Chapter 978 Speculation
Li Jinxing spoke in a low and hoarse voice as he calmly analyzed the possibility he mentioned. The more he spoke, the more he felt that it might happen.
Gu Wanqiu is so smart, and someone like her shouldn't die so early.
He thought that Gu Wanqiu should still be hiding in a remote corner, keeping a low profile. She might even disguise herself so that others wouldn't recognize her.
Now that Li Jinxing's identity is not in a good position to go directly to her, she has become even more unscrupulous. In addition, she cleverly avoided the accident, and her name is still on the death list of this accident. It is very likely that she will take advantage of the situation to create information about her own fake death, and then forge a new identity.
Although Gu Wanqiu did not withdraw all the money from her card, the jewelry she bought with the money was enough for her to do many things.
While Li Jinxing was analyzing calmly alone, He Tian frowned and listened quietly. He didn't believe what Li Jinxing said. There were no such coincidences in the world, and Gu Wanqiu didn't seem like such a smart person who could think of so many things.
He still had only one thought, that was that Li Jinxing would give an exact time, whether he wanted a body or a person. He couldn't just keep looking for someone until he could find them. Also, he had to accept the reality that Gu Wanqiu was dead and return to normal as soon as possible.
As if seeing through He Tian's inner thoughts, Li Jinxing said, "Three months, the shortest one month, the longest three months. During this time, go look for Gu Wanqiu. If you can't find her, I will admit that she is dead."
The word "admit" is easier said than done. The crazy look of Li Jinxing just now is still lingering in He Tian's mind, and he feels terrified just thinking about it.
He also felt that Li Jinxing's frequent changes of heart and his broken promises regarding Gu Wanqiu had become a regular occurrence, and He Tian's trust in him was less than 50%.
"Can you really accept that when the time comes, there will be nothing to find?" He Tian asked.
Li Jinxing also asked himself the same question. He was actually not sure if he could fully accept it. Now, his heart ached just thinking about it. He never thought that one day, the influence that Gu Wanqiu brought to him would be so profound, as if poison had penetrated into his bones.
When Li Jinxing was silent, He Tian and Zhou Yi looked at him nervously, waiting for his answer.
He thought seriously, "During the time you were searching, I was slowly accepting the fact that she was dead."
Time will be the best medicine. He will slowly forget about Gu Wanqiu. After he accepts the fact that she is dead, maybe... life will slowly get better.
He Tian nodded and said, "We will look for her carefully in the next three months."
Zhou Yi also sighed: "Boss Li, please take care of the injury on your hand first. I'll go find a doctor."
"No need, I can handle it myself. As for Mrs. Liu, I'll arrange for someone to take good care of her." After saying this, Li Jinxing turned around and went upstairs. He locked himself in the bedroom.
In the bedroom where he and Gu Wanqiu had slept, the blood on his hand had dried and solidified. His ring finger was now numb from the pain. Occasionally, his fingertip would twitch, and the wound would also sting, which would be transmitted along the nerves to his heart.
Nothing had changed in the bedroom. It was still the same as when Gu Wanqiu first lived there. On the bedside table was the birthday message Gu Wanqiu had written for him. Now, it seemed like a curse.
Happy? He seemed to be unable to be happy. Sometimes it was difficult for him to even pull the corners of his lips to make a smile.
When he was alone, his emotions were completely outwardly expressed. He didn't even have the energy to vent them. He just sat blankly against the bed, holding the picture frame in his right hand.
Gu Wanqiu will not die. She is just imitating his previous behavior and faking her death with the help of coincidence. At this moment, she might be hiding in a corner, secretly happy, thinking that she has deceived him. If she knew what he looks like now, she would probably laugh at him for being mean.
He is really mean.
Li Jinxing tried his best to deny that he cared about Gu Wanqiu. He was afraid of her death now, but he just felt it was a pity. Gu Wanqiu was his prey, and it was up to him to kill her or cut her up. Now that she suddenly disappeared, it was normal for him to feel disappointed.
He also refused to admit that his heart ached for her.
If you think about it carefully...his feelings towards Gu Wanqiu were more out of habit. After knowing each other for such a long time, Gu Wanqiu was like a robber who suddenly broke into his world and made him lose a lot of things in an instant.
From childhood to adulthood, his only wish was to dominate Gu Wanqiu, make her obey him, make her obedient, and make her regret what she had done. He had been working towards this goal and thus reached such a height, but now... Gu Wanqiu was gone... Li Jinxing felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something very important, which made him lose his fighting spirit, his direction of effort, and his worldly desires.
It feels like standing on the edge of a cliff, grabbing a hemp rope and climbing up with all your strength, exhausted, with blisters on your fingers, and just when you are about to reach the top, suddenly, someone standing on it cuts the rope in front of you, and you feel the weightlessness of falling heavily from the sky.
Gu Wanqiu was very important to him, and she had been the direction of his efforts.
He loved her, she was his only woman, and he paid a great price for her.
Li Jinxing leaned back, resting his head on the edge of the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. Unconsciously, the corners of his eyes became moist and a tear rolled out.
If people could really deceive themselves, it would be great if they could just deceive themselves.
He wished it was just a dream, but the wound on his ring finger was getting more and more painful.
Such a wound is not that serious for him. Even if he is left alone, it will heal on its own in no time.
Li Jinxing thought he would suffer from insomnia because of this, but unexpectedly, when night fell, he fell asleep in a daze while looking at the starry sky outside.
In his dream, he saw the sea. Gu Wanqiu was wearing a blue dress with a red camellia behind her ear. She walked towards the depths of the sea with her back to him. Her blue dress was soaked by the sea water and stuck tightly to her body. In the dream, she was like a mermaid.
He shouted at her not to go forward, but Gu Wanqiu heard nothing.
It seemed as if there was a barrier separating them. Li Jinxing was frightened and panicked, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. He also ran into the sea, splashing water. Just as he was about to pull Gu Wanqiu, his hand passed through. He woke up from his dream, gasping for breath and covered in cold sweat.
Li Jinxing felt severe pain in his fingers. After turning on the light, he discovered that his ring finger had started bleeding again. It turned out that when he was having a nightmare just now, he unconsciously clenched his hands, causing the wound to tear and bleed again.
