Chapter 225 - You will kill him!

He kept punching, and neither Callum nor Luo Guangying attempted to stop him at first. To them, Xiao Zhihao had the right to do it. His best friend lost her life a long time ago, and yet he had been kept in the dark the whole time. The messages that he thought were sent to Yun Qi turned out to be a lie. 

Callum and Luo Guangying were going to let things be, however, when they noticed that the man was unconscious and was bleeding from his ears, nose, and mouth, Luo Guangying moved in to pull the screaming, raging boy back from him, while Callum nonchalantly pulled the man away before dropping him in a puddle of dirty rainwater.  

"Stop it! You'll kill him!" Luo Guangying yelled so that Xiao Zhihao could hear him over the rain as well as his own anger. 

"LET ME KILL HIM!" Xiao Zhihao screamed as he struggled against Luo Guangying. He had so many things that he wanted to do with Yun Qi. He had been trying so hard to be strong so that he could be a man worthy to be with her one day and to protect his mother. 

But he could not do anything. "ARGH!"  

When he could not escape from Luo Guangying, he raised his fist and tried to land a punch on the man holding him, but Luo Guangying quickly avoided him. 

"You can't! Think about Xiao Lei! Your mother!" Luo Guangying snapped as he tried to talk some sense into Xiao Zhihao. "What is she going to do if you get taken away from her?!" 

Even though Luo Guangying had no qualms about killing a despicable man, to him, the boy was still innocent and that he should not be tainted by the darkness of society so early on in his life. They could easily cover up the murder, but that did not mean that they should. 

Besides, the man still had a son. Even if Luo Guangying did not like Yun Wei after their last encounter, he did not think that it was right for them to kill him as well. 

When Xiao Zhihao heard his mother's name, he yelled out in frustration, "This is not fair! This is not fair!!!" 

THAK! 

Xiao Zhihao's eyes went wide open before his body slumped forward. 

Luo Guangying caught Xiao Zhihao's body before the unconscious boy fell down. He then looked at Callum, who then said, "It's easier. He's too agitated to listen to reason now. Besides..." 

He glanced at the "grave" and said with a grim voice, "He shouldn't witness this. I've called for the cops, and they are on the way now." 

Of course, he had called the cops only after beating the sh*t out of the man. He had wanted to just beat the man to death, but he could not, not when there was someone watching. 

Besides, no matter what, Xiao Zhihao would be the older brother of his child/children in the future, so to Callum, Xiao Zhihao was also somewhat part of his family. He would not want a young member of his family to witness his best friend slightly decomposed body being dug out from under the soil. 

Luo Guangying agreed. This was not something for a young teen to watch. He then looked at Xiao Zhihao's fists, which were bleeding from the punches he gave Yun Qi and Yun Wei's father earlier. "I'll send him to the hospital first." 

Callum agreed. This place was not exactly safe, and he did not want Luo Guangying to stay here any longer. "I'll stay here until the cops arrive."

Luo Guangying looked at the gun that Callum placed in the back of his jeans. He was wondering if he should take the gun with him, but since Callum had the license to carry and that this was a dangerous neighborhood, he felt that it would be better for Callum to hold on to it.

"Stay safe. I'll see you at home," Luo Guangying said while Callum helped to place Xiao Zhihao on Luo Guangying's shoulder so that he could carry the boy properly. 

"I will," Callum replied before putting a kiss on Luo Guangying's cheek unconsciously. 

....

Once Luo Guangying finished explaining the whole thing, he said with a sigh, "So, that's what happened." 

He signaled for the doctor and nurses to leave the room. 

"Is Zhihao ok?" Xiao Lei asked worriedly. When Luo Guangying said that something had happened to Xiao Zhihao earlier, Han Ye had informed her and they were both listening to Luo Guangying through the loudspeaker. 

"His right hand is bandaged, and there are some bruises. Other than that, in terms of his physical body, he should be fine. But in terms of his mental state..." Luo Guangying replied with a sigh. As he glanced at the sleeping boy, he added, "Once he wakes up, if the doctor allows it, I'll bring him back to my place first." 

Han Ye glanced at Xiao Lei, whose face was twisted with worry, and he said to Luo Guangying, "We are coming back right now." 

Xiao Lei looked at him. "It's a long drive," she said uncertainly. She definitely wanted to get back to her son immediately, but Han Ye had been up since early morning without any rest, and she was worried about his health as well. 

"I'd be fine. This is not my first overnighter," Han Ye said to reassure her. But when he saw that she was still worried, he added, "I'll call for the helicopter."

"How?"

"I have my way."

As President Du's assistant, he had the privilege of using the Du Family's private helicopters. 

He then picked up the phone and turned off the loudspeaker function. He put it to his ear and said, "We are coming back right now. Please take care of Zhihao for us until then. Send me a message if you're bringing him home with you."

"I will." 

Once he ended the call, Han Ye looked at Xiao Lei and said, "I'm sorry this had to happen."

She shook her head. When she thought about Yun Qi, who was always an obedient and kind girl despite her upbringing, she could not help but shed a tear for the teenage girl. "Why did bad things have to happen to good people?" 

Han Ye did not know the answer to that. He once asked the same question as well, when Wu Yuexue met with the accident, but there was no answer to that. Even DX asked the same question before, when he found out what happened to Kai Xin, but there was just no answer. 

If Han Ye had to answer, he would probably say that it was fate. A terrible and cruel fate played by the gods to test one's mental strength. 

He gently patted Xiao Lei's back and said in a soft voice, "Let's go pack up now."

After checking out of the hotel and pay for the damages they caused, Han Ye bought some energy drinks from a nearby convenience store before starting the journey. He had to drive to a place an hour away, where the helicopter could land safely. Once there, they had to wait for the arrival of the helicopter as there were checks to be done. 

About 30 minutes into the flight, Han Ye received a message from Luo Guangying that stated that he was bringing Xiao Zhihao back to his place. Therefore, the helicopter had to change its direction.

Another hour later, they arrived back in Imperial City, and Han Ye immediately got a car and drove to Luo Guangying and Callum's shared apartment.  

An hour later, they arrived at Luo Guangying and Callum's shared apartment, and Xiao Lei knocked hurriedly on the door. 

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

The moment Luo Guangying opened the apartment door, Xiao Lei grabbed his left hand tightly and asked frantically, "Is he awake?" 

When Han Ye saw that, he immediately reached out and took her hands away from Luo Guangying's hand. Otherwise, with Luo Guangying's behavior, he would just silently endure the pain.

Luo Guangying nodded at Han Ye to thank him. He then shook his head at Xiao Lei. "He had just fallen asleep."
