Suddenly Qu Xiang Nan fell to the ground. Both Bai Cao and Guang Ya shouted.
Guang Ya - Pa!
Bai Cao - Master!
There was a lot of blood coming out from Qu Xiang Nan's back.
Bai Cao and Guang Ya ran towards him.
Donghai - It is all your fault. He was never our target but because you remembered everything he had to die. If you would not have come here to ask him. You are the reason Bai Cao... you are the reason for your parents' death... you are the reason for your master, Qu Xiang Nan's death. Your parents were died saving you and Qu Xiang Nan will die because you wanted to know the truth. You are the reason for the deaths. You killed all of them.
When suddenly, Ting Hao punched Donghai and Donghai fell to the ground.
Ting Hao - How dare you... how dare you say anything like that about Bai Cao?
Donghai - You will also die because of her. You will die because you love her so much and you won't let anything harm her.
Ting Hao - Shut up!
Ting Hao punched Donghai after saying that.
Ting Hao punched Donghai's head so hard that he fainted at the spot but Ting Hao kept punching him.
Bai Cao(crying) - Senior Ting Hao, please stop! Please stop!
Ting Hao stopped and went towards Bai Cao.
Bai Cao - Please call an ambulance, Senior Ting Hao.
Ting Hao - Yeah.
Then Ting Hao went to call an ambulance.
Bai Cao - Master, please keep your eyes open... please. You will be alright.
Guang Ya - Yeah, pa. You need to stay. I have a lot of things to share with you. I want to tell you a lot of things. Please.
Bai Cao - I am sorry, master. I am sorry, Guang Ya. It all happened because of me. I am the reason for my parents' death. I am the reason of you getting shot. I am sorry.
Bai Cao kept her head on Qu Xiang Nan's hand. She was crying her heart out.
Qu Xiang Nan - I am sorry, Bai Cao. I am sorry for hiding the truth... your true identity from you but I had no other option. I had to hide your identity to keep you safe.
Bai Cao - I know, master... I know that whatever you did must have a valid reason behind it.
Qu Xiang Nan - Bai Cao, Guang Ya, I love you two a lot. You two are my life... my daughters. I just want to say one thing... please don't hate me. Bai Cao, please don't hate me for hiding the truth from you. Guang Ya, please don't hate for not being able to protect you from those who bullied you because they thought that I am a traitor. Please don't hate me, you two, for not being a good dad.
Guang Ya - You are the best dad, pa. You are the best.
Bai Cao - Yeah. You are the best dad. You loved me as your daughter even though I was not. You are the best master. Because of you, I am standing here... because of you, I became a martial artist. I could never hate you... we could never hate you. I will never hate you for hiding the truth from me. You mean a lot to me. I don't want to know the truth. I just want you to be ok.
Qu Xiang Nan - No, Bai Cao. You need to know the truth.
Bai Cao - No. Get well first, then tell us the truth.
Qu Xiang Nan - Just listen to me, Bai Cao. There is a diary in my red coloured bag. In that diary, I have written everything because I knew that this day will come.
Bai Cao - I am sorry, master.
Qu Xiang Nan - Bai Cao, it's not your fault.
Bai Cao - It is my fault.
Qu Xiang Nan - Ting Hao, come here, please.
Ting Hao went near Qu Xiang Nan.
Ting Hao - Yeah, Master Qu Xiang Nan?
Qu Xiang Nan - Please take care of her. I know that I don't need to say this but still, I am asking you to take care of her. Never leave her side.
Ting Hao - I won't leave her side ever.
Qu Xiang Nan - Come closer.
Ting Hao went closer to Qu Xiang Nan.
Qu Xiang Nan - Never stop loving her. Keep on loving her. You will get what you want.
Ting Hao was confused. Then suddenly, he noticed that Qu Xiang Nan's eyes were closed.
Ting Hao - Master Qu Xiang Nan!
Bai Cao - Master!
Chang An went near him and holds Qu Xiang Nan's wrist to check his pulse.
Chang An - He still has a pulse but it's very slow. We need to rush. We can't wait for the ambulance.
Ting Hao - Ok. Let's take him to the hospital in our car.
Then Ting Hao picked Qu Xiang Nan up in his arms and was about to reach the door when suddenly, Xiao Ba came inside running.
Xiao Ba - There is an ambulance outside.
Chang An - Let's go, Ting Hao.
Soon they reached outside. Ting Hao made Qu Xiang Nan lie on the stretcher inside the ambulance.
Both Bai Cao and Guang Ya were about to sit inside but a ward-boy stopped him.
Ward-boy - Only one person can come with us in this ambulance.
Both Bai Cao and Guang Ya kept looking at Qu Xiang Nan.
Bai Cao lowered down her face and turned her face towards Guang Ya. Guang Ya was still looking at Qu Xiang Nan.
Bai Cao keeps her hand on Guang Ya's back.
Bai Cao - You go in the ambulance, Guang Ya. I will reach the hospital in the car with everyone else.
Guang Ya - Thanks!
Guang Ya sat inside the ambulance. The ward boy slowly shuts the door. Bai Cao kept looking at Qu Xiang Nan's face. Then the ambulance went away towards the hospital, but Bai Cao still kept looking at the ambulance with tears in her eyes.
Ting Hao went near her and put his hand around her shoulder.
Ting Hao - Let's go, Bai Cao.
They all sat inside the car.
Bai Cao was looking outside the window. Tears were falling off her eyes non-stop.
Ting Hao kept looking at her but didn't say anything.
Soon they reached the hospital.
Qu Xiang Nan was taken inside an operation theatre (OT).
Everyone was sitting in front of the operation theatre but Bai Cao kept standing. She was walking left and right.
Ting Hao went near her.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, sit down for a while.
Bai Cao - No, Senior Ting Hao. I don't want to sit.
Saying that, Bai Cao again continued walking.
INSIDE THE O.T
The doctor was taking out the bullet from Qu Xiang Nan's back and as he did that, a lot of blood came out and Qu Xiang Nan's heartbeat started to fall.
Doctor - Cover the wound ASAP.
Before the doctor could do anything, the lines on the machine went straight.
OUTSIDE THE O.T
Bai Cao was standing outside when suddenly, the doctors came out of the OT.
Seeing them coming out, everyone stood up in their places.
Bai Cao - How is he?
Doctor - I am really sorry. We tried our best but we could not save him... I am really sorry.
Saying that, the doctors went from there.
Guang Ya sat on a chair and started crying. Xiao Ying and Ting Yi were consoling her.
On the other side, Bai Cao was standing still. She walked inside the O.T.
Some nurses were about to take Qu Xiang Nan outside.
Bai Cao - Please stop. I want to be here alone with him. Can you all please leave me alone here?
Nurse - Yeah, sure. In case you need anything, just press that red button.
Bai Cao - Thank you.
Then the nurses went out from the OT.
Bai Cao sat on a chair next to Qu Xiang Nan.
She kept looking at Qu Xiang Nan's face.
Her eyes filled with tears as she was looking at Qu Xiang Nan. She looks up to not let her tears fall off her eyes.
She lowered down her head and holds Qu Xiang Nan's hand.
Bai Cao - I am sorry, master. I am really sorry. It's all because of me. You died because of me. Donghai was right. I killed my parents, I even killed you. I am nothing but a killer. I am sorry, master.
Then suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
It was no one else but Guang Ya.
Seeing her, Bai Cao hugged her and cried.
Bai Cao - I am sorry, Guang Ya. I am sorry.
Guang Ya - Don't be sorry, Bai Cao. Don't be... It is not your fault... It was never your fault
Bai Cao - It is my fault, Guang Ya. Because of me... you lost your father.
Guang Ya - I am not the only one who lost her father. You also loved dad as your father. Even you lost your dad, right?
Bai Cao nodded.
Guang Ya - Bai Cao, dad told me something when I was in the ambulance with him.
Bai Cao - What did he tell you?
Guang Ya - He told me his last wish.
FLASHBACK
Qu Xiang Nan was wearing an oxygen mask while Guang Ya was holding his hand.
Qu Xiang Nan slowly removes the oxygen mask.
Qu Xiang Nan - Guang Ya!
Guang Ya - Pa, we will reach the hospital soon. Don't worry.
Qu Xiang Nan - Listen to me Guang Ya.
Guang Ya - Ok.
Qu Xiang Nan - After I die, bury my body next to Bai Cao's parents.
Guang Ya - Pa, nothing is going to happen. You will be alright.
Qu Xiang Nan - Please! It is my last wish. Yi Feng will tell you where Bai Cao's parents are buried. Okay?
Guang Ya - No! Nothing is going to happen to you. You will be alright.
Qu Xiang Nan - Tell Bai Cao to read that diary. I know her very well. She won't read it because she will feel guilty. Tell her that it was not her fault. It was destined to happen. Ok?
Guang Ya - Yeah.
Qu Xiang Nan - I love you, my daughter.
Guang Ya - I love you too.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
Guang Ya - We should fulfil his last wish. Right, Bai Cao?
Bai Cao - Yeah. We must.
Scene changed.
Everyone was at the graveyard. Qu Xiang Nan's body was buried beside Bai Cao's parents' graves.
They all puts flower on the three graves.
Chang An had tears seeing his parents' graves.
Bai Cao had tears in her eyes too. But she had tears because she was thinking that she was the cause of her parents and her master's death.
She was blaming herself for all those deaths.
Chang An - I think we should go now.
Guang Ya - Yeah, I think the same.
Then they all went towards their house.
Soon they reached.
Bai Cao said nothing to anyone and went inside her room. She locked herself up inside the room.
Chang An and Guang Ya were about to go to Bai Cao's room but before they could, Ting Hao stopped them.
Ting Hao - Leave her alone for some time.
Chang An - What are you saying, Ting Hao? You know what she thinks... you know that she is blaming herself for our parents' death... she is blaming herself for master Qu Xiang Nan's death and still, you are saying that we should leave her alone!
Ting Hao - Yeah. I want you guys to leave her alone for some time.
Chang An - Are you crazy, Ting Hao! I guess your love for Bai Cao has started to fade. That's why you don't care about Bai Cao that much.
Ting Hao - You think I don't care about Bai Cao! You think my love for her has started to fade! How can you even think that, Chang An? You are not the only one who wants to go near her... sit beside her and tell her that it's not her mistake. Everyone here wants to do that especially me. I know that she is blaming herself... I know she is hurt but she does need some time alone. If we will go to her then she will feel suffocated. She needs to think. She is not in her right mind, Chang An. Even if we will say anything to her now, she won't understand. Give her some time. She needs it. She just lost a person who was like a father to her. Please, Chang An.
Chang An - Fine. Let's just give her some time.
At night.
Everyone was in the drawing-room except Bai Cao. She was still in her room.
Ting Hao went to her room after preparing dinner.
As he reached there, he realised that the door was not locked.
He slowly opens the door and sees that Bai Cao was sitting on the floor holding Qu Xiang Nan's picture in her hand.
Ting Hao went towards her and sat beside her.
Bai Cao -Why did you come here, Senior Ting Hao?
Ting Hao - Let's go and eat dinner.
Bai Cao - I don't want anything right now.
Ting Hao - Why?
Bai Cao - I am not hungry.
Ting Hao - But I am.
Bai Cao - So, why don't you go and eat dinner?
Ting Hao - I won't.
Bai Cao - Why?
Ting Hao - Because you are not hungry.
Bai Cao - Please, Senior Ting Hao. Go and eat.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao, no one is going to eat without you. Do you want us to starve?
Bai Cao - Not at all, Senior Ting Hao.
Ting Hao - Then let's go and eat your dinner with us.
Ting Hao holds Bai Cao hand and took her downstairs.
They all start eating their dinner.
While they were eating.
Guang Ya - Guys, I want to go back to China.
Bai Cao - Why all of a sudden?
Guang Ya - I want to visit mom. Don't worry, I will come back soon. I told aunt about what happened, she is really broken. I should visit her too.
Bai Cao - You are right.
Ting Hao - Ok, then I will book the tickets.
Guang Ya - No. I have already booked a flight ticket.
Bai Cao - When are you leaving?
Guang Ya - Tomorrow morning.
Bai Cao - Ok.
Ting Hao - Yi Feng, where is Donghai now?
Yi Feng - Xiao Ba has kept him inside a room.
Ting Hao - Ok then we will go there after dropping Guang Ya at the airport.
Everyone - Ok.
Then next day
Everyone was getting ready to drop Guang Ya at the airport.
Soon they all came out of their rooms and went towards the airport.
Chang An was driving.
Bai Cao was looking at Qu Xiang Nan's picture on her phone and Ting Hao noticed it.
Ting Hao(thinking) - What can I do for you, Bai Cao? What can I do to reduce your pain?
Soon they reached the airport.
Guang Ya was going inside when suddenly, she stopped and went towards Bai Cao.
Bai Cao - What happened, Guang Ya?
Guang Ya - There is something I forgot to give you.
Bai Cao - What is it?
Then Guang Ya opens her backpack and takes out a diary.
Guang Ya - Bai Cao, this is the diary dad was talking about. Read it, ok? It was also dad's last wish and you only said that we must fulfil his last wish, right?
Bai Cao nodded.
Guang Ya - You will read it, right?
Bai Cao again nodded and a teardrop well to the ground.
Then Guang Ya went inside the airport.
Everyone else sat inside the car and went towards Yi Feng's hotel where Donghai is kept.
INSIDE THE AIRPORT.
Guang Ya was waiting for her flight to come. Then suddenly, she felt thirsty.
She saw a shop in front of her. She got up from her place and went towards the shop.
She was about to reach when suddenly, a guy bumped into her. She was about to fall but before she could, that guy holds her from her waist.
Guang Ya was shocked seeing that guy's face.
Guang Ya - You!
On the other side, everyone reached Yi Feng's hotel.
They went towards the room where Donghai has been locked up.
As Donghai saw them, he laughed.
Donghai - You could not save him, right?
He again laughed saying that. Ting Hao could not control his anger. He went towards Donghai and started hitting him but Donghai kept on laughing.
Chang An went towards Ting Hao and holds his hand.
Chang An - Ting Hao, stop.
Ting Hao - How can I stop? Can't you hear what he is saying?
Chang An - I can. But beating him is not the solution you know that very well.
Ting Hao - Why did you kill Master Qu Xiang Nan? Who told you to do so?
Donghai - I didn't kill him. Bai Cao did. Bai Cao didn't only kill him but her parents too.
Ting Hao - Stop saying this rubbish.
Donghai - It's not rubbish. Wait let me explain. Her parents died because they wanted to save Bai Cao. If Bai Cao was not there, then they could have run away and they would have been alive now. Right?
Before Ting Hao could say anything, Donghai started saying.
Donghai - And now, Qu Xiang Nan died because Bai Cao wanted to know the truth. We would have never killed Qu Xiang Nan if Bai Cao would not have remembered everything. So, technically, Bai Cao killed all three of them. Bai Cao is the killer.
Ting Hao was really angry. He was about to punch Dong Hai but before he could he heard a door shutting. He turned back and saw that everyone was there except Bai Cao.
Ting Hao - Guys, Bai Cao is not here. We need to find her.
Everyone came out of the room and started searching Bai Cao in different directions. Then suddenly, Ting Hao saw Bai Cao.
He ran towards her and holds her hand to stop her.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao!
Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, please leave me alone for some time.
Ting Hao - Bai Cao!
Bai Cao - Please!
Then Bai Cao releases her hand from Ting Hao's hand and went out of the hotel.
She started walking on the road.
Everything that Donghai said was running in her mind.
Suddenly, a car at full speed was coming towards Bai Cao. It was blowing the horn but Bai Cao could not hear it. She was lost in her thoughts. Then suddenly, a girl bumped into her and Bai Cao was taken out of her thoughts. Bai Cao was able to hear the horn. She looked back and saw that the car was coming towards her at full speed and it was really close to her.
Bai Cao looked at that girl. She hugged the girl to save her.
The car was really close to her and was about to hit her but Bai Cao kept hugging the girl.
