Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Hearing the noise, Xu Xia and the other two inside the coffee shop rushed out.

The three people surrounded Wen Kerou.

Xu Xia grabbed Wen Kerou's other hand.

The moment I feared most inevitably arrived.

"Ke Rou, I beg you, please hold on a little longer, don't leave so soon."

As she pleaded, tears streamed down her face.

Wen Kerou felt guilty looking at her heartbroken mother.

She is not a good daughter!

She also started crying.

"Mom, thank you for fulfilling my wish!"

Xu Xia used one hand to wipe away her daughter's tears, "Silly child, you are my precious daughter, why are you thanking me?"

She knew her daughter had something to say to Fu Zhengting, so she stepped back a little.

Fu Zhenlong and Fu Ziliu also tacitly stepped aside.

Fu Zhengting stared at Wen Kerou, waiting for her to speak.

Wen Kerou blinked her tear-filled eyes, barely able to make out Fu Zhengting's face, and slowly said, "Fu Zhengting, I love you, I have never regretted loving you..."

Fu Zhengting was deeply shocked.

Each word felt like a heavy blow, striking his heart with tremendous force.

He couldn't bear such intense love, nor could he reciprocate it.

Wen Kerou realized her breathing was about to stop, and said her last words, "I will watch over you and Mu Tiantian from heaven. You must be happy..."

I'm glad I finished speaking.

No regrets.

As she closed her eyes, tears streamed down her cheeks, and her head tilted to one side.

Fu Zhengting looked at Wen Kerou's drooping hand and knew that Wen Kerou was dead at this moment.

Her last words to you before she died were, "You must be happy!"

Such selfless love.

A slight pain shot through my heart.

It has nothing to do with love; it's just that I feel sorry for losing a very kind friend.

"Ke Rou!"

Xu Xia held the lifeless Wen Kerou and cried her heart out.

Fu Zhenlong and Fu Ziliu also had tears in their eyes.

Uncle Zhong, who rushed over, also felt a lump in his throat when he saw this scene.

He was still a step too late.

I originally planned to arrive a day earlier, but I had to postpone it because my wife was sick.

Xu Xia cried so hard that her heart was damaged, and she fainted on the spot.

As she fell, Fu Zhenlong reacted quickly and caught her.

Remembering the promise he made to his comrade-in-arms back then, he was determined to take good care of his comrade-in-arms' wife and daughter.

Now that Ke Rou is gone, Xu Xia absolutely cannot have anything else happen to her.

Just to be on the safe side, he felt he should send Ke Rou to the hospital for emergency treatment.

He asked Fu Ziliu to call an ambulance.

Fu Ziliu wanted to tell him to stop having illusions, but she didn't want to discourage her father. She also tried to deceive herself by thinking that perhaps a miracle would really happen after he was sent to the hospital.

She dialed the number with trembling hands.

Soon, the nearest hospital sent an ambulance.

Xu Xia and Wen Kerou were taken to the hospital.

Fu Zhengting rode in Uncle Zhong's car.

Fu Zhenlong rode in Fu Ziliu's car.

The father and daughter were keeping watch over Xu Xia, who was in a coma.

Fu Zhengting and Uncle Zhong waited in Wen Kerou's emergency room.

Less than ten minutes later, the doctor pushed open the door to the emergency room and came out, saying, "Prepare for the worst."

Fu Zhengting lowered his head, pressing his hands to his forehead, tormented by immense guilt.

Uncle Zhong gently patted Fu Zhengting on the back, comforting him not to be sad.

When Fu Ziliu, who came to the emergency room to check on the situation, heard the doctor's words, she burst into tears instantly. Although she knew that the cruel outcome could not be changed, she still couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope.

Hearing the crying, Fu Zhenlong ran out to see what was happening. He rushed to Fu Ziliu's side, held her on his shoulder, and comforted his daughter despite his own distress.

The scene was shrouded in immense sorrow.

Throughout the journey, Mu Tiantian checked her WeChat on her phone from time to time.

I was extremely anxious as I waited for Fu Zhengting's reply.

Before her mother could look further, she quickly sent another message.

Still no reply.

Jiang Hui also sent Fu Zhengting an emoji via WeChat.

There was no reply.

Could something have happened?

Mu Tiantian felt uneasy, so she sent a message to Uncle Zhong.

Uncle Zhong heard the message notification sound, took out his phone, and was about to check the message when the phone turned off.

I was in such a rush that I forgot to charge my phone.

Fu Zhengting was in airplane mode when he was feeling irritable, so he didn't receive the messages from Mu Tiantian and Jiang Hui in real time.

Uncle Zhong thought that if someone had an emergency, they would definitely call; sending a text message should be a minor matter.

The atmosphere at the scene was too somber, and he couldn't leave to go back to his car to charge it at that moment.

Wen Kerou was pushed out covered with a white sheet, and Fu Ziliu cried even harder.

The doctor said, "Place the body in the morgue for now, and contact the funeral company as soon as possible to handle the funeral arrangements."

Fu Ziliu watched as Wen Kerou was pushed further and further away, and wanted to rush over.

Fu Zhenlong pulled her back. "Xiao Liu, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Accept this fact."

The only thing he can do for Xu Xia now is to help her with Ke Rou's funeral arrangements.

Fu Ziliu shook her head as she cried, "How could a perfectly healthy person just die like that?"

Life is so fragile.

Fu Zhengting felt even heavier as he listened to his sister's shrill cries.

He suddenly stood up.

A wave of dizziness washed over me, and my vision suddenly blurred.

Uncle Zhong was so shocked that he quickly supported Fu Zhengting's swaying body.

He could tell from Fu Zhengting's haggard face that he hadn't rested well.

It must be because he was constantly worried that Wen Kerou might leave, so he didn't get enough rest.

He wasn't even fully recovered from his injury, yet he still overworked himself like this, which exhausted him.

He saw a doctor passing by, called out to him, and together they took Fu Zhengting into the examination room for a checkup.

Fu Zhenlong and Fu Ziliu also followed along.

Mu Tiantian and Jiang Hui both sent messages to Uncle Zhong, but neither received a reply.

The unease in their hearts grew deeper and deeper.

Mu Tiantian opened Anan's WeChat and could only send messages to Anan.

Anan is still keeping an eye on Yang Guanghui in his hometown.

But having stayed in the village for so long, he was afraid of arousing Yang Guanghui's suspicion, so he decided to leave first.

Fu Zhengting had already told him about Fu Zhenlong's meeting with Yang Guanghui.

Upon receiving the message from Mu Tiantian, I was unable to contact Fu Zhengting and Uncle Zhong.

He was even more eager to leave.

I tried calling both Uncle Zhong's and Fu Zhengting's numbers, but the calls didn't go through.

It's impossible for both to be unreachable at the same time.

Something must have happened!

His continued observation here won't do any good.

I need to get back quickly.

Anan immediately checked out and went back.

He didn't have much stuff, just a change of clothes and a backpack.

Not long after Anan left, the landlord went to Yang Guanghui's house and told him that Anan had moved out.

Yang Guanghui revealed a mocking smile.

He sensed something was wrong from the start and observed quietly. When the landlord passed by his house, he gave the landlord several hundred yuan and asked him to tell him about Anan.

He rarely goes out these days, staying at home making his own bombs.

It's finally done!

He planned to return to Nancheng ahead of time and then kidnap either Fu Zhengting's or Qin Dongyang's daughter!

Kidnapping Fu Zhengting might be too difficult, so let's kidnap Qin Dongyang's daughter first.

To avoid being discovered to have a bomb, he drove off by himself.

It's okay to go slowly; there are still three days until we meet, that's enough.
