She is the daughter of the Hai Family, the daughter of her godmother. It’s absolutely impossible for her to be soone’s affair, that’s absolutely impossible.
"Gege, I’ll ask you one last ti, do you want to co with ?" He Xiuze’s tone suddenly turned harsh, completely unlike his earlier soft, repentant deanor.
"There’s no possibility for us." She had her own pride.
So people, she would rather think of them in her heart all her life than trample over them.
"Do you think you can leave ?" He Xiuze suddenly sneered, "To be honest with you, we’re now like grasshoppers on a string; if I can’t live well, you won’t live well either."
For now, divorce is certainly impossible.
In the country, they are still legally married.
Haige squinted, just looking at him: "What do you want to do?"
"You’re right. The reason I ca back to marry you was to use you."
"So, you’re the betrayer of the 319 case." A weathered voice interjected, Bai Liuniang stood at the doorway with a cane, looking at He Xiuze seriously, "The explosion case back then, you colluded with outsiders to make it happen, and you escaped abroad unscathed, living a god-like life."
Bai Liuniang’s face was filled with distress. The man before her had once been her proudest protégé, her most beloved student.
He Xiuze looked at the doorway, at his forr ntor and current mother-in-law, and an instant of discomfort flickered in his eyes: "Teacher, ’betrayal’ sounds so harsh. Instead of saying betrayal, why not call it an inevitable outco. Teacher, even if I weren’t the one at the ti, soone else would have done it. You can’t imagine how strong the enemies are, and it presented itself as an opportunity for . Why should I give up the opportunity to others without trying myself, don’t you think?"
Indeed, at that ti, he was young and promising, with unlimited prospects.
Only he knew, his heart was filled to the brim with inferiority.
He didn’t co from a good background, but fought his way into a prestigious school and beca the teacher’s student. Soone like him becoming a proud protégé of the teacher stirred the envy of countless people.
But he wasn’t satisfied.
He wanted to go further, to be seen by more people.
"Xiuze, I always thought you were a person with principles and a bottom line. I didn’t expect that in the face of interests, everything would be so fickle. If you had always stayed by my side, at least by now you’d be at a researcher level, enjoying a treatnt beyond imagination. Look at you now, you’re back in the country, just like a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to beat you."
"Teacher, you don’t understand." He Xiuze gave a bitter smile, "The things I pursue are beyond your comprehension. In the country, I could only live under your na for a lifeti, then have to marry your daughter, thus everyone would say I rose through your connections, not by my own ability."
"Yes, you brought into the lab, and had take the main responsibility, but in the end, people said, ’this young man is only diocre, if not for Bai Lao’s relationship, he wouldn’t even have gotten into the lab.’ I was clearly so outstanding, with quite a remarkable ability, yet they couldn’t see that, they only saw my ntor-student relationship with you." Recalling the past, He Xiuze felt utterly unwilling in his heart.
Listening to He Xiuze’s reasons, Bai Liuniang was nothing but heartbroken, "Xiuze, you really were petty. You need to understand, becoming my student already represents your ability. You’ve been with for so long, haven’t you realized, I rarely take students, if I do, they must be exceptionally talented. I just didn’t expect, despite your ability, your mind was so narrow. You were young, in a high position, naturally, there would be a lot of people jealous of you, yet others didn’t take it seriously, only you did."
"Xiuze, have you ever considered, you becoming the person in charge of the lab was indeed because of my influence, if not for , you could only start from being an ordinary experinter. You had so many qualified seniors beneath you, they didn’t land a single position, naturally, they were upset with you. But this was my decision, they dared not say anything in front of , they could only make sarcastic remarks in front of you."
"In the end, instead of striving to achieve sothing, you listened to their words, and did such a highly unethical act. 139 lives, such a thing, how did you decide to do it at the ti." Bai Liuniang closed her eyes, unable to accept, realizing this explosion case was also related to her.
This tragic event puzzled her for many years, only now she realized, it was her decision back then that changed the destinies of so many people.
Ultimately, she was the sinner.
If she hadn’t transferred He Xiuze to the lab for an important position, perhaps this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.
"They had a hold on , I flirted with a woman while drunk, they wanted to expose it. I knew once it was exposed, my life would be ruined, so I agreed to cooperate with them. Teacher, initially, I didn’t know they wanted to destroy the lab, they were only teaching what to do, and how to escape, I knew nothing of the rest. I only found out after the incident, back then I was very scared, very regretful too."
"He Xiuze, you’re truly disappointing. The lab’s 139 lives were destroyed because of your selfishness. How could you be such a person, the man I liked, how could he be such a person, you tell ." Haige could not accept this outco, why it turned out this way.
"I was clueless too, I was deceived."
"Every cause has its result, the wrongs you committed back then, wanting to leave now, that’s certainly impossible." Brother Yu led people in, behind him was a group of police officers, each carrying real weapons.
He Xiuze looked at the appearing officers, his legs went weak.
He knew his good days were completely over.
The case back then shocked both dostically and abroad, there was certainly no good end for him.
"Xiuze, at this point, if you confess and help locate the behind-the-scenes characters, your outco might be more lenient." Bai Liuniang’s voice was full of sorrow, aged significantly overnight.
He Xiuze only sat on the ground, like a frost-beaten eggplant, unable to get up.
Brother Yu gestured to the officers behind him, "Take him away."
He Xiuze was taken away by the police, Bai Liuniang only felt her vision go black.
"Godmother, godmother..." Haige cried out in shock.
...
Mr. Gu took Bai Liuniang’s pulse: "Due to emotional turmoil, that’s why she fainted."
The proud disciple led to the tragic case back then, Bai Liuniang certainly couldn’t handle such a result, this also ant she herself was half a murderer.
If it weren’t for her bringing He Xiuze into the lab, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Bai Liuniang opened her eyes, just staring at the ceiling, tears at the corners of her eyes: "Old Gu, I’ve let down those 139 lives, and even more so, their families."
It’s truly a sin.
"There’s sothing He Xiuze said that’s true, even if they didn’t target He Xiuze, they would have found soone else eventually. The lab was under their watch, they would find a way to sabotage it, so don’t stress yourself too much, taking all bla on yourself, how can your heart withstand that?"
Bai Liuniang shook her head: "Old Gu, I know myself well, after experiencing such an event, this is probably as far as I go. It’d be good for to leave and apologize to those 139 souls underground, living is truly a tornt for ."
Haige, listening to Bai Liuniang, held her hand: "Godmother, don’t leave , I only have you, godmother..."
