Lin Qingping could sense his guilt and pressed the back of his hand.
She died once...
Now that I've calmed down and think back on it, I'm not so scared anymore.
It's just that I was in danger before and I panicked.
Thinking carefully at this moment, if she really died unfortunately, she would have nothing to be afraid of. She would just be reluctant to leave Gu Juncheng.
Subconsciously, I clasped his hand tightly.
"Gu Juncheng..." She choked up a little, "I feel like I can't live without you..."
She was not very sad when Gu Juncheng sacrificed himself in her previous life.
We never got along, nor did we love each other. In the following decades, I would occasionally think of him, but I just felt regret.
But this life is different. She can't imagine what her life will be like without him. The meaning of her rebirth seems to lie in every day and night with him.
If he is not there, what's the point of letting her live the same life again?
Gu Juncheng picked her up and let her curl up in his arms, his voice trembling slightly, "Lin Qingping, do you know that I have never been afraid, but today..."
He held her tightly.
It was so tight that it seemed like she would disappear if I accidentally let go.
"Gu Juncheng." She whispered in his arms, "I will be careful in the future and protect myself. You too, okay? We both have to be fine, okay?"
"Yes." His promise was brief and firm, but he could never forget the words "I'm sorry". "I'm sorry, Lin Qingping, for always making you suffer when following me."
What does always mean?
Lin Qingping felt that this person spoke strangely.
"Lin Qingping." He called her in a low voice.
"Um?"
He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I was selfish this time."
Lin Qingping was increasingly confused and looked up from his arms, "What are you talking about, Gu Juncheng?"
He stared at her, his eyes slightly downcast, and stroked her hair with his fingers. "I gave you two chances to regret it, remember?"
"Remember...right?" She remembered that she did.
"I'm reluctant to give you a third chance, otherwise, you wouldn't be in danger this time." He frowned, and the fingers that touched her cheek trembled slightly.
Lin Qingping had really recovered. She opened his hand, stared at him and asked, "Gu Juncheng, I'll tell you a secret."
Gu Juncheng's eyes flashed and his brows furrowed even tighter.
"I'm going to die, you know that?" she said seriously.
Gu Juncheng suddenly grabbed her shoulders.
"Maybe seventy years later, or maybe eighty years later..." She shook her head.
Gu Juncheng's tense body relaxed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became both angry and amused.
"Should I lie down in the coffin right now and not live out the rest of my life?" she snorted.
"Don't talk nonsense..." He felt tired as if he had endured too much and couldn't handle this kind of conversation.
"Gu Juncheng." She looked at him seriously, "How can a person stop living because of something unknown?"
This made him laugh, "I'm not as clear as you are."
However, he was really too scared. He was not afraid even when a gun was pointed at his head...
At this moment, the two of them slowly recovered their emotions.
Gu Juncheng began to talk about the whole story.
It turned out that Gu Juncheng suspected that Wen Xiao, the man from Gangcheng, was smuggling cultural relics, and had been assisting the public security organs in the investigation for some time.
Lin Qingping was sweating profusely and said in shock, "Then... I shouldn't have let Zhiyuan go to the Wen family. It was a close call!"
"Yes! It's a pity that I suspected it too late, otherwise I would never have let him go." Gu Juncheng said, "When I was chatting with Elder Wu at the Wu family that night, Elder Wu mentioned that there was a group of people smuggling cultural relics very rampantly recently. They searched for cultural relics from all over the country, especially the capital, and sold them to all parts of the world through Hong Kong."
"How can you be sure it is him?" Lin Qingping remembered that Gu Juncheng had only met this person once.
"Suspicion, intuition." Gu Juncheng said, "You have to believe my intuition. Also, didn't you say that he was covered in gold? I didn't feel it when you said this. When Elder Wu mentioned it, I suddenly remembered that the ring he wore was very different in craftsmanship. I couldn't tell Elder Wu about things that I was not sure about. I only mentioned it to Wu Tianping. He provided clues to the police, and we assisted the police in the investigation. After half a month of investigation, it was almost confirmed. Wu Tianping told his father. Because we found the clues, Elder Wu asked us to follow up to the end."
"I see..." Lin Qingping recalled the conversation between the three people, "You were going to arrest them. They were desperate and couldn't get to the airport or the train station, so they drove on a small road and took me as a hostage. Do you want to use me as a bargaining chip at the critical moment?"
"Well, that should be the case." Gu Juncheng's eyes showed regret again, "Lin Qingping, I didn't protect you well."
here we go again……
"But, I was in the car at that time. Didn't you not recognize me and let the car go? How did you suddenly fall from the sky?" Lin Qingping has always been curious about this question.
"How could I not recognize you?" He stared at her hair, running his fingers through it. "How many times have I wiped your hair? I am an old acquaintance with every strand of your hair. I knew it was you just by looking at the top of your head. However, given the situation at the time, I was very worried that you were threatened by a weapon, so I didn't dare to act rashly."
Lin Qingping was stunned. How could he know this? And he could estimate it clearly! "Then...how did you show up later? They all looked at the back, but there was no car chasing."
He pinched her silly face and said, "I've always been here."
Lin Qingping was stunned again, "Always here?"
"Yeah." He said lightly, "When you guys were refueling, I got under the car."
"What!" Lin Qingping was so shocked that he stood up from his arms, "That's so dangerous!"
"It's not dangerous for me." He said calmly, "I was only worried about you in the car. Fortunately, my guess was correct."
At that time, he was standing outside the car and saw Lin Qingping being controlled. He also saw two people on the left and right of Lin Qingping. The man closer to him was holding Lin Qingping with one hand and putting the other hand on his thigh. This proved that the man from Gangcheng on the other side of Lin Qingping had a weapon in his hand.
That's right, he could tell at a glance that the man wearing a hat and with his collar turned up to cover his face was Wen Xiao's man, but he didn't point it out.
Therefore, he climbed onto the roof and started the attack from the Gangcheng man. His judgment was correct. A dagger flew out of the car together with the Gangcheng man.
I see……
"But why were you waiting at that gas station? Was it such a coincidence?" You know, at that moment, when she heard his voice, she was so excited!
