Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was impossible for Shan Yue to give Lang Nan a chance to catch his breath. Since the antidote and the shameful things he had done had been made public, there was only one thing left, and that was the kidnapping that had not been resolved from the beginning.
“Deputy Governor Lang, we’ve said all that needs to be said. Let’s settle the private grudges next.” A strange smile appeared on Shan Yue’s lips, causing Lang Nan to feel a chill run down his spine. “With Deputy Governor Lang’s intelligence, you should know very well what I’m talking about, right? Fortunately, my brother is fine, so you can stand and talk to me like this. If my brother had been hurt at all, you wouldn’t have survived until now.”
Lang Nan had long lost his previous arrogance. “What do you want? The person who’s the happiest now should be you, right? Your brother came back safe and sound and even made everyone stand on your side. It’s really killing two birds with one stone.”
“Then according to Deputy Governor Lang, shouldn’t I thank you? As far as you know, victims need to thank their perpetrators, is that so?”
Shan Yue’s eyes were filled with confusion as she looked at Lang Nan. Not only did she feel that the person in front of her was vicious, but he could not even tell right from wrong.
“If this is how killing two birds with one stone comes about, then I’d rather this never happened. If this had happened to Deputy Governor Lang, would you be willing to exchange the lives of the people closest to you for an opportunity that’s not worth mentioning?”
Shan Yue’s clear voice spread and struck everyone’s hearts. “There are always people whose ambitions are not satisfied. Just like you, you used all kinds of dirty methods to obtain the position of governor. You don’t know that everything you’ve done is letting down those who sincerely support you and ruining yourself.”
And Shan Yue’s words and actions made her reputation on the social media platform soar. Moreover, Zhou Xuan had given her his only candidate for governor, which made Shan Yue instantly squeeze into the top three.
However, the people in the venue were not in the mood to pay attention to this matter.
“So what do you want to do? Things have already developed to this point. You’ve also successfully saved your brother and lowered people’s expectations of me. Haven’t you done enough? What else do you want me to do?”
Even in this situation, Lang Nan still did not feel that he had done anything wrong. Instead, he said eloquently, “Let people off when possible. Shan Yue, you’re in a good situation now. Do you still care about these things?”
“Why should I let you off? Is it because you’re in a weak state now? How many innocent people have been deceived by the appearance of your human-faced beast heart? Have you spared them?”
Shan Yue knew very well that her words alone could not make Lang Nan feel guilty. The reason why he was acting like this now was completely because of the pressure from the outside world. That was because people from all walks of life were sitting in this venue. The live-stream could be seen by the entire country. He still had to protect his last image. Otherwise, he would have long fought with Shan Yue and the others. Today, he had to fight to the death.
Since peaceful methods alone could not sanction Lang Nan, some coercive methods had to be adopted. The law was only set up for people who were humane and repentant. But for someone like Lang Nan, other than imprisoning his personal freedom, it was useless.
How could Shan Yue let the person who hurt her family live the rest of his life so easily? Therefore, she still decided to resolve this matter in her own way.
“It doesn’t matter. I can stop arguing with you about this. Deputy Governor Lang, go back and wait for the court to summon you. When the time comes, 1 hope you can give the judge a reasonable explanation..”
