Novel Bin Chapter 19 - Law? My Word Is Law!
Qin Xian squinted his eyes slightly. After investigating Lin Feng’s background, he knew Chen Lingxi’s identity. She was the daughter of Governor Chen Beiguo and Lin Feng’s homeroom teacher and she seemed to value Lin Feng highly.
Thinking of this, Qin Xian couldn’t help but marvel at the power of the son of luck. Even attending school, he could get involved with a governor.
If he hadn’t intervened, Lin Feng would have grown up smoothly and could have established connections with Chen Beiguo.
He might even get into the sight of the Regent through Chen Beiguo! Such is the son of luck, filled with countless variables. If you are not careful, he might grow from an insignificant ant into an indestructible force within a short time!
However, Chen Lingxi’s words made Qin Xian frown slightly. If the daughter of a governor really decides to make a fuss, it could indeed cause some trouble. But in Qin Xian’s view, Chen Lingxi was an absolute fool!
Qin Xian looked at Chen Lingxi and smiled, “Miss Chen said I violated the laws of the Empire. I wonder which one I violated?”
Chen Lingxi said coldly, “On the day of the awakening ceremony, you took a cross-city flight and interfered with my student Lin Feng’s awakening ceremony, resulting in his failed career change!”
“According to the Empire’s law, all cross-city transportation and teleportation formations are prohibited during the transfer period. You should know this rule, shouldn’t you?”
Hearing this, Qin Xian smiled, “I know, but so what?”
A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: “This time, I came to Donghai with permission from the Empire’s Department of Transportation, completely legal and compliant. As for interfering with the awakening ceremony… It’s not my problem; it’s yours.”
“The Empire’s Education Commission should have issued a notice to the Donghai Education Bureau, instructing them to suspend the awakening ceremony at around 3 o’clock in the afternoon.”
“It was your work mistake. What does it have to do with me? Even if you take it to the Regent, it’s just your unreasonable trouble-making.”
Issued a notice to the Donghai Education Bureau to suspend the ceremony? Chen Lingxi was stunned but then shook her head resolutely.
Impossible! As a teacher at the First High School, she knew how much the schools and education system in Donghai valued the awakening ceremony. She never received any such notice!
Chen Lingxi asked coldly, “When was the notice issued?”
“Just now.” Qin Xian smiled slightly and instructed Qiu Bo beside him, “Check who the head of the Donghai Education Bureau is, and let the Second Office of the Ministry of Education issue them a notice now, dated three days ago.”
Then, Qin Xian smiled at Chen Lingxi, “Miss Chen, in this case, I am not considered to have violated any of the Empire’s laws, right?”
Chen Lingxi: “…”
Even as the daughter of a governor, used to witnessing the arrogance and despotism of the powerful, familiar with their tactics. She didn’t know what to say at this moment!
Lin Feng widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and couldn’t help but shout, “You’re fabricating!”
Qin Xian ignored Lin Feng, merely looked at Chen Lingxi and said faintly, “Of course, you can still pursue other matters. But I can tell you, no matter what procedures, orders, or processes you want to pursue. I can fill them in for you now.”
With these words, everyone was shocked. They all knew the Qin family of the imperial capital was immensely powerful, but now they truly understood what immense power meant!
Whatever procedure you need, I can write it out for you right now.
Blatantly fabricating!
But what can you do about it?
“Shameless!” Chen Lingxi was about to explode with anger, staring fiercely at Qin Xian, wishing she could kill him with her eyes.
Her heart was filled with grievances and anger, but more than that, a sense of powerlessness…
Qin Xian interfered with the awakening ceremony, falsely accused Lin Yu of being a void believer, acted in public, and killed. Each of these is a serious crime!
When other nobles break the Empire’s laws, they generally do so through abuse of power or by finding scapegoats.
But Qin Xian straightforwardly said, did I break the Empire’s laws? Then I will simply modify the Empire’s laws!
In this way, it is not considered a violation of the Empire’s laws. Qin Xian has a legitimate reason for everything, and there is no flaw in the process, nothing wrong to point out!
The most ironic part is, in name, Qin Xian is fully compliant with the Empire’s laws. Even though this is the complete opposite of the truth…
And Chen Lingxi knew that, although Qin Xian’s words were outrageous, they couldn’t hold it against him. Even if they posted it online, it would likely be deleted in seconds…
This is power! To turn black into white. To transform acts of violating laws into acts of upholding laws…
Seeing the powerlessness on Chen Lingxi’s face, Qin Xian felt a sense of mockery, ‘Such a naive fool. Saying things like — is there no law left in the Shenlong Empire? What a joke! When has this world truly ever had law!? Law? My word is the law!’
The so-called law is merely rules to restrain the weak and the ordinary. For noble families like the Qin family, it holds no binding force…
The rules of this world are set by the strong. How could they possibly threaten the strong themselves?
Chen Lingxi felt utterly aggrieved and powerless, overwhelmed by feelings of injustice and anger. She knew what the truth was, but she could do nothing! She could only watch helplessly as all this unfolded!
After all, Qin Xian’s actions were within the bounds of the Empire’s laws…
What has become of this world?
