The Unease in My Heart

Security Bureau.

Wang Xing'an's body was covered with a white cloth.

Wang Nie, Yan Rao, and several other Wang Family came to see him one last time.

Yan Rao's hands were trembling as she gently lifted the white cloth from his face. She still seemed to find it hard to believe. Seeing her son's young face under the white cloth, with a gunshot hole on his forehead, she realized that the process of embalming the body made it less horrifying.

However, his face was still somewhat distorted.

Yan Rao knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Wang Nie's eyes were also somewhat red.

Lin Yan and Chen Liu, along with other Security Bureau personnel, stood by and watched the scene unfold.

"Director Chen, why are we carrying out the execution so soon?"

Wang Nie looked at Chen Liu and asked in a deep voice.

When he sent Wang Xing'an to the Security Bureau, he was still assuring his son that he would be released immediately and that he would not be allowed to stay at the Security Bureau until the next morning at the latest.

As soon as night fell, the person was gone.

I'm afraid his ashes won't even last until tomorrow morning.

Chen Liu was somewhat panicked; being targeted by Wang Nie was not a good thing for someone of his status.

Lin Yan didn't want to make things difficult for him. Everyone has their own struggles, and he didn't have any ability of his own, so there was no need to make him take this risk.

He stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, our Security Bureau has always been this efficient, which is also a necessary requirement for us to maintain the security of Tianjing Base City."

"We are confident that we will continue to make progress in this area and build Tianjing Base City into the safest city in the world."

Is this a press conference?

Wang Nie could hardly believe his ears.

Is that what I meant?

Yan Rao's sobs were choked by these startling words, and she stared at them with wide eyes, just like the other Wang Family.

Chen Liu's heart raced; this expert really dared to say that...

Wang Nie's eyelids twitched. He looked at Lin Yan, who was wearing a professional smile, and asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised, blinking twice. "Mr. Wang, don't you recognize me?"

"I am the person your son wanted to kill, the victim."

"It's such a pity that your son was blind to the importance of others and ended up like this. I'm very saddened by this."

His expression gradually turned cold, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

He had no interest in witnessing the tragedy of parents outliving their children; in fact, he found it laughable.

There are countless people crying because of you, you beastly son, how dare you shed tears here?

Disgusting!

Wang Nie had never seen such a scene in all his years, and he never even dared to imagine that someone could provoke him like this after killing his son!

He was almost trembling with anger!

Yan Rao stood up, looking as if she wanted to devour Lin Yan, but Wang Nie stopped her, saying there was no need to argue with him here.

He will pay a heavy price for offending the Wang Family today!

Lin Yan took a folder from a Security Bureau officer next to him and said with a smile, "Here, this is all that your son had left before he passed away. As his parents, I think you should hand it over to him."

When Chen Liu, the director of the Security Bureau, saw the folder, his heart skipped a beat.

Wang Nie stared intently at Lin Yan as he took the folder.

After Lin Yan saw him take the document, he said, "This document contains 382 pages, recording all the crimes your son committed, some major and some minor. In short, if I were to execute him once a day, he would have to live for a year."

"It's quite impressive that someone who is only 18 years old can do this much. I really admire him. After all, such a pure scumbag is extremely rare. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a rare species. I originally applied to have your son made into a specimen, but my superiors did not approve it."

Lin Yan with some regret, "They said they couldn't do this because of humanitarian considerations. I was very confused at the time. Humanitarianism? What does that have to do with your son?"

Lin Yan showed no restraint and made no attempt to hide his hostility.

There are plenty of bad people in the world, but someone like Wang Xing'an is someone that not everyone can do.

He was still furious after reading the document, and now every word he writes is filled with strong aggression.

If it weren't for his parents and the Wang Family, who would Wang Xing'an be? What gives him the right to act so arrogantly?

Wang Nie breathed heavily and threw the folder out violently, sending 382 sheets of paper flying under the light.

His expression was cold. "Do you really think your background completely controls the Wang Family? Do you think we pose no threat to you?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Wang may have misunderstood something."

"I don't need any so-called background to live and eat at the Wang Family. I just think that you guys are all useless except for causing trouble at your own doorstep."

"That's how woodworms are."

Wang Nie gave him a deep look and said, "Let's go!"

He was extremely powerful, and even when provoked like this, the others had no choice but to obey him. They originally came to see Wang Xing'an's remains, but they never expected to encounter someone as fearless as Lin Yan.

Lin Yan watched their retreating figures. "Mr. Wang, if you want revenge, I'll accept it. But I advise you to bear the consequences!"

"I forgot to tell you, I was also the one who executed your son, so there's no need to cause trouble for others. My marksmanship is excellent, and I never need to fire a second shot."

Lin Yan said, "So he passed away peacefully, though he missed his parents a little."

Wang Nie paused for a moment, then walked out.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he vomited blood in anger. He said calmly, "Pingqing, investigate him. Investigate his identity, his resume, his family. I need to know everything."

Wang Pingqing nodded solemnly. "I will go back and start investigating immediately."

They remained silent the entire way, everyone's hearts burning with anger.

But after returning home, I heard another piece of news.

Councilor Deng personally visited Liu Mingxuan's home to propose marriage to Wang Xinyue.

Wang Nie was furious. He killed my son, slapped me in the face, and now he wants to marry my daughter.

What kind of logic is that?

He rushed to the main hall, where his father, the Tribe Leader of the Wang Family, was receiving Councilor Deng.

He said, "Councilor Deng, my daughter has already entered into a marriage agreement with the Ye Family in Jiangnan, so I'm afraid I cannot grant your request."

Deng Jun remained serious and said, "I have already contacted the Ye Family about this matter. Your engagement was only recently concluded. They understand that Xin Yue has someone she admires who is unknown to her family, which led to this situation, and they are willing to cancel the engagement."

The veins on Wang Nie's temples were throbbing.

Who does the Ye Family think they are? A Councilor Level personally intervened in this matter. Doesn't he understand that they want to die?

The bald old man, the head of the Wang Family Tribe Leader, said, "Wang Nie, I have already agreed to Councilor Deng, so you don't need to get involved anymore."

Wang Nie looked at his father with some confusion.

After resolving the matter, Deng Jun and the others left.

Wang Nie stepped forward and asked the bald old man, "Father, why did you agree to let Wang Xinyue marry Liu Mingxuan?"

"Xing'an just died, and the whole thing was caused by them."

The bald old man said wearily, "Wang Nie, I entrusted the Wang Family to you so that you could carry on the Wang Family glory, not so that you could act on your emotions!"

"This whole matter involves Councillor Jia, Councilor Deng, and Dai Chun. Do you think my Wang Family is so powerful that we can disregard their opinions?"

"It's just a daughter. She can get married. Deng Jun isn't usually one to meddle in these kinds of things, but since he's already asked, if you refuse, you'll offend him."

"One son, he has caused such a disaster to my Wang Family. It's alright if he dies. My Wang Family is not a small family. You don't only have one son. Even if you and Yan Rao have another one, it's not too late. Don't let anger consume your reason. You are the head of the Wang Family. You must put the interests of the Wang Family first."

"This is the foundation upon which we exist."

"I want you to sort out this whole matter clearly before you look at the situation of my Wang Family. Don't act rashly and don't lead the Wang Family to a point of turmoil."

A cold glint appeared in the bald old man's eyes. "Even if it's revenge, don't bar your teeth; strike a fatal blow!"

Lin Yan left the Security Bureau, got into a Security Bureau car, and headed to the Han Jin Pavilion.

Now that this matter has escalated to this point, it's no longer just about him alone, so he naturally needs to give them an explanation.

Councilor Deng has just arrived.

At this time, four councilors, Dai Chun, Liu Mingxuan, Wang Xinyue, and the Wen Xiuyong family were gathered at the Han Jin Pavilion.

Lin Yan walked into the main hall, and everyone stared at him. He bowed and then sat down in his seat.

Jia Yi laughed and asked, "Have you exhaled that breath yet?"

Lin Yan did not give a positive answer as he had expected.

He said, "No, on the contrary, I was filled with righteous indignation."

Everyone present was taken aback and looked at him questioningly.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I feel wronged."

"Why did someone like Wang Xing'an have to wait until today to die? He should have died long ago. Why did he have to wait until today, until he provoked me, before he died?"

"I was thinking, if I were more ordinary, would I also have died in that car accident, and then everything would have continued peacefully?"

"I question the War God Palace, I question the rules of this world, I question the laws, and I even question everyone present here."

What he said was earth-shattering.

What is he saying?

What is he thinking?

Why do I say that?

"Perhaps more people will get used to the current situation and think that these are normal. Since ancient times, the strong have always prevailed over the strong. Even if a single spark can start a prairie fire, the gun is still needed and countless warriors are still needed to fight for the new order."

As a time traveler, he sees things from a different perspective than they do.

He is discovering the problems that exist in this world.

Driven by his own simple emotions, he felt he needed to speak out and put these things into practice, rather than remain silent or drift along with the tide.

"But I don't think so."

Lin Yan declared emphatically, "We are experiencing a catastrophe far Great Nirvana period!"

"Because of the external pressure from monsters, we have granted too many privileges to the martial arts class, while disregarding the human rights of hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Even when we trample them underfoot, no one speaks up or cares."

Everyone fell silent, watching him speak.

Like a warrior, overthrow all injustice.

"It shouldn't be like this."

"The world is sick."

"There might even be a rule in the Base City that killing a martial artist is a capital offense, without needing to investigate the underlying reasons or question the Karma. On what basis?"

"Throughout history, even in feudal times, not all matters have been resolved by death. Yet, in this very era, such a rule has emerged!"

"And correspondingly, the law is not just; it cannot punish those who deserve it, and after such social changes, it is subject to more external influences."

"We are on the wrong path, and without a major change in circumstances, this mistake will become increasingly difficult to correct and change."

"The root of all this is that we climb the ladder of power by fists and force, not by character or ability. How many Planetary level are there in the world? War gods are equally rare. The ultimate consequence is that everyone is a friend and a comrade-in-arms, and there are already countless entanglements. As a result, rules are no longer rules, and laws are no longer laws."

Dai Chun reflected on himself: if it had been someone else instead of Lin Yan in this situation, would he have stepped forward?

The one person you should never deceive is yourself.

He won't.

Their goal is to defeat the monster, and supporting this country in such an environment is like walking on thin ice; there are some things they won't do, and dare not do.

"I don't like this kind of world. Privilege should not supersede human rights, personal feelings should not supersede the law, and rules should not supersede justice."

"This world needs change, it needs surgery, it needs a new spirit."

Jia Yi looked at the young man who spoke those words so earnestly, a feeling he had never experienced before welled up within him.

He laughed, still happy even though he was criticizing himself.

Everyone had similar emotions.

They saw a spirit growing within a young man who was only 18 years old, which was even more valuable than his talent and ability.

Jia Yi said, "No one has ever said these things. People usually don't hate privilege, but they hate that they are not beneficiaries of privilege."

"But you are different. Because of your excellence, the privileges I have given you are beyond those of others, even my descendants and their descendants cannot have them, and this will only increase as you grow up."

"But it feels really good to think about these things not for yourself, but to give voice to countless ordinary people."

"Lin Yan, you have shown me what our young people can be like, and you have shown me what our ideal world should be like."

"I can't do this because over the years, many things have held me back and made my steps difficult. You can't do it now either. I don't want someone like you to be ruined by such a storm. You're not good enough to protect yourself right now."

The lean man sighed, "So, become the God of War."

"At that time, you will become the one who wields the power of the law."
