Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370: He’s a Fake (2)

“This is a society governed by law. No one acts as excessively as you do. You need to understand, we are the parents of two children. Before doing anything, you must think about them first.” Su Hongxing stared coldly at Ye Qilan. “Why did you suddenly want to kill Xiao Ji? What did he ever do to you?”

Su Hongxing’s question made Ye Qilan feel mocked.

After a long silence, he finally uttered with difficulty, “Su Hongxing, you make me feel unsafe.”

Su Hongxing didn’t expect Ye Qilan to give such a response. For a moment, she was at a loss for words, unsure of how to reply.

“I’ve given you the answer you wanted. Any more questions?” Ye Qilan pressured Su Hongxing, pointing at her chest. “Ask your heart. What is it truly thinking? What’s residing within it? If it weren’t for Xiao Ji blocking my path, do you think I would have entertained thoughts of killing him?”

Ye Qilan’s aggressive questioning made Su Hongxing’s face flush. “But you can’t kill someone! Killing is against the law…”

“Against the law? What a colossal joke! So many people have wronged us. Our children died, you were murdered. Did the ones who harmed us ever face justice under the law?” Ye Qilan retorted.

Su Hongxing was speechless, unable to come up with a rebuttal.

“When Ye Qilan died, did the law ever punish Lin Zhi?” Ye Qilan questioned again.

“So what? Just because others commit crimes, you want to follow in their footsteps? How are you any different from those people then? Yes, the world is full of injustices, but killing so impulsively and thinking you’re in the right–I can’t agree with that.” Su Hongxing paused before continuing, “And also, please think about accumulating blessings for the two children. I don’t want them to grow up one day and discover that their father is, in fact, a murderer.”

The words “murderer” pierced through Ye Qilan’s heart like daggers. “So, you’re despising me now?”

She could ruthlessly kill herself–why couldn’t he ruthlessly destroy those who deserved their fate?

All he wanted was to seek justice for his family. Was that so wrong?

“Don’t forget, you’re a murderer too. You killed yourself, and you did it right in front of me! Su Hongxing, you’re actually far more ruthless than I am! You will never understand just how much pain I felt the moment you jumped from the Red Building.”

With that, Ye Qilan turned and stormed away.

Staring at Ye Qilan’s resolute departing figure, Su Hongxing stood there for a long time before coming to her senses. She hurried downstairs in pursuit, but she was already too late to catch up with him.

She thought back to Ye Qilan’s expression just now and his words. Suddenly, she realized that he might have been right.

The cruelest person was her. She had left him in the most heartless and final way, forcing him to endure years of pain alone. She wasn’t Ye Qilan, so how could she possibly understand just how excruciating it had been for him?

“Sis, Xiao Ji is awake,” Jiang Su’s voice rang out behind Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing snapped out of her thoughts and forced herself to pull it together. “Why did you come down too?”

“I noticed you and brother-in-law still hadn’t returned, and Xiao Ji just woke up as well. So I came down to look for you specifically. Ever since Xiao Ji woke up, he’s been asking for you. Sis, come with me to check on him.”

“Let’s go.” Su Hongxing took the lead heading upstairs.

She walked into the hospital room, and as soon as Xiao Ji saw her, he immediately grew agitated.

She slowly walked to his bedside and sat down. “Xiao Ji, don’t get worked up. By tomorrow, you’ll be able to speak. You’re too badly injured now, so don’t aggravate your wounds. You need to recuperate properly.”

Xiao Ji was far too weak to say a word, yet his gaze never left her, fixed upon her with intensity…
