Chapter 1176 - 373 Kill that Scumbag_2
And Xiaoyu was initially bought from a trafficker, and a contract of enslavement was signed: alive she belonged to the textile factory, and dead she would be the textile factory’s ghost. Even if they killed Xiaoyu, at most they would only be fined some silver coins. It would not be a life for a life.
Furthermore, Xiaoyu was a fleeing slave of the textile factory. If the factory demanded accountability and caught Xiaoyu again, she could only redeem Xiaoyu at a greater cost. She could use her status to press the government, but it would be quite troublesome and might easily offend people. Thus, she could not punish that despicable man through the government in a fair and square manner.
In the Space, Xue tuanzi, watching its master with her ever-changing expressions, timidly asked, "Yanyan, do you want to kill that despicable man?"
"Is that not acceptable?" Mo Yan raised her eyebrows, a hint of sharpness in her voice as she retorted, "With such scum, if we do not kill him, there will be more children harmed by him, their lives completely ruined."
Xue tuanzi was somewhat conflicted and clearly did not agree, "Although killing him in secret is acting on behalf of Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t see it that way. It will not count as your merit, but instead it may affect your fate. Are you sure you want to do this? Besides, you have never actively killed anyone before, are you sure after you kill someone, you can get over that hurdle in your heart?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan spoke earnestly, "Xue tuanzi, killing that scum, perhaps I will feel uncomfortable for a few days, but if it can protect more children from harm, what is a little discomfort? I am not doing this because I have a sense of chivalry, but because that scum’s actions completely touch a nerve of humanity. If I do not get rid of him, I will feel even worse. There are many utterly cruel people who do not even blink when killing someone, but often they will spare children, because they still have a last shred of kindness."
A true person has things they will do and things they will not. She would not actively plot against others, but she would never be merciful to anyone who crosses the line of humanity. The despicable man from the textile factory was just too disgusting, too hateful. She could not convince herself to ignore his existence.
Xue tuanzi became silent. It understood its master’s inner indignation very well. Not letting her vent it out would probably remain like a thorn in her heart, troubling her peace and rest.
