Blade of Time

Chapter 216
in the study.

Jiang Changye answered the phone: "It's me, what's the matter."

Edith's voice on the phone was very low, with a tone of Ai Ai hesitant to speak: "Do you have time? There is something I want to tell you."

"Do you have to meet and tell?"

"If it's inconvenient... then forget it." Edith sighed.

From her tone, Jiang Changye knew that this must not be related to the last time, most likely because he wanted to ask him for help.

At first he wanted to ignore it, but for some reason, Jiang Changye's heart softened again, and he said, "You came to see me during the day and know where I live. Come here."

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Changye saw Edith in his study.

The little girl was dressed in a simple and simple way, with her cute round face lowered, and she said: "I have a friend who is in trouble..."

Following Edith's narration, Jiang Changye knew that this matter was actually related to the city hall parade a few months ago.

At that time, in order to deal with Zhou Rui and the others, Jiang Changye threw out Xing Laer's pawn to overturn the case of the bombing in the old district, which caused Mayor Lawrence's reputation to be damaged, and the people took to the streets for demonstrations.

But it turned out that a sudden riot turned the march into a riot, and many people were arrested as a result.

Edith had a friend who was among them.

Edith said seriously: "There was something wrong with that riot, it was deliberately blamed by Lawrence and the Hongyang Group!"

"Hmm." Jiang Changye replied noncommittally.

Of course he knew, he just wasn't interested in it.

In the past year, Jiang Changye has grown a lot.

And the most important thing he has learned is that there is not much fairness in the world, let alone the so-called justice.

Zhou Rui died, but not because he was corrupt and broke the law; Wei Chunxuan died, not because he colluded with the spirit clan; in the eyes.

What people know is always only what the above needs you to know.

War is like this. Sometimes if you want to pursue victory, you can't be entangled in the so-called "fairness and justice".

For creatures like enemies, it's fine to die. Pursuing the perfect result, wanting the so-called redress of grievances, and the so-called broad daylight, is equivalent to asking for trouble for yourself.

But it was also for this reason that after Napton came to power, he did not overturn the case - Jiang Changye had an agreement with Lawrence, so he could not do so.

Napton and Lawrence have no deadly feud, and there is no need to chase after the dog in the water. This is also a political taboo.

So Lawrence has been so calm about what he did, no one turned him over, and a group of ordinary people who were wronged and imprisoned were still wronged.

But some people think otherwise.

Edith said: "They are all innocent, they were framed and should be rescued."

Jiang Changye looked at her with a smile: "So you came to me? Do you think I have this ability?"

Edith bit her lower lip lightly: "Your sister is the chief assistant to the mayor, your brother-in-law is the district chief, and you yourself have become a hero to save the Pure Land..."

"Hush!" Jiang Changye raised his finger: "I didn't save the Pure Land. The Scourge is too far away, so it won't fall into the Pure Land."

"But after all, you are the one who solved the crisis of alienation! They are all innocent, and you have an obligation to help them!" Edith yelled.

Jiang Changye smiled: "Obligation? You tell me about obligation?"

Edith was taken aback.

Jiang Changye shook his head lightly: "You don't know me. Sorry, I'm not interested in this matter."

He was about to wave his hand to let Edith leave, at this moment, Tokisaki Kurumi's will came: "Are you really such a person, Nagayo-kun."

Ok?
Jiang Changye was startled.

Shizaki Kuangsan said leisurely: "The Jiang Changye I know is brave and full of justice. What makes you so indifferent to the fate of a group of innocent people?"

Jiang Changye who asked this question was silent.

Yes, I used to be full of justice and wanted to do something for the country and the people.

But since the alienation of the dream world, after gaining Wei Poxiao's experience, everything has changed.

He became more pragmatic, he became more ruthless, he became more mercenary.

The so-called growth is more selfish.

This, in the past year, he has realized deeply.

But is this really good?

Is it really right?
Tokisaki Kurumi's question made Jiang Changye think deeply.

"But Kuang San, you are known as the worst elf, why would you say such a thing?"

"Maybe it's because of your influence. Mr. Chang Ye, I know you are not that kind of person. You were just forced by a powerful enemy to do whatever it takes to survive, but as long as conditions permit, you will still act with conscience, right? The means may not be bright, but the purpose must be bright, and that should be the way for adults to make concessions."

The means are not bright, but the purpose is bright?

The way adults back down?
Jiang Changye smiled.

Yes, many people will say this to themselves, but at the end of this self-deception, they are completely lost, forgetting the pursuit of "the purpose must be bright", and completely reduced to "how can there be so-called light"?
It wasn't until this moment that Tokisaki Kuangsan's reminder made Jiang Changye realize that he had sunk so deeply?

Forgetting that while a person has the ability to change himself, he should also consider the outside world.

If it is developed, it will benefit the world.

I may not achieve enough, but if I don't do some things within my ability now, I won't do them in the future!
He was arguing and thinking, Edith in front of her eyes was full of disappointment when she saw Jiang Changye's frosty expression.

She stood up, bowed her head and said, "So, did I have expectations that I shouldn't have? Got it..."

She got up slowly to leave.

Jiang Changye suddenly said: "Is it sentenced?"

Ok?
Edith was startled, shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Several months have passed, but the case has not yet been formally judged. The main reason is that too many people were involved this time, and the election coincided with it.

The framer had no energy, and the new incumbent had no interest, so things just dragged on.

But soon.

The news that Edith got was that in one month at most, the arrested demonstrators would be sentenced, and they were likely to be imprisoned on charges of subversion, which would last many years.

After thinking about it, Jiang Changye said, "Give me a copy of those people's information."

"Huh?" Edith was taken aback.

Jiang Changye looked at her: "You want me to help, you don't have any information in hand, do you? Or do you think I can solve this kind of thing just by opening my mouth?"

Edith blushed.

It could be seen that she really thought so.

Jiang Changye was also happy: "Unless you plan to ask me to help you rob the prison, there are rules for everything, and you have to follow the rules if you want to solve the problem. Asking someone to find a relationship is considered a help? No, there are many, many things to do."

He said and stood up: "If you want me to help, you have to give 100% effort to it first. Now, go and find me all the information of all the prisoners who have been imprisoned and the marchers who have not been imprisoned. How do you find it? Your question, if you can’t do it, then I’ll treat it as if you never came.”

Jiang Changye's habit of doing things is that since you come to beg me, you should adopt a begging posture. This kind of posture is not as simple as paying money to say good things and kneeling and kowtow, but to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

If you can't do this, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

At this time, Saki Kuangsan was also very supportive.

At the same time as asking for help, you have to do your best.
