Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 977: Is it a coincidence?
The most sensitive part of the human body's pain nerves is at the fingertips. The fingers are connected to the heart, and this is not just talk. Normally, if you cut a small cut on your fingertips while cutting vegetables, it will hurt for a long time, not to mention that the entire nail is pierced directly. Even if your hand is loosened, the fork is still stuck there, and blood flows along the silver knife and fork onto the marble table.
This scene would make others feel pain, but Li Jinxing actually said lightly, "It doesn't hurt," as if the injured person was not him.
This is understandable. When a person experiences a huge stimulus that cannot be digested by the brain, the entire nerve will slow down, so the pain will have a certain impact, and the pain will not feel so painful for a moment.
But it’s impossible for a person to not feel anything at all, and it’s not like they will faint from the pain.
Li Jinxing was obviously deceiving himself. His eyes were red, his hands were shaking, and the blood was flowing more and more. Zhou Yi didn't dare to touch him, but just stared at him in surprise.
Li Jinxing had already fallen into madness. He tilted his head and looked at his bloody hands, muttering to himself: "It doesn't hurt at all. I am really in a dream. How could Gu Wanqiu die?"
He Tian reacted belatedly and had a complicated expression on his face for a moment: Is this person crazy?
If Li Jinxing goes crazy, what will happen in the future? There are still so many things to do.
He Tian was willing to follow Li Jinxing at that time because Li Jinxing had helped him. Secondly, he saw Li Jinxing's ambition and ability, and wanted to follow him and fight with him, and wanted to stand at the pinnacle of power and money. Li Jinxing did a very good job at the beginning. In just one year, he achieved things that others could not do in several lifetimes. This made him more determined in his choice.
But ever since Gu Wanqiu appeared, Li Jinxing's actions have disappointed him.
As for people...it's inevitable to make mistakes. As long as you can correct them and jump over the pit that caused you to fall, that's enough. But Li Jinxing...he fell once and then fell a second time, and now he can't get up from the pit at all.
Now he is going crazy for an insignificant woman and doing something like "self-abuse". This is too cheap. If he continues to go crazy like this, can't wake up, and can't stand up, He Tian feels that he can't hold on for much longer.
He is also an ambitious man. He calls Li Jinxing "Boss" because he respects him, trusts him, and admires him. But if he continues like this, these things will be worn out sooner or later, and he can't spend his whole life gambling.
Gu Wanqiu's life or death has nothing to do with him. In his opinion, Gu Wanqiu's death is a good thing for Li Jinxing.
A short pain is worse than a long one. Time is the best medicine. Let Li Jinxing accept the reality and let him let go of Gu Wanqiu completely.
What he has to do now is to prevent Li Jinxing from living in the pain of "Gu Wanqiu's death".
This is a gamble. If Li Jinxing can hold on and accept it, he will definitely be more powerful than before. He may become a cold-blooded and extreme egoist. If he can't hold on, he will be a waste trapped by love.
He Tian was more inclined to the former. He felt that Li Jinxing would not be defeated so easily. When he saw Li Jinxing looking at his bloody hand and saying that it didn't hurt, He Tian walked over, picked up the soup on the table and poured it directly at Li Jinxing.
"He Tian——" Zhou Yi wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Fortunately, the soup had been on the stove for a long time and was no longer hot, otherwise it would have burned someone's skin if poured over it.
The soup that Mrs. Liu prepared today was chicken soup with mushrooms. The old hen was roasted before being stewed in the pot. The chicken oil was rich in aroma, and a layer of oil floated on the surface of the soup. She poured it directly on Li Jinxing's face. The mushrooms were all over his head, and his whole body was greasy.
Li Jinxing was awakened by the splash of soup. He looked at He Tian who was still holding the ceramic soup bowl in a daze, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He Tian seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he was no longer afraid of Li Jinxing: "Are you awake now? Do you feel the pain?"
Seeing that Li Jinxing still looked like he had lost his soul, He Tian was so angry that he put down the soup bowl in his hand, walked up to Li Jinxing, and pulled out the silver fork stuck in his ring finger with one hand, causing more blood to flow.
It hurts just looking at it. He Tian turned his eyes away and said in a deep voice, "Boss Li, whether you believe it or not, Gu Wanqiu's death is a fact. You want us to find her body for you, that's fine...but the sea is so vast, are you sure you can find it? The sea is so vast, how much time and energy will it take? The body might have rotted and been eaten by some fish. You can't keep deceiving yourself that she's not dead if you can't find the body, and then waste materials and energy to torment us. Give us a time limit."
"I want to see the person alive or the body dead," this was what Li Jinxing said at the beginning. He just didn't believe that Gu Wanqiu was dead.
Li Jinxing took He Tian's words to heart. He looked at his ring finger. The ring finger on his left hand was where he should have worn a ring, but now the whole finger was stained with blood. His hand was covered in blood, and it was sticky and uncomfortable.
He raised his right hand and wiped his face. His expression changed from panic to calmness. His eyes were dark and his pupils were like two drops of thick ink. He lowered his head and his eyelashes trembled.
He spoke out his thoughts: "I really can't accept the fact that Gu Wanqiu is dead. She wanted to escape from me from the beginning. After she was sure that I was not dead, the first thing she did was to run away and make arrangements for her future. Gu Wanqiu was a coward who was afraid of death. She was proud and conceited, but also smart. I can fake my death and deceive everyone, so why can't she? This time she may have deliberately created a false impression to coax me, so that she can live in peace in the future. How can I fulfill her wish!" Li Jinxing gritted his teeth, his voice fierce.
"Fake death?" It's not impossible, but...
"But she doesn't need to drag a whole boatload of people into a show to sacrifice their lives for her."
"Are you sure she got on the boat?" Li Jinxing asked.
He Tian replied, "We have Gu Wanqiu's ticket, and the surrounding surveillance cameras also saw her figure. She did board the ship."
"What can the ticket receipt prove? You can buy a ticket but not get on the boat, and you can get off the boat secretly even if you get on. You can see her on the monitor, and she can also think of this. Maybe all this is an illusion..." The pain in his fingers made him more and more sober, and his mind began to become more flexible.
Maybe Gu Wanqiu just wanted to give them the illusion that she was on board and moved to another place midway. Who knew that the ship had an accident and now no one on the ship survived, and she was also on the death list.
Gu Wanqiu wanted to avoid him and didn't plan to fake her death from the beginning. As a result, she encountered an accident.
Coincidence cannot be explained in a few words.
Of course, this is just Li Jinxing's guess. No one can tell what the truth of the matter is.
