I Said He'd Die in Three Days, and He Absolutely Will!

Hearing his younger sister's words, Ning Wangshu immediately turned back, smiling as he looked at her, and said, "Don't worry about them, they've already gone where they belong."

After a pause, Ning Wangshu added, "Ruoxuan, can you tell me what exactly happened? Why did you run away when you saw me, and refuse to acknowledge me as your Older Brother anymore?"

"And also, who were those two people? I thought I heard them saying something about you signing a Letter of Understanding?"

At this, Ning Ruoxuan's eyes instantly reddened again.

Her emotions flared up violently, and she suddenly shoved Ning Wangshu away, sobbing as she cried out, "What kind of brother are you?!"

"I'd rather not have a brother like you! If it weren't for you, how could Mom have been hit by a car and killed? You might as well have just died out there, why come back at all!?"

"Wah..."

With that, Ning Ruoxuan crouched down in grief, burying her face in her hands and weeping bitterly.

"Wha, what!? Mom, Mom got hit by a car and died... died..."

Ning Wangshu's eyes widened in disbelief, as if struck by a thunderbolt!

His face instantly turned pale, and he staggered back a few steps, utterly unable to accept the truth his sister had spoken.

After a long moment.

Ning Wangshu still couldn't believe the news of his mother's passing. He swallowed hard, his throat dry, and looked down at his sister crouched before him, weeping.

Taking a deep breath, he crouched down in front of her as well, his throat constricting as he asked hoarsely, "Ruoxuan, what exactly happened?"

"Wasn't it only a little over three months? Why! Why did Mom get into a car accident in just three short months!?"

Ning Wangshu could barely contain the grief and fury in his heart.

The last sentence was more like a cry of outrage and a challenge to the injustice of fate!

Hearing Ning Wangshu's words, Ning Ruoxuan seemed to find an outlet. She suddenly lifted her head, her eyes bloodshot and filled with tears as she glared at him, gnashing her teeth, "You still have the nerve to ask what happened?"

"Fine! You want to know? I'll tell you right now!"

"If you hadn't disappeared without a trace, leaving no news at all, how could Mom have gone looking for you and been hit by a drunk driver? It's you! You killed Mom!"

"If it weren't for you, Mom would never have died!"

"Now do you understand? Are you satisfied?!"

Ning Ruoxuan stared at him, her eyes brimming with hatred.

"Wha, what!?"

Ning Wangshu felt as if he'd been struck by lightning!

He never imagined that his mother's death was because of him! She had died in a car accident while searching for him.

In that moment, Ning Wangshu was filled with self-blame and regret.

"I killed Mom... it was me who killed Mom..."

Ning Wangshu murmured in a daze, his expression utterly lost.

Seeing him like this, Ning Ruoxuan seemed to find some relief. She sneered, "Now do you think you're still fit to be my brother?"

"Even on her deathbed, Mom was thinking of you. But you? Not only did you cause her death, you didn't even come back to see her one last time, nor did you give her a proper send-off!"

As she spoke, tears silently streamed down Ning Ruoxuan's face again.

But she stubbornly wiped them away with her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "So now, I don't need a brother like you anymore. I have nothing to do with you."

"Go wherever you want, keep playing your disappearing act if you like—no one will care whether you live or die anymore!"

Listening to his sister's accusations, Ning Wangshu had no words to counter.

In the end, he could only speak hoarsely, "You're right. I'm not a worthy son, nor a qualified brother. Hah..."

At this, Ning Wangshu let out a long breath, struggling to calm the turbulent emotions inside him, then slowly continued, "But I am still your brother. That's a bond of blood that can never be changed!"

"I don't expect you to forgive me right now! But rest assured, from this day forward, I will never allow anyone to bully you again!"

"No matter who it is, even if it's The Jade Emperor himself, if he dares to bully you, I'll make him pay the most painful price!"

"And I will do everything in my power to be a good brother, I promise!"

Ning Wangshu's tone was unwaveringly firm and resolute.

What had already happened couldn't be changed; the only thing he could do was make amends!

To make up for the debt he owed his sister.

To do his utmost to take care of her, so that his mother's spirit in heaven could rest easy!

However, Ning Ruoxuan was not swayed by his words.

She sneered, "Oh, is that so? Since you're so capable, not even putting The Jade Emperor in your sights, then how about that murderer who killed Mom while driving drunk? Do you dare to make him pay with his life?"

With that, Ning Ruoxuan took another deep breath, "You asked me earlier what those two people wanted me to sign a Letter of Understanding for, right?"

"Well, I'll tell you now—they wanted me to sign an agreement to forgive that murderer!"

"Those two people were brought in by the other side to pressure me into signing the Letter of Understanding, so he could avoid criminal liability. During this time, they've used every kind of threat and bribe to try and make me cave."

"Out of options, I even moved here from somewhere else just to dodge them, so that damned murderer would be sentenced and punished!"

Saying this, Ning Ruoxuan added bitterly, "But even just sentencing him is letting him off too easy. He has no remorse whatsoever—not once has he shown even a hint of apology."

"Right from the start, he sent his underlings carrying money to find me and get me to sign the Letter of Understanding."

"He... he thinks money can fix everything, can buy someone's life, can let him walk away scot-free? I won't have it! Even if I die, I won't sign that Letter of Understanding for him!"

"So..."

Ning Ruoxuan looked at Ning Wangshu again. "If you really still want me to acknowledge you as my Older Brother, then make that murderer pay with his life for Mom!"

"Otherwise, I will never recognize you for the rest of my life!"

After hearing his younger sister lay out the whole story from start to finish, Ning Wangshu replied without a moment's hesitation: "Alright. Do you know that person's name?"

"And also, where is he now, or do you have a photo of him?"

Seeing Ning Wangshu answer so decisively, Ning Ruoxuan was momentarily stunned, hesitated a little, but still spoke up: "That person is called Xu Yiming. I don't have a photo."

"But I know he's the vice general manager of Dingsheng Group, and also the son of Dingsheng Group's chairman. You can find some of his information online."

"As for where he is now... I'm not sure. I only know he was already released on bail pending trial."

Hearing this, Ning Wangshu nodded. "In that case, finding him shouldn't be hard."

With that, Ning Wangshu looked at Ning Ruoxuan and said, "Ruoxuan, I'll head out now. Once I've taken care of things, I'll come back to find you!"

Seeing Ning Wangshu get up and leave, Ning Ruoxuan couldn't help calling out: "Where are you going?"

Ning Wangshu turned back with a smile and said, "To make that drunk-driving murderer who killed Mom pay with his life, of course!"

"Are you crazy! I was just venting—are you seriously going to kill someone? This is a society ruled by law. If you kill someone, you'll be sentenced too!"

Ning Ruoxuan shouted urgently.

Even though she said she wouldn't acknowledge Ning Wangshu as her Older Brother, he was still her brother. Just as he said, they were bound by blood—how could she actually let Ning Wangshu go kill someone to avenge their mother?

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her words, Ning Wangshu just smiled again and said calmly, "I know this is a society ruled by law, so I won't kill anyone directly."

"At least... I won't let anyone know, or leave any evidence that I killed someone."

"But that person will definitely die!"

"Three days! In three days, you'll hear news of his death..."

With that, Ning Wangshu turned and left.

Ning Ruoxuan stamped her foot in frustration and yelled angrily, "Ning Wangshu! You stop right there! Don't do anything stupid!"

But Ning Wangshu didn't look back. He just waved a hand behind him and said, "Don't worry. These months I've been missing, your Older Brother didn't come back empty-handed."

"I said he'll die in three days, so he will die in three days! And no one will ever know his death has anything to do with me..."

Watching Ning Wangshu's retreating figure, Ning Ruoxuan was filled with irritation.

She wanted to harden her heart and ignore Ning Wangshu, but after hesitating, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She could only stamp her foot in frustration and hurriedly chase after him...

"Ning Wangshu! Ning Wangshu! Do you hear me!?"

But when she reached the corner, there was no trace of Ning Wangshu anywhere...
