Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 130 Showdown Ii

Jade understood the feeling well especially when she saw her parents brought over her two siblings to meet her and Mama, she sensed their treatment towards them were definitely different from the way they treated her. Initially, she just thought they didn’t know how to nurture and love but seeing them with her two siblings, she felt an indescribable hurt. She was lucky to have Mama Lu care and support. She unconsciously touched her bulging abdomen, and caressed it lovingly, mummy and daddy promised if we have more than one child, we will love you all equally and show no favouritism.

Parents plays an important role is child upbringing, look at how her own family is such a mess, maybe if Mama Lu wasn’t so partial to her and gave equal love to April and Chris as well, maybe then their conflict would have resolved earlier. Resentment, hatred in a family is such a pity, because family is supposed to be your pillar of support in good times and bad times. In this world, no one can truly live alone. She stared at the man in front of her venting his emotions, her heart softened. She stared at him with eyes filled with pity.

Lee Han Ping noticed the changed of gaze in Jade’s eyes and was taken aback. Then he became angrier. “Woman! I don’t need your pity!!!” He shouted while pointing his index finger right at her face. “Save that pity on yourself and unborn child!” He added.

Jade was unfazed by his threat. She was thinking hard about his threat instead, he went through a body search and they could not find a weapon. The dogs didn’t bark anxiously when he passed through, he unlikely to be carrying a bomb but most likely he is. Her intuition is telling her, he is going to blow them all up. This kind of psychology she has seen before, a desperate man, willing to die, with him walking in so carefree, he must have a hidden triumph card. She then had an inkling of what it might be. She made some hidden signals to her men. Everybody took their place. They signalled the message Jade asked to pass on, “it is a bomb, the outer squad can quietly retreat”

Lee Han Ping was too emotional to detect any abnormalities. Jade decided to keep quiet and allow the brothers to talk, most probably all these years they never actually spoken to each other.

“Since, you wanted to express it all, let me tell you, I didn’t know you wanted my life and since young I was envious of how carefree yours was, no restriction, able to have your own dream, able to do things you like, instead of going through hellish training, on some days you just wished tomorrow never comes so that the tortures will end, grandfather was a mean man, the king of the underworld, his training was not simple. I endured hoping you would never have to go through what I did and allowed you keep living the carefree life I wanted.” Lee Han Ting explained.

“Don’t make yourself a Saint and all noble. I was neglected, unloved.” Lee Han Ping ranted.

“I didn’t received love from our parents as well, it was all strict educations, I learnt to love and be loved when I married Yu Ling. I vowed to love Derek differently on how we were brought up till you destroy our lives. If anyone should be angry, it’s me!!!” Lee Han Ting could not help but roared.

“My son grew up thinking I hated him. My son had to experience his mother dying protecting him and be scarred for life. My son grew up without his mother, all because of your self delusion and selfish acts, tell me, who, who shall pay for that? I didn’t kill you that day because before Yu Ling left for the ransom exchange, she said no matter what, me and you are bound by blood, if you repented, we should forgive you. My Yu Ling, spared your pitiful life. I respected her wish and just kept you locked up.” His initial angry tone became soft sobs in between each sentence. Jade patted Father Lee’s shoulder to offer comfort and to calm him. Her touch soothed his seething anger and his deep sorrows. He has kept all these in buried in his heart, with no one to voice it out loud.

Lee Han Ping heard each words loud and clear, he looked carefully at his brother’s face for the first time in his life. He never actually gave the man in front of him much attention, they don’t very much apart, he felt like he is staring at himself when he looked into the mirror. Sorrow, guilt, and helplessness. He looked down at his hands, the scene of that particular day Yu Ling died came back to him, he had those memories suppressed when Lily appeared in his life. Was he wrong? Did he misunderstood his brother? Did he misinterpreted Yu Ling’s affection towards him? Was he really delusional as they all claimed? Yu Ling… Why? He remembered her words clearly about how she loved his brother and his nephew, how he stubbornly refused to acknowledge it. He fell to his knees, despite all that you were still so forgiving. His decision started to waver.

He didn’t know that Al Paci had been listening on their conversations and he did not know that Al Paci also had a detonator in his hand, in case he backed out. Al Paci had a gut feeling that this useless old man is going to back out anytime soon. Lee Han Ping suddenly heard Al Paci’s voice in his head, “You better uphold your end, don’t get all soft hearted. I don’t care what is the deal between you and your brother all I know is all three of you must die.

Lee Han Ping could not figure how Al Paci’s voice could enter his head, he didn’t know that they had implanted a hearing device in his cochlear. He clutched his head in agony. ARRGHHHH!!!!

“Shut up!!!!!!! I don’t need to follow your orders!!!! Shut the fuck up!!!” Lee Han Ping was screaming while clutching his head.

Jade noticing his peculiar behaviour grabbed Father Lee’s hand and brought him towards the bomb shelter entrance, her hands were already on the button for the entrance to open up, her hidden guards also moved in formations.

Al Paci warning and menacing tone continue to transmit in Lee Han Ping’s head. Lee Han Ping looked up with a bewildered look in his half craze eyes, and gestured for the two to leave and put his hand up that indicate he is offering an apology. Before he could complete the gesture, Al Paci pressed on the detonator and Lee Han Ping, shouted, “Now!!!! Sorry for all my sins!!!”
