Chapter 199 Lifelong Regret
Li Ting looked at Yun Ran, his eyes filled with unbreakable tenderness mixed with unspeakable regret.
"I thought she had found her own happiness, and my concession would be the best blessing."
"I didn't want to cause her any trouble, nor did I want to experience the feeling of being rejected by her outright, so I chose to disappear from her world, not disturb her, and no longer pay attention to her news."
"On the one hand, I wanted to retreat to the appropriate boundaries, but on the other hand, I didn't want to see her loving and harmonious with others. In the end, I overcame my narrow-mindedness and couldn't stand that kind of scene."
"But I didn't expect..." Li Ting's tone gradually changed, and his voice was gradually filled with sadness. "My concession not only failed to fulfill her happiness, but also completely lost her."
"The next time I heard news about her was in the obituary of her death."
"I couldn't believe it and rushed to the cemetery like crazy, but all I saw was her smiling face in the black and white photo."
Li Ting closed his eyes, as if he still couldn't bear to recall that scene. "I just can't believe that such a bright and lively girl would become a still black and white photo. It's as if time stood still in that moment."
"I started investigating the truth and the cause of her death, but in the end, I found everything so ridiculous. The person who killed her was actually her boyfriend, who was about to get married."
"This is so ironic." Li Ting clenched his fists. "What's even more unacceptable to me is that she passed away not long ago, and her family, sister, and her boyfriend have only superficially investigated the murderer and even actively covered up some information."
"And their attitudes, too, show no pain over the loss of someone close to them. They carry on with their lives as normal. When they sometimes mention her, they don't seem to miss her at all. Instead, they act strangely and remain extremely secretive about her death."
"All of this is so abnormal that I can't help but start to wonder what kind of mentality these so-called relatives of hers have towards her experience."
Li Ting originally didn't intend to say anything about the Qin family's attitude, but he didn't expect that Yun Ran already knew the true faces of those people and saw through their hypocritical masks.
Since Yun Ran was able to face these things directly, Li Ting simply stopped hiding this part of the content.
He said, "Later, I followed this clue and indeed found something."
"Her sister was involved in the kidnapping, and her parents are more ashamed of her death."
"And her boyfriend, the one who should have done everything he could to seek justice for her, aided and abetted the evil, helping to cover up the situation and even having an affair with her sister, shielding her from harm."
"The faces of these people made me feel sick, so from that day on, I, who was in a daze because of her death, had a new goal."
"I want to find out the truth that has been covered up and make everyone who has hurt her pay the price. This includes her boyfriend and her so-called relatives. I will not let any of them go."
"Over the years, this has become the motivation that keeps me alive. Only when I do this can I feel a moment of peace and ease the regret and pain in my heart."
"I often wonder, if I hadn't chosen to back down, but had bravely stood in front of her and tried to fight for her just once, would everything have been different? She wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have regretted it for the rest of my life."
