Chapter 265: Chapter 265: For Real

When Jiang Li heard Ying Xi’s voice, his body shuddered.

His already pale face turned even paler, losing all color even from his lips.

"Xiao Xi..." Jiang Li’s lips quivered as he silently murmured the name.

A wave of sharp pain spread through his heart, and suddenly, he heard Ying Heng’s tender voice in his mind, "Me? My parents died early, and I don’t have any relatives, just a younger brother. He’s the most important person to me... Oh, of course, Lili, you are just as important as he is."

So, Jiang Li had told himself countless times, since Ying Heng was no longer around, the least he could do was to protect and take care of his younger brother. Yet, he never expected things to turn out this way.

"I just couldn’t understand how my brother, who worked as a security guard, could have died in the line of duty. How could he be dead?"

Ying Xi’s eyes were bloodshot, as if stained with blood.

"He was so young, such a good person, warmhearted and kind, not to mention his respect for the elders and love for the young, even cats and dogs received his gentle treatment. How could he just be dead? Then someone told me, he died in the line of duty."

Ying Xi forced a smile, a piercingly bitter smile.

"Considering his job indeed had its dangers, although it’s so unreasonable in this society, I accepted it because they told me he died protecting his employer’s son. That made sense, because he was the kind of person who would protect others without thinking about himself."

Ying Xi stared intently at them, the three men from the Jiang Family.

"What? Isn’t it the truth? Are you saying that the person who came to give me the condolence money and my brother’s urn was lying to me?"

"Xiao Xi..." Jiang Li finally managed to voice out, no longer just murmuring silently, but it still sounded like a mere breath of air.

Ying Xi looked at him, "No wonder I could never understand how there could be unexplained kindness in this world. You were too good to me right from the beginning. You said it was because you were my fan, and I believed you."

Ying Xi chuckled bitterly, a sadness in his eyes that had never been there before, "I actually believed you."

Ying Xi had no intention of digging deeper; his brother was already gone.
