Flip plip plip…
Ji Qingyan’s tears fell onto the paper.
The handwriting on it was crooked, and traces of blood could be seen on the
paper.
He had left it there when he wrote the letter.
However, Ji Qingyan was more concerned about the tone of the letter. It was completely different from Lin Yi’s usual self.
It was more like an extremely serious farewell.
At that time, he had already expected such an outcome. Otherwise, he would not have written such a letter and left behind such words.
“Senior Sister, don’t cry. The dead can’t be resurrected. This can’t be changed.”
Tao Cheng was upset, but he still walked over and said to Ji Qingyan,
“We’ll help you arrange the transfer of Lingyun Group. Sister, don’t worry.”
“I don’t want these things…”
Her eyes were lifeless as she shook her head.
“I just want to know what happened and why he came back like this after a
trip.”
“We are from a secret military unit belonging to Huaxia. Lin Yi is one of us. When he was on a business trip to Panem, he encountered an urgent mission. He and another team member died on the mission.”
“Secret military unit…”
“Yes,” Tao Cheng said.
“But he never told me that before.”
“The missions we carry out are all very dangerous. He was afraid that you would be worried, so he didn’t tell you. I hope you can understand.”
“Understood…”
Ji Qingyan looked at Tao Cheng, and the latter subconsciously took a step back.
He was afraid to look her in the eye.
It was pure fear.
“He’s dead! How do you expect me to understand?!”
Ji Qingyan suddenly raised her voice. Unable to control her emotions, she questioned loudly.
“Why did you let him go on that mission?! He’s just an ordinary person! You re too selfish!”
Ji Qingyan grabbed Tao Cheng’s collar and berated him loudly!
Tao Cheng did not move. He understood that the woman in front of him needed a way to vent.
If it would calm her down, it wouldn’t hurt to let her beat him up a little.
“We were negligent in this matter. It was our fault for not being able to provide support in time.”
“I don’t want you to say this!” Ji Qingyan roared. “Return Lin Yi to me! Return him to me!”
“I’m sorry…”
“You, what right do you have to make Lin Yi do such a thing?!”
Ji Qingyan was on the verge of breaking down. Even though a few hours had passed, she could not accept such a thing.
“Senior Sister, calm down.”
He Yuanyuan helped Ji Qingyan up. “This was his own choice. We can’t blame this man.”
Ji Qingyan grabbed the corner of He Yuanyuan’s shirt tightly. The person who had supported her and led a carefree life had completely disappeared.
Her mental world had long since shattered, like a child abandoned by the entire world.
He Yuanyuan held Ji Qingyan, not knowing what else to do, so she simply cried with her.
“Hurry, get her back to the ward.”
The on-duty doctor rushed over. “If she doesn’t stabilize, the mental stress
could cause irreversible damage.”
The doctor quickly administered a sedative to Ji Qingyan.
Soon, her emotions calmed, and she lay down, falling into a deep sleep.
Those in the room couldn’t bear to see her like this, especially Xiao Bing.
She had met Ji Qingyan before and knew what she used to be like.
A woman who embodied beauty and elegance, but now all those nearly perfect qualities had disappeared.
She even looked somewhat disheveled.
The deeper the love, the more devastating the collapse.
In a ward at the end of the hallway, Qiao Xin stood by the window, listening to
the cries from afar, silently wiping away her tears.
The sounds from the ward twisted her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Part of it was because of Lin Yi.
For a long time, he had been taking care of her like a big brother. If not for him, she would not have stayed in Huashan Hospital.
And now, he had actually left in such a manner.
She could not accept such a thing for some time.
Another part of her heart ached for Li Chuhan.
Her heart was bitter, but she did not even have the right to cry for him. She
could only hide in the ward and quietly wipe her tears.
No one knew about Li Chuhan’s suffering.
Lin Yi was her only spiritual pillar and her only family in this world.
Now that Lin Yi was gone, Li Chuhan’s world was shattered.
No one could replace Lin Yi in her heart.
She sat silently on the hospital bed, not moving or saying a word. No one knew what she was thinking, as if she had become one with the dark room.
It was as if nothing the world had anything to do with her.
Lin Yi’s ward was extremely quiet.
The people inside seemed to have lost their direction in life at this moment.
They did not know what to do next.
“Let’s all go out. Don’t stay here.” Tao Cheng said.
“At this point, there’s no point in standing guard here.”
After a few seconds of silence, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che walked out one after another, followed by Qin Han and the others.
But Liang Ruoxu didn’t leave. She stayed by Lin Yi’s bedside, staring at him without moving.
She acted like he was still there, her eyes filled with tenderness.
“You really are something else, even in death you won’t let people have peace.”
Liang Ruoxu said softly, gently stroking Lin Yi’s hand, her eyes carrying the innocence of a little girl.
“When you used to see me, you couldn’t stop talking. Why are you so quiet now? If you have the guts, sit up and tell me what you want to do. I’ll agree to anything you say. This is your only chance. If you miss it, there won’t be another.”
“The most annoying thing about you is how you flirt and then leave. Now that I’m giving you a chance, there’s still no reaction. Not manly at all, hmph.” Lightly, Liang Ruoxu caressed Lin Yi’s hand, tilting her head back to keep the tears from falling.
“I’ve decided. Once everything is settled tomorrow, I’m going to resign. I 11 travel the world, explore different places. As for your ashes, I’ll take a bit with me. If anyone objects, I’ll just take them secretly. One way or another, I’ll have some.”
“But don’t worry. No matter what, you are still the president of Lingyun Group. I’ll make sure your send-off is grand. And given your wandering eye, I’ll burn extra paper figurines for you, so you can have company…”
Mid-sentence, Liang Ruoxu’s carefully restrained emotions snapped like a broken string, and she could no longer hold back.
“Leaving like this, I truly feel so much regret.” Liang Ruoxu sighed.
“You always said I wasn’t gentle. I was thinking of changing that, to make myself seem more womanly. But now that you’re like this, even if I become gentle, you won’t see it.”
Liang Ruoxu wiped away her tears and whispered into Lin Yi’s ear.
Perhaps this was the last bit of gentleness she left for Lin Yi.
