Chapter 1833: Why Must He Kill?

"It's nothing, I just took him to the Prison for a walk, and incidentally had him kill a person," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Him? Kill someone?" Tang Qing was startled: "Why must he be the one to kill?"

"Because he will face many things in the future, and every one of them will be more cruel than killing," Chen Yu said: "If you want to maintain the stability of Milan Street, then you must pay the price in blood."

"We could... use other methods to reform them." Tang Qing did not agree with this statement.

"Reform? A vicious wolf can never be domesticated," Chen Yu slowly shook his head and said: "And you shouldn't think about trying to reform a vicious wolf, because that is never possible."

"What's more, human nature is sometimes even more terrifying than a wolf, because human nature is the most difficult thing in this world to fathom."

"But Tang Yi is still young. If he goes to kill someone now, I'm afraid his heart won't be able to bear it," Tang Qing said hesitantly.

"If he can't even bear this, then I can only say I misjudged him," Chen Yu said: "Sometimes, to grow and mature, one must pay the necessary price."

"Since Tang Yi was chosen by me, he naturally must walk a different path than ordinary people. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, but Tang Yi is my younger brother, and I know him better than anyone else," Tang Qing looked up at Chen Yu.

"He originally had a compassionate heart; he hasn't even killed a chicken. Now that he has to kill, he won't be able to get past that hurdle in his own heart."

"Is it the same if he kills a wicked person? A heinous villain?" Chen Yu stared at Tang Qing.

"Even if it is a wicked person, it shouldn't be him who kills them; wicked people will have their own retribution," Tang Qing pondered for a moment: "So I feel that Mr. Ye's approach is too hasty."

"So in your eyes, what kind of person counts as a wicked person?" Chen Yu laughed: "The bad people you've encountered at most just collect protection fees or get into fights. The Tang Clan's upbringing is excellent; you might not have even said a dirty word."

"But do you know what a true wicked person is?"

"What is a true wicked person?" Tang Qing was slightly stunned. Yes, just as Chen Yu said, the wicked people she had encountered were nothing more than people who fought and collected protection fees.

They intimidated the old and weak, or at most committed robbery, so in her consciousness, she had no idea what a true wicked person was.

"Killing, arson, and committing every evil—these words might not have much impact when spoken, but only when you see it with your own eyes will you know what a Purgatory on earth is."

Chen Yu said: "Do you know about village massacres? I know of a wicked person who committed murder and arson; every place he went, he would kill everyone there."

"He was on the run and passed through a small village. The people in the village treated him kindly, but in the end, they were met with his ruthless slaughter."

"Elderly people of advanced age, children not even three years old, and even pregnant women were cut open."

"The formed fetus dying together with the mother—have you ever thought about such a scene?"

Tang Qing's face turned pale instantly. What Chen Yu said was simply unheard of to her. Yes, with her upbringing, the so-called wicked people she had encountered were just small-time characters.

And Chen Yu's oral account might not have had much impact because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

But when Chen Yu described that tragic state in an extremely heavy tone, she realized how terrifying it was.

That was the true wicked person; Hell on earth is nothing more than that.

"Is what you said all true? Does such a person really exist in this world? But why must they be so cruel?" A look of unbearable pain appeared on Tang Qing's face.

She could not imagine that such a person existed in this world.

"Yes, in this world, there is a type of person who kills just for fun," Chen Yu said indifferently: "Whoever he encounters, regardless of whether they are good to him or not, he will kill them all."

"Tang Yi's significance to Milan Street will be different in the future. Just imagine, if one day he encounters extremely vicious people who want to kill the Chinese people, do you expect Tang Yi to go out and reason with them at that time?"

"If that were the case, I can guarantee that not a single old person, woman, or child on Milan Street would survive."

Tang Qing listened silently; Chen Yu's words overturned her previous understanding.

That's right, Tang Yi is the person who will maintain the order of an entire street in the future. If he is timid and indecisive, he will not be qualified for this position.

"Think about how your parents died," Chen Yu said: "There is actually no such thing as that much kindness in this world."

"So-called kindness is just something imagined by people who have never seen the world. If one day you really encounter trouble, the other party will not be kind to you at all."

"I understand..." Tang Qing nodded slightly: "Thank you for making me understand these things. If Tang Yi had continued to maintain his current state, it would only have harmed him."

"It's good that you understand. That is why I want to teach him to kill, to make his heart cold, and to not be kind to his enemies," Chen Yu said: "This is the way of survival in this world."

Tang Qing listened silently. She felt that she was indeed a bit naive. Sometimes, reason doesn't work; whoever has the bigger fist is the one who is right.

"Let me treat you to a meal," Tang Qing said with a charming smile.

"Why are you suddenly treating me to a meal?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned and looked at her in confusion.

"It's nothing, just to thank you for saving my life," Tang Qing smiled lightly: "And you also took my brother as your apprentice and pushed him to a high position. These are all things I need to thank you for."

"Hehe, don't you feel that me pushing him to the front is not a good thing for him or the Tang Clan? After all, from now on, your Tang Clan will formally intervene in secular disputes from being an Aristocratic Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Chen Yu looked at her and said: "If you want to live that kind of peaceful life in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Our Tang Clan should also make changes," Tang Qing said seriously: "When people mention our Tang Clan, everyone's first reaction is an Aristocratic Family of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a century of heritage."

"But why did our Tang Clan move here from Huaxia? The reason is that we were forced by war. A family of scholars has no say in anything other than practicing Medicine."

Tang Qing sighed and said: "So even though we have a reputation, in front of those in power, we have always been nothing more than existences to be manipulated. That's why when my parents passed away, we were all powerless."

"Is this your reason? You want to change the Tang Clan?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, we won't go around bullying people, but at least we shouldn't be bullied by others, right? When our Life is threatened, we must have the ability to resist, right?" Tang Qing said softly: "For the inheritance of Traditional Chinese Medicine, having me is enough. Tang Yi should just earnestly do what he wants to do."
