Chapter 229 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Chapter 17

Su Mi walked over and stood beside him, and couldn't help but sigh, "Qianqian is in a very bad condition."

Xiao Xuanjin raised his hand and gently held her shoulders without saying anything.

Su Mi still felt a little scared, "Fortunately, we didn't tell her why Wu Cheng died. If she knew, I'm afraid..."

Qianqian was already like this if she didn't tell him. If she told him, she would only feel worse and might never get over Wu Cheng's death.

Xiao Xuanjin thought of the scene at that time, his dark eyes drooping with a long gray gleam, "This is also what Wu Cheng meant. He didn't want her to live in debt all her life."

Even until his death, Wu Cheng still didn't want to burden her.

The more Su Mi thought about it, the more upset he felt. "I really can't believe this is true. You said he was a good person..."

The same went for Xiao Xuanjin. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

He recalled the situation at that time.

…

A week ago, Xiao Xuanjin received news that Wu Cheng was in trouble. For some unknown reason, he had come into conflict with the Dark Society and his whereabouts were unknown.

He led a group of elite troops directly to the lair of the Dark Society, rushed in and cleaned it out thoroughly.

After searching everywhere, they finally found Wu Cheng in the cellar.

At that time, he looked like he was pulled out of a pool of blood, with knife wounds, burns, and gunshot wounds all over his body. It was impossible to tell how many injuries he had. His wolf-like appearance made it almost unrecognizable.

Xiao Xuanjin hurriedly brought the man out. At that time, he was already dying, with only a thread of breath left, and it seemed that he was about to collapse.

On the way to the hospital, Wu Cheng still retained the last bit of energy and reluctantly spoke to him, "Brother Xiao...you are here."

Xiao Xuanjin supported him and looked at the injuries on his body. He spoke in a flustered tone instead of his usual calmness. "I'm here. Don't worry. You'll be fine. Hang in there."

Although he said so, he could clearly feel that the life of the person in front of him was quietly slipping away, and his breath was getting weaker and weaker.

Wu Cheng pulled himself together and spoke to him, "Brother Xiao... I don't have much time left, please... do me a favor."

Xiao Xuanjin didn't say anything, but clenched his teeth tightly, and his eye circles were filled with red and stinging pain.

All I could hear was Wu Cheng's weak voice, "Here's the list for you. I found the employer who wanted to hurt her..."

Wu Cheng opened his palm, and Xiao Xuanjin could see clearly that the only part of his palm that was not stained with blood was holding a piece of paper.

I took it and unfolded it, and saw that among the densely packed names there were a few circled.

Wu Cheng coughed, and blood kept coming out of his lips, but he was unaware of it, and was still explaining what he had not had time to do, "Don't let them go. Without the Dark Society, they will find other forces... to bully her. Brother Xiao, please."

Xiao Xuanjin stared at the bright red blood, his eyes becoming heavier and heavier. He could only watch helplessly as he saw his friend's life slip away.

Enduring the pain in his throat, he now understood why Wu Cheng went to so much trouble to infiltrate the Dark Society just for this list, for a woman.

Thinking of this, he said in a suppressed voice, "Protect your people yourself, stay alive for me, do you hear me!!"

Wu Cheng might have spoken in a hurry, and blood flowed from the corner of his lips again, "I want to...but...I can't go back..."

"... As for Qianqian, don't tell her about this... lest she feel guilty and be hard on herself."

After saying this, his eyes became dazed and he lost some of his spirit, as if his soul was about to be sucked away in the next moment.

Xiao Xuanjin shouted at him, eager to catch his consciousness, "Wu Cheng, don't sleep! Think about it, she is still waiting for you in the country."

Wu Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and a sad smile appeared on his face, "Brother Xiao... tell her... I broke my promise. I didn't do what I promised her..."

After saying this, the spirit in his eyes was dissipating and wandering, his eyes were empty, looking at the direction of the void, "Fortunately... she never liked me, and it was always me who pestered her, so she shouldn't be sad for too long."

Xiao Xuanjin held his hand and felt his body temperature slipping away.

Finally, a faint and faint voice came out of his mouth, "Brother Xiao... take care..."

…

His thoughts returned to his mind, Xiao Xuanjin closed his eyes, raised his hands and pinched his eyebrows, without saying a word.

Su Mi knew that he was upset, "What about Wu Cheng's family?"

"He comes from a single-parent family and grew up with his mother. His aunt passed away due to illness a few years ago."

So he has been alone for the past few years.

Then I'm afraid that in the end, the only person he can't let go of is Qianqian.

"Wait until Qianqian wakes up, and I'll comfort her."

"Um."

At night, Liao Qian finally woke up.

Su Mi brought some porridge and food over, "Qianqian, eat something."

Since waking up, Liao Qian has been curled up in bed, hugging her knees and being silent.

"I'm not hungry."

Knowing that she would be like this, Su Mi put down the plate and sat down beside the bed. "If you want to cry, just cry. Maybe crying will make you feel better."

Liao Qian didn't cry either. She lowered her head and looked extremely depressed.

"Where is his body?"

Su Mi was stunned for a moment, "It has been brought back and is being prepared for cremation and burial."

"I want to take one last look at him."

It’s not that I don’t want her to watch it, I’m just afraid that she will be even more unable to get over it after watching it.

But given the current situation, I'm afraid we can't stop it.

"Okay." Su Mi agreed.

"But you have to eat, or you won't have the strength to walk to the funeral home."

This time Liao Qian finally listened.

It’s just that he eats in a hurry. It doesn’t seem like he is eating, but more like he is forcing the food into his mouth.

Su Mi couldn't bear to see her like this, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Liao Qian cried while eating. Finally, as if she couldn't hold it back any longer, she asked in a sobbing voice, "Is he really not coming back?"

Knowing that she would find it hard to accept, Su Mi patiently asked, "Do you have anything to say to him?"

Liao Qian nodded, her voice filled with tears, "Mi'er, I really regret why I didn't stay that day. I didn't know that was the last time we would see each other... If I had known when he said those words to me, I would definitely tell him that I...liked him too, and had liked him for a very long time."

"Why does God want to play such a joke on us, why..."

At this point, she was already sobbing.

Su Mi held her in his arms and could feel her body shaking. She was sobbing and her words were barely coherent. "I... regret it so much... If... I had found out... earlier... would... we... be different? He... obviously... showed it."

"I...shouldn't...let him stay...why...didn't I take him away that day..."

Su Mi didn't expect Qianqian to fall so deeply.

In the end, she fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

After turning off the lights, Su Mi left the room.

He Fei and Fang Yutong also came at this time and were talking to Xiao Xuanjin in the study. Su Mi didn't need to go over because he knew that the atmosphere inside must be extremely depressing.
