Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful - Chapter 912 - The Beginning And The End (The Grand Finale)

Chapter 912 – The Beginning And The End (The Grand Finale)

Mu Tingfeng used his uninjured hand to wrap it around Zhao Youlin’s waist tightly. No matter how Zhao Youlin struggled and hit his wound, he never let go. Because he knew that once he let go, Lu Xiangtian wouldn’t be the only one to die — they all would.

“That’s my dad, my dad. He’s not some kitten or dog, and he’s not some stranger. That’s my dad! Dad…”

Zhao Youlin’s shrill scream echoed throughout the warehouse, carrying a heart-wrenching pain.

When Lu Xiangtian heard her shout, he subconsciously clutched his front lapel. A satisfied smile appeared on his pale face, but he used his last bit of strength to shout in the direction of the two of them, “Go!”

With a loud boom, another giant beam fell from the ceiling and crashed not far away from Lu Xiangtian, separating Lu Xiangtian, Zhao Youlin, and the others.

After Lu Xiangtian roared, he collapsed to the ground. The smoke around him became thicker and thicker, taxing his already punctured lungs further. His breathing became weaker and heavier. Lu Xiangtian had never felt so relaxed before.

People said that at the last moment before he died, he would always think of the person who was the most important to him, and the most important person in his life…

Lu Xiangtian’s eyes reflected the gradually growing flames on the roof. There was a hint of relief and joy on his face. As if he had seen something, he slowly reached out his hand and quietly called out, “Zhirou…”

These two short syllables had been his sole purpose and happiness in life. Now, he could finally go find her.

Lu Xiangtian’s hand slid down from the air. His eyes, which were so gentle to the people he loved, finally closed and did not open again. Then, the flames quickly swallowed him whole.

On the other side, Lu Shu and Li Yan, who were also surrounded by flames, were in no better condition than Lu Xiangtian.

From afar, Lu Shu saw that Zhao Youlin had turned the situation around. She saw that Lu Xiangtian was willing to sacrifice his own life for her. She also saw that Mu Tingfeng was willing to sacrifice his own safety to protect her. The jealousy that was buried deep in her heart began to boil once again. Almost unconsciously, she picked up the pistol that had fallen not far from her.

By the time she reacted, she had already fired, and Zhao Youlin had returned the shot. However, what she could not accept the most was that at that critical moment, Li Yan had actually pounced in front of her. He had blocked the fatal shot for her and had even hit his heart.

“Oh my God, Brother Yan, Brother Yan, don’t scare me.” Lu Shu saw that Li Yan had fallen in front of her and could not care about anything else. Her face was pale as she hugged Li Yan in panic. She did not know how she could save him.

Li Yan used his last bit of strength to grab Lu Shu’s hand tightly. He enunciated each word clearly. “You shot at her… You really did…”

Lu Shu held back the tears in her eyes and nodded.

It was as if Li Yan had suddenly lost all his strength. The hand that was grabbing Lu Shu slipped down, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of Zhao Youlin.

Lu Shu watched helplessly as Li Yan’s hand slipped off her arm. She wanted to reach out to grab it, but in the end, she was too late.

The tears in her eyes finally burst out and fell on Li Yan’s face one drop at a time.

“Ahhhh… Ahhhh…” This time, the scream from Lu Shu was no longer sharp or hysterical. Instead, it was filled with unspeakable grief, as if she was a trapped animal making her final struggle.

Finally, Lu Shu stopped screaming. Her face was covered with tears, and there was a numbness on her face that was more sorrowful than death itself.

At that moment, she saw the pistol again. Without much thought, she picked up the pistol and gave Li Yan a nostalgic look. She closed his eyes and planted a kiss on his forehead. She murmured affectionately, “Brother Yan, wait for me. I’ll come find you right away.”

With that, she raised the gun again, but this time, she aimed at her temple. Bang.

Mu Tingfeng dragged Zhao Youlin away from the fire. As soon as she stopped, Zhao Youlin slapped him.

Mu Tingfeng didn’t react. He just took a slap from Zhao Youlin. His expression didn’t change. He said calmly, “He only wanted you safe.”

Zhao Youlin suddenly seemed to understand something. Her whole body shook, and she seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. She sat down on the ground.

Mu Tingfeng looked at Zhao Youlin who reached out to hug him, but she inevitably touched the wound on his hand. He couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

Only then did Zhao Youlin notice that her struggles had only aggravated Mu Tingfeng’s wounds. The wound on his shoulder had opened again, and the wound on his leg had been torn open when he dragged her out. It was now a bloody mess.

Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a beat, and the grief in her heart was instantly filled with guilt. “I’m sorry…”

Mu Tingfeng shook his head. “Let’s talk outside.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She also realized that now was not the time to talk about this. She took a deep breath, gathered her emotions, and helped Mu Tingfeng up.

Mu Tingfeng had dug deep for that last burst of energy. Now, in spite of his best efforts, he could barely stand, and more than half of his weight was on Zhao Youlin’s body.

The two of them continued to walk forward, one step at a time. There were explosions behind them, and the front door was already surrounded by fire. The two of them could only try to find another exit behind them.

Hearing the explosions behind them, Mu Tingfeng could feel that Zhao Youlin was getting tired and exhausted. In the end, he couldn’t help but say, “Youlin, put me down.” He was now a burden to Zhao Youlin. If this continued, none of them would be able to escape. Who knew if there was a door in front of them? Who knew if the warehouse would explode before they found the door?

Zhao Youlin froze when she heard Mu Tingfeng’s words. Her footsteps paused, but she didn’t stop there. Instead, she walked faster.

“Mu Tingfeng, let me tell you this. You promised… you promised my father that you would take good care of me. You can’t break that promise. It’s best if we can escape today. If we can’t, we’ll be a pair of miserable lovebirds in here.”

Mu Tingfeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he heard Zhao Youlin continue with a choked voice, “If it were you, would you abandon me at this time? If not, then shut up!”

Mu Tingfeng immediately shut up. He tightened his grip on Zhao Youlin, and a resolute light flashed in his eyes.

Even though he said that, Mu Tingfeng’s weight was still there. After walking for a while, Zhao Youlin was exhausted.

Just as the two of them were about to despair, a door suddenly appeared in front of them. The two of them were stunned for a moment, then they were overjoyed. Their footsteps became faster and faster. Finally, when they reached the door, they fell to the ground and panted heavily.

Zhao Youlin reached out her hand to push open the door, but she found that the door could not be opened at all. After slamming it a few times, the two of them realized in despair that the door had also been sealed by Lu Sizheng’s men in advance. However, they did not have the ability to kick it open at the moment.

For a person, the biggest difference in their heart was that they had gained hope, but they could only watch it slip away from their fingers. They felt even more despair.

After realizing that the door could not be opened at all, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng seemed to have lost all their strength in an instant. The two of them leaned back at the same time and lay on the ground. They did not let go of each other.

The two of them faced the fire and watched each other, as if they wanted to engrave the other’s appearance in their hearts.

At that moment, the two of them had given up on the hope of living. They only hoped that they could be together with each other at the last moment.

However, life was always full of surprises. Just when the two of them thought that they were going to die here, a series of banging sounds suddenly came from outside the door.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were shocked. They stared at the door that was shaking because of the banging. Their hearts started pounding. Finally, the moment the door was kicked open, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng hugged each other tightly and rolled to the side. They dodged the falling iron door and heard a familiar voice.

“Cough, cough, cough… damn it, there is so much smoke. If I was a little later, you would have been a pair of roasted suckling pigs. Yo, you two are really here. I’ve had enough of this for a day. Hurry up and get them out of here.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng only had time to see Su Jifeng’s face clearly. In the next second, two people came over to help Mu Tingfeng up, while Zhao Youlin was supported by Su Jifeng. They rushed out in a hurry.

The sound of the explosion echoed in their ears. It was like a wild beast chasing after them, ready to swallow them at any time.

They finally rushed out of the warehouse, which was about 50 square meters. Suddenly, a powerful force came from behind them, causing them to fall to the ground.

Zhao Youlin lay on the ground for a while. When the shock subsided, she hurriedly got up and looked at Mu Tingfeng, only to find that Mu Tingfeng was also looking at her.

After making sure that they were all fine, Mu Tingfeng’s gaze turned in a different direction. Zhao Youlin followed his gaze and looked over. The huge warehouse had already turned into a sea of fire. Under the burning flames… with a loud rumble, it completely collapsed.

Zhao Youlin looked at this scene and thought about everything that had happened inside. She couldn’t help but tear up.

Seeing this, Mu Tingfeng took the initiative to pull her into his embrace and said in a low voice, “It’s over.”

Zhao Youlin leaned against Mu Tingfeng’s embrace and said with a slightly nasal voice, “Yes, it’s over.”

That’s right, everything was over. All the grudges from the past, all the regrets and knots from the past and present lives had all been burned into ashes under this great fire. There was nothing left but the people by her side, the people who were waiting for her to return, as well as the future they shared together.

That night, many people in Shalnork saw a huge fire at the pier, burning a large stretch of pitch-black night sky. However, almost no one knew that this fire meant the end of certain things, and also represented the rebirth of some people.
