Chapter 175 - "You two are the culprits on this." (3)

Dad, how can you be so unreasonable?

Li ShiZe, too, was upset. Yage came to visit you and all you did was to hurt her. You are no longer that heroic father of mine anymore.

He could feel how hard his Jiang YaGe was clutching onto his sleeve and felt that he must protect his fragile girlfriend.

I am going to have to leave with Yage and disappear in front of you if that is how you are going to behave.

He doubted XinYun would take care of their father. He was all Li WangJin had left now. Li ShiZe doubted that his father would risk losing him and continue to antagonize Yage.

When all was said and done, how could his own son disobey him such and even threaten him over such an evil woman?

This must be karma. All these years, he had always pretended that he was in love with Fang JunRong. And now even his most beloved son was leaving him for the daughter of his enemy.

Li WangJin felt that an invisible hammer was pounding on his skull. One blow after another and, with a sharp pain to his head, his vision turned blurry all of a sudden. Guttural noises came from him and his look twitched, as though he was struggling. The very next second, he fell backward and lost consciousness.

Li ShiZe turned pale and dashed up reflexively but it was too late already.

Dad! There was fear in his voice.

***

Oh, Mom.

Fang JunRong was working on future planning of the Hair Growing Cream. First, she would need to establish a production line. Then, she would need to bring on more employees. She would be busy for a while there.

She looked up when she heard her daughters voice. Whats the matter, XinYun? Cant sleep?

She was surprised that her daughter, who had already changed into her pajamas, had changed back into her outdoor clothes.

You are going somewhere? It was already 11 oclock at night. Her daughter might like to have some fun from time to time but rarely would she leave home so late at night.

Li XinYun sniffed and said, Dad has been taken to ICU. It doesnt look good.

Fang JunRong thought she had heard wrong. Didnt you just see him earlier today and he was doing fine?

I ran into Li ShiZe going to visit him with Jiang YaGe in tow. They must have said something to him. The hospital just called and, judging from the surveillance footage, they got into some sort of a feud. Then Dad passed out.

The doctors are working on saving him right now.

She looked both worried and at loss. She didnt have much feelings left for her father but she had no ill will for him either. Her nose felt sore and tears almost streamed down her cheeks. She turned away and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Fang JunRong had a complicated look on her. That was very unexpected. The three of them got along so well in her previous life but they were enemies in this lifetime. Li WangJin was even sent to the ICU by Li ShiZe.

Pushing aside her work, she said to her, Here, Ill go with you.

She had an inkling that this might be the last time shed see Li WangJin. Itd be nice to have closure.

As it turned out, Fang JunRong couldnt have been more right.

By the time the two of them arrived at the hospital, Li WangJins surgery was already over. With an apologetic look, the doctor announced to his family that the surgery had failed to save Li WangJin.

Li ShiZe, who was in a trance, ran up and grabbed the doctor by the collar after he heard the news, his eyes reddened. It is your job to save him! What do you mean it failed?!

You must not have tried hard enough!

Give me back my father!

All of his elegance in the past was gone. His look was vicious. Jiang YaGe, standing not too far away, could barely stand up straight. She had to lean against the wall to stop herself from falling onto the floor. Her look was blank and she could no longer maintain her fragile front.

Fang JunRong was thoroughly disgusted by Li ShiZe. Walking up to him, she slapped him across his cheek. She struck him so hard that half of his face swelled up immediately.

Stop that already. You and Jiang YaGe were the culprit that had brought about your fathers death. As the actual killers here, you can stop trying to maintain your innocence.
