Chapter 994 - 994 980 Theres something I havent told you (3)

Chapter 994: 980, There’s something I haven’t told you (3) Chapter 994: 980, There’s something I haven’t told you (3) Scalding blood splattered onto Jian Qing, and her eyes shook with shock.

She reached out to support Shen Yan, but a figure was quicker than her, snatching Shen Yan away.

“Ayan!”

Shen Hua covered his chest, trying to stop the gushing blood.

Shen Yan collapsed onto him, his blood-soaked hand weakly grasping his, “Brother, consider this my final request, let them go; please.”

“Don’t talk right now,” Shen Hua’s face revealed a rare panic as he urgently said, “Ada, go find a doctor, quickly.”

“Brother, it’s too late,” Shen Yan said hoarsely, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. “Promise me, let them go.”

“Why do such a foolish thing, weren’t you going to kill me?” Shen Hua hysterically yelled. “I won’t let you die; if you dare to die, I’ll kill them all.”

Shen Yan managed a weak smile, but couldn’t help coughing a few times; bright red blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, causing Shen Hua’s eyes to crack with fury.

“Where is the doctor?”

“Second Young Master, hang in there,” A’er, carrying Dr. Kesen, ran over from the yacht, his expressionless face filled with tension.

“How is it?” Shen Hua’s icy gaze swept towards Dr. Kesen, sending a chill through him.

Dr. Kesen apologetically said, “I’m sorry, Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Master, he…”

“Impossible.” Shen Hua grabbed his collar, his voice harsh, “Save him quickly, and if you can’t, you’ll join him in death.”

“Eldest Young Master, I really can’t do anything,” Dr. Kesen stammered.

“Brother.” Shen Yan’s weak voice rang out, and Shen Hua let go, hurriedly lowering his head to look at him.

“Ayan, don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you; hang in there a bit longer.”

Hearing the gunshot, Jian Wei supported herself against the yacht and staggered out.

“Weiwei, why did you come out?” Mo Xiao saw her and quickly stepped forward to support her.

“An, I need to go over there.” Jian Wei’s gaze locked onto Shen Yan, her brows and eyes displaying a touch of pain.

Mo Xiao looked at her and ultimately couldn’t stand up to her, lifting her off the yacht.

Jian Qing watched Mo Xiao carry Jian Wei over, not stepping forward to stop them.

Mo Xiao put down Jian Wei, who saw that Shen Yan’s white shirt was soaked red with blood, her eyes flickering with tears.

“Ayan.”

Shen Yan gave a strained smile and reached out his hand to her.

Jian Wei quickly grasped his hand, her eyes moistening, “Ayan, why are you so foolish?”

“Awei.” Holding her hand, Shen Yan then held Shen Hua’s hand, “Brother, you’ve always cared for me and Awei the most. Whenever Awei and I used to get into trouble, it was you who would help us out. Just let me be willful one more time. Brother, can’t we be like before, good as always; can you bring back the Shen Hua we respect the most?”

Shen Hua’s gaze fell lightly, his grip tightened, veins standing out on his large hands.

As Shen Hua stayed silent, Shen Yan mustered his last breath, “Awei, can you call me ‘brother’ one last time, as you used to? Consider it my final wish.”

Shen Hua’s gaze trembled faintly; Jian Wei sniffed and nodded.

She looked up at Shen Hua, placing her free hand over his.

Their hands piled together, as if returning to the days of their youth.

Back then, they were each other’s most trusted companions.

They were family, friends in life and death, and the best comrades-in-arms.

“Hua, brother.”

Shen Hua abruptly lifted his head, Jian Wei held back her tears and squeezed out a smile.

“When we were little, you said you’d protect me and Ayan, and Ayan and I said we’d protect you. Do those words still count now?”

Shen Hua stared at her, his lips trembling slightly.

After a long while, he found his voice, “What did you just call me?”

“Shen Hua, do you remember? The first time I started talking, I called out your name. My dad was so angry he gave you the cold shoulder for a day. You told me that you would risk your life for Ayan and me. Now I want to tell you very clearly, I would do the same for you and Ayan, but this is not love,” Jian Wei said calmly.

“Bro, let go of your obsession, Awei will forgive you.” Shen Yan held the hands of the three of them, “You have to live well for me, don’t stain your hands with blood anymore.”

“Ayan, don’t sleep, I forbid you to die,” Shen Hua shook him, a deep sense of despair rising in his heart.

“Bro, I’m so tired …”

His eyelids uncontrollably closed, and his breathing gradually weakened.

“Ayan.” Jian Wei grabbed his drooping hand, her eyes reddening again, a thin mist blurring her vision.

Shen Yan’s head tilted, and his breathing slowly ceased.

“Ah—”

Shen Hua cried out in sorrow, his head thrown back in a roar.

He held Shen Yan tightly, the grief he’d suppressed in his heart suddenly erupting.

“Ayan!”

Not far away, Jian Qing watched as Shen Hua was wracked with unbearable grief, her gaze falling on the lifeless Shen Yan in his arms, her nose sour and her throat feeling as if something was stuck in it.

A’er knelt on the ground, unable to hide his sadness.

Shen Hua held Shen Yan, his blood seemingly turning to ice within him.

After a long while, he lifted his head to look at Jian Wei, his eyes harboring too many emotions.

His voice hoarse, he asked, “If we weren’t related by blood, would you have chosen me?”

Jian Wei held his hand, her fingertips tracing the bracelet on his wrist.

“Fate doesn’t make sense and doesn’t consider precedence. Ayan and you mean an irreplaceable part of my life, very important people. When you plotted against me, my heart hurt so much. Anyone could betray me, but not you and Ayan, because the three of us are one,” Jian Wei said evenly.

“Actually, there’s something I never told you. The moment you shot at me all those years ago, I had another gun on me.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Hua looked at her in shock.

He knew with her skills, it wouldn’t have been hard for her to take revenge on him by shooting him at that time, so why did she choose to jump into the sea instead of taking action against him?

“Are you wondering why I didn’t shoot you?” Jian Wei’s eyes, dull, met his, “How could I bear to shoot you when I promised to protect you?”

Shen Hua trembled all over, the creased memories playing in his mind, and when he met her clear eyes, he closed his own, letting tears roll down.

This was enough …

He opened his eyes, looking at her tenderly, “Can I hug you again like when we were little?”

Jian Wei smiled faintly, propped herself up, and wrapped her arms around him voluntarily.

Shen Hua raised his hands to hug her tightly, a trace of relief crossing the depths of his eyes, “Weiwei, I’m sorry, I failed to protect you and Ayan.”

It was he who destroyed the trust between them; it was he who had caused Ayan’s death.
