Gao Lei's death was hardest to accept for Liang Shi.
Liang Shi believed that Gao Lei not only gave his life to save her and Hou Yong, but that she was the one who caused Gao Lei's death.
If she had followed Divine Weapon's plan, even if just pretending to comply, she would not have enraged Di Qingling. Without angering Di Qingling, she, Gao Lei, and Hou Yong wouldn't have fallen into danger, and Gao Lei would not have died.
Therefore, Liang Shi was deeply self-reproachful, tearful throughout the journey, a stark contrast to her former self.
Hou Yong was severely injured, and after Li Huai treated him, he was supposed to go to the hospital to recuperate. However, Hou Yong refused, insisting on personally delivering Gao Lei's body back to Gao Lei's hometown.
Gao Lei had been an orphan from a young age, with only a sister with whom he was very close. Being selected for the Ninth Bureau was undoubtedly the proudest achievement for his sister.
