Chapter 1545: Chapter 1538: Xue Bing’s Fury

As soon as she drank, Xue Bing immediately felt a burning sensation in her throat, like fire igniting, her stomach churning. Fortunately, she was currently at the Earth-level Peak as a Martial Artist, with considerable strength. By circulating her True Qi, she managed to completely dissolve this unpleasant sensation.

Even so, after a glass of wine, Xue Bing’s face immediately turned rosy, and her eyes became somewhat misty, like peach blossoms after rain, delicate and glistening. Especially under the glow of the lights, Xue Bing’s rosy cheeks exuded a special charm, with an irresistible allure.

”This wine is really something.”

Xue Bing heavily placed the glass on the table, exhaled a breath of alcohol, looked at Lu Tianxing, and said with slightly slurred speech, ”Lu Tianxing, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer me honestly.”

”What question?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned, not expecting Xue Bing to suddenly speak to him.

”Lu Tianxing, do you think this world is truly ruled by might? That the law is just an empty phrase in their eyes, useless? Lu Tianxing, tell me, in this world, as long as you have power and influence, can you really crush everything, as if ordinary people’s lives are no more significant than grass in their eyes?”

Xue Bing’s voice carried a trace of inescapable anger and a hint of helplessness.

”Ruled by might?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned: ”Officer Xue, what do you mean by this? I don’t understand what you’re saying. Moreover, now that you’re a member of the Yanhuang Group, who would dare speak of might in front of you, treating human life like grass, without fearing you’d arrest them?”

”Arrest them? I’d love to arrest them, but why stop me? Why? Just because a person has status and position, they can’t be brought to justice for their wrongdoings? Lu Tianxing, tell me, why is it like this?” Xue Bing looked at Lu Tianxing with a face full of unwillingness and said.

”Who stopped you?”

”Sima Lingyun. Last time, the incident on Jiangnan Guanqian Street was clearly orchestrated secretly by the Yang family, ignoring ordinary people’s lives, acting openly, completely violating the Yanhuang Group’s rules. But why was I not allowed to act? Just because the Yang family is a big family in Beijing, can they act unrestrainedly?”

”And the videos you exposed online some time ago were clearly related to the Yang family’s head, Yang Anlong. Why, with just a casual denial, was there no investigation, and the matter was brushed over? Why? Just because of his status, can he be let off?” Xue Bing said angrily, with a look of uncontrollable rage in her eyes.

The Yanhuang Group can turn a blind eye to conflicts between Martial Artists, as long as they do not involve ordinary people. However, the Yang family openly acted on Guanqian Street, disregarding ordinary people’s lives. Back then, Lu Tianxing exposed the video of Yang Tiansi’s confession, pointing straight at the Yang family. Some evidence was traceable, and with minimal investigation, the Yang family’s crimes could be easily uncovered. But when she expressed her wish to investigate to Sima Lingyun, she was flatly refused and even left in Jiangnan to clean up the aftermath.

This afternoon, she called again, saying the Jiangnan incident was over, only to receive the same reply from Sima Lingyun, even being explicitly told that the Jiangnan matter was closed, and she could not investigate further, or she would be stripped of her Yanhuang Group membership.

It was imaginable that Sima Lingyun’s words were like lighting a powder keg for Xue Bing, who was overflowing with a sense of justice. She had even decided in her heart to resign from Sima Lingyun tomorrow, as she would no longer stay in such a Yanhuang Group that courted power and bullied the weak.

Listening to Xue Bing, Lu Tianxing sighed helplessly, unsure how to respond. Of course, they could investigate the Yang family, but as the saying goes, ”tug at one part of the fabric and the whole thing unravels.” The consequences of acting against the Yang family were unforeseeable. If the Yang family fought back desperately, the consequences would be unimaginable, and more than a few people would die. Although it sounds ruthless, sacrificing one to save hundreds is a choice few would refuse.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing organized his words and began to speak: ”Officer Xue, actually, I think Sima Lingyun is not wrong....”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish, a trace of anger appeared on Xue Bing’s face. She slammed her hand on the bar and stood up suddenly from her chair, looking at Lu Tianxing with rage: ”What did you say, Lu Tianxing? I used to think that though you were a rogue and a scoundrel, you were at least a man of integrity, with a clear conscience. I never expected you to be this kind of person. Do you know how many people the Yang family has harmed? How many innocent lives have been lost at their hands? Have you ever thought about whether those people will rest in peace? And now you’re speaking for the Yang family? I misjudged you. I refuse to associate with you.”

With those words, Xue Bing headed directly outside.

Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Bing’s actions with a helpless expression, hastily reaching out to hold Xue Bing’s hand.

”Lu Tianxing, let go of me. You’re nothing but trash, a scumbag. I, Xue Bing, must be blind to have considered you a friend.” Xue Bing’s beautiful eyes were full of anger as she looked at Lu Tianxing and spoke, simultaneously struggling to shake off Lu Tianxing’s grip, but Lu Tianxing held her tight.

Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Bing’s furious face and said with a bitter smile, ”Officer Xue, do you really think I’m that kind of person? Besides, can’t you just hear me out?”

”Fine, I’ll listen to you. I really want to see what you have to say today.”

Xue Bing glanced at Lu Tianxing, with a hint of anger in her beautiful eyes, and finally sat on the chair, waiting for Lu Tianxing’s explanation.

”Officer Xue, do you know the status of the Yang Family in Beijing?” Lu Tianxing looked at Xue Man, took a deep breath, and said.

”A notable family, so what? Since ancient times, the prince and the commoner are equal in the eyes of the law. What special privileges does the Yang Family have?”

”Indeed, the prince and the commoner are equal in the eyes of the law. Officer Xue, you’re right; that’s definitely the case. But if you look through history, how many powerful and influential princes have actually been executed? To put it bluntly, besides their royal status, they have nothing, no power, no followers. They can be killed freely when they make mistakes. But if you look through history, how many powerful and influential princes, dukes have been easily executed?”

”What do you mean by this? Are you trying to tell me the Yang Family is untouchable?” Xue Bing said with a somewhat grim face.

”Of course, they’re untouchable, at least for now, because you don’t have enough power.”

Lu Tianxing said solemnly, ”Defeating the Yang Family is simple. If you have enough strength, you can destroy the Yang Family. Using official power against the Yang Family is definitely impossible.”

”Is that what you’re saying? Does it mean that it takes a talent to destroy the Yang Family?” Xue Bing frowned, looked at Lu Tianxing, and spoke in a deep voice.

”You could say so.”

Lu Tianxing nodded, looked at Xue Bing, and slowly said, ”If I guess right, the reason why Sima Lingyun stopped you from investigating the Yang Family might be because he’s worried about this issue. The Yang Family is a prestigious family in Beijing. As they say, pulling a single strand affects the whole body. This time, the Yanhuang Group has already expelled all Yang Family disciples within the group, which is equivalent to cutting off one of Yang Family’s arms. Plus, with the videos exposed not long ago, the Yang Family is already in a mess.”

”To put it bluntly, the Yang Family is now a cornered mad dog that bites anyone who approaches. If you recklessly investigate the Yang Family, however many people you send, that’s how many will die. The Yang Family won’t show any mercy. For a family, what matters most is often just family interests, not other things. Otherwise from ancient times to now, emperors would not have tried every means to weaken the power of aristocratic families.”

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Bing’s expression flickered with uncertainty. She’s certainly not foolish; otherwise, she wouldn’t be the captain of Modu’s criminal police team. It’s just that after being rejected by Sima Lingyun today, she was particularly upset, and the viral videos online made her lose control of her anger, clouding her judgment. She didn’t see the key to the matter.

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s analysis, Xue Bing immediately regained her senses, feeling chills down her back, soaked in cold sweat. Fortunately, she found Lu Tianxing for a drink today, wanting to vent. Otherwise, if she had devoted herself to investigating the Yang Family, she would surely die a terrible death. The Yang Family dared to directly frame Lu Tianxing, ignoring Sima Lingyun, which shows they don’t truly regard the Yanhuang Group as an imposing force; they indeed dare to kill her.

Moreover, Lu Tianxing is right; an aristocratic family never cares about the dynastic change. For a family, as long as they survive, their power can continue and develop, and they don’t care who sits on the throne. This fact is evident throughout history; usually, those who first betray are always aristocratic families. Only very few families choose to sacrifice for the country and die with it.

Only now did Xue Bing realize that her approach as a police officer is useless against aristocratic families. As a police officer, all the criminals she encountered were lone wolves. Even if they went berserk, the damage they caused was very limited.

However, after joining the Yanhuang Group, she faced aristocratic families, and the difference between the two can be said to be vast. If criminals are ants, then an aristocratic family is the world. No matter how crazy an ant gets, it can’t cause much destruction. But if the world turns upside down, you can only imagine how devastating the consequences would be.
