Chapter 539: Brainwashing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He’s trying to brainwash me? Hurhur.

Huang He thought, then nodded as though he understood.

“I’ll listen to Brother Ying.”

“You still didn’t get it!” An Ying seemed really pleased by his reaction. Although he said that Huang He didn’t get it, he was so glad that he cackled as he stroked the chunky Chinese jade ring he was wearing on his thumb. He paused for a moment before reiterating his point. “We are people who have faith that we are a group of righteous people. Faith and conviction are what makes us strong and fearless.”

“Faith?” Huang He looked at him, confused.

“Enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!” An Ying said seriously.

“Some people,” said An Ying in a calmer tone, “are downright despicable and unscrupulous. They deserve to die... But if we don’t mete out the punishment, they will continue to do evil... Thus, what we are doing is exactly to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens! If this was in the ancient times, we’d have been called chivalrous warriors, you got it?”

“...”

Huang He remained silent.

He felt that this was a dangerous question.

It would be too dangerous for him to concur with him immediately.

So he chose to keep quiet about it.

An Ying seemed to really like his calm and steady character. He suddenly laughed as Huang He didn’t show much emotion to the topic. “Do you still remember the recent case that happened in the Capital?”

Huang He furrowed his eyebrows. “Which case?”

An Ying pointed to the back of the house with his thumb. “In this slum, not too far away, a silly son killed a dumb, young woman and his own father. In the end, both mother and son have to face the consequences...”

Huang He thought for a moment and laughed. “Brother Ying, you also know to come up with jokes?”

“Hahahaha!”

An Ying’s laughter somehow felt chilly and a little strange.

“Do you think such despicable people deserved to die?”

Huang He knew which case he was referring to but he did not know the ‘despicable people’ he meant was the mother and son or the father that died...

An Ying lowered his head and played with his Chinese jade ring by turning it to and fro again. “Back then, I used to be colleagues with him... We were teachers in a Special Training School.”

Huang He felt a tug in his heart.

Special Training School?

His heartbeat started to accelerate but his expression was calm.

He continued to look at An Ying and did not say a word.

“I did hit my students before,” confessed An Ying as he gave an account of his story, “that was simply because those kids were disobedient. I’m bleeping different from those teachers! They were inhumane and worse than beasts but I’m not. I’ve never violated the female students. Besides my short temper, I’m the only teacher in the entire school who was really dedicated to teaching the students to be good...”

An Ying seemed a little agitated when he talked about this.

His eyebrows crumpled together to form an agonized frown and he was gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to tear someone into pieces.

“That *sshole Feng Min, back when he was a teacher in that school, he already knew how to appear weak and gain sympathy. In order to mitigate his punishment, he managed to redeem himself by accusing me that I did the same things as him.”

He took a gasp and then he sneered bitterly, revealing a row of his yellowish teeth. “I’m bleeping wronged! I’m the only good teacher, the only one! Those little b*stards that I have hit before... stepped forward to accuse me... With all these fake evidence, there was nothing I can do about it and I went to jail together with Feng Min.”

Huang He looked on with sympathy.

He seemed as if he could understand how An Ying felt.

“Brother Ying, I can understand how you must have felt. I’m also... been accused before and entered the detention center twice. I can totally understand how helpless and bitter you must have felt!”

“Exactly! I’m also like you in the past, a good man. But d*mn, good people are not being rewarded at all!”

An Ying looked at him as though he had found a confidant.

“The second day after I went to jail,” he spat angrily, “my wife went to court to file for divorce, took my son along with her and remarried. My family’s ruined... But look at Feng Min, his wife and son actually waited for him to go back home. Hahaha, do you think that this is ridiculous too? That *sshole beats up his wife every day that she had been admitted to hospital for bone fracture before. That woman was actually willing to wait for him? Tell me, does this kind of wretch deserve to die as well?”

Huang He replied in a low tone, “She does.”

“When a kind person does something bad, sometimes, the sin she committed is worse than her husband’s. Precisely because there are women like her that spoilt Feng Min, that made him turn out to be so bold that he did all those unforgivable deeds to the female students. Tell me, should women like her deserve death?”

“Yeah.” Huang He replied without any hesitation.

An Ying then gritted his teeth. “After I came out of prison, I have nowhere to go. My son has already taken another surname and couldn’t recognize me at all. When he heard that I’m his real father, he looked as though he saw a demon instead and ran away from me... My mom had to endure all the bad mouthing and finger-pointing from everyone and died of anger and frustration. My dad would grab anything he could find as ‘weapon’ whenever he saw me and asked me to go and die!

“My relatives wished that they had never known me... None of them believed me. I’ve never violated the female students at all... I had originally thought that I can start afresh. It was only after I came out that I realized that the moment when I went to jail, my life is already ruined.”

An Ying then heaved a sigh after letting out a sneer.

“When I was at my wit’s end, Cui Ming’s the one who helped me out!”

Cui Ming?

Huang He raised an eyebrow.

An Ying looked at him with his gaze slightly dimmed.

“Yup, it’s the Cui Ming that you’re thinking now. He’s the one who told me that evil could only be overcome by evil. It’s a pity that he’s dead now! I need to seek vengeance for him. I want to help seek revenge for those who have been betrayed and framed in this society by sending all those bleeping b*stards to hell! To hell! To hell!”

He repeated “to hell” three times, gritting his teeth and looking savage as he said that.

The amount of hatred in his heart must be enormous.

Huang He swallowed lightly. “Brother Ying, do be rest assured. I’m the same as you... being accused and blamed for the wrong reasons.”

An Ying looked at him, there was no change in his expression. “I’ve told you my story. From now on, I’m depending on you... Let’s ‘celebrate’ our Lunar New Year.”

“Celebrate” the Lunar New Year. He must be referring to Operation Heaven’s Wrath, he thought.

Huang He squinted his eyes. “Sure.”

...

By telling him his sob story, that was an act to show his trust in Huang He.

Everyone in this line of business knew this rule.

This type of brainwashing could be said to be very successful.

If Huang He was not a police officer, he could totally feel the injustice that could make his blood boil and held the same faith as An Ying. He would then join him sincerely in his battle to carry out “justice” in the name of the heavens.

...

An Ying sat for a while more then got up and patted Huang He’s shoulders. “I gotta go now. I’ll contact you tomorrow.”

“Alright.” Huang He also stood up and wanted to send him off but An Ying waved his hand.

“I still have something to say to Danyue.”

Huang He sat back down slowly.

Earlier on when the two of them were talking, Tian Danyue played with her phone and looked at the few men eating their food.

When she saw An Ying coming out of the room, she quickly walked up to him. “Brother Ying!”

An Ying halted in his steps and gestured for her to come along to the courtyard.

Tian Danyue furrowed her eyebrows and followed along.

“Danyue.” An Ying stroked his nose and took a glance toward the room with his head lowered. “You really like him this much? You like him so much that you’re willing to inflict wounds on yourself so as to make him believe... that in order to get him out of the detention center, you have to get close to me and sacrificed a lot?”

Tian Danyue was dazed for a moment and her face instantly turned pale as a sheet.

The winds at the courtyard were rather strong, her hair was ruffled by the wind and she was as though frozen at her spot, unable to move at all.

An Ying smirked. “You’re smart. To men, there is nothing better than guilt in order to capture his heart. But Danyue, what did you gain from this? Does he love you?”

Tian Danyue’s brain hummed and went blank. “Brother Ying? I...”

An Ying replied, “Don’t be afraid, just tell me.”

Tian Danyue stammered a little. “Brother Ying, te-tell you what?”

An Ying’s gaze dimmed. “Tell me, why do you like him so much that you’re willing to do anything for him? What kind of person is he? Is he really worth it?”
