Chapter 40: Suicide Note
*Disclaimer: This chapter has strong themes that may trigger you when you read it. Please read with caution.*
The scraps of paper with writings on them were torn to shreds, as though someone had deliberately ripped them up and didn’t want anyone to find out what was written on it.
Bai Yan wasted some time to put together the pieces of paper.
Luckily, although there were a lot of pieces, it didn’t affect the legibility of the content on the paper. When the pieces were completely assembled into one full sheet, Bai Yan finally realized that this was a suicide note.
‘My greatest crime was being alive.’
‘I shouldn’t have lived. I shouldn’t be back. When I became aware of this, it was already far too late. Even if I’ve already decided to die, it won’t solve things.’
‘Kind-hearted person, I don’t know who you are, but when you set your eyes upon this letter, I have long been dead. May I trouble you to help me handle my corpse or simply notify the police. I’m still bothering others even after my death and could only bring everyone more misery. My life is a complete and utter joke.’
‘Even after death, people like me have endless troubles. Please settle my estate according to this will. I have a haunted house in my name, please help me sort out my employees’ wages and ask them to find new jobs. As for my other worldly possessions, please make sure that they will all be donated to charity. Don’t set anything aside for my parents or brother. If you want to inherit my things, then you can take as much as you like. But, I must warn you, being involved with me isn’t a good thing.’
“I see your point, but it may not necessarily be correct. The lady boss wants to donate her assets to charity, but her family might not agree with her decision.”
