After Qin Shu ended the call, Amuti immediately threw away his phone, picked up the trembling Xie Lanzhi, and put him on the bed not far away.
“Zhizhi!”
Mrs. Xie could no longer hold back, and staggered forward, kneeling beside the bed, looking at the dying Xie Lanzhi with tearful eyes.
The Taoist priest in a golden robe said to Madam Xie: "Madam, please accept my condolences..."
This person is the abbot of Tianyuan Taoist Temple - Taoist Master Yuxuan.
He was also the person who helped Xie Lanzhi and Qin Shu change their fate.
"You're talking nonsense! Why are you mourning? My son is still alive!"
Mrs. Xie, who was always elegant and well-mannered, glared at Taoist Yuxuan fiercely.
God knows, when she received the news that Amuti was coming to collect the body, she almost fainted.
Her son was fine before he stepped down. He was just in his early forties. How could he suddenly become ill in just a few months?
Xie Lanzhi, who was lying weakly on the bed, spoke in an unsteady voice: "Mom... please don't, don't say anything..."
Mrs. Xie gently stroked her son's pale face and wiped the blood on Xie Lanzhi's face with her fingertips.
She cried, "Zhizhi, you can't do this. Your father and I can't accept it... Son, please, let Ah Shu come to save you, okay? She is such a good doctor, there must be a way to save you!"
Facing his mother's pleading, Xie Lanzhi struggled to move his arm that was resting on the bed, and his blood-stained fingertips gently rested on Mrs. Xie's wrist.
"Mom, Ah Shu can't save me..."
"She has done enough for the Xie family and the Guo family..."
"I can't, I can't... let her die alone after doing so much..."
Xie Lanzhi spoke stumblingly, his body was riddled with wounds, and he was so weak that he vomited blood after saying a few words.
Mrs. Xie was so distressed that she choked. She covered her son's bleeding mouth and said with heartache: "Zhizhi, stop talking. Don't talk anymore!"
Xie Lanzhi didn't even have the strength to pull Mrs. Xie's hand away. His dim and turbid eyes glanced at Amuti who was secretly wiping tears beside the bed.
Amuti looked into Xie Lanzhi's eyes, sniffed, and said to Taoist Yuxuan: "Master, tea is ready outside. I'll have someone take you to rest."
Taoist Yuxuan lowered his eyes and stared at Xie Lanzhi calmly.
"I still have to go back to Yunxiao Mountain. Please tell me about my affairs as soon as possible. I will wait for you outside."
Xie Lanzhi's pale lips moved: "Okay——"
Amuti personally sent Taoist Yuxuan out of the house. When he came back, he confessed to Mrs. Xie and Father Xie the truth about Qin Shu's rebirth, and what efforts the reborn Qin Shu had made to help the Guo and Xie families, who had collapsed in their previous life.
Xie's father and mother finally understood why Xie Lanzhi had fallen into this state.
He was exchanging his own life for Qin Shu's, to repay Qin Shu's kindness in this life. He was also unwilling to part with Qin Shu in this life, as she had paid so much but ended up dying.
"Zhizhi! My Zhizhi!"
The palms and backs of her hands were all made of flesh, and Mrs. Xie completely collapsed.
She threw herself on Xie Lanzhi, hugged her son tightly, and cried bitterly.
Father Xie looked deeply shocked. He stood beside the bed in a daze, tears falling silently from his eyes.
Xie Lanzhi said softly: "Mom, after I leave, wait until Ah Shu is completely safe before announcing my death."
Father Xie came to the bedside with a hunched back and held Xie Lanzhi's hand tightly: "Son, is there really no other way?"
Xie Lanzhi's eyelids trembled slightly. He didn't dare to meet his parents' hopeful gaze. He spoke slowly, "Now that I have achieved what I wished for, I must pay the corresponding price."
He used his Emperor Star destiny to exchange for Qin Shu's chance to survive, but he was destined to face death.
Mr. and Mrs. Xie were silent, shedding tears silently, with deep sorrow lingering throughout their bodies.
Xie Lanzhi sensed their sadness and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial son. I can't take care of you in your old age."
Father Xie's lips trembled and he choked with sobs, "Lanzhi, you want to save Ah Shu, your mother and I won't stop you, but have you ever thought about your parents who gave birth to you and raised you? How can your mother and I accept this? You are asking us, the old, to send off the young, and let us experience the pain of cutting flesh and digging out our hearts!"
Father Xie burst into tears and covered his face with his hands, crying bitterly.
Xie Lanzhi's pupils dilated and his face became more and more rosy. He held Madam Xie's hand with one hand and raised the other hand tremblingly. His slender fingertips hooked on the hem of Xie's father's clothes and held it tightly like a child.
"Dad, Mom, I'm an unfilial son. I'm sorry..."
The voice was gentle and pleasant, containing a hint of strength, and there was no more stuttering.
Xie's father and mother, who were crying with their faces covered, did not notice that Xie Lanzhi's eyes were out of focus and he had a moment of clarity.
Until Amuti knelt on the ground, crawled to the bed, and called out in a trembling voice: "Brother Lan?"
Xie Lanzhi heard it and tilted his head slightly towards the voice.
He couldn't see anything clearly and had to rely on Amuti's breathing to identify his location.
Xie Lanzhi pulled up his thin lips and smiled: "Amuti, take good care of our parents, protect Ashu, and the children."
Amuti held Xie Lanzhi's arm and shouted incoherently: "Brother Lan, Brother Lan..."
He knew that the man who treated him like his own brother was leaving him forever.
Xie Lanzhi loosened his grip on Mrs. Xie's hand, and the hand that was grabbing Xie's father's clothes slowly loosened and fell onto the bed.
"Brother Lan!!!"
Amuti's head slammed hard on the bed, and he roared like a mad beast.
Xie's father and mother stopped crying at the same time and looked at Xie Lanzhi with his eyes closed in disbelief.
In the huge room, the air suddenly became deadly stagnant.
“Zhizhi!”
"My son!"
The next second, heart-wrenching cries were heard.

Yushan Village.
After Qin Shu ended the call, she turned on her phone to check the weather in Beijing.
The temperature in Beijing was indeed very high today. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Qin Hairui who was in the driver's seat.
"Brother, we won't go to Jing City. Lanzhi will be here in a few days."
"That's good." Qin Hairui breathed a sigh of relief and turned the car around to go back.
Qin Shu saw with her own eyes that Xie Lanzhi was fine, and she was completely relieved.
But deep down in her heart, there was still a trace of doubt.
Xie Lanzhi seemed to be avoiding her. When her life was in danger, he was unable to rush back. This was not in line with his style at all.
Qin Shu sat in the car, looking out the window at the scenery flashing by quickly, her brows slightly furrowed.
Suddenly, she remembered the gang-related incident that shocked the world after the return of Hong Kong in her previous life. A ruthless character kidnapped wealthy businessmen from the mainland in major casinos, demanded a huge ransom, and still chose to kill them.
There are many gangs in Macan, and there are countless murders, kidnappings, shootings and other vicious incidents.
As the previous person in power and the founder of the Longting Special Operations Brigade, Xie Lanzhi really needs to be in charge of the command in Beijing.
When Qin Shu thought of this, the last trace of doubt in her heart disappeared.
When Qin Shu returned home, she rushed into the bedroom, knelt on one knee, and bent over to look under the bed.
When she was packing up, she vaguely saw a pile of yellowed objects under the bed.
