There was no one around at the time, and the river was not rushing, but it was deep and the banks were steep. After falling into the water, Mao Qinglan struggled several times but was unable to climb back up.

The video surveillance clearly shows that the old lady seems to have poor eyesight; she couldn't see the obstacles in front of her and only realized it after bumping into them multiple times.

Looking at the last video footage of his mother-in-law, Li Nan was so heartbroken that he felt nothing.

What other misfortunes are there in life?

In just two or three days, my mother-in-law was lying in the cold morgue.

His wife was lying alone in a hospital bed, and their unborn child lay inside her soulless body, their fate unknown.

Li Nan's heart had fallen into an endless abyss of ice.

Now, all that sustains him is his deep-seated obsession with the Blood Rose.

Blood Rose, all of this was caused by Blood Rose!

Without the Blood Rose, he was about to become an ordinary father!

Blood Rose!

I want you dead!

After tidying up Qin Wen's makeup on the hospital bed, Li Nan turned and left the ward to return to work at the Anding Division.

As he walked away, he didn't notice the glistening tears welling up in Qin Wen's eyes.

These are the tears of angels.

The funeral was kept simple. Mao Qinglan drowned on the 13th and was cremated on the 15th and laid to rest.

The weather was gloomy that day, just like Li Nan's mood, who was dressed in black.

Offering a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to his mother-in-law, Li Nan whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry. I failed to protect Qin Wen, our unborn child, and you!"

"If you know this from beyond the grave, please watch as I personally seize Blood Rose one day! Blood debts must be repaid in blood!"

After the funeral, Li Nan was noticeably thinner, and Xiong Sifu originally planned to have him take care of himself for a while and recover properly.

But how could Li Nan, whose heart was filled with endless obsession, possibly agree?

"Don't worry, Master, I will take good care of myself. As for Blood Rose, I will definitely bring her to justice!"

Xiong Sifu sighed and nodded helplessly.

Li Nan is just a mortal, an ordinary man. Of course, he knows that his current state is not right and that he needs to relax and adjust his mindset.

There are many ways for men to adjust their mindset, the simplest of which is...

"Brother Gao, let me keep you company tonight, let's have a drink!"

Since Qin Wen's accident, Gao Zimin and her brother have been taking turns caring for her during the day.

In the evening, Gao Zimin and her brother returned to Lakeside Moonlight, and Li Nan took over the night shift.

After the funeral arrangements were completed today, Li Nan hired a caregiver at the hospital to take care of Qin Wen, who was in the hospital bed.

That evening, Gao Zimin was still a little worried, so she decided to spend more time with her best friend and give Li Nan, who needed to vent, some space.

After tonight, Gao Zimin should go back to the orange orchard to take a look. She left in a hurry a few days ago, and now it's the busy farming season.

The friendship between best friends is important, but the business that provides for our livelihood cannot be abandoned. Besides, Qin Wen's condition has basically stabilized now; it's just a matter of when she will wake up, or whether she will be able to wake up at all.

The funeral arrangements for Mao Qinglan have been mostly completed; it's time to go back and take care of things at the orange grove.

Gao Zimin is going back tomorrow, and she'll take Gao Siming with her. Orange Garden is relatively safe, and it's always best to have family by your side!

Li Nan doesn't need any fancy food tonight, just plenty of alcohol.

Gao Siming had prepared a lot of snacks to go with the drinks in advance and was quietly waiting for Li Nan at home.

While cooking, Dog Egg and the pre-arranged Blood Rose substitute had finished communicating. Tomorrow would be the day of the end!

Later at the dinner table, Gao Siming would deliberately bring up this matter with Li Nan.

Blood Rose is Li Nan's only inner demon right now, and he will definitely agree!

In fact, in Gou Dan's eyes, whether Li Nan agrees or not is completely irrelevant.

I've been using my eyes too much lately, and my right eye is now clearly showing signs of illness.

Because the vision in both eyes is significantly different, the long-lost feeling of double vision returned.

Fortunately, we had plenty of experience when DSTH was seriously ill many years ago.

Now that double vision has returned, Gao Siming will get used to it after a couple of days of adjustment.

"Dog Egg, after tomorrow's event, don't use the Eye of Deception so easily anymore. I feel like my eyes are really going to go blind!"

"Brother, I know that too, but after things are over tomorrow, there's still Secretary Zhou's matter to attend to!"

"Sigh, who knew he really had mind-reading abilities and was immune to control? In order to kill Li Zhipeng, we can't avoid him no matter what. The debts we owe always have to be repaid!"

"Brother, don't worry, after dealing with these matters, Gou Dan will stop and never need these eyes again!"

Gao Siming was brainstorming when he could vaguely see through the window that familiar green figure opening the door and walking into the courtyard.

"Alright, let's begin the real Last Supper!"

"Brother Gao, I'm here! Is there enough alcohol tonight?"

Gao Siming opened the door to greet him, and seeing the two large bottles of Wusu beer that Li Nan was carrying, he said, "You're really worried I won't have enough wine, you even brought your own!"

It's already mid-November, and the nights in Tanhua City are quite cold.

Tonight's dinner party was not held in the courtyard, but at a large square table in the dining room.

On the day the Meiluo Academy task force was established, Li Nan had lunch with Gao Siming at this very table.

They discussed Prince He's death and talked about Meiluo Academy.

Time has passed, things remain the same, but it's still the same two people, the same table, and tonight's dinner has a completely different flavor.

The two sat down facing each other, but didn't talk about anything; they just kept drinking and eating.

As she ate and drank, Li Nan became more talkative, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
