Mr Gu’s First Doting Marriage
Chapter 1115 - Chapter 1115 Chapter 1117 He Died She Died

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1117: He Died, She Died Chapter 1115: Chapter 1117: He Died, She Died Xia Yangyang could faintly hear Gao Huizhi’s voice.

He spoke extremely slowly, his breath as thin as a thread.

But Xia Yangyang still heard him clearly, her heart feeling like it was being clenched.

Xia Yangyang did not want to lie.

But seeing her godfather like this, she found it impossible to tell the truth.

Bearing the pain, she said, “It’s okay, they’re all fine, they’ll come to see you in a bit.”

Gao Huizhi seemed to sigh with relief.

He slowly closed his eyes and then fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Yangyang sat by his side, her heart troubled.

Xiao Zhan had died, and Phoenix’s current state was truly worrisome.

But what could she do?

She couldn’t tell the truth now.

Xia Yangyang had no idea how she had gotten through the past few days.

She felt dazed and confused.

The arrangements for Xiao Zhan’s affairs were all handled by Li Zhiqian.

Many people from the Culture Hall held a funeral that day.

It might have been the darkest day in the history of the Culture Hall.

Three days had passed since then,

but Phoenix still looked the same, not eating or drinking, surviving only on nutrient infusions.

In just three days, she had lost a significant amount of weight.

She seemed utterly hollowed out, hardly speaking at all.

Everyone was worried about her.

After dealing with Xiao Zhan’s matters, Li Zhiqian stayed constantly by Phoenix’s side, barely leaving her for a moment.

Xia Yangyang took turns keeping vigil as well.

Gao Huizhi’s health had improved slightly; he was able to eat a little and could speak again.

But due to his serious injuries, he still couldn’t move.

Gao Huizhi had asked several times about Phoenix and Xiao Zhan.

Xia Yangyang had fobbed him off each time.

But this time, Gao Huizhi refused even to drink his porridge and said, “Yangyang, don’t lie to me anymore. Is something wrong with Ah Zhan and Phoenix? I want to hear the truth. You all deceive me, but my mind is still clear. These days, you’ve taken turns visiting me, but Ah Zhan and Phoenix haven’t come. What exactly happened to them?”

Xia Yangyang felt she could no longer keep the truth hidden.

These past days, every lie she told felt like her heart was splitting.

Her godfather would find out sooner or later.

After a moment of silence, she finally said, “Godfather, I will tell you the truth, but you must promise me not to get agitated.”

Gao Huizhi seemed to anticipate what was coming, “Is it Ah Zhan who’s in trouble, or Phoenix, or both?”

Xia Yangyang began, “Phoenix is fine, but Big Brother… was shot and has passed away.”

Gao Huizhi shut his eyes.

His body immobile, but his fingers clenched tightly.

He was receiving an IV in his arm,

but due to his clenching, blood suddenly began to flow backward.

Xia Yangyang quickly removed the IV needle from his arm and called for the nurse.

Xia Yangyang took Gao Huizhi’s hand, “Godfather, please don’t be like this, your body hasn’t recovered, and you can’t get so worked up.”

Gao Huizhi’s face was etched with grief, “Ah Zhan, Ah Zhan…”

Xia Yangyang was also very sad, but at that moment, all she could do was comfort him, “Godfather, you have to get better. You can uncover the truth only if you recover. You can only find the person who killed Big Brother when you’re well. Godfather, you have to get better.”

Gao Huizhi closed his eyes with a tear tracing down from the corner.

Xia Yangyang was shocked.

Such a man as her godfather could also shed tears.

Gao Huizhi spoke slowly, “I’ve done too many wrong things in my life, many things I deeply regret. I went down the wrong path myself, but I hoped they could live upright and normal lives. But because of me, they had to enter the Culture Hall; only the Culture Hall could protect them. Yet, in the end, it’s the Culture Hall that caused his death. With Ah Zhan’s death, it’s as if Phoenix has died too.”
