"But why did you lie to me now..."
"I won't bother you anymore... I won't say I like you anymore... I won't put pressure on you, I won't do things you hate..."
"Can't you come back...?"
"Brother Tang...please, come back, please come back..."
Chapter 37
Died for the villain for the first time ⩨100023456789⩨
After that day, Wei Mosheng had a fever for a long time and lost a lot of weight.
He read the letter Jiang Yuan left him and learned his true identity.
Not long after, members of the Wei family found him and took him to the famous wealthy manor in City A.
The old man of the Wei family first expressed his longing and guilt to him insincerely.
Then, with a serious expression, he said that he would train him to inherit the Wei family business.
Wei Mosheng found it laughable for a moment.
He used to dream of surpassing Wei Chen. He envied Wei Chen for being a rich young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and for winning at the starting line from birth. He thought that was the reason why Wei Chen won Yu Tang's favor.
But now that Wei Chen is dead and Yu Tang has left, the entire Wei family has become something he can easily obtain.
But he couldn't be happy at all.
However, he would not refuse the request from the old man of the Wei family.
He had to take over the Wei family.
He wanted to use the Wei family's network of connections to help him find Yu Tang.
He didn't believe he couldn't find Brother Tang even if he searched the whole country.
As Yu Tang said, Wei Mosheng was very talented; if one had to say, he could almost be called a genius. He could learn anything very well.
He figured out the Wei family's business operations in just six months, and under the guidance of the vice president, he thoroughly understood the Wei family's network of relationships in less than a year.
So he officially began searching for Yu Tang.
In the past, trains, airplanes, ships, high-speed trains, and various towns and villages were used.
I checked almost everything.
They discovered that the other party had not been active at all during the past year.
There are no spending records, no mobile phone usage records, and no travel records.
Wei Mosheng was surprised, but a more intense sense of panic welled up inside him.
It wasn't until a wealthy boxing enthusiast in the circle sent him a video that he finally realized why Yu Tang had vanished for so long, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Because the man was already dead.
The person he had been searching for had died a year ago...
Surprisingly, he remained unusually calm when he first learned of the news.
The video is half an hour long and is entirely a one-sided massacre.
By the end, Yu Tang's two arms and right leg were broken, his face was almost unrecognizable, and blood splattered across half of the boxing ring.
Wei Mosheng clicked on the video, watched it a second time, then a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth...
On the tenth time, he ran to the bathroom, hugged the toilet, and coughed and vomited violently.
Finally, when she couldn't vomit anything more, she started crying.
He threw the phone away, the sound coming through the speaker. He then punched it, shattering the screen. The shards cut his hand, blood dripping to the ground, but he seemed oblivious to the pain. He then held the broken end of the phone to his wrist artery and slashed it repeatedly, once, twice, three times…
The intense pain caused his body to tremble involuntarily. Wei Mosheng sobbed and collapsed onto the cold tiles, letting the blood flowing from his wrist stain the floor and his clean white shirt.
When he woke up again, he was in the hospital.
His grandfather stood by the hospital bed, his face pale, and angrily asked him, "Why did you commit suicide?!"
"There was no suicide."
His voice was hoarse, and his throat was burning with pain.
He looked at the old man and shook his head: "He just doesn't want to live anymore."
"What are you saying?!" The old man trembled with anger, supported by his bodyguard. "You're going to drive me crazy!"
Wei Mosheng forgot what the old man said after that.
Or perhaps he simply wouldn't listen to a word he said.
After being discharged from the hospital, he went to find Li Xun and asked him what had happened.
Li Xun still wanted to keep it a secret, but Wei Mosheng said that he already knew Yu Tang had passed away. Upon hearing this, Li Xun realized that there was no point in hiding it from Wei Mosheng anymore.
Li Xun told him that the old house in his house was not purchased by him, but by Yu Tang who then transferred it to him.
He and Wang Zhi also overheard people at the boxing ring that day saying that the reason Yu Tang kept going to see Wei Chen was because Su Yu said that if he didn't see him, he wouldn't let Wei Mosheng have an easy time.
Yu Tang had wanted Wei Mosheng to leave the boxing ring for a long time. But with a ten-year contract, Su Yu, that bloodsucker, wouldn't agree to terminate it without paying a ten million yuan penalty.
That's why he signed a contract with Wei Chen to participate in SR's life-or-death boxing match, in which he would receive 20 million. Of that, 10 million would be paid to Su Yu, and of the remaining 10 million, 5 million would go to Wang Zhi and Li Xun. The rest would be kept in a card and given to Wei Mosheng by Li Xun.
Li Xun took a bank card out of the cabinet and handed it to Wei Mosheng: "This is from Tang Ge for me and Wang Zhi. We haven't touched a single penny."
Although I know you don't need this money anymore.
But I still hope you can accept it, otherwise Wang Zhiliang and I will feel uneasy.
"Brother Tang said he would definitely come back alive..." Recalling the past, Li Xun's eyes reddened, and he covered his mouth to calm down before continuing, "Who knew that the opponent would actually use banned substances!"
Where is Brother Tang buried?
Wei Mosheng interrupted Li Xun expressionlessly, asked for the address, and then turned and left without saying another word.
My heart is numb with pain.
The young man leaned against the car window, closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with the words and deeds that Yu Tang had once said.
He once thought he had suffered all kinds of hardships, but he did not realize that since meeting Yu Tang, he had been protected by the other party, living every minute and every second in the solid fortress built for him by the man.
Would a money-grubbing underground boxing ring owner really give him shoes? Money? And even offer to terminate his contract for free?
It's funny to even talk about it.
He actually believed it.
How could Li Xun, a boxer who doesn't earn much money, spend 250,000 yuan to buy a dilapidated building that's worth less than 150,000 yuan?
But he believed it too.
Tang Ge left him a bank card with five million yuan in it, and said that he had just returned to his hometown, but the return date was uncertain.
He fucking believed it too.
And foolishly, he searched all over the country for a year.
Wei Mosheng laughed as he thought about it.
The laughter sounded like it was being squeezed out of the throat, abnormally distorted and unpleasant.
He covered his mouth, unable to cry, and tried desperately to laugh.
The eerie laughter only stopped when he knelt before Yu Tang's grave and brushed the dust off the man's photograph.
"Brother Tang..." he said, "You've lied to me so badly."
“He told me he went back to his hometown, but in reality he slept on this tiny plot of land for a whole year.”
"Now I've finally found you. Don't sleep anymore, get up and look at me, okay?"
The cemetery was quiet. The person in the photo had a slightly roguish smile, yet was excessively handsome, and looked at him with gentle eyes.
Wei Mosheng pursed his lips and pressed his forehead against the cold stone tablet.
He thought he would never cry again, but his eyes still welled up with tears, and his voice gradually became hoarse: "Get up and look at me..."
"Look at me..."
"Call me Ah Sheng again, ruffle my hair again, flick my forehead again, and say to me, 'You brat, you've got some nerve...'"
He gritted his teeth, and tears streamed into his mouth, salty and bitter.
"Please, please, wake up, don't sleep..."
"Brother Tang, please wake up... Brother Tang..."
"Brother Tang..."
After returning from the cemetery, Wei Mosheng had someone bring the boxer who killed Yu Tang a year ago to the Wei family.
Putting on boxing gloves, he followed the example of what the man in the video did to Yu Tang, striking him in return until he was crippled for life.
The following day, he held a live media conference.
He also invited the judges from the medical competition he participated in a year ago, as well as the teachers from his school.
He did win the top prize in the competition that year. However, due to the issues involving Yu Tang and the Wei family, he ultimately did not attend the awards ceremony.
He has now gathered everyone who attended the awards ceremony back then, all in an effort to recreate that ceremony.
It also requires media outlets to broadcast live on all platforms.
Before going on stage, he took out a glass bottle from his pocket, poured out the medicine inside, swallowed it, and then went on stage to give his speech.
Holding his trophy, he paid no attention to the surprised looks from those around him, and spoke calmly and peacefully.
"I am honored to receive this award, and I would like to thank my mother."
Thank you to my teachers, thank you to my school, thank you to my classmates, thank you to my major. But the person I'm most grateful to is my friend Tang Ge.
"His name is Yu Tang. He is a powerful underground boxer. He is handsome, has a great physique, and his smile is irresistible to both men and women. He is my master, my brother, and my benefactor."
"Without him, I wouldn't be standing here today."
Before I met him, I thought I was someone abandoned by the world. I thought I was in hell. I thought I had no right to pursue my dreams.
