Ban Shi Wu Gui

Chapter 847 Weighing the Pros and Cons

Shen Feng, in order to save Chang Haojie's extreme ideology, immediately took him to find Qian Bufei. Qian Bufei was drinking coffee in a tall building. Coffee trees are generally planted in tropical regions, and they are also planted in Dian Province. He was tasting coffee brought from Dian Province at this time, not instant coffee, but coffee that he had personally ground, brewed, and filtered.

Beside Qian Bufei were two other ability users. Qian Bufei was entertaining them, and the three of them were sitting in the hall drinking coffee. Pure coffee is very bitter, and sugar and milk need to be added to neutralize the bitterness. It tastes better than tea, but the effect is the same.

At this moment, Shen Feng broke in with people. Qian Bufei saw him and quickly said, "Mr. Shen, what a rare visitor. Come, come, sit down and have some coffee. Let me introduce you. These two are outstanding talents from Dian Province, and they are also ability users. They are Zhou Hao and Ma Hu He."

Shen Feng quickly nodded to the two and said, "Greetings, gentlemen. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Please take care of me."

Although the two ability users saw Shen Feng's true face for the first time, they had already heard of Shen Feng's reputation. At this moment, they quickly said, "Not at all, not at all. Your fame, God of Wind, has long been known far and wide. We are the ones who need your care."

At this time, the waiter also brought chairs. Qu Zhaoqian did not understand what these people were saying and continued to drink coffee and eat pastries by himself. Chang Haojie, on the other hand, was preoccupied with his thoughts and had no appetite.

Shen Feng then recounted what had happened to Chang Haojie today and suggested, "Gentlemen, since Dian Province has already sent troops south, they must want to change the situation in Dian Province. But they shouldn't turn a blind eye to the conditions along the way, should they? Now that Northern Myanmar has experienced years of chaotic governance, it is time for a change."

After hearing Shen Feng's words, Qian Bufei and the others looked at each other, then looked at Shen Feng and asked, "Mr. Shen, are you serious?"

Seeing the expressions of the three, Chang Haojie understood that they clearly did not want to do this. He showed a look of disappointment and thought to himself, "As I expected, there is no justice in this world."

Shen Feng nodded and said seriously, "Of course, I am serious, extremely serious. I know what I am saying at this moment."

Qian Bufei hesitated. He found it difficult to refuse Shen Feng's suggestion, so he looked at Zhou Hao and said, "You have been on a secret mission here for a long time. It should be your turn to introduce the basic situation. What do you mean by staying silent?"

Zhou Hao clearly did not expect the ball to be kicked to him at this moment, so he had to accept it. He then explained to Shen Feng, "Mr. Shen, our mission at this time is to go south and occupy the port, doing the work of liberating the people and punishing the wicked. If we were to do as you say, it would inevitably lead to a great slaughter. You have no idea about the situation in Northern Myanmar. The so-called change of heaven and earth is just talk, and it's useless."

Shen Feng quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Hao said seriously, "Mr. Shen, the reason why our soldiers can quickly advance south and occupy the Northern Myanmar region almost without bloodshed, and even obtain necessary supplies from here, is because of the cooperation of the warlords here. Why do they cooperate? Because we promised not to touch them. In other words, the warlords have caused the darkness and turmoil in Northern Myanmar. Changing heaven and earth sounds simple, but if you really do it, you will be making enemies of the warlords."

Shen Feng frowned and thought, not speaking further.

Zhou Hao thought his persuasion had succeeded and continued to persuade, "Mr. Shen, I know you are the God of Wind and a good person in the eyes of others, but you cannot ignore the current basic situation. The warlords are the foundation, and they are currently very obedient and supportive of our foundation. If we were to change heaven and earth, it sounds simple, but in the end, the port has not yet been taken, and Northern Myanmar will fall into chaos. This is not good for anyone."

Chang Haojie could no longer hold back and directly reprimanded, "Do you people have no conscience at all? Most of the people suffering now are our compatriots. You can do something at this moment, but you choose to stand by and watch. You are abetting evil and colluding with the wicked. You are all bastards."

Although Chang Haojie was just a teenager, his scolding was still quite unpleasant. Zhou Hao wanted to get angry for a moment, but seeing Shen Feng on the side, he took a deep breath and said, "You are a child, and I will not stoop to your level. You do not understand the bigger picture, nor do you know what the main contradiction is. You probably haven't even studied philosophy, so it's useless for me to tell you to grasp the main contradiction and ignore the secondary contradiction."

Chang Haojie, however, was not intimidated at all. Instead, he argued reasonably, "I may not understand philosophy, but I understand reason. I know that killing is wrong, organ harvesting is wrong, planting those harmful things is wrong, and running casinos is also wrong. As a result, you use so-called bigger picture and philosophy to convince me, but it's just sophistry. You are colluding with these warlords. You are all scum."

"You... you brat, you're still talking nonsense!" Zhou Hao was in his early twenties and was being scolded to his face. He couldn't help but be angry, but he couldn't make a move. When it came to debating, he couldn't find a point to refute.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Qian Bufei quickly stepped forward and said seriously to everyone, "Stop, stop, stop. Don't argue. Arguing further is meaningless. So, at this moment, let's calm down. In my opinion, there is not no solution to this matter."

Everyone quickly looked at Qian Bufei. Qian Bufei clearly wanted to mediate the conflict between the two sides, and everyone was willing to listen to Qian Bufei at this moment.

Qian Bufei then looked directly at Chang Haojie and asked, "Young Master Chang, I guess you saw unfair treatment towards your compatriots, so you felt the darkness and wanted to change the current situation, right?"

Chang Haojie nodded. His guess was accurate, and Chang Haojie had nothing to refute.

Qian Bufei then clapped his hands and said, "That's good. We will immediately send messages to the warlords and ask them to release the Chinese people they control and not restrict their personal freedom. In this way, the people here can return to their country, and won't that solve the problem? Won't the situation be changed?"

Chang Haojie heard this and sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't articulate it. Indeed, if the compatriots were released, wouldn't justice arrive? However, with this kind of solution, it seemed that the evil people were not dealt with. Was this really okay?

Chu Chaoyan then casually asked, "If these people are released, will the warlords still have people to work for them?"

Zhou Hao said impatiently, "Why not? At worst, they won't dare to arrest Chinese people anymore. As for the rest, in the west, there are Bengalis and Indians, in the east, there are Lao and Vietnamese, and in the south, there are Malays. Where are there no people? As long as you have a gun, you can arrest people. You don't even need to arrest them yourself. As long as you pay money, naturally, someone will send people over."

"Isn't that the same? It's just that the suffering people have become others. The situation here has not changed." Chang Haojie finally understood why he felt something was wrong earlier. It was because the contradiction had only been shifted, not resolved.

Indeed, after the warlords released the people, the Chinese compatriots could return to their country and escape a place full of sin. However, the suffering people had become others. When people from other places were arrested, they would continue to suffer, continue to be enslaved, and be treated like livestock.

Zhou Hao let out a helpless sigh at this moment and said, "Ah, my little ancestor, what more do you want? It's enough that the Chinese compatriots are released. Don't disrupt the situation now. We do have the idea of eliminating the warlords, but we don't have the strength. Just taking the port requires full effort, and we also have to face pressure from headquarters and external doubts. In this situation, do you want us to act against the warlords? Who will support us? Think about the millions of people in Dian Province, think about the millions of people in your Yuzhou. Who doesn't need a port? Who doesn't need a road?"

Chang Haojie became anxious and directly said, "If you don't have the strength to deal with the warlords, I will deal with them. I heard what you said earlier, and I know that to restore peace to this region, we need to eliminate the warlords. I will do this."

After speaking, Chang Haojie stood up and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, a figure flashed before his eyes. Ma Hu He, who had been sitting all along, appeared in front of Chang Haojie. His speed was very fast, and ordinary people could not see it clearly.

"Go back and sit down. Children don't understand anything. It's easy for you to kill people, but it's difficult for us to clean up your mess," Ma Hu He said in a deep voice.

When Shen Feng saw the other party's movement, he was slightly surprised because the other party's speed was almost catching up to him. However, at this moment, Shen Feng was not worried because the other party clearly did not want to make a move.

Chang Haojie sat down unwillingly, but his resentful expression showed that he had not changed his mind and was still thinking of personally eliminating the evil.

After sitting down, Ma Hu He looked at Chang Haojie and asked, "You said you want to eliminate the warlords. Do you know how many warlords there are? Do you know how many soldiers they have under them? How long will it take you to eliminate the warlords? I'm asking you this question."

Chang Haojie had no idea about these things and could not answer at all, so he could only shut up.

Ma Hu He continued, "Young man, it's not that I look down on you. Even if you are an ability user, even if you can kill people, it will take you two to three years to kill all the warlords, and there's no guarantee that they won't have successors. Can you stay here for two to three years?"

Chang Haojie looked at Shen Feng, seemingly seeking his opinion. Shen Feng shook his head without hesitation. It was a joke. How could he let a teenager stay in such a dangerous place for two to three years? If he couldn't bring Chang Haojie back, his senior sister would be angry.

"I know Mr. Shen's abilities, but it will take at least half a year for Mr. Shen to get rid of the warlords, as he is the fastest in the world. Does Mr. Shen have half a year to stay in Northern Myanmar?" Ma Hu He looked at Shen Feng and also asked him this question.

Shen Feng was also shaking his head at this moment. He had to go home to accompany his wife and didn't have time to manage these things. As long as the routes were clear, why bother with other things?

"That's right, young man. After you kill people, you feel relieved and think you've upheld justice. What about Northern Myanmar? Who will clean up your mess? It's still people like us. Please give us some time. Dian Province will deal with them when it has the strength, but for now, don't cause trouble. Letting our compatriots go home is already a great effort," Ma Hu He said to Chang Haojie.

Chang Haojie lowered his head and said nothing. He was finally convinced. At this moment, he finally realized one thing: the world is complex, and it is not a world that he can change at will. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
