Chapter 227
By the time Seventh Master and I arrived at the entrance to Sun Yang’s residential complex, Meng Yifan and Song Xiaotian were already there.
A crowd had gathered at the gate-residents from the complex, as well as relatives from Sun Yang’s family.
Gu An’an was there too. She looked awful, as if she had just been crying; her eyes were red and swollen.
We walked over, greeted her, and asked her what exactly had happened.
“I… I don’t really know either. When I woke up this morning, I saw a farewell text from Sun Yang.”
Gu An’an choked out, “He sent one to everyone in the family. He said he’d already killed himself at home last night and told everyone to take care of themselves. He said that after he died, he wanted his ashes buried together with Jiayu and Ruoning.”
“I got up pretty early. As soon as I saw the text, I contacted the others in the family, and we all came over to take a look. But none of us dared to go inside, so we asked the security guard to check. That’s when they found that Sun Yang was already dead. He burned charcoal.”
Charcoal suicide. Carbon monoxide poisoning…
Sun Yang had killed himself last night. Could it have been because we had taken Ding Ruoning away, leaving him in despair until he lost all hope and went to such an extreme?
