1191 Becoming a Hero
Of course, Zhai Hua was long aware that Peng Yu and Qiao Nan simply did not know each other. Qiao Nan could not be the spy sent by Peng Yu to make fun of them.
“Yes, I don’t know how the Peng family teaches him.” Elder Lin sighed.
Peng Yu looked fairer, more crisp-looking and obedient than Zhai Sheng. As a normal elderly person, Elder Lin favored Peng Yu, who had an obedient image, more at first sight.
Fortunately, Peng Yu firmly believed the logic that ‘all academics were useless’. Clearly, he knew who Elder Lin was but he refused to buy it. He refused to look up to Elder Lin and the latter’s capability.
Instead of working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Peng Yu had ambitions that were totally in contrast with his looks. He wanted to be a general and wished to kill.
It was a sin to kill an individual but a hero to kill millions.
Peng Yu was very clear about his ambitions since he was a child. He wanted to be a hero that could slaughter millions of people.
Between so many careers, only policemen and soldiers could come into contact with guns, and only soldiers could take the enemies’ lives in various situations.
From Peng Yu’s perspective and position, he knew that his hands could not be smeared with the blood of ordinary people if he wanted to fulfill his wish.
He did not need to use real knives and guns. Sometimes, it was more formidable and blood would be shed faster if he were to kill silently without using any hard weapons.
In Peng Yu’s lifetime, he had met a teacher who liked psychological research very much. He once assessed Peng Yu and said that if it were in ancient times, he was most unsuited for one profession: executioner.
The homicide Peng Yu wanted to commit was not one without any difficulty.
The dark side in his heart made him a ready strategist.
In short, there was a problem with this person’s mind. He was sick and abnormal.
The problem was that the Peng family and Peng Yu were not bothered about this. Even if they were aware that Peng Yu was a dangerous individual, no one in the world had the right to do anything to him before he did anything harmful to the country and the people’s interests. No one could prevent Peng Yu from having the chance to act according to his wishes and do those evil matters.
Others were not aware of Peng Yu’s situation but not Zhai Sheng.
It was not because of other reasons. It was because the teacher who gave Peng Yu such an assessment was also Zhai Sheng’s teacher.
In contrast with Peng Yu, who did not keep in contact with his former teachers once he graduated, Zhai Sheng would occasionally return to the school. Naturally, he seemed more human than Peng Yu.
The teachers were more willing to chat about the gossip between some students after the students had graduated.
When he saw Elder Lin sigh, Zhai Sheng inevitably recalled what his teacher said to him before.
Peng Yu was the type of person who would not turn back and look at you again once you have lost your value. As such, although Lin Yuankang liked Peng Yu, this ‘obedient child’, initially, after a while, Elder Lin no longer spent too much effort on Peng Yu. He had gradually realized that Peng Yu’s heart was the complete opposite of his cheerful and gentle exterior.
Elder Lin was also very arrogant. It was seldom that he thought highly of a junior, yet this junior did not look up to him.
Elder Lin was not hard for it. Facing Peng Yu, this kind of child who would drive someone to the grave, no matter how good-tempered Elder Lin was, he was not willing to be nice to Peng Yu. He chose to distance himself from Peng Yu as much as possible.
“I’ve not seen him for five years. This child has become more astray than before. I am thinking. He is so young, yet his heart is already so deformed. Most likely, the Peng family did not know how to teach their children.” Elder Lin exclaimed regretfully.
If Peng Yu was not so evil and malicious, he would be the most intelligent child amongst those that he had met before.
He had been led astray by the Peng family. This was a sheer pity.
Miao Jing rubbed her forehead. “What’s there to be pitiful about? Why do I feel scared after knowing that someone like that exists in the world?” That child was younger than Zhai Sheng by a couple of years, yet he was so scheming and malicious. He was too annoying.
In Miao Jing’s lifetime, the worst person that she had met was Qi Minlan.
However, upon hearing what Peng Yu did to her son, Miao Jing realized that besides being a little too arrogant when she was young and acting pitiful in front of Zhai Yaohui, Qi Minlan was considered nothing in comparison to Peng Yu. She did not have anything to show off at all.
If Qi Minlan was not the one who competed with her for Zhai Yaohui in the past, Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua, these two children, would not exist in this world. She was afraid that she would no longer exist in this world too.
In such a peaceful and lawful era, someone was thinking only about killing, killing, and killing. Miao Jing could not understand.
Wasn’t it good to lead a peaceful life?
Didn’t one feel terrible to kill people?
Having such thoughts in his mind, was Peng Yu’s brain leaking?
“There are all kinds of fish in the sea. He is annoying to you but likable to many mothers.” This was the thing that Zhai Sheng felt most helpless about. If everyone had upright worldly views and values, Zhai Sheng would not have encountered such a troublesome matter this time. “Zhai Sheng, why don’t I return to the army?”
Her status and position were not higher than that of Zhai Sheng, and she could not win against Peng Yu either.
Nevertheless, if she was in the army, she could not only act as a decoy but also become a substitute for Zhai Sheng if anything were to happen.
With her help, it would be much better than Zhai Sheng fighting a lone battle.
“There’s no need to.” He took a glance at the diapers in Zhai Hua’s hands. “Peng Yu Yu is certainly a little crafty but everyone has weaknesses and shortcomings. I have been too lax with him because he left Ping Cheng for so long.”
The difference was that Peng Yu had returned to the capital earlier than him by five years. It seemed that Peng Yu had never let his guard down.
This was their first exchange and Peng Yu behaved as if he understood him exceptionally well.
No one would understand oneself better than his enemy.
This saying proved that Peng Yu had been taking him as an enemy. He had been paying attention to his every action without a moment of rest. This was despite Peng Yu being in the capital for the past five years and him in Ping Cheng all this while.
“It was an accident. Moreover, I have encountered some trouble this time. Fortunately, I have resolved it very quickly. No major problems came out of it. Did you think that Peng Yu did not suffer any loss?”
Zhai Sheng had never taken Peng Yu as his opponent. It was not because he did not know Peng Yu’s capability. He just felt that it was unnecessary.
Of course, Peng Yu dared to take action on him this time. After Zhai Sheng resolved the problem, he even retaliated and made Peng Yu suffer miserable losses. He had wanted to ambush Zhai Sheng and get away from it. It was really wishful thinking on Peng Yu’s part.
The corners of Elder Lin’s mouth curled up. “You have done quite well. Otherwise, I would need to have a talk with your family’s old master and your father. There are two children in the Zhai family and you’re the only man. What have they been doing if they did not nurture you wholeheartedly?” They could not even bring up a child well. Could he still rely on the Zhai family to raise the three little grand disciples of his?”
