Bai Ruiting sat stiffly on the ground, as if his soul had been drained, unable to react.
At that moment, a hand slowly and weakly grabbed his ankle, and he was jolted awake, snapping out of his shock. He then mechanically looked down at Bai Shuze, following the hand on his foot.
It turns out Bai Shuze is still alive.
As a doctor, Bai Ruiting knew very well that Bai Shuze's condition must be due to intracranial hemorrhage, and that he had to be rescued as quickly as possible, as even a minute's delay could lead to his death!
He immediately got up, ready to provide first aid.
But Bai Shuze's lips moved at that moment, "Hand...phone".
These two words exploded in Bai Ruiting's mind like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the pain and self-blame he had felt just moments before.
He grabbed Bai Shuze's phone, held it high, and gritted his teeth, asking, "Who are you going to call?! You're a doctor, you should know your own condition. This might be your last call. Who are you going to call?!"
Bai Shuze barely hesitated before uttering the word "Xuan" with trembling lips.
"Hahahaha..." Bai Ruiting burst into a maniacal laugh, but as he laughed, he could no longer stop the tears from flowing, and then he suddenly stopped laughing.
"Ji Yaxuan! It really is Ji Yaxuan! Even at the very last moment of your life, there was only Ji Yaxuan in your heart!"
"Bai Shuze, what is your heart made of?! I thought that in the last moment of your life, you would remember hurting my mother for thirty years, you would remember that you ruined Xia Chu, ruined Xu Qingyun, ruined Ye Jianjia, and you would feel a little guilty. But I never expected that in the end, you only had Ji Yaxuan!"
Bai Ruiting tearfully accused him, each word dripping with blood, each word like a thorn piercing his heart, causing a sharp pain with every utterance!
But Bai Shuze seemed not to hear him. He only wanted to get his phone and call Ji Yaxuan to tell her that Huo Yan and the others already knew the truth back then, and that she needed to make plans as soon as possible.
However, he tried desperately to raise his hand, but it was stiff and he couldn't move it.
Snap!
Bai Ruiting suddenly threw his phone a meter away, then bent his knees, wrapped his arms around them, and glared at Bai Shuze with cold eyes covered by tears.
Bai Shuze used all his strength to turn his body over and try to crawl over to get his phone.
Bai Ruiting didn't move, his face filled with dejection.
"Bai Shuze, do you know why I've never gotten married or had a girlfriend? Because I'm not good enough. My parents' marriage was a distorted relationship. My mother is insane, my father doesn't love me at all, and I'm a product created through IVF. What qualifications or courage do I have to get married and have children?"
"I am destined to be alone in this life."
"This is God's punishment for you. But the sins of the father must be paid by the son. You committed a sin, but I am the one who suffers the retribution."
Bai Ruiting spoke quietly, his bleak and desperate gaze fixed on Bai Shuze.
This father is such a devoted lover. Even though he was barely clinging to life, he still managed to get his phone with that last breath.
Bai Ruiting gave a bitter laugh, got up and walked over.
When the call connected, Bai Shuze's eyes revealed an indescribable excitement.
But then a shadow fell over him and hung up the phone.
An overwhelming surge of anger accelerated the bleeding, and Bai Shuze died suddenly before he could even utter a curse.
Bai Ruiting sat down in front of him, looking at Bai Shuze who was already silent but still staring with his eyes wide open. He smiled sadly, "Because you couldn't do one last thing for Ji Yaxuan, you died with your eyes open in disgrace."
"Very well, you've done so many evil deeds, dying with your eyes wide open is your retribution."
Bai Ruiting spoke while crying, feeling as if his heart was being stabbed again and again, a sharp pain.
He said Bai Shuze was vicious, but wasn't he the same? He accidentally pushed Bai Shuze off the building, and he stood by and watched his own father die in front of him.
He was equally cold-blooded.
Bai Ruiting thought that if he ever fell in love with a woman, he would probably be just like Bai Shuze, resorting to any means necessary.
He cannot allow himself the opportunity to become like that.
In the early hours of the morning, Bai Ruiting poured gasoline all over the villa, then lit a lighter.
He smiled through his tears, closed his eyes, and the lighter fell from his hand. The moment it hit the ground, a loud "boom" rang out, and a towering flame illuminated the night sky.
**
"Old Ji, something's happened!" Lu Chuan stumbled and grabbed Ji Hanchen, his face as white as a ghost, his eyes like hot irons.
Ji Hanchen's brow furrowed. Lu Chuan wouldn't act like this unless it was something extremely serious. "What happened?!"
Lu Chuan's tears streamed down his face. "Ruiting is in the hospital. He's been burned beyond recognition. He wants to see you one last time."
boom!
Ji Hanchen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body stiffened, a sharp pain shot through his entire body, his ears rang, and he forgot to breathe.
"Old Ji! Old Ji!" Lu Chuan was extremely anxious; if he lingered any longer, he might not see him one last time.
Ji Hanchen swallowed hard and immediately staggered after Lu Chuan.
Shen Luo was already waiting there. When she saw them arrive, she immediately wiped away the cold tears on her face, grabbed Ji Hanchen's arm, and pushed him into the emergency room.
Seeing the person on the operating table, Ji Hanchen felt a sharp pain in his heart, and even breathing hurt.
Bai Ruiting tried to open his mouth, but his throat was completely choked by the thick smoke, and he could no longer make a sound.
He looked at Ji Hanchen, tears welling up in his eyes and streaming down his temples, which were scarred and pitted by the fire.
At this moment, the three men finally lost control and burst into tears.
In their memories, Bai Ruiting was gentle and refined, always with a soft voice, kind eyes, and a smile that always made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
But who is this charred person in front of me?!
Why did it turn out like this?
Bai Ruiting never expected that he would be rescued from the fire.
But this is for the best, at least he saw some of his brothers.
He always thought his existence was meaningless until he became good brothers with them.
He cherished his relationships with Ji Hanchen, Lu Chuan, and Shen Luo the most, yet he betrayed his brothers; he doesn't deserve forgiveness.
But now they are crying for him, and it was all worth it.
Now, he wants to leave. The pain in his body is too much, it's worse than death, so he wants to die so that the pain will stop.
Ji Hanchen, see you in the next life. I will repay what I owe you and Qingyun in the next life.
Bai Ruiting closed his eyes and stopped crying.
The three men hugged each other, their shoulders trembling as they cried.
It wasn't until dawn, when the three of them had cried until their voices were hoarse, that they gradually calmed down.
At that moment, Ji Hanchen's phone received a scheduled email.
yes……
