Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Of course I’m responsible! I know that even without you telling me.” Tears rolled down Huo Qi’s usually arrogant face.

Tears jumped into the air and seeped into Smith’s brand new and clean shirt collar.

He heard what Su Rui said, but as soon as he spoke, he was answering Shang Yu’s question.

Huo Qi was really afraid. His body was even full of the blood left behind by Su Qing. Only he Imew how regretful and self-reproachful he was right now!

He lowered his head and whimpered silently, his fingers letting go of Smith’s collar weakly. “How could I listen to her just like that? She asked me to leave, so I really left first! I shouldn’t have left her there alone! I know she’s always been very powerful, but I shouldn’t have trusted her so much! I should have stayed there with her! If I was at the scene at that time, she wouldn’t need to bear so much pressure alone! How helpless and disappointed would she be when she faced so many people alone?”

“I said I would protect her well, but I didn’t do it this time.” Huo Qi’s voice was hoarse and his red eyes were full of tears.

He didn’t care that his current sorry state and weakness would lose his status as the overlord of the Huo family’s underworld.

No matter how powerful he was or how many subordinates and brothers he had, he couldn’t even protect his woman. What was the point of being an overlord of the underworld?

Huo Qi knew that he was really wrong this time, and ridiculously wrong!

He suffered every second after Su Qing was pushed into the operating theater!

It wasn’t that he hadn’t confirmed that there weren’t any serious gunshot wounds on Su Qing’s body, but anyone with a bit of physiological knowledge or who wasn’t blind could tell that Su Qing had lost a lot of blood!

This was also a question that Huo Qi couldn’t figure out no matter how hard he tried.

When Su Rui wasn’t here just now, he didn’t ask about anything. Now that Su Rui was here, Huo Qi seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Su Rui and asked, “Did Qingqing have such a bleeding situation when she was at home before? There are no signs of being really shot on Qingqing’s body, but she fainted because she lost too much blood. Has she had such a disease before?”

Su Rui had been looking at Huo Qi in silence. He could tell that Huo Qi was really blaming himself and feeling sad. For an indomitable and famous man like Huo Qi to let himself cry so miserably and weakly in front of so many people in the corridor, one could imagine how much Huo Qi valued their Qingqing!

Seeing how guilty and frustrated Huo Qi was because of his sister, Su Rui was the same

His pale face was also full of worry and heartache. He thought that if he could exchange his suffering for his sister’s health and well-being, he wouldn’t have any complaints and would gladly endure it.

When he evacuated from that godforsaken place just now, he already had a bad feeling.

Whether it was Smith’s irresponsibility or Huo Yun’s carelessness, these were all the triggers that caused the incident to develop in the worst direction. They probably couldn’t avoid Gray either. No matter what, they had to fight him to the death!

However, as long as Huo Yun didn’t alarm Gray and the others, they could still cover each other and leave. They didn’t have to let his sister bear all the firepower and pursuit alone.

The reason why this matter developed into this situation seemed to be that none of them could absolve themselves of the blame!

Even though what Huo Qi’s mother said wasn’t nice, it still made sense. She was indeed right to say that Smith wasn’t responsible alone.

However, this wasn’t an excuse to help Smith get away with it easily. Wasn’t that really putting the cart before the horse and not distinguishing right from wrong?

So, it was impossible for Shang Yu to help Smith get rid of the crime completely! Smith had to bear the mistakes and responsibilities that he should bear.

Of course, he should bear Huo Qi’s anger. He had let down Huo Qi’s trust in him!

Su Rui’s face was dark as he thought about these things in silence. After hearing Huo Qi’s question, he was subconsciously stunned for a moment..
