CHAPTER 891: CHAPTER 212: YOU REALLY OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL

"That’s indeed the case."

Lin Fan looked at the boy, this is exactly the BUG trapping Officer Huang.

Officer Huang would never do anything against the regulations; the legal provisions are explicit.

Under fourteen years old, no matter what kind of harm to society is done, they bear no criminal responsibility; this is the age of complete exemption from criminal liability.

Even if it’s murder, arson, robbery, XX is the same.

Even if they’re over fourteen but not yet eighteen, the punishment is either lenient or reduced.

The law gives them a chance to start anew, but who gives the victim a chance to start anew; this isn’t a fair thing.

The era has changed, the simple and ignorant days are long gone.

With the progress of the times, information flows like a torrent, filling every corner.

Internet, phones, videos, advertisements, etc....

They’re everywhere.

The mindset of children now has undergone a revolutionary change compared to those from the past, their psychological age is much more mature.

Perhaps children of the same age in the past didn’t know the differences between boys and girls.

But nowadays, they might have already watched countless times from various chat groups on their phones.

Some even have real-life experience, which even some adults can’t match up to and have to admit defeat.

The boy in front of him was only twelve years old, his height already reaching over 1.6 meters, even taller than some adults.

"Hehe."

Officer Huang growled low towards Lin Fan, then turned around and left, heading into the distance; obviously, he left this tricky situation to Lin Fan.

"Leaving just like that."

Lin Fan watched Officer Huang’s departing figure gradually disappear into the horizon, sighed with some helplessness, then looked at the boy who seemed so innocent.

This was someone really good at hiding his true nature.

"Why did you do those things?" Lin Fan slowly asked.

The boy looked innocently and said, "I didn’t, I didn’t do anything, I’m only twelve, I’m really scared."

Feng Jing said, "Stop pretending, you should know who I am, your actions can deceive others, but not me."

The boy looked at Feng Jing and the others by her side, indeed very familiar, they all used to live in the shelter.

Recalling the recent situation.

It was really terrifying.

That guy wearing the War Armor, just like a demon emerging from the abyss, impervious to knives and bullets, blew the brains out of the armed guys.

Everyone had their brains blown out by the other side.

But he and a few lucky ones weren’t killed, he felt there must be something special about him, which was why he was spared.

"I didn’t..."

The ones who knew his situation were Feng Jing and the others, but more importantly, he was a twelve-year-old child, holding a certain advantage in age; as long as he insisted that he wasn’t like that, nothing should happen.

Lin Fan pondered how to deal with this boy.

Shoot him dead on the spot?

He couldn’t do such a thing, it wasn’t in his nature.

Leave him here, let him fend for himself, he just needed to take others away?

This was also a way.

But there was still a problem, if this boy encountered survivors whom he deceived, leading to their harm, he would also bear unshakable responsibility.

"Maybe lock him in prison until he can bear criminal responsibility, then let Officer Huang see him, by then all issues would be resolved."

Lin Fan understood, this was the best outcome.

He looked at the boy.

"Age isn’t the reason for your wrongdoing, your disguise is ineffective in front of me, rest assured, I won’t kill you, and if you plan to go to Huang City, that’s fine, but Sunshine Shelter isn’t the place for you, you’re going somewhere else."

Lin Fan wouldn’t give him a chance just because he’s a twelve-year-old boy.

Feng Jing made it very clear to him.

She always kept it in mind.

Never underestimate anyone who already has independent thoughts and is living in the end times.

They might be good people.

Or they might be demons.

Even demons skilled at hiding.

They often harm you fatally when you’re careless.

"Brother Lin..." Feng Jing wanted to say something.

Lin Fan waved his hand, smiling, "It’s okay, I understand, Officer Huang left him to me, it’s his trust in me, he knows how I should deal with it."

Feng Jing looked at Lin Fan, alright then, she chose to trust Lin Fan.

...

Huang City Sunshine Shelter.

Lin Fan brought them here, when Feng Jing and the others got off the vehicle, they were dazed, looking at the walking watch, wide-eyed, as if they were in a dream.

They used to think it was impossible to get here so quickly, now they fully understood.

"This is the Sunshine Shelter, from now on you’ll live here, this is Guan Hao, he will register your information, once you’re here, just consider this your home, don’t bear any psychological burden, none of the things you fear are here."

Lin Fan smiled.

He believes the hope of life can envelope them, letting them see a beautiful future.

Doing such things is truly a joyful thing.

It often seems repetitive.

But when seeing the joy of rebirth on the faces of survivors who arrive here, he feels equally excited; this is what has supported him and kept him going all along.

"Thank you, really, thank you so much." Feng Jing and the others expressed their gratitude, seeing the situation here, they felt as if they were dreaming, with an indescribable excitement.
