Chapter 73

He felt like something heavy was pressed in his chest, sweat rolled in his forehead as he looked at her in alarm.

He wanted to beat himself up for letting her face this kind of danger. She was originally timid, her eyes would get red the moment he let out his annoyance.

He's still waiting, still catching up on her but she's already leaving.

Since he finally saw her, he couldn't help but scan her for any injuries, her face pale as she looks at them with a lost expression.

Heart pounding painfully inside him, his mind roared for him to go and run towards her. Hugged her small frightened frame and soothe her.

Those dreams, before this happened to him, he blamed the appearance of his emotions on his dreams.

He dreamt of a future with her, where they live happily just like those in the stories.

The gun was pointed at A'liu making Zhu Rong Heng paled even more. We do not know the reason for her actions and to see Shaoyan with these armed men makes him itch to kill her.

Shaoyan.

The moment his name came up with hers, everything fell apart. His wife, his emotions, and now, he feels like he's about to lose his life as well.

Those rumors, her pitiful nature, and her existence appearing on every occasion where he meets his wife seem like a premeditated affair.

He didn't even spare any attention to her, to him, she was just another employee. Those rumors were baseless, something that he doesn't really care about in the past but now, he wished he could collect all those rumors and burn them all.

His annoyance burned to hatred, he wants to slap himself in the head for his work.

It was real, regrets are always felt the moment you lost the one that has always been with you.

"Freeze! Put your hands above your he-" We heard the team captain shout but was cut off when a disturbing act happened.

He fired his gun towards Caia and in those seconds, I remember my heart was still like the calm of a storm before I watch the captain being held down by his comrades.

Then chaos occurred.

Everyone armed starting fighting each other, Zhu Rong Heng ran to A'liu's side but couldn't cole to her side.

I also ran to Caia's side, still avoiding the gun being fired off in all directions but it's as if an impenetrable wall was built in front of us.

We watched Caia as she went to A'liu's side and take the gun off of her hands. Then my heart began to rapidly beat when I saw her sneaking up on Shaoyan.

"No! Caia! Stop it! Don't do it, no!" I shouted for her to stop, screamed at the top of my lungs but as if she was deaf, she couldn't hear my words and continued her way to Shaoyan.

Then she pulled the trigger.

Amidst the loud and chaotic scene, her expression was calm and done with silence, as she uttered those words, my mind soon realized her meaning.

She looked at us, her eyes devoid of emotion, her very existence was as call as the moon, and then she smiled and said.

"Goodbye"

Then pulled the trigger for the second time.
