"Yes, I know that in theory I should continue to investigate, at least this is the 'right thing', but I also know how much resistance I will encounter and how many risks I will suffer when I continue to investigate. Sometimes it is really difficult to do my duty, and my efforts may be meaningless, but I really want to investigate, and the truth should be known to the world. After all, isn't this what we have always pursued?"

Helena's tone was full of uncertainty and hesitation. Looking at Helena's distressed look, Chu Ge suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think this is funny?" Helena asked angrily.

"Actually, there is no need to be so entangled. The key to things is not what is the 'right thing' or what is the 'wrong thing'. Many times, right and wrong are just different angles.

Americans think eating dog meat is immoral because dogs are people's pets, but there is no psychological barrier to eating beef, while Indians think eating beef is immoral because cows are their gods. Can you say that Indians are wrong? Or are Americans wrong?

From each other's perspective, both Americans and Indians did something wrong, but from their own perspective, neither side did anything wrong.

Helena shook her head, "I know what you want to say, but now it is not a debate about what to eat, but a living life, human life. I have been told since I was a child that life is priceless. Now several lives are sacrificed for the ulterior motives of some great people. Am I doing nothing?"

Chu Gexin said it was really exciting news, but why didn’t he be surprised at all? Well, it must be because there were too many such scenes in Hollywood movies in the past.

Although he knew that according to the general routine, he should support Helena's investigation so that he could show that he was a 'good person', he still shook his head: "From the perspective of human individuals, the value of life is priceless, but from the perspective of humans in general, the value of life is not much higher.

Did you know that when building skyscrapers in the past, on average, one worker died for every floor of building? Only five workers died when building the Empire State Building, which was considered a miracle. So isn’t the lives of these dead workers quantified?”

Why do you still have to build these skyscrapers even though you know that people will die? Is it wrong to build these skyscrapers? Of course not, building these skyscrapers feeds the construction workers.

The key is not the value of life, but the purpose. The purpose is the root of everything. The purpose of the capitalist building these buildings is to make profits. As long as the pension of the dead workers does not exceed his ability to bear, he will continue to do it without hesitation. The purpose of the workers participating in the construction is to support themselves and live better. Even if the risk of life is paid for a lifetime, it is worth it. As long as the dangers paid do not exceed the wages received.

Rulers will start wars for interests, rebels will start wars for political demands, arms chambers will start wars to make money to support others, and soldiers will participate in wars for various reasons.

In the eyes of many people, the right and wrong of human life and morality are just two weights on the scale to achieve their own goals. They are no different from other weights, and sometimes they are lighter.

So the question is, what is your purpose? What is the most important thing for you? Personal honor? The promotion of justice? Your own safety? Or some kind of demand deep in your heart?

Everything can be quantified from a certain perspective. If the risk exceeds the return, then give up. If your desire to achieve your goal exceeds your concerns about the risk, then stick to it, it's that simple."

After Chu Ge said that, Helena looked shocked, with a hint of surprise and admiration.

"I didn't expect you to be a philosopher."

Chu Gexin said that my connotation was very deep, but he shook his head on his face, "It's not a philosopher, it's just a little more understandable than some people. So Helena, why did you choose to be an FBI?"

Helena showed a look of memories on her face, "I really want to say that I was for justice or some other noble things, but that's not the case. When I was very young, I once went to see a movie. I can't remember the name of the movie, but the plot is still vivid in my mind.

The story is about a female FBI agent who discovered a consortium's big conspiracy and eventually sent these corrupt scumbags to prison. I like that female agent, not because her behavior was just, but in that movie, she was really cool, beautiful, strong, smart, an absolute winner, defeated those powerful and seemingly invincible enemies, and gained a perfect love. Everything was so perfect. When the movie ended, the heroine and the male protagonist hugged and kissed each other outside the headquarters where the evil consortium was blown into ruins. I was still impressed by that scene, and this has always been something I dreamed of. I dreamed that one day I would stand on that burning ruin. I think it was because of this reason that I finally became a FBI."

Chu Ge couldn't help laughing after hearing this. There are not too many Hollywood movies with such routines.

"So why did you think it was good at that time? Why did you think this story is so attractive to you?"

Helena looked at Chu Ge in surprise and asked back, "Why?"

"Because it is unreal, this kind of thing is difficult to happen in reality. The female FBI agent who is not afraid of power is more likely to be demoted, framed and imprisoned, assassinated, and sent to a mental hospital. The hero and other protagonists are even more unlikely. Men always have a good impression of beauty, but they have to fight for a woman who has known each other for a few days. Believe me, such a person does not exist, at least I have never seen it.

The reason why you think that story is beautiful and exciting is that things have never happened in reality, and the reason such things have never happened in reality is that reality is reality, not a movie. A small accident can make the male and female protagonist die. If you want to achieve your goal, you need the protagonist halo. Do you think you have the legendary protagonist halo? So what I want to say is, forget it, there is no need to lose your life for these things. The chances of your investigation and becoming the heroine are absolutely slim. It is more likely that you will disappear inexplicably, making your family cry for you, and in the end nothing has changed. If you really want to be the heroine in that movie, you might as well be an actor. It is not impossible for you to be so beautiful."

Helena looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, but Chu Ge looked indifferent, because this was indeed what he was thinking.

He still has some good feelings for Helena. Although he really wants to sleep with girls, he would rather tell the truth about life and death.

"Hey, don't look at me with that look. I said that because we are friends. Of course, I hope that the more good people there are in this world, the better, but the problem is that if the risk of being a good person is very high, then I will never want people I know to do this."

Helena smiled bitterly, "I really want to say you are a bastard, but you are right. Reality is not a movie after all, I am not the heroine in the movie, and you are not the male protagonist who is willing to die for me. You are just a handsome detective, and you just happened to tell the truth to me."

"What, hurt your relationship?"

"No," Helena shook her head and muttered to herself: "You made me realize the reality. Forget it, let's have a better meal, I'm already hungry."
