Chapter 988 - 1001: Everyone Must Pay for Their Own Mistakes
"Forget it, talking more is useless, it’s all regret," An Ran sighed, lifted her head, and looked out the window, "Is there something you wanted to see me about?"Shen Bin lifted his head, his eyes reddened, and carefully asked, "My sister... is she okay?"
From the moment he saw Shen Qi, he knew he was wrong, and now, he realized just how terribly wrong he was. He had wanted to give his sister a stable life, but instead pushed her into an endless abyss.
"What do you think?" An Ran withdrew her gaze from the window and met Shen Bin’s eyes again. Seeing those bloodshot eyes, a trace of compassion flitted through her heart. She blinked and quickly turned her eyes away, "Her health is fine."
She mentioned her health because she couldn’t see the scars on her heart.
Shen Bin nodded and continued to ask, "How is that person?"
An Ran knew he was referring to Zhu Pengfei and let out a soft chuckle, "He’s doing okay, not beaten to death, still lying in the hospital."
Shen Bin blinked, as if trying to blink away tears, and sighed, "My sister has a good eye. He’s a good man, Miss An, if it’s convenient, can you pass a message for me?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Tell him that I agree with him dating Qiqi." That day he wanted nothing more than for Shen Qi to leave, hurting his sister’s heart, and also that young man’s heart.
Actually, on that day, he already knew that he was a responsible man. Now, seeing him willing to risk his life to protect Shen Qi, it made him see the sincerity he had for his sister.
In the future, he couldn’t continue to care for his sister, so let this man protect her in his stead.
"I’ll pass on your message, but I hope you can tell them in person. I think what they want most is to hear your blessing in your own voice."
"Ha," Shen Bin lowered his head with a sneer, "Do I even have that chance?"
After his self-mockery, Shen Bin lifted his head once more and looked sincerely at An Ran, "Miss An, could I ask you to take care of my sister? If I, Shen Bin, ever have a chance to go out in this lifetime, I will definitely repay Miss An well. If there is no opportunity in this lifetime, then in the next life, even as an ox or a horse, I will repay Miss An."
When he embarked on this path, he had thought about the consequences, and the only thing he couldn’t let go of was his sister.
Having been in contact with An Ran for two days, he knew she was a girl he could entrust, she and the man behind her had the ability to protect his sister for a while. With her helping to take care of his sister, he could rest in peace.
As she walked out of the Security Department, the sun was almost blinding. An Ran lifted her head, shielding her eyes with a hand, and watched as the bright sunlight filtered through the branches.
She agreed to Shen Bin’s request. Even without Shen Bin’s urging, she would have helped take care of Shen Qi, but this request added a weight to her heart.
She didn’t understand exactly how severe Shen Bin’s crime was, or what role he played within that drug trafficking group, nor whether he would have a chance to see this colorful world again in the future.
She could imagine Shen Bin’s helplessness when faced with Shen Qi’s high tuition and living expenses, as she herself had once felt such helplessness.
She could even imagine his hesitation when he entered that organization. However, no matter what, once you make a choice, once you take that step, you can never return to the beginning, because what he did would bring harm to more people and families.
People always have to pay for the mistakes they make.
