Chapter 3225: It Must Have Other Wonderful Uses

Lin Waner's words left Ye Chen silent for a long time.

He knew that what Lin Waner said was very objective and also very realistic.

One time unexpected, one time feinting east to strike west.

After these two times, Wu Feiyan will absolutely not give himself another chance to retreat unharmed.

By then, if he still wants to destroy the death squad garrison, it will be very difficult to bring the remaining death squads away.

In this way, he will face a choice.

Whether to strike the garrison of the Anti-Qing Society, annihilate its living forces, completely disregarding the life and death of those death squads, or to avoid harming those death squads and their families, abandon the strike on the garrison.

It seems choosing either will feel inappropriate.

At this time, Ye Chen asked Lin Waner: "If I give them the antidote, let them each escape with their lives?"

Lin Waner sighed: "Those death squads have almost never lived in society, have no legal identity, and also do not control any means of production. Young Master, even if you give them the antidote and let them escape with their lives, they will probably still find it hard to escape the Anti-Qing Society's pursuit. If each is given some cash, the cash for several thousand people alone would probably require several suitcases, which is even more unrealistic. Of course, the Anti-Qing Society would also find it hard to kill them all completely, and more or less some people would still gain freedom, but out of ten people, perhaps not two or three could survive."

Ye Chen asked her: "What if I give them the antidote, and then hand over the problem to the government of the country where the garrison is located to solve? The local government should be able to protect the safety of these people."

Lin Waner thought for a moment, then said: "For any country, this kind of thing would be considered a major scandal in the field of national security. Whoever it is would keep it secret, and moreover these death squads are not their citizens. I am not sure whether these countries will protect them, and the probability of expulsion might be even greater. In that case, the danger would actually be greater."

Saying this, Lin Waner said: "If one takes a harsher view of this problem, Young Master only needs to ask Inspector Li for help, using his criminal investigation awareness, as well as the computing power of the AI model and the data and surveillance capabilities of Skyline, then one should be able to search out most of the death squad garrisons of the Anti-Qing Society. Young Master can simply hand over this information to the government of the country where the garrison is located. As long as they have not yet been completely infiltrated by the Anti-Qing Society, they will certainly not allow such a time-bomb-like organization to exist on their own territory. By then, without Young Master lifting a finger, these national governments and armies will do their utmost to eradicate the death squad garrisons..."

Ye Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, he frowned and said: "In this way, these death squads and the Jinyiwei will basically have only a dead end, because once Wu Feiyan decides to sacrifice an arm to survive, she does not even need to act against these death squads herself; she only needs to abandon the garrison, pay no attention to it, and hand over the death squads and Jinyiwei to the local government to deal with. The death squads' desperate resistance will be killed by government troops, surrendering and yet unable to obtain the antidote, they will soon all die. Even if they surrender, there is no valuable clue they can reveal to the government, after all, everything they know about the Anti-Qing Society's secrets is only what is in their own garrison. Once the garrison is taken, the secrets naturally lose all meaning."

Speaking, Ye Chen sighed lightly: "If this method is used, those death squads and Jinyiwei will ultimately find it hard to escape death."

Lin Waner nodded lightly, saying: "The death squads and their families may number tens of thousands or even more. Young Master must face reality; saving them one by one is simply impossible."

Ye Chen blurted out: "I understand the reasoning Miss Lin speaks of, but concerning the lives of tens of thousands, I cannot bear to abandon them to death."

Lin Waner sighed, then spoke loudly: "Young Master is not a deity; do not burden yourself with too much pressure. Although the fate of the death squads is tragic, the innocent people they have killed are even more tragic. For hundreds of years, although the death squads have been trapped under Wu Feiyan, they have also been accomplices to evil, participating in village massacres and city slaughters repeatedly. Some death squads have suffered endless torment themselves, yet when facing innocent people, they become even more cruel and brutal. Many of their crimes I have witnessed with my own eyes—truly enough to make bamboo slips insufficient to record them. Even if handed over to the law, many would still deserve the death penalty. Therefore I implore Young Master: do not be overly merciful toward them, and do not, because of your mercy toward them, put yourself in danger."

While saying these words, Lin Waner firmly thought in her heart: "Young Master is kind-hearted; if you cannot make this decision, then let me play the villain!"

Ye Chen listened to Lin Waner's words, pondered for a long time, then suddenly recalled something and asked: "Miss Lin, if I can bring the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office under my control, then the death squads under his command will also be at my disposal? I also need not urgently provide antidotes for these death squads, because Wu Feiyan will continue to supply them."

Lin Waner's pair of clear eyes suddenly flashed with a glint, and she blurted out: "Wu Feiyan has always been like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail; even the Grand Commander of the Five Great Commander-in-Chief's Offices rarely gets to see her. This also means that if Young Master truly has the opportunity to take the Grand Commander of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office for his own use, Wu Feiyan will probably find it difficult to discover."

After saying that, she added with some worry: "The Wu family are Wu Feiyan's true direct lineage. According to what I know, they all have some cultivation to some extent; even those without innate talent for enlightenment have been forcibly enlightened by Wu Feiyan. If Young Master wants to control their minds, he must still look at their specific cultivation situation. Moreover, if there is someone like me, then Young Master's plan would probably be difficult to push forward."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "If this time I can confirm the identity of the Grand Commander of the Right Army Commander-in-Chief's Office, I can try to find a breakthrough from him."

……

For Ye Chen and Lin Waner, who has taken the Eternal Green Pill, the long journey in the night basically feels no fatigue at all.

And the two also greatly enjoy this feeling of being able to chat openly, with no secrets or scruples.

To each other, they are the only ones who can share all secrets, and the interior of the moving vehicle can be said to be one of the most private environments, so here they can naturally speak freely.

The two talked from the Anti-Qing Society to Meng Changsheng, then from Meng Changsheng to Lin Waner's father Lin Zhuzhu, and when talking about the father, Lin Waner suddenly thought of something and asked Ye Chen: "By the way, Young Master, have you discovered any other uses for the ring left by my father?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Besides jumping when near you, and transmitting me to your face before my death, I have not discovered any other uses for it."

Speaking, Ye Chen also said: "Oh right, perhaps because we have been meeting more frequently lately, now when I am near you, it no longer has any reaction."

Lin Waner said earnestly: "Young Master, I always feel that this ring should not have only these two uses."

"Is that so?" Ye Chen said: "I feel its transmission ability is already miraculous; to this day I still cannot figure out how it achieves transmission—whether it disintegrates and reassembles a person at the atomic level, or like in sci-fi movies, establishes a wormhole between two points that can be passed through instantly. Such a miraculous ring, expecting it to have more functions seems somewhat unrealistic."

Lin Waner said: "Young Master, I feel that although Master Uncle never regarded my father and Wu Feiyan as true disciples all along, at the last moment he passed this ring to my father, which indeed was also hoping that after my father leaves the Ten Thousand Great Mountain, he could expel the barbarians beyond the pass and restore the Han dynasty's江山, after all he is also a Han person, and in his heart he also has a few points of national righteousness. Since his original intention was thus, Young Master, try to imagine: if this ring were only able to help my father escape with his life in a critical moment, then it could not possibly support the accomplishment of the arduous task of restoring the Han dynasty's江山. Therefore I feel that it certainly still has other wonderful uses, only my father did not have the chance to explore them back then, and I myself also lack the ability to research!"
