Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Black and White

Jiang Bei wasn’t foolish; she had clearly realized from the scuffle in the sofa area that Rong Shen’s martial skills were above her own, indeed by more than one or two levels. Continually forcing a fight would only end in her own defeat. What’s more, all he wanted was her name, and she saw no need to exhaust herself like a dog just for a name.

However, seeing Rong Shen’s posture at the moment, Jiang Bei couldn’t help but think to herself that perhaps this was another way to win.

Rong Shen’s gaze had been fixed on Jiang Bei’s face without shifting until he was about to say something. Then the door was knocked, and his gaze leisurely moved away from Jiang Bei’s face: "Come in."

Qin Meng stood at the door and at the moment of opening his mouth, saw the dagger standing upright on the desk. He instinctively raised his eyes to the two of them, and upon confirming that Rong Shen bore no signs of injury, he visibly relaxed. However, the look he gave Jiang Bei was filled with deep caution.

"Brother Shen, Yang Li and Zhou Wu have arrived."

"Roll in."

Qin Meng cleared the way at the door, and Yang Li and Zhou Wu entered, both shocked the instant they saw Jiang Bei standing there:

"Brother Shen, why is this bitch here?"

"We’ve been looking for her for several days, never expected she’d deliver herself to our doorstep just like this. This bitch is a scourge, not only getting you thrown in the pen, but a few days ago, she even landed several of our brothers inside too. I have to settle this score today no matter what," said Zhou Wu.

The bald-headed Zhou Wu spoke with an anger that surged towards Jiang Bei as his words fell. Jiang Bei looked at him indifferently; she wasn’t afraid. She couldn’t beat Rong Shen, but she was confident she could handle this man in front of her—as long as Rong Shen didn’t interfere.

Yet, ultimately Zhou Wu still didn’t get close to her because as he got halfway there, he was suddenly kicked in the chest by Rong Shen and flopped to the ground, unable to get up.

Yang Li, standing to the side, was instantly stunned, taking a few seconds before he realized what happened and looking at Rong Shen:

"Brother Shen, this...?"

Rong Shen swept his chilly gaze over him:

"Who told you to make a move?"

"Brother Shen, we just wanted to vent for you after that bitch got you locked up, so we thought to take matters into our own hands..."

"Vent for me?" Rong Shen snorted. "Then why didn’t you go find that son of a bitch Vulture? Do you still need me to tell you who was behind my setup?"

Zhou Wu and Yang Li immediately ran out of words, standing there trembling, not even daring to breathe too hard.

"Failing to distinguish right from wrong, unclear of grudges and gratitude, stepping away from the enemy that sets up one’s brother, yet relentlessly pursuing someone who saved a life... Are these really the so-called brothers standing by my side?"

Rong Shen’s tone remained even throughout, his words casual as if discussing trivial matters at home, but those seemingly non-lethal words forced Zhou Wu and Yang Li to kneel, suddenly and together. Even Jiang Bei, standing at the side, was startled, instinctively taking a step back.

Rong Shen noticed Jiang Bei’s movement and chuckled softly:

"You weren’t scared when you fought with me just now; how come you show fear now?"

Jiang Bei looked at him, said nothing.

"The trouble you faced was caused by my men, but not by my own intentions. Now they’re in front of you, it’s up to you to deal with them."

If everything up to this point hadn’t made Jiang Bei feel the atmosphere of the underworld, then at this moment, she truly sensed it. Deal with them? The reason she came here wasn’t to seek revenge at all.

Jiang Bei looked at Rong Shen and shook her head:

"I don’t want to do anything. I came here just to have you stop harassing me. I want to return to a normal life, not to spend every day in fear of someone out to harm me. Since you said it wasn’t your intention, then I have nothing to pursue. Just make sure you and your people don’t disturb my life in the future."

"You won’t deal with them?"

Jiang Bei shook her head.

Rong Shen nodded, gestured for Qin Meng to come forward:

"You understand the rules."

Qin Meng was silent for two seconds before responding:

"Yes."

Jiang Bei didn’t know what this so-called ’rules’ meant, but she distinctly felt Yang Li and Zhou Wu’s faces turn pale in an instant. They probably wanted to beg for mercy, but the words they hadn’t spoken were cut off by Rong Shen:

"Speak one more word, and I’ll add another."

The words they were about to say choked in their throats.

It seemed Jiang Bei understood something. As Qin Meng was about to take the two men away, Jiang Bei stopped him and looked at Rong Shen:

"What do you want to do?"

"Is it not to deal with them? Since you don’t want to take action, I can only follow the rules of the underworld. I can’t let someone think that the world is all dark, can I?"

"What are the rules of the underworld?"

Rong Shen looked at Jiang Bei:

"One finger."

His tone was always indifferent, indifferent to the point that Jiang Bei almost had the illusion that what he was talking about was something completely trivial. For the first time, Jiang Bei truly felt a chill from the bottom of her heart. She had always lived in a world of pure white, knowing that darkness existed in the world and that it wasn’t as beautiful as she had imagined, but she had never directly faced such a scene before.

In many people’s eyes, Rong Shen might be a formidable character, but even if he was formidable, so what? Who gave him the right to inflict punishment so easily? In his eyes, was life and death such a trivial matter that his mere mention of ’rules’ could cripple someone?

"You can’t do this!"

"It’s the rule."

"They did it for you."

"So what?" Rong Shen moved closer to Jiang Bei. "The rules of the underworld aren’t for fun, nor are they for scary other people. I have so many people under me. If anyone who breaks the rules can say ’for you’ to avoid punishment, maybe I wouldn’t be me, and you wouldn’t be standing in front of me."

Jiang Bei wanted to say something else but was cut off by Rong Shen. He looked at her with a heavy gaze:

"Jiang Bei, if I were the one who made a mistake today, I’d accept the same punishment. Rules are made to be followed, just like you follow the rules of your world, right?"

Although Rong Shen’s words had their logic, it did not mean that Jiang Bei would agree with his methods. Looking at the two trembling men kneeling not far away, Jiang Bei was silent for a few seconds. As Qin Meng was about to take the two men away again, she spoke:

"You just said that I’m to deal with them. Does that still stand?"

Qin Meng looked at Rong Shen and ultimately stopped moving.

Rong Shen looked at Jiang Bei:

"You’re the victim, of course, it stands."

"Good. In that case, I’ll handle it."

Rong Shen was quiet for a few seconds, and Jiang Bei glanced at him sideways:

"I’m a doctor, saving lives and helping the injured is my sworn duty. I can’t just watch them get injured and disabled because of me, right before my eyes, and do nothing."

"Jiang Bei, being too compassionate can lead to getting hurt."

Jiang Bei smiled faintly: "I’m not a sanctimonious hypocrite; on the contrary, I take an eye for an eye."
