Last Love chapter 125
That matter weighed on Xu Jiale’s mind: “You still want to proceed with the press conference as planned?”
“You’re going back?” Even Fu Xiaoyu opened his eyes in surprise.
“Yeah,” Wen Ke said casually. “Xu Jiale, I’ve never asked you to use your family’s power to help me, but this time, I really need your help. I know your uncle is in the public security system. There are things I don’t trust to leave to the police in Jincheng. I’ll be straightforward – except for Han Zhan, I don’t trust anyone in the Han family. Zhuo Yuan is currently in B City, and I have enough evidence. I want B City to take the lead in arresting him, but don’t move immediately.”
Xu Jiale’s eyes narrowed. Although his pupils were a very light tea color, usually looking gentle when he joked, they appeared somewhat intimidating when he expressed a serious demeanor.
“What do you want to do?” he asked in a low voice. “Why hold a press conference under such urgent circumstances?”
“Because when Han Jiangque was hit by Zhuo Yuan’s car, he was recording the final segment of the Time Capsule.”
Wen Ke’s eyes looked at the vast snowy scenery, calmly stating, “He was injured by Zhuo Yuan’s car, and had to release Zhuo Yuan’s father, who was under investigation, according to Zhuo Yuan’s wishes. But later, Zhuo Yuan didn’t let him off. Zhuo Yuan wanted him to call me, forcing me to cancel the release of the Last love app. Because Zhuo Yuan said the thing he least wanted to see in his life was my success.”
“Han Jiangque had agreed to his previous request, but he happened to refuse him on this matter. So, Zhuo Yuan… they trapped him in the parking lot and beat him for over ten minutes. Xu Jiale, they beat him for over ten minutes, over ten minutes – they thought Han Jiangque had been beaten to death. And all of this, everything that happened in those twenty minutes, was recorded by the Time Capsule.”
Xu Jiale was shocked.
And Fu Xiaoyu, upon hearing this, finally said in a hoarse voice, “So you want to go back to hold the press conference – you want Zhuo Yuan to see that you will make this press conference successful.”
“I not only want him to witness the launch of Last love, but I want him to see the evidence of intentional murder recorded by the new Time Capsule, released by all the media present, creating an explosive event for marketing. I want him to see me personally achieving success. So, I can’t let anyone else go in my place.”
Wen Ke lowered his head, touching his abdomen, and slowly said, “Only I must go in person, so that everyone can see my expression, my appearance, the blood on me. Only then will they truly empathize. This world is inherently inclined to sympathize with an Omega who loses an Alpha during pregnancy, and I – I need the sympathy and attention of everyone. I need the attention and public opinion to drag down the entire criminal Zhuo family.”
“Why not just arrest Zhuo Yuan first?” Xu Jiale asked in a low voice.
“Because Zhuo Yuan’s father, Zhuo Ning, has already booked a cruise ticket for tonight, planning to escape abroad. Only this possibility might force Zhuo Yuan to be publicly charged with the death penalty. Zhuo Ning, coming back and confessing to the crime, is the only way to make Zhuo Yuan pay. If Zhuo Ning comes in, Zhuo Li won’t be far behind.”
Wen Ke spoke slowly, and his tone almost had a bloodthirsty aura.
Xu Jiale remained silent for a long time, finally nodded, and said in a deep voice, “Okay, I’ll find someone to help with the deployment and arrest. This also requires support from the Jincheng police. I’ll find someone reliable to arrange it.”
Before leaving, Wen Ke had been standing in front of the ICU door, staring persistently at the small light above the door. Han Jiangque was still in surgery.
Xu Jiale thought Wen Ke would say something, but when they left, Wen Ke ultimately didn’t say anything, and his face was almost expressionless.
Xu Jiale tried to convince himself. He should feel relieved by Wen Ke’s tenacious attitude at this moment. It was almost unbelievable for a pregnant Omega to be so resolute.
But the fact was, he suddenly felt an indescribable worry. Perhaps he had already realized that something gentle and soft on Wen Ke had changed forever, or had been sealed.
Leaving Jincheng, Wen Ke was already sitting in Han Zhan’s Bentley.
Han Zhan assigned four bodyguards to him at once, driving two Audis, one in front of the Bentley and one behind. The attitude of all Han family subordinates towards Wen Ke had completely changed, and they were aware that the atmosphere was quietly changing.
Xu Jiale and Wen Ke sat together in the car, and Xu Jiale couldn’t help asking in a low voice, “Wen Ke, I really don’t support you sacrificing your entire life for a hypothetical possibility that Han Jiangque might wake up. I know you wouldn’t like to hear this, and you don’t want to be a selfish person. But Han Jiangque might never wake up, and you still have to live. Do you understand what I mean?”
After saying this, the entire car fell into an awkward silence.
Xu Jiale couldn’t remember when they had had such a strange moment between them. Just when he thought Wen Ke wouldn’t answer, he heard Wen Ke whisper, “Xu Jiale, do you believe in fate?”
Xu Jiale was somewhat surprised and turned to look at Wen Ke, who wasn’t looking at him, but was gazing at the passing scenery outside the window.
“I never thought about such mystical things before, but today, I’ve thought about it many times. And the marking too… Xu Jiale, why does the marking exist between Alpha and Omega?”
Wen Ke’s words sounded more like a murmured dream.
Although Xu Jiale had been studying AO markings, at that moment, he didn’t know how to answer.
“Is there such a thing as fate in this world? Or, is there a force higher than us humans? If there is a designer living high above in this world, why would he design something like marking for us? I used to think it was unfair that an Omega in the marking system is controlled and humiliated. But today, I suddenly understood.”
“A few months from now, I will give birth to Han Jiangque’s kids. From then on, I will be connected with them by blood, a father-son relationship that cannot be erased in a lifetime. But you see, in front of the close family relationship, love is so fragile. Even if we swear ’till death do us part’ at the wedding, unexpected events, aging, sickness, and death are always around us.”
“But that force from above gave us marking. I think he wants Alpha and Omega to unite, not to torture Omega but to give love a power equal to that of family.”
“Xu Jiale, I will let Han Jiangque mark me. But this is not a sacrifice.”
Wen Ke murmured softly, “It is a complete fusion between us, blood and flesh, spirit and bone… No matter when, I will stay in this world, waiting for him to come home.”
“Our love… will be immortal.”
Through the car window, Wen Ke looked at the sky.
If there really was a god standing high above, looking down, would they find human joys and sorrows to be insignificant?
Observing everything happening below, carefully scrutinizing everything, so that anyone seeking ultimate happiness must go through one test after another.
At that moment, Wen Ke’s heart was incredibly clear.
It was as if he was embracing the rushing snowflakes with his face, or gazing at the profound face of destiny in the high sky.
Test me.
He softly said in his heart: Test me, I love to the ultimate, unafraid to face the gods directly.
The snow reflected on his face, making his complexion appear pure white.
For a moment, Xu Jiale felt that it was a kind of almost sacred radiance.
