Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 993 was a nightmare.

Unfortunately, Chu Xin never intended to be anyone's beacon of salvation, or rather, she simply didn't want to be worshipped and adored by others; the thought of that scene made her feel nauseous.

Furthermore, she still insisted on her own subjective opinion—that the reason why bad people are so rampant is because there are bad people among the masses.

After understanding the meaning behind Zhang Ye's words, Chu Xin immediately took a step back.

“I won’t go in. Tell them that whether they do good or evil is entirely up to them and has nothing to do with me. They can say whatever they want and seek justice for themselves.”

It's fine if you don't want to talk about it; no one can save someone who's willing to wallow in the mud.

Besides, Comrade Zhang, I think you've got things backwards. Strictly speaking, these people are all accomplices to criminals. Regardless of whether they committed specific crimes, simply concealing and tacitly accepting the crimes is enough to define them. You can try to give them a chance for leniency, but there's no need to go to such lengths to appease them.”

Especially now that they are indirectly controlling her, Chu Xin is very uncomfortable.

She has sympathy for people and is willing to save those who genuinely need help, but she absolutely cannot tolerate victims who not only accept their fate but also protect criminals.

Because the moment they chose to remain silent and become accomplices, they had already become perpetrators.

Zhang Ye hadn't expected Chu Xin's words to be so harsh. He was speechless for a moment. "You, aren't you being a bit too harsh? They're all pitiful people too."

Zhou Yichen stepped forward, his tone utterly indifferent, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'There's always something hateful about a pitiful person'?"

Zhang Ye: ...

How could this person think that way?

He hesitated to speak for a moment.

He could be more casual with Yu Chuxin and Chu Yunting, but with this one, he had felt immense pressure ever since he learned of his identity and had been trying his best to avoid dealing with him.

Now that he was suddenly asked this question, Zhang Ye felt flustered.

His family was originally from Kyoto. His family members were not particularly talented, but they were still quite capable and had made some minor achievements in the military and political fields. They were usually flattered and naturally became a bit arrogant. However, when it came to this person in the Security Bureau, everyone was extremely reluctant to talk about him.

Especially those of similar age to him, none of them were not afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts.

He comes from a distinguished family and is exceptionally capable, but he is cold-hearted, ruthless, and cruel. After being transferred from the Special Investigation Unit to the Special Branch, he performed outstandingly. Just when his future was bright, he was suddenly parachuted into the Security Bureau. In just over three years, he steadily rose to the position of deputy director and handled foreign affairs work year after year.

He himself is only in his thirties.

Such an outstanding resume makes the name "Zhou Yichen" feel like a huge rock, pressing down firmly on the heads of all the children of high-ranking officials in Beijing.

It was a nightmare.

When Zhang Ye listened to his cousins ​​complaining, he was relieved that his father had been transferred to another post and that he was also working there, so he wouldn't have to be a background figure in Kyoto.

But who would have thought that the case I was handling would attract him, and that last sentence was probably an expression of dissatisfaction with my work?

Zhang Ye sighed inwardly.

But if he were the kind of person who would dismiss himself based on just a few words from others, he would never have become the head of the criminal investigation team.

So he gritted his teeth and insisted that Chu Xin be a good person to meet the expectations of those women.

“They really want to see you with absolute gratitude. You don’t need to do much, just let them see you. In this way, their wish will be fulfilled, they will actively cooperate with the investigation, and we can close the case sooner. It’s a win-win situation.”

"I've never met anyone smarter than those two. There's a high chance you'll be proven wrong." Chu Yunting was feeling incredibly insecure and didn't dare say much. He could only offer this much advice out of consideration for their past work together.

Zhang Ye remained silent, but his expression clearly showed that he still had something on his mind. Chu Xin glanced at him and said, "I hope you'll still think that your good intentions didn't backfire later."

After speaking, he stepped forward, pushed open the door, and entered the conference room.
