Chapter 387 Experts from Beijing Visit "Don't be afraid, little girl." The voice outside the door was still gentle, even with a hint of grievance, "I really didn't mean any harm. I just... wanted to apologize to you."

Apologize?

Wang Xiaoya was stunned.

She wondered if she had misheard. Bai Wei would apologize to her?

"What happened in the quagmire was my fault." Bai Wei's voice sounded full of sincere remorse. "I shouldn't have been so impulsive, and I shouldn't have misunderstood Comrade Su An's good intentions. I've thought about it a lot these past two days. I was too narrow-minded and jealous of Comrade Su An's excellence, so I targeted her in every way. I... I really know I was wrong."

If these words had been spoken during the day, Wang Xiaoya wouldn't have believed a single one.

But on this eerie night, the words spoken by the woman who had just filled her with terror produced a strange chemical reaction.

Did she... really admit her mistake?

Wang Xiaoya's guard involuntarily relaxed a little.

"I know you all hate me to death." Bai Wei's voice was trembling with tears, sounding extremely pitiful. "I deserve it. I was punished and ridiculed by the whole camp. It's all my own fault. But Xiao Ya, I really... I really don't want to go on like this anymore."

She began banging on the door panel, as if in a helpless plea.

"Little girl, I know you're the kindest. You and Sister Su An are such good friends, could you please put in a good word for me with her? I promise, I'll never go against her again, I'll do anything for her. Please..."

The door was pounded on loudly, accompanied by Bai Wei's suppressed sobs, which made Wang Xiaoya's heart race.

Her mind was a complete mess.

Bai Wei might really be...maybe she's genuinely afraid of Su An? Does she really know she was wrong?

Yes, she was dealt with so badly by Sister Su An, losing face in front of the entire camp. She was scared and wanted to make peace, so... that's understandable.

Wang Xiaoya's kindness led her to instinctively begin to look for reasonable explanations for the other party.

She bit her lip and hesitated before asking, "You...you really know you were wrong?"

"I really understand!" Bai Wei answered immediately from outside the door, her tone urgent and sincere. "If I weren't truly repentant, why would I come to you in the middle of the night? I'm just afraid that Sister Su An won't forgive me in front of everyone during the day, so I wanted to ask you to help me turn things around."

This explanation sounds flawless.

Wang Xiaoya completely let her guard down.

She even began to wonder if she had been too petty in being so wary of Bai Wei. After all, Bai Wei had already humbled herself and begged for mercy.

“Then…then open the door first,” Wang Xiaoya said.

“Okay, okay,” Bai Wei replied immediately.

The door lock clicked open.

Bai Wei pushed open the door and stood in the doorway.

Her eyes were red, and there were still tear stains on her face. In the dim light of the washroom, she looked particularly haggard and helpless, a far cry from the gloomy look she had during the day.

Looking at her, Wang Xiaoya completely believed that she was truly remorseful.

"Comrade Bai Wei, you..."

"Little girl!"

Just as Wang Xiaoya was about to speak, her wrist was suddenly tightened, and an irresistible force came through!

Bai Wei's tear stains were still wet, but her eyes had completely changed.

That's not remorse, it's the excitement of a predator eyeing its prey.

"Ah!" Wang Xiaoya screamed in fright. Just as she was about to break free, Bai Wei had already pulled her into the washroom and slammed her knee against the door, then threw her into the innermost corner.
