After Ji Xiuran heard the news of Zhao Ningchu's death, his face remained cold.
"Who are you?"
Obviously, he didn't believe what the other party said.
"Mr. Ji, this is Yucheng People's Hospital..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran hung up the phone.
He doesn't have the patience to listen to what a liar has to say?
Will Zhao Ningchu die?
How is that possible?
Zhao Ningchu, you'd better not get caught by me for the rest of your life.
next day
Ji Xiuran didn't see Su Yang when he came to the company. There was an important meeting today that required Su Yang to attend. How could the meeting be held if he wasn't here?
Ji Xiuran always felt that since Zhao Ningchu ran away, many things had gone wrong.
Even Su Yang, who always puts work first, has begun to slack off recently.
Ji Xiuran took out his cell phone and dialed Su Yang's number with some displeasure.
The phone rang for a long time before the call was answered.
"Su Yang, where are you?"
"Mr. Ji, I'm on my way to Yucheng now."
Ji Xiuran frowned slightly: "Why are you going to Yucheng? There is an important meeting this morning. What if you are not here?"
"Mr. Ji, I have sent all the documents needed for the meeting to Secretary Zhang, and she will contact you."
"Why do you involve Secretary Zhang in this kind of thing? She has never participated in this project before..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Yang said: "Mr. Ji, Gu Ran and I have important matters going to Yucheng, so we really can't attend the meeting."
When Ji Xiuran heard that Gu Ran was following him, he frowned: "What's going on?"
"Gu Ran just received a call saying that his wife died in a car accident, so..."
Ji Xiuran interrupted him directly: "Su Yang, do you believe this trick of a liar?"
"It's not a lie, I called from my wife's cell phone."
"Her phone is always turned off, you..."
"Mr. Ji, it's true. If you don't want me, come and see my wife for the last time."
"Su Yang, you are really going backwards as you live. You believe this kind of trick."
Su Yang sighed and said nothing.
After Ji Xiuran hung up the phone, he stared at it in a daze.
Zhao Ningchu is dead?
How is that possible?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the office. Ji Xiuran retracted his thoughts and his face returned to its previous indifference.
"Enter."
Secretary Zhang walked in and said respectfully: "Mr. Ji, the meeting will start soon."
"Su Yang has given you everything you need?"
"Yes."
"Let's go!"
Ji Xiuran stood up and walked directly to the conference room.
The conference room was already full of people, obviously waiting for him.
Ji Xiuran sat on the chair, feeling restless. What Su Yang said on the phone just now was swirling in his mind.
Zhao Ningchu is dead!
"Mr. Ji~"
Secretary Zhang saw Ji Xiuran in a daze and called him softly, but Ji Xiuran still didn't respond.
The employees who were still reporting on the project started to feel panicked when they saw Ji Xiuran didn't speak.
Could it be that my plan was not done well?
"Mr. Ji~"
Secretary Zhang spoke again, this time she raised her voice.
Ji Xiuran came to his senses: "What's wrong?"
"Director Chen asked you about this project..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran interrupted directly: "That's the end of today's meeting."
After saying that, he stood up suddenly and left the conference room directly.
The employees in the conference room looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, they didn't know what Ji Xiuran meant.
This was the first time Secretary Zhang encountered such a situation. When she saw Ji Xiuran leaving, she quickly packed up her documents and followed Ji Xiuran.
"Mr. Ji..."
Secretary Zhang spoke.
"Secretary Zhang, book me a flight ticket to Yucheng immediately. The earliest flight."
That morning, Ji Xiuran took a flight to Yucheng after ten o'clock.
After getting off the plane, I called Su Yang directly and asked where he was. Because Su Yang was driving, he had just arrived in Yucheng.
"Mr. Ji, we have just arrived at the hospital, please come over and take a last look at my wife!"
Ji Xiuran didn't say anything and directly handed over the phone.
When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Gu Ran lying in Su Yang's arms and crying loudly.
Ji Xiuran frowned, looking unhappy.
"Didn't you say that the person died? Where is the body?"
Ji Xiuran spoke with a cold face.
Hearing this, Gu Ran raised her eyes to look at Ji Xiuran, her eyes filled with hatred.
"You scumbag, what are you doing here? Get out!"
Su Yang quickly calmed Gu Ran's emotions, and then asked the staff to take Ji Xiuran to see Zhao Ningchu.
Ji Xiuran stood in the morgue, completely in a trance.
When the staff saw him standing at the door and refusing to go in, they reminded him: "Sir, my condolences!"
After speaking, Ji Xiuran opened the door of the morgue, raised his eyes, and saw a corpse covered with white cloth.
He stepped forward step by step, the expression on his face still cold.
Even standing here, looking at this cold corpse, Ji Xiuran still didn't believe that it was Zhao Ningchu lying on it.
"Pull the cloth away!"
Ji Xiuran's voice was still cold.
The staff has long been used to life and death, and said in a business-like tone: "Be mentally prepared."
After saying that, he walked forward and pulled away the white cloth.
Underneath the white cloth was a face that was burned beyond recognition. It looked horrifying and disgusting, and it was impossible to recognize its original appearance.
Ji Xiuran said with determination: "This is not her!"
The staff on the side didn’t know what to say?
Ji Xiuran stared at the corpse closely and snorted coldly: "Zhao Ningchu, do you think I can't see through your trick of substituting one thing for another?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ran's roaring voice came from behind: "You scumbag, you have never believed in A Chu. Even if she is dead now, you have never believed in her."
While talking, Gu Ran stepped forward, looked at the corpse in front of her, and suddenly smiled.
"But it's fine now. Ah Chu is finally free from you and she is free."
"This is not her."
Although the original appearance of the corpse in front of him could not be seen, and there were burnt marks all over the body, Ji Xiuran could feel that this was not Zhao Ningchu.
How could Zhao Ningchu die so easily?
"Forget it if you don't believe it. I will take away the relics left by Ah Chu myself!"
Ji Xiuran still said the same thing: "This is not her. Where is the surveillance of the car accident? I want to see the surveillance at that time!"
A staff member on the side said: "The surveillance camera on that stretch of road was damaged! But we asked the car rental staff and looked at the rental company's surveillance camera. It turned out that the deceased got into the car at that time.
There were two bodies in the car at the time, as well as a male.
This female corpse was holding a bag tightly, and all the documents inside the bag could prove her identity.
We also used her mobile phone to call you after seeing the call records."
Ji Xiuran suddenly fell into a trance, staring blankly at the unrecognizable corpse.
Ming Ming was acting coquettishly in front of him before, and Ming Ming said there would be many children between them.
They are all liars.
Gu Ran sniffed and looked at Ji Xiuran: "Ji Xiuran, why didn't you answer the phone at the beginning? If you had answered the phone at that time, maybe..."
After saying that, she could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Su Yang's arms and cried loudly.
"What phone?"
Ji Xiuran asked expressionlessly.
Su Yang saw Gu Ran crying so hard that he answered for her: "When there was a car accident, my wife called you immediately, but you hung up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran directly denied it: "It's impossible, she never called me at all!"
"Mr. Ji, my wife has changed her mobile phone card to a new one. She used the new card to call you!"
Ji Xiuran shook his head: "It's impossible, no!"
This must be Zhao Ningchu's trick, that little girl has the most tricks.
Ji Xiuran took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Ningchu's number, and a mechanized female voice came from the phone.
"Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off..."
Ji Xiuran directly put down the phone and raised the phone in his hand: "Look, her phone is turned off!"
When Gu Ran heard this, she couldn't listen anymore. She jumped in front of Ji Xiuran and questioned him sternly.
"Yesterday, did you receive a call..."
Ji Xiuran thought for a while: "That's a harassing phone call!"
"Shit, that's Ah Chu's mobile phone number. When she applied for the card, she called me."
As he spoke, tears fell down.
Obviously that person said at that time that he would notify me when he settled down.
But why did she wait for such a result?
Gu Ran took out Zhao Ningchu's mobile phone.
"Did you see it? This is Ah Chu's cell phone."
Ji Xiuran glanced at the mobile phone in Gu Ran's hand.
It is indeed Zhao Ningchu's, but what does this mean?
Anyway, it was impossible for him to believe that the person inside belonged to Zhao Ningchu.
Gu Ran took a deep breath and then clicked on the call history on her phone.
"Did you see it? Although the card has been changed, the call records in it are still there!"
Ji Xiuran glanced at it and clearly saw his number on it.
His hands tightened subconsciously.
"What does this prove?"
When Gu Ran heard this, she immediately became angry. She took a deep breath and tried hard to control her emotions.
"Okay, you'd better not believe it for the rest of your life!"
At this time, the staff came up and said: "All the belongings of the deceased are here. You can check them. If they are correct, you can claim the body!"
The word "corpse" seemed to have touched some mechanism in Ji Xiuran's body, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"What did you say? Claim what?"
Ji Xiuran's eyes were locked directly on the staff, as if he were looking at a dead person.
The staff was so frightened that they subconsciously took two steps back.
Gu Ran stepped forward: "I am a friend of the deceased. Her father is hospitalized in Yanjing and cannot come over. I claim her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran suddenly shouted: "No!"
Everyone present was stunned and looked at each other in confusion.
Gu Ran looked at Ji Xiuran and said sarcastically: "Ji Xiuran, when Ah Chu was alive, your Ji family never wanted to see her. You have already divorced. What qualifications do you have to say?"
Ji Xiuran pursed his lips, his expression gloomy and terrifying.
"This is not her!"
Gu Ran snorted coldly: "Yes, forget it if you don't believe it, I will handle Ah Chu's funeral affairs!"
Su Yang on the side looked at the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two and sighed helplessly.
He didn't expect Zhao Ningchu to just say that, and he didn't expect Ji Xiuran to have such an attitude.
"Mr. Ji, this is indeed my wife."
"No, this is not her at all."
After saying that, he left the morgue directly.
He was going to find Yu Bei, who said that Zhao Ningchu was in Yucheng. It had been so long, so there must be news.
After walking out of the morgue, Ji Xiuran dialed Yu Bei's phone number directly.
As soon as the call was connected, he went straight to the point: "Is there any news?"
"Mr. Ji, I just found out and am going to call you!"
When Ji Xiuran heard this, the look on his face relaxed.
He knew how Zhao Ningchu could die so easily. That corpse was not Zhao Ningchu at all. It must have been her way of escaping.
"explain!"
"I found out that my wife rented a car from a rental company and was going to Wuzhen, but..."
Yu Bei hesitated and didn't know what to say.
"But what?"
"I just came out of the rental company and they said my wife was in a car accident."
When Ji Xiuran heard this, his hand holding the phone tightened.
Had a car accident?
How could such a coincidence happen?
At this time, two medical staff came over.
"Have you heard? One corpse, two lives~"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's said to be a car accident!"
"Yes, the woman is still pregnant with the child? If she had rescued people immediately, the car would not have exploded and spontaneously combusted!"
"I heard that the girl is quite good-looking and fair. She said she was traveling to Wuzhen with her boyfriend."
"..."
Ji Xiuran could no longer hear the rest of the words clearly, and the four words "one corpse and two lives" appeared over and over in his head.
"Mr. Ji..."
Yu Bei's anxious voice came from the phone again.
"Mr. Ji, are you still looking for me?"
"Looking for? How to find it?"
For a moment, Yu Bei also fell silent.
Ji Xiuran continued: "They all said she was dead, Yu Bei, do you believe it?"
After a while, Yu Bei finally spoke: "Mr. Ji, please forgive me!"
Ji Xiuran suddenly laughed.
Ha ha ha ha……
Zhao Ningchu, now you are finally free from me, you are free.
Suddenly, Ji Xiuran thought of something, and the expression on his face gradually turned ferocious.
He said to himself: "Even if I die, I will not help you and that wild man Lu Ze!"
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Su Yang's number.
"Su Yang, isn't there another male corpse? Where is it?"
Su Yang didn't expect Ji Xiuran to suddenly care about this matter and hesitated for a while.
"The hospital said that he was claimed by the family of the deceased in the morning!"
Ji Xiuran's face turned stern: "I don't care what method you use, just bring me the body!"
Su Yang was stunned: "Mr. Ji, you... what do you want to do?"
"I want to deal with the body myself. Now go get it for me."
"Mr. Ji, things are already like this, just let it go!"
"I don't want to repeat what I said, I'm going to see the body today!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Thinking of Su Yang's words, Ji Xiuran showed a gloomy smile on his face.
Let go?
Even if he died, he would not let the two of them be together.
On that day, Ji Xiuran stayed directly in Yucheng.
In the afternoon, Su Yang came to the hotel where Ji Xiuran was staying.
"Where's the body?"
Ji Xiuran saw the first words he said.
Su Yang looked at the gloomy man in front of him and shuddered subconsciously.
"Mr. Ji, Lu Ze's body was cremated by his family. Also, my wife's body was cremated at the funeral parlor in Yucheng. Why don't you go and see my wife on her last journey!"
