Chapter 34: Justice Is Selfless but People Have Emotions

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Hello, Teacher Wu.” The three of them stood up and politely greeted him.

Wu Zhengyong smiled and sat on the sofa in front. He lowered his hand to gesture them to sit down, and asked kindly, “You cried?”

“It is very touching. I’m about the same age as Jia Hui.” Yun Xiangxiang replied and nodded.

“Do you sympathize Jia Hui?” Wu Zhengyong asked.

Yun Xiangxiang brushed the script with her fingertips and shook her head after being silent for a while, “I feel happy for Jia Hui.”

Wu Zhengyong was preparing to drink the tea that Han Jing served when he heard this and looked up at Yun Xiangxiang.

“It was benevolence. Jia Hui is very smart. If she didn’t want to go to jail, she never would’ve been caught.” Yun Xiangxiang expressed her unambiguous feelings after reading the script.

Even though it is often said that nothing escapes the net of justice, that is not entirely true. There are so many fearful geniuses in the world, and Jia Hui was one of them.

The script was very well constructed and exciting. People were dying continuously, and yet it was hard to find the similarity among the deceased. If one didn’t read the entire script, no one would be able to figure out that Jia hui was the murderer.

She stood at the brightest point and saw the greatest darkness.

She didn’t do all this just to take revenge on Xu Kang. Looking at the finale, Yun Xiangxiang had a feeling that this ending was what she hoped for.

Xu Kang wouldn’t simply leave his position. He was keen to be the people’s police [1] with a great sense of justice in his heart. However, Jia Hui only wanted a family who could accompany her everyday.

After her mother’s tragic death, her soul began to distort and was not properly guided. In time, it became darker and darker. The loneliness in her heart allowed her to be devoured by the devil. She was a child who needed warmth. She used this method to tell Xu Kang that she needed him more than the people.

Even if the police had one less Xu Kang, there would still be Zhao Kang, Qian Kang, Wang Kang... [2]

But without Xu Kang, she had nothing.

Therefore, even if she were to lose her freedom and be imprisoned in that small cell, she had Xu Kang to accompany her every day. To her, her father was more important than freedom.

“Do you think it is good to name this film “Justice and Selflessness?” Wu Zhengyong asked after sipping some tea.

“It is excellent.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded, “Justice is selfless, but people have emotions.”

When Xu Kang wore his police uniform, he only had justice. Hence, when the pursued criminal kidnapped his wife and daughter, he had to be worthy of the police uniform. It caused his wife to die tragically and his daughter to be forced to the brink of madness.

But when he took off his uniform, he was also a human of flesh and blood. When his mother knelt down to beg him, he didn’t accept it, but he also did not force his mother and sister into desperation despite knowing the facts.

Therefore, when his mother used other methods to let his sister be released, he chose to ignore it after struggling with it.

He paid a painful price for this little bit of selfishness, which was why he became fearful when faced with his daughter’s questioning.

Later, when he gave Jia Hui the evidence, it was not to prove himself nor to push away responsibility.

It was to tell Jia Hui back then that if he had a one in a thousand chance to save her mother, he would have done his best.

It was not to use her mother’s life to prove his righteousness, or to use it ruthlessly for the sake of his career. That was why he volunteered to be a prison guard in the end.

He always believed there was light in his daughter’s heart. Putting the law aside, it was regretful that she killed all those people. He hoped he could use the rest of his life to change her and let her face life with a smile again.

In this film, both Xu Kang and Jia Hui were contradictory characters.

Xu Kang was a law enforcer in the eyes of criminals and the people, but when he faced his own flesh and blood, he was an ordinary person. Since ancient times, it had always been hard to reconcile both filial piety and righteousness.

There was a thorn in Jia Hui’s heart. She hated all the injustice and selfishness. So she killed a few selfish people:

In order to hide her nephew’s moral corruption, the teacher threatened and expelled the pregnant female students.

In order to let her brother avoid the crime of drunk driving, the star with little popularity used a huge sum of money to bribe a person who lacked money to be his scapegoat.

In order to pay off his son’s gambling debt, the worker pushed his underaged niece who he raised for a few years into the red light district.

These people would harm other people because of their own selfishness. But they did it so spotlessly. The victims willingly helped with the lie. Since there was no evidence, even the police station couldn’t do anything about it.

Jia Hui got the pity of the entire police station when her mother died. Since young, she was able to go about freely in the police station. These peoples’ affairs happened either right beside her or she saw them at the police station. She remembered every single one of them at the bottom of her heart. Their arrogance towards the police officers under the protection of the victims provoked her.

She hated sin, and yet she turned herself into a criminal.

It was contradictory, yet such a murderous character just couldn’t be hated.

“If I’m not wrong, you can see through this story.” Wu Zhengyong appreciated Yun Xiangxiang greatly. He said to Han Jing, “Give Jialiang a call, we’ll have dinner together tonight.”

“Then we’ll have a simple dinner here at my home.” Han Jing looked at Yun Xiangxiang encouragingly. Basically, her getting the role of Jia Hui was a nine out of ten.

Yun Xiangxiang had seen Director Lin Jialiang before in her past life, but they had no interaction. It was thanks to Han Jing that she could easily get to act in a film directed by him. She was thinking that if she didn’t accept to film “University Dream” there was no way she would get Han Jing’s recognition. She got the results today because of her contribution to “University Dream.”

Therefore, even if “University Dream” didn’t get any awards, to Yun Xiangxiang, the reward she had already gained was well worth her efforts.

With Han Jing’s recommendation and Wu Zhengyong’s approval, moreover they had seen Yun Xiangxiang’s film before. Lin Jialiang gave the role of Jia Hui to Yun Xiangxiang after the meal. However, the procedure was still needed. They made an appointment to have an audition the next day and for Jia Hui to meet her father.

The actor acting as Jia Hui’s father was the movie superstar Gao Feng, who was also known as Iron Man!

Gao Feng, who was forty-five years old, was Hong Kong’s gold award movie superstar. He was tall and burly, with strong facial features and slightly tan skin. His eyes were dark and deep, making his appear more manly and mature.

“Xu Kang, audition your daughter yourself.”When Yun Xiangxiang arrived, Lin Jialiang was conversing with Gao Feng. He waved at Yun Xiangxiang once he saw her and said that to Gao Feng.

It’s not that Yun Xiangxiang favored Hong Kong actors, but the fact that Hong Kong actors were more dedicated and talented, and that they weren’t as arrogant as mainland actors. Perhaps to Gao Feng, he didn’t even know who Yun Xiangxiang was. However, Lin Jialiang arranged it. He, who was a movie superstar that had won foreign and local awards, didn’t put on even the slighest airs.

Instead, he walked over to Yun Xiangxiang with a fatherly smile. He bent down to look Yun Xiangxiang in her eyes, “I am Gao Feng and I will be your father for the next three to five months.”
