Chapter 80 - Wish List Before Death
"Hahaha, I blame Minghao\'s stupidity. He left the responsibility for such a big project to a kid. A kid who can\'t even blow his nose properly, hahaha ...." Chairman Lin commented.
The reporter replied, "But, Young Master Zhang was also a victim of the fire accident."
"It could have been that unstable boy who carried out the suicide bombing. I heard, Little Zhang is Minghao\'s illegitimate child with a Geisha. If I were Minghao, I would definitely hide such a child forever. If necessary I would exile the young man abroad. What\'s there to be proud of from such an illegitimate child, heh?" Chairman Lin replied, with a condescending laugh.
"Well, that\'s it, Viewers. That was my little interview with a businessman from Beijing. From this incident, there were those who were saddened by the fate of Zhang Group, some were very happy like Mr. Lim earlier.
"The worst news is, investors are threatening to demand huge damages if the project is stopped suddenly. Hopefully Zhang Group can get past this. I Jiang Li reported directly from the scene per--."

The television channel was suddenly turned off by someone, who had just entered Sifeng\'s infirmary. Zhang Yushen was the one who had just entered this room.
"Why are you watching shows like this, A-Feng?"
Yushen\'s voice sounded a little angry. He really didn\'t like it when his brother saw the trending news lately. Well, the news of the destruction of Zhang Group\'s big project, which is always broadcast on almost many national television channels.
Because the Zhang Family is one of the most respected families on this mainland. So, any news regarding the Zhang Family, is worthy of public consumption.
"They\'re right, Gege. I\'m the one responsible for this. Our months of hard work just fell apart." As he said this, Sifeng held back his tears from falling. He was very sad and sorry.
"It reminds me of something, Gege. You once said that I would not be able to finish this project quickly, and that is also the truth. Your words at that time, came true, Yu Gege."
Sifeng spoke. A sad smile also appeared on his pale lips. Sifeng\'s eyes were blank. He stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.
Slowly, Yushen approached his brother who was still lying limp in a hospital bed.
"The most important thing is that you survived the fire, A-Feng. We will start over again after you recover. Father and I will always support you." Yushen spoke, trying to calm his younger brother who looked very down at the moment. Especially after seeing the news on television earlier.
"They even accused me of carrying out a suicide bombing, Gege. Kheh! Isn\'t that ridiculous?!" Sifeng burst into tears in his smile.
"Shh ... don\'t listen to them, A-Feng! They don\'t know anything about our Zhang family. They can only say bad things. We can definitely get through this. I trust your abilities, A-Feng," said Yushen. Yushen rubbed his brother\'s head gently. He is a very good brother figure. Always support his brother in any situation.
Sifeng just fell silent hearing Yushen try to comfort him. Sifeng looks really messed up at the moment. Sifeng had just woken up from a long slumber for 3 days, but Sifeng was already faced with a harsh reality like this. Everyone called him the mastermind behind the collapse of the Zhang Group.
Sifeng\'s soul was really shaken at this moment.
Master Zhang now also entered the room. He drew closer to his youngest son. Sifeng sat down with Yushen\'s help.
When Master Zhang was at Sifeng\'s bedside, Sifeng immediately hugged his father\'s stomach tightly.
"I\'m sorry, Papa! I\'m such a useless child. I\'ve ruined everything, Papa. If I knew this was how it would turn out, I\'d better be gone in yesterday\'s fire."
Sifeng said while sobbing. Only in front of his father like this, Sifeng was able to show his weakness.
"Watch your words, A-Feng! The entire Zhang family would be a lot sadder than this, if we had to lose you too in that fire! Don\'t say such stupid things again, A-Feng!" Yushen snapped, annoyed at what his younger brother had said.
Master Zhang was more calm than Yushen at this time. He is a wise father figure.
Master Zhang brought his face closer to Sifeng\'s. He gently wiped the tears of his spoiled son.
"Calm down, A-Feng! Everything will be fine after this. Your life is more important and valuable than just a company called Zhang Group, Son."
"No! No! I ruined our dreams, Papa! I suck! Useless!" shouted Sifeng, looking very depressed.
"AAKKH! JUST KILL ME, PAPA! KILL YOUR CHILDREN WHO ALWAYS MAKES THIS TROUBLE!"
Sifeng shouted while banging his own head. Master Zhang and Yushen tried to stop Sifeng\'s self-harm. Sifeng seemed unable to control his own emotions.
Master Zhang and Yushen were so overwhelmed with holding Sifeng\'s hand, which Sifeng was going to use to beat his own head, which was still wrapped in thick bandages.
A moment later, Sifeng\'s body suddenly became so weak and collapsed. Sifeng lost his consciousness again, in Master Zhang\'s arms.
"A-FENG!!" Master Zhang and Yushen shouted in unison.
"A-Shen, quickly call the doctor!"
Master Zhang\'s voice sounded so panicked.

(Zhang Sifeng POV)
I\'m holding on just for a hope. But, now that that hope has disappeared, is it still possible for me to survive?
Now I have no reason to hold on. Will I just be forgotten? My hopes of making Robot Park my reason to be remembered have vanished.
Initially, I planned to make the Robot Theme Park a great achievement of mine. Even though I\'m no longer in this world after that, at least everyone still remembers me when I was in that Robot Theme Park.
They would all say that the playground was the hard work of Zhang\'s youngest son, Zhang Sifeng. Everyone will be happy when they are in the robot-themed playground. But, now everything is destroyed, nothing left. My hard work for almost a year has been in vain.
Is it still possible for me to start from scratch? My time is getting closer to the 18th month, as Lord Jack said in my dream that time.
Can I build a Robot Theme Park in just 7 months? Oh my God, is it still possible for me to last more than 7 months? Maybe, I should start counting down from now on.
This situation is so complicated.
First, Lord Jack is the only one who can save me, now locked up in Black Mountain. Even the Gods had no way of freeing Lord Jack.
Actually, it\'s not death that I\'m afraid of. Really!
I\'m just afraid that until then, I won\'t be able to unite my brother Yushen with Zhishu.
Wu Zhishu had forgotten about Yushen just like that. Is it possible that I will be able to find another Wu Zhishu for Yushen?
Second, Zhang Group has been destroyed because of me. The company that my grandfather, father and others had built from scratch has been destroyed.
Alright, now I have to make a list of good deeds like him;
One, restore the glory of Zhang Group.
Two, find another Zhishu for my brother, Yushen.
Three, improve my relationship with my birth mother. I think this is the most difficult for me. No matter how much you hate me, but I will still try to understand it.
Four, get rid of Mother Wang hatred for me. It\'s also quite difficult. Because I know her hatred for me is ingrained.
If only Wang\'s mother knew how much I love her. Many times he tried to kill me, but really it didn\'t reduce my love for him one bit. Tell me if I\'m naive! But, my love is sincere to Mrs. Wang.
Five, give happiness to my whole family. I hope they will always be happy. Whether or not I\'m on their side.
"A-Feng?" A voice interrupted my thoughts.
"Gage?"
I started to occupy myself with drawing the design of the robot garden building when Yushen entered this study.
"You haven\'t slept yet, eum? Please don\'t make things worse, A-Feng! You just got out of the hospital a few days ago."
Yushen stared at me intently.
Oh come on, Lao Yu! Don\'t pity me like this! It hurt my pride.
I just give a little smile as reaction.
"Rest, A-Feng! You don\'t have to work so hard anymore!"
"I\'m fine at the moment, Gege. I could die at any moment. So I\'m fine right now."
For some reason, the words just slipped out of my mouth. I can\'t deny that there is a sense of hopelessness.
"Stop talking about death, you idiot!"
