Chapter 999 A Female Corpse (Part 1)
Anything is possible with a long time. Even Li Jinxing can't say for sure whether he must have Gu Wanqiu's child. His current thoughts cannot guarantee that he will think the same in the future.
But when he imagined the arrival of a child, he hoped very much that he would have a child who looked like Gu Wanqiu.
After all, since Gu Wanqiu's fertilized egg was used, the child born would be somewhat similar to Gu Wanqiu, right?
Time is the best antidote but also the cruelest poison. For example, the person you love most and is most important to you in your life, as time goes by, the face that remains in your memory becomes more and more blurred, and the things that happened together will also be slowly forgotten. When you occasionally think of them, you can't tell whether it was a dream or something that really happened.
He was looking forward to the arrival of the child, which might allow Gu Wanqiu to remain in his memory forever.
But he was powerless to raise the child.
Li Jinxing had never experienced fatherly love, and had no idea how to take care of a child as a father, let alone how to give love to a child.
What's more, he doesn't deserve to have a child now. He has too many enemies around him and is in a tense situation. A child will only bring him danger and will become his weakness.
When He Tian asked that question, he thought about it for a long time, made a lot of mental preparations, and finally made up his mind.
"Wait another five years, and I'll have this child again after five years."
He Tian didn't know what Li Jinxing was thinking during those few tens of seconds of silence. After getting a complete answer, both parties hung up the call.
Zhou Yi was staring at He Tian. He was standing aside. Although he couldn't hear what Li Jinxing said on the phone, he could probably guess something from He Tian's expression and his reply.
He Tian put his phone in his pocket and said to Zhou Yi, "The boss said that we should wait five years before considering whether to have the child."
"For five years, the hospital can store it."
He Tian sighed, "I feel like the boss isn't the type to give up and forget easily. Even though he's not arranging for us to continue looking for Gu Wanqiu, he's still haunted by her. He might even be sitting at his computer in the middle of the night looking for information about her elsewhere."
The more heartless a person seems, the harder it is to let go when he truly falls in love with someone. People always have a love for rare and good things.
Once you have tasted the sweetness of love, who would be willing to give it up and continue to suffer?
How long can a person love someone? One year? Two years? Five years? Ten years?
Li Jinxing had been with Gu Wanqiu for ten years, and how many decades were there in a lifetime? When the fifth year was up, He Tian could guarantee that Li Jinxing would still use Gu Wanqiu's fertilized egg to create a child. If cloning were possible, he might even do something crazy like clone a Gu Wanqiu.
He Tian quickly called the hospital back, said a few words of apology and hung up, then continued to call to carefully preserve the fertilized eggs.
He still couldn't let go of Li Jinxing. Li Jinxing had given him a long vacation, but when he went out to play, his mind was always on Li Jinxing, and he couldn't enjoy himself.
It was a half-month long vacation, and I went out for a week and then came back.
Li Jinxing gave up the search for Gu Wanqiu, but Gong Qing's people continued. He had arranged very few people and the task was difficult, so the search was not as difficult as it was for Li Jinxing's people.
Gong Qing arranged for people to search in nearby cities slowly, one city at a time. As long as he didn't give up, he believed that he would get news of Gu Wanqiu and then slowly find her. This time he would definitely not fall behind Li Jinxing.
I thought that based on Li Jinxing's personality, he would not give up, but who knew that on the second day after Gong Qing was hospitalized, the people on Li Jinxing's side had already given up the search.
If you want to find someone, of course the more people the better. But now Li Jinxing’s people are not looking for him anymore, so three-quarters of the people are missing, and the difficulty has increased a lot.
Gong Qing was stunned when he received the news in the hospital. He thought he was hallucinating or having a mental illness.
He felt that this was totally unlike Li Jinxing's style. Li Jinxing was not the kind of person who would give up easily.
Now he suddenly gave up the search, could it be that... Gong Qing couldn't help but think more, could it be that he found Gu Wanqiu?
That shouldn't be the case. His men are also keeping a close eye on that area. If Li Jinxing's men found it, there would be no way he wouldn't have any news about it.
Although Gong Qing hated the way Li Jinxing treated Gu Wanqiu, he had to admit that Li Jinxing did have deep feelings for Gu Wanqiu.
Then why did he give up now... Did he also think that Gu Wanqiu was dead?
Gong Qing refused to give up. He continued to look for Gu Wanqiu, determined to see her alive or dead.
Gong Qing sent people to search slowly, and a week later, a rotting female corpse was found in a village by the sea.
The islanders who discovered the body quickly called the police, and the news also reached the ears of Li Jinxing and Gong Qing.
The female corpse's body was rotten and her face was blurred, but her clothes were still there, the same clothes that Gu Wanqiu wore when she disappeared on the boat.
It will take time to examine the body, so it cannot be released for the time being. After Li Jinxing got the news, he rushed over immediately. Gong Qing also went there. Gong Qing had just been discharged from the hospital and was not very mobile. His ribs had just been connected, and he was gasping for breath in pain after walking a few steps. He was pushed over in a wheelchair.
Li Jinxing arrived first, took a look and then turned and left.
He Tian also heard the news that a female corpse was found on the beach, and his first reaction was to wonder if it was Gu Wanqiu.
In the past, he was not interested in Gu Wanqiu's life or death, and felt that it was unimportant, but now... he suddenly hoped that Gu Wanqiu was alive. At least if she was alive, Li Jinxing would feel better and not have to suffer.
He Tian came out of curiosity. After all, he had been looking for Gu Wanqiu for so long, and he also wanted to know whether Gu Wanqiu was really dead.
Who knew that when he followed Li Jinxing here, he just took a look from a distance and turned away, with an expressionless face. Just by looking at his face, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
He Tian was confused. He looked at the female corpse and felt that it was very similar to Gu Wanqiu in terms of height, body shape and clothes. He was suspicious and wanted to go over to take a closer look, but he didn't expect Li Jinxing to just leave. He stood there stiffly, not knowing whether to go forward or follow Li Jinxing.
In the end, he didn't go up, but followed Li Jin.
Li Jinxing cared so much about Gu Wanqiu, but now he doesn't care about her. Why should he, an outsider, care?
At this time, it was hard to tell whether Li Jinxing still cared about Gu Wanqiu.
