Chapter 321: To Retreat is to Advance

“Let’s hand her to the court and have the law judge her,” Yun Xiangxiang answered thoughtfully . “How will she be punished for committing the crimes of kidnapping and human trafficking?”

Song Mian gazed at Yun Xiangxiang quietly for a while . “If you want to, I can have her stay there for life . ”

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head . “Don’t let her escape what should be her punishment, but don’t punish her for what she didn’t do . ”

She wasn’t someone who would do anything to destroy the people she hated, nor would she break her principles for someone unworthy .

Abiding by the law was her principle as a human; even when she almost blacked out from starvation in her past life, she had never stolen a single rice grain .

If she couldn’t survive without breaking her code, then that meant she was useless . She wouldn’t blame anyone for that .

Once someone broke their code once, there would be a second time and a third time… Eventually, there would be no end to it .

“Alright, I’ll talk with Eric about your choice . I won’t have the Cardicra Family lessen her punishment . ” Song Mian sighed .

Yun Xiangxiang asked softly when she heard his sigh, “Do you think I’m too kind?”

“No, you think things too thoroughly; you’re too smart…” Song Mian felt sad for her .

Yun Xiangxiang smiled and changed to a more comfortable position to lay in his embrace . “As long as you understand me . ”

She didn’t suffer any real harm, so she could remain calm and make the best judgment .

A family like Cardicra was no longer just an enormous business empire . It contributed a significant chunk of production and development for the nation .

Would France allow it to die just like this? The answer was a resounding no, so Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to make this personal grudge into a national one .

Eric was a sensible person . If Yun Xiangxiang was harmed, Eric could tolerate Yun Xiangxiang’s revenge, even if it was severe .

But now that she wasn’t harmed, she didn’t have to make a nemesis out of an existence that couldn’t be destroyed .

If she let Faye taste her own medicine, or if she killed Faye, she would make an enemy out of the Cardicra Family .

From then, she would have to always be on her guard whenever she went to a European country, for fear of the Cardicra’s Family’s revenge .

The cycle of revenge would never end . But since she wasn’t harmed, Yun Xiangxiang wanted to live a free life .

So she didn’t mind being magnanimous, but magnanimity didn’t mean letting her go; it just meant not adding to the punishment Faye should receive .

Yun Xiangxiang did this so that Eric wouldn’t have any grounds to protect Faye or give her any resources and connections to get her out of this .

She finally got rid of a significant threat . After this incident, Yun Xiangxiang understood that only by cutting off Faye’s wings could she regain peace .

Faye wanted to kill her out of impulse . Yun Xiangxiang heard Li Xiangling mention about what happened this time when the latter was revising the law .

International law sentenced human traffickers to at least ten years in jail .

Yun Xiangxiang took a step back here . With the Song Family monitoring them, no matter how much the Cardicra Family wanted Faye to get out earlier, they wouldn’t dare to make a move to do so .

Yun Xiangxiang seemed generous, but she took two steps forward by taking one step back .

It was almost nine in the evening when she returned to Qi Jun’s winery . Yun Xiangxiang was a little hungry . “I bought a lot of stuff; make dinner for me . ”

The only way to shoo away Song Mian’s hostility was getting him something to do to exhaust him .

“I was wondering why you were taking so long, so you went to fetch your boyfriend?” Song Meng didn’t know what Yun Xiangxiang went through yet . When she saw her coming back with Song Mian, she even teased them .

“Yeah, I’m trying to irritate you . So, feeling annoyed yet?” Yun Xiangxiang breamed .

Song Meng snorted before she turned around and left, leaving Li Xiangling and Yun Xiangxiang alone .

Li Xiangling put down her book . “You wouldn’t have gone shopping if you were picking him up . ”

“I got into a little accident, but I’m fine . ” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t tell Li Xiangling what happened, but she didn’t want to lie either, so she could only make a vague statement .

Li Xiangling looked at her for a while . When she confirmed her friend was fine, she didn’t pry further .

When Yun Xiangxiang came out from the bathroom and changed her clothes, she saw Ai Li and Song Qian sitting there . Yun Xiangxiang went to sit between them, “Nobody’s blaming herself for what happened today . It’s not that we let our guard down; it’s that she had planned this for a while . ”

They couldn’t expect anyone to conspire against her . Besides, Faye wasn’t a stupid; the first two failures were due to her underestimating Yun Xiangxiang .

It wasn’t until Yun Xiangxiang made the voice recording and sought out Eric that Faye realized that Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t just smart; she was scheming .

After they returned, Song Mian had someone keep an eye on Faye to make sure she wouldn’t do anything before they left France .

Yun Xiangxiang wouldn’t be this relaxed otherwise . Faye knew Song Mian had his men keep an eye on her, and she managed to make them show themselves without the men knowing .

She even managed to trick the men and found out Yun Xiangxiang’s number . That was terrifying .

He Wei knocked on the door, and Yun Xiangxiang invited him in . “Okay, okay, let’s talk about the effort Faye put in . I want to see if we let our guard down, or if this plan was too elaborate . ”

Yun Xiangxiang felt a need to make this clear, or else the three of them wouldn’t stop blaming themselves .

She asked He Wei first, “Brother Wei, why did you spend so much time in S . Q?”

He Wei looked at Song Qian and Ai Li . “All of S . Q’s promo pictures of you were slashed into ribbons . They were worried someone might be targeting you, so they called me over . We called the cops and arrested some suspects .

Yun Xiangxiang nodded . He Wei did what he was supposed to do . He had to interrogate these suspects to get rid of the potential danger .

He wouldn’t have thought that this was just a distraction tactic since he knew Ai Li and Song Qian were here .

“Ai Li…” Yun Xiangxiang paused and then changed her target . “Qian…”

“My best friend…” Ai Li spoke before Yun Xiangxiang could skip past her . “She suddenly lost both of her arms . ”

When Ai Li saw her friend, incredulity welled up in her eyes . Someone who used to be so confident became a shadow of her former self . Ai Li desperately wanted to know what happened to her friend and were the others…

“I am to blame . I abandoned my duty during working hours for personal reasons . ” Ai Li felt guilty .

“You are a human, not a robot . If people like you retire from the organization, there’s no way you can contact them anymore, right?” Yun Xiangxiang could understand how Ai Li felt .

If Ai Li could contact her friends, she would know what happened .

If she missed them this time, it would be nigh impossible to see her friends again in this sea of people .

“When I was training, my master did always say that I’m a failure . ” Ai Li was dejected .

Yun Xiangxiang put her hand on Ai Li’s shoulder . “You didn’t go off on your own; I gave you permission to do so . ”
