Chapter 975 Gu Wanqiu is dead
August 1st was Li Jinxing's birthday, and several things happened on that day.
The first thing is that he has started preparing for in vitro fertilization and has found two mothers. I believe that he will have two children and become a father soon.
This was a happy event, as expected, and the process went very smoothly.
He Tian also brought news about Gu Wanqiu that day. He and Zhou Yi rushed into the manor. It was not yet twelve o'clock and it was lunch time.
Mrs. Liu prepared three home-cooked dishes, all of which were specially ordered by Li Jinxing, and all of them were Gu Wanqiu's favorites.
Li Jinxing ate the dishes on the plate and tasted every one of them. He didn't understand why Gu Wanqiu relied on Mrs. Liu. He sincerely felt that the food cooked by Mrs. Liu was not as good as his, and the taste of the food was a little salty.
He Tian came in hurriedly. He had been busy looking for Gu Wanqiu these days. He usually wouldn't come here unless it was something very important.
Li Jinxing calmly drank a sip of water and looked at He Tian who was panting. Even Zhou Yi beside him had a deep frown on his face, as if something bad had happened.
"What's wrong? Why are you rushing in so hastily? Have you had lunch? Do you want to sit down and eat with us?"
He Tian didn't know whether he should tell Li Jinxing the news. He was afraid that Li Jinxing would lose his appetite after hearing it.
"I..." He Tian's legs were shaking slightly. People who knew him would know that he was very nervous and was hesitant about something.
"Just say what you want to say! Don't just stand there shaking your legs."
He didn't want to shake his legs, but he couldn't control it. He Tian looked at Zhou Yi and said, "You should say it." He threw the blame quickly.
Zhou Yi, who was usually taciturn, continued to speak, and Li Jinxing put down the cup in his hand.
The fact that He Tian was so hesitant and speechless meant that what he was going to say next was quite serious.
Zhou Yi also had a serious expression on his face. After organizing his words in his mind, he said, "Boss Li, we've found Miss Gu."
Found it? This is a good thing. Before he could say anything, Li Jinxing saw that Zhou Yi's expression was still serious. He knew them very well and knew that the matter was not over yet.
The atmosphere around them was tense, and Li Jinxing suddenly became worried: "Where is she? How is she now?"
Mrs. Liu, who was busy in the kitchen, also pricked up her ears when she heard this.
If Gu Wanqiu is found, then she can get out of here, but if she leaves, what will happen to Gu Wanqiu? Will she be locked up here and not allowed to go out like she has been these past few days?
Mrs. Liu was worried. She wiped the dishes with a tablecloth, tiptoed to the kitchen door, and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Zhou Yi's throat was blocked. Better to suffer a short pain than a long one, to cut the Gordian knot quickly. He spoke directly in one breath: "Boss Li, news has come from J City. The ship Miss Gu was on had an accident last night. It encountered a storm and hit a reef, causing the ship to break apart. All the people on board fell into the sea. We are currently sending people to search and rescue, but the number of people rescued has been zero. No one survived."
"Bang——" With a loud noise, something broke.
Mrs. Liu was holding a tablecloth in her hand, and the bowl that she had just held in her right hand had fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces. She lowered her head in a daze and felt that her heart was broken like the bowl.
Before her brain could react, tears started to flow.
What happens when a person experiences intense stimulation or faces unexpected situations? Li Jinxing always thought he was calm enough, able to remain calm and fearless no matter what he faced. Even in unexpected situations, even if he couldn't resolve them perfectly in time, he wouldn't lose control of his brain and body like he did now.
The brain that has been thinking a lot and considering all kinds of things for years is now like an aging computer. The host is damaged, the screen becomes stuck and finally goes black.
For the first time, he didn't know what to do next.
He even thought about escaping, pretending that he hadn't heard or seen anything, pretending that none of this had happened.
As long as you don't look for Gu Wanqiu and there is no news from her, Gu Wanqiu will not die.
His body belatedly stood up. Why did he have to stand up? His brain couldn't even register a response. His body stumbled uncontrollably. His hand on the table accidentally knocked over the half-full glass of water. The water flowed all over the table and soaked his sleeves.
He Tian and Zhou Yi looked at Li Jinxing worriedly, afraid that he would lose control in the next second.
His brain sensed the crisis, his entire scalp tensed up, and he tried to warn Li Jinxing not to ask any further questions, but his mouth was still out of control.
Li Jinxing's face was grim, his throat hoarse, and he asked in a heavy voice, "What did you say? Say it again?!"
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists as he lay at his sides. "Boss Li, Miss Gu is dead... Please accept the reality and remain inconsolable..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the person in front of him flash and rush in front of him. Then his collar tightened, and Li Jinxing had already come over and grabbed his collar fiercely like a wolf.
"Fuck your condolences, accept the reality! I won't accept it! How could Gu Wanqiu die? Tell me, how could she die? What do you mean by no one survived? Why do you say she's dead when you haven't found her? I want to see her alive! If she's dead, I want to see her body. If I don't see the body in one day, it means she's not dead!"
Li Jinxing's eyes were bloodshot, his temples were throbbing with pain, and veins on his neck were bulging. He gathered all the strength in his body and grasped Zhou Yi's collar tightly, with an imposing aura that was as overwhelming as a mountain.
Zhou Yi felt as if his neck was wrapped by a hemp rope, making it difficult for him to breathe. He Tian, who was standing beside him, reacted quickly and hurriedly grabbed Li Jinxing's wrist.
"Boss, let go quickly. If you pull any further, someone will die. Don't blame Zhou Yi for Gu Wanqiu's death. What does he have to do with her? That woman treated you badly, so it doesn't matter whether she's dead or alive."
Li Jinxing glared at him: "How many times do I have to say it, Gu Wanqiu is not dead! She is not dead!" He roared like a beast in dire straits, and at this moment he grabbed Zhou Yi's collar, as if grasping the last straw of life.
He hoped that Zhou Yi and He Tian would take back their words, and even more so that they would agree with what he said.
This was not the first time that Li Jinxing had a bad temper. He also had the feeling of losing control, but it was different each time. During the nine years he was with Gu Wanqiu, he restrained himself in every way. The first time he lost control after becoming an adult was when he was on that night boat and he gradually took over Gu Wanqiu.
That loss of control was a beautiful experience, something I can reminisce about from time to time.
The second time he lost control was in Country M. When he met Gu Wanqiu again and brought her back, it was no different from the first time.
The real emotional change happened in the cemetery. When Gu Wanqiu got into an accident and both her hands were disabled and she was sent to the hospital, he signed the surgical agreements one by one and watched the doctors performing the rescue.
That time, he felt panicky and out of control. For the first time in his life, he felt that he had made a wrong move. It was also that time that he felt that he had always been accustomed to Gu Wanqiu and could not live without her.
After years of planning, he thought he was the hunter, but he didn't know that he would be the prey in the end.
And this time... when he heard that Gu Wanqiu was dead, that panicky feeling of being out of control came over him again. He was afraid of this feeling, as if he had slipped and fallen into a bottomless abyss. The feeling of weightlessness in his body made his scalp numb, and he couldn't think. Even his breathing became weak. His steady heart seemed to be instantly raised to his throat, beating violently, pressing down on the root of his tongue, and swallowing saliva was a tearing pain.
In a short time, less than a minute, Li Jinxing's calm eyes were already wrapped in red bloodshot, and his dark pupils seemed to be surrounded by blood-stained thorns.
Li Jinxing's current appearance is too terrifying.
He Tian didn't want to face Li Jinxing like this. Li Jinxing like this was no different from a devil who had just crawled out of hell, but for Zhou Yi, he had to face him.
He would not lie to Li Jinxing, so no matter what Li Jinxing said, he would only tell Li Jinxing everything he knew: "Boss Li, Gu Wanqiu is really dead."
