I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 287 Apologize!

"You...what did you say?"

Mai Yuran paused, as if she hadn't heard what Xu Ye had just said, and looked Xu Ye up and down.

"Mai Yuran, didn't you say you'd do anything if I forgave you?"

Although he is now in a wheelchair.

But... perhaps it's because of the chilling aura emanating from its body.

An aura of dominance suddenly emanated from Xu Ye.

"...That's what I said, but..."

"Then I'll say it: you should kneel down."

Xu Ye interrupted Mai Yuran directly.

"Kneel down and apologize to me."

She repeated herself, word by word.

"You... Xiaoye, don't make jokes like that right now..."

Mai Yuran's face was alternating between pale and flushed, with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

But there wasn't a trace of joking on Xu Ye's face.

She was simply as cold as ice.

She didn't respond to Mai Yuran's words.

He just stared at Mai Yuran coldly with a blank expression.

There was only silence in the room.

Lin Xing'an stood silently beside Xu Ye, holding Xu Ye's hand.

Zhang Guang's face showed a constant hint of surprise.

But they remained silent, showing no intention of intervening.

These two pairs of twins had no particular background.

Now even the identity of "Qian Qiongzhi's best friend" has immediately turned into "Qian Qiongzhi's enemy".

It goes without saying which of them or Lin Xing'an was more or less valuable to him.

and……

Xu Ye's domineering aura made Zhang Guang feel... a bit amused!
"Haha, Xiaoye, you know we only kneel before Mother and the angels..."

Mai Yuran licked her lips and smiled again.

But Xu Ye remained silent.

There was no one else around speaking.

The only sound was the rapid breathing of Mai Lingbu, whose mouth was sealed shut.

The entire room was filled with a silence that made her feel uneasy.

"...Xiaoye, we have truly realized the mistakes we made..."

"Leave some room for maneuver in other people's lives. We'll definitely become good friends in the future. You don't need to be so aggressive..."

"There's no need... to insult us like this..."

Mai Yuran rubbed her hands together and shivered.

The chill emanating from Xu Ye made the entire room feel like an ice cave without anyone noticing.

In her eyes, the deep blue pupils, like the sky frozen in ice, reflected Mai Yuran's pale face.

The silence continues.

A hint of anger also appeared on Mai Yuran's face.

But then immediately withdrew it.

She swallowed hard, lowered her head, and clenched and unclenched her fists, as if making some kind of decision.

Mai Lingbu, who was behind, seemed to realize something and suddenly grabbed Mai Yuran's hand.

She looked at Mai Yuran with fear and shock, and then glared at Xu Ye with resentment!

He made a move to pull Mai Yuran away!

"..."

Mai Yuran then pulled her arm out of Mai Lingbu's grasp.

"Snapped!"

Undeterred, Mai Lingbu grasped Mai Yuran's hand again.

"Get out! Don't touch me!"

A hint of anger flashed across Mai Yuran's face!
He abruptly shook off Mai Lingbu's hand.

Mai Lingbu was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he pointed to his own face!

I never expected that my sister would actually kneel down to Xu Ye, who had just slapped me twice!
He even got angry at her because of Xu Ye!

"..."

Her breathing became more rapid!

He pointed at Xu Ye, stared at Mai Yuran with wide eyes and a questioning look on his face!
Mai Yuran's expression darkened further.

But he ignored Malingbo.

He glanced at Xu Ye, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and was about to kneel down.

"Well!"

Seeing this, Mai Lingbu quickly pulled Mai Yuran up!
Then he pointed at Xu Ye again, even though his mouth was covered tightly by ice, he still looked resentful!

"Mailingbu!"

Already feeling frustrated, Mai Yuran was further thwarted by Mai Lingbu's repeated obstructions, which finally caused her to explode!
"Can't you stop being so willful?!"

She shoved Mai Lingbu, causing him to stumble!

"If it weren't for you! If you hadn't insisted on showing off for the sake of credit, and insisted on making sure your 'painted skin' was flawless, would Qian Qiongzhi have worn it?"

"If you hadn't insisted that you would find her in sixteen months and refused to let her take off Qian Qiongzhi's mask, would she still be influenced by that persona?"

"You clearly don't have the ability! But you insist it's no problem, no problem!"

"You could have given Qian Qiongzhi a makeover! You could have given her a couple of days to recover! But you were afraid something would happen! You just wouldn't do it!"

"It's all your fault! Everything is like this now! It's all your fault!"

Mai Yuran pointed at Mai Lingbu's nose and cursed loudly!

Mai Lingbu was initially stunned, his body visibly trembled, and his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment...

His eye sockets were also visibly red.

Two lines of tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks, and she felt as if she had shattered.

A flicker of heartache crossed Mai Yuran's eyes.

Lin Xing'an raised an eyebrow.

McLinbu's reaction was absolutely genuine.

She certainly didn't expect Mai Yuran to scold her so directly and push all the blame onto her.

But Mai Yuran...

They actually put on quite a convincing act...

This outburst was a clever little trick to soften Xu Ye's heart...

But they underestimated the damage they had inflicted on Xu Ye.

How could such a performance soften Xu Ye's heart?

As expected, seeing that Xu Ye remained silent and showed no reaction whatsoever, Mai Yuran's eyes revealed a hint of hatred!
Then stop struggling!

He knelt down in front of Xu Ye with his head bowed.

"Xiaoye, I'm sorry. What we sisters did to you before was wrong."

"We really realized our mistake."

"Please forgive us and give us another chance."

She looked at Xu Ye and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Xu Ye then looked at Mai Lingbu, who was still in a daze and crying aggrievedly behind her.

Feeling her gaze, Mai Lingbu immediately glared back!
Mai Yuran suddenly turned around!
"enough!"

"Your Majesty!"

She yelled at Malingbu!
Mai Lingbu's eyes reddened again, and he stubbornly shook his head.

"Stop being so willful!"

"You think Qian Qiongzhi is your backer, so you insist on sucking up to her! You'd be willing to be her dog!"

"Only if Xu Ye forgives us will we have a chance to live!"

"Kneel down! Apologize!"

Mai Yuran pointed to the seat next to her.

My fingertips trembled slightly.

But Mai Lingbo was still crying, panting, and shaking his head.

"Then get out! Get out of my way! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

"If you don't kneel down and Xu Ye doesn't forgive you, we'll sever all ties from this moment on!"

"Do whatever you want, I don't care!"

Mai Yuran snorted and roared.

The voice sounded cold and ruthless.

But she kept her head down to hide her slightly red eyes.

"..."

Her words struck Mai Lingbu like a thunderbolt once again!
She stared in disbelief at her sister kneeling on the ground, her whole body swaying unsteadily.

Tears kept flowing!
My chest heaved up and down as if I couldn't breathe and was about to suffocate!

After a long while, Mai Lingbu's shoulders slumped down.

"Pfft!"

She knelt down beside Mai Yuran like a puppet that had lost its support.

Xu Ye then withdrew the biting chill that had filled the room. The ice covering Mai Lingbu's mouth melted into water and was taken back by Lin Xing'an.

"...Xiaoye, I'm sorry, I was wrong before."

"Please forgive my sister and me, and give us a chance."

She opened her mouth.

That arrogant attitude from before was gone.

Xu Ye watched as the two men who had bullied, insulted, and trampled on her finally knelt before her, begging for her forgiveness, and felt no pleasure on her face.

There was only a brief moment of calm.

"Xiaoye, please... forgive us."

Mai Yuran spoke again.

Xu Ye finally nodded and broke the silence.

"I know that you still believe you are not wrong."

"I know you're not sincerely apologizing to me."

"I know you hate me in your hearts."

"I know you're not convinced."

She said calmly.

Mai Yuran's fist clenched tighter and tighter.

"But I forgive you."

Xu Ye paused for a moment before speaking.

Zhang Guang glanced at Xu Ye again.

"I forgive you, not because I forgive the harm you caused me."

"It's because you're not worth my hatred or fear right now."

"It's because I don't want Lin Xing'an to complete the mission alone; I want Lin Xing'an to be in danger."

"It's because even if I say I forgive you now, I can still take revenge on you at will, because I'm stronger than you now."

After Xu Ye finished speaking, he didn't look at the two of them again.

She took Lin Xing'an's hand.

Only Lin Xing'an could sense that even though Xu Ye's eyes were like ancient ice, he was still deeply moved.

But it was still trembling slightly.

Lin Xing'an then gripped her hand tightly.

In his eyes, there was approval and pride.

“Minister, since Xiaoye has said so, then as I told you before, I have no problem with it.”

“I am willing to serve as the leader of your special operations team.”

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath and nodded to Zhang Guang.

"Okay! An'an, then... let's meet at my house at 7 PM, okay?"

"can."

"Row."

Zhang Guang gestured for Mai Yuran and Mai Lingbu to get up.

Mai Yuran had no expression on her face at this moment.

Mai Lingbu looked like he had lost his soul, his eyes were empty.

"Xiaoye, you... are truly remarkable."

Before leaving, Zhang Guang gave Xu Ye a thumbs-up with bright eyes.

Xu Ye simply nodded.

"An'an, you always manage to surprise me!"

Zhang Guang was infected.

He then closed the door after being politely seen off by Xu Ye and Lin Xing'an.

The domineering aura and the sense of propriety that Xu Ye just displayed...

And those words made Zhang Guang feel as if he saw Xu Zhe's shadow!

Just a month ago, Xu Ye was a "good-for-nothing" who didn't dare to fight back when bullied.

This can truly be described as an earth-shattering change...

I really can't do without Lin Xing'an's companionship and guidance.

"Minister, you said that as long as we can get Xu Ye to forgive us, as long as we listen to you..."

"The credit for killing the Sixteenth will allow us to live."

With her eyes red and swollen, Mai Yuran spoke in a voice that sounded like she was crying blood.

"This credit is more than just enough to keep you alive."

"Its greatest significance to you is that it can help you get rid of Qian Qiongzhi."

"So that you don't need to depend on Qian Qiongzhi, and can stand upright in the committee and earn everyone's respect through your own efforts."

A smile appeared on Zhang Guang's lips.

Then the conversation changed.

"Of course, the premise is..."

"You all do your utmost to follow Lin Xing'an, find Sixteen Month, and kill her!"

His fist clenched tightly.

"...Why are you following Lin Xing'an? Minister, what makes you trust Lin Xing'an so much?"

Looking at Mai Lingbu, who seemed lost in thought, Mai Yuran finally couldn't help but ask.

She could never understand where Zhang Guang's confidence in Lin Xing'an came from!

"Because Lin Xing'an will definitely be able to find Sixteen Months."

"Why? By what right? Why?"

Mai Yuran pressed for an answer.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Guang gave her a deep look.

"There's no reason why, just consider it...superstition."

He paused for a moment, then said in a tone that was both serious and unserious.

"..."

Mai Yuran gritted her teeth and nodded.

"You two, talk it out and resolve your conflict."

After arriving home, Zhang Guang went into the study alone.

Mai Lingbu and Mai Yuran were left alone in the living room.

“…Xiao Bu”.

Looking at Mai Lingbu, Mai Yuran's face also showed a bitter expression.

She tried to grab Mai Lingbu's hand, but Mai Lingbu, with his vacant eyes, pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted the moment he was touched!

"Don't touch me! I don't have a sister like you!"

She glared at Mai Yuran and shouted.

Mai Yuran shook her head, as if she wanted to say something.

But Mailingbu didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

"My sister, she wouldn't force me to kneel before a good-for-nothing!"

"She won't push me away! She won't yell at me! She won't scold me!"

"She would never say anything like severing ties!"

"Because she...she knew..."

As Mai Lingbu spoke, tears streamed down her face again, one large drop at a time.

"She knows how deeply those words hurt me!"

"She knows... I can't live without her... Waaaaah..."

Mai Lingbu could no longer hold back and burst into tears!
"Xiao Bu, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
