237 The Ruan Family’s End
Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned in disbelief toward the direction of the sound.
She didn’t know when, but Ruan Xiaoshuang had a gun in her hand.
Her hands trembled slightly, and the palm that was holding the gun was already drenched in cold sweat.
However, she was holding the gun so tightly that her fingers were white.
Ruan Cheng’s expression was one of rage. “Ruan Xiaoshuang!”
Even Shao Jin was in disbelief. He looked as if he had been struck by lightning. “Second Miss, who are you going to kill? Is it Master Cheng?”
“Big Brother, I’m sorry.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s expression was extremely guilty, and she was struggling with her emotions. “We owe the Sang family too much. Big Brother, just let Sang Minglang go…”
Ruan Cheng’s face darkened as he strode over to Ruan Xiaoshuang.
“So you want to kill Big Brother, huh?”
Ruan Cheng’s voice was cold. “I’m right in front of you. Well? Shoot me!”
Ruan Xiaoshuang stumbled back, her body trembling violently and her eyes red. “Big Brother, I don’t want this to happen either, but nothing can happen to Minglang…”
Ruan Cheng reached out to grab Ruan Xiaoshuang’s wrist and tried to remove the gun from her hand.
Ruan Xiaoshuang refused to let go and cried out in pain, “Big Brother, don’t force me!”
Ruan Cheng’s face was grim, his eyes dark. “Either you give me the gun, or you pull the tri–”
Before the word “trigger” came out of his mouth, a loud ‘Bang!’ was heard.
A gunshot rang out.
Warm blood instantly splattered all over Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face.
She was instantly stunned. Her entire body swayed, and her face turned pale.
Ruan Cheng was at a loss for a moment.
He lowered his head to look at his chest. There was a blood-red wound there, and blood was gurgling out.
Shao Jin had already rushed over to support Ruan Cheng. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he shouted at Ruan Xiaoshuang, “Second Miss, Master Cheng is your Big Brother. How could you really shoot him!!!”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was like a leaf blown by a storm, trembling violently.
The gun in her hand fell to the ground. She fumbled over to help Ruan Cheng up, tears rolling down her face.
Ruan Cheng couldn’t stand still and fell down. Shao Jin’s eyes were red. “Master Cheng!”
A figure who had just reached the top of the mountain rushed over like a gust of wind. The person was still gasping for breath, and it was obvious that he had run all the way up.
Without another word, he squatted down and examined Ruan Cheng’s wound.
“Shi’an, how is it?” Shao Jin asked anxiously.
Xie Shi’an shook his head. He looked at Ruan Cheng with a dim and complicated gaze.
No matter how much he hated Ruan Cheng for controlling his life and destroying everything he wanted, Ruan Cheng was still his and his sister’s benefactor. All these years, he had taken care of him like an older brother, tolerated him, and tried to do his best.
Regardless of whether Xie Shi’an was willing to accept this as a favor or not, Ruan Cheng had always treated him well.
No matter how much Xie Shi’an hated Ruan Cheng, he did not want him to die.
Even if he had convinced the police to come up the mountain, he had only wanted to tell Ruan Cheng not to hurt Shen Hanyu and to not escape.
By the time Shen Hanyu went up the mountain, the police had already made the most thorough arrangements.
The surrounding snipers were densely packed, and everyone on the top of the mountain was already under their control.
If Ruan Cheng or his men made any dangerous moves, the police would shoot.
Unfortunately, he was still one step too late.
Xie Shi’an’s eyes were red as he pressed on Ruan Cheng’s wound, trying to stop the bleeding.
This action actually made Ruan Cheng’s eyes reveal some gratification.
“I didn’t think that I would be able to see you again before I die.”
He opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice stammering. “Shi’an, manage the Xie family well. Don’t disappoint your sister and… I…”
Xie Shi’an hissed, “I won’t let you down. Now stop talking!”
Ruan Cheng’s lips twitched and he smiled. He didn’t say anything else and looked up at the sky. His eyes were empty and gradually lost focus.
His lips moved slightly as he muttered a name, and his eyes slowly closed.
Xie Shi’an’s action of pressing suddenly froze. His heart seemed to be clenched by an invisible hand, and even his breathing stopped.
“Master Cheng!” Shao Jin shouted at the top of his lungs.
He jumped up and pointed his gun at Shen Hanyu. “I’ll f*cking kill you!”
“Shao Jin, put down the gun!” Xie Shi’an’s expression changed.
The gun in Shao Jin’s hand did not even have time to fire. A bullet with a swift and fierce momentum had already shot right into his heart.
Shao Jin could not even make a sound. His body stiffened as he fell to the ground.
The bodyguards saw that the situation was not right and pulled out their guns.
However, a series of firecracker-like sounds rang out in succession.
The bodyguards were shot one by one and had no room to fight back.
Soon, a helicopter hovered and landed on the top of the mountain.
...
The cabin door opened, and several people got off the plane and ran over.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, they pulled out their guns as they ran.
This action brought disaster to them. The sniper’s bullets ruthlessly pierced through their bodies, killing them with every shot.
The birds in the forest flew away in fright, and the originally quiet mountain peak was instantly covered with corpses and blood.
Xie Shi’an looked at Shao Jin and the bodyguards of the Ruan family who used to address him as Young Master An. They were so respectful to him, but they all fell in front of him.
He seemed to have lost his soul as he stood there in a daze.
Ruan Xiaoshuang, who had fallen to the ground, was still holding Ruan Cheng’s cold hand tightly. Her face was ashen, and she was not angry at all.
At the same time, a large number of police officers rushed to the top of the mountain and restrained the pilot who was trying to fly the plane away.
Shen Hanyu had already helped Sang Minglang out of the car and into the safety zone.
The ambulance, which had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the mountain, sped up.
Shen Hanyu’s gaze swept past Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaoshuang. Without stopping, he accompanied Sang Minglang to the ambulance and left.
...
The mountaintop was quickly cleaned up.
Ruan Xiaoshuang did not allow Ruan Cheng’s body to be touched, to which the Police Chief complied.
A large number of police officers retreated, and the police cars left. The huge mountain peak returned to its former tranquility. However, today, it was a little more cold.
The tears on Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face had long dried. Her hands were as cold as Ruan Cheng’s hands, who had died a long time ago.
She was in the same position as before, sitting beside Ruan Cheng and holding his hand. She had no idea how long she had been sitting there.
Xie Shi’an stood at the side and quietly accompanied her.
“Shi’an,” Ruan Xiaoshuang finally opened her mouth, “Bury my brother’s ashes with your sister’s.”
Xie Shi’an said hoarsely, “Okay.”
He paused. “Sister Xiaoshuang, let’s bring Master Cheng down the mountain. This is not a good place to stay for long.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang nodded. The blood in her legs wasn’t flowing smoothly because she had been sitting for too long. In the end, she had to rely on Xie Shi’an’s help to stand up.
The two front wheels of the car, which had been hanging by the cliff, had been safely driven back to the flat ground by the police.
Xie Shi’an helped Ruan Xiaoshuang to the car and opened the passenger door for her. Then, he walked back and picked up Ruan Cheng’s body.
“Shi’an, I’ll have to trouble you with the Ruan family’s funeral.”
Behind him, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s soft voice came. “As well as my third sister. She won’t be staying abroad for long. In the future, I’ll leave her in your care.”
Xie Shi’an turned his head back abruptly, his pupils suddenly contracting. “Sister Xiaoshuang, don’t do anything stupi–”
Xie Shi’an’s voice stopped abruptly.
Ruan Xiaoshuang had jumped off the cliff without looking back and disappeared from his sight.
