Chapter 706: Chapter 705: Energy is Infinite

“Jiang Li, it’s time to clock off, let’s go out for dinner. This is a good opportunity to toast to the leaders.”

The one inviting Jiang Li is his university classmate, Xiang Liang, who directly joined the workforce after graduation and has met with success.

Jiang Li’s qualification is considerably high, and he quickly surpassed Xiang Liang in terms of both position and level after he started his career.

Jiang Li detached his gaze from the case files, responding, “No, I’ve just received some new evidence materials. I need to carefully review them tonight as this case concerns the interests of the parties involved, there’s no room for any laxity.”

“I haven’t finished reading this month’s law journal yet.”

“Toasting the leaders could possibly lead to promotion and a raise.” Xiang Liang continued to persuade Jiang Li, as Jiang Li’s promotion will leave his position open for him.

Jiang Li asked perplexedly, “Is promotion or a raise not based on performance, but on alcohol tolerance?”

Seeing Jiang Li’s reaction, Xiang Liang had no choice but to attend the dinner himself.

…

“Jiang Li, the higher-ups have spoken. This case involves someone with a special relationship; take care of it.” Xiang Liang winked and signaled at Jiang Li. A good performance in this case might leave a good impression on the higher-ups, and promotion would be just around the corner.

“Sure, let the higher-ups amend the law while they’re at it.” Jiang Li joked, “I will handle it in accordance with what the law stipulates.”

Xiang Liang immediately fell silent.

Jiang Li then said, “Xiang Liang, you haven’t accepted any benefits from them, have you?”

Concerned whether Jiang Li might be recording him, Xiang Liang vigorously shook his head. “How could I?”

“Good, don’t forget that the law seeks fairness and justice, not promotion and raises.” Jiang Li kindly reminded.

He had been working for several years, the more he experienced, the more he realized that theory is one thing, but practice seems to show little regard for it.

Jiang Li looked at Xiang Liang, reminiscing about the times when they attended classes together, making every effort to study the law. Back then, Xiang Liang was always keen on being a legal worker who maintained fairness and justice.

After ten years of not seeing each other, Xiang Liang had undergone tremendous changes. The Xiang Liang who once dreamt big with him was no longer there.

Xiang Liang looked at Jiang Li with a complex look. He had been working for ten years and had seen many young people enter society with passion and idealism. However, those people quickly admitted defeat to reality and became people like himself.

Only Jiang Li remained unchanged, stubborn like a kid fresh out of school, not at all fearful of the cruel lessons of society.

It was truly enviable.

He couldn’t do it. He had a wife and children, and a mortgage to pay, he wanted to make his life better.

He couldn’t measure up to Jiang Li.

…

After a few more years, Jiang Li began to interfere with many interests and crossed paths with many people.

He was framed and taken to court.

The evidence provided by the other party was solid, capable of proving Jiang Li’s guilt.

Despite Jiang Li being innocent all along.

The professor agreed to be Jiang Li’s defense lawyer. He arrived at the detention center and saw Jiang Li in prisoner’s clothing, he looked serious.

He never expected that after all these years, Jiang Li’s character still hadn’t changed and his principles hadn’t wavered an inch.

“Jiang Li, you’re stronger than me. I used to be like you, wanting to establish justice in society when I started out. But I quickly realized that I was defeated by reality and ran back to school to focus on theoretical research.”

Jiang Li responded expressionlessly, “Professor, I am right.”

Seeing the usually cheerful Jiang Li in his current state, the professor couldn’t bear it.

How might all this affect Jiang Li?

No matter, today was a good time to clear things up and let Jiang Li see the reality.

The professor sighed, “I know you’re right, but this society doesn’t see right or wrong; you and society are incompatible.”

“Do you think the law is always pursuing fairness and justice?”

“Why?”

“Because it never reaches it. After all these years, I’ve come to understand that fairness and justice can’t ever be achieved. I wrote a paper about it but never dared to publish it or discuss it with anyone. I want to talk to you about it now.”

Jiang Li quietly listened to the professor.

“Humans are profit-seeking creatures, but benefits are limited, while human desires are infinite.”

“You also know that energy is conserved, and so are benefits.”

“Humans are a bottomless pit, bounded benefits can never fill it.”

“As long as the human heart is not content, there will never be a day of fairness and justice.”

Jiang Li contemplated, “If energy is infinite and benefits are infinite, can fairness and justice be achieved?”

Seeing the change in Jiang Li’s expression, the professor decided not to discuss further on this topic. Instead, he said, “Don’t worry, although the other party’s evidence is solid, we are also prepared here, we can definitely save you.”

Jiang Li fell into deep thought, continually mumbling words like “energy”, “conservation”, and “non-conservation”.

…

In court, the professor surprisingly proved that Jiang Li had a mental illness and was having an episode during the crime.

The judge knew this must be the professor utilizing some connections, but he had no evidence.

According to the rules, mental illness is not considered a crime.

The judge hit the gavel, “Jiang Li, not guilty, but treatment in a mental hospital is required.”

…

The professor came to the mental hospital, intending to rescue Jiang Li, but the words from the chief doctor left him greatly shocked.

“This patient does indeed have a mental disorder.”

The professor looked at Jiang Li chatting and laughing with the nurses, his usual smile restored.

He asked angrily, “How could he be ill!”

The chief doctor explained helplessly, “He seems just like a normal person. He also believes that he is not ill, but only when he does not discuss issues related to energy.”

“Energy issue?”

“He believes that energy is infinite.”

“So what? Who talks about whether energy is conserved or not in their leisure time?” The professor gradually realized something was off, this wasn’t what they had agreed upon before.

The chief doctor received orders from above and insisted on not releasing him. Even the professor’s connections weren’t of any use here.

The professor tried everything, but was unable to take Jiang Li out. In the end, he had no choice but to give up on this plan and decided to visit Jiang Li regularly.

Jiang Li’s position was vacant, and Xiang Liang took over Jiang Li’s work.

The old dean brought the children to visit Jiang Li. Seeing Jiang Li in the mental hospital, he deeply regretted letting him study law.

The old dean cried, “If only you hadn’t chosen law studies.”

Jiang Li put down the Xianxia novel he was reading, smiled, and shook his head, “I am grateful that I chose law studies.”

Jiang Li liked to read Xianxia novels in his spare time.

And now, he had a lot of spare time.

The higher-ups felt that Jiang Li knew too much and that he was always a threat, so they resorted to a plan to kill Jiang Li.

Jiang Li’s expression faded, and he gradually lost consciousness.

His lips trembled, muttering, “It’s such a pity, I haven’t been able to realize my dream in the end.”

The will of all sentient beings in the land found Jiang Li’s soul, guiding him to the land and asked him to become the Human Emperor, to fight against the Heavenly Demon from outside, and save the land.

Later, Du Ye started an arms race that led to World War.

The blue planet was covered in artillery fire day after day.
