Either she betrays Su Anjie and shifts all the blame onto her.
Or...
“Think about it,” Bai Wei continued, whispering venomous words in her ear, “Who is Su An? Her origins are unknown, her background is mysterious, her marksmanship is superb, even someone as proud as Gao Kai is completely subservient to her. Do you think she’s just a simple orphan girl from the countryside? Her problems are probably much more complicated and serious than you imagine!”
"You're just a pawn she used, a nobody she dragged down! She gave you a piece of chocolate and bought you off, making you take the blame for her!" Bai Wei's voice was full of inflammatory rhetoric. "By exposing her now, you're doing a good deed, you're redeeming yourself! The organization will treat you leniently! Then, you'll still be the innocent Wang Xiaoya, and your family won't be affected in any way!"
Every word Bai Wei uttered was like a hammer, striking Wang Xiaoya's heart heavily.
Exposing Sister Su An?
The only one who chose Su An as her teammate when everyone else was laughing at her?
The one who stood up for her when Qiao Lin bullied her?
The one who shared her dark-colored steamed bun with her when she was starving?
The one who hugged her and gently said, "You've lost weight," after she came out of solitary confinement?
No!
Almost instantly, Su Tang's clear and determined eyes appeared in Wang Xiaoya's mind.
She can't do it! She would rather die than do it!
"No! I won't betray Sister Su An!" Wang Xiaoya screamed, violently shaking off Bai Wei's hand and shouting with all her might, "Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than betray her!"
This reaction was entirely within Bai Wei's expectations.
If Wang Xiaoya agreed immediately, she would be harder to control. It was precisely this foolish "loyalty" that was the key to her next plan.
She even gave a slight approving smile.
"I knew it. You're a loyal and good girl." Bai Wei wasn't angry at all. Instead, she said with a tone of relief that said, "I knew you would do this. You would rather bear the stain yourself and ruin your life than betray your friends. Xiao Ya, I really admire you."
This sudden praise left Wang Xiaoya stunned. She didn't understand what Bai Wei was up to.
“But,” Bai Wei’s tone shifted, her voice filled with heartache and regret, “have you ever thought about whether your way of ‘protecting’ her is really good for her?”
"What...what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you are now the biggest suspect in Su An's case! A living, breathing suspect!" Bai Wei's tone suddenly turned stern. "As long as you're alive, as long as you're in Battalion Three, the organization's investigation into her will not stop! They will keep interrogating you, keep trying to get information out of you! Have you had enough of what it's like in solitary confinement? How long do you think you can last? Once? Twice? Can you guarantee you'll never let anything slip?"
Wang Xiaoya's face paled even more.
She cannot guarantee that.
In that dark, gloomy little room, Instructor Zhang interrogated her again and again, and the mental pressure almost drove her to the brink of collapse.
Several times, she almost managed to get Su An's name out of Instructor Zhang through roundabout interrogation.
