Chapter 474
Ye Xingguang walked up to Ji Qishu, put a big hand on Ji Qishu’s shoulder, and softened his voice, “Qishu, it’s not your fault, don’t…”
“How is it not my fault? When his body was still warm, I was feasting in a restaurant…” Ji Qishu couldn’t control his emotions and burst into tears, “Bro, I don’t have any brothers anymore, no one to go crazy with, no one to hang out with.”noveldrama
“Miss Ye, I’m willing.” Tang Xiao, who had been silent and kneeling in front of the brazier, stacking gold and silver, stood up and walked up to her.
Tang Xiao was the kind of man who held his breakdown inside. He wouldn’t cry or shout like Ji Qishu. He reached out, “Give me the medicine.”
Lin Nan and Mu Nianbai walked up, “Tang Xiao, do you believe her nonsense? Qishu is right, there is no such thing as a regret pill in this world…”
“Even if it’s fake, the situation can’t get worse than it is now. Even if there’s a one in a billion chance, I have to take it. Tang Zhou is my only brother.” Tang Xiao looked up at the portrait hanging in the shrine, echoing, “He’s my only brother.”
Ye Xingguang nodded, took out a small velvet box from his pocket, and handed it to Tang Xiao.
“Believe me, I won’t add salt to your wounds. I genuinely want to save Tang Xiao because he is Ye Xingguang’s brother.”
But hardly anyone present wanted to take her words seriously, even Tang Xiao who had accepted the medicine, he didn’t believe her deep down, but the grief of losing his brother persuaded him to try every possible way. Maybe then his heart would feel slightly better.
Tang Xiao clenched the small velvet box, “I just have to take it?”
Ye Xingguang explained, “Take the pill, close your eyes and concentrate, think of the moment you most regret and want to go back to, then you’ll return to that moment. But you only have one hour, after one hour, the regret pill will become ineffective, so to save Tang Zhou’s life, it must be within that hour.”
Tang Xiao’s determined face tightened, “An hour before Zhou’s death?”
“You can say that.”
Tang Xiao furrowed his brows, “During the time Zhou had the accident, I was on a plane.”
“Ah, then you can’t take it, let someone else take it, don’t waste my medicine, it’s hard to come by.”
There’s only one pill per month.
“Give it to me,” Ye Xingguang said, “I’ll save Zhou.”
But just as Tang Xiao was about to hand over the pill, a swift hand grabbed the velvet box from him before Ye Xingguang could take it, Leng Chenmo grabbed the pill and without discussing with anyone else, opened the velvet box and swallowed the silver pearl-like regret pill, his actions were so fast that no one could stop him.
Tang Xiao was about to punch Leng Chenmo in the face.
Leng Chenmo didn’t care about everyone else’s attitude and just asked Ye Xingguang, “Close my eyes, concentrate, is that all?”
Ye Xingguang was surprised for a moment, thinking that since Leng Chenmo had given him a jade sign that ordered mercenaries, she didn’t seem to have a reason to refuse him the regret pill. Ye Xingguang nodded, “Concentrate, remember, you only have one hour.”
Leng Chenmo looked up at the portrait hanging in the shrine. The next moment, his restrained eyebrows closed tightly as he focused and tried to remember what he was doing an hour before the incident with Zhou. What was he doing?
After thinking for a few seconds, the restrained man opened his calm eyes uncertainly and suddenly found that his surroundings were no longer the mourning hall, but the president’s office in the headquarters of Junxing Weibo.
That’s right, he was in Zhou’s office at the time, helping him deal with a mountain of paperwork.
