Chapter 220: Chapter 210 What on Earth Do You Want to Do? (Second Update)

Tong Airui hurriedly held her tightly and picked up the phone. "What happened to Huo Li?"

Just slightly paused. "Huo Li jumped from her bedroom trying to commit suicide. Fortunately, the floor isn’t high, but she’s badly injured."

Tong Airui furrowed his brows. "If Huo Li wanted to commit suicide, why are you the one calling to inform my wife? Where are her parents?"

Just said bitterly, "They got beaten half to death by me. They’re in the hospital too."

"Just, Huo Li jumped in a suicide attempt and you beat her parents into the hospital?" Tong Airui coldly asked, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"I’ll explain it to Luowa later. Give her the phone." Just’s voice was even colder than Tong Airui’s.

Yi Luowa, who had just come back to her senses, reached out with trembling hands to hold Tong Airui’s. She had no strength to hold the phone herself and could only rely on Tong Airui to help.

"Senior, how is Huo Li right now?"

"She’s badly injured. She still wants to die and refuses treatment. I had no choice but to call you. Try to convince her, or else I’m afraid she’ll bleed out..."

"Give her the phone!" Yi Luowa wiped her tears away. The worst had already happened; she needed to stay strong.

"I’ll put the phone by her ear. Speak to her."

Yi Luowa held back her tears and shouted angrily, "Huo Li, you pig! Why are you trying to kill yourself? Are you abandoning me too? We swore to live and die together. I’ve been keeping an eye on you always, and if you die, I won’t live either!"

"... Sob... sob..." The sound of Huo Li’s crying came through the phone.

Yi Luowa yelled, "Stop crying! Answer me: why are you abandoning me?"

"Piggy... I... Please let me die cleanly... I beg you."

Yi Luowa turned to Tong Airui. "I need to return to F Country immediately. I want her to see me jump from the building myself."

Tong Airui held her tightly. "What about me if you go with that pig together?"

"Please let me do this. I have to die before her so she can experience how I feel right now." After she spoke, Yi Luowa shouted into the phone, "Wait for me! I’ll die in front of you! If you dare not wait, I’ll jump from the plane right now!"

After yelling, Yi Luowa threw the phone onto the bed, grabbed Tong Airui’s hand, and said, "This trick should work. I’m heading to F Country right now. Without me, she definitely won’t survive. I hope she can hold on until I get there."

"I’ll go with you." Tong Airui picked up the phone and called his subordinates. "In half an hour, I need a flight from Royal Airport to F Country."

Yi Luowa climbed down from the bed and spoke after Tong Airui finished his call. "Aren’t you heading to the camp tomorrow? Don’t cancel it. I can handle this alone."

"There’s clearly something deeper going on. If you go alone, I worry you won’t cope. I’ll call Old Seven and take him along. It’ll be safer that way." Tong Airui said as he walked out the room.

Yi Luowa grabbed the phone from the bed and chased after him.

Slow Grand was dragged out of bed by Tong Airui, and as they headed downstairs, Long Che heard the commotion and stepped out of his room.

Tong Airui briefly explained to him, and Long Che waved his hand. "Hurry up. I’ll take care of tomorrow’s arrangements for you."

"No need. I’ll set them up while on the plane. You get some rest." Saying this, Tong Airui carried Yi Luowa downstairs.

The three quickly arrived at the airport. After boarding the plane, Tong Airui handed Yi Luowa a secure phone. "Use this to stay in touch with the ground."

"I always trouble you..."

Tong Airui grumpily ruffled her hair. "Don’t say things like that anymore, got it?"

Yi Luowa nodded with guilt.

Mai Zekai, sitting behind them, had been resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he sat up straight as if he’d remembered something. "Fourth Brother, isn’t this some sort of trap?"

Tong Airui chuckled and glanced at him. "Go back to sleep. Do you think I’d take you two to risk anything if I hadn’t already investigated the situation thoroughly?"

Yi Luowa gave him a doubtful look. He had already investigated thoroughly in such a short time? When did he do it? She hadn’t noticed.

Tong Airui faintly curled his lips into a smile. "I’m still waiting for more details, but Huo Li jumping off a building and being sent to the hospital is absolutely true. Give Just a call with this number. Keep in touch at all times."

Yi Luowa took the number he handed over and dialed Just. "Senior, it’s me. How is Huo Li now?"

"I kept calling you, but couldn’t connect. After Huo Li took your call, she agreed to go into surgery!"

Just’s tone carried suppressed joy, and hearing it, Yi Luowa felt a strange sense of warmth.

Very quickly, Just’s second sentence dragged Yi Luowa from heaven straight into hell.

"Luowa, don’t celebrate too soon. Huo Li said she’s not trying to live—she’s going into surgery only to wait for you. She wants to see you one last time."

Yi Luowa tightly pursed her lips, her hand holding the phone trembling in rage again. "I’m already on the plane. Let’s see what she can do to kill herself when I’m there!"

Tong Airui shifted his gaze from his laptop to Yi Luowa’s face. Seeing her flushed red with anger, he reached out to ruffle her hair. "Tell Just to keep Huo Li’s parents under control."

Yi Luowa cast a doubtful glance at him but eventually relayed the message to Just.

Just acknowledged. "There are some things I’ll tell you once you arrive."

"Okay!" Yi Luowa gave Just the phone number and hung up.

"Fourth Brother, you told Just to keep Huo Li’s parents under control. Is Huo Li’s suicide attempt because of them?"

Tong Airui closed his laptop and pulled her into his arms. "I told you not to get too worked up about this."

"I’ll try."

"Don’t try. You must!" Tong Airui patted her shoulder. "The people on the ground have sent me the basic details. Huo Li was sent to the hospital half-naked. Before attempting suicide, she was nearly raped. Her reason for jumping was to protect her own dignity."

Yi Luowa’s hands clenched tightly. "Just said she jumped from her own home. If someone went to her house to try to rape her, her family should have stopped them. Were there no other family members to protect her?"

Tong Airui grasped her hand. His slender fingers interlocked tightly with hers, worried she might hurt herself after hearing the next news.

"No! Because the person who tried to rape her was Kai Bin."

Yi Luowa’s eyes widened in shock. "He’s Huo Li’s father. How can he do something so vile and unforgivable!?"

"Whether he’s really her biological father still needs verifying." Her small body in Tong Airui’s embrace trembled like a leaf in the wind, and he hugged her tightly in pain. "Luowa, don’t get like this. Once we’re in F Country, everything will come to light."

"I will castrate Kai Bin!" Yi Luowa’s bloodshot eyes were filled with fury. She must avenge Huo Li!

Tong Airui gently patted her shoulder. "I’ll do it for you, so your hands won’t be dirtied."

"I want Huo Li to do it herself, with the bluntest knife, cutting him bit by bit."

Mai Zekai dramatically shivered, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep. Women are terrifying when they’re ruthless. It’s better to keep quiet.

The plane flew for six to seven hours before landing at the Royal Airport of F Country. Yi Luowa hadn’t slept the entire night but showed no signs of fatigue. Her mind was filled with hatred, and like a warrior, she wouldn’t rest until completing her mission.

Just was already waiting outside the hospital by the time their convoy arrived. As he made his way over, Tong Airui carried Yi Luowa and headed toward him.

Just stared at Yi Luowa suspiciously. "After all this time, your leg still hasn’t healed?"

"It’s a new injury. Senior, don’t worry about me. How’s Huo Li now?"

"The anesthetic hasn’t worn off. She’s been unconscious the whole time. Her spleen ruptured and was removed. Her pelvis fractured, which has also been treated."

"What about her brain? Did her brain suffer any injuries?"

"I’d rather her brain had been injured—better if she lost her memory. Then at least she wouldn’t be in so much pain." Just frowned. "Go inside. I’ll explain while walking."

Tong Airui glared at him, carrying Yi Luowa through the door.

They took the elevator to the seventh floor. Just led them to the intensive care unit’s entrance, speaking in a low voice. "The doctor said she wouldn’t have made it if the rescue had been delayed another moment."

Tong Airui put Yi Luowa down. Staring through the window at her pale friend lying on the bed, Yi Luowa couldn’t stop her tears from streaming. The forthright Huo Li, the carefree Huo Li, the one who squabbled with her every day—where had she gone?

Yi Luowa wiped her tears, turned to Just, and asked, "Was it really Kai Bin?"

Just nodded.

Yi Luowa stumbled and nearly fell, but Tong Airui reached out to steady her. "Luowa, now is the time for you to be stronger than everyone. Don’t pass out yourself when Huo Li wakes up."

Yi Luowa shut her eyes tightly, forcing herself to calm down. After a moment, she reopened them and fixed a firm gaze on Just. "That beast... How dare he do that to Huo Li?"

"Huo Li only found out after the incident that Kai Bin isn’t her biological father. Huo Li said he’s been harassing her since she was fifteen. When she told her mother, her mother didn’t blame Kai Bin. Instead, she accused Huo Li of seducing him."

"No wonder Huo Li fights with her mom so often. But why didn’t she tell me? If she had spoken up earlier, I could’ve helped her. It wouldn’t have come to this!" Yi Luowa buried her head deep in Tong Airui’s chest, consumed by guilt for not realizing the situation sooner and allowing this tragedy to happen.

Tong Airui let out a low sigh. "It’s not your fault. No one wants to air their family’s dirty laundry. Let’s wait for Huo Li to wake up and help her get justice."

Yi Luowa nodded weakly, turning to Just and asking, "Where’s that scumbag now?"

"Still in the operating room." Just smirked faintly. "I wanted him sent straight to the morgue, but the police acted faster than me and managed to save him."

Yi Luowa said coldly, "Sending him to the morgue now isn’t too late. Huo Li can’t suffer all this for nothing!"

Just chuckled. "If you saw his current state, you might prefer he stay alive."
