Qin Tianyi did not shield his head. As Yang Sijie fiercely struck him, he suddenly yanked one of Yang Sijie's legs.
Yang Sijie lost his footing and released Susu. Qin Tianyi immediately got up and knocked the weapon from his hand.
Qin Tianyi was also filled with resentment and wanted to beat him severely!
The two wrestled, neither gaining an advantage. Susu did not run away and abandon Qin Tianyi but instead tried to help him.
She rushed to them and shouted at Yang Sijie, "Yang Sijie, stop! Don't fight anymore, surrender to the police with your hands up, pull back from the brink! Don't make any more mistakes, it's not too late to turn back now..."
Yang Sijie struggled to break free from Qin Tianyi with his fists and laughed despairingly at Susu, "Susu, we'll be together even in death! In this world, you are the only one I care about!"
He craved love and to be loved so much. Abandoned by his parents at birth, he lived a life of such loneliness, always seeking love and warmth in the world, but reality was exceptionally cruel to him.
Finally, he was driven to despair, seeing through everything, his heart hardened. He learned to be cold and cruel. Susu was his only solace; he needed her warmth and love.
But fate still destroyed his last shred of hope and light. What he couldn't have, no one else could have either. It was better to destroy Susu along with him!
He suddenly lunged at Susu, grabbed her arm, and forcefully tried to jump off the cliff with her.
From a distance, the sniper, seeing that he was no longer wrestling with Qin Tianyi and was about to grab Susu, seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger, aiming for his head.
As Susu was about to fall off the cliff with Yang Sijie, Qin Tianyi grabbed her other hand.
Qin Tianyi roared, "Yang Sijie, let go of her! No! No..."
Yang Sijie, shot in the head, was determined to drag Susu to hell with him. But after being shot, his body lost all strength. His hand loosened, and he fell backward into the abyss alone...
Qin Tianyi held Susu's hand tightly, pulling her up, his heart pounding in his chest.
Susu watched Yang Sijie fall into the cliff with her own eyes, thinking that his gruesome end was well-deserved.
She had finally escaped this demon. She also firmly grasped Qin Tianyi's hand with her other suspended hand, feeling as if she had returned to the world of the living.
They gazed at each other. No matter how crazy the world was, at least they were both alive, with love for each other in their hearts.
As Qin Tianyi pulled her up, he kissed her lips forcefully.
Her touch, her breath, her warmth... they still existed so realistically. Just a moment more, and he would have lost her forever.
Fortunately, fortunately, he had held onto her, and she was still alive and well.
Having escaped death, Susu responded to his kiss with tears, thinking she would never see him alive again.
The police lurking nearby, as well as the hidden snipers, all looked towards them, cheering and applauding them like spectators.
Su Kangxi, mounted on his horse, witnessed all this. His gaze remained fixed on the cliff below, still unable to believe that Yang Sijie had been shot in the head and fallen into the abyss like that.
For some reason, the innocent smile of Yang Sijie in his youth flashed in his mind. That vibrant Sijie had long since fallen into an abyss of eternal damnation.
After learning the truth, he hated Yang Sijie for resorting to any means to achieve his goals, but when Yang Sijie was truly reduced to ashes, he still felt immense pain.
What had turned Brother Sijie into such a terrifying devil?
His emotions remained unsettled for a long time...
Meanwhile, as Susu and Qin Tianyi were passionately kissing, Qin Tianyi suddenly turned his face to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong?" Susu asked, terrified.
Qin Tianyi wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled, saying, "It's nothing. My injuries haven't fully recovered yet, but they're just minor ones."
Susu worriedly supported him, "Then you still parachuted and led us to escape to the mountaintop... Were you trying to die?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Tianyi, with a smile on his face, could no longer support himself and spat out another mouthful of blood, his face turning pale as he fainted.
...
On a private jet, Qin Tianyi lay on the sofa bed, with Susu keeping vigil beside him, closely observing the changes in his expression.
Su Kangxi sat in a chair nearby, also worried about Qin Tianyi.
Qin Tianyi had been to hospitals abroad. His fractures were still healing, but the arduous journey had caused some of the fractured areas to injure his internal organs.
After receiving some treatment at a foreign hospital, Qin Tianyi insisted on chartering a private plane to return to Lancheng first.
Although his injuries were not life-threatening, the pain from the fractures was excruciating. Seeing him so injured, Susu's heart ached constantly.
Qin Tianyi's eyes were closed, and he was frowning, his face contorting in pain again. Susu asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell again? Do you want to take a painkiller?"
Qin Tianyi, with his eyes closed, could hear her voice. A thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead, but he shook his head and said, "No, I can still bear it."
Susu clasped his hand tightly and said, "Okay, then just bear with it a little longer. We'll reach Lancheng soon. There are specialized orthopedic doctors waiting for you at the hospital, and you'll definitely get better."
She knew that taking too many painkillers had side effects on the body. Since he said he could endure it, she kept comforting him by his side, encouraging him to persevere.
Susu's gentle voice reassured Qin Tianyi greatly. Qin Tianyi opened his eyes and turned his head to look, meeting her clear, bright eyes, veiled with a thin layer of mist.
Ever since he learned that she had left Tokugawa long ago, hiding it from him, and returned to Yang Sijie's side to save his life, he had been unable to sleep, as if he were being tormented in a frying pan.
Now that Yang Sijie had received his just deserts and met a gruesome end, he should let go of his past suffering and torment. Yet, he still felt a sense of unresolved emotion.
"If you can't sleep, I'll keep you company and talk," Susu said, placing his hand against her cheek.
Qin Tianyi withdrew his hand, closed his eyes again, and hummed in acknowledgment.
Susu was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her composure and asked, "Is Xiao Xingxing okay while I was away?"
"He should be fine. With Xiao Mei by his side and your friends looking after him, nothing will happen," Qin Tianyi said slowly.
"That's good." Susu wanted to say something else but realized he seemed to have fallen asleep.
She looked at his pale and tired face, her eyes involuntarily welling up. Seeing the usually dignified and proud him reduced to such a disheveled state for her, she truly didn't know how to apologize.
All of Yang Sijie's troubles had started because of her, and she felt an indescribable shame towards him. Whether they could be together in the future or not, he had already integrated into her life, her very blood. In this life, he was the only man who would be a part of her existence.
She kissed his forehead lightly, like a dragonfly skimming water. The most important thing now was to help him recover completely.
