Looking at Gu Meng rushing over, Ling Hui had a bad feeling.
“Something happened?”
Gu Meng pointed at her phone. “I just saw the news that a taxi on the way to the airport in the morning had an accident on Hanyang Road. The taxi collided with a small sedan and the taxi slid down the hill. It caught fire on the spot and burned the driver and a passenger to death…”
Gu Meng knew that Ling Hui had contacted Tang Xi for the entire day, but there was no news from him.
Seeing that piece of news, she thought of the time and place and could not help but think of Tang Xi.
Ling Hui’s heart thumped.
She took out her phone with trembling fingers and opened the news app. Seeing the news Gu Meng was talking about, her eyelashes fluttered.
“No, it can’t be Tang Xi.”
Ling Hui closed her eyes and suppressed the panic and helplessness in her heart. “Did you ask the police?”
“I did. Chief Lu said that he would call me if there’s any news.” As Gu Meng spoke, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was Chief Lu, Ling Hui took the phone from Gu Meng. Taking a deep breath, she answered the call.
“Princess Meng, we have the latest results of the investigation you asked me to do. The passenger in the taxi is called Tang Xi. Our police found his wallet on the hill at the scene. There’s his identification card and bank card inside.”
“His family has already contacted us. We’re dealing with the police in the capital.”
Ling Hui’s face turned pale when she heard Chief Lu’s words.
How could it be?
The man had appeared in her apartment last night and kissed her forcefully. How could they have been separated so quickly?
Seeing Ling Hui’s expression, Gu Meng could guess what Chief Lu had said.
Ling Hui bit her lip hard and said to Chief Lu with a hoarse voice, “I’m Ling Hui. Tang Xi and I are a couple. Can I go and see him?”
“Well… the Tang family called and said that they can’t let you see him.”
Ling Hui felt a sharp pain in her temple and her body swayed unsteadily. Before Gu Meng could help her, she blacked out and fainted on the floor.
…
Ling Hui did not know how long she had been unconscious for. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the white ceiling above her. She knew that she was in the hospital.
Dai Xuan and Gu Meng were sitting by the bed. Seeing that Ling Hui had woken up, Dai Xuan hurriedly grabbed her hand. “Huihui, you’re awake?”
Ling Hui’s mind was blank for a moment. She did not know what had happened. When her thoughts slowly returned, she remembered that Tang Xi had died in a car accident.
Tears welled up in her eyes. “Auntie, I killed… a man who was very good to me.”
Dai Xuan had learned about what had happened between Ling Hui and Tang Xi from Gu Meng and sighed slightly. “Huihui, I’m very touched by his love for you. However, the disaster that befell him was beyond your control.”
Ling Hui’s lips trembled and her tears fell. She tasted something salty.
Dai Xuan chatted with Ling Hui for a while. She had an important meeting that night and left early.
Gu Meng sat by the bed and held Ling Hui’s cold hand. “Sister Ling Hui, Uncle has signs of waking up after taking the life-saving pill.”
Hearing this, the tears in Ling Hui’s eyes gathered again.
Tang Xi had used his life to get her father to wake up!
“Mengmeng, how long was I unconscious for?”
“Almost two days.”
Ling Hui thought of Tang Xi and her heart tightened. “What about his body? Was it taken back by the Tang family?”
“Yes.”
“I want to go to the capital.”
Gu Meng knew how Ling Hui felt now. She felt that Tang Xi had died because of her and felt guilty and miserable. If she did not see him for the last time, she would regret it for the rest of her life!
“Sister Ling Hui, I’ll go with you.”
Ling Hui shook her head. “I know you still have to go to Italy. I can do it alone.”
“But the Tang family…”
“It’s alright. I’m not afraid of anything.”
…
Ling Hui booked a flight to the capital that night.
After getting off the plane, she went straight to the Tang family’s house.
But when she reached the door, she was stopped by the servants of the Tang family.
The servants of the Tang family seemed to have given their orders. No matter what she asked, they kept their mouths shut.
Ling Hui waited at the entrance of the Tang residences for the entire day.
In the evening, she met Tang Fei, who had returned to the house.
Seeing Ling Hui waiting at the door with a haggard and weak expression on her beautiful face, Tang Fei said coldly, “How dare you come here?”
“I want to see your brother for the last time.”
Tang Fei glared at Ling Hui with hatred and her voice became sharper. “If my brother didn’t go to Y Country for you, he wouldn’t have gotten into an accident. You’re the culprit who caused his death and you still have the cheek to ask to see him one last time?”
Ling Hui pursed her pale lips, her expression dark. “I’m the one who let him down, but there are some things I want to explain to him clearly. I don’t want him to leave in worry.”
Tang Fei laughed coldly. “Don’t even think about it. The Tang family doesn’t want to see you anymore!”
Without waiting for Ling Hui to say anything, Tang Fei got into the car and left.
Ling Hui stood outside the Tang family’s house for two days but did not hear anything about Tang Xi’s funeral.
With no choice, Ling Hui contacted Fang Ye.
She thought that Fang Ye would not come out to see her, but after he received her call, he arranged for them to meet at the cafe.
When Ling Hui arrived at the cafe, Fang Ye was already there.
Fang Ye was slightly surprised when he saw Ling Hui. Princess Ling Hui, who was usually bright and cold, was pale and weak. Her beautiful eyes, which were usually full of energy, seemed to be covered by dark clouds at this moment. They were dark and there was no light at all.
Ling Hui saw Fang Ye and walked over.
“Princess Ling Hui, look, what do you want to drink?”
Ling Hui shook her head and asked straightforwardly, “I want to know where your Young Master’s memorial service will be?”
Fang Ye lowered his head, as if adjusting his emotions. He then looked up at Ling Hui with red eyes. “Princess, I’m sorry. Forgive me for not being able to tell you. Before Young Master got into the accident, he called me and told me that he wanted to forget you. Although he’s gone now, we have to respect his decision!”
Ling Hui’s organs felt like they were being burned by fire. No matter how much she thought about it, she still did not know why he made such a decision after their relationship had eased the previous night.
Was it because he had seen Ling Motian send her back to the apartment and she had not explained herself, making him think that she had rekindled her relationship with Ling Motian?
If she had known that things would turn out like this, she would have explained it to him.
She had nothing to do with Ling Motian anymore!
Ling Hui was very depressed. Even now, she still could not believe that Tang Xi had really left this world.
She said hoarsely, “Although I knew that he had a crush on me, I thought that he was just reluctant to give because he had never had me! I didn’t think that his feelings for me were so deep that he was willing to do anything!”
