Chapter 1282 One thing at a time
"You two liars, you liars who teamed up to deceive me... I want to go find Gu Wanqiu, I want to find her..."
What he could not accept even more than his own life being worse than death was that Gu Wanqiu died because of him.
What he thought he was doing right these days turned out to be wrong from the beginning. He was a ridiculous loser from beginning to end.
I remembered how he chained Gu Wanqiu to the head of the bed, forced her to eat leftovers, made her live in a doghouse, didn't let her sleep in a bed, left her lying on the floor in the cold, and watched her beg for mercy with indifference, watched her lose her self-respect, and kneel before him begging him to let her go...
How could he have the heart to do these things to her?
He obviously loves her so much, but he is blinded by hatred and becomes really ignorant and foolish.
"I want to go find her, I want to find her... I want to return her blood to her, I don't want it, I want to tell her that I am not really with Jiang Yun, and Si Yan and Si Xu will choose her... If anyone has to die, it should be me... I don't remember the previous hatred, I want to tell her that her father's death was not my intention, I regret what I did to her, and I don't blame her for my mother's death... It's my own uselessness..." Li Jinxing was spitting blood and talking nonsense. He grabbed Zhou Yi's hand randomly and raised his head tremblingly.
She looked at him with pleading eyes: "Zhou Yi, you must know where Gu Wanqiu is now... Can you take me to find her, please? If you don't want to, just tell me the address and I will drive to find her myself..."
She was unwilling to believe that Gu Wanqiu was beyond cure. Since it was she who saved him by donating blood, he should return the blood in his body to her this time.
How long had it been? If he went faster, there would be a greater chance of saving Gu Wanqiu.
Li Jinxing no longer understood what people were saying. He Tian looked at him with a complicated expression. He had clearly said that Gu Wanqiu was dead.
However, Li Jinxing automatically ignored the word "death". People are like this. They tend to be flamboyant when they are confident, but like to ignore things that are unacceptable.
He Tian was tired. He no longer wanted to play with Li Jinxing like he did ten years ago. Seeing that Li Jinxing was still holding Zhou Yi, he suddenly reached out and pushed Li Jinxing away.
Li Jinxing, who had little strength to begin with, was pushed and hit the table next to him. He sat on the ground along the edge and spat out a mouthful of blood on his leg.
"Boss..." Zhou Yi wanted to help him up, but was grabbed by He Tian.
"That's enough. How long do you want to keep making trouble with him? Li Jinxing, it's been ten years. We've been making trouble with you for this kind of drama ten years ago. Gu Wanqiu is really dead this time. There's no fake corpse. There are records of her body being pushed into the incinerator in the crematorium, and there are surveillance cameras. If you don't believe me, I'll find her ashes and let you do some testing. There's no point in you going to look for her."
He Tian couldn't tolerate it, and Zhou Yi couldn't stop him at all.
He Tian felt that Zhou Yi was right. They had intentionally concealed the whole thing from Li Jinxing, but he was also doing it for Li Jinxing's own good.
Moreover, the cause of the incident was Gu Wanqiu's poisoning. It was only natural that one life should be exchanged for another's. Moreover, it was her own will. Could he be blamed for this?
Li Jinxing looked at him with the eyes of an enemy, without any regard for the brotherhood between them over the years, and forgot who had accompanied him step by step to where he is today.
In terms of time, they spent much more time with him than Gu Wanqiu did.
He knows him better than Gu Wanqiu. In his eyes, is brotherhood really inferior to love?
Is it that in his heart only women are more important? Even if the woman doesn't want him anymore, he still feels that one-sided love is deeper than friendship and family affection?
If this is true, Li Jinxing really disappointed him.
He Tian had a hunch that after today, their relationship would never be the same again.
He would never forget the look Li Jinxing gave him just now. His eyes were red and he stared at him fiercely as if he wanted to kill him.
Li Jinxing cried so hard that his face was covered with tears, as if he had lost his most important treasure. He cried heartbreakingly, his body twitching, he vomited blood, and choked with sobs: "She can't die... I can't accept that she died because of me. I don't accept this kind of life for another life. If she dies, how am I supposed to live for such a long time..." Ten years are already long enough, but there are still many more decades to come. How should he endure?
"How can I live?" He Tian asked back, "How else can I live? When you let her go, weren't you also prepared to leave her and live on your own? We can't be together, can't see each other, so what does it have to do with whether she's dead or alive? Just pretend that what happened today never happened, that she went somewhere far away."
It is easier said than done. He was willing to let Gu Wanqiu go because he blamed her. He blamed her for not getting any results after so many years of hard work, for her cruelty, for taking advantage of their two children, and for her lack of mercy.
But now he knew that all his "resentment" was a mistake from the beginning. Gu Wanqiu did it on purpose. She just wanted him to hate him and let him go on his own initiative so that she could find a quiet place to wait for death.
What he had always been unwilling to accept, he had actually already obtained: Gu Wanqiu loved him.
She loved him more than he could have imagined.
He learned that many things that happened between them were misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, there is no way to go back to the beginning. How could Li Jinxing accept this and how could he bear to let it go?
At this moment, Li Jinxing actually had the thought of wanting to die with her. Thinking of this, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhou Yi wanted to help Li Jinxing, but was grabbed by He Tian.
He knew that no matter how he persuaded Li Jinxing or how many soft words he said, he would not listen, so it was time to take a tough approach.
Doesn't Li Jinxing care about Gu Wanqiu? Then use Gu Wanqiu to threaten him.
He Tian said indifferently: "Don't think about dying anymore. Your life was given by Gu Wanqiu. You are not qualified to commit suicide. Her blood is flowing in your body. Save yourself from vomiting. I know you are in pain now and life is worse than death, but you must live."
This was too cruel for Li Jinxing, but it was also the truth.
He has no right to die, because this life was given by Gu Wanqiu. If he dies now, then everything Gu Wanqiu has done will be wasted.
Although it was cruel, these words were meaningful to Li Jinxing.
Those fragments that were originally intended to be forgotten now quickly emerged in his mind, as if they had turned into bubbles that filled up, forcing him to look at them. These bubbles were like sulfuric acid water. He tried to touch them, but the bubbles were fragile. The sulfuric acid corroded his body, and the pain made his brain twitch and shatter.
The human brain is unpredictable. It is big enough to accommodate all kinds of things, but it can also be small enough to be overwhelmed by just one thing.
"Where is she now..." Li Jinxing groaned and swallowed the blood in his mouth. His throat was filled with the fishy smell of rust.
This is his last bottom line, he must find out where Gu Wanqiu is.
He Tian said, "I don't know. Gu Wanqiu died on her birthday. The next day, I went to Rongcheng. She had already been taken to the crematorium. The nurse who took care of her said that Gu Wanqiu had made a last wish before her death, hoping that her ashes could be taken to Haicheng for burial."
Li Jinxing still refused to accept the fact that Gu Wanqiu was dead. Now he heard He Tian say that Gu Wanqiu died on her birthday.
His heart ached again.
He thought of the nightmare he had. It was clearly just a dream, but now when he thought about it, it seemed as if it had really happened before his eyes.
Gu Wanqiu in the dream was like someone who had been poisoned. She couldn't see, couldn't move, and couldn't hear. No matter how he called her, she couldn't hear him.
He couldn't imagine how Gu Wanqiu spent her last month. She had no relatives around her, not even an acquaintance. In the end, the people who accompanied her through her final period were two people whom she had known for less than two months.
Gu Wanqiu's last wish was to return to Haicheng. Can it be said that she longed to see him before she died?
Li Jinxing said stubbornly, "I want to find her."
This has become his obsession. He must find Gu Wanqiu no matter what, even if it means just a box of ashes.
Seeing that he had taken his words to heart, He Tian looked at Zhou Yi and then breathed a sigh of relief.
It is not difficult to find out where Gu Wanqiu's ashes are. He Tian has Shen Yan's contact information. He just needs to give him a call. If he refuses to tell, he can check his driving records for the past few days. As long as he is in Haicheng, it will be easy to find out.
He Tian was about to check when a bell rang.
The voice came from Li Jinxing's direction. Li Jinxing took out his cell phone from his pocket with trembling hands. It was an unfamiliar number with no notes. Li Jinxing was not in the mood to answer it, but his fingers slid involuntarily and the call was connected.
"Li Jinxing, are you familiar with my voice?" The room was very quiet, and even without the loudspeaker turned on, one could hear it clearly.
He Tian and Zhou Yi both frowned. Although they couldn't tell who it was, they could clearly feel that this person had bad intentions.
Seeing that Li Jinxing didn't say anything, the man sneered and said sarcastically, "Look at my brain. Mr. Li is a forgetful person. You see so many people every day. How can you still remember our old acquaintance from more than ten years ago? Even though you have forgotten, I have always kept you in my heart. Whenever I think of you, my old wound hurts so much."
An old injury from more than ten years ago.
These are two key words. It's no wonder that Li Jinxing has no memory. Over the years, he has offended many people, or they are his enemies. Many of them know his phone number and called to harass and curse him when he was taking his last breath.
Therefore, Li Jinxing never took these people seriously.
If it had no effect on him when he was alive, how could it scare him after he died? He didn't believe in ghosts, but at this moment he longed for ghosts. If there were ghosts in the world, then perhaps he could see Gu Wanqiu.
However, Li Jinxing was somewhat familiar with this voice, but his mind was in a mess now. Enduring the physical pain was enough to torture his spirit, so he had no energy to recall the past.
Who this person is has little impact on him.
Seeing that the other party still wanted to keep him in suspense, Li Jinxing wanted to hang up directly.
Just as he was about to take action, the man said in a shrill voice: "My voice has changed now. I guess... you will never guess that it is me." The next second his voice became fierce.
"My voice was ruined because of you. Because of you, I lost my fertility. I live in pain every day. Every time I feel pain, I will remember what you did to me. It constantly reminds me that I must take revenge on you. Li Jinxing, it doesn't matter if you can't guess it. We will meet soon. Do you want to know how Gu Wanqiu disappeared back then? If you want to know, come to me."
The man laughed a few sarcastic words and the call ended.
He Tian and Zhou Yi's expressions changed. They had already guessed who it was. Apart from Gu Chaodong who died early, the only one who was made infertile by Li Jinxing was Liu Zibo.
Everything fits together. Ten years ago, after Li Jinxing was imprisoned, Liu Zibo secretly hired people from outside to kill Li Jinxing in prison.
Unexpectedly, Li Jinxing successfully escaped from prison by faking his death. Not long after he was released from prison, he ran into Liu Zibo who kidnapped Gu Wanqiu and wanted to rape her. Gu Wanqiu was still pregnant at the time, and in an accident, their first child was lost.
In a fit of rage, Li Jinxing crippled Liu Zibo. Later, when Liu Zibo wanted to go abroad for treatment, Li Jinxing wanted to vent his anger and arranged for someone to kill him in an accident.
Who knew that an accident actually happened, and Gu Wanqiu disappeared in the accident that night.
At that time, they all thought that Liu Zibo was dead, and the chance of Gu Wanqiu surviving was very small. The police had already announced the death information, but they were all refuted by Li Jinxing. Only Li Jinxing did not believe that Gu Wanqiu was dead.
And Gu Wanqiu really didn't die. She disappeared for five years and looked completely different. No one knew what happened in those five years. Even He Tian couldn't find out if he wanted to. All we knew was that she stayed with Gong Qing for the last five years. She was covered in injuries, and went from being disfigured to having plastic surgery, until she became an ordinary person now.
It would have been fine if Gu Wanqiu hadn't died, but what was unexpected was that Liu Zibo was not dead either and was still alive.
So in that accident, Liu Zibo did not get on the boat at all. Maybe he discovered something and took advantage of the accident to successfully escape and took Gu Wanqiu away with him.
Now I finally understand how Gu Wanqiu got those injuries. It was Liu Zibo who wanted to take revenge on Li Jinxing. Since he couldn't take revenge on Li Jinxing, he simply vented his hatred on Gu Wanqiu, causing her to endure five years of inhuman torture.
He hated Li Jinxing so much. He hated Li Jinxing for destroying his body and making him lose his qualifications as a man. He hated Li Jinxing for making him a disabled person. He hated Li Jinxing for not only destroying the Liu family but also wanting to kill him.
The hatred over the years has turned him into a complete madman who is only interested in revenge. He wants to use Gu Wanqiu to make Gong Qing and Li Jinxing kill each other. It would be best if Gong Qing could make Li Jinxing lose everything, but unfortunately Gong Qing is too useless.
He also wanted Gu Wanqiu to kill Li Jinxing out of hatred. Gu Wanqiu did poison him, and it seemed that Li Jinxing was about to die, but who knew that he actually survived. God favored this man so much.
