Chapter 303: Obituary, Shi Mubai is Dead
At that moment, Qi Chengze could hardly believe his ears.
She stopped breathing.
Shi Mubai stopped breathing.
No one knows how much pain Qi Chengze is in right now.
It was the kind of pain that tore your heart apart.
Just a few days ago, he was laughing and talking with me, but in just one day, he was gone forever.
"Sir, sir, are you still listening?" Although the phone had been thrown to the ground, the call continued. "Please accept my condolences. If you have time, please prepare the funeral clothes and come to see the deceased one last time."
I do not know how long it has been.
Qi Chengze stood up from the ground and stumbled out of the villa.
Just as he stepped outside, Qi Chengze seemed to remember something and turned back into the villa.
He found a notebook.
The notebook contained Madam Shi's contact information.
Old Madam Shi was one of the few relatives Shi Mubai had in this world, so the news of his death would definitely be communicated to her.
With trembling hands, Qi Chengze dialed the number of Old Madam Shi.
It's already past 10 p.m.
Just as Madam Shi was getting ready for bed and had changed into her pajamas, a cell phone rang in the air.
This is Madam Shi's private number.
Only close relatives and friends know.
Hearing the phone ring, Old Madam Shi felt puzzled, "Who could it be so late?"
I picked up my phone; it was an unfamiliar number.
The moment she saw the number, Madam Shi had a vague sense of unease.
She answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, are you Madam Shi?"
"It's me, you?"
Qi Chengze tried his best to calm himself down. "Hello, Madam Shi. I'm sorry to bother you so late. My name is Qi Chengze. I'm Mu Bai's friend."
"So you're Mu Bai's friend," Old Madam Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "Did you need something from me?"
She was really afraid it was a call from relatives back home.
Her relatives in her hometown, who are of the same generation as her, are all quite old. If they call so late at night, it's usually not for anything good.
But Shi Mubai is still young.
Shi Mubai will definitely be fine.
His friend must have something else on his mind to call so late.
"Madam Shi," upon hearing Madam Shi's voice, Qi Chengze could no longer suppress his grief and cried as he said, "Mu Bai, Mu Bai has had an accident. He's in the Beijing Hospital now. The hospital just informed me that he stopped breathing ten minutes ago. You, you should go see him one last time."
Qi Chengze is a man.
His father taught him from a young age that a real man sheds blood but not tears.
Even if you must shed tears, you shouldn't do so in front of others.
He really couldn't hold back today.
That's Shi Mubai.
The two were not only university classmates, but also business partners and close friends who could talk about anything.
Although Qi Chengze and Shi Mubai had disagreements because of Tang An, it was just a minor friction between friends. He never thought of letting Shi Mubai die!
Upon hearing Qi Chengze's words, Old Madam Shi was stunned, her blood running cold.
what?
Has something happened to Shi Mubai?
The last one?
Stop breathing!
Madam Shi felt as if the sky was about to fall.
Shi Mubai is still so young.
He's not even thirty years old yet!
Madam Shi took a deep breath. "Young man, you can't joke about things like this! Did you and Mu Bai have some kind of conflict?"
joke.
This young man must be joking.
Shi Mubai is in such good health, how could something happen to him?
"Madam Shi, I know this is hard for you to accept right now, but I'm not joking. Please go to the hospital immediately!"
Madam Shi felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in that instant.
His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.
"Mu Bai! Mu Bai!"
Shi Mubai was a child whom Old Madam Shi watched grow up.
That child lost both parents at a young age, and his journey has been extremely difficult and arduous.
Even in her wildest dreams, Madam Shi never imagined that Shi Mubai, this junior, would pass away before her!
The old lady's wailing was heard by the servants outside.
The maid immediately pushed the door open and came in.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Upon entering, the servants saw Old Madam Shi slumped on the floor. Startled, they immediately helped her up, asking, "Old Madam, what happened to you?"
Madam Shi cried until she almost fainted. "Quick, quick, prepare the car. I need to go to the hospital in Beijing."
"Okay." The maid nodded.
Madam Shi had no idea how she got into the car or how she got to the hospice ward.
When she arrived at the ward, Qi Chengze was already there.
Shi Mubai was lying on the bed.
He was covered with a white sheet.
Even their heads were covered.
Seeing this, Madam Shi's already broken emotions reached their peak. She pushed away Zhang Ma's hand that was supporting her, stumbled to the bedside, and hugged Shi Mubai tightly, "Mubai, Mubai, it's me, Second Madam."
"What on earth happened? Why are you so desperate?"
"Please open your eyes and look at me, okay?"
Seeing the old lady crying like this, Qi Chengze took a deep breath, feeling a lump in his throat.
"Mu Bai, how can you bear to let your second grandmother, an old woman, bury her son!"
"I should be the one dying, not you!"
No one knows how much pain the old lady is in right now.
Although Shi Mubai disappointed Old Madam Shi the last time she saw him.
But Shi Mubai is, after all, her grand-nephew.
She watched the child grow up.
In truth, the child is not a bad person; he just hasn't seen through Tang An's true colors yet.
No matter how miserably Madam Shi cried, Shi Mubai remained completely unresponsive.
With trembling hands, Madam Shi pulled back the white cloth covering Shi Mubai's face.
I saw.
Shi Mubai kept his eyes closed, his face very pale, looking as if he were asleep, very peaceful.
The more Madam Shi looked at him, the more heartbroken she became. She reached out and touched Shi Mubai's eyebrows and eyes, "What a good child! You are so young, you have such a long life ahead of you, why did you have to think of such a thing!"
Shi Mubai is not married yet, and has never even been in a relationship.
Qi Chengze stood behind Madam Shi. "Madam, please accept my condolences. By the way, this is Mu Bai's suicide note. Please take a look."
Madam Shi wiped away her tears, turned around and took the papers from Qi Chengze. She should have just looked at them, because once she did, she felt even worse. It felt like there was a wad of cotton stuck in her chest, and she could hardly breathe.
The child thought of everything, but not of himself.
After reading the suicide note, Madam Shi remembered that she needed to inform Shi Nanxing and Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning received the call after midnight.
Upon hearing the news of Shi Mubai's death, Jiang Ning was also very surprised; she even thought she was still half asleep.
She is a doctor.
It had only been about ten days since she last met Shi Mubai.
Shi Mubai looked very well that day, with a rosy complexion and white teeth.
He doesn't look like a dying person at all.
Even if someone dies suddenly, there will still be a process involved.
Jiang Ning collected her thoughts and then said, "Grandma, am I...am I dreaming?"
Old Madam Shi's voice was hoarse, "Shengbao, I'm at the hospital now. Mubai committed suicide by cutting his wrists! The doctor said he had already woken up, but he was determined to die..."
Jiang Ning then realized that it was true. She sat up in bed with a start. "Grandma, don't cry. I'll go tell my dad right away. We'll come back tonight."
She and Shi Mubai were blood relatives, and respecting the dead is paramount. No matter what happened in the past, she should return to the capital to send Shi Mubai off on his final journey.
"Okay." Old Madam Shi said in a hoarse voice, "Shengbao, please be careful on your way."
"Got it, grandma."
Jiang Ning changed her clothes as quickly as possible, combed her hair briefly, and went to Shi Nanxing's room.
Shi Nanxing was not asleep yet, but was sitting at his desk drawing.
His painting skills are quite good. If Jiang Ning were to push open the door at this moment, she would definitely find that Shi Nanxing was painting someone else.
It was Si Huashang.
Ding ding ding--
Hearing the knock, Shi Nanxing put down her paintbrush and went to open the door.
"Who?"
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Shi Nanxing was somewhat surprised. "Shengbao, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Jiang Ning said, "Dad, we have to go back quickly. Grandma just called and said my cousin has passed away."
gone?
Shi Nanxing asked in confusion, "Where did Mu Bai go?"
Although Jiang Ning did not mention who this cousin was, she had no other cousins besides Shi Mubai.
"My cousin committed suicide." Jiang Ning had experienced death herself, and she knew how precious life was. Shi Mubai's situation was also very painful for her. "Grandma just called and told us to hurry back to see him off on his final journey!"
The very last journey?
Clang.
The pen in Shi Nanxing's hand fell directly to the ground.
He never expected that he would experience something like this less than a month after waking up.
Shi Mubai was cheerful and strong from a young age, so why did he commit suicide?
Shi Nanxing tried hard to calm herself down, her eyes bloodshot. "Then, let's go quickly."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "Dad, you go and pack up first, I'll go tell Grandma."
Madam Si had already fallen asleep when she heard Jiang Ning's words. She was struck dumb. She had met Shi Mubai once at Jiang Ning's family reunion banquet.
Although they had only met once, she had a deep impression of Shi Mubai. Holding Jiang Ning's hand, she asked incredulously, "Shengbao, your cousin is gone? Is he... is he that cartoonist? The really handsome one?"
Shi Mubai's appearance is indeed impeccable.
He inherited all the good qualities of the Shi family, so it's normal that Madam Si would remember him.
“Yes.” Jiang Ning nodded.
Madam Si sighed, "I remember he was so young! He wasn't even thirty yet! How could such a young man be so foolish! Life is truly unpredictable."
If you're not even afraid of death, what can't you overcome?
“I don’t know the specifics either,” Jiang Ning said, looking at Madam Si. “My cousin left in a hurry, and my father and I have to take a plane back immediately. Grandma, it’s too late now, so I won’t say goodbye to my uncle and aunt and disturb their rest.”
"Alright, alright, you should all go back now," said Madam Shi, putting on her coat, and stood up. "Have you contacted the captain?"
The Si family owns a private jet.
Just these past few days, Si Huawen had some business to attend to and applied for a flight for the next week. Now, as long as he contacts the captain, he can fly at any time.
“I’ve already spoken to Butler Liu,” Jiang Ning said.
"That's good."
Soon, Jiang Ning and Shi Nanxing got into the car to go to the airport.
The driver was Uncle Li.
As they got off the bus, Uncle Li handed Jiang Ning a large bag of things. "Miss Sun, thank you for saving my husband's life last time. These are local specialties that my husband and I brought back from our hometown. They're not worth much."
Please accept this.
Uncle Li later took his wife to the hospital for a check-up.
The doctor said that it was fortunate that the emergency treatment was timely, otherwise the wife would have died.
Even though a long time has passed, Uncle Li still feels a sharp pang of fear whenever he thinks about it.
The son is not yet married and has a weak personality, so his wife is the only pillar of the family.
If the wife really collapses, then their family will fall apart.
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Jiang Ning accepted the local agricultural products from Uncle Li with both hands without hesitation. "You're welcome to visit Beijing sometime."
Uncle Li was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Ning accept the agricultural products he handed over with both hands.
Actually, these things were given to Jiang Ning by Uncle Li's wife, Zhang Ma.
Uncle Li was extremely nervous the moment he handed the agricultural products to Jiang Ning.
He was afraid Jiang Ning would refuse.
Jiang Ning is of noble status; what good things hasn't she seen?
Will she really buy agricultural products?
did not expect.
Jiang Ning not only accepted the gifts, but also received them with both hands.
This is enough to show that Jiang Ning never looked down on them, the working class, and when Jiang Ning looked him in the eye and spoke to him, there was no arrogant arrogance in his eyes.
Uncle Li was flattered and overwhelmed. “Yes, Miss Sun, if I have time, I will definitely take my husband to the capital.”
After saying that, Uncle Li added, "Miss Sun, son-in-law, I wish you both a safe journey."
Because it's a private plane, you can take off directly after passing through security.
About ten minutes later, Jiang Ning and Shi Nanxing boarded the plane.
It was already past 1 a.m. Shi Nanxing picked up a blanket and handed it to Jiang Ning, "Shengbao, you should get some sleep first. We'll have a lot to do once we get to the capital."
“Okay, Dad,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “You should get some sleep too.”
