Grandpa Shi looked at his two trusted confidants in surprise, "You...you're fake too?"
The two bodyguards removed their disguise masks, revealing their true faces.
One was Jing, a capable subordinate of Zhui, and the other was a younger-looking man who was Jing's most capable subordinate, Chuang.
Jing: "Mr. Shi, I was still thinking about how to get rid of Zheng Jie, who was actually Emperor Wine in disguise, but you sent him to Shi Xi's side. You really saved me a lot of trouble."
Grandpa Shi knew he couldn't escape. "Ha, conspiring with a tiger will only lead to being killed by it!"
"Bang--"
Blood kept gushing from Grandpa Shi's heart, staining his Zhongshan suit.
After killing Grandpa Shi, Jing took a picture and sent it to Zhui before turning and leaving.
Grandpa Shi's eyes gradually became hazy. In his final moments, he suddenly understood why he was so obsessed with time travel. He wanted to go back to the past and spend quality time with the people who cared for him.
In the end, he still hurt their offspring. I'm sorry, Ruoshui.
Zhui's ending will definitely be worse than his. He can end his inner sins earlier, but Zhui has to continue living!
Grandpa Shi used all his strength to murmur, "Xiao Xi, I'm... sorry!"
After saying that, he left this world with a smile on his face.
All the people outside were dealt with by Bai Yanlang and the Liu tribe, except for Grandpa Shi, who was still missing.
Di Jiu removed his disguise mask, revealing his true appearance. He then dealt with the people behind him and brought Shi Xi and Di Chenxiao to the laboratory.
When Shi Xi arrived at the laboratory, she saw her grandfather lying on the ground covered in blood.
Gui Che, Bai Yanlang, Bai Jian, and others also arrived at the laboratory.
Upon seeing Grandpa Shi's body, Di Yi immediately covered Shi Xi's eyes. However, Shi Xi was walking in front, and before he covered her eyes, she had already seen Grandpa Shi's body.
"Don't be afraid, sweetie!"
Di Jiu looked bewildered, walked over to Grandpa Shi, checked his breathing, and found he was no longer breathing.
"Master, Miss Shi, when I... when I left, he was perfectly fine, with two bodyguards by his side, how... how could he..."
Bai Yanlang: "Two bodyguards?"
"Those two bodyguards are his trusted confidants; they couldn't possibly betray him. Wait, could they be imposters like me?"
Diwen came in from outside and said, "It was indeed someone else in disguise. I found the bodies of those two people outside. Judging from the lividity, they were murdered at least three days ago."
Di Jiu: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Someone actually took advantage of our dealings with Grandpa Shi's men to secretly kill him!"
Shi Xi couldn't quite put her finger on it. She didn't have much affection for the elderly man she hadn't known for very long, but she still felt a bit suffocated, as if she couldn't breathe.
Di Chenxiao carried Shi Xi out, making sure her feet weren't stained with any blood. Gui Che stared blankly at Grandpa Shi's corpse before finally turning and leaving.
Di Jiu took Grandpa Bai's body back to the Shi family, while Di Wen stayed behind to handle the rest. Bai Yanlang and Bai Jian also returned to the Shi family with Di Chenxiao.
Gradually, the red glow in the eastern sky grew more and more extensive, and the red sunrise drove away the darkness, shining through layers of leaves onto the black cars.
Inside the car, Di Chenxiao never let go of Shi Xi's hand, holding it tightly to convey warmth and reassurance.
Xixiao Hospital.
Shi Xi stood in front of the hospital again, looking at the four big characters. She could almost feel how difficult it must have been for Di Chenxiao to put their names together, meaning that the two of them could be together forever.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to see Mom and Dad first, and check on Mirou and Shisan. After that, we'll go home and see... Dad."
