I Become a Big Shot in Showbiz-Chapter 45 - Onset of Illness

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Onset of Illness

“Or shall I say, Your Highness, what can I do to make you feel better, to not hate me so much? Just tell me, and I will do it.” Mu Lingyun thought for a moment and continued, “How about this, I’ll leave the capital immediately, never to appear before you again, even if I die, I’ll die far away. Do you think that would make you feel any better?”

Never to appear before him again? Even in death, to die far away?

These words reminded Ji Luochen of the past life when she had done just that.

After leaving without a goodbye, she never appeared before him again.

Before his death from illness, he wanted the Hidden Guard to take him to see her one last time.

But even with the Hidden Guard rushing him along, he had not managed to hold on until the moment he could see her.

Back then, he died far, far away from her.

How resentful he was, only he himself knew.

Thinking of this, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He clutched at his chest and lay on the desk. Even as his features contorted together and his fists turned his chest blue and purple, he couldn’t suppress that pain.

That feeling was so similar to the one before his death in Another World.

“Your Highness, what’s the matter?” Seeing this, Mu Lingyun was shocked, stood up, and nearly knocked over the chair.

But she didn’t care about that, kicked the chair aside, and rushed to Ji Luochen’s side, reaching out to grab his hand: “Your Highness, what’s wrong? What should I do? Just tell me, what should I do?”

Ji Luochen was in so much pain at the moment that his consciousness was somewhat muddled, naturally unable to respond to her, just muttering something under his breath without awareness.

Mu Lingyun leaned closer to listen, only to hear him repeating the name “Mu Yun.”

Mu Lingyun was slightly shocked. Did he hate her to this extent?

Even in pain and confusion, he did not forget to call out her name.

However, she suddenly remembered that in Another World, when Ji Luochen was ill, hugging him would sometimes alleviate the pain somewhat.

At that time, he also seemed to call out her name.

She really hoped it was not hatred, but habit.

With that thought, she reached out to embrace him, whispering softly, “Your Highness, I am here.”

Suddenly, Ji Luochen wrapped his arms around her, his head resting against her chest: “Mumu, I’m going to die, I’m dying… after this… after this… I won’t be able to see you again, what should I do?”

Upon hearing Ji Luochen say he was dying, Mu Lingyun was thrown into panic, and could no longer hear whatever else he said.

“Someone! Xiao Kai! Xiao Kai! Someone help!” Mu Lingyun cried out in panic towards the outside.

Hearing Mu Lingyun’s cries, Xiao Kai rushed in and, upon seeing Ji Luochen’s condition, immediately called for an ambulance.

The Ji family was always equipped with the best ambulance service, so in less than half an hour, Ji Luochen was admitted to the best hospital in the capital.

Consequently, the banquet was also abruptly dispersed due to the emergency.

Outside the emergency room, Mu Lingyun sat with her head lowered, nibbling on her lip.

Rong Shaofeng and Rong Shicheng sat beside her, also full of concern.

They had not expected such an incident to happen. If anything were to happen to the Crown Prince, with only their sister involved in the situation, she would likely bear all the blame.

Thus, they were genuinely worried that if Ji Luochen didn’t make it, their sister would be implicated.

But they couldn’t bear to see their sister so frightened.

Hence, Rong Shicheng could only try to comfort her: “Yunyun, don’t be afraid. This hospital is top-notch nationally, even worldwide. Shaofeng won’t come to harm.”

“Right,” Rong Shaofeng added, patting Mu Lingyun’s back, “Even if Shaofeng really doesn’t pull through, I will fight to protect you. I won’t let the Ji family harm you. Rest assured.”

Mu Lingyun looked up at the two, touched in her heart.

But she couldn’t tell them that she wasn’t worried about escaping unscathed if something happened to Ji Luochen.

She was worried about Ji Luochen himself.

She didn’t want anything to happen to him.

“Brother, you go back first. Mom and Dad, Grandpa will probably rush to the hospital when they learn about this. But their presence won’t help the situation. Go back and assure them, tell them not to worry about me,” Mu Lingyun spoke.

“No…” Rong Shaofeng began to refuse.

But he was interrupted by Rong Shicheng: “Alright, we’ll go back. You be careful. If anything happens, make sure you message us immediately, remember, immediately tell us.”

“Okay,” Mu Lingyun nodded in agreement.

Rong Shicheng said nothing more and dragged Rong Shaofeng away.

“Brother! How could you leave sister alone there?” Rong Shaofeng tried to break free from Rong Shicheng’s grip to stay with Mu Lingyun, but found it impossible, so he angrily questioned Rong Shicheng.

Rong Shicheng lowered his voice and slowly said, “What can you do by staying? Now we must prepare for the worst. Come back with me, help me arrange it. In case Shaofeng doesn’t make it, we must be able to send our sister abroad within an hour, to hide her away.”

Considering the influence the Ji family had within the country, it was impossible to hide someone in the country without the Ji family finding them.

But it is different once abroad.

If Shaofeng were to truly be in trouble, sister would only have a chance of survival by fleeing abroad.

Although the outcome was still uncertain, they had to pave the way beforehand. Every link in the chain needed to be prepared for the worst, with enough contingency plans at hand. Only in this way could they ensure sister’s safe departure.

After hearing Rong Shicheng’s words, Rong Shaofeng understood what he had to do, so he obediently followed Rong Shicheng away.

Xiao Kai, who had been standing far from Mu Lingyun, approached and sat next to her after Rong Shicheng and Rong Shaofeng left, his voice harsh with anger, “Mu Lingyun, your name is Mu Lingyun here, right? What exactly did you say to the Crown Prince? Why did it trigger his illness?”
