
Netizen: Yes, the medicines sold at the base are cheaper than those sold in Xia Country, and there is no tax. Inhibitors on land are very expensive and sell for tens of thousands.
Netizen: What’s going on in our Lanzhou recently? Things like this keep happening. Is there someone behind the scenes? Why are there murders every day?
An Jing withdrew his gaze, sighed lightly, and his eyes were solemn and deep. He was stroking something with his hand in his right pocket.
Obviously, he was the only one who knew that this was the inhibitor that Yu Zhaozhong's child had lost.
He is the indirect murderer behind all this.
It was obvious that it was difficult to awaken the minds of the masses. Cruelty flashed in An Jing's amber eyes. He thought that a revolution without bloodshed would not be thorough.
The fact that Anjing's plan has aroused such a huge social response is a success in itself.
Thinking of this, An Jing walked into the bathroom, took off his shirt, revealing his upper body, and looked at his lungs which were completely fluorescent. He knew that if he continued to smoke fruit cigarettes, he would not live long.
An Jing raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror. He was already in the late stage of fluorescence disease. His eyes were red, but there was still a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
"At least, I'll die a worthy death," An Jing told himself. "I've experienced everything in this life. It's worth it. I've dedicated my life to the greatest cause in the world: liberating humanity. It's worth it."

At the same time, Lawyer Bian, who was far away in District F, had his eyelids twitching. He rubbed his eyebrows and was about to continue reading the documents when he was stopped by a colleague.
"Lawyer Bian, have you been online? Did you know something big happened in District D?" Li Yuan, a male colleague two years his senior, handed him a bracelet and said, "They say no one at the Central Institute of Science and Technology can afford his boss Bai Tiao's medicine. Tsk tsk."
Lawyer Bian also opened his bracelet to check, and saw Secretary An Jing who was being interviewed.
He was talking freely, avoiding the important issues and speaking some official language, but he expressed deep sympathy and concern for Dr. Yu Zhaozhong's experience.
He is still so shining and high above.
Lawyer Bian sighed and said, "Since someone has died, I guess the higher-ups will definitely hold a meeting to rectify this medical chaos."
"I've heard before that Bai Tiao is more like a combination of politics, business, and medicine. Today I see that her reputation is well-deserved. Look, first there was the female celebrity, and now there's Dr. Yu. Two people died, and both were related to her selling drugs, and she is surprisingly not hurt at all."
Li Yuan snorted twice and shook his head with a look of regret.
Bian Lu had a solemn expression on his face as he looked out the window at the unchanging and monotonous scenery. He had some understanding of what An Jing was doing. While he admired him, he was also a little worried about him... The most important thing was that God was watching what he did, so could he get away with it?
Just then, the bracelet vibrated. An Jing sent a message with a very strange question: "Do you think I can be redeemed after doing so many bad things?"
Bian Lu frowned, deleted several of his answers, and finally said, "As long as your heart is righteous, good and evil are just a judgment made by the secular world."
An Jing didn't reply for a long time before he said: I'll come to see you after get off work and we'll go for a ride.
Bian Lu smiled and said okay to him.
District F is the least developed and remote area in Blue Continent. It has the most abandoned factories and mountains of garbage. After get off work, Lawyer Bian waited for An Jing at the intersection, with a conspicuous traffic light behind him.
Nearly 40 minutes later, An Jing arrived at his destination in his Blue Star sedan. He didn't get out of the car. Dressed in all black, he pulled down his sunglasses and smiled at him, saying, "Come in. What's so fun to do in District F? Anyway, let's go to District A and find a bar."
Bian Lu nodded, got on the passenger seat, reached out the window, and squinted his eyes facing the wind of the sunset under the sea.
"If I die one day, please do me a favor." An Jing was calm and smiled calmly. He took out a small cube from his pocket and threw it to Bian Lu.
"Why do you say that?" Bian Lu took it. Of course he recognized that this was Lu Chao. He thought An Jing had a quarrel with someone and it was a joke.
An Jing pushed up his sunglasses and said, "Lu Chao is a good person, but he accidentally became like this. His biggest dream is to have true human rights. Honestly, I really want to help him."
"Why are you talking so incoherently today? What's wrong?" asked Lawyer Bian.
An Jing drove very fast, saying in the whistling wind, "To be honest, I have fluorescent disease. I won't live for many more days, haha."
"An Jing!" Bian Lu suddenly became anxious. While paying attention to the soaring speed of the car, he shouted in a stern voice: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?"
"Comrade Bian Lu, I'm not kidding," An Jing replied. He finally took off his sunglasses, revealing his red eyes. "People can't live just for so-called love. I have more important things to do than you. Of course, I am seriously ill. I used to always ponder the meaning of life, but now I don't worry about it anymore. I've truly gained enlightenment!"
As he spoke, An Jing stepped on the accelerator, and the car accelerated again, the wind almost blowing his sunglasses off. He laughed with a sense of relief that Bian Lu couldn't understand, and said, "This is the freedom I want—"
Bian Lu narrowed his eyes, sensing an inexplicable wail amidst his emotions. After a long pause, only after An Jing stopped the car, did he say, "I understand, An Jing. I'm so foolish, so stupid. Only today do I truly understand you."
An Jing turned his head away and frowned.
"You don't belong to anyone at all. You are yourself." Bian Lu said this, got out of the car, stood under the road sign, took a deep breath, and finally said: "It seems that you and I can only be friends. And, only friends."
"Ah?" An Jing got out of the car. He was about to speak when Bian Lu came by. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted in shock, "An Jing, get down!"
An Jing turned around and was hit in the chest with a bang. He couldn't see the fleeing man in black in the pool of blood.
"Don't panic! Don't sleep!" Bian Lu rushed over, hugged An Jing, and said, "I'll take you to the hospital right away. It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."
