"Three years ago, she was assassinated by someone sent by Nangong Yi."
...
One sentence, like a bomb, exploded in Chi Zaozao's world in an instant.
She staggered a step and fell against Ye Que's chest.
No! She couldn't believe it!
Suddenly, she lunged forward to seize Tang Shichu. "Brother Shichu, are you lying to me? How could Sister Bai Ling have been killed by my uncle's men? You're lying to me, aren't you?"
Tang Shichu would never forget the moment of Bai Ling's death, her body riddled with two bullets, both striking vital points. Covered in blood, in her final moment, she still managed to smile at him.
"Shichu, being married to you in this life was truly blissful."
She also told him, "Don't reveal Zaozao's whereabouts to Nangong Yi. For power, he will stop at nothing to bring Zaozao back to Country E."
To keep Chi Zaozao's whereabouts a secret, Tang Shichu sacrificed the woman he loved most.
