Chapter 292 Shanghai Fest Arc (44) : It's going to happen again

“…Say what?”

“Zixin got into an accident,” Nian repeated. “He was leaving for the airport when a truck…” he gritted his teeth, “smashed into his car. The driver and Zixin are heavily injured. It’s…” his voice cracked, “a horrible accident.”

Behind him stood Yunru who looked deathly pale. His face was as white as a sheet with tears continuously rolling down his cheeks. He also just received the news from his twin sister, Yubi, who was crying hard on the phone.

“Bro…My brother is in the hospital…A-accident…” his knees felt weak, and he almost fell when Huan firmly caught him.

Looking at his pale face unnerved her. She felt a knot tighten her heart seeing the tears in Yunru’s eyes and felt her eyes brimming with tears too. Just an hour ago, he was brightly shining with his beautiful smile.

“St-stay calm,” Huan was at a loss of how to console him. The news wasn’t easy to digest. She hesitated for a moment but then gently rubbed his arm to reassure him. “He will be fine,” she whispered.

Jun blankly stared at Nian unblinkingly. “Bro Zixin’s accident? I-It’s not possible, Bro Nian.”

Xing Bi anxiously replied. “It’s true. That’s why we need to go back.”

Jin and Ai, too, shook hard.

“No, no!” Jun grabbed Nian’s shoulder and exclaimed with a mixture of disbelief and fear in his voice. “How did this happen? Why…? This accident is not supposed to happen! Isn’t Fang Wuhan in the base?”

“He still is. But he has nothing to do with the accident. How can he when he is in our base? We are investigating who the shitty truck driver is who crashed into Zixin’s car,” his eyes displayed revenge in full light. “But we need to leave for Beijing right now. I have already arranged our private jet. It will be here in a few minutes. I have taken care of Jin’s discharge procedure too. Shui is also outside. Let’s go.”

Nian turned, and his heart ached seeing Yunru’s state. He patted his shoulder and softly said, “Come, Yunru. Zixin needs all of us.”

Yunru broke down. “Bro i-is…hospital…”

“He will be fine,” Nian sternly said, “Don’t cry like it’s over! He is your strong brother and nothing can take him down! Got it?”

The four of them quietly left, leaving Jun, Ai and Jin standing frozen at their place.

“How is this possible…?” Jun questioned and mumbled to himself. “How did I fail?”

Even Jin couldn’t make any sense of it. “It was Feng Wuhan who had planned Bro Zixin’s accident in the last life. When I heard that you captured him and the driver, I knew it was to prevent the accident from happening and protect Bro Zixin. You already took care of them so why did this accident still occur? The timeline should have been changed!” He exhaled in frustration.

Ai held Jun’s hand, who looked to be sinking more and more in despair. “Jun, it’s not your fault. Don’t make that expression as if you are blaming yourself.”

His eyelashes trembled as he looked at Ai. “Then what else should I do? I-I failed. I couldn’t protect Bro Zixin. I…I knew what was going to happen. I know from past life. But I still failed, Ai. He still got into an accident. Then,” his eyes slowly widened with realization, “does that mean in this life too, he will…lose all his memories?”

“Jun, it won’t happen again-“

“No…Bro Nian said it’s a horrible accident. The driver and Bro are heavily wounded. Just like the past life. Nothing changed. It’s going to happen again.”

‘Guiying’ stared at the lake in front of her. She stood near a tree beside the lake situated in front of GrandCastle hotel. It was this same place where MrPerfect had asked her to wait for him. ‘She’ had no interest in meeting him but at the same time, she wanted to know what he wanted to talk to her after making his relationship with Ai public.

‘She’ smiled. “Are you excited dear? The day has finally arrived. You finally get to see him or should I say his true face as he would lie through his teeth. I seriously wonder what excuses he will give us for all those little sweet nothings with which he won your heart? Let’s wait and watch.”

‘She’ waited and waited, but nobody came. It was close to three hours. The sky turned dark, but there was no sign of MrPerfect ever coming to meet her.

‘Guiying’ burst into laughter while clenching her fist. “So it was a joke, after all. All that sincerity in your message was fake. I knew it. I thought you would feed me with some lies but never did I expect that you won’t even show your face.”

‘She’ felt tears in her eyes and the pain in her chest which didn’t belong to her. The real Guiying inside her was crying.

“You still cry for him!? Stop that! You disgust me!” ‘Guiying’ ruthlessly scolded her other self.

“What’s wrong?” A voice came from her back.

‘Guiying’ heard a pair of footsteps clicking on the grass approaching her.

Zhan Yahui stood before her and asked, “Why are you crying?”

‘Guiying’ smiled. “Those are not my tears. Apparently, the fool inside me still held hopes.”

“So I guess he didn’t come.”

“I didn’t expect that certainly but then again I know how cruel MrPerfect aka Liu Jun is. If he didn’t want to meet the fool inside me, then why bother sending any letter?” Her eyes shone with a malicious glint. “But it’s okay. It only strengthens my resolve even more to completely destroy Liu Jun one day. That day…will come soon.”

‘She’ turned and left with the need of revenge burning furiously in her heart.

Left alone, Zhan Yahui watched her back and smiled. “Sure, Guiying. Destroy Liu Jun. I will help you with everything.”

She saw an incoming call on her phone and picked it up with a smile. “You did great with arranging the accident. Now with him in the hospital, I am rest assured. It would have been a big problem if Chen Zixin came to Shanghai and met Guiying. The cat would have been out of the bag. Guiying shouldn’t know that the MrPerfect sending her all the sweet gifts and letters is not Liu Jun but Chen Zixin. But he was coming and I,” her eyes flickered in the dark, “had to stop him.”
