Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Causes and Consequences

And after going through a series of events just now, Ling Feng had almost completely figured it out.

Ling Feng looked at Ms. Keller and said indifferently, "Ms. Keller, if I’m not mistaken, you must have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and don’t have long to live, right?"

Ms. Keller’s complexion changed slightly, and then she sighed and said, "Yes, how did you figure that out?"

Bai Feifei was also full of curiosity.

Ling Feng suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "If I still couldn’t understand the causes and consequences, I would truly be beyond help!"

Bai Feifei’s expression turned somewhat annoyed, clearly, he was talking about her, but what on earth was going on!

"I’m sorry for this matter..." Ms. Keller said with a hint of guilt.

Ling Feng spoke coldly, "Sorry? Of course, you should be sorry. You’ve let down these diligent police officers, who were fully prepared for your safety, even willing to sacrifice their lives. But what about you? For your own goals, you created a trap. Do you think your behavior is worthy of the admiration that people have for you?"

Bai Feifei was completely confused, "Hey, Ling Feng, what on earth is going on here!"

"Want to know?" Ling Feng said indifferently, "Since you want to know, I’ll tell you my deductions! If there’s anything wrong, I hope Ms. Keller will point it out."

"This matter needs to start with the Freedom Organization," Ling Feng said indifferently, "Due to some connections, the Freedom Organization issued a fifty million US Dollar assassination bounty on Ms. Keller! Soon, that sizable bounty was taken by a mysterious organization, which is the Heaven’s Gate Organization, where Michael is."

"Of course, such events wouldn’t be able to escape Ms. Keller’s notice! As a key figure under the protection of the American military, how could she be oblivious to such news? However, when Ms. Keller received this information, she unexpectedly left America and came to Huaxia. Bai Feifei, don’t you find that suspicious? There were only a few days left in the bounty period, so why would she leave the safety of America to come to the dangerous lands of Huaxia?"

Bai Feifei was taken aback, "That does seem a bit strange!"

"However, if you add one condition to this seemingly strange situation, it all makes sense," Ling Feng said calmly, "That is, Ms. Keller knew that her time was running short. Since death was inevitable sooner or later, why not use her own death to achieve her purpose? Isn’t that right, Ms. Keller?"

Ms. Keller fell silent, and after a long while, she nodded, "That’s right, I am in the late stages of lung cancer, with at most half a year left."

"But I still don’t quite understand!" Bai Feifei grew increasingly aware of her own slowness, becoming somewhat exasperated.

Ling Feng said indifferently, "The Freedom Organization is one of the world’s three largest terrorist organizations and America’s most troublesome opponent! The very reason Ms. Keller made a high-profile visit to Huaxia is to inform the Freedom Organization of her whereabouts. And should Ms. Keller be attacked and die in Huaxia..." Bai Feifei, can you imagine the consequences of that scenario?"

Bai Feifei was stunned for a moment, then after some thought said, "If Ms. Keller were to die, then the world’s opinion would push Huaxia to the forefront of the storm. Huaxia would undoubtedly face immense pressure, as Ms. Keller’s global influence is indeed vast!"

"That’s right, and there’s another point. Since the assassination order was issued by the Freedom Organization, and should Ms. Keller be killed by an assassin hired by the Freedom Organization, then Huaxia as the host country, bears an inescapable responsibility! In other words, the death of Ms. Keller must be accounted for by the Freedom Organization, and Huaxia will inevitably be caught in a moral outcry, forced to declare war on the Freedom Organization! By then, with the assistance of Huaxia, America could greatly alleviate its own pressure and also deal a heavy blow to the Freedom Organization, even leading to its destruction! After all, the joint forces of Huaxia and America are not something a terrorist organization can withstand!"

"Through warfare, Huaxia’s reputation would be damaged, it would draw the enmity of the Freedom Organization, and it would sacrifice a large number of counter-terrorism warriors! America, on the other hand, would not only greatly relieve domestic anti-war pressure but could also take the opportunity to profit heavily from the war. Furthermore, the turbulence of war could increase the price of coal and oil worldwide... All of this is detrimental to Huaxia but benefits America without any harm!"

"Ms. Keller, where did I speak incorrectly? Please correct me!" Ling Feng said, his voice filled with murderous intent by the end.

Ling Feng actually had one more point he hadn’t mentioned. Should Ms. Keller die, Bai Feifei, who is responsible for security, would inevitably become the scapegoat for some higher-ups. What awaited her then would, at the very least, be resignation due to guilt and forever leaving the police world she loved so much!

Bai Feifei was not foolish; she simply lacked experience in such matters!

However, after hearing Ling Feng’s explanation, she understood that Ms. Keller’s poisoning was entirely a self-directed drama. Its purpose was to drag Huaxia into the waters and strike at the Freedom Organization!

Realizing this, Bai Feifei’s gaze towards Ms. Keller turned even more hostile.

Initially, she admired this peace warrior, but now she felt nothing but disgust for Ms. Keller.

"That’s right, I didn’t expect you to be able to guess the whole affair!" Ms. Keller said softly: "Young man, you’re correct, everything was designed by me. When I heard the Freedom Organization put a bounty on my assassination, I realized that my last chance had arrived!"

"I’ve become indifferent to life and death. Half a year more to live means nothing to me!" Ms. Keller said faintly: "I admit, I had thoughts of using Huaxia, and I concede that this method is somewhat despicable. But as long as it can eliminate terrorist organizations, even if I am pointed at by thousands or nailed to the pillar of shame, what of it?"

Ms. Keller’s body trembled slightly: "You can never imagine what war brings to people if you haven’t experienced it. The Freedom Organization? That terrorist group using the guise of freedom, deceiving masses of good people, committing vile acts in the name of freedom! I have witnessed them defiling innocent women and gunning down pure children! They are not the envoys of freedom; they are the mouthpieces of the Devil!"

As Ms. Keller spoke, her breathing became agitated: "Only by completely exterminating them, can we truly liberate those enslaved by the Devil! I am about to die, and if my death can bring a glimmer of hope to them, I would rather do it! Although what I’m doing is indeed despicable, I’m willing to bear this infamy!"

Bai Feifei’s expression softened involuntarily; although she couldn’t forgive Ms. Keller’s actions, she still felt some admiration for Ms. Keller’s selflessness and sacrifice.

"Speaking as if you’re so righteous!" Ling Feng said coldly: "If a person does not save themselves, who else can save them? All of your actions are merely your own wishful thinking! If humans do not know the joy of fish, how can you understand it? What you consider Hell might be Paradise to others! As for those who willingly accept enslavement, even if their bodies are saved, what of it? Their spirits have long been laid waste!"
