Chapter 32.1 - Confrontation

Chu Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and more and more cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He felt as if two hammers were constantly hitting his temples, making a ringing sound in his head and his vision blurred.

The scene in his mind was like a rapid whirlpool, swirling and rotating constantly. It felt like if he wasn’t careful, that scene would overlap with what he was seeing now. He couldn’t help but to hold his forehead.

Luo Yi quietly looked at his slightly trembling hand and sighed, “if you’ve already made up your mind to shoot, then do it. I know your personality. That time, I was selfish to think that you’d be okay. I didn’t know you would… If I had known that this would be the result, I would have never let you shoot.”

Chu Jian took in a few deep breaths, “enough…stop talking.”

Luo Yi smiled bitterly, “you should let me finish. I’m going to leave this world soon anyway,” he looked into Chu Jian’s eyes, his gaze slowly softening. “You’re really too stubborn. I already told you that you would suffer because of that. In the future, make sure to change and don’t take unnecessary pains to solve an insignificant problem. Also, don’t worry about our mother, I’ve already sent someone to watch over…”

Chu Jian interrupted him, “…who are you calling mother?”

Luo Yi sighed sadly, “did you know that it has been nearly two years since that incident. She thought you had been dead for four years and because your father went early, she lived by herself. After I started this job, I found your previous address and told her that I was your colleague. I would go to see her and help her when I had time. Then, she said she wanted me as a godson. So, that’s what happened…”

Chu Jian felt confused again and his consciousness became more and more blurred. He took a few deep breaths and asked with his remaining consciousness, “two years? Is my mother okay?”

“She’s doing great and in good health.” Luo Yi said and hesitated for a moment before deciding not to tell him that right now, his mother already knew that he was still alive and often came to see him.

Chu Jian pressed his forehead and muttered to himself.

“Okay, let me finish,” Luo Yi’s eyes were still very tender, without the slightest hint of fear. He was obviously ready to die, “eat more in the future. I remember you used to eat only a little, of course, it’s probably because you were too stressed from having to complete your task and seeing me all day. Now, you’re a little better than before but you’re still too thin. You’re young and have a lot of years ahead so you have to take care of your body. If you meet the right one in the future…”

Chu Jian’s hand holding the gun trembled more and the hand on his forehead slid down slowly to cover his face. With a trembling voice, he interrupted him, “are you done talking…”

“Almost,” Luo Yi looked at the eyes between his fingers. There was a sheen of water covering it and he couldn’t help but to sigh. “In the future, do more things to make yourself happy. Don’t always suppress yourself and don’t always think about those messy things that can’t be changed. It’s good to live a plain, light and happy life. Yi,” he stared straight into Chu Jian’s eyes. His gaze was solemn but his voice was very light, “you should remember that Luo Chengxuan committed all kinds of murders and arsons. He has countless lovers in the world and also deceived many people. You’re just one of them. He’s a real villain and doesn’t deserve your love…let alone your whole life…”

Chu Jian’s tears finally started to overflow. Half a sob broke free from his throat and the other half was forcefully swallowed back.

Luo Yi started to feel a little distressed but he simply closed his eyes and didn’t look. He whispered, “do it.”

Chu Jian could barely hold the gun in his hand. His finger on the trigger tightened and relaxed, and relaxed and tightened. Did he want to experience the same pain again? This thought ate away at his mind.

“This time…” He choked and opened his mouth after a long time. His voice was hoarse, mixed with the smell of blood and despair. It seemed like his words would disappear as soon as they came into contact with the air, “I’ll die with you…”

Luo Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his expression became livid for a moment and even a little shocked, “you!”

Long Junhao nestled in his bedroom and concentrated on making his explosives. He heard the familiar sound of a gunshot coming from outside and his hand shook, making him almost pour out everything in his hand.

“My…my god…” He hurriedly put down his things and patted his frightened little heart before calming down and opened the door to go out.

At the same time, Gu Chen was standing in the corridor, thinking about how to make a certain person give up making the dangerous item and also thought of another way to get permission to continue sleeping on the bed. It was at this moment, he heard the gunshot and his eyes narrowed. He was immediately on high alert and the door in front of him opened.

“What’s going on?” Long Junhao walked up to him. “Is it another group of drug lords? Or did that unknown person that died suddenly revive himself? Er… I remember we left his body there?” The more he thought about the possibility, the more he was convinced. He couldn’t help but to shiver.

“What are you thinking?” Gu Chen rubbed his head, “someone cleared away his body already, and he is not an unknown person. He’s someone Lei Yan sent.”

“Oh,” Long Junhao nodded earnestly before suddenly saying, “eh, no, this isn’t the main focus. Was that a gunshot just now?”

Gu Chen nodded, looked out and pointed to the distance, “sounds like it came from there.”

“Ah?” Long Junhao looked towards the direction he pointed at, “that’s Chu Jian’s place. Something must’ve happened? Let’s go and have a look.”

After speaking, he pulled Gu Chen along and left. It wasn’t long before he arrived and he saw a group of people standing outside Chu Jian’s bedroom. Other than the attendants, Li Xuan was also there in his night robes. The difference was that Chu Jian’s attendants all had their mouths open while Li Xuan was so anxious that he kept walking around in circles and even tried to rush in several times.

Long Junhao randomly pulled someone from the crowd, “what happened?”

That person immediately answered, “just now, Luo Yi came back from work to see master but his gun suddenly went off for some reason and now, they’re confronting each other.”

“Confronting each other?” Long Junhao was surprised, “how did this mess happen?”

“I don’t know. Master is pointing a gun at Luo Yi’s head now. It looks like he’s going to kill him… It was already like this when we arrived.”

As soon as his voice fell, the people around suddenly sniffed and took out handkerchiefs to wipe their tears. Li Xuan became more anxious and looked like he could go out of control at any time.

A little nurse cried, “although I don’t know what kind of play they’re acting, Luo Yi’s last words were so touching like they were his real last words. Ugh…sniff… I can’t take it anymore…”

“This is such a big mess…” The prince reached out to hold his forehead, “forget it, I’d better go in and have a look.”

“No way,” Li Xuan suddenly strode over, grabbed his collar and began to yell, “you can’t go in. Chu Jian is seriously on the verge of collapse now. If you rush in and he gets provoked, what if he shoots Luo Yi to death? Where will I get my money? I helped him take care of Chu Jian for so long and nearly two years worth of hospital fees are due to be paid ahh!!” After that, he shook him back and forth angrily.

Long Junhao weakly held onto his hand and said, “stop, don’t… dizzy… I’m dizzy… Gu Chen…”

Gu Chen hurried to rescue him from the devil’s grasp and Long Junhao held his head and stood still. After recovering, he snorted angrily at Li Xuan before walking to push the door open. As he entered, he heard a murderous voice, as if cursing that he was going to dig up someone’s ancestral grave, “you!”

He immediately trembled and when he saw the situation in the room, he opened his mouth and murmured, “I must have opened the door in the wrong way…”

Luo Yi heard the voice and turned to look at Long Junhao. Then, he looked past him and saw countless pairs of blood red and tearful eyes peeking out from the door frame from top to bottom. He immediately shivered.

Chu Jian took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood before also turning to look at Long Junhao. When he saw his face, many fragments of pictures flashed in his brain and he asked hesitantly, “…you are?”
