Chapter 433: To Surrender or Not to Surrender
The people in the square gradually dispersed.
Si Xi took a deep breath in and out, but in the end, couldn't hold back.
He carefully moved closer to Yan Sinian.
"Um... Senior Yan, what do you plan to do?"
Yan Sinian said, "Leave it to the junior sister to handle."
Si Xi looked down at Yue Qingqing, with an indescribable expression on his face.
So Senior Yan, you're not incapable of solving the case, you're just planning to shift the responsibility onto a child, right?
Yue Qingqing, however, was feeling dreadful and sighed.
When faced with dire straits, all notions of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and morality become nonsense.
No different from beasts, they only think about surviving.
Yue Qingqing had once heard her master say that during times of famine, what was sold in the market wasn't vegetables, but "vegetable people."
Humans treated as vegetables, exchanging children to satisfy hunger.
These people were detestable, loathsome, yet pitiable.
