As soon as Pan Chimu finished speaking, Pan Chiyan added, "Don’t forget to send me some too. Thank you in advance, brother-in-law."
As soon as these words came out, Li Lingyun was finally able to feel at ease. He was welcomed as the son-in-law by the Pan family.
While they were enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Father Su was hiding at the corner of a dark alley in the county seat near Xie village.
Although he managed to escape that day, the police officers escorting him ended up being seriously injured by other prisoners, and one of them died. Therefore, the police were ordered to arrest them, dead or alive.
While other prisoners fled to the capital and returned to their gangs, Father Su never intended to join any gang. Fearing that he would be killed by the other prisoners if he did not go with them, he escaped overnight.
It had been five days since he escaped from other prisoners and returned to the county seat. With no money and no food, he had no choice but to return to Xie Village to find his daughter.
He hopes to get some money from her so he can go to another city and start a new life.
But before he could go back to find her, he heard that his daughter and son-in-law had been arrested by the police for murdering Xiao Gao and being involved with the Black Hawk Gang.
The moment he heard the news, Father Su felt that his world collapsed. With no money and no one to help him, he wandered around the desolate alley. To survive, he could only steal food and drink sewer water every day.
Every time he was caught stealing, he was beaten by the thugs. He was covered in bruises and cuts, huddled in this dirty corner. He felt that his stomach was burning with pain due to hunger and he no longer had the strength to walk.
Thinking of his wife, hatred arose in his heart. He thought his wife would find a way to save him. Unexpectedly, she ran away before he was caught. It must have been that woman who reported him!
He looked at the dark sky and whispered, "I can’t die here. I must find her and teach her a lesson to relieve my hatred."
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed out blood and suddenly felt his stomach was burning. He felt that the pain in his stomach and body increased as the time passed slowly.
Enduring the pain, tears and snots stained his dirty face. He gritted his teeth as he curled up while holding his stomach and said, "I don’t … want to die…Someone, help…"
Before he could finish his words, saliva and blood flowed from his opened mouth as he breathed his last. Even in his death, his eyes were wide open full of unwillingness.
As a person who aspires to become a powerful person who was looked up to by the masses, dying like a mouse in a dark and dirty alley corner is the most humiliating ending for him.
Because he hid in this secluded spot, it took a month before anyone smelled the rotting stench and reported it to the authorities. When the police arrived, Father Su’s body had decomposed beyond recognition. His flesh was covered in maggots and some bones could be seen.
