Chapter 2231: Broken Friendship
Xiao Jun struggled to stand up and ran towards Uncle Quan with all his strength.
Before the knife stabbed into his father's body, Xiao Jun stood in front of his father.
Uncle Quan's knife stabbed into Xiao Jun's chest.
"Ajun!" Uncle Quan looked at him in disbelief.
Xiao Jun staggered backwards, and his father hugged him from behind, and he leaned in his father's arms.
The bodyguards all rushed over.
Xiao Jun shouted to Uncle Quan, "Run! Run!"
Uncle Quan looked at him guiltily, and finally said nothing more. He turned around and ran to the end of the road.
Two bodyguards immediately chased after him.
Xiao Jun didn't know whether Uncle Quan could escape, and he didn't care.
He felt very cold, and the blood flowing from the wound seemed to take away the remaining heat in his body.
My father's arrow may not have been fatal, but Uncle Quan's knife was aimed at the heart.
When death is approaching, I am less afraid.
His father helped him sit down slowly on the ground. He rested his head on his father's arm and looked at his father's face.
The astonishment on his father's face had not yet disappeared, and Xiao Jun seemed to see that the eyes of this cold-blooded man were red.
It's rare that his father would cry for him.
He thought that when his father shot the arrow, he had severed the father-son relationship with him.
His father pressed his bleeding wound and stared into his eyes: "Why?"
Why save your father and take the knife for him?
At the moment of rushing over, Xiao Jun didn't think carefully, he just ran over involuntarily.
He had no time to consider whether his father was worthy of him, nor did he care about whether his father loved him.
"Because... you are the father."
Seeing his father in danger, his first reaction and instinct was to rush over to protect him.
Just like when my father wanted to kill his enemy, he would shoot the arrow without hesitation at anyone who got in his way, regardless of whether that person was a family member or not. Anyone who got in his way must die. This was also my father's instinct.
His father shook his head, not sure whether he was disappointed in him or just helpless.
"I hate you doing this the most." The father said painfully and hatefully.
Xiao Jun smiled bitterly. He knew very well that his father wanted him to repay his father with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If his father stabbed him, he would also stab his father in return.
But perhaps, this is what makes him different from his father...
No matter how his father trained him, he could not be as cold and cruel as his father.
He still feels sad whenever he thinks about the rabbit his father forced him to kill in order to harden his heart.
If you can kill a life without even blinking an eyelid and without a trace of guilt in your heart, is such a cold and hard heart still a heart?
"I'm sorry to disappoint you again..."
"Stop talking, save your energy, I'll take you back." My father said, and called the bodyguard for help.
But Xiao Jun grabbed his father's arm and said with difficulty: "No, I'm not going back."
"What?" Father frowned.
"You gave me life and raised me. I'm deeply grateful. I have nothing I can ever repay you with. This arrow and this knife... consider them my repayment for your kindness. From now on... I won't owe you anything."
"Ajun, you want to break up with me?" His father stared at him, shocked and angry.
Xiao Jun nodded. He had finally learned the indifference and decisiveness his father taught him at this moment when death was approaching.
From now on, his father’s life and death has nothing to do with him, and his life and death no longer has anything to do with his father.
He doesn't need to please his father, and his father doesn't need to be disappointed in him.
He doesn't have to marry a woman he doesn't love, and his father doesn't have to use him for anything anymore.
He no longer had to fear his father, and no longer had to live in fear. If he could still live...
Anyway, he was free, even if it was only for a few minutes.
His father let go of his shoulders, stood up, and looked at him indifferently: "Since you are not my son, I have no obligation to save you."
Xiao Jun closed his eyes. He was afraid that his father would not agree to sever ties with him, and was afraid that his father would realize that he owed him and apologize.
It seems that he was overthinking it and he forgot that his father was different from him.
It doesn't matter anymore, he doesn't care anymore.
He felt extremely tired and just wanted to lie down and sleep forever.
In that half-asleep state, he knew that his father and his men had gotten into the car, the car driven by Xiao Jun.
Before the car started, the person who had gone after Uncle Quan came back and reported to Xiao Chongyang: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, we let that guy get away. I'm going to check the surveillance cameras at the nearby intersection..."
"No," my father said tiredly, "I'm tired. Let's stop here."
"But if we keep that person, there might be trouble in the future..."
"So I invited you here just to let the criminals come and go freely in my house? Maybe it's not Wang Quan who will cause trouble, but keeping you bunch of useless people will cause endless trouble!"
The bodyguards all lowered their heads and dared not say anything.
Xiao Chongyang then drove away and the bodyguards hurried back to the manor.
Uncle Quan left safely, and Xiao Jun felt relieved. He closed his eyes, and the earth became unusually warm. His body seemed to be less painful, and gradually, he finally lost all perception.
…
On the way back to the manor, the security guard accompanying Xiao Chongyang asked, "Mr. Xiao, what should we do about Master Ajun?"
Xiao Chongyang stared at the dark road for a moment, then said, "Come back tomorrow morning. If he can escape alive, let him go. If he dies, we'll collect his body."
"……yes."
No one took the initiative to talk to him anymore, and Xiao Chongyang pursed his lips.
He told himself again in his heart that anyone who stood in his way or betrayed him must die.
Ajun is ungrateful and wants to break off relations with him, and Lingfeng is also disobedient and wants to become his enemy.
Okay, very good.
Then let them do what they want, let them all go, let them seek their own death!
He didn't believe it. Wouldn't he, Xiao Chongyang, be able to survive if he left them?
He has more money than he can spend in several lifetimes, and so many people who are eager to kneel down and please him. What is there to be afraid of?
The earth can still rotate without anyone, including Xiao Chongyang!
When he got off the car, Hanlu was waiting for him at the door. A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiao Chongyang felt the pain in his old leg again. When he went up the stairs to return to the villa, he tripped.
Hanlu supported him and asked him with concern.
He pushed Hanlu away, walked upstairs silently, and returned to his suite.
In the end, family and friendship are unreliable. You have to endure the real pain by yourself, and you have to endure the real darkness alone.
This was the lesson Gu Changhai taught him after he broke one of his legs and used extremely despicable means to take away everything from him, including the woman he deeply loved.
This world belongs to the strong. When his abilities are weak, he cannot even keep the woman he loves, nor can he protect his own children. He can only watch Wanqing being taken away, and he cannot even utter a word to ask for help.
