Chapter 274 Returning to the Original World
“Before she committed suicide, I went to see her. She had lost a lot of weight,” he said with difficulty. “Actually, she had asked me before if I liked her. I had the answer in my heart: I liked her, but we might not be together.”
"I was too rational. Whether it was the gap in our social status, the differences in our personalities, or the support from our families, I knew that my feelings for her were destined to have a bad ending, so I chose to give up on liking her."
"Because I knew she wouldn't like me; she had so many secrets. I didn't find out what those secrets were until she was arrested by the police."
"She has another secret; she's hiding you."
Su Ran's heart skipped a beat.
When Zhong Jue went to the prison to visit Su Ran from the other world, Su Ran was also there.
Su Ran asked, "That ID card, did you prepare it in advance?"
When asked about this, Zhong Jue gave a wry smile.
"Yes, I prepared it in advance."
“I know she committed a heinous crime, but it wasn’t her fault. After she was taken away, I found a substitute who had also committed a heinous crime. With my abilities, she will become Su Ran and carry out the death penalty in Su Ran’s place. Su Ran will live, and I will take Su Ran abroad for plastic surgery so that she can become an ordinary Su Ran in this world with the same name.”
“When I bailed her out, she offered to help me get an ID card under the name ‘Su Ran’. I thought she already knew all my plans.”
"But I never expected that she would die in prison the day after I met her."
"And you became the owner of that ID card."
At this point, Zhong Jue looked at Su Ran with resentment.
“I used to see Su Ran talking to herself a lot, as if she was talking to someone. I thought she was just too tired and was hallucinating, or that she was too withdrawn and used to talking to herself. But now that I think about it…” he said through gritted teeth, “the person she was talking to was you, wasn’t it?”
Under his gaze, Su Ran nodded.
"Is it only when she disappears that you can reappear in front of everyone?"
Su Ran sighed, "You're right."
The doubts hidden deep in Zhong Jue's eyes were suddenly resolved, and then his eyes were filled with pain.
"I originally thought I only had a little bit of affection and liking for her, but every day after losing her, those feelings of love accumulated in my heart like snow, never melting away, and I was in pain every day."
"If I confess my feelings to her, will she feel that there are people in this world, besides my grandmother, who love her without being attracted by her appearance? Will she feel that the world is not so dark after all?"
Zhong Jue was consumed by endless self-blame.
It is precisely because of his self-blame that he is now fifty-six years old and still has not married or had children.
"She wrote me a letter before she committed suicide, asking me to arrange a job for her and to take good care of her."
"After that, you became one of my artists."
“You two are so alike, in your singing, your behavior, your personality… I don’t know why you two are so similar, but you are not her.”
"Even now, I still hate that you've taken over that ID card; it was the one I prepared for Su Ran."
“I’ve thought about ignoring you and letting you fend for yourself in the entertainment industry, or even putting you on hiatus. But you’re someone Su Ran asked me to take care of. I think she probably likes you a lot, otherwise she wouldn’t have risked her life to bring you here.”
Hearing this, Su Ran felt a pang of sadness. She looked at the brown wooden box containing the ashes of Su Ran from another world on the altar.
She thought to herself: I like you very much too, Su Ran.
Before leaving, Su Ran did one more thing.
Actually, Su Ran from the other world forgot about one enemy.
The former founder of M Group, Old Master Mei, was the one who killed Great-Grandma.
But by then, Su Ran's mental illness in the other world had become very serious, and Su Ran didn't want her to continue killing.
After Su Ran from the other world died, she was able to live in this world, but apart from her martial arts prowess in the original world, she had no other advantages.
There was no system to lock the opponent's location, no floating swords, and no tools or materials to refine system items.
But she still wanted to complete the final revenge for Su Ran from the other world.
However, she hadn't taken any action for the past thirty years because she was taking care of Grandma Su.
Now, she can finally take action.
Thanks to the information from the original world, she remembered the location of M Group's important warehouse. So, she used her agile reach to set fire to M Group's warehouse, causing M Group to instantly evaporate billions.
Grandpa Mei was so angry that he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed.
Everyone saw Su Ran burn down the warehouse.
Unfortunately, they could never hold onto her in their lifetime.
Su Ran is leaving this world.
The familiar portal opened, and she took away the ashes of Su Ran and Grandma Su from the other world.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
I opened my eyes and all I could see was white.
Joyful sounds reached my ears.
"Host, you're finally awake!" The little butterfly flew over. "Of all the people who came to the hospital, you were unconscious the longest. How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Awakening from the chaos, Su Ran realized that she had really returned.
"Where's the urn I brought?" was the first thing she asked.
"Don't worry, it's in the space. It won't get lost," the little butterfly quickly replied.
Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around and confirmed that she was indeed in the hospital, and that she was the only person in the VIP ward.
She frowned and asked, "Sister Zhu Hong, Mo Sha, Tang Shan, and the driver, how are they?"
Hearing this, the little butterfly smiled and said, "They are all fine, just some minor scratches. It's just that you, host, slept for two whole days."
Su Ran recalled the scene at that time. Because of her strong will, she was able to unleash unlimited power, instantly reversing the situation and causing time to stop.
She still remembers the little butterfly taking out a bright red, shiny thing and flying it into her body.
Su Ran touched her chest and felt her heart still beating; she touched her neck and felt a vibrant pulse beating beneath her delicate skin.
Is she even human?
No, something seems different.
Her mind was being filled with endless thoughts, like a computer that was loading.
Before she could fully appreciate it, a group of people rushed into the ward.
Gu Cai, who was in the lead, exclaimed in panic, "Su Ran, you're finally awake! You have no idea how worried I was about you, afraid that you would never wake up again!"
Following closely behind was Zhong Jue, who looked Su Ran up and down, then breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "It's good that she woke up, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford the workers' compensation."
The last one was An Yecheng. His eyes were red, his lips were tightly pursed, and after Gu Cai and Zhong Jue finished speaking, he said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
"I will never threaten you again. More than I want to have you, I can't bear to watch you disappear from my sight. Don't worry, I've had everyone who harmed you arrested." An Yecheng smiled bitterly. "Does this count as atonement?"
Su Ran gave An Yecheng a meaningful look.
That's it?
Still trying to atone for his sins?
Wearing a hospital gown, Su Ran sat up nimbly and said to Zhong Jue, "Please cancel my schedule for the second half of the year. Just say I was in a car accident and need to recuperate."
