Chapter 1008: Chapter 674: Do You Want Revenge? (Part 1)

"I guarantee the completion of the task," Jing Youlan nodded excitedly, then turned around with two people; soon, she brought those disheartened so-called research personnel here. When they saw the woman lying on the ground, gasping for breath, their trembling worsened.

These people were not warriors, nor were they fearless of death, so in their eyes, in their hearts, there was no such thing as seppuku or dying for one’s country.

Apart from what was right in front of them, these people were mere waste, those useless borer insects. Mu Lin couldn’t even be bothered to give them a glance, and they were taken away by Ying Sun’s men.

Next moment, a burst of cheering erupted, cries of joy, thanks, relief of escaping death filled the entire room.

Mu Lin and Jing Chen exchanged glances, then looked at the pale little face in his arms, without a word.

These people were a bit luckier than this child.

From the moment these people in the cage were captured, witnessing their fellow captives disappear, die, and then casually disposed of, they had long since despaired, never imagining they’d see the light of day again.

Stepping out of the iron cage, the group took their pent-up anger out on the people of whatever family with several fierce kicks, expressing their rage, ignored without hesitation by Ying Sun’s people.

Just kicking them a few times, really, let them off too easy; what they were really looking forward to was how their sister-in-law would torment them tomorrow. That would be true vengeance, true satisfaction.

As for that woman, she too was thrown into a cage, out of sight, out of mind; just lying there, almost completely ignored by everyone.

After all, everyone had their own troubles at that point, who would bother with a high and mighty woman like her?

As the group came out, they were extremely grateful to Mu Lin and the others, but Mu Lin just looked at them indifferently, "Before we leave, I hope you promise me one thing."

"What’s that? You saved us, not just one thing; we’ll agree to ten," they said. What could be more gratitude-inducing than the grace of being saved?

However, Mu Lin’s next words made them hesitate, "After you leave this place, I hope you forget everything about it, clean and thorough, never to mention it to anyone for the rest of your lives."

Compensation was not something she needed to care about.

"Why? Those who treated us like this, should we just hide and protect them?" They didn’t understand.

"It’s not about hiding or protecting; it’s just that such matters are too sensational, speaking of them only causes public panic," Mu Lin’s voice was calm, as though merely narrating a bland fact, "As for revenge, we will take it for you. They will pay the price they deserve."

"So, I hope you can keep silent."

To be honest, if it weren’t for the elder upstairs refusing to publicize it, Mu Lin could make this stuff front-page news by tomorrow.

It really irked her.

People nowadays lived too comfortably; something major should happen to shake them up a bit. Otherwise, they are too complacent, only complaining about the country behind its back, acting as keyboard warriors, criticizing without realizing that they have the luxury to do so thanks to the country.

Without the security provided, where would their current carefree days come from?

As for those people, if possible, Mu Lin felt they really should be thrown into a war-torn country to truly appreciate what they have, to see if they would still feel like being keyboard warriors when they returned.

Listening to Mu Lin, everyone pursed their lips in silence, but could not convince themselves.

Should their grievances be just forgotten like that? They felt discontented.

However, at this moment, Jing Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "If you want to be isolated, you can try speaking out." His icy gaze carried a lethal intent as Jing Chen scanned over the people before him, "Then we’ll see whether your rumors spread faster, or if we act more quickly."

Jing Chen’s words were a threat, indeed a stark threat to them.

After all, reality had too many people who wouldn’t listen to good words but rather preferred to be threatened.

Mu Lin curled her lip, if she had known, she wouldn’t have wasted so many words.

Indeed, she was being far too gentle now.

Ying Sun’s people thought, if they ignored everything that had just happened and just looked at her face, she was indeed quite "gentle."

In the end, a middle-aged man was the first to step forward, promising and swearing because he knew they had the luxury to complain here only because they had been rescued. Having served in the military, he understood some things better and couldn’t blame Mu Lin and Jing Chen.

Then, the second was the woman whom Mu Lin had helped; eventually, the rest also pledged one by one, clearly not wanting to be confined as they had been.

They believed in the man before them, that what he said, he could do.

Then, Xigua arranged for two people to safely escort these people away.

That evening, Ying Sun’s people took turns guarding the spot, while Mu Lin and Jing Chen returned to their car.

"Boss, sister-in-law, you’re back," Sanqiu greeted Jing Chen and Mu Lin.

Mu Lin nodded, and Jing Chen, looking at him, asked offhandedly, "How’s the evidence collection going?"

Sanqiu replied, "Everything has been collected." Jing Chen nodded and instructed, "Send the evidence you’ve organized to the highest-level email." This also included the things from that chaotic graveyard, which were the photos Jing Chen had casually taken. After all, it’s only fair for the elder to take a look, isn’t it?

Sanqiu nodded, his fingers moved quickly, and he had it all sorted out promptly.

The next day, as dawn broke, Jing Chen and Mu Lin were already up, standing by the roadside, watching the yet-to-rise sun and its emerging glimmers of afterglow. Jing Chen hesitated no longer and dialed the elder’s phone.

When the elder saw those indefensible images they had created, he almost smashed the computer in front of him.

"Jing Chen, tell Mu Lin, girl, to leave that woman alone. The others, let her deal with them as she sees fit." Those people, they should pay with their lives for the countless lost souls they’re accountable for!

The elder’s breathing was somewhat unsteady.

Jing Chen conveyed the message, and Mu Lin smirked, "Chen, tell the old master, I know what to do." That woman, she was useful to keep alive; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been merely inconvenienced yesterday. As for the others, it seems indeed—they are no longer of any use.

The old master expressed his confidence in Mu Lin’s actions and then hung up the phone, sitting in silence for a long time; he remained slumped in the chair with his eyes closed.

Zhan Zhong looked worriedly at the elder; he was concerned about the elder’s health.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine," the elder sighed lightly, "I’m just wondering if it’s because we’ve really been—too polite." As a result, those people had the audacity to disregard them completely.

Zhan Zhong didn’t say a word.

In fact, they had indeed been too accommodating. Now, there was no longer a need to consider the feelings of certain minor nations. When the time came to be firm, they should be firm, or those nations might really think they were easy to bully!

Opening his eyes and looking at the slowly rising red fire in the sky, the elder murmured, "Maybe, it’s time we taught them a lesson."

On the other side, Jing Chen hung up the phone, and Mu Lin looped her arm through his, saying, "Let’s go, it’s time for the show to begin."

This time, they didn’t pass through the center of the village but walked by a nearby mountain before they set off. As for the insiders, at the break of dawn, they had already been taken to the back mountain by Ying Sun’s people, who were waiting there for Mu Lin and Jing Chen’s arrival.

Sanqiu expressed that he couldn’t miss such a "rare sight" and thus followed Mu Lin and Jing Chen’s footsteps, hugging his precious computer.

When Mu Lin and Jing Chen appeared, the few people tied up, including that woman, were nearly shivering, except for the woman. The researchers probably knew where Mu Lin intended to take them.

Mu Lin asserted: It was indeed a nice place! She was sure they would like it.

These people were uncertain about what Mu Lin would do to them, but they knew that today, their prospects were probably grim.

Following Mu Lin and Jing Chen, the group set off toward their destination. The closer they got, the more Ying Sun’s men frowned tightly.

Even with the disagreeable smell, they could roughly imagine the scene they would soon witness.

About this place, besides Sanqiu who had seen the photos, Ying Sun’s men were entirely clueless. So, when they saw everything before their eyes, they could no longer hide their fury.

"Beasts!" Jing Youlan really wanted to push them down as he tightly grasped the collars of these people.

Looking at those eyes wide open in death, as if they had witnessed unspeakable horrors, tears welled up in Ying Sun’s men’s eyes.

How could such a cruel race exist in this world, and why should such a race live on the same land as them?

How many more of their compatriots would these people have to harm before they were satisfied?

"Do you hate them?" Yet, it was then that Mu Lin’s voice, cold to the point of indifference, rang in everyone’s ears, instantly pulling them back to the present. Their eyes, unwavering, stared at the scene in the pit, their expressions devoid of any disgust.

"Hate," the first one to speak was Wu Ya; the short word was almost squeaked out through clenched teeth.

Yes, hate! They truly hated these people’s indiscriminate killing! They hated these people for so cruelly harming those whose lives their fallen brothers had sacrificed to protect.

They were all just ordinary people!

"Do you want revenge?" The next moment, Mu Lin asked again, her face calm and her cold gaze locked onto the scene below as if undisturbed by any tumult.
