Su Yutang's lips moved for a long time:
"I, I want to drink coffee."
They turned a deaf ear, loudly expressing their contributions to the Su Family over the years, loudly accusing the other of years of inaction.
In fact, both of them were well-known entitled heirs.
Su Yutang's throat moved, she opened her mouth:
"I'm thirsty, I want to drink water, pour me a glass of water."
The brothers acted as if they hadn't heard, the older brother took the contract and walked up to Su Yutang, frowning and said:
"Yutang, be reasonable, I'm the best to you in our family.
You came here to recuperate with my money, and besides, I am the eldest in the family.
After you die, it's only fair and reasonable that Detai should be inherited by me!"
The third brother was not to be outdone, pointing at the elder brother's nose and cursing:
"Do you have any shame?
Wasn't your money all given by my sister?
How could you say that my sister is here recuperating with your money?"
Then he took out a contract:
"Sister, I've worked in the company for so many years, I'm the one who knows Detai best, Detai should be mine!"
The older brother angrily retorted:
"In the years you've been at Detai, aside from playing with secretaries and collecting gifts, have you done anything serious?
If Detai is in your hands, it will be ruined sooner or later!"
The two men, around thirty, argued like overgrown babies, almost coming to blows.
Su Yutang's eyes were full of sorrow, her face full of despair.
She was the fifth-generation Sect Leader of the Su Family.
After their parents passed, she was handed the declining Su Family.
To rejuvenate the Su Family, who knows how much she drank or how many nights she stayed up, completely becoming a work machine.
She had brought the Su Family to unprecedented splendor.
No matter how difficult it was, Su Yutang never allowed her younger brother or elder brother to suffer.
How did it come to this, that she ends up in such a predicament?
They tired themselves out with arguing and began to walk towards the door, even as they left, they didn't bother to pour Su Yutang a glass of water.
Su Yutang did not want to see the backs of these two beasts, turned her head to look out the window.
There was a crow on the window, tilting its head to observe her.
Su Yutang felt a peculiar sensation.
She felt as if the crow was observing everything happening in the room.
Su Yutang smiled wryly at herself, how was it that, being on the brink of death, she still had so many plays in her heart.
How could a crow observe humans?
She dismissed this absurd thought from her mind.
Su Yutang pressed the call bell for a long time, wanting to call a nurse to pour her a glass of water.
However, no one came in.
She knew it was probably because her brother and younger brother were on guard against each other, preventing anyone from getting close to her, sealing off this ward.
Su Yutang wanted to seek help, even if someone could make her die a bit more comfortably, she would be grateful.
But the countless numbers of distinguished figures in her phone all turned out to be useless.
Many people knew she was dying, so they wouldn't help her.
Because it's thankless and would offend the next Sect Leader of South Sea Detai.
No other way, she'll have to wait for the night nurse's rounds to drink water.
Actually, dying isn't so bad.
Thirst is really uncomfortable, she reached for the TV remote at the bedside to watch some TV to distract herself.
The news was broadcasting the evening news.
"Today, twelve bodies were found in Xinghua Alley."
"According to the investigation, the identities of the twelve deceased are a college intern and eleven socially idle individuals."
Su Yutang sat up, leaning against the headboard.
Hearing news of life passing at this time, she had a different feeling.
"According to the Sheriff, they were attacked by a large feline, the public security bureau is working with wildlife experts to jointly investigate..."
Su Yutang remarked:
"Nonsense."
Then changed the channel on the TV.
A large feline appeared in the South Sea City District?
Lion?
Tiger?
Rubbish.
They must have offended someone, someone influential enough even to make the TV station spout nonsense along with them.
In this circle, she's seen and heard a lot of the world's dark side.
The TV suddenly began to flicker, then lost signal, turned into a screen full of static, and finally turned off.
The ceiling lamp in the room suddenly flickered, then lost light.
This is Green Grass Sanatorium, there can't possibly be any issues with the power system.
When there is such an anomaly, there must be something sinister at work!
Su Yutang became tense.
Could it be someone is going to make a move on her at this moment?
An enemy?
The lights returned, a man also appeared before Su Yutang's sickbed.
The man wore a long black coat, stepping in fresh black leather shoes, wearing a round hat, brim pressed low, most of his face hidden in shadow.
If the brother and the younger brother sealed the ward, how did this person appear here?
Su Yutang demanded sternly:
"Who are you!? What is your purpose!? Do you know who I am?!"
Su Yutang's hand was inside the blanket, as if ready to pull something out at any moment.
The man walked over to the water dispenser, poured a cup of water, walked slowly over to her, and handed her the cup of water.
Su Yutang stared closely at the man, still took the cup warily.
She was too thirsty.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted! Su Yutang saw something quite terrifying!
The man wore black leather gloves.
As he handed the cup, his sleeve exposed his wrist, which was nothing but bare white bones!
Before she could react to this, she noticed something else bizarre.
Most of the lights in the room deliberately avoided that man, he always stood in the shadow!
Only then did she realize the man possessed a peculiar aura.
Mysterious, noble, like... Yama, the judge of the undead!
Su Yutang shuddered with fear:
"You... who on earth are you?"
"Sorry to scare you, let me introduce myself."
Li Yang sat on a chair, his voice hoarse yet magnetic.
"I am a Ferryman wandering the border between the Mortal World and Hell.
Humans like to call me... "
He paused, gently lifted the brim of his hat, and slowly said the last two words:
"Death God."
This scene crashed down on Su Yutang's heart like lightning from a clear sky, shattering her entire worldview!
The figure before her wasn't human, it was a skeleton!
How could a skeleton move, how could it speak?!
Wearing a black coat, with a hat, the skeleton casually calling himself the Death God.
The impact was so overwhelming that Su Yutang lost the ability to think, lost the ability to speak.
Li Yang glanced at the watch on his wrist, spoke lightly:
"You don't have much time left, is there anything you want to say?"
Su Yutang opened her mouth wide, breathing heavily, like a fish about to die of thirst.
The Death God actually exists!
Am I going to die?
She was unwilling!
She was unwilling to let all her life's effort, five generations of the Su Family's efforts, fall entirely into the hands of those two brothers!
Doesn't she know them inside out?
The Su Family would inevitably decline!
Death God... is there room for negotiation?
She said, dazedly:
"Can I... not die?"
She knew, this was merely wishful thinking.
If the Death God were so easy to negotiate with, there wouldn't be any dead in this world.
"Give me a reason."
Su Yutang hastily looked at the Death God.
Within the Death God's eyes danced black ghostly fire.
She felt that the Death God was looking at her with interest.
