Chapter 68 I Still Miss Him
His black coat had sharp shoulders. In the morning mist, he put out his fifth cigarette and looked at the search and rescue team that had hurried over.
The leading officer hesitated and said, "The car has been salvaged, but there's no one in it..."
"The driver said he locked the doors before leaving. The strange thing is, if the car was locked and there was no violence against the windows, how did the person disappear?"
"Keep looking!" Si You shouted coldly, extinguished the cigarette between his fingers, and walked towards the middle-aged man not far away.
As soon as the man saw him coming, his legs and feet couldn't help but tremble: "Mr. Si, I didn't know, I didn't know he was your man, no no no, I was confused by the snow for a moment, please be magnanimous and forgive me..."
"Let you go?" A low and cold voice came out from the alpha's thin lips, with a hint of the coolness of mint cigarettes.
He fished a cigarette from his coat pocket and held it casually between his fingers.
The wrist of cold white bone china is like a finely crafted work of art.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously, "Mr. Si, my nephew works at the city hall. Maybe you two know each other. We all—"
"Ah——" The lit cigarette butt was pressed tightly against his mouth.
The driver felt pain but couldn't push away. The two police officers behind him came over and held him down tightly.
"If anything happens to him, you and your son will live like a bunch of idiots for the rest of your life." The poisonous gaze gradually came into view.
The driver's eyes widened, and he felt the urge to urinate. "Si Si Si You, I, I, at most, can only be convicted of hit-and-run and sentenced to several years in prison. You..."
Si You leaned close to his ear, dragging out a lazy tone, seemingly nonchalant, but every word was filled with murderous intent.
"Guess what? Even if I kill you here, will tomorrow's report be about the Si Group CEO killing someone in the street, or a drunk driver falling off a bridge and dying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he moved the cigarette butt that was originally pressing on his face to the driver's wide-open pupils and rolled down hard.
The heart-wrenching scream covered the alpha's muffled smile.
It's okay for it to hurt.
He lives a painful life, so others shouldn't have an easy life either!
"Boss Si, from the moment this happened, we urgently requested support from the neighboring prefectures and cities. Thousands of people have been searching for the body for a week, but there's still no trace of the body... If there really was an accident, the body should have surfaced..."
The officer saw that he was in a bad mood, but he still continued, "We suspect that Mr. Lu... escaped before the car crashed..."
Si You didn't say anything, but touched the pinky ring on his left hand and rubbed it carefully.
Just as the police officer was about to ask him what to do next.
He spoke.
"Don't look for him anymore! It's better if he never comes back!"
The officer paused, his pupils dilated.
The river breeze blew up the snow foam, and the iron chains on the bridge rustled as they hit the surface.
The veins on the alpha's pale knuckles bulged as he forcefully ripped off the pinky ring from his finger and threw it at the bridge behind him, along with those chilling words.
"If he dares to come back through customs, I will shoot him."
A muffled sound of ice breaking could be heard in the distance. The river water, carrying broken ice, hit the bridge piers. The splashing waves instantly condensed into icy mist after coming into contact with the air.
The police officer's expression changed for a moment, and he subconsciously turned around to look for the ring.
But all I saw was the roaring of the river...
When he looked up again, the man in the black coat was walking away. Through the thick snow and fog, the police officer seemed to see a trace of inextricable loneliness in his back.

When Lu Xuan woke up again, he was in the hospital. Seeing people he hadn't seen for many years, he was surprised, and then he felt cold and lonely again.
The system can turn all unreasonable things into reasonable ones. It must be that the system has found ways to send him to Kite.
Kite turned off his phone and explained calmly, "The driver ran the scene, and you inhaled too much smoke, which damaged your throat. Combined with your previous injuries, surgery is the only option."
"The operation was successful. You will be able to speak after resting for a while."
Lu Xuan and Kite returned to the apartment.
Kite is a stock market trader, and it is necessary for him to understand current affairs news every day.
He often watched TV after dinner, and whenever he did, Lu Xuan would come over and sit on the sofa to watch with him.
Always looking forward to seeing that figure.
For half a month... he was completely absent...
An indescribable bitterness surged up into my throat, churning in my heart, cutting into my almost collapsed sanity.
Perhaps sensing his bad mood, Kite switched the channel back to the financial news and asked, "If you want to return home, I can take you back."
He hadn't spoken in so long that when he finally could speak, he couldn't.
He was not in the mood to talk, so he simply stopped talking and shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary.
Kite didn't say anything. He raised his wrist to check the time and reminded her, "It's eleven o'clock. Aren't you going to bed yet?"
When I returned to the room and closed the door, the whole world became quiet.
No one would play games with him, and no one would hold him or coax him to sleep.
Si You is no longer in his world!
Lu Xuan buried his head in the quilt, biting the corner of the quilt tightly to cover up the sourness rising in his throat.
The past interactions between the two of them were like a malfunctioning old television, constantly playing in my mind, freezing, and replaying...
He is obviously very fierce, yet he always gives in to him...
The lights in the dim living room came on again. Lu Xuan found the remote control and switched to the financial channel.
I watched the content last night, and now it’s a rerun.
Let’s take another look, maybe I missed it last night.
The next morning, seeing the person curled up on the sofa and sleeping, Kite frowned deeply.
He is the male protagonist of Long Aotian, who takes the path of decisiveness and killing. He really can't understand Lu Xuan's complicated feelings.
He took a blanket and covered the person, then went out to work.
I am going to short Y stock today.
After reading the financial news persistently for a month, Lu Xuan finally heard Si You's name.
"On January 15th, at 3:00 a.m., a citizen called the police to report a serious fire at the home of Si You, president of Si Group. The fire is estimated to cost tens of millions. Now, let's move the camera to the scene..."
What?
Lu Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the dark house on TV in disbelief.
"The fire was mainly in the bedroom. There are currently no casualties." The reporter smiled kindly at the camera. "Now, let's hand the microphone over to Si You."
"Mr. Si, may I ask what caused the fire in your villa and what you think about the damage caused by the fire?"
As the camera moved, Lu Xuan saw his face, which was always cold and expressionless.
Even his words were cold.
"I burned some of my old friend's things. I couldn't control the fire."
What?
It felt like a date pit was stuck in my throat, making it uncomfortable and painful.
The reporter continued to ask, "Who was it, and why was it burned? Mr. Si, could you please tell us?"
Si You didn't say anything, and Assistant Lin, who was standing in front of the camera, showed his refusal.
Siyou burned their room!
Burned down the room where they lived together!
When this terrifying thought appeared in his mind, it took his breath away in an instant.
The overwhelming feeling of despair almost overwhelmed him. Tears fell uncontrollably and his body was so numb that he couldn't move at all.
"What's wrong?" Kite noticed that something was wrong with him and asked after putting down the newspaper.
Lu Xuan stared at Si You's back as he was surrounded by the crowd and left, choking up and saying, "I want to see a doctor."
