FV: Chapter 203

Ji Zhenhong was still feeling doubts as the police took him away.

The police said he was suspected of intentional homicide, but he had never intentionally killed anyone. Even if it was Ji Yuling, he was just covering up for Tan Jiaji. It wasn’t intentional homicide.

Ji Zhenhong wasn’t afraid of this. He asked his secretary to call a lawyer and went to the police station.

As a result, he arrived at the police station and knew what happened. Tan Jiaji insisted that he killed Ji Yuling and that it had nothing to do with Tan Jiaji. He wasn’t familiar with Ji Yuling and had no money. How could he kill someone?

Ji Zhenhong never dreamed that the son he protected would bite back at him like this and immediately said angrily, “Beast! What are you talking about? I killed Yuling? Why would I kill my son? What good would it be for me if Yuling died?”

“Because you don’t like him!” Tan Jiaji opened his mouth. “You think he has more power and the right to speak in the Ji Group. How can he have the right to speak when you aren’t dead yet? You killed him so he couldn’t speak!”

Tan Jiaji vowed, “If you weren’t the one who killed him, why did the driver die after you saw him? You simply shut his mouth because you were afraid that others would find out you killed your son!”

Father Ji was so angry that he couldn’t stop shaking. “Tan Jiaji! How can you say such a thing? I went to see him and I killed someone? You instigated the driver yourself and wanted him to die, so there is no proof.”

He stared at Tan Jiaji while feeling a chill in his heart. He had helped Tan Jiaji so much and didn’t pursue him killing and injuring his sons. He didn’t even hesitate to use his own brothers for Tan Jiaji and was willing to be threatened by Ji Yuxiao for him. The result? This was how Tan Jiaji repaid him!

He kept saying he wanted a father, that he was jealous that Ji Yuling and Ji Yuxiao could live with him while he just wanted his father’s love. Yet in the end, he wanted his father to take the blame for him!

“I was thinking that once Yuxiao’s heart softened in the future, I would save you. Tan Jiaji, I didn’t expect that you would be inferior to a beast. Yuxiao is right. You should die. You should pay for Yuling’s life!”

Tan Jiaji heard him mention Ji Yuxiao and couldn’t suppress the distortion and anger in his heart. “Stop being hypocritical here. You have never regarded me as your son at all! As long as Ji Yuxiao is here, you will never see me. ‘Ji Yuxiao is right’, yes! Ji Yuxiao is right in everything! Go, I am wrong! I am not worthy of the surname Ji and not worthy of being the son of Ji Zhenhong!”

The two instantly tore and bit at each other.

Ji Yuxiao watched from a distance. He wanted to laugh but couldn’t laugh. He felt very uncomfortable, a feeling that drilled into his heart. His brother was killed by such people. One killed him while the other hid the truth. It was ridiculous, so ridiculous to the point where he felt it was too unworthy.

If he let Tan Jiaji die with his father, his brother and sister-in-law couldn’t come back. His nephew still lost his parents. Everything seemed to make sense, but it didn’t seem to make sense.

Revenge was only so that those who died felt less regretful, so that those who had committed the crime would get what they deserved.

In the end, people couldn’t be resurrected from death and those who left couldn’t come back. His brother and sister-in-law were still so young, but they could no longer accompany their son to see the world.

It was very meaningless.

Ji Yuxiao suddenly wasn’t in the mood to watch this farce.

He said a few words to Officer Zhou and left the police station.

Ji Yuxiao wasn’t in a hurry to go home. He asked Xiao Li to send him to the cemetery.

He stood in front of his brother’s gravestone and looked at his brother’s young appearance in the photo. He was a really good person. He always seemed patient and gentle. He would tell his younger brother to do what he wanted and present flowers to his wife after each performance. He would seriously help his son with homework.

He could work with his subordinates without any airs. He could invest in small businesses to give the other side hope. His world was brilliant, but he was forever stuck at this age. There would never be a future.

Ji Yuxiao blinked. Rain fell, dripping and falling on his eyelashes like he was crying.

But he wouldn’t cry any longer. He hadn’t cried from the time he woke up and saw Ji Leyu’s worried and attached eyes.

He voluntarily gave up the right to cry when he should cry the most, so he never cried again.

‘It is over,’ Ji Yuxiao silently said to Ji Yuling in his heart. ‘Everything is almost over. In the future, I will take good care of Xiao Yu.’

He looked at the photo of Ji Yuling in the rain and the fog. It was as if he was seeing Ji Yuling sitting next to him when he was a child, accompanying him to do his homework, watching TV with him and accompanying him to do everything he wanted to do.

Many people in his life were passersby. Only Ji Yuling had always existed in every corner and every moment of his life. Now Ji Yuling could no longer accompany him.

He wasn’t a passerby and would never be a passerby. He would be the eternal home in Ji Yuxiao’s heart.

Ji Yuxiao opened his mouth and slowly took a breath. His heart was blocked terribly and he seemed to have walked a long way, passing through deserts, over mountains and across rivers before finally reaching this person.

He was tired and sad.

He stood in front of Ji Yuling, lonely like a shadowless tree. His face was unable to be seen clearly but his firm back could be seen, his never-bending spine.

Suddenly, Ji Yuxiao felt someone approaching him and held up an umbrella to cover his head.

He turned his head. To his surprise, it was Lin Luoqing.

Ji Yuxiao felt that he should be surprised, but he didn’t have the mood or strength to be surprised. He looked at the person in front of him, face inexplicably lonely and sad.

Lin Luoqing felt the sorrow that overflowed from his body and stepped forward to hug him.

Ji Yuxiao lowered his head and leaned against his shoulder.

He was seldom vulnerable but now Lin Luoqing felt he was like a helpless child. It was as if his body would be completely broken if this rain became heavier.

However, he would never allow himself to be knocked down. So he stood up straight, not letting anyone see his sorrow.

Lin Luoqing hugged him tightly and couldn’t stop feeling distressed.

He didn’t speak and Ji Yuxiao didn’t speak. For a moment, in this hazy drizzle, the silence between heaven and earth made it seem like only the two of them were left.

The mountains and rivers were empty and the falling flowers and rain hurt the spring even more.

It was better to take pity on the person in front of them.

Ji Yuxiao fell asleep.

He went home, took a shower and changed his clothes. He always felt tired, his body shaking all over. He was full of fatigue and dust and said he wanted to take a nap.

Lin Luoqing agreed. “Okay.”

He lay on the bed with Ji Yuxiao, watching Ji Yuxiao close his eyes and slowly fall asleep.

He slept for a long time, from one afternoon to another.

Ji Leyu was very puzzled. He walked to the bedroom door and took a look. Lin Luoqing got out of bed and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

“Why hasn’t Father woken up yet?” Ji Leyu was a bit worried. “He didn’t have dinner with us yesterday and he didn’t eat lunch at noon today.”

Lin Luoqing touched his head and said gently, “He is too tired. Let him sleep a bit longer, okay? He will eat when he wakes up.”

Ji Leyu nodded.

He thought of the time when Ji Yuxiao was in a coma after the car accident and couldn’t help worrying. That time, Ji Yuxiao also slept for a long time.

“Then Dad, you have to tell me when he wakes up,” Ji Leyu instructed seriously.

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing smiled at him and sent him back to his bedroom.

He watched Ji Leyu walk away and returned to the room. He saw that Ji Yuxiao still had his eyes closed, just like yesterday afternoon.

He must be very tired, which was why he slept for so long.

Lin Luoqing thought about how he finally finished filming, took leave, booked the fastest flight and wanted to come back to surprise Ji Yuxiao. But as a result, he unexpectedly saw Luo Jia in their house.

He was sitting on the sofa in the living room and watched TV with the two children, but Ji Yuxiao wasn’t there.

Seeing him return, Luo Jia was obviously surprised. He helped carry in Lin Luoqing’s luggage and asked him, “Are you finished? Or did you ask for leave?”

Lin Luoqing answered truthfully, “I asked for leave but I can stay for three to five days.”

Luo Jia nodded. “I’ll take you to him.”

Lin Luoqing still hadn’t realized anything at the time and refused. “No need. I’ll just wait for him at home.”

Unexpectedly, Luo Jia insisted. “I will take you there. Maybe he will feel better if you appear at this time.”

Lin Luoqing didn’t quite understand his words and wondered, “What’s wrong with him?”

“Once the time comes, let him tell you.”

Luo Jia finished speaking and helped him put away the luggage before driving him out.

They went to the cemetery where Ji Yuling and Cheng Wei were buried. The moment Lin Luoqing entered, he saw the back standing silently in the rain.

Indifferent, bleak, lonely, sad and melancholy.

It seemed that he had picked up his clothes and twisted them, but all he wrung out was pain.

He looked at it in surprise while wondering what day it was. Was it Ji Yuling’s birthday?

He only knew that today wasn’t Ji Yuling’s death day.

He held the umbrella and walked over carefully. Ji Yuxiao was obviously very lonely, so he didn’t have the strength to care about who was coming.

It wasn’t until Lin Luoqing raised the umbrella above his head that he turned to take a look.

There was countless tiredness and sorrow in his heavy eyes. He looked at Lin Luoqing helplessly, revealing a sense of asking for help that he wasn’t even aware of.

Lin Luoqing hugged him and gave him the support and comfort he wanted.

He was extremely glad that he returned home so early today.

It was when Ji Yuxiao needed him most, when Ji Yuxiao was most vulnerable and when his heart was devastated.

He kissed Ji Yuxiao, who was sleeping, got on the bed and hugged him again.

Ji Yuxiao had a dream, a long-lost good dream. It was a dream he had never dreamed of before.

He dreamed of Ji Yuling, the young and handsome Ji Yuling.

He stood in front of Ji Yuxiao and smiled. “You have done a good job.”

“You’ve done a lot and trapped yourself with me for too long. Go and live your life.”

Ji Yuxiao shook his head and looked at him reluctantly.

Ji Yuling patted his head with a smile and comforted him, “In the next life, if there is still a chance, I will still be your older brother. At that time, I will leave this world later than you, okay?”

Ji Yuxiao still shook his head, eyes sad and painful. He stared straight at Ji Yuling, not wanting him to leave.

Ji Yuling said openly, “Don’t be like this. You don’t look handsome like this.”

He finally patted his brother on the shoulder and turned away.

“I’m going.” Ji Yuling waved his hand and walked not far away.

He walked in a dashing and firm manner. Ji Yuxiao’s eyes followed his back and could see Cheng Wei waiting for him at the end of the road.

She smiled as sweetly as ever. She tilted her head, waved at him and shouted, “Xiao Xiao, remember to help take care of Xiao Yu for me and your brother.”

“Okay,” Ji Yuxiao replied in a low voice.

He would take good care of Ji Leyu and raise him well.

“Thank you,” Cheng Wei told him.

She took Ji Yuling’s hand. Then as they usually did, they walked toward a place he couldn’t see with a smile.

Ji Yuxiao stood in front of the sunrise like an abandoned child, tears falling instantly.

He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, not wanting others to see the tears in his eyes. However, the tears increased more and more and continued to fall like rain.

He obviously didn’t want to cry, but he couldn’t help bursting out into tears.

He raised a hand and covered his eyes, not wanting to be seen like this.

However, his cries slowly seeped out. It was like the whimpering of a small animal, painful and sad.

He didn’t have a brother or a family. He would never be able to see his brother again.

Ji Yuxiao stood under the sun, alone in pain and unable to stop crying.

Yet he finally wiped away his tears and walked in the other direction.

He still had nostalgia, expectations, a lover he couldn’t let go of and responsibilities he couldn’t let go of.

He still wanted to kiss the other person he held dear in his heart. He also wanted to stand, hug him and carry him into the distance.

Ji Yuxiao raised a hand, waved in the direction where Ji Yuling left and said his final goodbye.

“Goodbye, Brother.”

From now on, he would live for himself.

He would live well and seriously.

The sun came out. It had exhausted all its strength. At the last moment, it jumped out from between the cliffs, illuminating the whole world in an instant.

Ji Yuxiao raised his head. The light of the sunrise shone on his face. He was wrapped in the light, dazzling and eye-catching.

He would regain his pride.

The author has something to say:

President Ji won’t suffer due to insomnia any longer. It was essentially psychological because he had been trapped in the accident. Once the matter is resolved, he can come out of it.
