He didn’t speak up for Mo Yan, not because he didn’t want to, but because his mind was in the same place as everyone else’s—the fear of bringing trouble upon himself.
But clearly, the young man wanted to resign, and these people had at least something to do with it. But had the foolish boy ever considered that this is just how society is, everyone keeping themselves safe—what was wrong with that?
It was certainly better than being stabbed in the back by someone close to you when something goes wrong, wasn’t it?!
"Everything has been resolved, and with Officer Wang stepping in, no one will suspect you of anything anymore." Seeing Mo Yan come out of the Huimin Public Bathhouse, Kang Li revealed a slight smile. When he stopped a few steps away from her, she spoke gently and deliberately.
However, Mo Yan didn’t respond and his spirits were not high.
Kang Li: "But your mood is still very low. Tell me, what’s on your mind?"
His lips moved slightly, and Mo Yan said, "Sister Kang Li, I... I don’t want to work at the Huimin Bathhouse anymore."
Kang Li: "Why is that?"
Mo Yan: "I don’t want to lie to you. I... feel disheartened. When that customer falsely accused me, none of them... none of them stood up to speak for me. Sister Kang Li, I’ve been working with them for nearly half a month, seeing they are older than me, I respected them all, but they..."
Wang Xiaobo hadn’t left yet; he and Feng Yi were standing together. Hearing what Mo Yan said to Kang Li, he came over: "Young man, you just haven’t seen much of the world yet! You have to think like this: if you spend your whole life worrying about others’ looks and talk, wouldn’t that be a tasteless and exceedingly tiring way to live? We should live a life we’re proud of, without guilt towards the heavens, the earth, other people, or our own conscience!"
"...How many people can truly ignore the odd looks and various criticisms from others?" Mo Yan’s mood was still downcast, but looking at him, Kang Li said, "I have always believed that if you are upright, you need not worry about your shadow. How others see me, how they talk about me, I don’t care because I know I live with a clear conscience—I haven’t wronged anyone, and that’s enough."
