Lima syndrome

"Xu Shiyuan, please put away your vicious thoughts. How can a narrow-minded person like you understand how I feel about Bai Zhiyan?"

Che Jingcan looked down at Xu Shiyuan who was sitting on the ground, with uncontrollable disgust in his eyes.

"Zhiyan is right. Your method is low-level and despicable. Do you think you can use that scarf to provoke my feelings and love for him and make me disappointed or angry with him?"

"I tell you, wishful thinking."

"so what?"

Xu Shiyuan raised his head slightly, looked at him and coughed lightly. Che Jingcan's fragile look just now disappeared, and he returned to his usual arrogant look.

"Even if I do nothing, Che Jingcan, do you think you can get him?"

"Heh - this is not something you can decide." Che Jingcan sneered.

"You are so fucking pitiful, Xu Shiyuan. Bai Zhiyan treats you a little bit better and you cling to him like a blood-sucking worm. You must be crazy because of lack of love."

He looked away, not wanting to see any more of the filth that would dirty his eyes, and said the last words to him as he turned his back.

"This is my last warning to you, Xu Shiyuan. If you dare to do those disgusting things to Bai Zhiyan again, I will really kill you."

After saying that, Che Jingcan left without looking back, while Xu Shiyuan remained there motionless like a puppet who had lost his soul.

He knew better than anyone why he became friends with Bai Zhiyan in the first place. If he had been able to control his emotions and nothing unexpected had happened, wouldn't he have at least not ended up in this situation today?

Che Jingcan was right. Bai Zhiyan was a good man. It was because of his slight kindness towards him that he couldn't help but fantasize that he could own him and that he could own something that belonged only to him.

Just because of Bai Zhiyan's kindness, he developed countless evil thoughts. Perhaps he had no place in his heart at all.

Hypocrisy can never become true by virtue of its growth in power.

The same was true for him and Bai Zhiyan. He knew he was wrong. From the beginning, he should not have approached him with the intention of relying on power.

If she had been sincere to him at the beginning, would their relationship at least be better than it is now?

Xu Shiyuan felt extremely miserable and pathetic. He always knew that coveting things that did not belong to him would eventually be punished.

Therefore, he must make things that do not belong to him his own.

He supported himself with his legs and slowly stood up, shaking his hands to brush off the dust on his body. He would do whatever it took to get Bai Zhiyan, even if it would lead to his eternal damnation.

As soon as Che Jingcan walked out of the abandoned building, he saw the housekeeper running towards him in a hurry. He grabbed his arm tightly and started talking without even taking a breath.

"Master, go to the hospital, go to the hospital quickly!"

"Hospital? What do you mean by going to the hospital?" A bad idea suddenly came to Che Jingcan's mind. He held the butler's hand back with such force that the butler's expression began to distort.

"Why do I have to go to the hospital? Is mommy awake? Tell me if mommy is awake!"

The butler's face turned red, but his eyes were full of sadness. Only then did Che Jingcan notice that his face was covered with tear marks.

"Young Master, please...go and take one last look at Madam..."

"what?"

Che Jingcan was so obedient that he could hardly stand. He staggered back a few steps. The housekeeper hurried forward and managed to support his shaky body.

"Mom, she..."

"After the lady woke up today, she took advantage of the time when the nurse went to call the president and smashed the cup beside her without hesitation... and slit her throat to commit suicide..."

Che Jingcan's eyes turned black after hearing this. The housekeeper could hardly support him and led him into the car tremblingly.

Che Jingcan's eyes were empty and lifeless all the way, and he only showed some reaction after arriving at the hospital.

Che Jingcan didn't know how he got into the hospital. He only felt a deafening roar in his ears. He couldn't hear any sound and everything in front of him was very blurry.

He staggered into the ward and saw his mother lying lifelessly on the bed, with Che Jae-ho lying beside her with his head down and silent.

When he saw that only a deep crack remained on Yoon Mi-sun's neck, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and tears flowed uncontrollably.

He almost crawled to Yoon Mi-sun's bed with weak legs, gently held her hand, and felt the remaining warmth in her hand, as if all this was a nightmare.

"Mom, I'm back..."

He grabbed Yoon Mi-sun's hand and rubbed his forehead against it. Yoon Mi-sun usually liked to rub his head the most.

"Why don't you open your eyes and look at me?"

"Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never be willful again. You can beat me or scold me, Mom..."

But the woman just lay on the bed with her eyes closed peacefully. If you ignore her pale face and the horrific wound on her neck, she looked like she was sleeping quietly.

"Mom, how could you just leave me like this..."

Che Jae-ho's face was pale, even more so than Yoon Mi-sun who was lying soundlessly on the hospital bed.

He pulled away Che Jingcan who was still crying and wanted to take a closer look at his wife's face, but there was only a blurry mist in front of him.

"Meishan...why, Meishan..."

They have been together for twenty years, why did it end up like this?

"Ah——" Che Jae-ho's heart-wrenching roar echoed throughout the ward.

In the end, the father and son were helped out of the ward in an extremely ugly manner.

Cha Kyung-chan almost fainted from crying. When he regained consciousness, Yoon Mi-seon's body had already been sent for cremation.

"Master, you are awake..."

The housekeeper had been watching over him in the ward, and looked at him with heartache when he woke up.

"What's wrong with me--" Che Jingcan's headache was about to explode. He slowly sat up with the help of the edge of the bed. After a moment of trance, he remembered why he fainted.

"Mom, she..."

"Madam's body has been sent to the crematorium."

After hearing what the butler said, Che Jingcan almost fainted again. He grabbed the butler's hand tightly and insisted on rushing over immediately.

"Please wait a moment."

The butler held his arm and took out a letter from behind and handed it to him, "Master, I found this under the lady's pillow. I didn't give it to the president because your name was written on it. I think the lady only wanted you to see it..."

Upon hearing this, Che Jingcan snatched the letter, on which were neatly written the words "Dear Xiaocan".

Seeing his panic, the butler couldn't help but feel distressed. He couldn't think of any words to comfort him, so he only said after careful consideration, "Maybe the lady has already prepared to leave."

Regardless of the butler's presence, Che Jingcan immediately opened the letter, and the butler also tactfully left the room.

"Xiaocan, I should be gone by the time you see this letter."

This is the first sentence of Yoon Mi-seon’s suicide note.

"Don't ask me why I want to leave you. Mom has never thought of abandoning you, nor have I ever considered you a burden. I'm just too tired.

"For so many years, I have been very happy to have such a lovely and obedient child like you. You are the only color in this black and white world. I have been alone since I was a child, but you are the last person with whom I have a blood relationship in this world. You are my only relative."

"Don't blame my leaving on your fault. This is my own choice. It is clearly our fault that you were born into such an unhappy family."

"In fact, I should have left fifteen years ago, but then I saw how adorable you were. You held my hand and cried until my heart broke. Because of your tears, your mother stole another fifteen years of your life."

"But mom really can't hold on any longer now."

"Zhiyan is a good boy. I liked him the first time I saw him. Maybe it is fate that he will become the one you love. But mom has told you countless times that love cannot be forced. Your father and I are the best proof of this."

"The price of insisting on one's own way is bound to be mutual torture and a bad ending."

When Cha Kyung-chan arrived, the cremation was already over. Cha Jae-ho's eyes turned red and his face looked ugly, and he cried while holding Yoon Mi-sun's urn.

His mother was gentle and kind, always showing infinite tolerance and patience towards him, but now she can only be put into a small jar.

"Give me my mother's ashes."

When Cha Kyung-chan's voice, so calm that it did not cause any ripples, rang out, Cha Jae-ho seemed not to hear it and was still holding Yoon Mi-seon's urn and refusing to let go.

"I said give me my mother's ashes."

Seeing that he was indifferent, Che Jingcan didn't care about the father-son relationship and directly tried to grab it. Until then Che Jaeho finally reacted. He glared at Che Jingcan like a wild beast and held the jar tightly, refusing to let go.

"What do you want to do, Che Jingcan!"

He kicked and stomped Che Jingcan indiscriminately, making Che Jingcan's already filthy clothes even dirtier, but he ignored his yelling and scolding, and was determined to snatch the things in his hands.

"Where do you want to take mom's ashes? To our family cemetery?"

He took the hit from Cha Jae-ho head-on, and while Cha Jae-ho was attacking him, he used his own advantage to snatch Yoon Mi-seon's ashes.

"Mom said she hopes her ashes can be sent to St. Ann's Church. She doesn't want to die with you!"

"shut up!"

Che Jae-ho's eyes turned red, and he completely ignored the fact that the boy in front of him was his son, and tried his best to snatch the jar from his hand.

The people around watched the father and son tearing each other apart like mad beasts, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.

"She said she can't escape in this life, but she definitely won't see you again in the next life. I want to take mom away, don't even think about trapping her in death!"

"Impossible! I don't believe that Meishan would say that!"

Che Jingcan raised the jar high and looked at the man in front of him with a disheveled face in pain.

"Now that mom is gone, do you still want to continue dreaming? You clearly know that mom doesn't love you at all. How long are you going to deceive yourself?"

"you shut up!"

His words hurt Che Jae-ho's heart. He forced Yoon Mi-sun to live with him for more than 20 years, but in the end it ended up like this. How could he be willing to accept this?

"I must take my mother away today, and you can't stop me."

"She is my wife and will be a member of my Che family all her life. Where does she want to go? Where can she go?"

Looking at Cha Jae-ho's crazy appearance, who can associate him with the gentle and elegant Chairman Cha of the past.

"I always made my mother unhappy when she was alive. At least now, after she passed away, I also want to make her happier." Che Jingcan put down his hands and hugged the urn tightly in his arms.

"I will take my mother to St. Ann's Church. This was her last wish."

As he said this, he took out the letter that Yoon Mi-sun left for him. Che Jae-ho snatched the letter with trembling pupils, but there was no mention of anything about him in the letter, not even a single word left for him.

After reading the last sentence of the letter, Che Jae-ho finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Xiaocan, if your father asks, tell him that I have never loved him in this life. I would rather never reincarnate and endure endless torture in hell, and I don't want to meet him again in the next life."

Che Jingcan can finally take Yoon Mi-sun away, but he feels like he is going to die too. Even his mother has left him, so what reason does he have to continue living?

On the other side, when Bai Jitai was taken away by Ji Chengxun, he fainted due to excessive blood loss and emotional fluctuations. The medical staff bandaged him and took him back to the police station.

When he woke up, it was already late at night. Chi Seung-hoon sent the police officers away and stayed by his side. The first person Bai Ji-tae saw when he woke up was Chi Seung-hoon.

"Prosecutor Chi."

Bai Jitai's voice was as low and hoarse as ever. Even though he had lost his usual hostility after being injured, he still exuded an unstoppable sharpness.

"I didn't even know that the Bai family had such a traitor. When did dear Inspector Chi collude with my brother?"

Until now, the scene of Bai Zhiyan throwing himself into Ji Chengxun's arms is still fresh in his mind. Whenever he thinks of it, he wishes he could tear the person in front of him to pieces.

"Don't say such harsh words."

Ji Seung-hoon was very dissatisfied with the word "collusion" he said, and refuted him with a frown, "I have known Ji-yeon for a long time, and he is my cherished brother."

These words successfully stimulated Bai Jitai. He sat up and grabbed Chi Chengxun's collar with a fierce look in his eyes.

"What a bullshit brother, I'm his fucking brother!"

Chi Chengxun looked at him calmly, "I don't think Zhiyan thinks so."

"I don't care what he thinks! He is a member of the Bai family. Even if he dies, he can't get rid of this identity."

"That's just your idea." Ji Chengxun pushed Bai Jitai's hand away with a serious face and adjusted his collar, not forgetting to continue to finish off the opponent.

"Zhi Yan reported to me personally that you illegally imprisoned him. President Bai, I think your energy has almost recovered. Wait for me to summon you for trial tomorrow."

"Bring Bai Zhiyan to me. I want to confront him face to face!"

However, Ji Chengxun ignored him, chuckled, showed contempt, stood up and left without hesitation, and did not stop even though Bai Jitai was yelling at him behind him.

After Chi Chengxun left, Bai Jitai leaned against the cold wall, his eyes becoming more sinister. He didn't expect that Bai Zhiyan, who had always been weak, would dare to betray him and join forces with Chi Chengxun to deal with him.
