The Divine Eye for Appreciating Treasures: Starting from Escape from Northern Myanmar
Chapter 1226 Hu Jun's Departure
He was wearing a tattered cotton jacket and holding a half-empty wine jug in his hand, which was his only comfort in this desolate place.
His eyes were empty and cold, as if he had long been accustomed to the darkness and injustice in this world.
Occasionally, he would look up at the sky. The deep night sky was dotted with stars, but they could not illuminate the haze in his heart.
Hu Jun took a big gulp of the wine. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, bringing a moment of numbness and relief.
He knew how despicable what he was doing was, but he had no choice.
In this chaotic world, survival is more important than anything else, and he is just a tiny cog in this huge machine, forced to turn and unable to escape.
He recalled his past dreams and pursuits, those beautiful visions of justice, courage and love, but now they seem like the farthest stars in the night sky, out of reach.
He sighed, drank the rest of the wine, and let the cold wind blow across his cheeks, bringing waves of stinging.
He knew that he could not stop or retreat, because once he stopped, an even crueler fate would be waiting for him.
The screams in the temple continued, and each one was like a sharp needle piercing Hu Jun's heart.
Hu Jun's gaze once again penetrated the gap in the half-open temple door and fell on the woman in the temple who was once noble but now struggling helplessly in pain.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a complicated smile, in that smile there was both the joy of success and a bit of subtle distortion and indifference.
In his opinion, the woman's experience seemed to be fate's revenge on her past arrogance and indifference, and he was just an insignificant promoter of this tragedy.
"It's really a changing world." Hu Jun secretly sneered in his heart, recalling the woman's arrogant appearance in the past. Comparing it with her current miserable state of being at the mercy of others, he felt an inexplicable satisfaction and pleasure.
This twisted pleasure was like poison, corroding his conscience, causing him to walk further and further on this desolate land, and his mind gradually became distorted.
He looked up at the sky again. The starry sky was still deep and distant, as if it could swallow up all the sins and pains in the world.
But Hu Jun knew that this was not his destination. There was a broader stage in his life and more "important" things waiting for him to accomplish.
The so-called "justice" and "morality" have long become blurred in his eyes, and only power and interests are his goals.
"It's time to leave." Hu Jun thought to himself. He gently put down the wine jug in his hand and turned his gaze to the distance. There seemed to be a road leading to the unknown, waiting for him to explore.
He no longer lingered in this place full of sin and filth, because he knew that as long as he had desire in his heart, anywhere could become his paradise.
Before leaving, there was no sympathy or compassion in his eyes, only coldness and determination.
In his opinion, the woman had already received the punishment she deserved, and the torture that followed would be a shadow that she would never be able to get rid of for the rest of her life and the ultimate judgment on her past actions.
"Let her regret it for the rest of her life." Hu Jun muttered to himself, as if these words could add a touch of justice to his departure.
However, he knew that his actions were contrary to justice, but he no longer cared.
He took a step forward and resolutely embarked on a new journey, leaving behind only the dilapidated land temple and the bursts of mournful cries coming from the temple, echoing for a long time in the night...
Hu Jun's back gradually disappeared into the darkness, but his story was like a seed that took root and sprouted in this barren land, warning those who came after him: to what extent human nature can degenerate under the temptation of power and the drive of desire.
And the tortured woman became a silent witness of this dark history. Her pain and despair will be forever engraved in the memory of this land.

In the emerging and prosperous city of Akbon, Li Yue stood in the room of a high-end hotel where he was temporarily staying, surrounded by an unprecedented tranquility and anticipation.
Outside the window, the night is as dark as ink, but it cannot hide the bright lights of the city. They are interwoven into a flowing picture scroll of light and shadow. Each light seems to be telling the transformation and vitality of Akbon.
Li Yue was wearing a soft bathrobe, holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee in her hand. The rich aroma mixed with the cool breeze outside the window, bringing her a sense of clarity and comfort.
Walking slowly towards the balcony, every step seemed so calm and unhurried, as if he was enjoying this rare moment of peace.
Standing on the balcony, Li Yue took a deep breath and let the night air with the flavor of the city fill his chest. In his heart, he felt both uneasy about the unknown future and looking forward to the new life that was about to begin.
His eyes passed through the dim lights, trying to find a trace of the past in this bustling city, but what he found more was endless longing and worry for his mother.
"Akbang, a name that once existed only in a corner of the map, has now become a new starting point for my hope of finding my mother." Li Yue said to herself, her decision was not made rashly.
After careful consideration, it was decided to transfer part of the industries to Akbon and Phoenix. These two cities, with their unique geographical location, stable political environment and booming development potential, have become the best choices for strategic transfer.
However, behind all these plans, finding mother is the most urgent desire in his heart.
Li Yue believes that Akbon's advanced technology, especially the Starlink system known as the "eye of the future", can provide unprecedented search capabilities.
This network of high-precision satellites can cover every corner of the earth, collect and analyze massive amounts of information, and provide unprecedented possibilities for finding missing persons.
Li Yue has activated all resources and channels, inputting her mother's information into the Starlink system, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Whenever night falls, Li Yue always returns to the balcony of the hotel, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, quietly gazing at the night view of the city.
After searching for so long and still no news, this is really the last hope.
I have asked everyone around me for help, and there is no other way.
As for the old father, he doesn't care. His life is still rich and colorful, as if his mother's departure can make him more free and comfortable.
If he wants him to help find her, he would wish his mother would die sooner.
So all my hopes are on myself. It has been so long, and I still don’t know where my mother is. It’s like she has evaporated from the face of the earth.
Things started to get weird. Li Yue thought that he hadn't offended anyone and his family wasn't guilty of anything. So how could his mother suddenly disappear for no reason?
