Upstairs, Jingxu looks around the room the people had brought him and Ting in. There were a total of ten men, including the boss.
"I planned to let the both of you live, but it seems..."
The middle aged man stands up from his chair and walks over to Jingxu, "You two have been abandoned."
Hearing the man’s words, both Jingxu and Ting’s eyes widen in disbelief. They were abandoned? No one is coming?
"Hahaha!!! What? Did you two think you both held some kind of importance in this world?"
Ting falls to his knees. His face turns pale as a sheet of white paper. Abandon? So.... his parents...
Next to Ting, Jingxu stare into nothingness. His mind filled with thousands of questions. Did his grandfather and sister really abandon him? Did they not care about him anymore? No.... that’s not true.
The man continues to laugh, then seeing how dreadful the two beat up kids expressions were at this moment, he gasp in shock.
"Oh... you actually thought.."
He curl his lip into a sinister and mocking grin. His eyes move from Jingxu to Ting and laughs again.
"Hahah! Don’t worry, pretty soon you’ll be reunited with your parents."
Ting’s eyes widen as thousands of arrows pierce his heart at once. His shoulder slump like a giant rock was dropped on him.
He knew his father was dead, but... his mother too?
"Liar!! We haven’t been abandoned!!!"
Jingxu roars in anger at the man. He won’t believe this evil man’s words. His grandfather and sister will never throw him away. If they wanted to, they could have done it a long time ago.
"Hahah, whether you believe me or not, it’s the truth. Why would I lie to you at a time ?"
The man shrug his shoulders, turning his back to them, he wave his hand.
"Get rid of them. I have no use for them."
The men in the room all nod their heads and point the guns in their hands at Jingxu and Ting.
Seeing this, Ting clench his teeth as he glares at the man sitting behind the desk. Struggling to stand up, he gathers every strength left in him and throws himself at two men on the side to cause distraction.
The bulky man that Ting hit, grabs Ting by the neck and chokes him.
Ting struggles to breath as his eyes look to Jingxu, as if telling him to escape. Ting didn’t care if he dies. He had lost all hope in mankind when he went to police station to ask for help and they turned him down.
He regrets one thing in life and that is having drag Jingxu into this mess without asking. If Jingxu can escape from this, even if he dies, he’ll have no regret.
He struggles in his words to Jingxu as the big hand around his neck tightens.
Jingxu stare in disbelief at Ting. Run? Ting was willing to risk his life for him.... He clench his fists tightly together.
Instead of running away, Jingxu struggles up and use his head to hit the man choking Ting. The man stumbles and his hand loosens on Ting, dropping him.
"Argh! Brothers get him!!!"
The bulky paint yells in pain to his brothers. He looks down at Ting and starts kicking.
One man grabs Jingxu up and wrap his arms around Jingxu, then another man starts throwing fists at Jingxu.
Turning into a punching bag for the man, Jingxu holds in his pain as blood slowly makes it way out of his mouth.
Jingxu spits a mouthful of blood at the man hitting him.
"Fuck! I’m gonna fucken kill you!!"
The man takes a step back and reach for the pistol at his waist. He rack the slide and points the tip on Jingxu forehead.
Not letting fear show on his face, Jingxu glares at the man with cold eyes. His expression was one of taunting as if the word fear was not in his brain. Even if darkness was creeping in his vision, his grandfather and sister raised him to be a strong man in heart.
Seeing this, the man sneers.
"I admit, you got guts kid. It’s too bad you have to die."
Ting’s eyes shot open seeing the situation Jingxu is in. He struggles to move, but he felt so useless. One of his leg is broken and the man kicking him was making him lose conscious.
"No.... don’t kill him...."
The man pulls the trigger and shoots Jingxu.
Jingxu slowly falls to the ground as Ting’s eyes widen in disbelief.
