Chapter 81 The Caution Against Lust

"If you don't mind, you can treat me as your older sister! I don't have a younger brother either, and I'd like to know what it's like to have one.

" "Really?" Duan Tianya's lips curled into a smile, though Bingjie couldn't see it.

"Yes! You can treat me as your older sister when you're alone! "

"Okay, don't go back on your word.

" Bingjie said calmly, "What's there to regret? That's what I told you, and I really will.

" Duan Tianya didn't say anything more and began watching the movie.

Walking on the school path bathed in a pale yellow light, Duan Tianya still held Bingjie's hand.

Bingjie tried to pull her hand away again, but Duan Tianya gripped it even tighter.

Bingjie was a little annoyed, "Why won't you let go!" Duan Tianya smiled mischievously,

"What's wrong with a younger brother holding his older sister's hand! Let me hold on a little longer!

" "Hey! You're a really strange younger brother! You can't hold my hand forever, you'll have to let go eventually."

Duan Tianya gently breathed into her ear, "Once I've got my hands on something, I won't let go!

" "Heh! Can you hold on forever?

" "That's hard to say!

" "Alright, stop fooling around.

" Duan Tianya said, "Okay, okay," but his hand showed no sign of letting go.

"What do you think of this movie?" Bingjie asked.

"Not bad!

" "So, who do you think Wang Jiazhi really likes?

" "Kuang Yumin!

" "Why do you say that?

" "She's willing to die with him. If she doesn't like him to the point of loving him to death, then she's out of her mind."

"How so?

" "Actually, Wang Jiazhi doesn't understand the grand principles of national salvation. Her background gives her a deep-seated, bewildered pain. She needs salvation; she needs to find a new purpose in life and a reason for existence."

Kuang Yumin's appearance provides an opportunity for her fate to be saved. In that era, a woman abandoned by the times and her family needs to be saved, and almost always has to rely on a man.

Kuang was excellent, but he suffered from the same flaw as all excellent young men: a fear of the happiness around him, leading him to seek refuge in a grand ideal. In reality, they fell in love at first sight, didn't they?

"You could have done it three years ago!" Wasn't that a saying? Kuang knew this too, but what he offered her wasn't a concrete commitment, but rather a symbolic social life: acting in a new play and assassinating a traitor.

Duan Tianya suddenly paused.

"Go on! Your viewpoint is unique!

" "It's just so-so!

" "So, do you think Wang Jiazhi liked Mr. Yi?

" "It should be said that Mr. Yi understood Wang Jiazhi best. His enormous diamond ring, her abuse, almost conquered her, but his hasty signing of the papers to send her on her way showed Mr. Yi's kindness.

But I'm certain Wang Jiazhi didn't like Mr. Yi; she liked Kuang Yumin. Their joint execution was perhaps the best possible ending.

" Bingjie suddenly looked puzzled!

"You really think so?"

Is there something wrong?

No! I just think your idea is really unique! Very unique, but I like it! Hehe!

Chapter Eighty-Two: Little Li Flying Dagger

Duan Tianya suddenly felt very happy.

Suddenly, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Bingjie's shoulders hunched slightly, and Duan Tianya took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Aren't you cold?

Duan Tianya smiled again. Yes, I am, but I hope you're not cold.

Bingjie smiled too. It's so nice to have a younger brother; he knows how to care for his older sister.

The two of them inadvertently arrived at the door of their dormitory room.

A man stood at the door.

Because the man was standing at the door, Duan Tianya had to pay attention to him.

A very handsome man.

He smiled when he saw Bingjie.

When he saw the coat she was wearing, his smile became obviously unnatural.

When he saw Duan Tianya, his expression revealed a mixture of jealousy, hatred, and disappointment.

Bingjie exclaimed happily, "Ye Kai, you're here!

" Hearing the name Ye Kai, Duan Tianya remembered the Little Li Flying Dagger.

Ye Kai, the successor of Li Xunhuan!

The Little Li Flying Dagger, never missing its mark.

The man named Ye Kai didn't answer Bingjie, but coldly asked, "Who is he?"

Bingjie was about to speak when Duan Tianya tugged at her hand.

Bingjie looked at Duan Tianya strangely, unsure of his meaning.

Duan Tianya said, "Your name is Ye Kai.

" "Yes!" Ye Kai stared coldly into Duan Tianya's eyes.

"Your name is Ye Kai, of course you know how to throw daggers!

" Before he finished speaking, Duan Tianya felt a flash of light, and he instinctively moved his shoulder.

He kicked out.

Ye Kai fell, landing five meters away with a loud thud and a muffled groan.

Duan Tianya leaned against the wall, determined not to fall.

A throwing dagger was embedded in his shoulder!

The blade sank into his shoulder, the hilt gleaming with a blue light.

Tianya, Bingjie suddenly knelt on the concrete floor.

Hearing this cry, Duan Tianya's blood rushed, his vision went black, and he collapsed.

"Tianya, what's wrong! What's wrong!" Bingjie held the fallen Duan Tianya.

In the distance, Ye Kai struggled for a long time before finally standing up, leaning against the wall.

He walked step by step to her door.

"Get out! What else do you want!

" Ye Kai, blood trickling from his mouth, suddenly turned ferocious.

"Tell me, you like him, don't you?

" "Get out! Yes, I like him. What's it to you? How can you hurt someone like that? I haven't even agreed to be your girlfriend yet, what right do you have to treat him like this?

" "Fine," Ye Kai grinned, letting out a sinister laugh. "Since you say that, you can wait to collect his corpse!"

With that, he turned and walked away without looking back.

Bingjie was stunned, staring at the unconscious Duan Tianya. She truly didn't know what to do.

She opened the door, helped Duan Tianya to the bed, and just dialed the emergency number.

Suddenly, Duan Tianya sat up in bed, struggling to take off his clothes. It was too hot, too hot, unbearably hot!

Bingjie threw down her phone and rushed to his side, laying him down on the bed.

Duan Tianya suddenly had red eyes, grabbed her bra, and pulled her onto him.

Chapter 83: Sister Became His Woman

Bingjie panicked and quickly tried to cover her bra.

But Duan Tianya, as if possessed, kept pulling at it.

Bingjie was both ashamed and angry. *Slap!* She slapped Duan Tianya across the face.

Duan Tianya's eyes widened for a couple of seconds, then his senses seemed to return.

He raised his hand and sealed his pressure points.

Bingjie sat nervously on the floor, watching Duan Tianya pant heavily. His veins seemed about to burst, his face was flushed, his body was twisting, and his legs were kicking incessantly.

Bingjie was terrified. "

Tianya, what's wrong with you?

" Duan Tianya nodded painfully, as if using all his strength, and said intermittently, "Go quickly, find, find Zhang Meiran, come, come... I think I've been poisoned by aphrodisiacs, hurry, hurry and call her. I can't take it anymore.

" Bingjie quickly got up from the floor, grabbed her phone, and dialed Zhang Meiran's number.

"Hello!" "Is this Meiran? This is Bingjie. Where are you?

" "I'm back in my hometown. What's wrong?

" "Oh!" Bingjie almost fainted. "Back in my hometown!

" She hung up the phone weakly.

Duan Tianya's legs kicked even more violently, his hands gripping the blanket, and he began to howl in agony.

Bingjie stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do.

But when she heard Ye Kai say he was going to collect his body, she froze, lunging at Duan Tianya.

At this moment, Duan Tianya still had a sliver of consciousness.

He pushed Bingjie away. "Get out! Get away! Don't you know what I'm going to do?

" Bingjie got up from the ground. She walked to Duan Tianya and took off her clothes one by one—outer garment, pants, bra, mini underwear…

She calmly lay on top of Duan Tianya.

"What are you doing? Get away! You're my sister. I only want you to be my sister."

Two pure tears fell onto Duan Tianya's face.

Even if I were your sister, I wouldn't stand by and watch you suffer like this.

No, Duan Tianya tried to refuse again.

But his mind was already clouded.

Desire began to dominate his body. The most tender, burning lips in the world covered his desire.

His movements became less graceful, and their bodies quickly intertwined.

Without prelude, Duan Tianya entered Bingjie's body amidst her pain.

...

Bingjie's vision gradually blurred, and an unprecedented pleasure appeared after a moment of pain.

She knew that her entanglement with this man in this life had truly begun.

The next day, morning.

Duan Tianya woke up and looked down to see an elegant woman curled up in his arms. She slept so soundly, so peacefully, with a few tears at the corners of her eyes.

Duan Tianya suddenly felt very happy.

It was a very special kind of happiness, like a gentle breeze caressing his face, seeping into his very being, making him feel completely refreshed...

He smiled.

He wanted an older sister, but he was truly a jinx.

How was he supposed to face her now that she had woken up?

Chapter 84 Drawing Eyebrows for His Sister

Time never stops for anyone's request.

When Bingjie woke up, the first thing she saw was herself lying in Duan Tianya's arms.

Those familiar yet unfamiliar eyes were staring intently at him.

"Sister, you're awake?

" Duan Tianya gently touched her eyelashes with his finger, startling Bingjie into shrinking back into the covers.

Suddenly, an eyebrow pencil appeared in Duan Tianya's hand.

"Sister, don't shrink back! I'm going to draw your eyebrows.

" "Stop it, I'm getting up," Bingjie opened one eye.

"No, I must draw them for you, tilt your head up a little.

" Bingjie was flustered, unsure how to deal with her mischievous younger brother.

But she obediently tilted her head closer to his chest.

Duan Tianya gently began to draw her eyebrows with the brown eyebrow pencil, his movements slow and his gaze tender.

"Sister! Do you like it?

" Bingjie nodded slightly, her eyes closed.

"I like it!

" "Then I'll draw your eyebrows every day, until we're old, will you like that?

" "I like it, but I don't have that kind of luck.

" "Why don't you have that kind of luck? Don't you like your little brother?

" "I like it, but a little brother can only ever be a little brother.

" Duan Tianya's fingers, holding an eyebrow pencil for the first time, moved with fluid grace and skill.

Bingjie opened her beautiful eyes, a hint of reproach in her voice, "Do you often draw eyebrows for girls? How come your movements are so skillful?

" Duan Tianya smiled, "Sister, you've wronged your little brother. I'm not as fickle as you say! Maybe I drew your eyebrows in a past life.

" "Is that so?

" Bingjie closed her eyes, biting her lip. Seemingly in pain, she said, "I really hope you're just a dream of mine.

" "Is this dream beautiful?

" "Beautiful!

" But it was ultimately just a dream.

Duan Tianya slowly put down the pencil, saying softly, "It's good that it's beautiful!

" Bingjie wanted to say something, but her trembling red lips remained silent.

"Thank you, sister. You saved me.

" Bingjie sighed, her face sorrowful. How could I possibly ignore the pain you suffered because of me?

"Actually, you could have done it. You didn't have to save me.

" Bingjie smiled and shook her head. "Perhaps someone could, but I can't.

" Duan Tianya nodded.

"Do you regret it?

" "What do you think?

" Looking into Bingjie's tender eyes, Duan Tianya finally couldn't resist lowering his head and covering her lips with his.

"No!" Bingjie pushed him away.

Duan Tianya's eyes were full of questions.

"Don't touch me again.

" "Why?" Duan Tianya was completely confused.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and ruin everyone's lives.

" Duan Tianya tried to hug Bingjie again.

Bingjie pushed him away resolutely once more.

"Just forget it! Yesterday was to save you. Don't think I really like you!

" "What?"

Duan Tianya's expression changed drastically, and he loosened his grip on her.

"Turn around! I need to get dressed!" Bingjie suddenly said, blushing.

Chapter 85 There is a kind of beauty that can make people forget the pain.

Sister, is there any part of you I haven't seen?

Bingjie reached out and patted Duan Tianya's shoulder.

Ouch! Duan Tianya cried out.

What's wrong? Bingjie's head poked out from under the covers.

She saw Duan Tianya frowning and clutching her arm.

The throwing knife was still stuck in his shoulder.

It hurts a lot, doesn't it? Bingjie asked with pity.

Duan Tianya forced a smile. Please, do you think it's stuck in a piece of wood?

Then I'll go to the hospital with you!

No need, go get me some gauze and alcohol.

Alcohol will do if I don't have any. Okay. Good!

Bingjie

lifted the covers and walked to

the floor. Just as she put her feet on the floor, she saw Duan Tianya staring at her without blinking. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she said, "Don't look!" and pulled the covers back over herself.

Duan Tianya swallowed hard. He wasn't unfamiliar with beautiful women; all his women were beauties. But this woman's body was simply breathtaking—smooth, supple, and curvaceous. One glance was enough to make one's blood boil with uncontrollable lust.

Even the pain was forgotten!

Bingjie, having been seen through by him while fully conscious, blushed crimson to her neck. She poked his forehead with her finger. "I've heard of lustful people, but I've never heard of someone as recklessly lustful as you! What, do you want to die?!

" "Yes," Duan Tianya laughed.

"Then behave yourself. If Zhang Meiran knew you like this, she might cripple you!

" "She won't be angry. I've gained a good sister like you; she'll be very happy.

" "You wish! Remember, no matter what, don't mention us in front of her. If you do, I'm moving out.

" She looked at Duan Tianya with amusement.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen this before?

" Then she started groping around under the covers for something.

"Is this it?"

Duan Tianya pinched a thin, almost transparent undergarment between his index finger and thumb.

Bingjie snatched it away, her face flushed with anger. "Tell me, did you hide it?"

"Sister, I'm more wronged than Dou E! I! Look, I picked it up from the floor.

" Bingjie was also puzzled; how did her private parts end up on the floor? Thinking of his actions on her last night, her face flushed again.

"Turn your head away, I need to wear it.

" Duan Tianya almost fainted, but what could he do with a sister like this? He could only turn his head away.

Bingjie handed Duan Tianya some alcohol and gauze.

"Let's go to the hospital! What if you pull the knife out and the wound bleeds a lot?

" "Don't worry, I've already pressed several major acupoints around it. Pulling it out will only leave a small amount of blood. Sister, don't worry, I'm used to bleeding.

" "Nonsense! Can blood just flow like that? Are you sure you're okay? If not, we'll go to the hospital."

"It's alright. Apply the wine evenly around the wound.

" Bingjie slowly poured the wine onto the gauze, then gently laid Duan Tianya's arm down. She used the wine-soaked gauze to slowly wipe around his wound.

After wiping three times, Duan Tianya closed his eyes, focused his energy, and drew all his qi back to his dantian.

Blood flows with qi; when qi is still, blood is still.

Instantly, the blood in Duan Tianya's body was frozen.

He gritted his teeth slightly, his other hand gripping the hilt of the knife.

Bingjie's heart leaped into her throat.

Duan Tianya exerted a sharp force. A spurt of blood gushed from the blade.

That was all!

Bingjie quickly applied the cut gauze to his wound and swiftly wrapped it with tape. Duan Tianya

stared blankly at the hilt of the knife.

The hilt, which had originally gleamed with a blue light, had returned to the original color of the fine steel.

Silver-white!

He gently ran his fingers along the sharp blade. The knife was so fast it sent chills down his spine!

He was recalling the feeling of the knife piercing his skin.

Chapter 86 The Tragic Flying Knife
Duan Tianya drank the millet porridge Bingjie had cooked for him and asked with a smile,

"Are you and that Ye Kai getting along well?

" Bingjie ladled porridge as she spoke, "No way, he's been pursuing me for half a year, but I haven't accepted him. He just keeps coming to see me like today.

" "You don't like him? He's quite handsome.

" Bingjie laughed, "It's not that he's bad-looking, but I feel he's not very reliable. He seems to have violent tendencies, a bit like that guy in the TV series 'Don't Talk to Strangers.' The protagonist's wife would get beaten up whenever she talked to a stranger, and then he'd kneel on the ground begging for her forgiveness. I don't want to meet someone like that.

" Duan Tianya still smiled, "You haven't met someone like that. The person you've met is much more ruthless than that. He throws knives at his rivals at the drop of a hat.

" But to be honest, his knife is indeed very fast.

He told me some things. He was a huge fan of Gu Long's novels as a child, especially *The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword*. He adored the character Li Xunhuan, and even took a break from school to study at Shaolin Temple on Mount Song for several years, paying for lessons. His surname was Ye, but his original name wasn't Ye Kai. To express his love for Li Xunhuan, he changed his name to Ye Kai,

because Ye Kai was Li Xunhuan's disciple.

Duan Tianya fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he said, "He's actually a very tragic person!"

Bingjie didn't understand. "Why do you say that?

" she asked. "There are two kinds of people in the world: those who live in a world they create, and those who live in other people's worlds, finding their reason for existence only in the creations of others. He was the latter.

He lived in the world of Gu Long's novels.

Gu Long became the director of his life.

Moreover, Li Xunhuan was also a tragic character; his most trusted brother took away the woman he loved most, and he lived a life of suffering."

Bingjie nodded. "What you said seems to make sense.

" "What does he do for a living?"

"He works at the Municipal Construction Bank. I think he's a minor leader.

" "Someone like that shouldn't be a leader.

" "Why?

" "People who use art as a guide in life aren't suited to leadership. Art is beautiful, but reality is cruel!

" "I reserve my opinion on your statement. Some artists are also politicians! Like the founders of our country.

Yes, they once used a passion that's hard for people today to match to ignite the rebellious will of the nation, but once that passion couldn't be suppressed, it led to utter madness, bringing the real world into an ideal world, like in the 1960s and 70s."

Bingjie didn't answer, only smiled.

"What you're saying is all I don't understand. I'll watch some bodybuilding for five minutes.

" She turned on the TV; the news was playing.

Bingjie said, "You're injured. Don't go to the speech tonight. Stay home and rest. I'll make you some chicken soup to help you recover.

" "It's nothing. I'm basically healed. What's this? The American president was assassinated during a speech; his intestines were spilled out, but he still finished the speech before calmly seeking medical attention. How could I not do that?"

"Brother!" Bingjie placed her hand on Duan Tianya's forehead and wiped it. "He's the president!"

"Heh! You look down on your brother. Anyone can be president if they want to.

" Bingjie shook her head. "Don't talk nonsense. You're right that I'm healed. I can't argue with you. If you want to go to the speech tonight, I'll go with you, but you have to listen to me on everything else.

" "Of course. Since you're my sister, I'll follow your arrangements."

Chapter 87 How Fast is His Knife?
Breaking News Now Broadcast.

Duan Tianya and Bingjie simultaneously turned their faces to the television.

This morning, during a police operation to apprehend a suspect, a brief hand-to-hand combat ensued between special police and the suspect. Twelve special police officers from the Beijing Special Police Detachment were killed by the suspect using throwing knives. The suspect's knife-throwing skills were highly advanced; each knife pierced through bulletproof vests and struck the officers' hearts.

The suspect has evaded police pursuit and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

This morning, Liu Qi, the Secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, convened an emergency meeting, demanding that the police, regardless of the number of personnel deployed or the cost, bring the perpetrator to justice.

The Ministry of Public Security also held an emergency meeting this morning, issuing its 77th Class A wanted notice since the founding of the People's Republic of China, offering a reward of 1 million yuan for the suspect's capture nationwide.

The suspect's current situation is now being reported.

Ye Kai, male, born in 1973, native of Shangcheng, Henan Province. He dropped out of school in the fifth grade to study martial arts at Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan Province for five years. He later returned to school and was admitted to Beijing Business School, where he earned a master's degree in economics. After graduation, he worked at the Beijing branch of China Construction Bank as the director of the credit department. Before the incident, he spent three months transferring 50 million RMB from the credit department to approximately 5,000 impoverished farmers in 28 provinces across the country. According to the police, because the remittances were scattered, the amounts were small, and he did not use his real name, it was almost impossible to recover the money without finding him. Even if he was found, only a portion could be recovered. A

suspect has been identified...

The two exchanged glances.

Duan Tianya's expression was solemn.

"Good job, kid.

" Bingjie shook her head sadly. He was too irrational.

"Actually, he didn't do anything wrong. I like guys like him. If he didn't like you, we could definitely be friends.

" "He hurt you!"

"Yes, but he's a talented person.

" "I think my choice was right. If I followed someone like that, wouldn't I be heartbroken for the rest of my life?

" "A little bit!

" "People who live in their ideals are terrifying.

" "There's nothing he wouldn't dare to do.

" "Where do you think he is now?

" "Of course, hiding somewhere.

" Duan Tianya didn't speak, but a hint of worry appeared on his face. Would this guy let Bingjie go like that?

"Obviously not. He's not the kind of person who's afraid of death. From now on, I have to be with her at all times, protect her, and not let anything happen to her.

" "Last time, I wasn't prepared at all. This time, I have to be extremely careful." Thinking about it, he was sweating profusely. His throwing knife was no joke, yet that kid managed to get a scratch on him. The one who tries to catch the swallow gets pecked by it. There's really nothing I can do!"

Duan Tianya looked at Bingjie and smiled, "You don't need to go tonight, right? It's safer at home.

" "Go? Of course I have to go. Is hiding at home really safe?" "That vandal, can this door really stop him? It's better if I come with you. If he throws a knife, your brother can help me block it, right?"

Bingjie finished speaking and smiled sheepishly.

Duan Tianya's eyes widened.

Chapter 88 War is the only way to unify China.

Sister, aren't you being too kind? Your brother is your shield!

Hmph, don't you want that? Do you want me to end up like those special police?

That guy likes you too much to even think about using a throwing knife on you!

Things are different now. He probably doesn't recognize anyone anymore, killing anyone he sees! His eyes are probably bloodshot!

Hehe! Sister, that's not right of you.

What?

Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?

" You want to save him.

Okay! I'll go save him, I'm going right now, and he's about to walk out.

You actually took it seriously? How could I bear to let you go see that bloodthirsty guy?

Did you prepare for the speech?

Whatever it is, it's fine! It's not a big deal.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The Peking University auditorium, with over 8,000 seats, was packed.

The president gave a speech and then left.

The host announced.

Duan Tianya, Number One.

Applause!

Duan Tianya stood in front of a platform with a microphone, looking around.

A smile appeared on his face.

"I am very happy to stand here, because many of the great Confucian scholars I admire have stood here to give speeches.

I am honored to stand here today. Newton said that I have achieved something because I stood on the shoulders of giants. I can also say that standing where the great Confucian scholars of the past once stood, I feel really good.

" A burst of laughter came from below.

"What should I say?

" Another burst of laughter came from below.

"Originally, the title of my speech was... but I feel that this title is really not to my liking, so I would like to say something I really want to say..."

A murmur rippled through the room. Some people clearly showed nervousness. This speech was being broadcast live, and some were naturally afraid that this strange student might say something outrageous. That could be fatal to some people.

Duan Tianya paused, and his expression became solemn.

The teachers and students below quieted down.

"To achieve unification, we must inevitably wage war against the United States and Japan.

" Silence fell.

"Chinese history spans five thousand years, with approximately 2700 years of division and 2300 years of unification—roughly equal.

There have been many reasons for division in Chinese history, but only one reason for unification

: War!

" Duan Tianya made a sharp slashing motion in the air.

Silence.

And it seems even quieter than before.

If anyone says I'm lying,

then please give examples to refute me. In Chinese history, when has any unification been achieved through negotiation, rather than through iron and blood?

Some people might think, "What does it matter to me whether Taiwan is accepted or not?" These people generally live in their own world. But I want to ask them, if someone puts a vicious dog at your doorstep, watching you day and night, ready to bite you if you're not careful, would you still live a carefree life?

I think if you're a normal person, you wouldn't.

To put it more broadly

, the Chen Shui-bian government, supported by the US and Japan, is just such a dog lying at our country's doorstep, and a vicious one at that.

Therefore, as long as the US and Japan, who support this vicious dog, are not defeated...

Our unification can only be a dream!

Chapter 89 The Role of Wisdom

Peace is hard-won. The liberation of China cost the lives of 30 million people, which is why we, the Chinese nation, have the self-respect, self-confidence, and self-reliance we have today. If those martyrs who sacrificed for the Republic had all lived on in disgrace, the outcome of World War II might have been rewritten. Our martyrs used their blood and bodies to the fullest extent to restrain the convergence of German and Japanese fascism.

However, throughout Chinese history, there have always been people who sacrificed their personal interests for the greater good, who devoted themselves to the self-reliance and strength of the nation, and who gave their lives for others. To paraphrase the words of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries, these people are the backbone of China.

I don't want to digress too much. Regarding the Taiwan issue, setting aside the topic of war, no matter how well-intentioned the proposal, it can only be a fantasy. Just yesterday, a spokesperson for the US government said that they do not support an independence referendum. The Taiwan authorities immediately objected, saying it was a referendum on joining the UN. The US immediately said this was a mistake, and then they said they supported a referendum on joining the UN.

Nonsense. A referendum on UN membership is essentially a referendum on independence. It's like giving you three apples in the morning and four in the afternoon; if you're unhappy, you can change it to four apples in the morning and three in the afternoon.

Same effect.

Without US support, would Chen Shui-bian dare to be so reckless and arrogant?

From this, we can conclude that the US is the absolute reason China cannot unify.

Without defeating the US, China can forget about unification.

Now, let me talk about Japan. The most memorable thing about this country is the Nanjing Massacre, where 300,000 Chinese were slaughtered. These beasts almost wiped out all the men, women, and children in Nanjing; their goal was to leave no one alive.

These beasts almost succeeded.

What kind of people are the Japanese?

They are a people who will attack you if you don't attack them.

Basically, they are a people who haven't fully evolved because they haven't completely shed their basic animalistic attributes.

Naturally, there is a cause and effect: the Japanese massacred 300,000 of our compatriots in Nanjing, and the two atomic bombs dropped by the US also killed approximately 300,000 Japanese.

But even after the war, the Japanese still eagerly aligned themselves with the Americans. Not long ago, there was news that Junichiro Koizumi knelt before George W. Bush during a meeting. This isn't my opinion; it's from the *New York Times*, complete with a picture.

Just last year, Japan passed the "Situation Protection Law for Areas Surrounding Japan," which, simply put, means it wants to intervene in the Taiwan issue and get involved in a war between the US and China.

Therefore, to achieve unification,

a war between the US and China, or between China and Japan, is inevitable.

Undoubtedly, war is a continuation of politics.

War is also a contest of comprehensive national strength, but it's definitely not like boxing, where a certain weight class can fight a different weight class. For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, in the Battle of Red Cliffs between Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao, the allied forces of Sun and Liu had less than 50,000 men, while Cao Cao claimed 800,000. Even if Cao Cao didn't have 800,000, he must have had at least 200,000! Yet, how did they manage to drive the allied forces back to their homeland?

This is the power of wisdom.

Perhaps you'll say that's an allusion to Chen's yellowed words, but let me ask you, during the Liberation War, why did the Communist Party, at its lowest point, reduce its 300,000 troops to less than 30,000 after being defeated by Chiang Kai-shek, yet ultimately manage to turn the tide and defeat the Kuomintang army of 8 million regular troops?

What do these two examples from ancient and modern times illustrate?

There is no enemy that cannot be defeated; it depends on how you fight and who fights them!

But this doesn't mean we can daydream about defeating the US and Japan just around the corner. On the contrary, while the US does represent the highest level of modern technology, I don't believe that's the main factor determining the outcome of a war.

So what are the decisive factors in the outcome of a war?

I'm just offering a humble opinion to spark discussion; as for how to implement it, that depends on everyone's joint efforts.

My speech ends here!

Thank you!

Thunderous applause.

Duan Tianya didn't hear it.

He saw Ye Kai.

He also saw Bingjie, his sister.

He glanced at the throwing knife with a gleaming blue hilt beside Bingjie's neck.

His heart turned to ice.

Chapter Ninety: The Blade of Love.
Ye Kai stood behind Bingjie, knife in hand, a smile on his face.

Duan Tianya suddenly felt an urge to kill; he hadn't felt this way in a long time, the urge to kill.

Duan Tianya's eyes were filled with resentment, burning with the flames of hatred. This gaze attracted many people; everyone's eyes followed his gaze, including those of over a dozen cameras.

Many witnessed this breathtaking scene. Thousands stood up.

Some quietly dialed 110 (the police emergency

number). Duan Tianya was ten meters away from Bingjie.

No matter how fast Duan Tianya's steps were, they couldn't outrun Ye Kai's hand.

Duan Tianya walked step by step towards Ye Kai.

Ye Kai wasn't nervous at all; he even had a smile on his face.

The students sitting on either side of Ye Kai tried to leave.

Ye Kai roared, "Don't leave!"

The students who were about to leave sat down hesitantly. Duan

Tianya walked up to Bingjie and then to Ye Kai.

"Are you scared, sister?

" "No!" Bingjie tried to smile, but she couldn't.

Duan Tianya saw a hint of barely concealed panic in Bingjie's eyes.

He inexplicably felt he had almost committed a mistake he could never forgive himself for.

He tilted his head slightly towards Ye Kai, a smile on his face.

"You're very confident?

" "I have no reason not to be confident. The distance you're standing at gives me confidence.

" Duan Tianya smiled again, this time with a hint of mockery. There's nothing wrong with being confident, but anything taken to extremes will only backfire.

Ye Kai scoffed. "Yesterday you were standing much farther away than you are now, and you still couldn't escape my flying knife. How could you possibly succeed at this distance?"

Duan Tianya stroked his chin. "Yes, no matter how fast your throwing knife is, you only have one.

" "Wrong. Don't you know that no one ever knew how many throwing knives Little Li Xunhuan carried?

" Duan Tianya laughed loudly.

To everyone's astonishment, he made his move.

When everyone thought the hostage was doomed,

Duan Tianya caught the throwing knife.

And he grabbed Ye Kai's hand as he tried to pull out another knife.

Duan Tianya's smile was melancholic. "You could actually be faster."

With a snap, the throwing knife broke in two.

Ye Kai's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

"I lost.

" "You didn't.

" "You were just distracted, and I believe there's no throwing knife in this world faster than yours.

I believe you can become Li Xunhuan's successor.

" "Then why did I lose?

" "Because you still have feelings; you couldn't bear to kill the person you love."

"I dared to attack? Because I saw the feelings you had for her in your eyes.

" Ye Kai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Then why are you unharmed after being poisoned by me?

" Duan Tianya asked meaningfully, "Do you know what kind of poison is on your throwing knife?

" Ye Kai shook his head, "My master taught me how to make it. He only told me it's one of the most difficult poisons to cure in the world.

" "Yes," Duan Tianya smiled, "Didn't your master tell you what kind of poison it is?"

"No!

It's a drug that stimulates the relationship between men and women; one night of passion is enough to cure it.

" Ye Kai was stunned.

He clearly didn't believe it. "Then you, then you?

" "Yes, she saved me!

" Ye Kai's face turned ashen, his eyes tightly shut.

"So be it! I've been utterly defeated. What face do I have to live in this world?"

Duan Tianya saw the most desperate look in his eyes that he had ever seen.

"Brother, may I know your surname?"

"Of course, my surname is Duan.

" "Brother Duan, I only want to ask you one question: if we weren't on opposing sides, could we be brothers?

" Duan Tianya's heart jolted. "Of course, that's what I wanted to say too.

" Ye Kai smiled, letting out a long sigh. "With you taking care of her, I can rest assured.

" Duan Tianya had a bad feeling. "Brother Duan, you...?

" Ye Kai used the hand Duan Tianya was tightly holding to grasp Duan Tianya's hand in return.

He laughed three times, "Good! Good! Good!"

Then, with a sudden swift movement, he plunged the broken knife in his other hand into his heart.

"No!" Duan Tianya cried out.

He helped Ye Kai fall.

Ye Kai's eyes slowly closed.

A smile remained on his face.

He passed away peacefully.

Duan Tianya's tears streamed down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry, brother, you are a hero.

I owe you."

Brother, you can take down all your enemies.

But you fell to your own love-fueled blade!

From now on, the number one blade in the world will no longer be Little Li's Flying Dagger.

Instead, it will be

... the Love- Flying Dagger!

Chapter Ninety-One: Encountering Torture and Interrogation
Bingjie's vision went black, and she suddenly collapsed to the ground. Duan

Tianya quickly caught her.

Reporters and cameramen frantically snapped photos.

The police arrived, heavily armed, and the area within three steps was quickly cordoned off.

Duan Tianya picked up Bingjie and started to walk out.

A heavily armed SWAT officer stepped forward and blocked his way. "Sorry, you can't leave now.

" "Take your hand away.

" Duan Tianya roared.

"Sorry, you are involved in the case, you can't leave.

" Duan Tianya kicked the SWAT officer away.

Immediately, more than a dozen long guns were pressed against his forehead.

Duan Tianya's heart was bleeding with hatred. If it weren't for Bingjie, he would have killed all the police officers who were blocking his way.

A policewoman approached.

She held out her hand to him, "Give it to me!"

Duan Tianya glanced at Bingjie, who was still unconscious.

He pinched her philtrum.

With a soft moan, Bingjie woke up.

Looking at Duan Tianya, she asked, "What happened? Are you alright? Are you hurt?

" "I'm not hurt. How are you?

" "I'm fine too!

" The police handcuffed Duan Tianya.

Duan Tianya and Bingjie were taken away by the police in full view of everyone.

They were put in different police cars.

A small spotlight shone on Duan Tianya's head.

Duan Tianya remained silent.

A policeman had been questioning him for five hours, and he hadn't said a word.

He couldn't take it anymore. He

slammed his hand on the table, "Are you going to talk or not?"

Duan Tianya remained expressionless.

He didn't answer.

"Fine, you won't talk, huh?" The policeman, enraged, suddenly smiled sinisterly.

"I'll show you the price of resisting the police.

" "Xiao Wang, bring me the book.

" A policeman holding a pen obediently took a large book from a drawer.

"Are you going to talk or not?

" Duan Tianya remained expressionless.

"Fine.

" Suddenly, the policeman pressed the book against Duan Tianya's stomach and punched him hard in the abdomen.

With a muffled groan, Duan Tianya bit his lip.

After the policeman struck him dozens of times, blood flowed from Duan Tianya's lips.

*Pfft*, Duan Tianya spat the blood onto the policeman's face, and as a result, Duan Tianya also received two hard punches to the face.

"Damn it, are you going to talk or not? If you don't, I'll cripple you.

" Duan Tianya licked the blood from his lips and said calmly, "I don't believe you can kill me.

Killing you would just be an accident; I have something even more ruthless than killing you.

" "Do you believe me?"

Huang Kuan, what are you doing?

A middle-aged policeman in his fifties, wearing a large silver star and a rank insignia shaped like a wheat stalk, walked in, followed by seven or eight other officers.

The old policeman sternly addressed the officer, "Huang Kuan, what kind of behavior is this? What's going on? As a veteran detective with over twenty years of experience, how could you use torture to extract confessions? Do you even want me to continue working here?"

"Sir, I... I was thinking of you. I know you're under a lot of pressure. One phone call, one telephone line, and a brother's life is at stake!

Are the deaths of twelve policemen enough to justify wrongful imprisonment?

" "Sir!

" "Don't say anymore. I know you mean well, but the way you did things was unacceptable. Go to the disciplinary committee and write a self-criticism!

" "You must be Duan Tianya!

" Duan Tianya smiled at him.

"Yes, I am.

" "Hello, I'm Liao Yihong, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. I'm very sorry for what my subordinates did.

" Duan Tianya sighed.

"I'm a very magnanimous person. Everyone is upset about what happened."

"If you were asking me, I would have already told you what I know.

" Director Liao chuckled. "Your teacher told us everything, and there are records from over a dozen surveillance cameras on the spot. We believe you haven't committed a crime. If possible, you'll need to give a statement to our officers. This is our procedure. After that, you can leave, but if this case requires your presence in the future, we hope you'll be available at any time.

" "Any questions, Duan Tianya?

" Duan Tianya nodded.

"A leader is a leader. Since you've said so, what can I say?

" When Duan Tianya walked out of the police station,

he saw Bingjie anxiously waiting by the station.

And Zhang Meiran too.

Chapter Ninety-Two

: Love is Always a Waste of Regret. Duan Tianya embraced Zhang Meiran, but his eyes were fixed on Bingjie.

He saw that Bingjie's worry was no less than Zhang Meiran's.

He felt the same way; he wanted to know if the police had subjected her to rough interrogation.

Zhang Meiran's embrace was warm.

Releasing Duan Tianya, Zhang Meiran said, half-teasingly, half-humorously, "Look how careless you were! I was only gone a few days, and you've gotten yourself into such big trouble! I just heard from Bingjie that you're connected to a case where many people have died. I thought... I thought you'd killed someone! My world almost turned dark! You know that?"

Duan Tianya gave a tired smile. "It's nothing!

" Bingjie's expression suddenly changed. "Tianya, what happened to your face? It's swollen! " Zhang Meiran also began to notice Duan Tianya's face. " Oh dear!

What happened? Did the police beat you up?" "It's nothing." "How can it be nothing ? They beat you up like this! We have to sue them. " "Forget it, sue them? Can we win against the police? " "The city police chief is a member of the city party committee and the secretary of the political and legal committee. Where can we sue them? The court? The political and legal committee oversees the courts. Do you think we can win against them?" "Does that mean the law is useless? " The fundamental law governing all human society is the law of blood price, and the rule of the law of blood price is that the strongest dictates. They are the bosses, and those who follow the bosses should naturally be obedient. Zhang Meiran looked confused. "This isn't like you!" Duan Tianya could only soothe her tender heart with a smile. "Of course not. When that policeman made his move, I wanted to kill him immediately, but I let it go because he was driven mad by his deceased brother. He said he witnessed his own brother die under Ye Kai's flying knife, and he almost went insane. " Bingjie nodded and said, " You understand him?" " Yes, I understand him. Who wouldn't react if they witnessed their brother being killed? " "I forgave him because of a special situation. Otherwise, regardless of whether he was a policeman or not, I would have made him suffer the consequences of his impulsiveness. " Zhang Meiran exclaimed in surprise, "You can't do anything foolish!" To paraphrase Huang Jianxiang, you're not fighting alone anymore! "That's right," Duan Tianya said, taking Zhang Meiran's hand. "Come on, let's have a good meal to calm my beautiful wife down. " Zhang Meiran persisted, "Are you really alright? " "If you were alright, how could I possibly eat? " Duan Tianya pinched Zhang Meiran's nose. "Yes, my beautiful teacher, you're really alright now. We've explained everything to the police! They've cleared us up; there's video evidence. Those corrupt police officers initially thought we were Ye Kai's accomplices! " "You? Who else could it be but you? " "Bingjie, of course. " "Okay, my dear teacher, I'm very hungry. Let's eat, and I'll tell you everything, okay? " "Of course! I was only worried about you. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Whatever you want to eat, I can make it for you!" Duan Tianya suddenly felt very happy. Meeting such a beautiful and affectionate teacher was truly his good fortune. "No, we have to eat out today! I love street food stalls, so you guys come with me! " Bingjie said. "Whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me. " Duan Tianya asked Zhang Meiran. "As long as you're happy, that's fine. I know a really good street food stall, come with me. " Several stir-fried dishes were served, and the three of them ate and chatted. Bingjie then recounted the whole story to Zhang Meiran. Duan Tianya added a few words at crucial points. After listening to their accounts, Zhang Meiran sighed. "I met Ye Kai before when he was pursuing Bingjie. He was handsome and refined, but I never imagined he'd even use a policeman in a fight and end up killing me. It's a good thing you didn't listen to me and accept him. He was a ticking time bomb; keeping him around would have caused him to explode any day." However, he was quite devoted, and devotion has always led to regret. It's better that he committed suicide, to avoid further trouble and end it all. Duan Tianya and Bingjie exchanged a glance, both feeling complicated upon hearing this. Chapter Ninety-Three: Deep Affection Duan Tianya suddenly said, "Teacher, I've adopted a sister. Do you like her? " Zhang Meiran was surprised. "Who did you adopt as your sister? " "Teacher Bingjie! " Zhang Meiran smiled. "You mean her? Of course I like her. Tell me honestly, how did you win her heart? " "No, when you weren't around, Bingjie was very good to me! I don't have a sister, so I had to take advantage of her. " Bingjie said, "This guy really knows how to take advantage of people. Forget it, I'd better not be his sister."

"How can that be?" Duan Tianya said with a beaming smile. "A gentleman's word is as good as water spilled on a horse; how can you go back on your word so easily?

" Bingjie blinked. "You're talking about gentlemen, but I'm just a young woman. A young woman's word doesn't have to be kept!

" "Ah!

" Duan Tianya almost fainted. He thought to himself, "That old Confucius, he didn't accomplish anything great, but his saying 'Only petty men and women are difficult to deal with' is truly as accurate as a universal law.

" Zhang Meiran felt a pang of pity seeing Duan Tianya's surprised expression. "

A-Jie, stop teasing him. It's not bad to have a younger brother like him. At least you'll have someone to run errands for you, right?

" Bingjie smiled, a radiant smile. "Oh, I didn't think of that. It seems having a younger brother who's always at my beck and call is a good thing!

" "From now on, when I'm feeling down, little brother, you'll have to accompany me shopping, to clear my head, and things like that. Can you do that?"

"Of course, no problem! I

'll be there anytime." Duan Tianya revealed a sinister smile. "I always listen to my sister, especially since you're my teacher! I'd go through fire and water for you.

" Bingjie's smile suddenly turned a little melancholic. "Now that I'm your sister, of course I won't make you go through fire and water." Actually, in her heart, she thought, "How could I not want to be his sister? Am I only content to be his sister?" But what could she do?

After dinner, Duan Tianya said, "I have something to do. Would you two be welcome to come to your place tonight?"

Before Zhang Meiran could speak, Bingjie said, "I don't mind, but I'm afraid someone will strongly protest."

"Who said that?" Zhang Meiran pretended to be indifferent.

"Go ahead and do your work if you're busy. But you must come tonight.

" Bingjie smiled ambiguously. "Come on, why would we women call a grown man to our place? You, um, you, aren't you?"

Zhang Meiran playfully scratched Bingjie's armpits, making Bingjie giggle uncontrollably.

Duan Tianya, watching the two beauties' playful antics, was almost mesmerized. If both beauties could stay by his side forever, it would truly be a great pleasure in life. However, his wish was something they would never accept. After lunch

, Duan Tianya went to Xueyan's classroom. Through the window, he saw the increasingly beautiful Xueyan, seemingly troubled by something.

Clearly, she wasn't paying attention in class.

Suddenly, she stood up. "Teacher, I have an urgent matter. Can I go out for a bit?

" The math teacher, wearing thick glasses, seeing that it was his prized student who had an emergency, put down his textbook, nodded, and said, "You have an urgent matter, I won't delay you. Go ahead, but remember to come back with a leave slip.

" "Okay, thank you, teacher," Xueyan rushed out of the classroom.

Duan Tianya grabbed her arm.

Xueyan, her face filled with worry, saw that it was Duan Tianya who had pulled her back. Overwhelmed with emotion, she threw herself into his arms.

Duan Tianya gently stroked her soft hair. "What's wrong? Did something happen? Where are you going?

" Xueyan sobbed, "I'm going to find you!

I saw you being arrested by the police during the speech contest. I asked everyone I could, asking them where the police took you, but no one could tell me. They all just told me to wait. I didn't sleep a wink last night, and I didn't hear a word in class this morning. The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. I was thinking of going directly to the police station to check on you.

" Duan Tianya hugged his dear sister even tighter, so tightly that Xueyan could hardly breathe.

But she didn't say anything. She was so worried about him, and now that he was alright, and holding her in his arms, she could truly feel his presence, which put her at ease.

Duan Tianya released her.

"Alright, did you eat lunch?"

"I can't eat!

" "How can that be! Come on, let's go eat. How can you have the energy for class if you don't eat?

" "What happened to your face?

" Duan Tianya asked helplessly, having been greeted by a clueless policeman.

"What kind of policeman is this? How could he hit you?" Xue Yan gently stroked his slightly swollen face, her hand trembling.

"Does it hurt?" she asked with concern

. "It hurt a little at first, but after you touched it, it doesn't hurt anymore.

" Xue Yan's face turned slightly red.

Duan Tianya cursed himself inwardly, "Damn it, what nonsense am I spouting?"

At the small restaurant, Duan Tianya ordered several dishes, but Xue Yan crossed out the expensive ones.

Duan Tianya disagreed, "How can that be?

If we're going to eat, we should eat well!" Xue Yan smiled sweetly, "I don't care what I eat. As long as I see you, I'm not hungry!

" Duan Tianya chuckled, "Ah! You're full just looking at me? Am I that ugly?"

"No, you know that's not what I meant. The food here isn't cheap. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you when we get back.

" "Okay, but you have to eat everything I order.

" Xueyan couldn't resist Duan Tianya's insistence, so she added two more dishes she had crossed off earlier, but she absolutely refused to add the most expensive stewed pig's trotters.

Duan Tianya had no choice but to let her have her way.

Duan Tianya was already full, and only ate symbolically with Xueyan.

Xueyan kept putting food on his plate.

Duan Tianya suddenly sighed, "With a good sister like you, what more could I ask for in life!

" "Yes!" Xueyan smiled, "You still have to complete the great cause of unification! Yan'er will help you!

" Duan Tianya suddenly shook his head, "Life is short. Most people who pursue lasting fame are unhappy. If they could live a peaceful life, who would want to go through all that trouble?

" "That's true! I'll go with you! Do whatever you want, go wherever you want, Yan'er will be with you anyway."

However, everyone wants to leave something behind in this world after living a lifetime, so as long as there's even a sliver of possibility, my goal is unstoppable.

Have you heard the saying, "Love because you love"? It doesn't mean loving a particular person, but rather that the beauty and incomprehensibility of love attract people to be so devoted to it.

I'm doing this because I want to do it, because in doing it, I can realize my life's value to the greatest extent and find psychological joy—that's all.

Anyway, I support you.

Lately, some students have been coming to see me.

Duan Tianya was puzzled. "What do they want?

" Xueyan blushed slightly. "They keep writing me strange letters, wanting to be my friend. One classmate even skips class every day, driving a Ferrari to wait for me at the school gate after school. You tell me, my house is only a few steps from school, why would I need to take a car?

" "How did you do that?

" Of course, I ignored them.

Duan Tianya suddenly thought of a strange question: if this girl became someone else's wife one day, would he be very happy?

But "if" is just "if," and a scenario that doesn't actually happen is never the same as reality.

But if that day really comes, he can only offer his blessings; he can't possess her, can he? For some reason, he felt his heart was very close to hers. He had been with many girls, but none had ever been so intimate, so spiritually connected. Regardless, bringing her to Beijing was the right decision.

"I can't go back tonight, something's come up. Prepare some good food for me tomorrow night."

"Okay, then remember to come back tomorrow night.

" "Okay!

" Duan Tianya escorted Xueyan back to her classroom after dinner.

As he walked out of the school gate, Duan Tianya saw a Ferrari parked there. A handsome boy stood by the gate, wearing a suit, his hair naturally tousled, his face slender, his gaze gentle yet firm.

Duan Tianya thought this kind of boy must be very attractive to girls, because Xueyan had said a student who drove a Ferrari waited for her after school every day. He couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

The boy walked towards him.

Duan Tianya stopped, intrigued.

"May I ask your relationship with Xueyan?

" Duan Tianya's gaze suddenly turned strange. "

Is this any of your business?"

"Yes, it is. I like her!

" Duan Tianya smiled. These days, boys are so bold, daring to speak their minds.

"If you like her, go tell her. Why are you telling me?

" "It's none of your business. I see she's very close to you, and of course, your closeness to her is none of my business.

" Duan Tianya suddenly became furious.

"Young man, liking someone isn't wrong!

But you also need to see if she likes you back!

With your carefree attitude, driving around in a sports car showing off every day, I wouldn't hand her over to you, even if she agreed. Are you a student? If you're a student, what are you doing skipping classes every day? You think driving a sports car is so great? Did you buy this car with your own money? Your parents probably bought it!" I don't care if your parents are officials or millionaires, what I want to tell you is that as a man, you must earn everything through your own strength. What you gain without your own ability is the least secure, you know? Relying on your parents—if your parents fall, will my Xueyan have to go with you to the ends of the earth? Tell me, what ability do you have to protect her, to cherish her?

Do you have it?

The boy's face paled at Duan Tianya's words!

"I don't.

" "Fine! If you don't have it, then you must try to have it. Once you've finished your studies and achieved success, who can predict the future? If she truly loves you, there's nothing that can be done.

" "I will seriously consider your suggestion.

" "Okay!" Duan Tianya nodded and turned to leave.

"What are you to her?

" "Relatives!

" Duan Tianya answered without turning his head.

The boy was a little confused. Lovers? Relatives?

But he thought he heard "relatives."

He was very happy. He

opened the car door and sped away.

Duan Tianya shook his head helplessly. Having a beautiful younger sister really brought a lot of trouble.

Duan Tianya went straight to the library, wanting to find some materials on "On War."

The library was crowded. The librarian smiled at him from afar when he saw him.

Duan Tianya was a little confused.

Taking the materials, Duan Tianya asked, "What's wrong? Why are you smiling at me?

" The old man still had that same smile. "You're a celebrity now! Everyone at Peking University knows you!

" Duan Tianya was a little puzzled.

That speech, then being arrested by the police—the whole school was talking about you, to be precise, all of Beijing was paying attention to you, all of China was paying attention to you. They all thought the knife-throwing man who killed 12 special police officers was dead at your hands. Newspapers were

full of news about you. "Young man, you're really good! You actually led the Chinese team back to the World Cup finals! You're a true genius!"

Duan Tianya smiled faintly. "Many things happen unintentionally. I just did it for fun and on a whim. We Chinese are so boring.

" The old man laughed too.

"This is a boring era, an era without faith, an era lacking heroes.

So of course everyone is excited about a hero, whether it's the media or the public.

" Duan Tianya chimed in, "Heroes are ominous things. Where heroes are needed, war often follows.

The hero's profession is to create war and end war.

" "That makes sense.

" Duan Tianya found chatting with the old man very interesting.

The old man pulled out a yellowed old book from the cabinet.

"This is *The Art of War*. You can study it when you have time. Although times change, many strategic principles will never change. You can apply the past to the present. To be a strategist, you must study wars, examples, and tactics from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign. To make a great contribution to military strategy, learning is indispensable."

"You must dedicate most of your time to studying war, and ultimately master it. Only then can you achieve great things.

" "Okay," Duan Tianya said, taking the book. "I will study it carefully, and I will ask you for guidance on anything I don't understand.

" "Okay, I will answer anything you know. Remember, there is a sequence to learning, and each profession has its own specialization. Learning from others can lead to imperial power, making friends can help you rule the world, while treating others as slaves will lead to the downfall of a nation and the loss of your livelihood.

" "Okay, thank you, teacher, I have learned a lot.

" Duan Tianya found a corner to diligently study the materials commenting on *On War* and research *The Art of War*. The materials on *On War* showed that this world's foremost military treatise had been studied extensively by many foreign military strategists, including warmongers like Hitler and Churchill, Roosevelt (who served four terms as US president), Mao Zedong, and Chiang Kai-shek, all of whom had studied it carefully and applied it to specific battles.

Like a peerless sword, capable of slicing through hair with a single blow, its power is awe-inspiring and terrifying. "On War" possesses this effect; a single sword can kill a hundred, a thousand, but rarely ten thousand. Yet, the two World Wars, guided by "On War," killed approximately one hundred million people, demonstrating its formidable power.

However, even a fine sword produces different results in different hands.

Hitler used "On War" effectively, conquering Czechoslovakia, sweeping through France, and pointing his sword at Britain, breaking through 500 kilometers of Soviet territory within days. Ultimately, he was defeated by Roosevelt and Churchill, who also employed "On War." Chiang Kai-shek, who kept "On War" by his bedside, was driven to Taiwan by Mao Zedong, who held a special symposium on "On War" in Yan'an, and died in bitterness.

This illustrates that the same weapon, wielded by people with different talents, will produce vastly different results.

Duan Tianya found the reading increasingly captivating. Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

As Duan Tianya emerged from the library, he stretched and rubbed his reddened eyes.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the girl he had kissed on the stairs hurrying out of the library as well.

She was carrying a bundle of books, dressed in white, her black hair styled in a bun, her eyebrows exquisitely drawn, her face aloof and cold, as if the world held no sway over her.

She walked past Duan Tianya without even glancing at him.

Duan Tianya was puzzled; this girl seemed so familiar, he was sure he'd seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

Not far away, an elegant man opened the door of a black Rolls-Royce, and the girl got in.

Duan Tianya, as if possessed, followed her.
