Just a moment ago it was sunny, but now dark clouds have gathered and thunder is rumbling.
As Yu Tang walked quickly forward, he choked back tears and cursed, "You brat, you're so foolish!"
"I did everything voluntarily! You don't need to feel so guilty!"
"He actually tried to kill himself! How foolish!"
He seemed to be scolding Wei Mosheng, but it was more out of self-blame and heartache.
In this first life, he didn't invest much emotion at all.
She even prioritized the task above all else, arrogantly completing what she was supposed to do, and then wanted to walk away unscathed, leaving behind a letter for Wei Mosheng to find someone he truly loved.
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Brother Tang..." Wei Mosheng's voice was very weak. If his lips hadn't been so close to Yu Tang's ear, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
Upon hearing the call, Yu Tang paused in his tracks.
Is that you?
Tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and Yu Tang's throat tightened even more as he answered Wei Mosheng, "Yes, it's me, I'm not dead..."
"So you have to survive! You absolutely must survive! Do you hear me?!"
As they were talking, they arrived at the entrance of the cemetery. An ambulance rushed over and saw Yu Tang carrying Wei Mosheng, who was covered in blood. The doctor quickly came up to help lift the man into the ambulance.
Yu Tang also got into the car and went to the hospital together.
Inside the hospital, Yu Tang stood anxiously waiting outside the emergency room.
Not long after, Wei Mosheng's grandfather also arrived at the scene. The old man, leaning on his cane, looked at Yu Tang and was genuinely stunned.
Because the young man in front of him looked so much like Yu Tang, the one Wei Mosheng had been longing for.
Although there is a slight age difference, this face is exactly the same as the one in the file.
Old Master Wei is no pushover. The last time he saw Wei Mosheng attempt suicide by cutting his wrists because of a video, he investigated Yu Tang's identity and learned that the man was a boxer nearing thirty who had helped Wei Mosheng during his most difficult time. Later, in order to get Wei Mosheng to terminate his contract with the boxing ring, he signed an agreement with his grandson Wei Chen to participate in a life-or-death boxing match, and ultimately died in the ring.
Such kindness is indeed something Wei Mosheng should remember forever.
But it would never be to the point of dying alongside the other person.
The last wrist-cutting incident and this poisoning incident finally made Old Master Wei realize that his illegitimate grandson probably had feelings for the deceased Yu Tang that went beyond gratitude.
If we don't come up with a way to stall Wei Mosheng, even if we manage to save him this time, something bad will inevitably happen again.
Thinking of this, he asked Yu Tang, "I heard that you found him in the cemetery and took him to the hospital?"
While he was observing Yu Tang, Yu Tang was also observing him.
Furthermore, Xiao Jin also clearly explained the identity of the person in front of him in his mind.
Therefore, Yu Tang was not intimidated.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I brought him here."
He pretended not to know Wei Mosheng, and asked out of concern for an ordinary person, "Are you his relative?"
"I guess so..."
Yu Tang noticed the coldness lurking on Old Master Wei's face and felt a chill run down his spine. He continued, "Then may I ask, do you know why he, a perfectly healthy person, would take poison?"
Chapter 2
The first time to revive the villain (02)
"Because someone he cared about very much died." Old Master Wei was quite patient as he recounted Wei Mosheng's story to Yu Tang.
“The person he cares about has a name quite similar to mine.” After listening to what Grandpa Wei said, Yu Tang said, “My name is Lin Yu Tang, and his name is Yu Tang, but he is a bit older than me.”
Hearing him say this, the old man's thought became even clearer.
"So there's such a coincidence?" Old Master Wei pursed his lips, his expression shifting several times. Then, he gently stroked the tip of his cane, sighed, and asked Yu Tang, "You've seen it too. The reason my grandson has become like this is because of the death of the person he cared about. So, could you please do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?"
“I hope you can play the role of that person named Yu Tang, stay by my grandson’s side, and help him get out of his slump.”
Yu Tang paused for a moment, a question mark slowly appearing above his head.
Even Xiao Jin and Bai Feng were stunned.
Two seconds later, Xiao Jin revealed the truth: "Master, does he mean he wants you to become his substitute?"
There was no way to refute it.
"Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing." Seeing him in a daze, Old Master Wei continued, "We can sign an agreement. Whether you succeed or not, I will pay you a reward, a price that will definitely satisfy you."
Yu Tang was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It seems Xiao Jin was right; the old man really intends for him to stay by Wei Mosheng's side as a stand-in.
Becoming your own substitute?
This is remarkably similar to Wei Yuan being jealous of himself.
This eased his initial sadness and self-blame considerably.
However, once the agreement is signed, he will have a legitimate excuse to stay by Wei Mosheng's side, which will make it much easier for him to take care of Wei Mosheng in the hospital in the future.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to help you with this."
“Even if you don’t give me money, I will do my best to help him out of his predicament.”
With the medical team appointed by Grandpa Wei, Wei Mosheng's life was finally saved.
He will need to stay in the intensive care unit for three more days until he is completely out of danger before he can be transferred to a regular ward.
Yu Tang took the initiative to ask the old man to personally accompany Wei Mosheng, ensuring that Wei Mosheng could see him the moment he woke up.
Grandpa Wei was very pleased that he was so enthusiastic.
He then presented him with the agreement to sign, and provided him with all the information about boxer Yu Tang. Finally, he arranged a room for him in the hospital and provided him with everything he needed for care before leaving the hospital.
Where in Yutang is the information still needed?
He remembered those memories clearly, but thinking about them made him feel extremely guilty.
Looking through the glass at Wei Mosheng, who was on a ventilator and had his eyes closed on the hospital bed, Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in his heart finally subsided.
He understood that a key condition for taking away Wei Yuan's soul fragments was to give the villains of these worlds a happy ending, so that they would give up this body and leave on their own.
Yu Tang's understanding of a satisfactory ending is to grow old with the villains of each world.
During this period, neither of them can have any accidents, and both must live a healthy life.
The phone in his pocket vibrated for the nth time, interrupting Yu Tang's train of thought.
He took it out and saw the name displayed: The most beautiful and adorable older sister in the world.
Yu Tang was utterly shocked by this name.
But then he remembered that Lin Yutang's sister seemed to be a real brother-obsessed person, and that the way she addressed him in the contacts must have been something she requested, so he understood.
Before he could even speak, a frantic cry came from the other end of the line: "Tangbao! Are you alright? I just heard from a friend that they saw you at the hospital. I called your classmates at school, and they said you ran away halfway through the tomb sweeping. I was so worried something had happened to you, so I'm rushing to the hospital now. I'm almost at the parking lot..."
"Huh?" Yu Tang was stunned by what the other person said, and quickly said, "Sister, I'm fine, I just brought a patient who had overdosed on poison to the hospital..."
"Taking poison?" Lin Fei parked the car and asked Yu Tang, "Are you talking about that illegitimate son of the Wei family in City A?"
Lin Fei owns an entertainment company in City A, so she has a relatively wide range of information channels.
Although Grandpa Wei had tried his best to keep the news under wraps, Wei Mosheng disappeared after his live stream today, and later someone witnessed him being carried into the hospital, so the news still got out.
“Hmm…” Lin Fei’s thoughts sank upon hearing Yu Tang’s reply.
She asked Yu Tang where he was on the floor, rushed up, and saw the blood on her younger brother's body. She pulled Yu Tang aside and said, "Come on, let me take you back to change your clothes first. You can talk to me about this in the car."
Sitting in the car, Yu Tang called his classmates back at school before telling Lin Fei about the incident in detail.
She kept the stand-in agreement a secret, only saying that she felt sorry for Wei Mosheng and planned to visit him at the hospital often in the future.
Lin Fei's expression remained somewhat solemn after hearing this.
She said, "Tangbao, I still hope you can cut off all ties with the Wei family."
"Although I don't know much about Wei Mosheng, his deceased brother and father were no good people."
"Their business methods are shrewd and cunning, making them a fearsome presence in the industry. Nobody wants to get close to them."
“You’re just naive and easily fooled. You were fooled by what Old Master Wei said.” Lin Fei said, “The Wei family doesn’t deserve sympathy. You saved Wei Mosheng this time, so consider it a good deed. Don’t provoke him again in the future.”
Yu Tang was bewildered by Lin Fei's words.
He quickly said, "Sis, I promised it myself, I can't go back on my word, can I?"
"And I think Wei Mosheng is really quite pitiful."
“He is an illegitimate child who was only found and taken back a year ago. His personality is definitely different from that of the Wei family. Besides, you can tell from how much he cares about that man named Yu Tang that he is not a bad person at heart.”
"Haven't you heard those old sayings?" Lin Fei sighed and earnestly told Yu Tang, "You can know a person's face but not their heart; there's always a reason why someone is pitiful."
“You just returned from abroad and are unaware of the situation in City A. I will not allow you to come into contact with such dangerous people.”
"And even if you ask your older brother or your parents, they will absolutely not allow you to have any connection with the Wei family."
"But……"
"No buts." Lin Fei, who usually spoiled her younger brother without any limits, suddenly became firm at this moment and said, "After I take you to change your clothes and have a meal, I'll send you back to school. During this time, you absolutely cannot go to the hospital again, understand?"
This time, Yu Tang did not answer.
He was discussing with Xiao Jin and Bai Feng how to get Lin Fei to agree to let him take care of Wei Mosheng.
"Why don't you cry, Master?"
Xiao Jin started offering bad advice: "It's said that Lin Fei dotes on Lin Yutang; her heart softens whenever she sees her younger brother cry."
I believe that as long as you perform well, no one can resist your acting skills!
Yu Tang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the only option left.
So he closed his eyes to gather his emotions, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already brimming with tears.
He sniffed and took a tissue, pretending to wipe away his tears.
