“...”faced with Lina’s request, Jiang Fei was at a loss for words. When faced with death, human nature was revealed. The previously arrogant sheriff, when faced with death.., he was so decadent. However, his daughter, Lina, although she was a woman, she was so strong. This made Jiang Fei have to look at her in a new light.
“I can’t guarantee that either. However, I will help you fight for it. If possible, I will try to fight for an ending like life imprisonment for you,”Jiang Fei said.
“Thank you for your kindness. I would rather die than spend my life in prison,”Lina said.
“Sigh! Why are you doing this?”Jiang Fei sighed.
“Alright, I’m a little tired. I want to go back.”Lina turned around. She was also afraid of death, but she did not want outsiders to see her cowardly appearance.
“Alright!”Jiang Fei nodded. Then, a prison guard brought Lina away.
After coming out of the prison, Jiang Fei drove straight to the magistrate’s country villa. Soon, he met the magistrate.
“Sir!”Jiang Fei greeted him formally.
“Have you gone to see them?”The magistrate asked with a smile. It was obvious that Jiang Fei’s every move was under the magistrate’s control. This time, the magistrate and Lina were the main judges. It was clearly a test for Jiang Fei.

“What was the result?”The magistrate asked.
“The magistrate does not deserve to sit in his seat. Sir, you have made a mistake,”Jiang Fei said.
“Oh?”The magistrate did not expect Jiang Fei to say such a thing. His interest was piqued. So, he asked, “Since you think that I have made a mistake, what is your evaluation of him?”
“To do great things, one should cherish one’s life. To see small benefits, one should forget one’s life,”Jiang Fei said.
“Interesting. Why do you say that?”The magistrate laughed.
“Actually, I already have this opinion about the magistrate. This is also an important reason why I chose you in the end.”Jiang Fei paused for a moment, then, he continued, “I’m not afraid to overthink it, sir. When I made the decision back then, I was purely weighing the pros and cons. I wanted to follow the person who had the highest chance of winning, not to die with the loser.” i????????????????????????. ????????????
“So, you think highly of me?”The consul laughed.
“That’s right. If I had continued to stay on the side of the consul and killed you, the outcome would not have been as simple as the consul had imagined. He would not have become the controller of the gamma space just because of your death. On the contrary, Colonel Kono might have become the person who would have the last laugh,”Jiang Fei said.
“Why do you say that?”The consul asked.
“It’s because of my previous comment. The consul is a man who cherishes his life for the sake of big things and forgets his life for the sake of small benefits,”Jiang Fei said.
“What do you mean?”The consul seemed to be even more interested.
“Although I have not been with the consul for long, I can tell from his decision-making that he is a coward. Moreover, he is short-sighted. He is obsessed with the interests in front of him. Therefore, he is not enough to achieve anything. Therefore, I am certain that even if I kill you, he is not a match for Colonel Kono who wants to avenge you,”Jiang Fei said.
“You haven’t told me yet. How did you come to this conclusion?”asked the consul.
“The reason I gave him this conclusion was mainly because of his decisions.”Jiang Fei paused for a moment, then, he continued, “The first time was when we were fighting in the streets of the city. At that time, although you had the advantage in terms of military strength and more mechs, the military and police were clearly a little timid during the battle. It was very obvious that they were afraid of hurting the rats. Although I do not know what they were afraid of hurting, I can foresee that as long as we hold on there, you will eventually choose to give in. After that, we can negotiate or think of other ways. However, it is still better than being driven out of the city. The soldiers would not even be able to eat.”
“What else?”The magistrate nodded. At that time, he did have some taboos. If the clone army of the magistrate chose to defend, he would not dare to attack them all.
“Also, when we were stationed in the suburbs, the magistrate and his trusted aides were well-fed. However, they let their soldiers eat the food of livestock. Even so, the soldiers could not eat their fill. When the army was defeated, the magistrate could only rely on these soldiers. If he had any brains, even if it was just for show, he would have to share the joys and sorrows of the soldiers. However, he enjoyed it alone and did not care about the suffering of the soldiers,”Jiang Fei continued.
“Is there anything else?”The magistrate asked.
“Yes!”Jiang Fei nodded, then, he continued, “In the last decision, when the magistrate’s soldiers were all hungry, he did not choose to attack the granary nearby. Instead, he chose to travel a long distance to attack the distant d 5 industrial area. To be able to make such an unwise decision, his talent is not much better.”
“This magistrate has already been described as useless by you. Doesn’t he have any good qualities?”The magistrate asked.
“Yes.”Jiang Fei’s answer surprised the magistrate.
“What are his qualities?”The magistrate asked.
“He gave birth to a good daughter,”Jiang Fei said.
“What do you mean?”The magistrate asked.

“It seems that you admire her,”said the magistrate.
“I guess so.”Jiang Fei did not deny it.
“Then, what is the purpose of your visit to me this time?”asked the magistrate.
“I am here to plead with you,”said Jiang Fei.
“On behalf of the magistrate or his daughter?”asked the magistrate with a smile.
“The magistrate must die. I will not do such a useless thing,”said Jiang Fei.
“So, you are here to plead on behalf of his daughter?”asked the magistrate.
“Yes!”Jiang Fei readily admitted.
“Then, how do you think I should deal with her?”The magistrate continued to ask.
“Let her go,”said Jiang Fei.
“Let her go just like that? No punishment at all?”The magistrate was stunned. In his opinion, Ralph really did not play by the rules.
“To Lina, there is not much difference between you killing her and not killing her. She is different from the sheriff. The sheriff is the main culprit. Not killing her is not enough to deter evil officials. Moreover, if you do not kill the sheriff, the people will not be able to answer to you. “However, Lina is different. Whether she lives or dies is not that important. Moreover, she does not pose a threat to you even if she is alive. It can even be said that if you forgive her sins, you can show your mercy,”said Jiang Fei.
“Ralph, I only thought that you were a genius in the field of administration. I did not expect you to be so good at lobbying,”the consul said with a smile.
