Seeing Dong Siyue's appearance, Ye Qingqing quickly connected the dots and immediately thought of Li Hongming, blurting out, "Has something happened to President Li?"

Dong Siyue, who had been holding on, broke down upon hearing this, squatting on the ground and sobbing uncontrollably like a child.

Zhu Zi was also dumbfounded. He hadn't done anything yet, so why was this woman crying?

Ye Qingqing wasn't in a hurry to ask. She stayed by Dong Siyue's side and let her cry it out. It would be good if she could cry it out and feel better.

It is now confirmed that Li Hongming is the one who had the accident. Li Hongming's health had been poor for several years, and his organ functions were deteriorating. But Ye Qingqing still found it strange. She had prescribed some medicine for Li Hongming to take care of his health. As long as he took the medicine on time, his health could not be restored to its former state, but his daily life was fine. How could he have had an accident so suddenly?

Could it be an accident like a car crash or a plane crash?

Otherwise, Ye Qingqing didn't think her medicine would cause any problems. As long as Li Hongming didn't do anything reckless, he could easily live for another twenty or thirty years.

Ye Qingqing handed over a handkerchief, and Dong Siyue wiped her face haphazardly. After crying her heart out, she calmed down a bit, but she still felt hopeless. In the past, she always thought about getting away from Li Hongming, not wanting to live under his control, and wanting to pursue a free life.

But once she left Li Hongming, she realized that she was useless. No one was there to give her advice, no one was there to guide her, and no one was there to praise her anymore. Her life became a mess, as if she had lost her backbone.

Dong Siyue finally realized that her attachment to Li Hongming was far deeper than she had thought.

Li Hongming built a beautiful and safe castle for her. Before, she only needed to live peacefully in the castle, without having to worry about anything and could do whatever she wanted, except for her legal status. Now that the castle is gone, she no longer has to worry about others calling her a mistress, but she is not happy at all. She doesn't want to accept other men anymore; there is no room left in her heart.

Now... she no longer needs to struggle with this.

“Hongming… he’s gone, Qingqing. I didn’t get to see him one last time, I didn’t even get to see him one last time…” Dong Siyue was in great pain.

Ye Qingqing frowned. "How did he die?"

“He is very ill. His wife won’t let me see him. A few days ago, Secretary Wang secretly took me to see Hongming. He was so thin that he was unrecognizable and could no longer speak. I heard that there is a miracle drug here, but... but we don’t need it now.”

Tears streamed down Dong Siyue's face like pearls from a broken string. She sobbed uncontrollably, her mind filled with the image of Li Hongming, so thin he was barely recognizable. The once energetic and sprightly man was now weaker than an infant. If she could, Dong Siyue would gladly give up the rest of her life to restore his health.

Just like ten years ago, when she was in the abyss, Li Hongming appeared before her like a god, bringing her the only light, and has protected her ever since.

Now she is all alone again, with no relatives left.

"Impossible. As long as he takes my medicine on time, Mr. Li could never have an accident, let alone die. By the way, who told you that Mr. Li died?" Ye Qingqing became suspicious. The infighting in big families is even more sordid than what is shown on TV. Li Hongming's family is considered one of the most prominent in Hong Kong, so naturally, there must be no shortage of sordid things to do.

Dong Siyue was stunned, and murmured, "It was a text message sent to me by Secretary Wang. I received it an hour ago. It said that Hongming has left."
