I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 227 I care, she is very important to me
"Xu Zhe is here."

Zhang Guang put his hands behind his back and raised his chin.

Following his gaze, through the window, Lin Xing'an also saw Xu Zhe who had just crossed the artificial lake and was almost running towards here.

Keke followed behind.

"Minister, how about... making the room a little messy? Make it look like we just had a big argument?"

"No, just shout a few words later and that will be enough."

Zhang Guang pulled Lin Xing'an's hand and patted it twice.

"An An, it's really great to find you..."

"You and your mother are truly the two most important people in my life."

"Don't worry, kid. Your goal is also my goal. When you succeed in the future..."

There was a hint of passion in Zhang Guang's eyes!
Through his ability, Lin Xing'an could also clearly feel Zhang Guang's excitement at the moment.

No matter what, he was 100% convinced that Zhang Guang really wanted to reform and really wanted to make the committee better.

Without such firm belief, Lin Xing'an would not have been able to use Zhang Guang... so smoothly.

"Minister, grandma's side..."

"Sister Jiang will definitely stand on our side. I will tell her all your plans."

"it is good."

Lin Xing'an nodded.

"Then what I need to think about now is how to get votes and officially become a candidate committee member. Then, Minister, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Guang turned around.

Then he winked at Lin Xing'an and slammed the windowsill with a bang!
The marble balcony cracked like potato chips!

"Bastard!"

Zhang Guang almost roared as he said this, and the ghost realm was released with a bang!

The sound was so loud that the window glass shook.

"Lin Xing'an! Do you know that you represent the entire Siege Division today?! Do you know that you are Jiang Rong's junior?!"

"What were you doing this morning?! You're bringing shame to our entire Siege Division!"

"You are embarrassing Commissioner Jiang!"

Zhang Guangsheng was like a loud bell, with saliva flying everywhere!
His face turned red almost instantly.

"I……"

Even though Zhang Guang had already given him a hint with his eyes.

But Lin Xing'an had to take a while before he could get into the role.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Lin Xing'an, you still don't know what you did wrong?!"

"I did what I should have done! What Qian Qiongzhi did to Xu Ye was pure bullying!"

"Bullshit! Are you still being stubborn?!"

Zhang Guang slammed the windowsill again!
"Shh!"

Outside the door, in Zhang Guang's ghost realm, Xu Zhe listened to the fierce quarrel inside and his expression changed.

Then he raised his hand, but instead of knocking on the door, he and Keke stopped outside the door.

Zhang Guang released the ghost domain after entering Lin Xing'an's room.

There is a nameless fire in his ghost realm, which will burn everything, including sound, under Zhang Guang's control.

So even with seven eavesdropping devices, Xu Zhe had no idea how Zhang Guang and Lin Xing'an started arguing.

Only after entering the ghost realm did I hear the sound.

"So intense..."

Xu Zhe closed his eyes and kept rubbing the ring on his finger.

His ears also perked up, and he could hear the sounds inside clearly.

Including the emotions conveyed in the quarrel.

Zhang Guang was extremely furious.

Lin Xing'an is relatively weak and even feels a little guilty.

"Director, we..."

Outside the door, Keke was rubbing the corner of his clothes.

His face turned pale with worry.

It was really the first time she saw Zhang Guang so angry, as if he had completely lost his mind.

"Listen again."

Xu Zhe signaled Keke not to be anxious.

From the content of the quarrel, Xu Zhe probably had already heard the core of the quarrel.

Lin Xing'an believed that there was nothing wrong with his action to protect Xu Ye.

Zhang Guang's anger mainly stemmed from his disappointment with Lin Xing'an.

He was disappointed because he thought that no matter what Lin Xing'an thought, even if he thought he had done nothing wrong, he should not show his true thoughts in front of everyone like this.

"no problem……"

Judging from the content and sound of the quarrel alone, there was absolutely no problem with it.

Zhang Guang should be angry indeed.

But Lin Xingan...

The ring on Xu Zhe's finger made a clicking sound.

The emotion conveyed in Lin Xingan's voice...why does he seem so guilty?
But this guilty conscience doesn't seem like regretting helping Xu Ye...

"His purpose in helping Xu Ye..."

"Is it because of my investigation? Or is there some other deeper... purpose?"

Xu Zhe closed his eyes and breathed rapidly.

First of all, he was sure that Lin Xing'an definitely did not help Xu Ye because he felt sorry for him or because Xu Ye was bullied.

Lin Xing'an definitely has a deeper purpose.

"Suppose..."

"Suppose Lin Xing'an is an undercover agent, suppose Lin Xing'an is from the human and animal side, suppose Lin Xing'an is problematic..."

"Then he must have done this to achieve the interests of humans and animals..."

Xu Zhe kept organizing his thoughts.

Even on the way here, or since Lin Xingan took Xu Ye away, he had been thinking about it.

but……

Xu Zhe's ears kept trembling.

He felt that he was about to think of it, and he was about to think of it...

"Original aspiration? Lin Xing'an, are you talking to me about original aspiration? Talking about ideals? Without me, you'd be dead!"

"Lin Xing'an, Xu Ye, forget it, Xu Ye is not important. No matter what, you must come with me to apologize to Qian Qiongzhi tomorrow!"

"Did you understand?!"

Inside the house, Zhang Guang's voice broke.

This is simply shouted out in anger!
Even outside, Keke felt his eardrums hurt!
"impossible."

But then, Lin Xing'an's voice was heard.

Although the volume was obviously lower than Zhang Guang's, the firmness in his voice was no weaker at all!
"This is an order!"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"you……"

Zhang Guang seemed to be angry, and even the ghost realm was shaken.

"Minister, you have changed. You clearly wanted to reform the committee before."

"Good-for-nothing gluttons like Qian Qiongzhi are the first to be reformed!"

"Xu Ye is just the embodiment of countless ordinary gluttons. Could it be..."

"Shut up!"

Another series of sounds of things falling were heard.

"I've changed... Hehe, Lin Xing'an, what have I changed?"

"Do you know me well enough to say I've changed?"

"The reform...committee system has been passed down through generations, and only by being in it can you appreciate its subtleties."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then the quarrel between the two could be heard again.

reform……

The Committee...

Candidate members...

Xu Zhe, who was outside, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the key words of the quarrel!
It was as if he was suddenly electrified, and every hair on his body stood up!
"So that's it..."

"For those who understand the rules of the chicken coop, the most important thing at this stage is to determine the identity of the sacrificer..."

"And if you want to know the identity of the sacrificer, you must become a candidate committee member..."

"Lin Xing'an's goal is to become a candidate committee member!"

Xu Zhe's expression suddenly became ferocious!
But then he quickly calmed down.

Assuming that Lin Xing'an's goal is to become a candidate committee member and learn the identity of the sacrificer...

So is there any connection between what he did in the banquet hall that morning and this goal?

"Lin Xing'an! Take care of yourself!"

But before Xu Zhe could think about it carefully, the door of the house was slammed open!

"Humph!"

Zhang Guang, already furious, snorted coldly at the two people outside and walked away. "Minister!"

Even though Zhang Guang was so angry, Xu Zhe still followed him.

"Minister, Lin Xing'an definitely had other motives for protecting Xu Ye this morning."

"He's running for candidate committee member."

Zhang Guang, who was originally angry and had no intention of talking to Xu Zhe, suddenly stopped after hearing this.

My heart skipped a beat and a wave of doubt came over me.

Xu Zhe...did he guess what Lin Xing'an and I were planning?

If Xu Zhe could guess it, then the committee members could guess it even better, without even having to doubt it.

impossible……

Our acting skills just now should have been impeccable...

Even Zhang Guang was really into the situation, and his heart was pounding.

"What do you mean?"

He stared at Xu Zhe and asked.

"Minister, there is definitely something wrong with Lin Xing'an."

"He protected Xu Ye, essentially intending to use 'Xu Ye' as a hostage to stop my investigation."

"That in itself is very telling. If he's innocent, why would he be afraid?"

"and……"

Before Xu Zhe finished speaking, Zhang Guang waved his hand impatiently.

"Xu Zhe, you just said that Lin Xing'an's action this morning was to run for candidate committee member. What did you mean?"

he asked with a frown.

Xu Zhe paused.

"Minister, I have always suspected that Lin Xing'an is an undercover agent for the human and animal side."

"The main goal of humans and animals now is to know the identity of the sacrificer."

"So if Lin Xing'an..."

Listening to Xu Zhe's words, Zhang Guang felt speechless.

Xu Zhe's starting point was wrong, he still doubted Lin Xing'an.

So he still patted Xu Zhe's shoulder without waiting for Xu Zhe to finish speaking.

"Xu Zhe, stop checking."

Zhang Guang looked at Xu Zhe deeply.

Seeing this, Xu Zhe didn't say anything more and just nodded.

On the other side, Ke Ke looked at the house which had become a mess again, and Lin Xing'an standing by the window, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Originally, she was planning to confess her feelings today.

But I didn't expect this to happen...

The thought of Lin Xing'an holding Xu Ye and saying that in front of everyone in the center of the banquet hall...

Keke gritted his teeth, raised his hand to his heart, and a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yes, helping Xu Ye does seem like something Lin Xing'an would do.

But Lin Xing'an, he shouldn't really like Xu Ye, right?

Probably not...

"Senior, I'm sorry for the mess. Please come in."

Seeing Ke Ke standing at the door, it was Lin Xing'an who spoke first.

He picked up the broken lamp on the floor and nodded to Keke.

"...Junior, Xu Ye..."

"She's in the bathroom, she's already asleep."

Lin Xing'an said calmly as he swept the floor.

"Junior, do you really like Xu Ye?"

"Or... do you just want to help her?"

"If you just want to help, you don't have to become a couple. After all, this is related to the future."

Ke Ke walked to Lin Xing'an and naturally took the broom in Lin Xing'an's hand.

He said as he helped clean.

But Lin Xing'an fell silent.

"Senior, I'm sorry, no matter if I'm sincere to Xiaoye or not, we don't have a chance."

He took a deep breath and spoke directly.

Keke's body paused for a moment, and then the expression on his face froze.

"I...my junior...actually..."

Lin Xing'an's direct words made Ke Ke a little incoherent for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

"Senior, I actually have a crush on you. Thank you for taking care of me in the safe house."

"But I'm sorry, we are not the same kind of people after all. I can understand you, and maybe you can understand me, but understanding is not a match after all."

"We won't be happy if we stay together."

Lin Xing'an spoke again and said frankly.

"...How could that be? We clearly..."

Keke suppressed the heartache and gave a questioning smile.

"Senior, why don't you help Xu Ye?"

"Why didn't you put a stop to it in that situation?"

Lin Xing'an looked into Keke's eyes and asked.

Keke opened his mouth, a look of confusion on his face.

Because of her relationship with Xu Zhe, she knows Xu Ye's situation better than anyone else, and knows what Xu Ye goes through every day.

So in the banquet hall, when Qian Qiongzhi humiliated Xu Ye and took pleasure in taking advantage of him, Ke Ke might have had the urge to stop her.

but……

That's Xu Ye...

Even Xu Zhe doesn't care about her, no one cares about her.

Moreover, Xu Ye seemed to have been suffering from that kind of humiliation ever since his legs were crippled.

So I'll be humiliated by Qian Qiongzhi and the others again today...

It doesn’t seem too excessive.

After all, this is Xu Ye. She has already endured so much. What does it matter if she endures a little more?

Because she is Xu Ye, she can bear it.

"..."

There was a hint of surprise on Keke's face.

After thinking about this matter seriously, she suddenly realized that this is what I was thinking...

"Look, Senior, I understand your behavior as a bystander, and you understand mine."

“But our philosophies are ultimately different.”

"And you were the first one to know what I was like. You saw my paper when we first met in the library."

"Senior, we will make good colleagues."

Lin Xing'an stretched out his hand.

“…I understand. I understand.”

Koko closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

From the beginning to the end, what attracted her to Lin Xing'an was perhaps his unique ideas.

She didn't have the courage to help Xu Ye, but Lin Xing'an did.

She didn't have the courage to disobey Xu Zhe and Zhang Guang, but Lin Xing'an did.

It turns out that Lin Xing'an is the me of my dreams...

I am not worthy of my fellow student...

Koko opened his eyes.

There was a hint of relief on his face.

"Thank you, junior."

She held Lin Xing'an's hand.

Lin Xing'an didn't say anything else, just smiled and looked out the door.

Xu Zhe was standing outside.

"Lin Xing'an, are you sure you want to keep that loser?"

"Admit it, you don't care about this loser's life or death at all."

Xu Zhe didn't go into the house, but just stood outside the door and spoke.

"I care. She's important to me."

"Director, from now on Xiaoye is no longer the waste you call her."

"She has nothing to do with you anymore. She is no longer a stain on your life. You don't need to run away from her anymore."

Lin Xing'an walked to the door and said, "She is Xu Ye. I will not let her get hurt again."

He met Xu Zhe's gaze and spoke without backing down.

Inside the room, Xu Ye, who had woken up at some point, rested his chin on the edge of the bathtub, listening to Lin Xing'an's words with red eyes.
