Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Unfortunate News

Tang Yuchen had been gone for seven days, and in eight more days, he would be able to return.

And these days, she had been counting the time, waiting for life to pass.

An Ruo realized that her attachment to him had grown increasingly strong. Her inner defenses were also slowly crumbling.

She clearly understood that if she continued like this, she would inevitably fall in love with him hopelessly.

However, she could no longer prevent her heart from succumbing…

As the moon rose and the sun set, the day quickly passed, and to her, everything seemed so calm, so normal.

The next morning, as soon as she woke up and was walking to the living room with Kangkang in her arms, her phone rang.

The call was from Mo Hua, whom they hadn’t contacted for a long time.

Why would he suddenly call her?

An Ruo answered the phone with confusion, and Mo Hua spoke in a heavy voice, “An Ruo, there’s some unfortunate news I need to tell you. I hope you can be prepared.”

In that instant, An Ruo’s heart began to pound violently. Even before he disclosed the unfortunate news, she was already panicked.

“What do you have to tell me?” she asked, dazed, while numerous bad guesses tumbled through her mind.

Mo Hua was silent for a moment before speaking in a deep, solemn voice, “Yesterday, the police in M City caught a drug trafficking gang, and Tang Yuchen was among them. He was shot in the heart on the spot and fell into the sea; his body has not yet been retrieved…”

Boom—

An Ruo’s pupils dilated, her mind struck by a bolt from the blue, making her head spin.

Whatever Mo Hua said next, she could no longer hear.

In her mind, his words kept circling.

He was shot in the heart on the spot, he was shot in the heart on the spot…

This can’t be true, it can’t possibly be true!

“An Ruo, are you still listening to me?” the man on the other end asked worriedly.

An Ruo’s face was ashen, and she said with a trembling voice, “Mo Hua, don’t joke about this kind of thing…”

“…I’m sorry, but it’s true,” the man’s voice was very heavy.

An Ruo’s vision swam again, she must have been hallucinating, this surely couldn’t be true!

“Are you sure it’s him? On what basis do you think it’s him, how could he possibly be involved in drug trafficking, this can’t be true!” She screamed with all her might, as if the louder she shouted, the more correct her words would be.

“It’s him, there were reporters tracking and filming the scene, the person in the video is him. Wasn’t Tang Yuchen supposed to be out at sea, with M City as his destination? What they caught was the vessel transporting goods from J City to M City; they arrived at the docks yesterday. During the transaction at the docks, that’s when the police moved in…”

Mo Hua’s words utterly shattered An Ruo’s last hope.

It really was Tang Yuchen, it really was him!
