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

After Su Yi took the initiative to sincerely apologize to Xie Xuan'an, the two finally reconciled, and the previous conflicts and misunderstandings disappeared like smoke.

On this day, the whole university was in a tense and excited atmosphere, because the school held a much-watched court debate competition, the theme of which was "Is the development of artificial intelligence a blessing or a curse for human society?" All teachers and students were invited to watch. Xie Xuan'an, Su Yi and others walked into the spacious debate arena and found seats to sit down.

Xie Xuan'an glanced casually across the arena, but unexpectedly saw Zhao Heng on the stage. I haven't seen him for so many days. Has he been preparing for this game?

While Xie Xuan'an was still thinking, Yi Shou and Su Yi quickly sat on both sides of him, sandwiching him tightly in the middle. This made Xie Xuan'an feel a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and thought to himself: "These two guys insisted on sandwiching me in the middle. It's really uncomfortable!" But he didn't tell Su Yi to change seats.

What was even more surprising was that Shao Liechuan was not far away. Seeing this, Shao Liechuan walked towards Su Yi and said, "Su Yi, let's change seats."

Su Yi refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it. Have you forgotten how you laughed at me and Xie Xuan'an?"

Shao Liechuan looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to give up his good seat, so he said, "Okay, I'll sit next to you."

At this time, the debate officially began. The first speaker of the affirmative side spoke first. This student stood straight and confidently, cleared his throat and said: "We believe that the development of artificial intelligence is definitely a good thing for human society. It has greatly improved production efficiency and brought unprecedented convenience to people's lives. For example, smart homes make our lives more comfortable and convenient, and smart medical systems can diagnose diseases more accurately..."

When it was Zhao Heng's turn to speak, he stood up calmly with a confident smile on his face, and he looked very calm. He looked at his opponent firmly and said, "What the opponent said seems to be good, but it overlooked an important issue. The development of artificial intelligence has indeed brought some conveniences, but there are also many hidden dangers. Take employment for example. Many repetitive jobs have been replaced by artificial intelligence, and many people have lost their jobs. Isn't this a social crisis? In addition, when artificial intelligence makes decisions, it does not have human emotions and moral judgments. If it makes a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous..." Zhao Heng systematically gave a lot of accurate data and examples to refute the affirmative side's point of view. He spoke very well and his logic was clear, which surprised the audience.

During the free debate, the opposing debater wanted to refute Zhao Heng's point of view. A girl with short hair said excitedly: "However, the development of artificial intelligence is unstoppable. We cannot stop developing it just because there may be problems. We should actively accept this change, strengthen management and guidance, and let it better serve mankind!"

Zhao Heng was not nervous at all. He folded his hands over his chest, raised his chin slightly, and answered calmly: "How can management and guidance be that easy? Technological development often exceeds our imagination and control. Once something goes wrong, it may be an irreversible disaster. For example, if artificial intelligence is used in the military, the emergence of automatic weapons may cause unexpected war conflicts."

Another boy wearing glasses on the affirmative side immediately retorted: "But we can't just look at the bad ones. Artificial intelligence can achieve personalized teaching in education, so that each student can have a learning method that suits him or her. Isn't this a great contribution to mankind?"

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "Yes, it is good for education, but if we rely too much on artificial intelligence, will students lose the ability to think independently? What about communication and interaction between people?"

Xie Xuan'an kept his eyes on the stage, and couldn't help but admire in his heart: "I didn't realize that Zhao Heng was so good at debate! His eloquence and logic are simply amazing!" At the same time, he thought: "If I were to go up there, I would definitely be speechless by the other party."

As the debate progressed, the two contestants exchanged words, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense and intense. The audience sometimes thought seriously and sometimes applauded enthusiastically.

Although Xie Xuan, who was sandwiched in the middle, was not feeling well physically, his mind was fully focused on the debate. He was excited by the contestants' wonderful performances, but at the same time he was a little annoyed because it was too crowded.

As the game became more and more intense, Zhao Heng remained calm and constantly came up with new ideas and evidence, winning key points for his team.

Finally, the game ended with warm applause. When the audience began to leave, Xie Xuanan came back to his senses.

He stood up and stretched, still thinking about the wonderful debate that had just taken place.

Su Yi and Yi Shou asked Xie Xuan'an to walk with them. The three of them walked side by side. When they came to a quiet path, they were suddenly stopped by a voice from behind.

"Xie Xuan'an, wait a minute!" It was Zhao Heng's anxious voice.

Xie Xuan'an and the others stopped, turned around, and saw Zhao Heng walking towards them quickly.

"Zhao Heng, what's the matter?" Xie Xuan'an asked puzzledly.

Zhao Heng looked at Su Yi and Yi Shou, hesitated for a moment and said, "Xie Xuan'an, I actually want to talk to you alone. I was able to perform so well in this debate thanks to the advice you gave me before. I think it is very inspiring to communicate with you, so I would like to ask you to walk with me to the playground later and have a good chat. Are you willing?"

Xie Xuanan was a little surprised, but quickly replied: "Okay, no problem."

Seeing this, Su Yi said sensibly: "Then you guys chat, we'll leave first."

They both left.

Zhao Heng smiled and nodded at them, then walked towards the playground with Xie Xuan'an.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. Xie Xuan'an wondered, "Why did this guy come to me? He's so mysterious." He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked a little heavy.

When they arrived at the playground, Zhao Heng took a deep breath, rubbed his hands unconsciously, frowned, and said slowly: "Xie Xuan'an, I always felt that you had a lot of ideas, but you didn't show them often. This debate made me realize that we have the same views on many issues. I've been considering participating in a more advanced debate competition recently, but I'm particularly unsure, and I want to hear your thoughts." When he said this, Zhao Heng's eyes were full of anticipation, and a little uneasiness.

Xie Xuanan listened carefully, blinked, scratched his head, thought for a while and said: "This must be a rare opportunity! Although there may be many challenges, with your eloquence, Zhao Heng, you should be able to do it as long as you prepare well."

The anticipation in Zhao Heng's eyes became stronger. He leaned forward, looked at Xie Xuan'an closely, and said anxiously: "Then are you willing to help me prepare? I especially need a partner who can exchange ideas with me and inspire each other." At this time, Zhao Heng's face was full of sincerity and desire.

When Xie Xuanan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He showed an embarrassment on his face, frowned, rubbed one foot on the ground and said, "Oh, I'm not a law student. I don't know much professional knowledge. I'm afraid I'll hold you back."

Zhao Heng seemed to see his concerns, patted his shoulder, looked firm, and encouraged with a smile: "Don't worry, let's work hard together, maybe we can get exceptionally good results!" Zhao Heng thought to himself, he must make Xie Xuan'an dispel his concerns and believe that they can do it together.
