Ignoring Wang Youcai's sorrow, Ji Hao continued, "Remember the company shares you gave me? I exchanged them for cash. Now I not only have Sister Meiqiong, but your fortune is also mine, and you, Wang Youcai, have become a complete clown!"
Wang Youcai trembled with rage, tears streaming down his face. If he could stand up, he would risk his life to kill Ji Hao.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Ji Hao said, "The poison I gave you will take full effect in 10 minutes, which means you have 10 minutes to live. Cherish your last moments."
At this moment, Wang Youcai felt utterly hopeless.
Waaah.
Tears blurred Wang Youcai's vision and slid down his cheeks. He trembled all over and tried to get up, but his limbs went weak, and he could only helplessly accept it all.
Ji Hao said, "Before you die, I can grant you one wish."
Wang Youcai's fingers trembled as he looked at a bamboo flute by the bedside, overwhelmed with emotion.
"You want it? I'll help you." Ji Hao picked up the flute and put it to Wang Youcai's lips.
Wang Youcai began to play the flute softly.
He knew Lin Meiqiong was inside and wanted to warn her.
But it was all in vain.
Ji Hao stood aside, becoming a spectator.
The sound of the flute was mournful and desolate, like weeping and lamenting.
Wang Youcai recalled that when he was in college, Lin Meiqiong practiced dancing under a big tree because she was participating in the school's welcome party.
On that very day, he became completely captivated by Lin Meiqiong. Her graceful dance moves, like butterflies fluttering about, danced in his heart as well.
It just so happened that Wang Youcai had joined the school's xiao (vertical bamboo flute) club at that time. After learning the xiao for a while, he played a tune on it, and that's how the two met.
After that, every time Lin Meiqiong practiced dancing under the big tree, Wang Youcai would play the flute beside her. Their relationship gradually warmed up, and they finally got married after graduating from university.
Now, as he plays the xiao (vertical bamboo flute) again, Wang Youcai is filled with emotion.
Why, why?
Wang Youcai was overwhelmed with grief. He could not shout, his limbs were too weak to move, and he could only weep silently.
The sound of the flute was extremely mournful, just like his mood, containing endless sorrow, and echoing softly in the room.
He didn't understand why he had to go through this torment, which was worse than death.
"Ji Hao, one day I will tear you to pieces!"
Tears streamed down Wang Youcai's face, and he trembled as if he had lost his entire world.
Gradually, Wang Youcai closed his eyes.
He died.
Ji Hao sneered. The grudge from his past life had finally been avenged.
Ji Hao ignored Wang Youcai and turned to walk into the inner room.
......
Some time later, Ji Hao asked Lin Meiqiong, "Are you going to leave with me?"
Lin Meiqiong glared at Ji Hao and said angrily, "Why are you leaving? You're just a charlatan, not a real master at all. You big liar."
Ji Hao said meaningfully, "Haven't you noticed it's getting colder?"
Lin Meiqiong said, "It seems so."
"To tell you the truth, the extreme cold of the apocalypse is coming. Luckily, I've built a safe house and stockpiled a lot of supplies. As long as you come with me, I guarantee you won't go hungry or cold," Ji Hao said earnestly.
"I just divorced Wang Youcai. If I go with you now, what will people think of me? Will I lose face?" Lin Meiqiong shook her head and refused.
Ji Hao was speechless, but he still continued to persuade him: "It's the end of the world, why care about saving face? Living well is the most important thing."
Lin Meiqiong shook her head again and said firmly, "No, I've already betrayed my conscience by having these few contacts with you. If I run away with you again, I won't be able to eat or sleep at night."
Ji Hao said, "Since you're unwilling, then forget it. I won't force you. But there's something I must tell you: this extreme cold apocalypse will continue indefinitely. You need to stockpile supplies and protect yourself."
"Okay, I understand," Lin Meiqiong replied. "I've been following the news about natural disasters and I'll keep an eye on it."
Ji Hao took out a pistol, two magazines, and a large amount of supplies from his spatial storage, almost filling the room.
"You...where did you come from?" Lin Meiqiong's alluring eyes were filled with shock.
"Don't worry about that. Just hold onto your gun. If anyone tries to harm you, you must shoot immediately to avoid getting hurt." Ji Hao handed the gun and magazine to Lin Meiqiong and told her to keep them safe.
"Thank you," Lin Meiqiong said sincerely.
“I live in apartment 2201, building 1, Happiness Community. If you’ve changed your mind, you can come find me anytime, or give me a call,” Ji Hao said.
Lin Meiqiong said, "I will."
Ji Hao said, "Okay, then I'm leaving."
When they arrived at the outer room, Wang Youcai's body was already cold. Overwhelmed with grief, his face was covered in tears and humiliation.
Now that Xia Siyu is the only one left, Ji Hao will never let her get away with it.
It was already late at night when they left the Wang family's residence.
Ji Hao felt a chill in the air; the temperature had dropped considerably. He took out a coat and put it on before calling Gu Wanqing.
"Wanqing, where are you now? I'll come pick you up," Ji Hao said.
“I’m in Baichuan City next door,” Gu Wanqing replied.
"Baichuan City?" Ji Hao was taken aback.
“That’s right,” Gu Wanqing said. “I have a best friend in Baichuan City who lives next door to me. She wanted to build a simplified version of a safe house. I thought about it and decided to knock down the walls of the rooms so that we could live together. It would be safer that way. The safe house is almost finished now and will be completed in three days.”
Ji Hao sighed. It was fine if Lin Meiqiong wouldn't go with him. He had originally planned to pick up Gu Wanqing, but Gu Wanqing was in Baichuan City. If he went there now, it would definitely be too late.
Ji Hao could only advise, "I'm telling you, this extreme cold disaster will never end, and the temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius. I'm not kidding you. What you need to do now is to immediately go outside and buy a lot of food and weapons, then stay in the safe house and don't open it for anyone."
Gu Wanqing was silent for a moment, then said in a trembling voice, "You... are you telling the truth?"
Ji Hao's voice was more serious than ever before: "Would I lie to you about something like this? Just do as I say, and I guarantee you'll live a good life."
Gu Wanqing said, "Okay, I will."
"Okay, that's settled then. I'll contact you later." After saying that, Ji Hao hung up the phone and then contacted Zhao Meijing.
Upon learning that Zhao Meijing was at the company, Ji Hao drove his BMW straight there.
