Murder the Dream Guy

Bai Muchuan lifted his head in shock. “Why is he asking to see Xiang Wan?”

Cheng Zheng shook his head. “Ye Lun’s very weak and only requested to see her.

What was going on?

Xiang Wan was now fully awake. She sat straight and looked at Bai Muchuan with a bewildered look.

Bai Muchuan pondered for a moment. “He’s dying?”

Cheng Zheng continued to shake his head. “I’ve seen him. If Professor Wang is not here today, he might have died on the operating table. However, Professor Wang said that he won’t last for long. If there’s anything you want to ask him, better hurry up…”

Hurry up?

Ye Lun wanted to see Xiang Wan, not him. How would he be able to ask anything?

Bai Muchuan remained silent.

Cheng Zheng looked at the time. “Why not hear him out first?”

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan helped a baffled looking Xiang Wan up. “I’ll accompany her in.”

…

Ye Lun had been moved from the operating theatre to the Intensive Care Unit.

Xiang Wan followed Bai Muchuan and entered Ye Lun’s ward without even going through the disinfection process.

There was a doctor and two nurses inside. Even though they had entered the ward, they didn’t receive any reaction from the two nurses whose attention was focused on Ye Lun. The doctor alerted them with a cough and their gaze finally moved away from Ye Lun.

The doctor nodded his head at Bai Muchuan and said the same thing as Cheng Zheng.

“We’ve done our best.”

Bai Muchuan nodded then furrowed his eyebrows. “Is he asleep or awake?”

Ye Lun’s eyes were closed and there were all kinds of tubes being inserted into his body. At one look, he didn’t seem to be alive. His face was so colorless that he was not much different from a corpse.

The doctor touched him gently. “Your family is here to see you. Open your eyes—”

The doctor had thought that the person Ye Lun wanted to see must be someone really important to him and should be his family.

Bai Muchuan glared at him coldly with some unhappiness. “Ye Lun, I know you’re awake. Hurry up and open your eyes. Don’t think that you can avoid all these…”

Ye Lun’s fingers moved and soon, his eyes were half-opened.

Nobody knew how he felt as he was pulled back from death, although it was short-lived. He moved his lips and looked at Bai Muchuan for quite a while before his fingers twitched. “The rest of you… go out.”

He spoke so softly that it was almost inaudible.

Bai Muchuan walked closer to him with a grim face. “Ye Lun, I know that there’s no point persuading you. But if I were about to leave the world, I wouldn’t leave with regrets. Tell me…”

Ye Lun’s lips quivered. “… Go out.”

He was not loud but the tone was firm.

Bai Muchuan took a deep breath. Before he could say anything, the doctor tapped his arm and motioned him to move aside. Then he told him in a low tone, back facing Ye Lun, “The condition of the patient is very bad. He could pass out any moment. Don’t provoke him… If he passes out, he might not wake up again.”

“…” Bai Muchuan pursed his lips.

“Let me stay here.” Xiang Wan took a look at Ye Lun then at Bai Muchuan. “Don’t worry. He’s already like that. He can’t do anything to me. I’m not that weak, I can handle a dying patient.”

She knew that Bai Muchuan was worried about her safety.

However, the Ye Lun at this moment was too weak to be a threat.

Bai Muchuan nodded his head then glanced at Ye Lun again. He didn’t raise any more objections.

Before he left, he hugged Xiang Wan.

“Be careful,” he whispered in her ear. “Remember to take a video…”

“Got it, I’ll be careful.”

Xiang Wan hugged him back.

At this moment, every word that Ye Lun said to her may be related to the case.

If she was alone with him in the ward and there was no other evidence to support her testimony, her words wouldn’t be taken as solid evidence.

Therefore, it was very important to have some video evidence.

Xiang Wan sat beside the bed and activated the video function. As she didn’t want Ye Lun to notice it, she could only put her phone on the blanket so he wouldn’t see it. But the end result of this would be that Ye Lun’s face couldn’t be seen. Xiang Wan was a little anxious but she had no choice but to make do with the current solution—

“What do you want to say to me?” She calmed down and asked him.

“Just… do it.” Ye Lun’s eyelids moved. “Take your phone… film… me…”

Xiang Wan: “…”

This guy was too smart.

He could think of what the police wanted.

But why was he so nonchalant about it?

He was not afraid of being questioned.

He was not afraid of being captured on video.

Or maybe because of his occupation, that makes him naturally friendly to the camera?

As Xiang Wan thought about this, she complied with what he said and aimed the camera at him.

“Ye Lun, what do you want to tell me?”

Ye Lun sounded weak. “… It’s about… you…”

Xiang Wan was baffled. “What about me? If you still want to make up stories about me, then don’t waste time anymore. Bai Muchuan’s right in saying that one shouldn’t die with regrets. About those cases, you still don’t want to come clean?”

Hur! Ye Lun seemed to be laughing yet at the same time, that also felt like he had some phlegm in his throat. After that, he was as if out of breath somewhat.

Xiang Wan was disturbed when she saw that. She was worried that he might just kick the bucket so she quickly comforted him.

“Don’t be agitated. Stay calm. You can say whatever you want, I’ll hear you out…”

“I’m… not… agitated…” Ye Lun shook his head slightly, his voice was soft like a mosquito. “… There’s nothing much… about the cases… All of you… already know…”

“What we have are simply speculations.”

“… There’s nothing more.”

“Mm?”

“An Ying… no, Wei Gang… my dad… he must have… said everything…”

“…”

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. “How did you know?”

Ye Lun tried to smile, revealing a strange expression.

“He’s… like that… spineless…”

Fine.

He knew his dad very well.

An Ying did spill all that he knew.

But that was only after Ye Lun was on the run.

Xiang Wan gave it a thought and decided to explain to him so that he knew his dad did love him. “In fact, he never betrayed you before you were on the run… This dad of yours… he loves you.”

“Hur… hurhurhur…”

Ye Lun still laughed like that.

Just as he was at the boat.

Nevertheless, when he was on the boat, he was energetic and confident.

In his current state, it felt like fate was mocking him.

“… I don’t want… to talk about this…”

What did he want to say when he didn’t even want to talk about his dad?

Xiang Wan said, “Then tell me, what do you want to say?”

Ye Lun’s weary eyes stared at Xiang Wan. He couldn’t seem to summon much strength and he laid on the hospital bed weakly.

A long while later, he managed to talk again. “Do you… want to know… why Cui Ming… wanted you dead?”
