Chapter 153 Not even the courage to hold on for one more day
Bo Shicheng finally understood why Bo Yuntian dared to gamble with his life.
Perhaps he felt emboldened because he believed he had the support of Zhou Lan's powerful backing.
After all, when he fell ill, he "mysteriously" found a match, successfully underwent the surgery, and has been healthy ever since.
Fortunately, Mr. Bo still believed that Bo Shicheng was his biological son.
So from early morning until Bo Shicheng fell ill, Old Master Bo had been trying to get Bo Ye to donate bone marrow to Bo Shicheng.
When Bo Shicheng first learned of Old Master Bo's plan, he did strongly oppose it. He did not want to implicate others because of his illness, and he did not want to accept such a coercive arrangement, even if it was to save his own life.
Later, Bo Yuntian pressed too hard, and the situation became increasingly urgent.
Bo Shicheng was torn internally, but in the end, he decided to feign compliance with his father's wishes.
But this is not a compromise, but a stopgap measure.
He wanted to prove to Bo Yuntian that he wouldn't be so easily controlled by him, and wouldn't become a pawn to be manipulated.
Another reason is that Bo Shicheng analyzed Bo Yuntian's actions and concluded that he would not be able to shake the old man's power for the time being.
Even though Bo Yuntian is no longer the carefree, detached person he once was, in the midst of this complex family struggle, the power of Old Master Bo remains a formidable force, a problem that Bo Yuntian cannot solve simply by relying on his powerful backer.
Therefore, at this moment, Bo Shicheng must find someone to rely on, and rely on them for as long as possible.
The reason I suggested going to find Bo Ye with Lin Qingran that day was because I wanted to take the opportunity to help.
He had a deeper plan in mind, and dragging Zhou Lan into the mess was the key step.
Bo Shicheng looked at Lin Qingran with a deep gaze, "Without Zhou Lan, Bo Yuntian will lose a lot of support. This is an excellent opportunity to weaken him, and I must seize it."
However, the current situation is obvious: although Zhou Lan has been arrested, she is cunning and resourceful and clearly still has a backup plan.
The fact that Lin Yuyan has not been found to this day may be Zhou Lan's way out.
Bo Shicheng stared blankly at Lin Qingran and said in a hoarse voice.
"So what I said during the day wasn't unfounded; I really don't want to live anymore."
His face was etched with exhaustion and helplessness, his brows were furrowed, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes had lost their former luster, like a stagnant pool without a ripple.
"We are both in the same boat, I think Miss Jiang should understand."
After giving a bitter laugh, Bo Shicheng's face turned gloomy again, his eyes filled with pain.
“Miss Jiang, do you know that Bo Yuntian once told me that on my mother’s wedding night, which she was looking forward to the most, he bribed the staff in the banquet hall to drug the old man’s wine, causing him to fall into a coma.”
Lin Qingran stared at Bo Shicheng in shock, unable to believe it.
Bo Shicheng continued, "My mother was overjoyed to spend the night with the old man, but what awaited her was a nightmare."
Bo Shicheng's body trembled slightly, his eyes were red, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable grief and indignation.
"And right there on their wedding bed, next to the old man, Bo Yuntian secretly sneaked in, impersonated the old man, and assaulted my mother."
His throat seemed to be choked by something; he paused for a moment, then continued.
"My mother thought it was my father, but she didn't know it was Bo Yuntian's evil deeds. It was because of this sinful night that I came into being."
Bo Shicheng closed his eyes in pain, tears streaming down his face.
"So even my birth was nothing but a scheme. He just casually uttered this cruel truth, how can I accept it?"
He roared, as if to vent all the pain and anger in his heart.
Bo Shicheng couldn't help but shed tears.
Tears streamed down his face, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
After a long while, he finally calmed down and told Lin Qingran with a trembling voice.
"If Bo Yuntian can do something so heinous and immoral, I can't imagine what he'll do next. Although Zhou Lan has a backup plan, Bo Yuntian will definitely suffer some blows after this. But under such circumstances, I'm afraid Bo Yuntian will become even more insane."
Bo Shicheng took a deep breath, his brows furrowed.
"A beast driven to the brink of destruction, no one knows what crazy things it might do."
Bo Shicheng's face was full of determination and helplessness as he spoke in a low voice.
"So, I have no choice but to die. Because I can see that if Bo Yuntian really could defeat the old man, he would have done it long ago, and wouldn't have to go through me. He doesn't have that much confidence, which is why he's willing to use me like this."
His gaze was vacant, as if his soul had been ripped away.
“My existence has become the key to his conspiracy. But why must I get involved? Even if I can’t completely destroy his plan, I can still hinder Bo Yuntian’s progress to a large extent if I’m gone. This may be the last thing I can do to stop his evil deeds.”
Lin Qingran remained silent for a long time, her gaze fixed on Bo Shicheng, and asked him a question.
"Have you ever considered that after you're gone, Bo Yuntian might not be delayed in his plans as you predicted, but instead become even more ruthless? If your countermeasures don't work at all, then wouldn't your death have been in vain?"
Upon hearing this, Bo Shicheng froze on the spot, speechless for a moment.
Time seemed to stand still, and the air grew heavy.
After a long while, he gave a bitter laugh, his voice filled with bitterness and helplessness.
"Miss Jiang, to be honest, I never thought about these things at all."
He lowered his head, looking dejected.
"I only thought about doing everything I could to stop him, even at the cost of my life. As for the consequences, I had no time to consider them."
Bo Shicheng's gaze dimmed for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"And in a sense, I am also a selfish person. Because I think that once I die, many things in this world will no longer concern me."
His voice was filled with deep weariness. "I'm really tired. I don't want to face this endless struggle and conspiracy anymore, and I don't want to endure this painful torment anymore. Death is like a relief for me, allowing me to escape all of this. A person like me, with such a worthless life, sometimes I really don't care about what others will do, I only think about escaping this nightmarish life."
Bo Shicheng smiled bitterly, “People say it’s better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, but some people really don’t even have the courage to hold on for one more day.”
