So he calmly said, "It's been a while since I've seen you, so I thought I'd call and ask where you've been lately?"

Song Runrun seemed to be thinking or confirming something on the phone before she said, "Overseas."

These three words are quite unusual, as they neither specify the country nor the exact location.

Xu Fan didn't think too much about it. He simply said quietly, "You're abroad? I'd like to see you."

After saying that, Xu Fan tentatively asked, "When will you be back?"

Song Runrun said, "Does Superstar Brother want to see me? I'm available anytime. I'll be back right now. Where shall we meet?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan quickly replied, "No rush, you..."

"My superstar brother called me, how could I not come? Tell me, where do we meet?"

Song Runrun's earnest reply caused Xu Fan to pause his thoughts.

This seems to make no problem, because in my memory, Song Runrun has always been the one who likes to stick to me.

Although they didn't actually meet that many times, perhaps only a few times, the relationship between the two of them was always one where Song Run clung to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan had no doubts about this. After simply giving an address, Song Runrun said she could arrive the next day.

Xu Fan did not object, but sitting at home, he thought about it again and again and was still a little worried about Xia Ziling's parents.

No one could accept the sudden news of their daughter's death.

If I leave so brazenly, how am I supposed to explain this to Xia Ziling if something happens to them?

Filled with self-reproach, Xu Fan headed back towards Xia Ziling's house.

Unlike his previous visit to Xia Ziling's home, when he held Xia Ziling's urn, the feeling in his heart was extremely somber.

Now, he is filled with self-blame, but even more so with lingering fear. He worries about what will happen if Xia Ziling's parents can't handle it.

Although he was the one who caused Xia Ziling's death, he ultimately had to understand her situation.

Xu Fan walked through the suburban villa area of ​​Zhonghai, following the path towards Villa No. 7, which was Xia Ziling's home.

When Xu Fan arrived at Xia Ziling's house again, he stood at the door and could not hear a sound.

But he still rang the doorbell, and it rang for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Xu Fan pressed the button again, but it remained completely silent.

Xu Fan frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him. Since he had been here once before, the security guards in the villa area had all seen him before, so they didn't suspect anything.

Xu Fan looked through the window but saw nothing. His bad premonition grew stronger. He went to the window next to him and looked inside again.

Upon looking, he saw two people lying on the sofa in the distance, embracing each other, with Xia Ziling's urn next to them. At that moment, Xu Fan was stunned.

His eyes were filled with anger and regret, and even more so with self-blame. The power amplified by the music punch erupted completely at this moment, smashing the glass with a single punch.

Blood flowed from his fist, but Xu Fan felt nothing. He jumped up and went into the room.

A strong smell of natural gas wafted over, startling Xu Fan. He grabbed a towel and covered his mouth before heading towards Zhou Qi and the other person.

If it weren't for the musical punches and the system's support, Xu Fan even doubted he would have fainted as soon as he entered.

As they walked over, they noticed the smell of natural gas was very strong. They grabbed Xia Ziling's father, intending to help him out.

But before that, he grabbed the gas switch next to him and turned it off.

Xu Fan frowned deeply, and he could truly sense the two people's unwavering determination to die, because they had found a gas switch for tea in the living room and turned it on.

After Xu Fan turned off the switch, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly helped Zhou Qi to leave.

As he was leaving, he saw a letter on the table addressed to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed them, but he didn't have time to look and quickly prepared to send the two out.

The sound of Xu Fan smashing the glass finally caught the attention of the security guards, who quickly rushed over to the villa.

When Xu Fan opened the door, he saw some security guards holding sticks.

But the security guards were shocked when they saw the wrinkles Xu Fan was supporting and the strong smell of natural gas wafting from inside the door.

In an instant, the security guards rushed over, some providing first aid, some making phone calls, and others rescuing people.

A dozen or so people quickly searched the house and found no other people or animals besides the two people who were helped up.

This means that the two of them had truly made the decision to die. Perhaps, when they saw their daughter Xia Ziling leave, they had already made all the preparations.

Often, the decision to make a choice is actually quite simple.

For Zhou Qi and her husband, Xia Ziling is their only daughter.

They truly loved her to the extreme, so when they learned the news, all they felt was despair.

Endless darkness is the ultimate despair.

Xu Fan was still shaken and completely bewildered. He followed the ambulance to the hospital.

Xia Ziling's father is no ordinary person; he is a tycoon in the domestic real economy, with immense wealth, the kind of person whose riches rival those of a country.

Xia Ziling's family background is indeed very good, so she is very well-known throughout Zhonghai.

Or rather, his name is very famous throughout the country, but the problem is that, from a national perspective, he is just a wealthy man.

But to many people in China Overseas, he is not just a wealthy man; more importantly, he is an outstanding entrepreneur.

Xu Fan followed the ambulance to the hospital, and both of them were taken to the emergency room.

Xu Fan was sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor, looking somewhat dejected.

Xia Ziling's departure and her parents' suicide—these were things I could have prevented, but I just couldn't.

Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, Xu Fan was so overwhelmed by the emotions that he was on the verge of collapse.

He had never felt so exhausted before. He had been lost, sad, and had experienced many things in the past.

But when all of this was laid bare before him, and a flood of information overwhelmed his own thoughts, he realized that everything had changed.

When he silently took out the letter addressed to "Xu Fan," he thought for a moment and then opened it.

He didn't know why Xia Ziling's letter of guilt was only left for herself, and not for their relatives.

The letter wasn't written on any kind of stationery; you could tell it was just torn from a random piece of paper.

He carefully read every word in the letter.

Xu Fan, please forgive my anger just now.

I don't know if I can understand the grief of losing my daughter. When I heard the news, all I could think about was leaving this world with my daughter.

The meaning of our existence in this world is actually for Lingling, but when Lingling leaves this world, we lose the meaning of living.

I know you will come back. Lingling has told us more than once how outstanding you are.

We all know you're a good child. Live bravely. We just want to be with my poor daughter. Don't save us.

When Xu Fan saw the last line of text, he completely broke down.

That phrase, "Don't save me," was truly heartbreaking.

He knew perfectly well that this was their last belief, but he still didn't do it because life is priceless.

Sometimes, the meaning of "or" has other aspects that we have never seen before.

At this moment, Xu Fan could only pray that all of this could be protected in a simple way.

As long as I don't have any problems with the final demerit, the process is sometimes really not that important.

Xu Fan looked up and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the words "Resuscitation in Progress" on the door of the emergency room.

He didn't know what the final outcome would be, but he hoped everything would turn out alright.

Xu Fan silently prayed that everything would go smoothly.

An hour and a half later, Xia Ziling's father was out of danger.

Two hours later, Xia Ziling's mother, Zhou Qi, was out of danger.

Xu Fan didn't go into the ward to see, but just looked out the window for a long time until the doctor came out and a greeting interrupted Xu Fan's thoughts.

"Sir, Mr. Xia would like to invite you in for a moment."

The doctor's voice was simple, but it instantly brought Xu Fan to his senses. After nodding repeatedly, he stepped inside.

The air was quiet, and Xu Fan didn't know how to face the two of them.

But when he saw the two people sitting together, pale-faced and waiting for his hand, he still mustered up his courage and went in, asking, "Uncle, Aunt, are you feeling better?"

Mr. Xia sat up straight, looked at Xu Fan, took a deep breath, and said, "I don't know whether I should say thank you, or..."

Xu Fan quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I..."

Xia's father shook his head and said, "I know it has nothing to do with you, so I don't blame you. Don't blame your uncle for being a little impulsive before."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "It's all my fault, I..."

Xia Ziling's mother, Zhou Qi, reached out and grabbed Xu Fan's arm, saying, "My daughter always tells me how great Xu Fan is, how great his songs are, but she has never met you. I'm sorry, this is how it is on our first meeting."

Xu Fan suddenly didn't know what to say, so Zhou Qi said, "Thank you, Xiao Fan."

Xu Fan was slightly taken aback, and Zhou Qi continued, "It was like having a dream, experiencing death. I don't know how to describe the process, but I felt her."

Xia's father nodded seriously, then looked at Xu Fan and said, "We don't blame you, we just miss her very much."

Xu Fan said earnestly, "I know, I miss her too, it's all my fault."

At this moment, Xu Fan's emotions were somewhat out of control.

If they all blamed him, it might be better, but the sudden forgiveness left him at a loss, and that feeling was really hard to explain.

The sudden breakdown stunned Xia Ziling's parents.

Xia's father quickly patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Fan, I don't have any other children. Please come and visit us more often in the future."

Xu Fan nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come to see you. You must take good care of yourselves."

These are the words Xu Fan can repeat the most. Facing Xia Ziling's parents, Xu Fan feels a deep sense of guilt.

At this moment, Zhou Qi spoke up again: "Xiao Fan, you really don't need to blame yourself. We already know, but we didn't expect things to be so serious, so we don't blame you. None of this has anything to do with you. We know it's her own business, her own choice."

Xu Fan nodded. He looked at the two of them, both of them pale, and wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Just then, Xia's father suddenly reached out and handed Xu Fan a box, then said, "Go back."
