During this time, Mei Yu’s mother fell ill, nearly dying, lying unconscious. No matter how Mei Yu knocked on the door, cried, or pleaded with the guards, they refused to let her mother out. One of the leaders even told Mei Yu, “It’s not that we don’t want to save her, but without orders, she must die, and we’ll all die too.”
Mei Yu’s mother understood the strict rules of the Tian clan – once a rule was set, it would be absolutely enforced. She called Mei Yu to the warehouse door, made her sit beside her, and said, “Daughter, this is how the Tian clan is. You could stand here and die, scream, exhaust yourself, but without orders, they won’t care.” Pulling the desperate Mei Yu into her arms, she smiled and said, “Come, stay with mother. It’s okay. Even if I die now, it’s fine. I’ve already lived past that day in the hospital. I’ve seen you grow up, so I’m at peace. When you get out, take good care of yourself…”
Mei Yu cried, pulling away from her mother’s embrace, covering her mother’s mouth and shaking her head. “Mom… you won’t die. We’ll definitely get out… definitely…” Looking at her extremely weak mother, a heart-wrenching pain tore through her.
After a while, the chubby guy happily hummed a little tune, holding the warehouse door key, and walked to the warehouse entrance.
Standing at the door while unlocking, he suddenly felt something was wrong – the warehouse that was previously noisy was now completely silent.
The chubby guy hurriedly inserted the key, unlocked the lock, and pulled the thick iron door. As he pulled the door and leaned inside, Meiyou had already collapsed inside.
Meiyou, weak and exhausted, had leaned against the door to rest for a moment, but she passed out. When the chubby guy pulled the door, she fell to the ground.
Seeing Meiyou unconscious, he was startled and jumped up, quickly rushing out of the door and shouting to the duty room to come and rescue her.
The chairman had said not to let them die. If they died, he would be in serious trouble. He had thought Meiyou was trying to trick them earlier, but something had really happened.
