Chapter 226 226 Treat yourself as a human being, and treat others as human beings...

Guan Xia tried hard to control her facial expression, fearing that she would reveal even a hint of contempt or resentment.

She naturally didn't believe what Wu Yang said, but since Wu Yang had already denied it, she could only continue to ask from another angle.

Guan Xia sneered at Wu Yang and said, "Even if what you said is true, and Lin Jinnan is in charge of everything related to the orphanage, then as a child who also walked out of that orphanage, you just watched and ignored all this, allowing Lin Jinnan to lead those poor orphans onto the path of crime? Their starting point was already very low, and you..."

Unexpectedly, Guan Xia was only halfway through her first sentence when Wu Yang rudely interrupted her. Still smiling, he looked at Guan Xia and shook his head, saying, "You've got one thing wrong again. It's only you who decide whether that path is a criminal one. But for us, they're on a very sacred path of struggle. There's so much injustice in this world, and they're among those oppressed by it. Without us, they'd be beaten, humiliated, and despairing. It's us who gave them the courage and weapons to live happily and freely in this world. Isn't that wonderful? If I'm guessing correctly, you've met Yao Qingyan and Wang Huiqin, and you must have investigated them. Since you've done that, you should know what kind of lives they led in the past. Think about their current situation. Isn't the contrast obvious enough?"

Wu Yang's words were very provocative, but Guan Xia remained unmoved. She simply stared at him coldly, emphasizing one fact: "Their current situation? The contrast is indeed quite obvious. At least they were still alive before, but now? They are dead, killed by you."

"No, no, no," Wu Yang smiled and said, "You're wrong again. We didn't kill them. You killed them. Yao Qingyan died at the hands of your police, and Wang Huiqin committed suicide. We have always been very tolerant of our own people."

Guan Xia wanted to sneer again when he heard this, "What about Lu Manqing? And Wu Xingxian? Don't say you don't know, these two people were silenced by you."

Wu Yang seemed to have known Guan Xia would say this. His expression remained unchanged as he continued smiling. "It seems that although you are excellent, your memory is not very good. Didn't I say this before? Li Feng's wife was killed because I didn't want to go to jail. The same goes for Lu Manqing and the others. If they were captured, they would expose us. To protect ourselves, we had no choice but to abandon them. I think they would be willing to do so if they were alive."

Guan Xia looked at Wu Yang, who looked like a decent man, and found him disgusting. She even hated him so much that she didn't want to talk to him at one point. But when she thought that the interrogation was not over yet and the questions she wanted to ask had not been fully answered, she could only continue to speak patiently.

Guan Xia took a deep breath and looked at Wu Yang and said, "Whether you admit it or not, the fact is that if you hadn't lured those children from the orphanage onto the path of crime, they would have had a better life. At least they wouldn't be facing imprisonment like they are now."

Wu Yang smiled gently and said, "Every life has its own way out. Just like we lost, they, as one of us, also lost. If you lose, you must accept the loss. There is nothing to regret. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Lin Jinnan to see if she regrets it."

Guan Xia looked at him with an indifferent expression and did not respond to these words.

She did plan to meet Lin Jinnan again after interrogating Wu Yang. Guan Xia was also very curious about this confidant of Wu Yang who suddenly appeared. She wondered how Lin Jinnan had gone from being a smart, motivated and promising young man to where he is today.

The interrogation lasted less than two hours, but Guan Xia had lost all her curiosity and patience towards Wu Yang due to his bizarre words. She just wanted to end the interrogation as soon as possible and let the real interrogation expert handle the rest, so she asked the last question.

"What about Meng Lan?" Guan Xia asked, "You can deny it about others, but you can't deny it about Meng Lan anymore, right? I know you've met Meng Lan several times. Have you been eyeing her since she was very young, wanting to guide her down that path?"

Wu Yang showed a contemptuous expression this time and spoke casually, "Meng Lan? I know she's important to you, but to me, she's just an ordinary child among the countless children in the orphanage. If she's special, it's because Anan thought she was special. She mentioned her to me a few times, so I curiously asked her out for a meeting. But after meeting her, I was greatly disappointed. In my opinion, she's not smart enough, not cruel enough, and not bold enough. I don't know how Anan fell in love with her and how he gave her so much patience, but to me, she's just an insignificant person among the countless people."

Wu Yang paused as he spoke, then smiled again at Guan Xia. "I've rarely regretted anything in my life, but now I do. I should have listened to Anan and paid more attention to Meng Lan. That way, I would have discovered you sooner, and we might not have reached this point. Speaking of which, you haven't answered my previous question yet. How do you manage to ignore those voices? Don't you feel irritated? Aren't you in pain? Aren't you jealous? Looking at that face that looks so similar to yours, but is much happier than you, don't you want to ruin her?"

Wu Yang's arrogant expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Guan Xia with a curious and puzzled look.

Guan Xia sighed inwardly after hearing this. Sure enough, it was no coincidence that her blood sister could find her. Everything was guided by Wu Yang and the others behind the scenes. But what puzzled Guan Xia was that since they had done all this, why did they seem to have discovered her only recently?

Guan Xia was confused and asked, "Before I answer you, please answer me another question. When did you target me? Why did you let someone who looks like me appear in front of me? What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?" Wu Yang smiled and said, "There is no purpose. It's just an experiment I conducted casually. The initiator was not me, but Anan. She knew you through Meng Lan. At first, she just thought you were too weak and too heartless, like a dough. You didn't care how others scolded you or bullied you. Compared with Meng Lan, you were like two different people. Anan didn't believe that there would be such a weak person in the world who could live so well. So she did a simple check and found that your biological parents abandoned you and gave birth to a daughter who looked very much like you. She wanted to do an experiment. When she really saw this daughter, she would see if your calm face would produce any interesting changes."

Guan Xia felt sick and wanted to vomit after hearing this. These people claimed that they were punishing evil and promoting good, and that they were filling in loopholes in the law, but their words showed extreme contempt for other people's lives and life. They did not regard anyone other than themselves as human beings at all. They arbitrarily changed and played with the fate of others, treating it as a game and an experiment, but in the end they still acted like they were doing good deeds and you should be grateful.

Guan Xia recalled all the information about Wu Yang she had found out in the past few days. She initially thought that he had sympathy for poor people like Sun Xiuxiu, which was why he created such a large-scale criminal organization. But now it seems that he is simply a lunatic and a pervert. He uses punishing evil and promoting good as a pretext, but the real core is that he has no respect or awe for life. In his eyes, people are no different from cats and dogs, so he can easily decide a person's life or death, even if that person is his brother's wife, or even a brother he grew up with.

No wonder he can become the villain in the world of criminal investigation novels. He is indeed very perverted. While Guan Xia was analyzing it in his mind, he did not forget to sigh.

After asking all the questions she wanted to ask, Guan Xia didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood up decisively.

Wu Yang realized something and asked anxiously, "You haven't answered me yet. How do you manage to ignore those voices? Have you never experienced pain and resentment?"

Guan Xia paused, subconsciously recalling her experiences before and after the time travel. She took one last look at Wu Yang and said calmly, "If you treat yourself and others as human beings, you'll find that there are countless people like me. Of course, we have our moments of pain and resentment, but hope never disappears in our hearts. That's why we can always put those pain and resentment aside and move forward as lightly as a swallow."

After saying these words, Guan Xia left the interrogation room without looking back. Before she pushed the door open and left, Wu Yang, who knew what had happened, actually kept muttering, "Treat yourself as a human being, and treat others as human beings. Treat yourself as a human being, and treat others as human beings..."

Guan Xia didn't stop. After walking out of the interrogation room, he closed the door and also locked Wu Yang and the repeated words inside.

Guan Xia knew that there would be a lot of people in the room where she could observe the interrogation, but she didn't expect there would be so many people, so many that they had to squeeze to stand. However, perhaps because Guan Xia was in the interrogation room, as soon as she came out, she saw Xu Nian, Pang Le and others occupying a better position. She looked over, and they happened to look over too. Pang Le and Zhong Xiaoyu even smiled broadly and waved at her.

Guan Xia subconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, and then saw Director Gao pat her on the shoulder in approval, "Well done, you've worked so hard during this period, Expert Guan. Leave the rest to us. You guys should have a good rest. The most important thing is to heal your injuries well and avoid any sequelae."

As Director Gao finished speaking, several task force leaders, whether they had met Guan Xia before or not, all praised Guan Xia. It was not until Captain Zhang walked out of the interrogation room that the others stopped talking and began to discuss the candidates for the second round of interrogations.

Guan Xia and the others took this opportunity to quietly slip out of the room where they were watching the interrogation.

After finally finding a corner with few people around, Pang Le gave Guan Xia a big hug and said excitedly, "Guan Xia, you're amazing. I knew you were great, but I didn't expect you to be this good. You can hold your own against Wu Yang, and even suppress his momentum, letting him be influenced by what you said."

Guan Xia knew that Pang Le was referring to the scene where she heard Wu Yang mumbling to himself before leaving the interrogation room. To be honest, she did not expect that Wu Yang, a criminal with an innate antisocial personality and his own logic, would be affected by her last words.

She was a little confused, but too lazy to think about it. She smiled and said, "Maybe he is really affected, or maybe he is pretending. Who knows? Anyway, he has been caught. I don't need to care what he thinks."

"That's right," Zhong Xiaoyu said, "We are normal people, and he is a pervert. How can a normal person understand the logic of a pervert? So let's not make things difficult for ourselves. We don't care what he thinks. We just need to know that he will pay the price for his crimes and be executed."

Guan Xia had never thought of asking Xu Nian about whether he would be sentenced to death, nor had she ever doubted it. After all, the soul light ball of Wu Yang that Guan Xia had seen was so red that it was almost black. It seemed that even if the country's death penalty standards were stricter, he would definitely meet the standards.

Compared to the excitement of Zhong Xiaoyu and Pang Le, Ji An was much calmer. He gently patted Guan Xia on the back and said with a smile, "Are you tired? You haven't had a good sleep or a good meal for several days. While it's still light, why don't we go have a meal together? As for the rest, we can talk about it when we get back."

Pang Le and Zhong Xiaoyu responded in unison, "Sure! I want a big meal, I want hot pot. I've been eating instant noodles and boxed lunches for days, and my appetite is almost drained."

Guan Xia also smiled and nodded in relief. Then she remembered something and turned to look at Xu Nian and asked, "After interrogating Wu Yang, I want to meet Lin Jinnan. Can the task force accommodate my schedule?"

Xu Nian nodded without even thinking, "Of course. I spoke to Director Gao before you came out of the interrogation room. Director Gao has no objection at all and said he will actively accommodate your schedule. Furthermore, Lin Jinnan has actually been asking to see you."

Guan Xia was really surprised. "She wants to see me too?"

Xu Nian said, "Yeah, we didn't expect that either. But after discussing it, she probably knew from the Wu Xingxian and Linjia Village cases that you were the real reason for their arrest. Didn't we previously analyze that she's very similar to Wu Yang, practically a carbon copy of him? So we suspect Wu Yang is curious about you, and she's curious about you too. However, compared to Wu Yang, her attitude will probably be much sharper. Be careful when you're interrogating her, and don't be affected by her attitude."

Guan Xia was not worried, but smiled instead. In Xu Nian and the others' opinion, Wu Yang treated her well, but in fact, it was just Wu Yang's disguise. After all, only Guan Xia could see the system interface.

Guan Xia Ke still remembered that as long as the criminals she met did not have any ill intentions towards her, her aura consumption would not reach 100%. However, during her two meetings with Wu Yang, the aura consumption value on the system interface was so high that it almost filled the screen every minute and every second. If she had not fully mastered the use of the system and closed the system interface when interrogating Wu Yang, she would not have been able to concentrate on observing every subtle expression of Wu Yang when he spoke.

She was not worried about how Lin Jinnan would treat her. Even if Wu Yang hated her to death, he couldn't do anything to her. As long as she was alive, it would be the greatest harm to Wu Yang and Lin Jinnan.
