Chapter 559: Chapter 559: The Terminally Ill Jin on Death Game Island (75)
Jing Kun knew he couldn’t hide it any longer and could only explain the whole story.
Upon hearing the truth, Jing XiYuaan couldn’t take it. He staggered back in disbelief and looked at Jing Kun with hatred and resentment, before bursting into laughter.
He had always blamed Ling Qianyan for his downfall, only to find out that, in the end, it was all the handiwork of his own father.
Jing Kun became enamored with the thrilling, pleasure-filled game, leading to the downfall of the Jing Family.
Unwilling to accept defeat, he simply pawned his only son.
For three years, while he fought desperately in the game arena, his father sat behind a display screen, watching him struggle on the edge of life and death like a beast.
Truly, in this world, there’s nothing more ridiculous than this.
At that moment, he didn’t even dare to look at Ling Qianyan, afraid that he would only see a gaze coldly taunting him.
Taunting him for indeed being a fool.
Everyone gradually crowded into the spacious hall, where Bai Huai lifted Zhang Yunhui to narrate everything, leaving the scene in silence.
As everyone remained stunned, Qiann Yan signaled a few to quietly leave.
As for what would happen to the others behind them, she was unsure; the few were just eager to escape from Death Game Island.
Fang Qing steered the ship, Huo Yi sitting beside her, "I didn’t expect you could do this."
"I used to go out to sea often with Qiann Yan, even if clumsy, I’d learn." Fang Qing said, embarrassed, facing the sea breeze; she really didn’t expect a day to come when she could leave successfully.
Three years; they had spent three years on Death Game Island.
Now it feels like a dream, giving an unreal sensation.
"Huo Yi, what are you planning to do once out?"
Huo Yi: "Of course, report to school, prove I’m not a missing person, complete my studies, and become an upright good cop, like my parents."
"You will." Fang Qing said, she might hesitate about others, but Huo Yi would definitely succeed; he is someone who would rather die than go against his principles.
Come to think of it, they are somewhat similar.
However, she is not as upright as Huo Yi.
She does not go against principles, solely because she doesn’t want to become someone she detests, not for anyone’s sake, nor willing to sacrifice herself, contributing to society.
She could never become like Huo Yi.
"What about you?"
Fang Qing thought for a moment, and said: "Better go back to school, I got into a top university, unsure if the procedures will be difficult or if my student status still exists, otherwise, I’d retake the exams."
As an ordinary person, studying is undoubtedly the most convenient and fair path.
After experiencing life and death, she felt exams are not hard at all.
Both simultaneously glanced at Qiann Yan, sitting at the side of the ship, eyes slightly closed, Bai Huai beside her, holding her hand, as if fearing she’d disappear at any moment.
The two sighed softly, hearts filled with complexity.
Qiann Yan brought Bai Huai home, the Ling Family couple were overjoyed to learn she was still alive.
Everyone explained they were captured and escaped from an island.
...
"I heard Zhang Yunhui and his gang all died accidentally, none came out." Bai Huai crouched beside Qiann Yan and whispered.
Qiann Yan: "Not going to see your father?"
Bai Huai hesitated: "He doesn’t want me, why go back?"
"He sold you off; don’t you plan to do anything?"
Bai Huai paused: "As you say, I should indeed do something, I’ll go back alone."
Small matters, he can handle them well.
Days later, Bai Huai returned, and at that moment Qiann Yan had just gotten up.
He picked up the comb on his own and combed Qiann Yan’s hair. Qiann Yan glanced at him and said, "Better not comb."
Of course, Bai Huai didn’t listen; lately, he became more audacious, hugging her, holding her, and now wanting to help comb her hair.
But when the comb reached the ends, seeing the large clump of hair on the comb, his eyes reddened, a touch of moisture.
Through the mirror, Qiann Yan saw the fellow crying again, acting like ’why don’t you listen’ and said: "Told you not to comb."
"Just comb." Bai Huai choked.
Qiann Yan seriously: "Almost bald."
Bai Huai: "..." Is it appropriate to joke now?
