Death of Li Ao
Li Ao woke up in the hospital, but only after the doctor announced that they had tried their best and the patient might not survive the night, which meant that this would be the last time they would see each other!
The first person Li Ao saw after waking up was Li Kexiao.
"You didn't see the person you wanted to see, but saw the person you didn't want to see. You must be very disappointed!" Although Li Kexiao and Li Ao are father and son, their relationship has never been harmonious. Even at this time, even if he felt very uncomfortable, he still didn't know how to speak in a nice tone.
In fact, he subconsciously activated his self-protection mechanism. Instead of hearing some words from his father, it would be better for him to say them himself. At least the lethality would not be so strong!
He knew his father definitely didn't want to see him. He didn't think his father would suddenly care about him just because he was dying! "I know you don't want to see me, I'll just stay away!" He moved from the bed to the window. The sky outside the window was gray and rainy, which perfectly matched his mood.
Li Ao stretched out his hand slowly and tremblingly. Zhao Rirou, who was standing on the other side of the bed, felt that her father did not want Li Kexiao to leave, but Li Kexiao thought that his father was waving his hand and telling him to get out, just like usual.
Seeing Li Kexiao looking out the window unmoved, Chao Rirou couldn't help but reach out her hand.
The moment I held this extremely cold, bloodless hand, I couldn't help but feel a heart-wrenching pain in my chest!
Although they were father and daughter, they had only met twice! The first time they met, he had given her an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, but she had no idea he was her father. The second time they met, this time, she knew he was her father, but he was leaving her forever...
Li Ao rolled his eyes with great effort. Seeing her, his eyes instantly turned red with emotion. He trembled as he stretched out his other hand and held her hand tightly. His lips trembled as he tried to squeeze out the words, "I'm sorry... I... I'm sorry..."
He almost didn't have the strength to speak when he spoke, but looking at his lip shape, Asahiro knew he was talking about them, mother and daughter.
"Don't talk about this anymore, we," Chao Rirou paused, thought for a moment and then continued, "We never blamed you, so don't blame yourself anymore!" Although she had been indignant after knowing the story between him and his mother, and had blamed him for getting involved with that kind of vicious woman, but now that he was about to leave, she just wanted him to go with ease, unload all his burdens, and not be as tired and painful as when he was alive!
"Thank you..." Li Ao burst into tears, feeling extremely relieved. "You... are as kind as your mother..."
"I... owe you... too much!" Li Ao wanted to make amends, but it was clear he couldn't. God wouldn't give him that chance. But he was still very grateful to God for letting him see his daughter before he died! Seeing his daughter safe and sound, he could finally close his eyes.
"I'm reluctant to leave you, but it's my turn to be punished! Everything is my fault, I'm the root of the trouble. Without me, there wouldn't be so many tragedies. I'm going to your mother to confess my sins! I'm going to kneel in front of her and beg for her forgiveness!" He spoke with great breath and effort, and he had to pause for a long time after every few words.
After hearing what he said, a question that had been lingering in Chao Rirou's heart surfaced: Did he have anything to do with the death of the Tang family and the death of Yue Lanjing's father? Or did he know something?
Just when she was hesitating whether to ask, Li Ao took the initiative to tell her, "There is one more thing I must tell you. Be careful of Yue Lanjing!"
When Chao Rirou heard Yue Lanjing's name, her expression was as if she was pricked by a needle.
Li Kexiao also withdrew his gaze from the window and looked over seriously.
"He has now determined that I am the murderer of his father, and it is difficult for me to find evidence to prove my innocence. Although someone can prove that I have nothing to do with his father's death and Tang Zhen's death, that person may not tell the truth to protect himself. Instead, he will put the blame on the dead me! By the time I am dead, they will not do anything to me, but they will definitely implicate you, especially Yue Lanjing. He may let you go, but he will never let your two brothers go! Don't be blinded by his superficial love. What he loves is actually himself! So you must stay away from him!" Li Ao used all the strength he could to solemnly instruct her.
To reassure him, Asari nodded, but she actually had a plan in mind.
"Tell me who can prove your innocence!" Li Kexiao rushed to the bedside and asked anxiously, but seeing that his father's breath was getting weaker and weaker and he was about to die, he couldn't bear to ask any more.
It was unknown how much time had passed, so long that when Chao Rirou and the others thought he had fallen asleep, he spoke again with a weak breath, "Lin Yu."
Asahirou and Li Kexiao looked at each other and saw confused expressions in each other's eyes.
"This name may be unfamiliar to you, but it will become familiar if you read it backwards."
"Lin Yu, Yulin..." the two murmured to themselves.
Suddenly, they both said in unison, "Zhuang Yuling!"
"Don't make it too difficult for him. He has been doing his best for me for so many years. I can see that he is sincere, but he also has a family, so there are many things he cannot control. I don't have much time, and there are some things I can't explain one by one. If you don't understand anything, go to the safe in my study and look for it. I have put it in there. As for the safe key, your brother knows it. Where is your brother?" Li Ao realized that Hua Chuyu was not there.
"He was slightly injured and is still treating his wound. He can only come to see you later, but don't worry, he's fine!" Zhao Rirou felt nervous and panicked, but she didn't dare show it on her face.
Just let him leave in peace, and don't tell him that Hua Chuyu is still being rescued.
"That's good." Li Ao suddenly turned his gaze to Li Kexiao. That look was unfamiliar to Li Kexiao, because his father always looked at him with coldness and emotion, or disgust and impatience. This was the first time he experienced such a warm look, which made him wonder if it was his illusion.
I only heard my father continue, "Don't bully them when I'm gone!"
He had thought it was a warm current, but unexpectedly, the northwest wind was blowing. Li Kexiao was extremely disappointed. He was such an idiot for still having expectations! How could his father suddenly have him in his heart?
Just as he was laughing at himself, Li Ao told Zhao Rirou, "You should also be more tolerant of him."
When Chao Rirou nodded, she glanced at Li Kexiao out of the corner of her eye. He was stunned in disbelief!
"I saw your mother!" Li Ao turned his head and looked towards the window. He seemed to have really seen something, and he smiled longingly. He said excitedly, "She is here to pick me up! She is still as beautiful as ever, and her smile is still as gentle as ever! In the past, when I went to look for your mother, she always told me to leave, saying that her daughter had not been found yet. Now she shouldn't chase me away, right? Xiaomei..."
Zhao Rirou and Li Kexiao reflexively followed his gaze towards the window, but this was a high-rise building, what could be by the window? Nothing.
When their eyes returned to Li Ao, he had closed his eyes with a peaceful expression.
Their breathing stopped, and Chao Rirou put her trembling hand to his nose.
Li Kexiao didn't dare to ask. Seeing her close her eyes and tears falling from the corners of her eyes, he already knew the answer, and his eyes suddenly became moist...
"Have a safe journey. No one will separate you two over there! Enjoy your own world of two and don't bring along that light bulb Hua Chuyu anymore!" Chao Rirou murmured, feeling heartbroken.
She felt heartbroken for her parents' tragic love and bleak lives; for Hua Chuyu, who was battling death and hadn't even seen her father one last time; and for herself. She had finally found her family, only to be told off?! Was she denied even a modicum of happiness, forced to endure constant punishment and loss?!
The police were still searching for Yan Mingchi's body in the heavy rain, from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to almost dark, but they couldn't find anything related to him. However, they did find Zhuang Youya who was seriously injured.
The police found her unconscious in her car at the foot of the mountain. Her car had been severely impacted, and judging from the scene, something unexpected must have happened while she was driving, such as a rabbit suddenly appearing, forcing her to evade the collision and crash into a large rock in a panic.
The police had suspected that it might be related to Yan Mingchi, because the place where she had the car accident was within the range where Yan Mingchi fell, but in the end they ruled it out. The main reason was that there was no trace of Yan Mingchi at the scene. Although the heavy rain did not help a lot and would wash away many traces, it would not be so severe that there would be no clues at all.
Because there is a river below the waterfall with a very fast current, the police believe that Yan Mingchi was most likely to have fallen into the river and then been washed away. It is understood that this river eventually flows into the sea. If the body had flowed into the sea, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! It is no surprise that they can't find it!
As for why Zhuang Youya appeared in such a place, only she herself knew.
Zhuang Youya came to this place because she was worried about Yue Lanxiu.
Before coming, she accidentally overheard her father talking on the phone with someone else.
"What?! The main ambush location is at the Youlin Hotel?! You must tell Yue Lanxiu this news immediately and ask him to rush there!" These were roughly what my father said.
Although she only heard one sentence, she understood the key point: her father asked Xiu to go to a place where there were ambushes! She was afraid that her father would harm Yue Lanxiu, so she drove to the Youlin Hotel without thinking too much!
Because it was night, and the place was unfamiliar, and the place was remote, quiet, and dark like a mountain road, and the destination was called the "Ghost" Hotel, Zhuang Youya was already extremely scared to be alone in this environment, so when the emergency happened, she thought it was a ghost, and her brain went blank with fear, and she crashed into a big rock in panic!
