Chapter 110 Her Silent Farewell

Inside wasn't jewelry, but a yellowed paper airplane.

This is... twelve years ago, when he left her at the farmhouse to recuperate, and he took out a paper airplane from his pocket to coax her.

The paper has yellowed, bearing the marks of time.

He gently unfolded it, and inside were dates written all over it.

He could tell at a glance that those were the days they met, but not many.

Although there were more than a thousand days in three years, only a little over a hundred dates were recorded on it.

His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife; those unrecorded dates were all because he had missed out on her.

He saw two familiar dates: 02090630 (the numbers in her key). The first date was the New Year's Eve when he rescued her 12 years ago, while the second date, 0630, was the day Jiang Kexin rescued him. Why was it also in her record? Was she there that day?

He seemed to be deep in thought as he continued to look through the other items in the box.

Inside were his photos and paper-cuts. Those photos, from his youthful innocence to his current maturity, flashed through his mind one by one.

His triumphant appearance when he won an award; his cool profile when he appeared on financial news; and even the photo she secretly took of him sitting quietly in the garden when he had eye problems.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed, kneaded, and twisted.

It turns out that her life was filled with him, only him. Now, she left everything here, taking nothing with her. This is her... silent farewell.

His eyes reddened.

He held that heavy box in his arms. It wasn't its weight, but the weight of twelve years, and her silent love.

His knuckles were white from the strain, the shape of his bones clearly visible. His eyes were moist, feeling like sand rubbing against his eyeballs, or like something tightly constricting them.

Finally, he left the apartment with the box in his arms.

"Fix the door," he ordered in a hoarse voice.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Lin Qi cautiously asked, "Mr. Fu, could it be that Madam has returned to F country? That's the headquarters of Bluebird."

Fu Beichen's eyes sharpened instantly.

"Prepare a special plane," he said immediately. "To Country F."

As night fell, the Bluebird branch of Country A stood out conspicuously.

Lu Lie's eyes were bloodshot as he stormed into the building.

Where is Gu Xingnian?

His voice was hoarse, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.

The branch manager stammered, "President Lu, President Gu... President Gu has never been to the branch in Country A."

Lu Lie grabbed his collar, his eyes dangerous: "You'd better not lie."

The person in charge turned pale with fright: "Really...really no, we...we didn't receive any notification that President Gu was coming back."

Lu Lie panicked for a moment. He picked up the phone and dialed, "Find Gu Xingnian by any means necessary. Make sure she is safe. Be quick! Find out where Chris Mark is and where that madman is."

"yes!"

......

On the other side,

At four o'clock in the morning, Fu Beichen's private jet arrived in Country F. Of course, before leaving Haicheng, he had already arranged for Jiang Kexin to study abroad, and handed over the evidence of Jiang's father's tax evasion and Wang Huilan's instigation of murder to the relevant departments!

Wang Huilan killed his child. How could he not avenge this?

Fu Beichen didn't return to the hotel to rest. He rushed to the headquarters of Qingniao Technology, where the entire building was brightly lit. Lin Qi followed closely behind, not daring to even yawn.

Fu Beichen stood in the center of the hall, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Despite her dark circles, Xia Yuan forced herself to be energetic and greeted him: "President Fu, welcome! I am Xia Yuan, the person in charge of Qingniao."

Fu Beichen's gaze swept over her like an ice blade: "Where is Gu Xingnian?"

Xia Yuan forced a smile: "President Gu is very busy and has not returned to headquarters."

"Where is she?" Fu Beichen's voice was low, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

“I’m sorry, we have no right to inquire about Mr. Gu’s whereabouts.” Xia Yuan maintained a professional smile, her expression impeccable. “However, the authorization documents for the formula to the Fu Group and the cooperation agreement with the foundation are ready.”

Yes, she had everything arranged, so she could leave without any worries.

Fu Beichen's patience ran out. He grabbed Xia Yuan's arm with surprising force, "Tell me! Where is she?!"

Seeing this, Lin Qi quickly stepped forward to stop him: "President Fu, calm down!"

Xia Yuan winced in pain, her expression changing slightly: "President Fu, I'm in a difficult position because of this. I really don't know where President Gu is."

Lin Qi received a message, his expression changed slightly, and he whispered in Fu Beichen's ear: "Lu Lie went to Country A."

Fu Beichen's eyes flickered: "The A country branch?" He then turned to the woman and asked, "Could she be at the A country branch?"

Xia Yuan quickly shook her head, "President Gu isn't at the branch either!"

Fu Beichen's eyes flashed. The woman's confident tone was enough to prove that she knew where the person was!

Fu Beichen released Xia Yuan, his tone icy: "Take me to her office."

Her office, with its minimalist style, was as clean as her personality.

The white lily on the wall is proud and independent.

On his desk, a photograph of a young boy struck him instantly.

That was her bachelor's degree graduation photo.

She smiled brightly and confidently as she stood in front of her alma mater's bulletin board.

On the bulletin board, a photo of him was prominently displayed, with the words "Fu Beichen" written next to it.

That was their only photo together.

Fu Beichen's throat felt like it was blocked by something, dry and uncomfortable.

In the photo, her eyes are shining, full of anticipation for the future.

But he failed to live up to that aspiration.

He picked up the photo and gently stroked her smiling face with his fingertips.

"Niannian, wait for me, don't run too far!"

...

The dawn was just right.

Gu Xingnian pushed open the window, and the salty sea breeze, carrying the unique coolness of the morning, brushed against her face. Before her was an endless expanse of blue, dotted with a few fishing boats sailing in the distance, forming a stunning seascape.

She was in a good mood.

This is a place called "Fengshi Town" in Country F. She is currently being housed in a villa facing the sea, which is considered a safe house.

The villa wasn't large, but it was exquisite and cozy. The yard was filled with vibrant local flowers—red, yellow, and purple—blooming passionately in the morning light.

Fengshi Town is known for its simple and honest folk customs. It is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and its strategic location naturally forms a barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, this place is known as the safest place in Country F.

Since her identity was suddenly revealed, officials from both China and France have shown unprecedented tension.

At this moment, she was the focus of the world's attention, and the shadows lurking in the darkness had already set their sights on her, wishing they could tear her to pieces and devour her.

Meanwhile, in a remote and dark forest, a rotting and hideous face stares at the beautiful face on the video, revealing a depraved smile.

Four years have passed, it's time for all of this to end...

Gu Xingnian's water glass suddenly slipped from her hand, shattering into pieces all over the floor!
