Chapter 314 I Will Kill You if She Dies
“Bai Rong, if you dare to jump down, I swear I’ll let Bai Bing, Liu Yan, and everyone you care about die with you,” Su Xuyan warned.
She smiled as tears streamed down her cheeks. “The people I care about…include you.”
He was stunned. It was as if his soul was shaken by the words she had just said, putting him into a trance.
Without any hesitation, she leaped down the boat.
Her body crashed through the surface of the sea, and in an instant all she could feel was pain.
But it is nothing comparable to the pain in her heart. So, it doesn’t matter.
She watched herself descend slowly down the water. The surroundings were so quiet that she could hear the gurgling sound in her ears, and the clear blue sea seemed to be able to wash away all the filth off a person.
Finally, I am dying. If I knew that I would still be suffering so much, I wouldn’t have chosen to live three years ago. Too bad that I’ve dragged Gu Mingchen into this mess. It’s all because of my obsession, my selfishness, my misfortune, and my fault entirely. If there is another life in the future, I would definitely not cause him any trouble again.
As more and more oxygen left her lungs, she instinctively inhaled and the seawater gushed down into her lungs, causing a surge of intense pain from her esophagus to her lungs, and brain, and the whole of her. Dying hurts.
The longer she stayed, the heavier she felt. She eventually let the water take her as the current pushed down on her from all sides. Before she let out her last breath, she vaguely saw Su Xuyan swimming towards her.
When Su Xuyan saw her figure in front of him, he immediately swam faster. The thought of her dying made his heart ached. Grabbing her shoulders, he swam towards the surface.
Two minutes later, Bai Rong was brought out of the sea.
She looked lifeless with her pale face and purple lips.
Su Xuyan started to panic. Shaking her shoulders, he said, “Bai Rong, don’t die. I don’t allow you to die. Do you hear me? if you die, I’ll let Gu Mingchen pay for it. Wake up now and I’ll ask them to let him go. Can you hear me?”
But she remained silent and motionless.
“Commander Su.” His subordinate let down the ladder.
He held her with one of his hands and climbed up the ladder. With his subordinates’ help, he successfully hauled her up the boat.
He immediately laid her down and performed ten rounds of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Still, Bai Rong showed no sign of life.
Nonetheless, he persisted to resuscitate her. I won’t stop until she wakes up.
After a long time, she finally coughed out a mouthful of water.
Su Xuyan looked at her, overjoyed.
But the glow in his eyes turned dim as he found that she was still unconscious.
Two days had passed.
Sitting by Bai Rong’s bedside, Su Xuyan stared at her gloomily.
The doctor said that she was clinically well, and there was no accumulation of fluid in her lungs or brain. But she did not open her eyes.
“Rong, I have good news for you. None of my subordinates have returned from the island, so Gu Mingchen is probably still alive,” he said.
Yet, she gave no response and continued to stay still like a beautiful sculpture.
He sighed and stroked her head. “Previously, I wanted you to be by my side and leave Gu Mingchen. You’re finally here now, but you decide to stay with your condition like this. You’ve said that I don’t love you. But if I don’t have feelings for you, why do I do so many things for you? There are many people out there who are better than you. They’re prettier, younger, and fitter. Besides, you’re bad-tempered. All in all, you’re not qualified to be my toy. We’re no longer young; I don’t have time to play games anymore. Rong, I really love you, so don’t worry. I won’t let you die. Even if you’re in a vegetative state, I will stay with you forever.”
All he got was silence.
Right then, someone knocked on the door.
He looked at the door, displeased. “Come in.”
“Commander, Gu Mingchen is back. He’s now outside with his people and he’s asking for somebody from you,” Su Xuyan’s subordinate, Hu Lan, reported.
He smirked. “Who does he think he is? This is my place. I’m not going to listen to him. How many people and weapons does he have?”
“There are about hundreds of people and all are equipped with weapons. He even has ten tanks outside.” Hu Lan looked worried.
“What are you afraid of? Are my people and weapons not powerful? Kill anyone who dares to enter my villa,” he ordered sternly.
“Commander.” Hu Lan immediately lowered his head and voiced out his opinion, “I don’t think that an unconscious person is worth the fight.”
When Su Xuyan heard his words, he stood up and slapped him. “Not worth the fight? The unconscious person lying on the bed is my wife. Listen to my order and be prepared for the battle.”
Just then, Su Xuyan’s phone rang, interrupting their conversation. Upon seeing that it was a call from the commander-in-chief, he answered it.
“Xuyan, what’s happening? I know Gu Mingchen is outside your house now with his army. Who are you hiding in your place?” the commander-in-chief asked, perplexed.
“He wants my wife. If I give him my wife, I will lose my dignity. I won’t give him what he wants, so let’s fight the battle,” Su Xuyan replied determinedly.
“No, Xu Yan. Listen to me. Internal conflict will not only affect our unity and attract speculation from other parties, but also cause unwanted global attention and other countries might take advantage of it. Ultimately, A City’s reputation would be tarnished. Therefore, I’m against having a battle with Gu Mingchen. Both of you should talk it out. Besides, he is very stubborn. He insisted that I was the one who ordered you to make him a scapegoat for the previous issue. After all, he is the leader of the Special Forces, and your actions represent my stand. Hence, if you can’t settle the issue with him within half an hour, I’ll withdraw my armed forces from you.”
Su Xuyan read between the lines at once. “You mean you’ll help Gu Mingchen instead of me?”
“I’m not helping Gu Mingchen, but the battle between you and him will definitely affect our internal unity. So, the only thing I can do to maintain peace is to withdraw the armed forces from your side.”
Su Xuyan understood his words and snorted.
The army of the Special Forces only listens to the orders of Gu Mingchen. Not even the commander-in-chief can mobilize them. That’s why he is more afraid of offending Gu Mingchen than me. To put it bluntly, I’m just a pawn of the commander-in-chief and I know that many people can substitute me to work for him. Thus, at a critical moment like this, no wonder the commander-in-chief will sacrifice me.
With such thoughts, he strutted out of his villa.
Gu Mingchen also got off his car when he saw Su Xuyan arrived.
He stood in front of Gu Mingchen and cut to the chase. “Do you know why Bai Rong doesn’t choose to be with you after you’re released?”
“Bai Rong has chosen to stay with me. But now you’ve forcibly imprisoned her. Su Xuyan, I must take her away from here today,” Gu Mingchen said firmly.
“Take her away? Do you want to bring away a corpse?” he said insidiously.
Gu Mingchen’s eyes flashed with anger. “If she dies, I’ll kill you.”
“Earlier on, she begged for my help to save you. And one of the conditions I had for her was to inject her with poison. Now I’m the only one who can save her. If you want her to die, take her away. But if you want her to live, get out of here!”
