The feeling of suffocation enshrouded him from all directions, and all thoughts in his brain were buried with the fallen figure.
He forgot to breathe and forgot to struggle.
Blood soaked into the ground.
Soaked into his heart, little by little. Something in the heart was being nourished by the blood, and was about take root and sprout.
When everyone was stunned in the spot, the girl on the ground suddenly moved. She staggered up with the umbrella in hand.
The people surrounding her unconsciously retreated.
She was not deadâŚ
Qin Che stared at her standing up. His emotions gradually quieted down when they had been unspeakable a moment before.
âNow, itâs my turn.â
Ming Shu held the umbrella. Her deep voice was strange and changed into one that sounded like an evil spirit from hell. Everyoneâs blood froze.
A chilly wind swept around them while they all shuddered at the same time.
Tightly packed gunshots overlapped with the heavy rain outside.
The ordinary umbrella became a powerful weapon in her hand, an invincible one.
Screams were covered up by gunshots, and all that could be seen was people falling down in silence. However, those people werenât dead yet, they still had some breath left.
Shen Yuanzhao was a little scared. As Ming Shu approached, he slowly retreated and finally began to run.
Fear.
He felt fear.
âBoss Shen, where do you want to go?â The gloomy voice sounded from behind him, as if its owner was whispering in his ear.
Shen Yuanzhao stopped immediately. He wanted to run, but he couldnât move at all. The next moment, his body flew into the air in a parabola, then fell heavily on the ground.
All his internal organs seemed to have been smashed out.
He Shuguo was probably scared into forgetting everything. He didnât remember to run until Shen Yuanzhao was beaten into a coma.
But before he could run a few steps, he was surrounded by the people rushing up.
Such noise here didnât attract his peopleâs attention, something must have gone wrong.
He Shuguo had to turn back. He saw Ming Shu standing in front of Qin Che, bending over to loosen the ropes for him. Her face was blocked by falling hair, and her expression couldnât be seen.
But like Shen Yuanzhao, he had a feeling of fearâŚ
Standing there was not a human.
âBrother, be careful next time.â Ming Shu looked up and smiled as usual. âDonât risk your life to do something. You canât control all the variables.â
The fear pressing against the air faded.
Qin Cheâs dry lips moved. âA variable like you?â
She was not included in his plan.
Ming Shu intended to answer yes, but suddenly she lost control of her body, starting to fall. She couldnât gather any strength. Qin Che caught her in arms immediately.
âXiao Li?â
The pain swept over her. Ming Shu subconsciously reached out to touch her own chestâŚ
Her fingers were stained red with warmth.
How could this happen?
The wound didnât appear.
[The Hostâs life is ending, please get ready to leave this body.] The Harmony System gave her a reminder.
Even if the Guest comes with a plug-in, it doesnât work. When the Hostâs life is over, she has to die anyway.
ButâŚ
Should I think about that what kind of plug-in the Guest has come with⌠Whatever, itâs enough to have Hatred Points.
âXiao LiâŚâ Qin Che didnât dare to move Ming Shu, and he shouted to the people behind him, âCall an ambulance!â
Knowing that this body was going to die, Ming Shu gave up saving herself. She let the blood flow out freely and dye his clothes red.
She looked at him determinedly. Her eyes were as clear as always, showing no confusion or bitterness. It seemed she didnât care what she was going to face at all.
âDonât be afraid, a doctor will come soon, youâll be all right.â Qin Che covered the wound for Ming Shu. âI wonât let you die.â
âBut I am dying.â
âNo, youâre not.â Qin Che stared at her with reddened eyes; he sounded so stubborn. âYou wonât die.â
Ming Shu suddenly smiled again. Beautiful ripples were spreading around in her clear eyes. She said lightly, âI will.â
Very soon.
I am dying.
Qin Che didnât say anything to her then. He just shouted at his people to urge the doctor.
The girl in his arms was getting weaker and weaker.
UntilâŚ
She breathed out her last breath.
Qin Che silently looked at the girl in his arms. She didnât even leave a last word to him. Did she really hate him so much?
It was getting quieter and quieter all around him.
The rain gradually stopped.
The broken umbrella was lying in the blood alone. Everyone nearby disappeared.
Qin Che searched in his suit pocket and took out a box.
He opened the box. It was a ring. He put it on Ming Shuâs ring finger. The size was just right, and the broken diamonds were shining, magnificent and delicate. It matched with her finger very well.
This was originally prepared for her.
He thought, when this matter was ended, he would propose to her, regardless of success or notâŚ
The calm question drifted away, blending into the night and vanishing into the sky.
âWill you marry me?â
âŚ
âThen⌠what happened to the gentleman?â the host asked Jiang Duo curiously.
Jiang Duo sorted out her emotions apologetically. âI donât know, I never saw him again.â
The host sighed. âMiss Jiangâs friend will be happy in heaven.â
Jiang Duo smiled. âAs long as there are snacks, she will be happy anywhere.â
In Jiang Duoâs heart, Ming Shu was never complicated. As long as you gave her something to eat, she would probably be willing to pick the stars for you.
âŚ
After many years, Qin Che unintentionally saw Jiang Duoâs show. He carefully listened to her narration.
At the end of the show, Jiang Duo faced the camera and said, âThey were well-matched, I never saw anyone else who fit each other like them. But they didnât get together. Maybe sometimes imperfection is more memorable.â
Qin Che touched his ring finger, where a ring was placed. The other ring was tied on a string around his neck.
âRuan LiâŚâ Qin Che sighed and looked at the void. âGet ready to leave.â
[Lord Nine, finally youâre leaving. I thought you were going to spend the rest of your life here.] The system sighed in relief.
After Ruan Li died, the Qin familyâs state was very worrying. But later he returned to normal. He handled the issues of He Shuguo and Shen Yuanzhao in an orderly manner, cleared all obstacles for the Qin family, and completed the mission.
The reason why He Shuguo targeted the Qin family was a little bit dumbfounding. In those days after Qin Cheâs mother died, He Shuguo always suspected that her death was strange.
Later, after his investigation, it was confirmed that Qin Cheâs mother was killed over the issue of a heir. But he didnât know who did it.
Since he didnât know who did it, he decided to take revenge on all of them. The murderer must be one of them.
He Shuguo probably had also transferred his anger to Qin Che. His birth caused his mother to be killed.
He didnât intend to kill Qin Che, but just wanted to destroy the Qin family and then send Qin Che abroad. However, the variable was Shen Yuanzhao, who wanted Ming Shu to die.
Such a variable caused that accident.
Qin Che grunted after a long time. âAm I the kind of person with no dream?â
[Right right right, Lord Nine has great dreams. Your dream is as unique as the bright moon in the sky.] The System didnât dare to provoke Qin Che at this moment, fearing that he might change his mind.
âHmph!â
âŚ
Ming Shu returned to the Cloud Room. After being utterly confused for a while, she yawned. âNext restaurant.â
[Do you need to take a rest?]
âNo.â I want to eat.
The Harmony System had to show Ming Shuâs data.
Name: Ming Shu
Hatred Points: 40000
***: ****
Additional Task: Failed
Ming Shu was a little surprised. âHow is it so many? Did you count it wrong?â
Isnât the additional task not completed?
âAnd whatâs the hidden part?â MMP, is it necessary to cover it with mosaics? Is it X-rated content?!
[A certain amount of Hatred Points are needed to check the hiden items.] The Harmony System explained to her.
âWell, why donât you tell me how much is that certain amount?â
[One million.]
Ming Shu gave a fake smile.
Okay. Youâre the boss.
