Warning: s**cide and death, read with caution!

Joining in on the chase for Longwei, Chan and Jia Mei find Yuuki down on the ground and ran over to check on her.
"Yu! Yu, what happened? Are you alright?" Jia Mei placed a hand on Yuuki's shoulder, see a deep cut in her arm.
Chan slowly helped her up "What happened?"
Yuuki waved her hand to brush off her injury "I'm not priority, focus on capturing him!"
Nodding, they allow medics tend to Yuuki's injuries as they join in to continue the chase after Longwei. Eventually, he was found cornered by others on the ledge at the top of the warehouse roof. He was shaking, a panicked look in his eyes while pointing the gun in his hand towards anyone who took a step closer. Walking through, the people who accompanied Yuuki on this rescue mission made a path so that Jia Mei and Arianne could get closer to Longwei.
"Longwei!" Jia Mei called out to him as she pushed to the front, Chan holding up an arm in front of her. Longwei backed up slowly as Jia Mei kept stepping forward, only to be stopped in case the situation escalated at all. With the air so tense in that moment, Arianne's voice broke through as it boomed out to get Longwei's attention.
"Lei Longwei! You have no where else to run! Just surrender yourself and atone for all the sins you've commited. Not only the actions you've done towards Mei and Chan, but towards the innocent lives you took of all those unknowing women!"
She then takes her aunt by the arm and whispers "Auntie Ari, please. Let me talk to him, he'll listen to me."
Her aunt looks at her as if she's truly lost her mind "Are you mad? He confined you in a warehouse for a week, starved you, and mentally tortured you Mei! How could you even-"
"Auntie please. He'll listen to me, trust me." Jia Mei begs as she squeezes her arm a little tighter.
Arianne stares at her niece for a moment before nodding and stepping back. Trusting her words, she allowed Jia Mei to take a few steps closer to talk to him.
"Longwei, please stop all of this. Just surrender yourself. I'll make sure auntie doesn't do anything to harm you, and slowly we'll help you mentally get better."
"NO!" He screams, panting as if he's running out of air "I can't... I can't let him have you, flower... I need you, I love you."
"That wasn't love, Longwei." Jia Mei's eyes begin to water, thinking about everything that's been happening during the past couple of months "That was obsession and torture. If you truly loved me, you would've let me be happy like you promised years ago... But everything you've done has only scared me or hurt me."
He didn't say anything, he just kept stepping backwards while Jia Mei kept talking.
"Besides, you're already married. You're married to Chun Hua. You could've learned to love her instead of me, she would've loved you too-."
"SHE'S ALREADY DEAD." He cuts her off with a screeching confession, panting as everyone stares at him in shock.
"I killed her, Mei. I killed her after torturing her for eleven long months. I even killed my father, my stepmom..." He continued to confess as he began to cry "And I almost killed you, the woman I promised to protect."
"Longwei, killing people isn't the answer. Just let us help you." she then began to reach out her hand, but he kept moving away while he kept sobbing. 
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry my flower..."
Her heartbeat began to quicken it's pace, she knew what he was going to do "Please step away from the ledge. Chan and I can forgive you , and even help you heal if you just..." she trails off, not sure how to continue her thoughts.
