447 Dropping A Sock Puppet Account? (3) “That’s even more impossible! Traffickers are not charity workers, so why would they keep her? The more you say, the more absurd it gets! Besides, how could an 11-year-old child invent the No. 5 Neurotoxin in a cellar without any experimental equipment? It’s impossible!”
Dugu Xiao pretended to be ignorant and said, “But her father has the case file for the reported case from back then.”
The reporters became even angrier, feeling like they had uncovered some hidden truth. “They still have the case file from over a decade ago? This sounds even faker! They must have fabricated it!”
“The society is unfair! If a rich second-generation makes a mistake, they can escape punishment! I suspect that the people in the special departments have been bought by the Shen family!”
“Do they even need to buy them? Haven’t you heard that the Shen family and the captain have a close relationship? If they want to protect his granddaughter, it’s an easy task!”
“This excuse is too absurd. Moreover, everything she said is based on her own account. The trafficker has been poisoned to death, and no one can prove the truth of her words! She might as well say that she was abducted by aliens!”
“Quickly look, Miss Shen has been released!”
After Zheng Yi confirmed the authenticity of the case file presented by Jing Zhen, he chose to release Shen Ruojing.
He then personally escorted her to the entrance, looking at her sternly and saying, “Professor Z, even if you were coerced, the No. 5 Neurotoxin was still developed by you, and you shouldn’t shirk responsibility.
“Although Mr. Dugu may be a bit unlikeable, he has taken down several bases that manufactured the toxin over the years along with 518…
“You should also consult Mr. Chu more and see what price 518 had paid in the past! You should not be living peacefully as if nothing ever happened. Intelligent people like you should take responsibility for social order no matter what you do. After all, a quote in spiderman once stated, ‘With great powers comes great responsibility.’
“I believe that if you can do half of what 518 did, no, even just one-tenth of what she did, no one will blame you for developing this toxin.”
Shen Ruojing remained silent.
She glanced at the people behind Zheng Yi.
After learning the truth, their gaze toward her had no more resentment but still held condemnation. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She nodded and said, “I will. In my life, I will devote myself to eradicating the No. 5 Neurotoxin!”
Zheng Yi nodded.
But someone behind him snorted. “Words are not enough, actions are what matters. What have you done for this cause in all these years?”
Zheng Yi gave him a glance, and the man immediately stopped talking. Shen Ruojing didn’t explain too much either.
Zheng Yi still wanted to lecture her more, but at this moment, the reporters surrounding Dugu Xiao had rushed to them.
“Captain Zheng, why did you only arrest her for a short while and then release her?”
“Is she really innocent?”
“…”
Dugu Xiao stood far away, looking at them coldly.
He should feel happy after seeing Shen Ruojing being surrounded by reporters and harassed by their toxic words and doubts. But he just couldn’t feel happy for some reason.
At this moment, Chu Cichen walked up to him and said, “Are you happy now?”
Dugu Xiao didn’t say anything.
Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing. He didn’t rush over to help her immediately because he knew that she had overcome her inner demons and had become strong and calm. She was no longer afraid of those comments.
He came to find Dugu Xiao and decided to reveal Shen Ruojing’s identity to him. This was because if he didn’t, he didn’t know what Dugu Xiao would do next, and it would hurt Jingjing too much…
Thinking of this, he looked at Dugu Xiao and asked, “If 518 hadn’t died, would you try to kill her again?”
Only when facing Chu Cichen would Dugu Xiao reveal his longing and guilt for 518.
He suddenly lowered his eyes and said, “If I say that I never really wanted to kill her, would you believe me? I never thought of killing her. It was my mother who forced me to fight for the position of organization leader. I was just pretending. With such a weak bomb and such flaws in the plan, how could she have died? She died because she was exposed to the No. 5 Neurotoxin and couldn’t run out of the explosion! You and I both know that she didn’t die in my hands, so why don’t you join me in seeking revenge?”
Chu Cichen sighed. “Do you really understand 518?”
Dugu Xiao was stunned.
“Do you know why 518 wanted to eliminate all the production bases of the No. 5 Neurotoxin before choosing to kill the person who developed this toxin?”
Chu Cichen enunciated this word by word, “That’s because… she wanted to make up for her mistake before committing suicide.”
Dugu Xiao’s mind suddenly exploded. “What are you saying?”
