Chapter 1049 He's Gone
Shen Boyan puzzled Qiao Xing, "What's wrong with you?"
For some reason, Shen Boyan seemed very unfamiliar to Qiao Xing at this moment.
She knew that Shen Boyan must have something to say to her, or that he certainly hadn't just brought her here for no reason.
But no matter how Qiao Xing asked, Shen Boyan remained silent.
He pointed to the things he had brought and said, "Eat something, don't go hungry. After you've eaten, take a nap and don't think about anything."
After saying that, he got up and left.
He locked the door again when he left this time.
Qiao Xing wanted to call Qin Ce, but after looking around, she remembered that her phone had been borrowed by Shen Boyan.
Qiao Xing pushed open the window and glanced outside. The room was on the second floor, and given her current condition, jumping down was simply not feasible.
Qiao Xing walked around the room several times, but couldn't find a good way out.
She could only sit dejectedly on the edge of the bed.
I don't know what Shen Boyan is trying to do or why he's locking her up here.
Could it be that he wanted to use her to threaten Qin Ce?
Qiao Xing thought about it again and realized that Shen Boyan didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.
But she couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
Shen Boyan waited for more than an hour, during which time he called Qin Ce.
They said the expert team is already on their way to the hospital.
Shen Boyan didn't believe Qin Ce's words, so to be on the safe side, he called Shen Zhongting, who was in the hospital.
Shen Boyan was relieved when he learned from Shen Zhongting that a medical expert would come to treat Shen Congyao.
But less than an hour after he hung up the phone, Shen Zhongting suddenly called him.
"Boyan, Dad is gone..."
Shen Boyan froze. "What did you say?"
In fact, when Shen Boyan called him, Shen Congyao had already been sent to the emergency room.
Shen Zhongting did indeed receive a call from the so-called medical team at that time.
He thought it was Shen Boyan who made the contact, believing that Shen Congyao might still have a sliver of hope.
But fate is cruel. Not long after he hung up the phone, the doctor came out and announced the bad news to him.
Shen Zhongting always thought that Shen Boyan was busy contacting a better medical team for Shen Congyan.
I have no idea where he is or what he is doing right now.
Shen Zhongting said with a sob in his voice, "Come back first, let's handle Dad's funeral together."
Shen Boyan gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His lips moved slightly as he said with difficulty, "Brother, I can't go back..."
“Boyan…”
Before Shen Zhongting could finish speaking, Shen Boyan hung up the phone.
The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the floor the moment he hung up.
Shen Boyan's eyes were vacant, and his heart seemed numb, as if he felt nothing at all.
It's strange; even though he just lost his father, he doesn't feel any sadness at all.
Has he really become so cold-blooded?
The dropped phone vibrated again.
Shen Boyan slowly looked at his phone; the screen displayed a number he knew very well.
He ignored it, instead getting up and going to the kitchen, where he found a sharp fruit knife.
The fruit knife had an incredibly sharp blade; Shen Boyan could even see a faint, cold, white light emanating from it.
What is he going to do with that knife?
Shen Boyan couldn't help but ask himself this question.
While Qiao Xing was still in the room pondering how to get out, the door suddenly opened.
Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Qiao Xing was inexplicably startled.
She was slightly relieved when she saw that it was Shen Boyan.
Qiao Xing noticed that Shen Boyan's face looked very bad, as if he had encountered something particularly bad.
She spoke softly, "You..."
Qiao Xing had just uttered a single word when Shen Boyan said to her, "Go down and sit with me for a while."
Qiao Xing was taken aback.
She didn't know whether she should go with Shen Boyan.
Her intuition told her that the person in front of her was no longer the Shen Boyan she knew, and that he was in danger.
Shen Boyan smiled. "Why don't you believe me?"
"No."
Qiao Xing felt that her thinking was a bit too narrow-minded. In any case, Shen Boyan hadn't done anything to her so far.
Moreover, she has always believed in Shen Boyan.
Qiao Xing didn't hesitate. "Let's go."
The two went down to the living room.
When he first arrived, Shen Boyan led him directly to the room without saying a word, so Qiao Xing didn't have a chance to ask.
“I remember you don’t live here, this is…”
Shen Boyan said, "This is a house my brother bought for me, but I don't like it, so I don't live in it."
Qiao Xing asked in confusion, "Isn't this place nice? Why don't you like it?"
Shen Boyan seemed amused by her words. He looked at Qiao Xing and said, "Qiao Xing, how come you've always been so naive?"
"Huh?" Qiao Xing was a little taken aback, but what she said was indeed the truth.
Shen Boyan smiled but didn't say anything.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed to have returned to normal, Qiao Xing tentatively asked, "You look so pale, did something happen? Is it about your father?"
A trace of sorrow flashed in Shen Boyan's eyes when Shen Congyao was mentioned.
But it was only fleeting.
He said, "No."
Qiao Xing said, "You always keep things to yourself. Last time, Sheng Yao told me that your father's condition was not good. I originally wanted to go and see him, but I've been too busy these past few days, so I haven't had the time. How exactly is your father?"
Shen Boyan picked up the apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table, then took the sharp fruit knife in his other hand and slowly began to peel the fruit.
He watched the fruit knife circle the apple until it was completely peeled before speaking to Qiao Xing.
"He's gone."
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "What?"
She didn't realize what Shen Boyan meant by "left".
Shen Boyan said, "He passed away half an hour ago."
Qiao Xing was completely petrified and at a loss.
Looking at her expression, Shen Boyan sneered, "Are you curious why I'm still sitting here so calmly even though my father has passed away?"
Qiao Xing wasn't thinking about him; her first thought was to comfort Shen Boyan.
But the words caught in his throat and he couldn't say them. He felt that any words of comfort would be pale and powerless at this moment, because the person was already gone. What was the use of saying those words?
Shen Boyan held the peeled apple but didn't put it down; instead, he continued to peel it with the knife.
As he peeled, he asked Qiao Xing, "Do you think there is true fairness in this world?"
