The system appeared very quickly.
Why didn't you tell me what's been happening in Shisong Brigade lately?
Song Lan asked.
[Replying to the host, it's not that the system doesn't want to tell you, it's just that those matters are irrelevant to the host!]
It is a system that came into this world only to assist the host in completing tasks, not to manage everything.
"Just because it's none of my business, you're going to stand by and watch innocent people be persecuted?"
Song Lan's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed.
[Host, please don't let your emotions cloud your judgment when speaking to this system. As for the innocent people you speak of, this system can tell you very clearly that they are not innocent!]
The system's mechanical voice was devoid of any emotion.
"..."
Song Lan remained silent for a long time.
Yang He had plotted to get Yuan Xiaoya into the hands of kidnappers, and Song Jiaojiao was the mastermind behind it all. If Song Jiaojiao hadn't instigated her more than once, there wouldn't have been any conflict between Yang He and Yuan Xiaoya.
But the events involving the three of them, taken together, suggest that they are all harboring evil intentions and are not good people. Does the host intend to show compassion and become their savior?
Although a system is a string of code, that doesn't mean it doesn't understand right and wrong.
Moreover, it despises humans with impure intentions.
After all, it's a great system!
Its appearance represents justice!
Otherwise, why bother with these ridiculous tasks, like assisting the host in helping the original owner achieve a comeback?!
Song Lan possessed the original owner's memories, and having lived in this world for several years, she naturally knew what a "Holy Mother" was.
Because religious sects introduced from abroad are not unfamiliar to people of this era.
"System, I'm not trying to be a saint or someone's savior. I... I just feel that Yang Zhiqing's child is innocent."
As a former young general and a female marquis personally appointed by the emperor, Song Lan had killed many enemy soldiers on the battlefield, which shows that she would not show kindness indiscriminately.
Just moments before, the words she spoke to the system through her consciousness were, in a split second, a misunderstanding of the entanglement between Yuan Xiaoya and the other two.
Most importantly, I genuinely believe that Yang He's child is innocent. If he had been trafficked and sold, he might have been trapped in a quagmire for the rest of his life.
Song Lan is soft-hearted, but this soft-heartedness is reserved for that innocent child.
[Host, this system can tell you that the child was abandoned by abductors, but she was found by a middle-aged couple who had been unable to conceive for many years. It seems her future will be bright!]
The system's emotionless, mechanical voice echoed in Song Lan's mind.
"Children are not living with their parents..."
Before Song Lan could finish speaking, the system seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and the mechanical voice sounded again.
[Host, Yang He and her husband don't like their child at all. They usually take their anger out on the child while the other completely ignores them.]
The child cries for food every day because of them. Does the host think that having such parents is a blessing or a curse for the child?
"this……"
Song Lan remained silent for a long time.
[Host, this system will not hide it from you, Yang He and Song Jiaojiao are currently in the hands of kidnappers, and they are already on a train to Yunnan Province.]
Their incident occurred a week prior when Yuan Xiaoya requested leave from the brigade leader to obtain a certificate, and specifically sought out people in the city to find out the locations where the kidnappers were active.
Then, they secretly made a deal with the kidnappers, selling Yang He and Song Jiaojiao for 1,000 yuan!
The system announced Yuan Xiaoya's actions.
Song Lan asked in confusion, "If the kidnapper wanted to sell the child, why did he abandon the child?"
That's really unreasonable!
The child already had a cold, but developed a high fever upon arriving at the city train station. The kidnapper, finding the child a burden, simply abandoned him next to a trash can!
Kidnappers commit numerous atrocities. If the system weren't bound by the rule of not taking lives arbitrarily, it would definitely eliminate every kidnapper it sees!
Song Lan's brows furrowed deeply. She said, "Kidnappers are truly hateful! System, although the entanglement between Yuan Xiaoya and the other two is their own business..."
But their scheming against each other is also a crime, and human traffickers are even more vicious; their crime of human trafficking is unforgivable.
If I don't intervene, am I supposed to let them get away with it, continuing to traffic people and destroy families?
[How does the host intend to manage this? You should know that Yang He and Song Jiaojiao are currently being held by kidnappers and are on a train heading to Yunnan Province. Do you intend to rush over there?]
But do you think that's realistic? Or, if you call the police, what excuse will the host use to explain to the police how they knew the trafficker was going to take the person to Yunnan Province?
The system jumped up and down in Song Lan's sea of consciousness, making it easy to see that it was very active at the moment.
"I……"
Song Lan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll write an anonymous letter to the police!"
[The host wouldn't be asking this system to deliver a message for them, would they?]
The system remained motionless in Song Lan's sea of consciousness, as if it had been frozen in place.
Song Lan's consciousness looked at it, cupped its hands and said, "Please, system! I'm not being a saint, I just want those kidnappers to be arrested and to suffer the consequences for their crimes."
As for Yang He, Song Jiaojiao, Yuan Xiaoya, and the others... to be honest, they did commit crimes.
Or, if they broke the law, then the law should punish them, and they should be sentenced according to the severity of their crimes!
This system doesn't help for nothing!
It's a system, and it's very principled!
How many merit points do you want deducted?
Song Lan is quite direct.
Five! Okay, three it is, no less!
The system responded.
Song Lan laughed: "Five will do, I'm not stingy."
Upon hearing this, the system was so happy that it circled around Song Lan's consciousness.
