Book 3: Clear River in Turmoil - Chapter 31: Retaliation (2/2)
Su Chen said, “Junior officer realizes this But City Lord, don’t you think that allowing the Investigations Office to do as they please for such a long ti probleations Office for yourself?” An Siyuan laughed
Su Chen replied, “Junior officer is just one person, and I don’t have the ability to clone ations Office However, the Investigations Office is responsible for handling security within the city, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to hand its duty over to a third party Since that’s the case, why not expand the authority of the Origin Bureau a bit……”
“Hin Bureau take over the Investigations Office’s job? That’s i with their authority”
“Of course, it’s impossible under norin Qi Scholars and turns into a joint operation?”
“Involves Origin Qi Scholars and is turned into a joint operation?” An Siyuan squinted his eyes “You mean?”
“City Lord, why don’t you send out a notice saying that the Investigations Office didn’t do a good job investigating the death of Liu Jiyun and that because this in Bureau should also be added to the case?”
It was definitely iin Bureau to officially replace the Investigations Office But a joint operation on one of the cases, with its authority restricted to that specific case? There wasn’t any issue with that at all
An Siyuan understood what Su Chen was getting at “You want to blow the whole thing up?”
“That depends on how they respond,” Su Chen responded indifferently “They’ve already fought their way to our front step; it won’tas City Head is willing to giveto spearhead this attack”
“Have you thought about the consequences?”
“The consequences are that they will die very tragic deaths”
An Siyuan was slightly startled before he tilted his back and laughed loudly, “Haha, good! Ast youths! Since that’s the case, I’ll agree I’ll write a letter granting the Origin Bureau the authority to participate in this case The rest will depend on you”
Su Chen leading the Origin Bureau into battle against the ten Great nobility Clans would only benefit An Siyuan no matter what the outcome of the battle was
With An Siyuan’s support, Su Chen clasped his hands and said, “Many thanks for your support, sir Please wait for the good news!”

TL note: Below is the author’s note He whines a lot about his readers but in case any of you had some questions or comments I felt like this would be pertinent to read You may feel that it’s controversial, in which case feel free to skip it (Yes, he really does whine a lot)
I know that there are estions and co this novel So, and soht To the fors; and to the latter, I will ignore you
This is a kind of progress in the huue with you, I still need to explain sos won’t be turned into the truth and propagated
I’ll explain some of these absurd ideas below for you
Some people attack Su Chen’s moral character simply because he performs human experiments and question how a person like him is fit to talk about the prominence of the human race Others think that because Su Chen was only in the Qi Drawing Realm when he made his vow to transform the human race that he is too naive
I think that’s quite laughable
Let me first address the “idealistic” concerns People who raised the latter concern probably don’t understand what “youthful a for the Reading for the Rise to Prominence of China” o and take a look at who said it, and how old he hen he said it1
If you don’t understand still, Stephen Chow said it best: “If a person doesn’t have dreams, what’s the difference between them and a salted fish?”
That’s all I’ll say about being idealistic There’s no need to say much more, because that’sIt won’t confuse too s are the for experiments on hu about the prominence of the human race
There are two main points that I must address
Firstly: Main points have always been different from details Those ishfully believe that people who don’t bother with the details can’t have grand ambitions are too naive In fact, I have emphasized in this very novel that details and main points are very different There are lect sooal Read some books and you’ll be able to find plenty
Secondly: The ethical backlash against human experimentation is a modern concept It’s not that we can’t use current standards to evaluate the past, but please, be balanced In this age, using hu people The idio; no matter what kind of ht to carry out your own foranization that can kill people lawfully, and that’s the govern the laever, in xuanhuan2, people are always getting killed as long as the author gives theilante justice is entirely justified in the world of xuanhuan novels
If someone wrote a novel where the main character wouldn’t kill anyone under any circuine how this novel would flop
That is because the valuation of human life in a novel is different
In the sa people is allowed, then experi as the people being experimented on aren’t ethical theain, is very co fine with killing people but not with perfor human experiments is a double standard in and of itself, and those who are trying to pick a fight often use this line of logic
I just want to explain this so that people aren’tit
There are a few other people who say things like “Su Chen wants to start a revolution, but revolutions are only possible ohts haven’t spread, however, and will never spread, so I won’t trifle with thehif you don’t think it’s a good book But spouting nonsense…… Be careful not to get your face slapped; even if I’ it, someone will do it
That’s all I’ll say for now
1 Zhou Enlai (enwikipediaorg/wiki/Zhou_Enlai), a very, very fa era of communist China, said it in 1911, supposedly, which would be when he was 13 According to other biographical notes, he also said lots of things along these lines when he was younger
2 This novel falls under the xuanhuan category See this thread for more details (I like lividdeath’s explanation the best): forumnovelupdatescom/threads/difference-between-xianxia-xuanhuan-and-wuxia39018/)
