I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 831: Framed (Part 3)

Before she could get close to Ji Yebai, she was already kept away from afar, the cold voice of a police officer echoing through the empty hall: "This Mr. Ji is suspected of shooting the president of the Ning Corporation—Ning Jingshen!"

Bang...

It was like a clap of thunder exploding in her mind. Ning Xixi looked at Ji Yebai, his eyes deep as the sea, filled with an intense gloom that seemed impossible to dispel. His thin lips moved: "Don’t worry about me, go to the hospital."

"You must be mistaken! It can’t be him, it just can’t be..." Ning Xixi’s voice was tinged with sobs. Two police officers firmly held her, and she could only watch helplessly as Ji Yebai was taken into the police car.

The short distance of just over ten meters seemed to separate two worlds.

The police car started, taking Ji Yebai away.

Ning Xixi was near collapse, biting her hand to force herself to stay awake, trembling as she called the people from the Ji Family and the Song Family.

...

Hospital.

When Ning Xixi arrived, the red light of the operating room was still on.

Gong Xiu stood in the hallway, and when he saw her running over, he raised his hand to pat her back.

"How is my dad?" Ning Xixi, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, clutched Gong Xiu’s arm tightly.

Gong Xiu’s eyes were filled with sorrow, and he held Ning Xixi by the shoulders, "No matter what, you are my sister, Xixi, I will take care of you..."

"Who’s your sister!" Ning Xixi’s eyes reddened, "I don’t need you to take care of me, I have my dad, he... he even took me to school today, he promised me he would take good care of me from now on..."

Gong Xiu closed his eyes in pain, saying nothing more.

Seeing this reaction, Ning Xixi slid hopelessly down the wall, sitting on the ground.

The marble floor was cold, but she seemed not to feel it, her fingers unconsciously picking at the floor.

Had she been too greedy? Was that why the heavens wanted to punish her this way?

She would rather be a child with no father to care for her than have Ning Jingshen leave this world.

Dad... please don’t abandon me...

Don’t die... don’t...

Noises echoed through the hallway, and Ning Xixi looked up in a daze, seeing the executives of Ning Corporation and Lu Qinghe along with people from the Lu Corporation all arriving. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Lu Qinghe was beside herself with grief, pounding on the operating room door, crying uncontrollably.

Others hurried to support her, offering comfort from all sides:

"Madam Ning, please don’t be too sad, take care of yourself!"

"President Lu, you must stay strong!"

"President Ning is blessed, he will surely be okay!"

"..."

Lu Qinghe sobbed, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

The operating room doors opened.

The medical staff came out, their expressions sorrowful, bowing to Lu Qinghe, "I’m sorry, we did all we could..."

"No—" Lu Qinghe let out a heart-wrenching scream, her body swaying as if she couldn’t bear the blow, about to faint.

A trembling voice, rich with nasality, asked, word by word: "What did you say?"

The doctor looked over at the sound. This hospital had Ning Jingshen as a shareholder, and he recognized this as Ning Jingshen’s daughter. He spoke apologetically: "Miss Ning, we’ve been trying to resuscitate him for over an hour. Mr. Ning, on the way here, already showed no signs of life..."

Unexpectedly, Lu Qinghe came over and hugged Ning Xixi, "Xixi, oh my poor Xixi..."

Ning Xixi blinked, faintly feeling liquid trickling down.

The whole world seemed to turn gray in an instant.
