Chapter 113: Explosive News
After washing up, Song Shishi went to Qing Tian’s room to ask her to go to school together. However, she found Qing Tian’s room empty. She searched the restroom, balcony, and living room, and scoured the entire house but couldn’t find Qing Tian. Finally, on Qing Tian’s desk, she found a note. It read: “Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, and Shishi, I love you all. Thank you for taking care of me. I am leaving this city now to start a new life. I will take good care of myself. I wish you all well and please don’t worry! – Qing Tian.”
Song Shishi let out a loud scream that echoed through the entire house. Grandpa Song and Mother Song rushed over, asking with worry, “What’s wrong, Shishi? What’s all the fuss about?”
Song Shishi tremblingly handed the note to Mother Song and said, “Sister Qing has run away from home!”
Mother Song took the note in surprise and said to the Master with great shock, “What is this girl thinking? How could she just leave without any warning~~~~”
Song Shishi hurriedly asked, “Should we go look for Sister Qing? We can definitely find her if we go now!”
Grandpa Song said with deep emotion, “Don’t go. Let Qing Tian go. This child must not want us to worry. She will take care of herself. Perhaps by the day she returns, she will have grown up and become sensible!”
Song Shishi sighed and stood in place, hoping that Sister Qing would indeed be as Grandpa Song said, grown up and sensible when she returned, or praying that Sister Qing would return!
After the Song family returned to peace, Song Shishi dejectedly went downstairs to prepare for school. Downstairs, she saw a haggard Ji Xiangyu and asked in surprise, “Ji Xiangyu, why are you here?”
Ji Xiangyu asked weakly, “Where is Qing Tian?”
Song Shishi said with confusion, “Don’t you know? Sister Qing ran away from home, leaving a note and leaving!”
Ji Xiangyu immediately grabbed Song Shishi’s shoulders excitedly and asked, “Where?”
Song Shishi, in a bad mood, shook off Ji Xiangyu’s grasp and said angrily, “You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Sister Qing just left a note and disappeared, saying not to worry. Is that possible? I’m worried sick!”
Ji Xiangyu was about to ask more questions when his mobile phone vibrated with a buzzing sound. Seeing that it was Ji Weiwei, he immediately answered and asked, “What is it?”
Ji Weiwei cried on the other end, “Brother Yu, I didn’t expect Xia Yang to commit suicide. It was just last night at midnight!”
Ji Xiangyu was shocked and froze in place. Xia Yang committed suicide? How could that be? Why would he commit suicide? There must be a mistake, there must be. How could he just end his life like this?
Before he could even pick up his phone that had fallen to the ground, he grabbed Song Shishi and said, “Something happened to Xia Yang. Hurry to the police station and call Huzi!”
Song Shishi was stunned, also shocked by the news. In the car, every radio station was broadcasting the news of Xia Yang’s suicide in the detention center. Ji Xiangyu threw a tablet computer to Song Shishi and said, “Go online and see if there are any photographs as proof!”
Song Shishi immediately took the tablet computer and went online. As soon as she opened the webpage, it was all news about Xia Yang’s suicide. Among them was a video provided by the police showing the entire process of Xia Yang’s suicide. Song Shishi felt weak all over, and the tablet computer slipped from her grasp.
Ji Xiangyu didn’t need to guess; seeing Song Shishi’s reaction, he knew that Xia Yang’s suicide was a fact.
They arrived at the hospital mentioned by the media, where many reporters had gathered outside. Song Shishi grabbed Ji Xiangyu and said, “Don’t go in. You’ll be pushed into the spotlight because the Ji family is the biggest culprit!”
Ji Xiangyu angrily pounded the steering wheel. How could this have happened?
Song Shishi felt that something was very suspicious. Why did Xia Yang commit suicide right after Sister Qing disappeared? Sister Qing and Xia Yang had such deep emotions; there was no reason for her to abandon him like this? What exactly happened? Could it be that Sister Qing also~~~~~ Song Shishi couldn’t bear to think further~~~~~
In the end, Qing Tian was not found. Xia Yang’s corpse was claimed by the Ji family and cremated. His ashes were buried in the Ji family’s ancestral cemetery. This was the last thing Ji Xiangyu did for Xia Yang. At the funeral, very few people attended. Besides Song Shishi, Huzi, Ji Weiwei, Grandpa Ji, and Situ Jingyi, everyone else opposed burying Xia Yang’s ashes in the Ji family cemetery. However, Grandpa Ji fully supported it, and no one could stop him.
Grandpa Ji looked at the tombstone and the cemetery with sadness and only worry. He looked up at the sky and silently said: After starting a new life, I must be happy and have happiness~~~~
Huzi had already collapsed crying on the tombstone, constantly shouting “Boss!” A group of brothers and older brothers knelt on the ground~~~ Xia Yang held great importance in their hearts!!!
The whole world couldn’t understand why Xia Yang committed suicide. Only those few who knew the secret sighed with regret and wished Xia Yang happiness and joy in his new life!
Situ Jingyi’s gaze today was unprecedentedly calm and cold. Did Xia Yang and Qing Tian think they could leave so easily?
Hehehehe~~~~ It’s not that simple. A bigger disaster is still waiting for them!!!
