Chapter 225 225 Guan Xia just felt that these two people were really shameless...
In fact, in terms of age, Wu Yang is not yet fifty years old and is not considered old, but perhaps he was lost in memories. Looking at the people with clear logic and clear organization, he became talkative and his expression became less pretentious, revealing his true side.
Wu Yang said with regret, "Actually, of the six of us who grew up together, Xingxian is the most like me and the one we have the best rapport with. Maybe it's blood ties. Li Song and the others don't understand a lot of my thoughts, but Xingxian always understands why I'm upset. Actually, sometimes I don't understand why I'm upset either. After all, if you think about it, I'm smart, I'm good-looking, and my emotional intelligence isn't high, but it's definitely not low. Aside from some hardships in my childhood, after junior high, everyone around me respected me, especially the teachers and principal. They looked forward to and enjoyed the honor I brought them. Not to mention being bullied, even if someone accidentally bumped into me, they'd be incredibly nervous, afraid that something so small would upset me and cause my grades to fall. Li Song and the others can't understand it, and sometimes I don't either. Compared to many people, my life is actually pretty good. Even after my parents died and I was sent to an orphanage, I still had five friends I grew up with, right? One of them is my blood brother. But why do I just feel annoyed? I feel annoyed with this world."
Guan Xia couldn't tell whether Wu Yang was sincere or pretending. There was a hint of confusion on her face, and her eyes were not focused. She stared blankly in a certain direction and murmured, "It's so annoying. There are always endless complaints, crying, and cursing in my ears. They are cursing this world and cursing God for being blind. They always have so many dissatisfactions and so much pain. I am obviously not related to them, but as I listened, I felt that I was also in pain. I also felt that this world is unfair. Why is that..." Some people are so stupid and evil, yet they still have parents and relatives who love them. And I, who am so outstanding and smart, lost my parents and relatives in a fire. No one cares if I'm hungry or cold, or if I kick off the covers at night. I'm used to living alone, but listening to those complaints, I suddenly feel lonely. I often think, if only there wasn't that fire, then the care I receive would be pure, and I wouldn't have to weigh the pros and cons, or distinguish between truth and falsehood.
As Wu Yang was talking, he suddenly fell silent. No one knew what he was thinking about. He laughed mockingly twice, and then his empty eyes became serious.
Wu Yang returned his gaze to Guan Xia's face and asked sincerely, "Actually, ever since the day I met you, I've been wanting to ask you a question. Have you ever heard those complaints? Complaining about working so hard, but the end point you pursue throughout your life is just the starting point for others. Hasn't that ever affected you?"
Wu Yang fell silent again. Seeing Guan Xia suddenly give a nervous laugh, he continued, "No, you and I were from the same orphanage. You must have heard of it. If you haven't heard of others, you must have heard of Meng Lan. To be honest, I'm a little curious. How did you become friends with her? You're obviously two different people. Don't you feel annoyed listening to her constant complaints?"
Guan Xia still looked at him seriously without saying anything. Faced with this question, she didn't know how to answer.
While she was considering, Wu Yang spoke again, as if he didn't care at all whether she answered or not. He smiled and said, "It seems that I am still a little inferior to you, which makes me feel very annoyed. In fact, I don't want to be affected, but there is no way. I can't do it, so in order to keep my ears clear, I can only do something."
Guan Xia's heart moved when she heard this, and she instinctively asked, "So you founded that organization?"
Wu Yang smiled and shook his head. "I can't say I created it. The only thing I did was to turn my confusion into everyone else's. Even if Li Song and the others can't understand me as well as Xingxian does, just a little understanding is enough. But it's a pity that in this world, you are yourself and everyone else is someone else. Even if a few people seem to be so tacitly in sync and in sync, they are still different once you peel off the superficial similarities."
Guan Xia heard his emotion and his strong desire to talk, and very cooperatively asked, "What happened back then? Did they betray your shared ideals?"
Wu Yang sighed with emotion again before saying, "It's not a common philosophy. In fact, when I think about it afterwards, they were just trying to fool me from the beginning, but I didn't see it myself. But that's right. I used them as tools to keep my ears quiet. Why can't they use other people as tools to achieve their own goals? In fact, I don't blame them that much. I just can't stand it. What they did made the world noisier. Before, it was just complaints, but later it turned into crying. This sound makes me more irritated than the complaints. I didn't want to kill Li Song at first, but he was too stubborn. He still wanted to make those crying sounds. I had no choice. I couldn't persuade him, and he refused to leave on his own. I could only find a way to make him disappear."
"What about Lü Xiangmei?" Guan Xia pressed on. "As far as I know, Lü Xiangmei and Li Feng are in a romantic relationship and have a daughter. They have a deep and happy relationship and a happy family. They haven't complained or cried much, and it hasn't bothered you at all. Why would you want her to disappear too?"
"Because I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want Li Feng to go to jail," Wu Yang smiled as if it was a matter of course. "In fact, at the beginning, when she and Li Feng started a family, I was very welcome and blessed. I like this girl very much. She is enthusiastic, optimistic, lively and cheerful. Every time I see her, I hear a series of happy laughter lingering in my ears. I enjoy this sound very much. So, in order to encourage her, I pay more attention to Li Feng than Xingxian. But unfortunately, she witnessed the scene where Li Feng killed and dismembered people. She was too naive, thinking that Li Feng loved her and would definitely listen to her. She asked Li Feng to surrender himself and also to give me away. At that time, my career was at a critical stage, and I had a promising future that was visible to the naked eye. How could I go to jail? In order to avoid going to jail and not let Li Feng go to jail, she had no choice but to disappear."
Wu Yang smiled and said regretfully, "I originally thought that as long as Li Song and her disappeared, everything would return to normal. In the end, the crying sounds that annoyed me did not decrease. Li Feng, that idiot, did he think that I couldn't hear those sounds just because he forced a smile in front of me? I could feel his pain and crying from his eyes and expression. I wanted to endure it, but I overestimated myself. I didn't even endure it for two years before I couldn't bear it anymore and let him go."
"Li Song is dead, Li Feng is gone, so what about the remaining three people? Wu Xingxian, Li Huai, and Li Wei, why did you let them go too?" Guan Xia asked.
Wu Yang seemed a little tired of sitting. He changed to a more comfortable position and leaned back in the interrogation chair. "On the one hand, they have changed because of Li Song's death. On the other hand, I have more suitable people around me, so the significance of their existence is not that important anymore."
Wu Yang's words were vague, but Guan Xia immediately understood, "You found Lin Jinnan?"
Wu Yang smiled and nodded again, looking at Guan Xia with approval. "You are indeed very smart. Yes, I discovered Lin Jinnan. Although she is much younger than me, she understands me better than Xingxian. Many of her thoughts and ideas are exactly the same as mine. She is also smarter and more cautious than Xingxian. It's like another me. With her around, Xingxian and the others are not that important. She can implement my ideas very well, and in fact, she is. Since having her, my life has been very smooth every day. I have more and more people available to me. The loopholes in the rules of this world are gradually being filled by us."
Wu Yang was happy to hear this, but Guan Xia just thought it was ridiculous. "A loophole in the rules?"
She only now realized that she had been too early to make such a decision. Although Wu Yang was somewhat different from their guesses and imaginations, when it came down to the most fundamental principles, there were still some similarities.
He really regarded himself as a savior, elevating himself above the ordinary people and becoming a superior being. Guan Xia suspected that he was also looking down on her when he spoke to her at this time. In the eyes of others, he was a human being, but in his own eyes, he was a god.
Wu Yang smiled again and said, "Yes, although there are laws in this world, there are obviously loopholes. Take the case that you first discovered us in. Who caused the pain and misery of Zhang Weiyan's family? It was his uncle Zhang Hongda. Zhang Weiyan's father died because of him, but what did he do? He turned his kindness against his enemies and used his biased father to seize the property of the orphan and widow. If the law was fair and perfect enough, all this should not have happened, but it happened. Zhang Weiyan, who was originally a very smart person, failed to complete his studies. A middle-aged man still has to work odd jobs to make a living, and can't even afford the medical expenses for his wife's serious illness. Look at the culprits, Zhang Hongda's family, how fat they are, their faces full of flesh, and their clothes have to be custom-made. Since the law can't provide fairness, then we will give it to them. Zhang Hongda's family has eaten and taken more, and forcibly seized what doesn't belong to them. What's already in their mouths is obviously impossible to spit out. Zhang Weiyan's family has already suffered and it is obvious that they can't go back to the way they were before, so they can only pay with their lives. You may think it's cruel, but you think I'm fair. Don't you think Zhang Weiyan is very satisfied?"
Guan Xia's cognition was overturned again. It turned out that the real motive behind the murder of Zhang Weiyan's uncle Zhang Hongda and his family of four was not revenge for Zhang Weiyan as Guan Xia thought, but just for fairness in Wu Yang's eyes.
Guan Xia once again found it absurd. "Zhang Hongda turned his back on a widow and an orphan, and he certainly wasn't a good man, but what about his two children? When Zhang Weiyan's father drowned while saving Zhang Hongda, his two sons were just children too. Why did you kill them too for the sake of fairness?"
Wu Yang spread his hands and said, "Because they also ate the portion that Zhang Hongda had forcibly taken away from them, they also ate it to their heart's content. As the vested interests, since they ate it, they naturally have to pay the price."
Guan Xia looked at Wu Yang's naturally relaxed expression and felt cold all over. She didn't know what to say.
Saying that what they did was wrong, that fighting violence with violence was itself illegal, or that they had no right to decide what was fair, Guan Xia believed that no matter what she said, Wu Yang had sufficient reasons and logic to refute her. After all, in his world, he had his own complete set of values and code of conduct. He said that he was filling the loopholes in the law, but Guan Xia felt that in his eyes, the law was nothing. He himself was the law, and the rules he set were the rules.
Guan Xia took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before finally asking the question that had been on her mind the most. "What about the orphanage? Since you care so much about the weak, why do you drag the children in the orphanage into this? Aren't they pitiful enough?"
"No, no, no," Wu Yang smiled and shook his head. "You got one thing wrong. I'm just annoyed by the crying, not out of pity for the weak. After all, seriously speaking, I was born in an orphanage, so I'm considered weak. Although I really want to answer you, you've obviously asked the wrong person. I didn't bring those children in the orphanage. If you really want to find them, you should go to Anan. She let them in because she felt pity for them."
Guan Xia just felt that these two people were really shameless. They did things to hurt you, but they still claimed that they were doing it for your own good.
