Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 296 Hey, man!

This collision effectively severed all possibilities between the male and female protagonists.

He originally intended to pretend he knew nothing about it and shift all the blame to the driver who hit him.

But the female lead is so smart. His way of shirking responsibility is exactly the same as the bastard who tried to pin the blame on her before. And what a coincidence that Dr. Du got into trouble right after they finished arguing.
The two had another argument about it, and given the male protagonist's personality and intelligence, it was hard for him not to let slip his secret when he was angry.

He let it slip and was cremated in the crematorium, beyond saving.

After all, a life was now between them, and anyone with even a modicum of moral compass could no longer feel at ease being with him.

Not to mention his tendency to hire someone to kill someone in a fit of rage. Who knows if he might strangle you next time he gets angry? How can a normal person sleep peacefully with someone like that sleeping in the same bed? At least Wen Xia Nuan couldn't.

After learning the truth, she hated Xiao Jinhang to the core and even went so far as to report his crimes by name.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jinhang was cautious enough, and the bribed driver was already dead and unable to testify. In the end, the murder case was classified as an accident and closed.

Du Yihan: "..." Nobody stop me in a minute, I'm not Du if I don't beat this guy into a placenta!
Things have come to this point and it seems there's no turning back, but Xiao Jinhang just likes to make things difficult for himself; the more setbacks he faces, the more determined he becomes.

The female lead was so angry she wanted to stab him and die with him, but he was still stubbornly insisting on forcibly taking her and locking her up with him.

Du Anrao, an observer, was speechless.

If you had that same shameless, relentless pursuit of your "white moonlight" and that unwavering persistence, you probably would have won her over long ago.

Du Yihan nodded in deep agreement. Such a nice young girl, to run into such a lunatic, is truly unlucky.

[To put it bluntly, isn't it just that what you can't have always seems more alluring? Whoever looks down on you, you fawn over them? Ha, men!]

Xi Jingyue and Du Yihan: Ha, men!
The two unconsciously agreed before realizing that they had inadvertently included themselves in the insult.

"..."

The female lead was extremely annoyed by Xiao Jinhang's harassment, but she really had no choice but to stop him.

Just when she was about to be driven to the brink of despair and nearly turned to the dark side, the plot suddenly took a sharp turn.

Xiao Jinhang's father, his biggest backer, was suddenly diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer and didn't have much time left. As a result, the Xiao family company's stock plummeted, and all sorts of evil spirits came to swarm in, and the company was on the verge of collapse.

Xi Jingyue and the other person: "???" Was this so sudden?
What broke Xiao Jinhang's heart even more was that the disease was a hereditary disease in his family. His great-grandfather, grandfather, and even several of his grandfather's brothers had died from the disease.

However, by his father's generation, none of his uncles had this problem, so the Xiao family thought the curse of this hereditary disease had been broken. Little did they expect that the disease could make a comeback and affect him and his father.

After Xiao Jinhang's father was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, Xiao Jinhang was immediately arranged to undergo examination as well. The results showed that Xiao Jinhang was also placed on the list of those awaiting death.

[The good news is that he was diagnosed with early-stage liver cancer, which is still treatable. The bad news is that even with surgery, he will likely only live for five to ten years, so he will probably die before he is as old as his father. To put it nicely, he died young; to put it bluntly, he died young!]

It's clear that Du Anrao has absolutely no good impression of the outlaw male lead who killed her third brother; her tone of voice is unusually harsh.

In most stories, the plot would likely follow this path: the female lead experiences a sudden surge of compassion, realizing she's long fallen in love with the male lead who abused, humiliated, and abandoned her, and forgives him for everything he did. They reciprocate each other's feelings, join hands to fight illness, and through tireless effort, ultimately overcome death, living happily ever after—a perfect ending!

Unfortunately, this author also has a rebellious streak and is determined to subvert conventions from beginning to end.

After learning about the Xiao family's situation, the female lead not only did not feel any sympathy for Xiao Jinhang, but instead clapped her hands in delight. She even specially brought a basket of discounted out-of-season fruit to visit him in the hospital after he was hospitalized.

Then, under his surprised gaze, he was told that the only person in the world who could save him was Dr. Du, whom he had hired to kill.

Dr. Du's latest research topic is about effective drugs for cancer, and he has already made tangible progress.

If he were still alive, he might have figured it out by now.

In that case, his illness might be easily cured, and his father could live a few more years.

However, due to Dr. Du's sudden passing, the project has been taken over by others, and progress is far slower than before.

Perhaps in the next few years, a decade, or even decades, another group of geniuses will emerge to help Dr. Du complete this project.

Unfortunately, she didn't know that Xiao Jinhang and his father would never live to see that day.

Upon learning the truth, Xiao Jinhang instantly broke down, finally realizing that Wen Xia Nuan and Dr. Du did not have romantic feelings for each other, but rather that it was a powerful person's natural admiration and respect for a genius.

Even if the two of them truly had romantic feelings for each other, at this point, he had to treat her like an ancestor, after all, she really could save his family's lives!

Xiao Jinhang was filled with regret, but it was too late for regrets now that things had come to this.

Not long after, Xiao's father passed away in the hospital due to a host of complications caused by late-stage liver cancer.

Not long after, Xiao Jinhang also underwent surgery and temporarily saved his life. However, due to various problems left over from the surgery, he became a frequent visitor to the hospital. After five or six years, he followed in his father's footsteps.

Until his death, Xiao Jinhang never received the special medicine that could save his life.

Seeing this, Du Anrao breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling completely satisfied.

[This is what it means to kill someone by destroying their spirit! After a whole book of frustrating moments, the ending was surprisingly satisfying!]

Du Yihan's eyes flickered slightly; this ending had indeed given him a sense of satisfaction.

But compared to the satisfying ending of a novel where the wicked get their just desserts, he still prefers to take matters into his own hands and send the person to the crematorium, burning him until not even ashes remain!
Xiao Jinhang had no idea at the time that in just one meeting, his secrets had been completely exposed.

He patiently listened to Ji Yinde talk about Du Yihan, information he had already thoroughly investigated beforehand, and at appropriate moments revealed an expression of amazement.

"Dr. Du is truly amazing. Despite being younger than us, he has already received so many honors, which is truly admirable. I hope that when we work together in the lab, I can get a lot of guidance from you and learn something that will be helpful for my future."

Du Yihan glanced at the hand extended in front of her, smiled faintly, and took it, saying with a double meaning, "Don't worry, once you're in the lab, I'll definitely take good care of you."
