In fact, when Xu Yun and Wu Yuandong boarded the speedboat and decided to let Lin Sihai stay in Taiwan alone and face Leng Chen alone, they were prepared for the worst. This was also the reason why Xu Yun did not promise anything to ensure Lin Sihai's safety, and why Wu Yuandong had been hesitating about this choice.
In the end, they all made the right choice. The only unavoidable thing was the opponent's ruthlessness. Although Wu Yuandong had already prepared for the worst, after seeing Lin Sihai's current situation, he still could not accept the reality. The person he respected most in his life had died so tragically. He could not believe Lin Sihai's last mood.
To be able to face the fear of the Death God calmly, how much courage did it require? How much conviction did it require? Wu Yuandong did not know if he could hold on to the last moment if he were in Lin Sihai's shoes. What Lin Sihai had to do was not only this. He not only had to hold on to the last moment, but also forced himself to hold on for a longer time. The length of time he could hold on determined whether Xu Yun and the others had enough time to complete the task on the high seas.
The earlier Lin Sihai died, the earlier Leng Chen would return to the first ship in the high seas, which meant that Xu Yun and the others would be in danger for one more minute.
The more Wu Yuandong thought about it, the more upset he felt. He punched the wall crazily. He just hoped to numb his mental torture with this physical pain. He was under too much pressure. He did not know how to face Lin Suyin, nor did he know how to face the brothers of the Three Lotus Association, nor did he know how to convey this matter to the other leaders of the Bodyguard Group.
The extreme struggle and pain in his heart made Wu Yuandong vent his emotions on the wall even more crazily. His fist angrily smashed on the wall again and again. Even when the wall was stained with the blood of his fist, he still had no intention of stopping.
Xu Yun did not stop Wu Yuandong's crazy behavior. If it were him, he would do the same. If the things that had been suppressed in his heart could not be completely vented, it would become a burden for Wu Yuandong for the rest of his life. Xu Yun would rather break his knuckles than leave an indelible shadow in Wu Yuandong's heart.
Compared to the pressure that Wu Yuandong had to face from all sides, Xu Yun appeared to be much more "relaxed". He only needed to face Lin Suyin, he only needed to explain to Lin Suyin the occurrence and existence of this fact, to tell her that the inevitable and irreversible thing had already happened, and that no one could reverse the situation.
The dead could not be brought back to life. When this was said to others, it seemed so easy. However, when faced with everything that was happening around them, no one could bear it. After all, Lin Sihai did not leave because of the inevitable causes of birth, old age, illness, and death, but because he chose to sacrifice himself.
…
For a few hours, everyone was immersed in great pain.
Wu Yuandong vented all his energy on the wall and sat on the ground, paralyzed. He finally accepted reality and looked helplessly at Xu Yun, "Brother, what should I do … I need your help. I must avenge the President!"
Xu Yun walked over to Wu Yuandong's side and sat down on the ground as well. "I promise you that I won't let Leng Chen get away scot-free. I'll bring him to you personally so that you can kill him in front of all the Three Lotus Society members! He's the real culprit behind the President's death! I will let you give the brothers of the Three Lotus Society the best explanation! I swear! "
"In this life, other than the President, the person I trust the most is you." Wu Yuandong grabbed Xu Yun's shoulder tightly, "I also swear, if you need me, even if I lose my life, I will give Leng Chen the punishment he deserves!"
"Trust me." Xu Yun's eyes were resolute. "I will help you appease the Young Miss. You only need to appease the brothers of the Three Lotus Society and find a way to tell the truth to the Guardian Fishing Team. Let those who have sacrificed silently for Turtle Island be mentally prepared. Hei Zhong's troops are over, they can use this time to rest. "
Wu Yuandong nodded. "I will … Then, I will leave the Young Miss to you."
"Okay," Xu Yun replied.
"Actually, the Young Miss is quite pitiful … Although many people envy her, she has status, status, and money. She seems to have everything, but what she desires is the simplest. She doesn't want the empty status and unnecessary material conditions," Wu Yuandong said. "I have been in the Three Lotus Society for many years and know how much the President has sacrificed for the greater good. The Young Miss has never received any maternal love since she was young. The President, who seems to be by her side, has devoted all his time and energy to the Guardian Fishing Team and the Three Lotus Society. It can be said that … even paternal love has become an extravagant hope for her."
Xu Yun nodded. He could tell. When he first came into contact with Lin Suyin, he could tell that Lin Suyin was willing to drive all the way from the north to the south just to eat a plate of oyster omelet on her birthday. She didn't care about that plate of oyster omelet at all. She just missed the fatherly and motherly love she had when she was young.
"Of course, the Young Miss is also stronger than any of us imagined." Wu Yuandong continued, "Although I don't know how she will accept this reality, I am certain that she will accept it all. I really don't want her to face it in so much pain. Brother, I can tell that the Young Miss feels differently about you. It has been different since the beginning. Now, the most important person to her is you. She will want to have you by her side when she is in the most pain. "
"I will." Xu Yun promised, "I will help her get through this period. If she needs me, I can do anything for her."
Wu Yuandong looked up at Xu Yun, "Then take her away. Take her away from Taiwan temporarily. She has too many painful memories in this place. When I think of her facing those unbearable pain alone, I feel uneasy. I feel that I have let the president down … The president has sacrificed too much. I don't want him to sacrifice his daughter's happiness for the rest of her life. The only person I believe in is you. You can give the Young Miss the happiness she wants. Only you. "
Xu Yun nodded and agreed to everything. This was what he could do and what he should do.
…
Lin Sihai's death seemed to have covered the entire Taiwan with a layer of haze. The continuous cloudy and rainy weather seemed to be God's mourning for Lin Sihai.
At the scene of the memorial service, hundreds of leaders of the Three Lotus Association and the Guard Fishing Group stood. The venue was densely packed with tens of thousands of people. Not only were there members of the Three Lotus Association and the Guard Fishing Group, there were also some people who came spontaneously. From this point alone, one could see Lin Sihai's position in the hearts of the people of Taiwan.
On this day, not only were there more than a dozen Taiwan senators speaking, there were also leaders of various civil organizations participating in the speech. The leaders and members of the Guard Fishing Group all cried until their eyes turned red. Everyone in the Three Lotus Association clenched their teeth with tears in their eyes. They couldn't wait to tear the murderer into pieces!
Black suits and white armbands filled the eyes. This was the largest memorial service in Taiwan in so many years. Everywhere were slogans with "President Lin, rest in peace" written on them …
Lin Suyin hadn't spoken for three days. She didn't eat or drink. Her delicate body stood in front of tens of thousands of people. Her hands trembled as she opened an envelope. Inside was her father's will. She still clearly remembered the last words her father said to her.
"Suyin, if I'm not here one day, can you take care of yourself? Hahaha, although I'm busy with the affairs of the association and the Guard Fishing Group every day, the most important person in this world is you. I owe you. If there's an afterlife, I hope you can be my daughter. We can be ordinary people. I will take good care of you and make it up to you. "
At that time, Lin Suyin didn't know what her father meant. She was worried about what Xu Yun would do after he became gay. She only cared about the safety of Xu Yun and didn't realize that her father was in greater danger.
It was that night, before her father left, he gave her the envelope and told her, "When Xu Yun and Wu Yuandong come back, you can open this envelope."
Lin Suyin obediently put the envelope in her drawer. She didn't expect that the envelope her father gave her contained his will.
"… I hereby appoint Xu Yun as the president of the Three Lotus Society. All the hall masters and members of the Three Lotus Society must cooperate with him. If you have any questions, the vice president, Wu Yuandong, will explain it to you …" Lin Suyin read out her father's will. This was what her father asked her to announce at the memorial service.
Lin Suyin, who hadn't spoken for three days, finally opened her mouth.
After the memorial service, her delicate body couldn't bear the immense pressure and physical exhaustion. She closed her eyes and fainted in the memorial service hall.
…
Lin Suyin felt like she had a very, very long dream. In her dream, she saw her mother returning to Taiwan and her father remarrying. The family of three enjoyed unparalleled happiness at home. Suddenly, one day, Wu Yuandong came to their house with Xu Yun's marriage proposal and an engagement ceremony. Then, she saw Xu Yun standing in front of her with a big diamond ring. She accepted Xu Yun's proposal under the sweet smiles of her parents … Then, she saw a romantic wedding with a snow-white wedding dress and bright smiles on her parents' faces. She could protect her parents for the rest of her life and even have the company of the person she loved the most.
Everything happened so suddenly that Lin Suyin didn't dare to accept it … It was only at this moment that she came to a realization and opened her eyes.
It was just a dream. Such a happy and sweet thing would forever be an extravagant hope for Lin Suyin.
The moment she woke up, Lin Suyin realized that she was about to face a brand new beginning. A beginning that she didn't want to face in her entire life. Loneliness swallowed her up in an instant. Before she could see clearly who the people around her were and who were excitedly surrounding her because she had woken up, she blacked out again.
Grief and pressure seemed to have completely crushed the beloved daughter of the Three Lotus Association. Everyone didn't place their hopes on the hospital's advanced equipment and the best doctors. Their hopes were placed on Xu Yun, the new president that Lin Sihai had chosen.
Lin Suyin had been hospitalized for four whole days. She was completely dependent on injections of nutrients to maintain her life. Xu Yun had also stayed in the hospital for four whole days. He understood and understood President Lin's good intentions, but he also understood that the Three Lotus Association was managed by Wu Yuandong. He didn't need to worry at all.
