Chapter 370 Rules
In the next video, the scene begins with Yu Ru sitting in a chair, holding a mirror and looking at her bald head.
A voice came from somewhere, saying, "Mom, how do you know that the mecha's weaknesses are its neck and eyes?"
"I was just guessing. That's how it's portrayed in cartoons. They say the core chip is in those big parts, so I aimed for that area. I didn't expect it to actually be his weakness."
"Mom is amazing! (???w??)???"
"Ugh--"
Yu Ru sighed, put down the mirror, and sat down in a chair, lost in thought. Shan Ci, using a dumpling as a body, flew to the table in front of her and landed, softly asking, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Yu Ru lay on the table with her eyes closed, holding the megaphone hanging around her neck and speaking to it towards the floor: "The pressure is so great, I feel like I'm going to die. If I had known that I would encounter so many difficult things when I grew up, I wouldn't have tried so hard to climb out of the water when I fell in as a child. If I had drowned then, there wouldn't be so many problems."
"Mom..." Shanci didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a moment of silence, it said, "Mom, things will get better. There's a saying that goes, 'Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.' You fell from such a high place and you're alright, which means your good fortune is yet to come."
"I feel like my death is just around the corner," Yu Ru said through a megaphone.
As they spoke, Yu Ru's phone kept ringing. She took it out and glanced at it, only to find that after a few hours of inactivity, she had received hundreds of messages from clients and brand owners. Seeing these unread messages filled her with despair. She had issued a statement a few days ago saying she was on vacation and wouldn't be replying to messages or taking on any work, yet so many people were still messaging her. She didn't know what they were sending, and she was too lazy to look, nor did she want to.
She glanced at her phone, then silenced it and put it back in her pocket. She raised the megaphone around her neck again, "I feel very confused right now. I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong. Baby, I actually think I'm pretty lacking in emotional intelligence and I don't understand any of those schemes or plots. My way of handling things is too simple and crude. Regarding this matter, I've been thinking for a while now whether I was too reckless."
"How could it be reckless, Mom? You're absolutely right. Those bad guys are shameless; tricks won't work on them, and besides, planning takes too long. By the time they've planned, they would have already fled abroad. So, we can only deal with them using the simplest and most basic methods. Besides, if you didn't have emotional intelligence and IQ, why would those rich women like you so much? They'd be inviting you out to dinner every day. One or two rich women like that would be one thing, but a dozen or even dozens of them? What kind of situation is that? Rich women definitely don't like idiots; they like dealing with smart people. They like you, so you must be smart."
Yu Ru smiled and said, "Baby, but the persona I present to the outside world is that of a mute and a fool. Rich women all know that I am a straightforward and naive person who can't understand polite words, so they can tolerate me because I pretend to be a natural idiot, which doesn't harm them."
"Mom is not stupid! ヽ(`Д′)ノMom is the smartest person in the world. Even if you ask me ten thousand times, I will still answer the same way. By killing those people, you are doing a service to the people."
Yu Ru sighed and replied into the loudspeaker, "Baby, thank you. Eliminating evil for the people... that's true. The problem is that those people are all social elites, prominent figures; their sudden deaths aren't easily explained away. I'm not afraid of death itself, but I'm afraid someone will investigate, find out about the people around me, and harm them. To prevent retaliation, I thought I'd kill them all, but who knew the protective umbrella involved would be so vast, the more I kill, the more there are, it's endless. Right now, I've only killed those from nearby cities who could come; the foreigners and those from distant places haven't been killed yet."
“Those villains have done far worse things. What’s the big deal about killing a few people? They’ve killed millions of ordinary citizens. Can’t the law side with you?”
Yu Ru raised the megaphone and said, "Sometimes, individual heroism is undesirable. No individual has the right to disregard laws and regulations and bypass judicial organs to execute anyone. Such a lack of discipline and order will ultimately lead to disaster. Here, we believe in the principle of 'a life for a life,' regardless of the motive. If individuals have the right to carry out vigilante justice, and can execute someone simply by reporting to their superiors and submitting evidence proving that the person deserves to die, then many people will die unjustly. Because evidence can be forged, and the dead cannot defend themselves."
"Mom...Isn't Dad's family a powerful and influential family with a long history? How about we ask them for help?"
Yu Ru shook her head and spoke again through the megaphone: "Baby, no one can help me with this. Yun Jixing and I haven't had a wedding yet, we haven't officially married into the family, so I'm not even considered part of their family. We can break up even if we're engaged. I haven't even entered the family yet and I've already made such a huge mess and now I want others to clean it up for me. What will people think of Yun Jixing's family? They'll think, 'How could your family be so blind to marry such a new daughter-in-law, creating such a bunch of troublesome issues, and now you want our help?' We're not even sure if we can help resolve it. If we drag them into this mess, then it'll be a huge loss."
"You didn't cause any trouble! You saved Yun Jixing, and you risked your life, that's an objective fact. You weren't causing trouble, you were doing a good deed. Besides, according to the data analysis, many of the dead were potential enemies of the Yun family. With them dead, most of the Yun family members will benefit. A family should help each other. (p′︵‵.)"
Yu Ru paused for a moment, then raised the megaphone and replied, "Baby, if an individual's execution of justice requires others to clean up the mess, then it's not justice, it's evil. Moreover, what we're trying to punish now is a complete industrial chain, with so many people tied to it. No matter how powerful the Yun family is, they can't withstand the sheer number and strength of others. And we haven't even figured out who's behind this yet. Honestly, if several major families joined forces to besiege the Yun family now, they might not win. So, I'll take responsibility for my actions alone, so others don't have to take this risk. I don't want to ask for favors, and I can't bring myself to ask. Luckily, I usually live like an unregistered person, so I should be able to clear my name from everyone associated with me."
"Mom, let's not kill it then, let's go home."
Yu Ru's expression was resolute, with a death wish, as she smiled and said, "Baby, there's no turning back now. We have to kill them all, otherwise the consequences will be endless, not only for us but also for ordinary people. Many of them are the policymakers. This time, the casualties are heavy, and they will definitely plunder the people even more frantically in order to recoup their losses. Now is a great opportunity. We have a chance to kill, a place to kill, and bait to lure them in. It will be hard to come across such a good combination again. Now that we've opened a crack, we have to tear it open completely."
"Mom, I still don't understand. Why is it that even though you kill bad guys, you, a good person, might still die? Why can't the Yun family, who know many people, defeat the bad guys? Is it true that good always triumphs over evil, and good always triumphs over evil?" Shan Ci's tone was somewhat dejected.
"Not entirely, it's complicated."
Yu Ru thought for a moment, then picked up the megaphone and continued, "Baby, as you know, the higher up a person's social standing, the more vulgar their thoughts become. Many families or individuals have achieved their current status because they have lost their humanity and turned to bestiality. The Yun family, however, is very commendable in that they still retain their humanity. There's an old saying, 'Two fists can't beat four hands,' right? How can a person with two hands fight against a beast with four claws?"
"Mom, will the Yun family be defeated by bad guys?"
"Not for now. Nobody dares to openly provoke them. They are also relatively resistant to investigation. Moreover, they have sided with the Light of Justice. If they don't have internal strife in this lifetime, they can probably live to see another hundred years."
"Although in the current environment, those wicked people do live better lives, such people are unethical and immoral, and will definitely harm others and infringe on their fair right to life. If everyone were so wicked, society would be filled with chaos, violence, immorality, and panic."
"Although cats and dogs only know how to eat, they also know to beg from those who are kind to them. They will resist those who try to approach them with ill intentions. Humans are the same. Those who are harmed, given enough time and enough people, will rise up in rebellion, overthrow the unfair order, and build a new one. Human development is like this: constantly overthrowing unreasonable rules and establishing new civilizations until the influence of this civilization can benefit the vast majority of people. Therefore, evil cannot prevail over good; it is only a matter of time and the number of people who resist."
“Baby, if we divide me into two factions—me and the people who killed them—then I should be on the side of justice, and the other side on the side of evil. Look, aren't those evil people downstairs, barely clinging to life, kneeling and begging for mercy? Doesn't that mean justice has won?”
Shan Ci: "??°??°??"
