Chapter 59 If we can’t live together, let’s die together
There was blood in front of my eyes and noises in my ears.
All night long, he desperately reached out to grab and search: "Mingguang, Shi Mingguang?"
His hands were covered in wet, warm blood. He didn't care where he was injured or bleeding. He was just afraid that the blood was Shi Mingguang's.
His vision became increasingly blurred, and he groped with the last of his strength.
My fingertips seemed to touch someone's skin, and I heard a weak call in my ears.
Shi Mingguang felt a bloody taste in his throat. He tried hard to open his uninjured eye, but the blood flowing from his forehead still blurred his vision.
Someone's fingers were groping and searching, and he raised his hand with difficulty, enduring the severe pain.
He guessed that his arm was injured or even broken, but in order to reassure the man and confirm his presence, he still raised his hand to greet him.
The man's fingertips touched his arm, and Shi Mingguang hurriedly squeezed out his name from his throat.
The next second, the man's fingertips moved away from the arm.
In the red world, someone dragged Lian Ye away.
When Shi Mingguang woke up in the hospital, he saw Chi Tiansheng at first sight.
"All night..."
Shi Mingguang stretched out his hand towards the man, his hand trembling slightly and without any strength.
The man did not step forward or take his hand. Instead, he stepped back and looked down at him coldly.
"I'm not that person."
He is the real Chi Tiansheng, but Shi Mingguang mistakenly identified him as "Lian Ye".
No wonder, Lian Ye occupied his body for more than a month, and he wished he could stick to Shi Mingguang every day.
For Shi Mingguang, it doesn’t matter what kind of person the real Chi Tiansheng is. The “Chi Tiansheng” he knows seems to be the real one.
Unfortunately, I will never give up my body again.
That night, he found his identity again and had to face the Luo family and Luo Pingcheng.
"He wasn't at the scene. It must have been done by Luoping City. He is from Luoping City."
Chi Tiansheng sighed and reminded Shi Mingguang: "Not being there is a good thing. It's better than dying on the spot. However, your other good friend, Song Kang, is not so lucky."
When the truck crashed into their vehicle, Song Kang reacted quickly, reached out to help the driver turn the steering wheel, and used himself to block the head-on collision.
Of the four people in the car, only Song Kang died on the spot. Although the driver was seriously injured, his condition stabilized after rescue.
Song Kang is someone who would do this.
He often said that once he chose this job, he had to put his own life and death interests behind others.
Even if that person is a criminal, when that person is in danger, he must act as that person's shield.
Therefore, Song Kang used his life to protect Lian Ye, himself, and the driver.
Shi Mingguang's eyes were suddenly filled with tears.
Chi Tiansheng smiled bitterly. It seemed that Song Kang was still very important in Shi Mingguang's heart.
Although they are just friends, it is certain that there is a sincere friendship between them.
This is a feeling that Chi Tiansheng has never experienced.
From childhood to adulthood, some people were afraid of him, some hated him, and some people fawned over him and tried to please him because of the Chi family. However, he never had a completely equal good friend.
Chi Tiansheng only felt a little of the pure care and warm power between friends from Xiaowen.
Despite his physical condition, Shi Mingguang insisted on visiting Song Kang to see him for the last time and send him off.
Song Kang's colleague told him that the driver of the truck was driving under the influence.
After the accident, the driver did not flee, but when he got out of the car to check the scene of the accident, he was hit and killed by another car.
The perpetrator is dead, so it can only be regarded as an accidental traffic accident.
Song Kang's face was paler than usual, even his lips were pale.
Song Kang often stayed up late to work overtime to investigate cases, watch surveillance footage, and look for clues. He didn't sleep all night and would buy breakfast to come and see me at dawn.
Shi Mingguang often complained about him, "You look uglier than a ghost. Did you not sleep all night again? You bought me breakfast, why don't you just go home and rest?"
Song Kang put the hot breakfast on the table with a smile and pushed it in front of Shi Mingguang.
"Did you look in the mirror when you woke up? Your face looks much scarier than mine when you wake up this morning. If you don't eat breakfast on time, you'll get low blood sugar, and your face and lips will be pale."
Song Kang fought back and put all of Shi Mingguang's favorite foods in front of him.
Song Kang's hands are always warm when he pushes breakfast, carrying the temperature of breakfast and the warmth of his friends' care.
From then on, there was no such scene again.
Cold and deadly, this is what death is.
Shi Mingguang held his friend's cold hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.
If I hadn't been so nosy, if I hadn't insisted on collecting evidence to convict Luo Pingcheng, if I hadn't been so self-righteous every day and dragged Song Kang into this...
The time for Song Kang's farewell party has been set. According to the procedure, his remains will be finalized, placed in a coffin and cremated.
The staff signaled to Lawyer Xu to take Shi Mingguang away.
"Lawyer Shi, it's a done deal. No matter how much you cry or how hard you try, Officer Song won't come back."
Lawyer Xu was filled with sadness. He was supposed to go to the airport to pick someone up, but Officer Song said it was too dangerous and he wanted to go in person.
If I had driven to pick up Shi Mingguang and Lian Ye that day, I might be the one lying here, never to wake up.
Shi Mingguang couldn't bear to let go, he knew that if he let go, they would be separated forever by life and death.
Song Kang was covered with a white cloth and pushed away.
Shi Mingguang could no longer suppress his pain.
Self-blame, the pain and despair of losing his best friend, and the anger at his own powerlessness, all these emotions intertwined together and exploded in his heart.
I heard sad cries all night long.
He walked over to the sound and saw the man with his back to him, crying bitterly in the dark.
He reached out to catch him at night, but the man disappeared, the darkness dissipated, and a blinding light shone into his eyes.
Luo Pingcheng's gloomy face came into view.
"That's amazing! Not only did he survive, but he also got to hook up with that lawyer as he wished!"
I didn't know where I was injured that night, I just felt a dull pain from head to toe.
Luo Pingcheng is still the same as before, not caring about other people's lives at all.
This is why Lian Ye hates Luo Pingcheng and despises the Luo family, without a trace of sympathy or tenderness.
In this cold and terrible home, I couldn't feel the vitality and hope of being alive even at night.
I tried to struggle all night, but my hands and feet were tied.
Luo Pingcheng held a shining dagger and moved it around his cheek, threatening him.
"Tell me the truth. What are you, Shi Mingguang, and Song Kang planning? Have you betrayed me? Have you sold me out?"
He didn't move all night and was tied up very tightly. When he struggled, the wounds on his body seemed to split open.
The worst that could happen is real death.
Rather than being dragged into darkness again, losing freedom forever, and never being able to walk side by side with Shi Mingguang in the sunshine again, I would rather die overnight.
"Oh, betrayal?"
He was mocked coldly all night long. He had been sincere and loyal to me before, so his current actions can only be called betrayal.
However, he never treated Luo Pingcheng and the Luo family sincerely, and never did anything for them willingly.
"Lian Ye, you've really changed. In just two months, you've changed so much."
Luo Pingcheng gritted his teeth, believing that it was Shi Mingguang who changed Lian Ye.
"Give up! Song Kang is dead, and all you can do is rely on that little lawyer Shi Mingguang? He can't save you!"
Luo Pingcheng started to go crazy again. He dropped the dagger, suppressed his shoulder that was injured overnight, and roared angrily.
Lian Ye was not afraid of death, he was afraid that Shi Mingguang would suffer alone.
One could imagine overnight how sad Shi Mingguang must have been about Song Kang's death.
Shi Mingguang would also blame himself for involving Song Kang and killing his good friend.
At times like this, Lian Ye really wanted to stay with Shi Mingguang.
"I don't need Shi Mingguang to save me. No, he has already saved me. You said I have changed a lot. Yes, my situation and ending may not be easily changed, but my heart and beliefs have changed."
Lian Ye did not show a trace of despair on his face.
Despair gradually filled Luo Pingcheng's eyes.
He is fearless at night because he has grasped the light.
I was filled with fear because I couldn't hold on to anything.
The fear and despair in the heart gnawed at Luoping City.
"Heart? Belief? Haha, what's the meaning of these empty things? What can they change? You are mine. If I want you to live, you live obediently. If I want you to die, you die in front of me!"
You can die overnight, or wander far away alone, but you shouldn't come back to me, stand with Shi Mingguang, go against me, and confront me.
The police car has arrived outside the Luo family’s door.
They must have sufficient evidence. Lian Ye, who was seriously injured and lying in the Luo family's house, is undoubtedly the best witness.
"Master, you should also pay the price for your sins and accept legal sanctions, just like the Second Young Master."
He calmly watched Luo Pingcheng go crazy all night, enduring the pain of his wounds, and finally, out of consideration for their relationship as master and servant, he gave him some advice.
Luo Pingfeng is in jail, and Luo Pingcheng should go in too.
In this way, Shi Mingguang will be safe.
Luo Pingcheng guessed all of Lian Ye's thoughts.
"I won't be arrested. Living like that would be worse than death."
Luo Pingcheng dragged Lian Ye into the car and fled from the Luo family through the back door.
Luoping City will perish together with Lianye.
Driving all the way to the barren mountains, Luoping City continued to accelerate on the winding mountain road.
"Before I saw you again, I also thought about letting go, letting you run away, giving you freedom. But it turns out that I can't do it."
Luo Pingcheng looked at Lian Ye, smiled, turned the steering wheel hard, and stepped on the accelerator.
Before hitting the ground heavily, Lian Ye lost consciousness.
Luo Pingcheng's body was not found. He was covered with scars and his face was disfigured.
"Lawyer Shi, it's best not to go in. I don't think he would want you to see him like this."
Chi Tiansheng stretched out his hand to block Shi Mingguang and shook his head.
It was Chi Tiansheng who found Lian Ye, and it was he who arranged the most timely and best rescue and treatment for Lian Ye.
