Lin Yuanyuan claimed she wasn't irrational, but she wasn't willing to give up even the slightest chance of finding Zhou Zhi. She didn't believe Bo Xingzhou's lies; she simply wanted this opportunity. So she hired someone to investigate Bo Xingzhou.
The result was naturally the same as before: nothing was found. However, given Bo Xingzhou's claim to be a "feng shui master," Lin Yuanyuan was half-believing and half-doubting the "master" behind him. Or rather, she preferred to believe that the obstruction of their investigation into Bo Xingzhou was due to "metaphysics," such as barriers or sleight of hand.
Believing she had the truth, Lin Yuanyuan contacted Bo Xingzhou and asked how she could calculate Zhou Zhi's exact location and what price she would have to pay. Bo Xingzhou's response was quite remarkably accurate: "The secret cannot be revealed."
Lin Yuanyuan was so angry that she almost cursed her father on the spot. But then Bo Xingzhou's next words brought her back to reality, "However, if those close to you pray earnestly, perhaps one day you will receive a revelation from heaven."
If this were said to a man or a woman, it would probably mean, "I don't know whether I like you or not, but if you keep being nice to me, maybe one day I'll fall in love with you." This is definitely the statement of a scumbag man/woman.
But at this moment, Lin Yuanyuan had no time to think about it. She only knew that "sincerity is the key to success." As for what constitutes sincerity, wasn't it all up to Bo Xingzhou?
From that day on, Lin Yuanyuan and Bo Xingzhou's interactions became frequent. She frequently showered him with gifts, ranging from cufflinks and brooches to clients and project funding. She viewed it as a gesture of sincerity, hoping that someday, "heaven" would provide clues to Zhou Zhi's whereabouts. But to outsiders, it appeared as if Lin Yuanyuan had fallen in love with Bo Xingzhou and was passionately pursuing him.
Regarding their daughter's "absurd behavior," Lin's parents tried to persuade her, but to no avail, so they just let her go. After all, it was their daughter's own money and her own life, and as a parent, all they needed to do was give her love and respect. Old Master Jing also tried to persuade her, but Lin Yuanyuan's well-reasoned and well-reasoned analysis left him stunned, as if he were the one in the wrong. In the end, it's unclear whether he succeeded in convincing Old Master Jing, but after that, he never asked about Bo Xingzhou again, and his relationship with Lin Yuanyuan no longer held the closeness they had in their childhood.
Naturally, the Zhou family also came to make trouble, and raised reasonable suspicions that Lin Yuanyuan deliberately designed Zhou Zhi to be kidnapped and disappeared just for such a "gigolo", and that she was not qualified to take over Zhou Zhi's inheritance.
Lin Yuanyuan didn't bother to argue with them and simply called the security guards to chase them away. Although the Zhou family didn't make a fuss after that, after going to court, the opposing lawyer kept asking Lin Yuanyuan about her relationship with Bo Xingzhou and whether she had betrayed Zhou Zhi.
Lin Yuanyuan had done nothing wrong, so she argued her case. The ensuing heated exchange of words was predictable, and the courtroom had become a scene of market-like chaos.
Lin Yuanyuan and Bo Xingzhou maintained this abnormal relationship for several years. During this period, Bo Xingzhou also revealed several "divine wills" to Lin Yuanyuan, such as Zhou Zhi was in a very dark place, pitch dark, surrounded by water, and had nowhere to escape. For example, Zhou Zhi's aura was in the southeast direction.
Believing Bo Xingzhou's lies, Lin Yuanyuan actually sent someone to look for him at the place he indicated, but naturally found nothing. Bo Xingzhou explained that the place was hidden in darkness and would be difficult to find in a short time.
Lin Yuanyuan actually believed it, and even felt that her sincerity was not enough, so she continued to give gifts to Bo Xingzhou.
Until Lin Yuanyuan was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer during a physical examination. At that time, the inheritance dispute between Lin Yuanyuan and Zhou's father had come to an end. Lin Yuanyuan was the legal heir to Zhou Zhi's estate, and the company of the two was in the hands of Lin Yuanyuan alone.
Thanks to her hard work in the early years, the company has flourished. Even though Lin Yuanyuan has been somewhat profligate in recent years, the company's growth remains unstoppable. According to Lin Yuanyuan's plan, she will propose an IPO in a few months. Having already gained experience preparing for the previous one, this time it will only be faster.
But she had cancer, early-stage breast cancer with a five-year survival rate of over 90%. Treatment was essential, but this near-death experience made Lin Yuanyuan realize for the first time the fragility of life. She also began to reflect on the past few years: had she lived like a human being?
Once suspicions arise, many previously dismissed details begin to surface like mushrooms after rain. The Zhou family's attitude toward him, the police's conflicting accounts of the kidnappers, Bo Xingzhou's lies, his overt and covert demands for money—all suddenly become complex. And then there's his own obsession with control of the company, and those nights of frantic overtime become a blur.
Everything seemed to have become meaningless.
On the day she received the cancer confirmation report, Lin Yuanyuan locked herself in her room and thought for a day and a night. Finally, she came to the conclusion that she should retire early and go to a beautiful place abroad to recuperate.
Lin Yuanyuan was someone who would do whatever she set her mind to. This daring and adventurous nature had allowed their company to continue to grow even after Zhou Zhi's departure. Having decided to retire, she immediately began arranging matters for the company.
The company would still go public, but the person organizing it would not be her, but someone she had chosen as her own capable person. From then on, she would just be an honorary boss, living off the annual dividends. As for Bo Xingzhou, all ties would be severed.
Lin Yuanyuan's mind was clear as day. Bo Xingzhou was a liar. The talk of feng shui master and divine providence was all nonsense. Only someone as paranoid and obsessed as herself would believe it and fall for his deception.
Because of their past interactions, it really seemed like she had fallen in love with Bo Xingzhou at first sight and then launched a passionate pursuit. The chat records also showed that the gifts Lin Yuanyuan gave were voluntary. It would be almost impossible to sue him for fraud. But Lin Yuanyuan was unwilling to let him go.
