The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Xie Xuan'an tried hard to maintain his composure and walked into Yang Yang's bedroom with heavy steps.

In the bedroom, Yang Tai was leaning nonchalantly against the bed, his eyes casual but sharp. He just glanced at Xie Xuan and then turned his gaze to the chair opposite the bed.

Xie Xuan'an seemed calm, but his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists. He sat down on the chair carefully.

He asked in a fairly steady tone, "Lord Sun, what is your purpose in carefully preparing for this match?"

The sun looked indifferent, and his tone was as cold as ice: "It's just an ordinary test."

Xie Xuan'an then asked: "Are you satisfied with my performance in the competition?"

The sun raised his eyebrows slightly and answered casually, "Not bad."

After that, Xie Xuan'an racked his brains and asked one question after another, trying to find useful clues from the sun's brief and vague words.

However, the sun's answers were always ambiguous, making him feel as if he was in a fog and had no clue.

When Xie Xuan'an was full of disappointment but still forced a smile to try to hide his inner anxiety, the sun suddenly spoke.

"30 minutes, and you're just going to kill time with these empty, meaningless questions?"

Xie Xuan'an froze instantly, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, but an innocent smile quickly appeared on his face, and he said humbly:

"Lord Sun, I just really want to understand your thoughts."

Sun sat by the bed, his face grim:

"Observe my room carefully and guess my living habits. If you can guess correctly, I will answer one of your questions truthfully and in detail."

Xie Xuan'an took a deep breath to calm himself down, and began to carefully examine every corner of the room, but his fingers were gently stroking his clothes.

The room was so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped. Only Xie Xuan'an's increasingly rapid breathing could be heard clearly. He did not miss any subtle details, and after a long time, he spoke carefully.

"Lord Sun, in my humble opinion, you have had enough sleep."

The sun nodded slightly.

"You are right."

Xie Xuanan took another deep breath, his eyes were firm and anxious, but his tone was still gentle:

"So, Lord Sun, what is your intention in bringing me here? I hope you can give me a true and unreserved answer."

The sun's eyes were calm.

"I just wanted to get to know you."

Xie Xuan'an's heart trembled suddenly, his eyelids twitched unconsciously, his face was full of unbelievable grievance, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Lord Sun, this reason is so far-fetched that I find it hard to believe it."

The sun remained unmoved and continued coldly:

"Believe it or not is none of my business. There are only 15 minutes left, what else do you have to say?"

Xie Xuan'an frowned, lost in deep thought, but with a flattering smile on his face, his legs unconsciously came together.

"Don't know where to start? Then I'll tell you, I know everything about you, do you believe it?"

Xie Xuanan came back to his senses instantly, his eyes were solemn, but his tone was still gentle:

"Lord Sun, since you say you understand me, then you should know what my best skill is?"

Sun raised his eyes slightly, and said firmly:

"You are good at disguise. You look harmless on the outside, but you are actually unfathomable on the inside. You can kill people without changing your expression."

Xie Xuan'an's face turned a little pale, he swallowed his saliva, his hands trembled involuntarily, and he argued with a tearful voice:

"Lord Sun, you are making this up! I have never done anything so cruel, please don't slander me!"

"Yeah." Taiyang seemed not to hear it and didn't care.

Xie Xuan bit his lip and asked impatiently:

"Then do you know what I fear most in my heart?"

The sun was silent for a moment.

"You are afraid of being exposed, and afraid that the carefully constructed mask will be ruthlessly torn apart."

Xie Xuan'an clenched his hands involuntarily, then quickly loosened them, his face full of innocence, and said pitifully:

"Lord Sun, this is pure conjecture. I act uprightly and have a clear conscience. Why would I be afraid of being discovered?"

Xie Xuan'an frowned, his hands trembled slightly, and cold sweat continued to seep from his forehead.

"You're being too pretentious." Taiyang exposed Xie Xuan'an without mercy.

Xie Xuanan smiled bitterly as if he didn't care.

"Can you tell me the most regrettable decision I've ever made?"

The sun didn't think twice.

"We have never eradicated the people we hate."

Xie Xuan'an's eyes widened, full of anger and confusion, but soon changed into a pitiful expression, and cried:

"You are talking nonsense! I have always been friendly with people and have never had any hatred towards anyone. How can I say that I regret not killing someone?"

"Um"

"Then do you know what is the dream that I most want to achieve in my heart?" Xie Xuan'an suddenly changed the subject.

The sun snorted lightly, with the corners of his mouth raised with a hint of contempt.

"You want to create a world controlled by you, full of violence and dictatorship."

Xie Xuan'an's eyes were filled with tears, full of helplessness and grievance, and he cried out:

"Lord Sun, your imagination is too outrageous! I have always pursued fairness, justice and peace. How could I have such an evil idea?"

"Ah."

The sun pointed at his eyes nonchalantly.

"I can see through people's hearts. If you don't believe me, keep asking."

Xie Xuan'an still tried to hide his inner panic. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the sun cautiously, his tone so gentle as if he was praying.

"You said you know me, so can you guess what I'm planning recently?"

His eyes were fixed on the sun, trying to catch a clue from his expression.

The sun looked stern and responded quickly.

"It's about controlling people's hearts, isn't it?"

Xie Xuan'an was shocked and curled his fingers slightly, but he tried to keep calm on his face, and his voice was pleading.

"I find it hard to believe. So, can you tell me how I build relationships with people?"

Taiyang frowned, as if he was unhappy with Xie Xuan'an's provocative look.

"Give them some benefits first, so they can let down their guard."

Xie Xuan retorted.

"How can this explain the problem? Then do you know how I judge a person's value?"

His expression became more complicated.

The sun remains.

"It depends on its value to you and its loyalty."

Xie Xuan'an leaned forward slightly, speaking in an urgent tone.

"Then can you tell me how I can make others let down their guard against me?"

The sun didn't hesitate.

"Pretend to be sincere and friendly."

Xie Xuan'an frowned slightly.

"Then can you guess my definition of a friend?"

The sun didn't think twice.

"Those who can be controlled and used by you are your friends."

Xie Xuan'an's breathing was a little rapid.

"Then tell me how can I make others dependent on me?"

The sun is calm.

“Create conditions and circumstances for it to be dependent on you.”

Xie Xuan'an's eyes revealed anxiety.

"Then do you know how I can tell whether someone is sincere or not?"

“Observe their subtle reactions and behavioral details.”

"Then can you tell me how I can establish an image in the minds of others?"

The sun replied.

"Create a perfect but false persona."

Xie Xuan'an raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of provocation.

"That's great. Can you guess how I would deal with possible betrayal?"

The sun is decisive.

"Prepare in advance, and eliminate immediately if there is any betrayal."

Xie Xuan'an's smile became more bitter.

"Then tell me how I can exploit other people's weaknesses?"

The sun replied.

"Observe carefully and strike with precision."

Beads of sweat appeared on Xie Xuan'an's forehead.

"Then do you know how I can hide my true intentions?"

Said the sun.

"Covered up with lies and excuses."

"Then tell me how I can control other people's emotions?"

The sun replied.

"Stir up their emotions and manipulate their thoughts."

Xie Xuan'an's eyes were flustered.

"So can you guess how I decide if I should get rid of someone?"

“When the other party threatens your fundamental interests and you cannot control them.”

Xie Xuan'an's body trembled slightly.

"Then tell me how I can dispel other people's suspicions?"

"Distract their attention and create a new focus."

Xie Xuan'an's voice was low.

"Then do you know how I can make others fall in love with me?"

The sun replied.

"Giving them false hope and an inescapable sense of dependency."

Xie Xuan'an's expression became serious.

"Then tell me how I pretend to be kind in front of them?"

“Show concern and compassion, even if you feel nothing inside.”

Xie Xuan'an stared straight into the sun's eyes.

"Then can you guess how I balance interests and feelings?"

"In your heart, interests always come first."

Xie Xuan clenched his fists.

"Then tell me how I should deal with the condemnation of my conscience?"

The sun replied.

"You have your own measure in your heart."

"Then do you know how I create conflicts among others?"

The sun replied.

"To sow discord and fan the flames."

Xie Xuan'an's face gradually turned pale.

"Then tell me how I can control the situation?"

The sun replied.

"Master the key information and only reveal the parts that are beneficial to you."

Xie Xuan'an stared straight at the sun, his heart filled with shock and confusion.

The sun just looked at him indifferently and said coldly.

"You're not afraid at all, are you?"

"How could that be, Lord Sun?"

The sun continued.

"Go, cook me a dish."

Xie Xuan'an's heart suddenly tightened, but he still had a kind smile on his face and responded, "Okay, I'm happy to help."

The two came to the kitchen on the first floor. Xie Xuan stood in the middle of the kitchen, his eyes scanning every corner of the kitchen in a panic. Those pots, pans, and fresh ingredients seemed like insurmountable obstacles in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and slowly picked up the basket. His hands were shaking violently. Selecting the ingredients was like making a difficult decision. He had to think for a long time before making each choice, and he would secretly glance at the sun from time to time.

Turning on the tap, the sound of running water was particularly harsh in this quiet space. He was washing the vegetables nervously, the water hitting the leaves and water droplets splashing everywhere, but his mind was not on washing the vegetables at all, and he was not aware of the water splashing on his body.

When he was cutting vegetables, his hands were shaking, and the knife seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hands. The vegetables he cut were uneven in size and shape. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but he didn't bother to raise his hand to wipe them off.

He lit the fire, poured in the oil, and the sizzling sound in the pan seemed like a death spell. His body couldn't help but tremble violently, and his stir-frying movements were stiff and slow. From time to time, he secretly glanced at the sun, fearing that the sun would show a hint of dissatisfaction.

The food was tumbling in the pot and the aroma was gradually wafting out, but his expression was still as tense as a taut bowstring, his brows were furrowed, as if this dish was determining his life or death.

Finally, it was done. Xie Xuan hurriedly turned off the fire, carefully put the dish on a plate, held the plate with both hands, handed it to Taiyang with a flattering look on his face, and said in a trembling voice with a hint of pleading: "Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Sun took a bite and frowned slightly.

Xie Xu'an's heart was in his throat, but he forced a flattering smile. That smile was uglier than crying, and his eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation.

"So-so." The Sun commented.

Xie Xuanan quickly replied, "Yes, Sun, I will practice more."

The housekeeper walked in at this time, and his voice broke the suffocating silence: "30 minutes are up."

Xie Xuanan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and his voice trembled a little: "Then Taiyang, I'll go back to my room first."

Taiyang didn't say anything. He just watched him leave quietly, with an unfathomable look in his eyes. Then he sneered, and the laughter echoed in the empty room.

"True and false, even I am deceiving myself."

The butler was waiting nearby.

"Bring the food to my room." Taiyang suddenly ordered.

"Yes."

Fourth floor.

Every movement of Xie Xuan'an revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

He lay powerlessly on the bed, his thoughts a tangled mess, wondering what went wrong.

Why does Sun know himself so well?

Having someone who understands me like this means that it will be much more difficult for me to escape.

The hope of returning home seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer.

But soon, he forced himself to calm down, and thought secretly in his mind: Perhaps, I should continue to paralyze the sun, wait for the opportunity, and find a way to escape.
