Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"But I... I didn't mean to hurt him. I really didn't... Why did things turn out like this? Why? Waaah..."

As she spoke, the young woman began to cry.

Tears streamed down my face.

Drop by drop, it fell onto her man's cheek.

If it were a normal day,

Perhaps, her man will truly be awakened by her warm tears.

But tonight—

Her man will never wake up again.

"I have a question. I'm not sure if I should ask it?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Bei couldn't help but chuckle and bring it up.

"Ask away!"

"You and my brother—"

"I did consider it, but you ruined it all."

"I knew it!" Hearing this, Liu Bei was even more glad that he had stopped Fan Ha'er in time.

"Brother Bei, the police are here, they're right behind us!"

Just then, Fan Ha'er's voice came from outside the door.

The voice just fell,

Fan Ha'er rushed in.

When he saw the young woman holding a man who was still bleeding, his whole body stiffened.

His eyes were fixed intently on the young woman's body, and he remained motionless.

"Brother Bei, she—"

"They're a couple," Liu Bei explained. "Let them stay a little longer!"

With a sigh, Liu Bei pulled Fan Ha'er outside.

Throughout the journey, Fan Ha'er's eyes never stopped sizing up the young woman.

"Comrade Liu Bei, we meet again!"

Just as I came out, two police officers approached, and two others were questioning a stranger and taking his statement.

"What's the situation inside?" a policeman asked.

"The shop owner is dead. His wife is holding him and talking to him—"

"Let's go in and take a look!" The two policemen quickly walked over.

"Brother Bei, I want to—"

"Shut up!"

"But I really want to—"

"I told you to shut up, didn't you—"

Before the word "understand" could be uttered, a sigh suddenly came from inside the shop.

"Um?"

Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er both looked over at the same time.

"Comrade Liu Bei, come in here for a moment. Quickly!"

As soon as this word comes out,

Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er rushed into the shop at almost the same time.

Upon entering,

Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er were both stunned.

Because the young woman was holding a dagger in her right hand, and there was a bloody gash on her neck, she was bleeding, indicating that she had committed suicide after he left.

"Brother Bei, she...she...how did she become like this?"

Seeing this, Fan Ha'er was filled with disbelief. He rushed over, pulled the two policemen aside, and immediately hugged the young woman, covering her bleeding neck with his hands.

While trying to stop the bleeding from the young woman's neck, he kept asking, "Why? Why? Why?"

"You—you—are so stupid—so stupid—haha—"

Seeing Fan Ha'er's tense face and worried expression, the young woman smiled a few times and then fell silent.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't fall asleep!"

"Speak up, talk to me! Say something!"

"Brother Bei, what's wrong with her? What happened to her? Why isn't she saying anything?"

Fan Ha'er frantically swayed the young woman while frantically asking why.

Looking at Fan Ha'er's crazed appearance,

Liu Bei then realized that Fan Ha'er had truly developed feelings for the young woman.

If he hadn't stopped Fan Ha'er back then

Perhaps... this scene wouldn't have happened.

But did he really do something wrong?

"Comrade Fan Ha'er, the dead cannot be brought back to life, please accept our condolences!" A policeman said, trying to pull Fan Ha'er away.

"Get away! Don't pull me! Get away! Don't pull me!!!"

Fan Ha'er quickly shook off the policeman and hugged the young woman tightly in his arms, calling out desperately.

"Comrade Liu Bei, look at Comrade Fan Ha'er—"

"Let him and her spend some time alone!" Seeing his good friend's heartbroken look, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

"this--"

The two police officers exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Okay! Let's wait outside!"

After a while,

Liu Bei and two police officers came out.

Chen Shunzi leaned closer. "What's going on inside?"

"That woman committed suicide for love!" Liu Bei said.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shunzi was utterly astonished. "She...she would commit suicide for love?"

"Impossible! You're lying! You're lying, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the stranger frantically rushed towards Liu Bei, but was held back tightly by two police officers.

"Do I need to talk nonsense about something like this?" Liu Bei looked over, his face grim. "You are responsible for her death. If you hadn't been lusting after her beauty, hadn't taken advantage of her husband's absence, hadn't been caught having an affair with her, and then killed her husband, would she have felt guilty? Would she have felt so guilty that she committed suicide for love?"

"I...I..."

"Haha~ Haha~" Suddenly, Fan Ha'er's loud laughter came from inside the shop.

"not good!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards the shop.

"Hey, please don't do anything foolish!"

"That woman isn't worth it!"

"Please don't!!!"

Liu Bei was extremely anxious throughout the journey.

The two policemen saw Liu Bei rush over and quickly gave chase.

The next moment, Liu Bei rushed into the shop.

Upon entering,

He saw Fan Ha'er place the young woman's body next to the shop owner, and even deliberately put their hands together so that they could hold hands.

"Hey, what are you doing—"

"Brother Bei, you're right. We're not a good match."

"Huh?" Liu Bei was stunned, not expecting Fan Ha'er to have come to this conclusion.

"The two of them are a perfect match!" Fan Ha'er added.

"Ha'er, are you...are you alright?" Something was definitely amiss, and Liu Bei, somewhat worried, quickly stepped forward.

"Brother Bei, I'm fine. Really fine!" Fan Ha'er shook her head. "I really feel like we're not right for each other!"

"Hey, don't scare me like that. If something's wrong, don't keep it to yourself, tell me!" Liu Bei was still very worried.

Fan Ha'er smiled and said, "Brother Bei, I know you're worried about me. But you really don't need to be like this!"

"I've really figured it out. She and I are just not right for each other!"

"because--"

After a pause, Fan Ha'er glanced at the young woman, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

After a long pause, he spoke again, saying, "Because I really like her. I won't object to anything she likes!"

Liu Bei: "..."

He was very surprised to hear this.

I never imagined that such words would come from the mouth of a fool like Fan Ha'er.

Because this saying is very similar to that line often seen on TV in my past life: "If you love her, you should love everything about her and be willing to give up everything for her."

"Are you really alright?"

"It's okay, I'm really okay. I'm perfectly fine." Fan Ha'er looked away and smiled again.

Liu Bei immediately went over and hugged Fan Ha'er tightly.

Immediately, Fan Ha'er burst into tears.

Tears and snot dripped all over Liu Bei's shoulder.

"Brother Bei, I'm an idiot, I'm really a huge idiot, don't you think so... don't you think so..."

Liu Bei: "..."

This time, he fell completely silent.

He never imagined that his good friend Fan Ha'er's love for the young woman would be so deep.

There was once a division commander named Fan Ha'er who was like this.

Fan Ha'er is still the same now.

Does that mean that every fool, as long as they fall in love with the woman they love, will be this deeply affectionate?
