Chapter 16: Breaking off the relationship

It was a rare occasion that the protagonist's phone was handed to him, and He Rui felt it would be a waste if he didn't take a look at it.

He quickly glanced at the phone screen and saw the three words "Ji Xinghan" on the screen, and then a string of time numbers below were jumping from 00:02 to 00:03.

Apparently it's been connected.

He quickly pushed the phone towards the protagonist and said, "It's connected."

The BGM in He Rui's mind began to change.

Music is infectious and has the ability to express emotions and evoke feelings in others.

Listening to the background music, He Rui felt an indescribable sadness and sorrow.

I don't understand why the BGM suddenly plays such a sad song.

It sounded inexplicably miserable.

But he was used to the random songs playing in the background.

I decisively ignored the strange and sudden BGM and turned around to watch the protagonist making a phone call.

Since he had been found out, he simply stopped trying to hide it and just looked at the other person openly.

Even though the call was connected, the person on the other end was like a mute, sitting straight and tense, with his lips tightly pursed and the corners of his lips turned down. He just listened silently to the person on the other end of the phone calling "Brother" several times in a row. His whole aura became more and more unapproachable and cold.

He Rui looked at the other person's expressionless profile and suddenly understood.

He guessed that the background music he was hearing now might be describing the protagonist's mood at that moment.

After all, in this situation, no one else is sad and upset except the victim who called the murderer's brother.

I didn’t expect that BGM has this function, it can also convey other people’s moods.

He Rui looked at the protagonist quietly, guessing that perhaps under this guy's calm and cold expression, he might have already burst into tears in his heart.

Suddenly I feel that being a violent person is not easy either.

Every family has its own problems.

He Rui felt that he was not fit to listen any further.

After all, insisting on staying in the house when others are embarrassed goes against his principles.

I quietly stood up and prepared to leave, planning to go out and hide for a while to give this guy some private space.

As soon as he took a step towards the door, the door lock clicked and the door was opened from the outside.

He Rui saw a group of people rushing in from outside the door, including driver Chen and several familiar security guards from the rich second generation's home whom he had just met that morning.

But he didn't know many of the other people, but they were obviously also from the manor.

That group of people looked nervous and seemed to be very worried about the rich second generation.

Seeing that he looked obviously beaten up, one of the older men even blushed instantly. He clenched his fists in anxiety and locked his eyes on the protagonist behind him.

He Rui quickly gestured to drive them away, mouthing to them to get out, and at the same time signaled them to be quiet and not make too much noise.

This group of people were very obedient and all left when they were told to leave.

He Rui also walked out the door.

In the living room, on the other side of the protagonist's side, the murderer's younger brother was calling him brother in an increasingly impatient tone because of the protagonist's silence. His voice was so loud that He Rui could hear it clearly even when he was a few meters away.

I don’t know if the protagonist has a pair of iron ears and is not afraid of the ear pain caused by such a loud volume.

The protagonist was no longer silent and finally spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the words he said surprised He Rui so much that he stopped in his tracks and couldn't move anymore.

He turned around in surprise and looked at the person on the sofa.

I never expected that Ji Changqing would actually remind the enemy who killed me once to prepare for the coming apocalypse...

Basically, this man told the murderer in more detail and comprehensive manner what he had told him before about how to deal with the end of the world, including what supplies to buy, how to avoid natural disasters and other dangers, and where to go to avoid disasters.

It was countless times more detailed than what I had said to him.

He Rui felt that this didn't even feel like he was talking to an enemy.

Instead, it looks more like a pair of brothers who have a good relationship, with the elder brother giving detailed instructions to his younger brother.

He stared at the protagonist's cold face in confusion, unable to understand what was wrong with this guy.

Don’t you hate it?

As he continued listening, He Rui discovered that the protagonist was not completely ready to forget or forgive the fact that he was killed by the other party.

"You don't need to go to class anymore. Prepare what I told you right away. As for the money, I've already transferred half of my parents' inheritance to you.

You stay in Province S and try to survive.

.....

I won't look for you.

The brotherhood between you and me has ended.

From now on, we will sever all ties and never see each other again..."
