Chapter 1004 You are a coward
Gong Qing felt so angry when he saw him like that.
"Li Jinxing, you are a coward!"
Li Jinxing still wanted to take action, he even had the idea of killing Gong Qing here.
Anyway, this is a remote place with so many graves, so we can just bury him in this pit after he is killed.
As soon as this dangerous idea came into mind, the subordinates nearby may have noticed it.
"Boss Li, there is a surveillance camera here. It might be troublesome to deal with it." The subordinate advised in a low voice.
Li Jinxing took a deep breath and didn't do it in the end. Gong Qing was someone Gu Wanqiu cared about. If he really died here, Gu Wanqiu would definitely be even more reluctant to come back if she knew about it.
He was deceiving himself like this.
Seeing Gong Qing trying to stand up, Li Jinxing kicked him to the ground again. He said coldly to Gong Qing, whose face was full of pain, "You are not a good guy either."
He and Gong Qing hated each other, with Gu Wanqiu standing between them. Every time they met, they were thinking about how to kill each other. But now, it was meaningless for them to hate each other or quarrel with each other, after all, the person they loved the most would never come back.
Li Jinxing bent down and picked up the photo of Gu Wanqiu from the mud pile. He wiped it clean with his hands. His technique was gentle and his eyes were full of affection, as if he was wiping more than just a photo.
After picking up the photo, Li Jinxing took his men away.
As for Gong Qing, after they had gone far away, he still sat there, staring at the ruins.
The driver, who had been waiting outside for someone, hadn't seen Gong Qing come out for such a long time. Suddenly, he saw Li Jinxing coming out and immediately felt something was wrong. Everyone knew that Li Jinxing and his boss were sworn enemies. When they met, they either mocked or fought each other. The other party also brought four people with him. If his boss hadn't come out for so long, could it be that...
The driver's heart skipped a beat and he quickly ran in to look for Gong Qing. Seeing that Gong Qing was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief but not completely. After all, Gong Qing was still sitting on the ground and looked seriously injured.
As a driver, he also made mistakes.
The driver wanted to come over to help him, but was pushed away by Gong Qing. Gong Qing endured the pain and slowly stood up from the ground. He staggered to the pile of rubble, but his legs could not support him and he knelt on the ground with a "bang". His fingertips touched the name on the tombstone with trembling hands. Looking at the word "Qiu", his eyes felt like they were pricked by needles and hurt.
His face turned pale and bloodless due to the spasm of his heart, as if it was about to stop.
Gong Qing bit his lower lip until the skin was broken and bleeding, then he let go. Blood flowed from the corners of his lips, looking particularly glaring on his pale face.
There were still Li Jinxing's fingerprints on his neck, and his Adam's apple still hurt. When he opened his mouth to speak, he felt a sharp pain there, and even when he swallowed his saliva, the pain reminded him again and again of his incompetence.
Not only could he not find Gu Wanqiu, he couldn't even build a tomb for her and set up a monument for her. He was no match for Li Jinxing and was suppressed by him in every way.
The driver reluctantly pulled Gong Qing up from the ground. Gong Qing stood up, touched his jacket pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit it with the help of the driver before taking a puff.
He knew that Gu Wanqiu didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Gong Qing never touched cigarettes before, but after he started working, the pressure on him became heavier and the responsibilities on his shoulders became greater, so he had to smoke to relieve the tension.
Whenever he was upset, he would smoke, but he would never finish a whole cigarette.
This time, too, he snuffed out the smoke with his fingertips halfway through inhaling it. He turned stiffly, and the driver followed him, asking anxiously, "Boss Gong, this tomb..."
"Never mind." Just pretend that she is still alive.
Gong Qing coughed softly and covered his mouth with his hand, still smelling a faint scent of smoke on his fingertips.
"I also became the person she hated the most..."
"What?" The driver didn't hear him clearly.
Gong Qing shook his head: "Nothing."
Gong Qing came to Gu Chaodong's grave and looked at the old yellowed photo on the tombstone. The man in the photo was smiling gently with shrewdness in his eyes.
It is said that sons look like their mothers and daughters look like their fathers. This is indeed true. Gu Wanqiu inherited his facial features and has delicate eyebrows and eyes.
Gong Qing: "You must be blaming me for not being able to protect your daughter, right?"
Gong Qing's voice was hoarse and his drooping eyelashes trembled. He didn't cry because he didn't have the qualifications.
The hands on either side of his thighs clenched tightly, gripping them so tightly that his nails dug into the flesh of his palms, causing a faint burning pain.
"I've been looking for her for five years, but there's still no news. How much longer should I keep looking? I once thought she wasn't dead, but later, no matter how high my hopes were, they turned into disappointment. I'm tired of searching... I really tried my best. I wanted to make a home for her near you. It was me who took her away from you that year. I wanted to give her back to you, but you saw that Li Jinxing is a bastard worse than an animal!"
Gong Qing didn't even blink. The wind made his eyes dry and painful, and his vision became increasingly blurred. His face was expressionless, with only his lips moving.
"Perhaps, it's better to destroy this grave... Li Jinxing made me sober up a little. An empty grave is worse than no grave at all." He took a deep breath, "I will continue to look for her. If you are still in heaven, please let your daughter go home safely." After saying this, Gong Qing slowly turned around.
The moment he turned around, he closed his eyes tightly, and the tears hanging in his eye sockets rolled down. He raised his hand and wiped them violently with the back of his hand. The guilt could not be concealed in his red eyes.
After getting in the car, Gong Qing collapsed in the back seat. Seeing that Gong Qing's face was pale and he didn't look well, the driver asked, "Boss Gong, how about I take you to the hospital?"
"No need." Gong Qing rolled down the car window. "Just go home. I'm fine."
Since he said so, the driver couldn't persuade him any further. Gong Qing's house in Haicheng was also in Beicheng, quite close to the Gu family.
It was already seven o'clock when Gong Qing returned. The servants had already prepared dinner. He had no appetite and reluctantly ate a bowl of rice before putting down his chopsticks.
After late autumn, winter is coming. This is the season belonging to Gu late autumn. The leaves of the sycamore trees outside have turned yellow, and the broad leaves on the branches are swaying in the evening breeze.
Haicheng is just Gong Qing's temporary residence, he won't stay here for too long.
Haicheng already has Li Jinxing and there is no room for him. If he wants to stand out, he must find another way and cannot clash with Li Jinxing. They have to compete with each other in different fields.
Gong Qing has also made a lot of achievements and is a well-known figure in this business circle. Unfortunately, he is the same age as Li Jinxing and has always been second to him.
