For a while after Ranran left, Shen Dinghai seemed to have lost the most important pillar in his life, and grief overwhelmed him like a tide.
But he knew that if Ranran were there, she would never allow him to sink.
After all, her only wish is to make everyone as happy and carefree as him. If he becomes the saddest person in the world...how can he be worthy of his cousin's efforts?
Shen Dinghai had imagined countless times where Ran Ran had gone, how she had reached a deal with the Cavernous Consciousness, or even how she had defeated the Cavernous Consciousness and restored peace to this beautiful blue planet; or how she had completely sacrificed herself to get everything people enjoy now?
Shen Dinghai didn't want it to be the latter, he hoped his cousin was still alive.
In fact, he often felt that Ranran was still alive in many moments in his life, just like when Ranran taught him to identify the traces of ghosts.
The breeze blowing across your cheeks and hair, the curling leaves falling, and the slowly rising smoke.
Shen Dinghai even dreamed of a specific scene:
Ranran talked with the terrifying cave consciousness in the ethereal space, and said to it, "Let's make a deal." After the deal was completed, she turned into boundless consciousness, covering every corner of this world.
There was no more burden on her shoulders, and no more responsibilities in her heart. She could finally take a good look at this place that she had always protected.
Like a guardian angel protecting this world.
There were no gods on Blue Planet in the past, but now there are gods.
In addition to taking good care of himself and the world, there was another important thing that Ranran entrusted to him, and Shen Dinghai did not forget it.
It is our duty to support the good and punish the evil.
At the last moment of her life, Ranran entrusted him with her unfinished mission. He must carry it out well and make those who had done evil pay the price they deserved.
That day, Shen Dinghai went to the prison to visit Wei Kaiyan with mixed feelings.
He stood in front of the visiting window of the prison, looking at the man who had tried his best to climb up by any means necessary but now ended up in a miserable state. He couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart.
Wei Kaiyan's hair was messy and stuck to his head, his face was covered with stubble, and his prison uniform was wrinkled. He looked nothing like the pitiful appearance he had carefully disguised himself to be in Xinxin Manor.
"Wei Kaiyan, look at yourself now, it's really ridiculous." Shen Dinghai looked at Wei Kaiyan with disappointment and shook his head. "You tried your best to get close to Uncle Song, but in the end you ended up like this. Do you feel any regret?"
Wei Kaiyan raised his head, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, he gritted his teeth, "What do I have to regret? I just want to live a rich life, what's wrong with that? Song Qinian is so rich, what's wrong with me getting close to him? I haven't done anything to harm others!"
Seeing that Wei Kaiyan still had the same attitude as before, without any change, Shen Dinghai became furious when he heard these words.
"The whole world has changed, but you are still stubborn! You didn't do anything to harm others? You are really good at making excuses for yourself! Those innocent people who died tragically in Xinxin Manor, don't they have anything to do with you? If you hadn't deliberately brought Yin Taohua to Uncle Song, how could Tao Yao have caused so many deaths?"
"If cousin Ranran saw you like this, she might regret protecting someone like you..." Shen Dinghai didn't finish his words and he grabbed the railing in annoyance.
When Wei Kaiyan heard the name "Ran Ran", his body trembled. He subconsciously shrank back, with a trace of fear in his eyes. "Why are you blaming me for this? I didn't know that something like that would happen... I'm also a victim!" "Isn't the punishment that little kid gave me enough? I'm already miserable enough!"
Shen Dinghai snorted coldly, "Victim? You still have the nerve to say you are a victim? It's obviously you who are blinded by greed!"
"Tao Yao is just a ghost who has long lost himself in the wear and tear of time. Moreover, modern judicial methods have no way of punishing a ghost, so this tragedy can only be blamed on you!"
"You have ruined so many families because of your greed. You deserve to be punished now!"
Wei Kaiyan wanted to say something else, but Shen Dinghai didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.
Unrepentant bastard!
Whenever Shen Dinghai thought about his cousin sacrificing herself to protect such a person, he couldn't control the anger in his heart. He took a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he spoke calmly.
"Wei Kaiyan, do you know? Your death is approaching."
When Wei Kaiyan heard this, the expression on his face froze instantly. His eyes widened, his pale lips began to tremble, and he looked at Shen Dinghai in disbelief, "You...are you kidding me? Am I going to be shot? I clearly didn't do anything!"
Shen Dinghai sneered, "Do you think I would joke about such a thing? Your execution date has been set. It will be today, next month." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket with Wei Kaiyan's execution date written on it.
He mercilessly stuck the paper on the glass of the visiting window so that Wei Kaiyan could see it clearly.
Wei Kaiyan looked at the paper and his body began to tremble violently. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and he kept muttering to himself: "No... Impossible... This can't be true! You can't do this to me! I still have a chance, I will definitely get out"
"I obviously didn't do anything!"
Shen Dinghai looked at Wei Kaiyan's appearance, and there was no sympathy in his heart. He said in a cold voice: "Wei Kaiyan, this is the result of your evil deeds. You have harmed so many people for your own greed, and you have no remorse. You always just want to escape, lie and deny. This is the price you should pay!"
"Just enjoy your last days." Shen Dinghai said and turned away without looking back, leaving Wei Kaiyan alone crying in despair in prison.
Shen Dinghai walked out of the prison, the sun shone on him, but his mood was extremely heavy.
He will probably never forget Wei Kaiyan's frightened and gloomy look in this life. He can even feel from Wei Kaiyan's ugly face what Ran Ran once said, the vigorous vitality that people burst out in order to survive.
Life is precious and magnificent, so Shen Dinghai does not want to hurt anyone, or even cause anyone to lose their life.
But this was the retribution Wei Kaiyan deserved.
Shen Dinghai secretly swore in his heart that he must make sure that all the evil people in this world receive the punishment they deserve, so that he could comfort those kind souls and reflect the preciousness of life...
Only then can Ran Ran, who is somewhere in the world, feel at ease. (End of this chapter)
