Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Confrontation
“Abbot, Abbot…”
Su Lifan, hearing Guo Xuwen’s words, seemed to snap back to reality. She turned around while kneeling and looked at Jiangli. “Abbot, I beg you, please save my son, okay? It’s not their fault, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault. I didn’t teach them well. I’m afraid of losing both of my children at once. I hid the truth. It’s all my fault, please save his life, I beg you…”
Upon hearing this, Jiangli looked at Su Lifan’s tear-streaked face, and her gaze suddenly shifted past her to the hospital bed.
On the hospital bed, besides Guo Xuwen, lay another person.
He was wrapped in many flames, which were the Resentment Karmic Fire.
But his face was completely exposed.
It was a face that bore a ninety-percent resemblance to Guo Xuwen’s, just a bit gentler-looking, without such fierce eyes.
Even with the Resentment Karmic Fire all over him, there was no trace of fierceness in him.
There was no need to say it; Jiangli knew that person was Guo Xuwu.
Guo Xuwu sat beside Guo Xuwen, staring at Su Lifan.
Upon hearing Su Lifan’s words, his expression changed gradually, but not significantly.
Just a moment ago, when listening to Guo Xuwen’s accusations, he was stunned.
He was evidently surprised at how Guo Xuwen perceived him.
Seeing Jiangli staring at him, he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiangli.
Jiangli took out a talisman, gave it a slight shake, and the talisman began to burn.
After a while, she said, “Look at the hospital bed.”
Guo Ji and Su Lifan followed her gaze in a daze and saw someone sitting next to Guo Xuwen.
Seeing him, Su Lifan’s tears flowed immediately, and she cried out, “Xuwu, Xuwu, is it you?”
Guo Ji staggered as he stood up, quickly walked over and asked in disbelief: “Xuwu, is it you?”
Guo Xuwu looked at them but did not speak.
Guo Xuwen slightly turned his head, and at this moment, he also saw Guo Xuwu. His pupils shrank, he clenched his jaws tightly, and his eyes were full of fear, not the harshness from earlier.
“Xuwu, Xuwu, it’s me who wronged you, it’s Mom who wronged you. If you want to kill, then kill me. I beg you to spare Xuwen…”
Su Lifan immediately knelt in front of Guo Xuwu, crying bitterly.
Guo Xuwu lightly frowned and spoke for the first time, “Why didn’t you call the police?”
Su Lifan choked, “Mom was just afraid of losing both of you… You’re already gone, what if your brother was gone too? How do you expect Mom to live?”
Guo Xuwu’s expression was numb, “So you didn’t call the police?”
Su Lifan shook her head while crying and kept saying, “It’s all my fault, it’s my fault…”
Guo Xuwu said coldly, “Indeed, it’s your fault. I once thought you were the best mother in the world, and that you loved me the most. But you saw him kill me and yet you helped him hide the truth. Do you know how cold it was for me trapped underwater?”
Upon hearing this, Su Lifan was stunned for a moment, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
Guo Xuwu, however, showed no emotion, as if he really had become numb. “I can’t understand why it turned out like this. I always thought I was a qualified big brother. Whatever good things there were, I would always share a portion with Xuwen. Even if there was only one piece, I would give it to him. He wasn’t good at his studies, and I wouldn’t do my own homework just to help tutor him. When he got into fights outside and was covered in wounds, I helped him hide it and bought medicine for him. What exactly did I do wrong?”
To this day, he didn’t understand what he did wrong.
This is the fundamental reason why he still can’t forgive Guo Xuwen.
