Chapter 1408: I Only Want You (106)
Jing Chu imdiately sensed that sothing was amiss the mont she saw the text ssage. Hence, she quickly called Tang Zhijing, only to discover that his mobile phone was switched off.
Without hesitation, she handed Pei Ling over to the nanny, after which she hurriedly got dressed and left the house.
She instructed the chauffeur to drive her to Tang Zhijing’s modeling company because she had no idea where Tang Zhijing’s parents lived. She then went through painstaking ans to find out their address from the employees at the modeling agency.
To her dismay, Tang Zhijing’s parents refused to allow her to enter when she arrived at their ho. Hence, she had no choice but to show the text ssage to the guards at the door and instructed them to relay the ssage to Mr. and Mrs. Tang.
They finally allowed her to enter. By the ti she stepped foot inside, Mr. and Mrs. Tang had already gone to the room.
They arrived before Jing Chu and the bodyguards did.
Jing Chu was flabbergasted. She stared in disbelief at Tang Zhijing, who had hung himself using a makeshift rope that he had made by shredding his clothes into pieces.
Mrs. Tang held his lifeless body in her embrace and bawled loudly in agony while Mr. Tang stood beside them with a look of moroseness and misery on his face.
There was a red welt on Tang Zhijing’s neck and he was as pale as a sheet, no longer breathing.
Tears welled up in Jing Chu’s eyes and eventually rolled down her face.
She was terribly upset.
She did not bla Tang Zhijing for taking the easy way out by ending his life, because she knew that he had a lower threshold for tornt compared to her.
Although they seed to be in the sa boat and he seed to have it better than she did, they were, in fact, in very different predicants.
Reminded of the reason behind his decision to commit suicide, she walked into the room and stared at the grief-stricken Mr. and Mrs. Tang.
Not feeling a tinge of sympathy for them at all, she said, “You guys can stop him from contacting . We’re just friends anyway. However, do you know what his dreams were? Do you know what the life that he yearned to lead is like? Is money of paramount importance, so much so that it trumps your son’s happiness? You guys can finally focus entirely on making money now. You’re not the only ones who value money more than your children anyway. Are you happy with how things had turned out? Tang Zhijing was denied the freedom and right to choose the life he wanted to lead. He told that he had lost the will to live and found life and wealth to be completely aningless. Have you guys ever showed your concern for him and his ntal health? I reckon his death is the only way he can exact revenge on you guys.”
Jing Chu turned around to leave as soon as she finished speaking.
She leaned back against the backseat and began tearing up silently while on the way ho.
All the mories she shared with Tang Zhijing began to flood her mind.
She was completely caught off guard by the sudden news. She was extrely appalled and horrified, for she had never expected him to take his own life.
It had also never crossed her mind that their friendship would be affected by her marriage to Pei Yi.
In hindsight, it’s only understandable. I’m considered to be a part of the DK Organization now, and so is Pei Ling. From now on, I can’t contact Sis Qiao An and the rest anymore, lest I bring them trouble and implicate them. I mustn’t stay in touch with Sis Xiaoning anymore either.
Jing Chu was stuck in a dilemma. She wanted Pei Yi to leave the DK Organization. However, she knew clearly that there was no turning back for Pei Yi now that he had already delved so deep.
If chaos were to break out, they might just be killed in a mass execution carried out by the governnts of several nations. She could not help but feel worried and anxious at the thought of it.
She could not let her guard down even though life seed to be rather peaceful for the ti being.
She decided that she had to co up with a solution and strategy to deal with the potential threats.
She returned to Mount Qingping and inford Fat Lass of Tang Zhijing’s death. Fat Lass teared up miserably and told Jing Chu, “I saw him popping so sleeping pills before. He must have been suffering from insomnia and depression...”
Carrying Pei Ling in her arms, Jing Chu said, “Perhaps this is the only way he can reach his utopia. Since this is his chosen path, we can only respect it. I understand how he feels.”
Having overheard what she said, Pei Yi asked casually, “Whose feelings can you understand?”
Fat Lass exited the room while Jing Chu answered, “Tang Zhijing.”
“Did you cry?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Why?”
“I cried because of Tang Zhijing.”
Pei Yi asked with raised brows, “You’re telling that you’re crying because of another man?”
“Master Pei, he’s dead.”
“Why did he die?” Pei Yi asked in surprise.
“He hung himself.”
“What was the reason?”
“He had emotional issues. His parents had never shown him any love or concern ever since he was a child, and they never allowed him to make his own decisions. I heard from Fat Lass that he had been heavily reliant on dication and even suffered from insomnia. I think he must have been diagnosed with depression.”
Pei Yi put an arm around her shoulder and said, “That’s his choice.”
“If there’s a way to leave DK unscathed, are you willing to live a peaceful life with and our son?”
Pei Yi answered, “Yes, I’m willing.”
Jing Chu asked, “Would you still be willing if the living conditions are tough?”
“Ho is wherever you and our son are.”
“You said that yourself. You can’t go back on your word.”
“Why would I go back on my word? You and Pei Ling are my only kin left in this world.”
“Let go to that forest, then,” said Jing Chu, who had already made up her mind.
Pei Yi refused vehently. “No.”
Knowing that he definitely wouldn’t give in easily, Jing Chu said, “I can communicate with animals, and I’ll bring the appropriate weapons with in order to protect myself. Don’t be so pessimistic. I’m not as weak as you think I am. There definitely is a place for us in this vast world. I won’t be satisfied until I go and take a look myself. I feel that it’s the only way for you to make a clean break with DK.”
“No, my decision is final. I won’t allow you to go to such a dangerous place.”
Jing Chu said, “Aren’t we living in a dangerous place as well? nacing beasts may devour humans, but humans will cause harm to other humans as well. Master Pei, I don’t know what I might face when I get there, but I’m not afraid at all. I’d like to go take a look. Perhaps it’ll really be the safest place we can go to. I’ve already made up my mind. If you won’t allow to go, let’s not be together anymore. If you insist on forcing , I’ll kill myself.”
Pei Yi knew how stubborn she was, but not to such an extre extent. However, he had no idea how desperately she wanted for him to leave the DK Organization and for the three of them to live in peace forever. Her determination was evidence of how strong her desire was.
“Why are you so stubborn? You’re just a weak and helpless woman. Wouldn’t you be digging your own grave by going to that forest? How can I let you put your life at risk?”
“Will I definitely die just because I’m weak and helpless? There’s no certainty. No matter what happens, I’ll never regret my decision. If I die, that just ans that I’m destined to. Likewise, if I don’t, it just ans my ti isn’t up yet. It’s all Heaven’s will.”
