Ou Xueman hugged him back gratefully. “No, brother. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had eight years of peaceful life. That’s enough.”
What’s meant to come will come. Since I can’t avoid it, I’ll face it bravely.
The rain outside the black umbrella seemed more ethereal in the raging wind, much like their uncertain future.
“Although my mother’s cause of death is important to me, she has passed away. Now, you and Tianli are the most important people to me. For you, I’ll stop at nothing,” Owen declared resolutely. He sighed, “Isn’t there a chance to give him one more opportunity? This time he truly has feelings for you.”
Ou Xueman lifted her head from his embrace, gazing at him silently. The confusion in her eyes gave him an answer.
He patted her head and sighed softly. “He’s in London. If anything happens, don’t be stubborn. Be sure to find him. I’m quite certain he can confront the Yamaguchi-gumi. Over the years, he seems to have gained control of the financial groups secretly supporting them. Although I’ve never known why he did this, it seems to be for Di Ying.”
“For Di Ying?” Ou Xueman was stunned, suddenly clear about her confusion.
——Dividing Line——
In London? Looking towards that direction, her eyes were covered with misty nostalgia, blurring the scenery before her. She deceived herself, thinking it was the foggy rainy day obscuring her vision.
Wiping away the mist, she inhaled the damp air and slowly walked back to her temporary residence, Tong Yifeng’s home.
Suddenly, the quiet street became agitated. Police cars were more numerous than usual, their sirens piercing the air. People rushed towards her direction, waves of unease rippling in her heart.
Her footsteps quickened. Upon seeing the area cordoned off by serious-looking police, her unease turned to fear. A white ambulance was parked outside, and medical personnel systematically entered the house.
She could wait no longer and ran towards the scene but was stopped by the police.
“Let me go; I live there. What happened?” She struggled, forgetting they wouldn’t understand Chinese.
As she prepared to ask in English, she saw medical personnel wheeling out a person covered in blood. Despite the bloodied stretcher, she recognized him immediately—it was Tong Yifeng.
