After I Was Gone, Mr. Song Said He Loved Me - Chapter 91 - The Bankruptcy of the Chi Family, I Have No Choice but to Seek Out Song Yu.

I had considered that my illness might relapse, might worsen, but never imagined it would progress so quickly.

I had considered that my illness might relapse, might worsen, but never imagined it would progress so quickly.

For the past six months, I have been receiving treatment in a foreign land. The side effects of chemotherapy have been unbearable, yet I remain optimistic and fight against cancer, striving to live for my mother and sister, and most importantly, for myself.

But I never expected that my tenacious persistence and efforts would not bring me the hope of survival.

“Dr. Nalisha, in my current state… how long… how long can I still live?” I asked with difficulty.

Nalisha opened the consultation results in her hands and comforted me, “Mr. Bai, although the test results are not very optimistic, they are not without hope. We will do our best with medication to slow down the rate of cancer cell division.”

“When your body condition can adapt to the fifth stage of chemotherapy, we will proceed with the next step of treatment.”

“So, right now, all I can do is wait, right?” I smiled bitterly.

Dr. Nalisha hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Theoretically, yes, but how we proceed with treatment will depend on the rate of cancer cell division.”

“You don’t need to be overly pessimistic. We have the best anti-cancer drugs here. Although they cannot achieve the direct effects of intravenous chemotherapy, they can slow down the spread of diseased tissues.”

“Please rest assured, we will do our utmost to save your life.”

“Thank you, Dr. Nalisha.”

Nalisha glanced at her watch and added, “Mr. Bai, please rest for a while. There’s a digestive system examination this afternoon, so I don’t recommend eating lunch to avoid reflux.”

“I understand.”

Nalisha said nothing more and left the room with the team of specialists.

I took off the English-Chinese translation headphones and lay back on the bed, curling up under the covers.

A fear and loneliness I had never felt before enveloped me like a tight shroud, pressing deeper into the prison of illness, until it pushed me to a dead end.

I was powerless to struggle and unable to seek help. This feeling of waiting helplessly for death was more painful than being tortured.

At that moment, the door to the room opened again. I thought Dr. Nalisha had returned, but when I looked up, it was Chi Jin.

He hadn’t visited for over ten days, seemingly due to some issues at work. When I asked him, he didn’t say much, just told me not to worry, that he could handle it.

Chi Jin wore a steel-gray suit, without a tie, the collar casually open. His hair wasn’t neatly combed as before, and he had severe dark circles under his eyes, looking particularly exhausted.

It seemed that work hadn’t been going smoothly recently.

I hid my negative emotions and greeted him with a smile, “Chi Jin, you’re here. I was just about to sleep; there’s an examination this afternoon.”

Chi Jin stood in the middle of the room, looking somewhat at a loss, “Oh, then you rest for a while, I’ll come back later.”

I quickly waved my hand, “No need, I’m not sleepy. There’s nothing to do, and I don’t want to go out. I can’t understand what they say.”

At Saint Riof, only Dr. Nalisha and I had direct translation English-Chinese headphones. Communication with others was mostly through gestures and my clumsy spoken language.

Chi Jin sighed in realization, “I’m sorry, I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t been able to come and keep you company.”

I smiled, “Not at all, work is important. Besides, I have a caregiver here, so it’s fine.”

“And since coming to M Country, I’ve been a burden to you. If you can’t focus on work because of me, I’d feel really guilty.”

Chi Jin came over and sat by the bed, gazing deeply at me, as if he had something to say.

“Chi Jin, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked with a smile.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Have you eaten?”

“I have an examination this afternoon, and the doctor said I can’t eat. What do you want to eat? I’ll keep you company.”

“Then I won’t–”

Just then, the phone in Chi Jin’s pocket rang suddenly. He took out his phone, and his expression instantly tightened, “I’ll go out to take this call.”

“Oh, okay!” I nodded in agreement.

Chi Jin left the room with his phone, looking quite tense.

For some reason, I felt this call might be related to me, because Chi Jin had never taken a call behind my back. Even when his father called, he would answer in front of me.

I jumped off the bed, barefoot, and quietly followed the direction of Chi Jin’s voice out of the room.

At the end of the corridor, around the corner, Chi Jin’s voice became clearer.

Suddenly–

“Song Yu, you’re dreaming. Even if you swallow Huanya whole, I will never hand Bai Yu over to you.”

“Heh, aren’t you capable? Then find him yourself in M Country.”

“Bai Yu? Heh, Bai Yu is already mine. We’re doing well now. He loves me, and I love him. How about that? Are you envious?”

“I said it, so what? I’ll say it not just once, but a hundred times, a thousand times. Song Yu, I’m telling you, listen carefully, Bai Yu is my boyfriend. We’re about to get engaged, and you’ll never have the chance to see him again in this lifetime.”

“Also, even if the Chi Family fails, I won’t use Bai Yu to trade for your so-called opportunity. I don’t care!”

“Song Yu, perhaps you have a knack for business, but when it comes to emotions, you’re always a failure who can’t even win over the person you like.”

“……”

I listened with my heart pounding, and before Chi Jin could finish speaking, I hurried back to the ward, leaning against the door and gasping for breath. My mind was a chaotic mess, filled with the conversation between Chi Jin and Song Yu.

……

If I heard correctly, it seems the Chi Family’s Huanya headquarters is in crisis, and the culprit is likely Song Yu.

Song Yu seems to be looking for me and wants Chi Jin to trade me for something, but Chi Jin doesn’t seem to be buying it.

What… what exactly is going on?

Didn’t Chi Jin’s father already have a foolproof plan to completely crush Song Yu?

How did it end up like this?

Ah—

My stomach started to ache again.

At that moment, I heard Chi Jin’s footsteps outside the door. I clutched my stomach and quickly returned to the bed, pretending nothing had happened, fiddling with the game console.

Chi Jin pushed the door open, looking even more exhausted than before.

I put down the game console and forced a smile, “What’s wrong? Is there something going on at the company?”

Chi Jin sat beside me, feigning a relaxed smile, “Nothing, I can handle it.”

I cautiously probed, “……Is there anything I can do to help?”

Chi Jin’s gaze darkened, staring at me intently, as if he suspected I might know something.

I quickly explained, “Oh, I just can’t always be under your care. If there’s anything you want to talk about, maybe I can help somehow.”

Chi Jin’s expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and he took my hand seriously, saying, “Bai Yu, I brought you to M Country to ensure you focus on your treatment. You don’t need to worry about anything else. I can handle work matters. You just need to get better, and that’s a big help to me.”

“I want you to live, to live healthily, for yourself and for me. You’re all I have.”

Chi Jin’s words made my nose tingle, and I forced back my tears, saying, “I will, I’ll take good care of myself and not let you worry.”

Since he didn’t want to talk about it, I couldn’t press further, pretending I knew nothing.

Chi Jin originally wanted to accompany me for the afternoon check-up, but a meeting came up at the company, and he had to leave. I hurriedly urged him to go, not wanting to delay his work.

The check-up was done by Dr. Nalisha, the only person at Saint Riof who could communicate with me.

While drawing blood, I casually asked, “Dr. Nalisha, do you know about Huanya?”

“Of course, the recent financial news is all about Huanya.”

I quickly asked, “What’s happening with Huanya?”

“Apparently, Huanya’s overseas investment projects suffered massive losses, causing many major banks to crash along with it. The stock market plummeted over 30 points, and many colleagues at the hospital who bought Huanya’s stocks are losing so much they want to meet their maker.”

“Luckily, I didn’t buy any.” Nalisha shrugged with a smile, “I’m not interested in that stuff.”

Hearing this, my heart sank instantly.

If nothing unexpected happened, the overseas investment project Nalisha mentioned was the one Chi Jin’s father prepared to intercept Song Yu, but ended up being the one cut down.

What pains and worries me the most is that I was the one who informed Chi Jin about this, leading him to gamble everything against Song Yu. And Song Yu, being ruthless, would never let go if given the chance to seize the Chi Family father and son.

If that’s true, isn’t Chi Jin in danger?

“Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai?” Nalisha called me.

“Ah?” I responded, coming back to my senses.

“Please lie down on the bed, we need to do the dialysis.” Nalisha pointed to the treatment bed nearby.

“Oh, okay.” I walked over in a daze, my mind full of thoughts about the Chi Family, not even feeling the pain during the esophageal dialysis.

After the check-up, the more I thought about it, the more anxious and guilty I felt.

I initially thought this matter was going too smoothly, not expecting an accident to really happen.

Looking back now, this must have been another trap set by Song Yu. He deliberately let me overhear this news, knowing I would inform Chi Jin.

I was careless. I never imagined Song Yu would be plotting against me while professing his love.

I harmed Chi Jin.

In the following days, Chi Jin didn’t call me, and I didn’t dare contact him either, only getting updates about Huanya from Nalisha.

Nalisha didn’t understand much about the business world, only telling me that Huanya’s stocks had been continuously dropping for four or five days, leading to a suspension and reorganization. She also mentioned that many banks were pressing Huanya for loan repayments, and analysts said Huanya might declare bankruptcy, with the massive bank debts possibly leading to imprisonment for the corporate legal representatives.

After hearing Nalisha’s words, I was completely stunned.

M Country, one of the top economies, could declare bankruptcy just like that? And Chi Jin might get arrested because of it!?

I could hardly imagine what would happen next.

After days of mental struggle, I called Song Yu…
