Qin Kewei saw that Xiao Sheng and Jin Zijue were not on her side. Clearly, she was the victim, but the real culprits were being protected, and she was the one who seemed to have done something wrong. She couldn't swallow this injustice and was determined to get an explanation. If others wouldn't give it to her, she would have to fight for it herself.
Next, Qin Kewei walked directly towards the office building of the Ability Administration. Although the actual members of the Ability Administration were only twenty-odd, there were fifty to sixty people working in the office building. She wondered how many of them were actually handling affairs.
The director was a normal person. In normal times, he served as a messenger between headquarters and the ability users. During normal times, when headquarters had important meetings, ability users generally did not attend. The people who attended these meetings were usually the director. After the meetings ended, things that should be known to the ability users would be conveyed to everyone.
And in theory, the director also had the authority to manage the ability users. Therefore, Qin Kewei now placed her hope on the director. As long as the director could help her get justice, she would be able to rightfully execute these two scoundrels.
However, after Qin Kewei found the director and explained what had happened to her, the director calmly said, "Qin Kewei, your matter is very difficult to handle. You say you were ambushed, but where is your evidence? Is there a witness? Or is there physical evidence?"
Qin Kewei quickly replied, "I don't have physical evidence, but as for witnesses, as long as Yang Yunhe and Wang Like are apprehended, they will tell everything. Moreover, physical evidence must also be retained by the Tianlong Bureau. This is something that truly happened, Director. There is no reason for me to lie."
Upon hearing this, the director nodded seriously and said, "I will handle this matter with utmost seriousness. To perform mental control on a comrade in such an excessive manner is simply unforgivable. Such things must be dealt with seriously. This is a typical failure to grasp the spirit of headquarters and understand the various instructions in the documents, committing an unforgivable mistake. I will severely punish these two individuals. I will prove with my actions that even ability users cannot ultimately escape the law."
Qin Kewei felt that the director was showing concern for her at this moment, otherwise, why would he say so much? She then continued to ask, "Then when will the punishment be meted out? The people in the Tianlong Bureau have done such excessive things; not killing them is not enough to quell public anger."
However, at this point, the director said to Qin Kewei, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. For now, you should return to your post. I guarantee that I will investigate it as quickly as possible and then use lightning action to bring these two to justice. Don't be anxious; you need to give me time to do these things, don't you?"
Qin Kewei understood when the director spoke like this. This was a delaying tactic. No matter the occasion or the time, the delaying tactic was always the most effective method. Even for matters of life and death, as long as the delaying tactic was employed, there would be no problem.
What if a foreman owes wages and refuses to pay, and the workers come to demand them? At this point, saying there is no money is useless because others simply don't believe it. The best method is to delay. One might say, "I am chasing the boss for it. I will sleep in the company today and will not leave until I get the money."
This kind of statement could fool eighty percent of migrant workers. Or, one could use another method. If one has the ability to pay wages but deliberately does not pay in full, they might first give a quarter and say, "This is the result of me chasing for four months. Please wait a bit longer; the money will definitely be obtained..."
And so on. After saying these things, the workers would stop for a while. In this way, the delaying tactic could be used continuously, and the final effect would be very good. It would be easy to delay a matter for a year or a half.
Qin Kewei was no longer a naive young girl. Seeing the director's attitude now, she knew that she could not count on him. He was only trying to stall for time. According to the complexities of the workplace, the next time she came to urge him, the first step would be to fill out a form and explain the matter clearly. The next time, they would say that documents were needed. In short, it would be impossible to complete a process in a short period. The staff would patiently explain the reasons for the system, but everyone knew that one only cared about the progress of the matter, not why the system was designed that way.
"I will appeal to headquarters about this matter. I have the right to explain the situation directly to headquarters because I am an ability user," Qin Kewei said in a deep voice.
After saying these words, Qin Kewei stood up and left. She was utterly disappointed with this place.
Next, Qin Kewei went to headquarters. Headquarters appeared very busy at this time because mutated birds were attacking every day, and various matters were piling up. It was not a simple task to handle all these things. Despite being busy, headquarters still had dedicated personnel to receive Qin Kewei.
The person sitting in this office was a middle-aged man with a receding hairline. Sitting behind the desk, he exuded an imposing aura without anger, possessing a natural and powerful presence. He then arrogantly began to inquire, "What is it? Headquarters is still busy defending against the mutated bird attacks. What kind of matter brings you here?"
Qin Kewei recounted what had happened before. However, after hearing what Qin Kewei said, the middle-aged man from headquarters directly reprimanded her, "Qin Kewei, you are completely disregarding priorities. Do you know that the overall situation is paramount right now? At this time, you should be defending against the mutated birds. Yet, now, for the sake of filing a complaint, you completely disregard the safety of the city. You are making a mountain out of a molehill and are utterly confused about right and wrong!"
"I am confused about right and wrong?" Qin Kewei was very indignant at the accusation. She was clearly the victim, yet she was now being unjustly accused. Who was really confused about right and wrong?
The middle-aged man continued, "Yes, you are indeed confused about right and wrong. Do I need to spell it out? Where did the ability potions you people secretly stored come from? Were they hidden beforehand? Did headquarters not say that the head of the Corpse King needed to be handed over? What did you do?"
"But I am talking about being mentally controlled. I have done many things I didn't want to do. The matter of ability potions is not important. The important thing is to punish these two from the Tianlong Bureau..." Qin Kewei quickly argued. The matter of ability potions was indeed a mistake made by the Ability Administration, but what Qin Kewei was talking about now had nothing to do with ability potions. Yet, it was repeatedly brought up. This was inappropriate.
The middle-aged man sneered and then said, "The people from the Tianlong Bureau colluded with outsiders to control you. That is their mistake, but your mistakes occurred even earlier, didn't they? If matters are to be handled in chronological order, you, Qin Kewei, who led the secret storage of ability potions, should be punished first."
Qin Kewei was stunned upon hearing this. Headquarters was being unreasonable, likely ignoring what she said and instead making a fuss about other matters. In other words, they were trying to smooth things over, and resolving the issue through headquarters channels was also not feasible.
"Do you understand now? The overall situation is paramount! If I were to deal with two ability users today because of your report, I wouldn't be able to rest in the coming days. Now, get out immediately and return to your post, do you understand?" the middle-aged man roared, his aura almost menacing.
Qin Kewei silently lowered her head and left the office. She did not return to the Special Operations Bureau's post but went back to her room. Seeing the memorial tablet of He Kanwen on the altar, she felt a wave of nausea. She couldn't believe she had become a widow to such a scumbag. Qin Kewei then grabbed the tablet, exerted force with both hands, broke it in half, and threw it out the window. She then collapsed onto the sofa.
Women are prone to extremes, and Qin Kewei was no exception. Discovering that her reasonable demands were not being met, she recalled Yue Hengyi. She now knew she had wronged Yue Hengyi. Yue Hengyi's previous actions were all to save her, yet she had sent Yue Hengyi to court and stood against him. She imagined that Yue Hengyi's indifferent expression at the time was due to her confusion about right and wrong.
"No one is willing to help me, no one is willing to lend me a hand. Everyone is mocking me, everyone is standing against me, as if my desire for revenge is wrong. Why is this happening? Not only are former friends stopping me, but even those in power are passing the buck?" Qin Kewei asked herself.
Qin Kewei could not understand this at all. The more she thought about it, the more extreme she became. She knew she was not wrong. What was wrong with killing those who manipulated and played with her? The ones who were wrong were not herself, but the entire world.
Finally, Qin Kewei completely fell into extreme thinking: "Since I am not wrong, then the ones who are wrong are others. Everyone who stops me deserves to die. I want revenge on this world! Because I have always been easygoing, everyone thinks they can bully me, so everyone tells me that the overall situation is paramount. But no one has ever helped me uphold justice. Since that's the case, let no one live. After all, this is a world without justice."
Sitting on the sofa, Qin Kewei suddenly started to laugh, her laughter gradually becoming louder, and finally sounding somewhat arrogant. If anyone saw her current deranged state, they would surely feel fear, because she had become unrecognizable.
After entering the extreme, Qin Kewei began her revenge. At this moment, she regarded the entire world as her enemy. Since her enemy was the whole world, she had to take revenge. And the means of revenge absolutely could not be casual; it had to be unforgettable.
"I heard that mutated beasts have crossed the Great Wall. When the mutated beasts surround Yanjing, and the city walls suddenly collapse, I wonder how many people will die, hehe..." Qin Kewei's mind had become somewhat abnormal as she contemplated ways of mutual destruction.
