Chapter 30 I will never let go. I am tired of the world without you. I insist on it for you...
He lowered his head and breathed heavily, as if he was angry and suppressing something.
"Wen Yi," he suddenly looked up, "there are indeed some things I haven't told you during this period. But I haven't lied to you."
She didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
"I've never loved anyone else." He slowly raised his hand and smoothed her hair. "I've only loved you."
She lowered her eyes and asked the question he least wanted to hear: "What about Yi Yi?"
here we go again.
Gu Yifeng turned his head away. He didn't want to answer, at least not at this time.
No matter how you explain it, it seems fake.
It was so fake that he would slam the table when he heard the suspect say that in the interrogation room.
"If you love her so much, why don't you get together with her?" She hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"She..." He was silent for a moment, then gently closed his eyes. "She is no longer in this world."
Wen Yi's face showed no emotion. She patted his shoulder sincerely and said, "My condolences."
Gu Yifeng: ...
That's not really necessary.
She seemed sincere and generous, but Gu Yifeng frowned slightly. This was not the reaction he wanted to see.
He was afraid that she would be unhappy, but also afraid that she didn't care at all.
The calmer she was, the more flustered he became. It felt like there was a fire burning somewhere in his heart, and he anxiously wanted to do something immediately.
He wanted to coax her back, but he didn't know how to start. He really didn't know how to coax people.
Don’t be angry? What if she says “I’m not angry”?
Am I wrong? It was so insincere that he felt it was perfunctory.
After thinking about it, I decided that it would be better to explain the matter clearly as soon as possible so as not to make the little girl feel any more upset.
He carefully chose his words and spoke slowly: "Actually...that happened when I was in high school."
She opened her eyes wide, looking shocked: "You actually..." in high school
Gu Yifeng: ...
See, he said this is hard to explain.
He rubbed his brows and continued, "Actually, Yi Yi and I...have never met."
She was slightly stunned, then covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise: "So... does Yi Yi know that you are in a relationship with Yi Yi?"
Gu Yifeng: ...
He suddenly felt that it would be better not to explain.
He hadn't figured out how to start when he heard Yi say:
"Thank you for telling me about Yi Yi." She lowered her head, her expression gloomy. "Like you said, everyone has their own past and secrets. Compared to telling lies, at least you're honest. Your deep affection for her...isn't wrong at all."
Her nonchalant attitude made him feel uncomfortable. Did she... not like him anymore?
He had always known that the feelings between them were not equal.
She was just beginning to fall in love, or maybe even doing it on a whim, enjoying the feeling of being pampered.
For him, it was a misplaced long-awaited reunion.
He once thought that if he could do it again, he would have enough time for her to slowly fall in love with him.
When the case is over and the storm subsides, he can stay by her side and create memories that belong only to them.
He was not afraid of a momentary misunderstanding. Being angry at least proved that she cared about him.
But what if she no longer cares?
Then what is the meaning of this reunion that he has waited for more than ten years?
"Actually, I really want to say goodbye to you properly." She smiled. "The Investigation Bureau and the Wen family have already fallen out. We are no longer on the same page... I will be returning to the mountain soon, and there will be no chance for us to meet again."
His mind was blank. He looked at her eyes at a loss and said blankly: "What..."
Is she leaving?
Is he going to lose her again?
All kinds of her expressions of crying and laughing flashed through my mind, but they passed by so quickly that nothing could be left behind, as short as a dream.
The cold liquid dripped onto the back of my hand.
Gu Yifeng was stunned for a moment before he realized that those were his own tears.
"Don't cry." She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said softly, "We have only known each other for a few days, there is nothing to be worried about."
How many days?
Yes, they had only known each other for a few days, but every minute and every second he spent with her was engraved in his heart.
How can I let it go?
"Well..." Before she could finish, he suddenly came closer, held her knees with both hands and pulled her closer.
His hot breath puffed on the side of her neck, and the distance between them became dangerous.
"I've had enough of a world without you. I've only held on until now because I'm waiting for you." His lips touched her earlobe, and every word he said was like a vow, "As long as I'm alive, I'll never let you go."
The next second, his kiss pressed hard against her lips, hot and eager.
She was about to push him away when she felt something sticky on her palm.
The wounds on his body were still bleeding, and the smell of blood filled the small car. The overwhelming kisses robbed her of her breath, making her forget to struggle for a moment.
At the moment when she was slightly distracted, she suddenly heard the sound of cloth breaking.
"Hey!" She finally reacted, her eyes wide, "My new clothes!!"
"Compensate you." Gu Yifeng panted and kissed her collarbone, "Compensate you with myself."
As the sky brightened, a black SUV quietly stopped behind Wen Yi and their car.
Inside the car, Gao Yiyuan stared at the constantly shaking car body in front of him and lowered his voice: "Boss, this...isn't the noise a bit too loud?"
"Don't look at it, don't look at it if it's not appropriate." Ni Qianfan awkwardly turned his head away and looked at his watch. "But this is too long. Waiting any longer will delay things."
"Humph." Dai Yiming, who was sitting in the back seat, sneered, "I think you should switch the bodies first. He won't be able to finish this off for a while."
As he spoke, the noise ahead gradually died down.
The car door opened, and Gu Yifeng, disheveled, hurried over. He opened the SUV door and asked, "Where are my things?"
"Here!" Dai Yiming threw the luggage from the back seat to him and glanced him up and down. "Damn! How much blood have you lost? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
With a "bang", Gu Yifeng slammed the car door expressionlessly.
Gao Yiyuan was dumbfounded: "War... is the battle so fierce?"
Ni Qianfan: "..."
Dai Yiming: "Psycho! Madman! Don't ask me to stitch him up later!"
*
The car was in a mess, filled with the ambiguous atmosphere after passion.
"Put on my clothes first." Gu Yifeng wiped her clean carefully and put his shirt on her. His movements were so gentle that they were completely different from before. "I'll buy you new clothes when the store opens."
Wen Yi put on his shirt silently. Beneath the hem, her fair legs were dotted with red marks.
His eyes froze, his Adam's apple rolled, and he forced himself to look away.
"Are they all here?" she asked softly, her voice a little hoarse as she awkwardly straightened her messy hair.
"Yes." Gu Yifeng lowered the car window, and the morning breeze blew away the beauty inside the car. "The funeral procession will pass by here in half an hour. We will proceed according to the plan then."
The bodies from the explosion were secretly transported to a cold chain warehouse of a large supermarket called "Uppacker". It is said that the owner is a friend of Gu Yifeng.
Dai Yiming skillfully set up a temporary autopsy table in the walk-in cold storage.
Ni Qianfan and Gao Yiyuan came in carrying a black body bag and placed the body steadily on the table.
"Professional matters should be left to professionals." Dai Yiming put on a mask and gloves skillfully. "Gu Yifeng, bring me the forensic report."
Gu Yifeng walked over and handed him the document. "Thank you. I owe you a favor and will definitely repay you in the future."
"Oh, come on, don't do that. You don't have the face to do that." He quickly flipped through the autopsy report. "I'm here for my 'friend'."
"Boss, if we quietly go back to Yunchuan and intervene in the case, will the higher-ups find out?" Gao Yiyuan stood at the door of the cold storage with his neck shrunk, exhaling a breath of white air.
"Ye Min will take care of it."
Ni Qianfan asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that she will betray you again?"
Gu Yifeng smiled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "She is a smart person."
"Gu Yifeng, this corpse... doesn't look right?" Dai Yiming's puzzled voice came.
"What's going on?" Gu Yifeng quickly stepped forward to check.
"Look," Dai Yiming pointed at the dead man's teeth and said, "the teeth of the corpse are glowing!"
Due to long-term freezing, the lips of the corpse were tightened, revealing its sharp white teeth, which were emitting a faint light at this moment.
Dai Yiming frowned, reached out to turn off the ceiling light, and took out an ultraviolet flashlight from his tool kit.
"Click"
The purple light came on, and in the darkness, a strange green fluorescence appeared between the dead person's teeth and nails.
"Hold it." Dai Yiming handed the flashlight to Gu Yifeng and quickly scraped the substance on the surface of the teeth with tweezers. "Your autopsy report didn't mention this. It might have been mistaken for dental plaque. But now that the body has been stored, the fluorescence is even more obvious. This means it's not a biodegradable product, but most likely some kind of radioactive residue."
He handed the sample to Gu Yifeng and said, "Immediately find a laboratory with a spectrometer to test it."
Ni Qianfan took the sample and said, "I'll go now."
When he left, Wen Yi happened to change into her new clothes and walked into the freezer.
Gu Yifeng went forward and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Well, let's start." She stood beside the corpse, her fingertips just touching the corpse's twisted arm.
The scene before my eyes suddenly became dark.
When she opened her eyes again, she was holding a Colt pistol. The warmth of the barrel could be felt at her fingertips, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder at the tip of her nose.
She was stunned.
If I remember correctly, I am recalling the memories of the deceased, right?
"You..." A groan suddenly came from under my feet.
She looked down and saw a middle-aged man kneeling in front of her. Dark red blood was gushing out of the bullet hole in his left chest. He made a hoarse sound in his throat, and his bloody right hand suddenly grabbed her trouser leg.
“…I can’t hide it…”
Her heart was shocked.
This deceased person...just killed someone?
I thought he was just a victim, but unexpectedly, he was the perpetrator?
She quickly glanced around, an ordinary office with no windows, and couldn't tell where it was or what time it was.
Haven't found any more clues.
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out again.
The recoil made Wen Yi's palm numb.
Warm liquid splashed onto her hands and dripped through her fingers.
She watched her hands deftly unload the gun and whispered into the miniature microphone on her collar, "It's done."
A deep male voice came from the headset: "Got it, return to headquarters immediately."
The field of vision began to collapse and consciousness gradually withdrew.
She clenched her hands unwillingly.
Too little.
She only saw that the deceased was the murderer, but she didn't know who the victim was.
The truth is like quicksand between fingers. As soon as a little leaks out, the tide of time and space pushes her back to the shore.
The power of retrospection is in retreat.
In the light cube, tens of millions of light cones crisscrossed in front of her, each one a branch in the torrent of time.
When she first awakened, she passively entered random memory fragments.
But now it's different.
She could already see the veins of these light cones and control the direction she entered.
She raised her hand and selected the light cone that had just been retraced. It trembled slightly between her fingers, like a living creature with its throat strangled.
