"Haha... hahaha..."
Upon hearing Ye Fan's threat, Situ Haotian laughed unrestrainedly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "You'd better hurry up; no waiting once the deadline passes!"
As soon as his words ended, Situ Haotian didn't waste any more words and hung up the phone directly.
"Dad... Daddy, are you alright?"
Meanwhile, Situ Ruoshui rushed to Situ Chen's side, crying, with trembling hands reaching out to lift Situ Chen's head with difficulty.
"Pu-chi—"
No answer came. Instead, Situ Chen's body convulsed as he spat out a mouthful of bloody sputum.
"Dad!"
"Ru... Ruoshui, Daddy's fine..."
With a pale face, Situ Chen weakly lifted his hand, gently wiped the tears from Situ Ruoshui's face, and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Ruoshui, don't cry."
