Si Xue bit her lower lip tightly, but was unable to defend herself any more. She had already said everything she needed to say.
"You should go back first." Lu Shiqian glanced at her lightly, "Being here will only remind me of what happened back then."
Si Xue's heart froze and she spoke reluctantly.
"...Then you, have a good rest."
He has already become so indifferent, so how can he stay?
Si Xue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at him hypocritically and said, "Gu Nian will be fine."
"I will always pray for her." Her eyes were "sincere" and she looked like she was really worried about Gu Nian.
After that, she lowered her eyes, picked up the bag next to her and left angrily.
Lu Shiqian didn't care what she said now. He just glanced at the door and looked back at the earrings on the bedside table next to him.
His heart suddenly tightened and he felt a dull pain.
He knows about this earring because it was more than three years ago.
The day of the car accident was Gu Nian's birthday, and he wanted to prepare a gift for her, and after some research he found out about one of Gu Nian's favorite jewelry brands.
The price of that brand is not high and it is positioned as an affordable luxury, but every product they produce is unique.
To qualify for purchase, each buyer needs to contribute one of their most memorable stories.
Lu Shiqian knew that Gu Nian already had earrings, so he thought of giving her another set of necklaces.
He contributed the most profound story that was sealed in his heart, and finally obtained the purchase qualification.
However, the birthday gift he carefully prepared was not given out in the end.
Just like how he felt about her, he had never had the chance to say it out loud after nearly four years of marriage.
After dreaming back at midnight, he would often wonder, what story did she tell in exchange for Gu Nian's pair of earrings?
Will it be about him?
still……
I miss you...
That was the person who was engraved in his heart. Even thinking about it now makes breathing hurt.
Lu Shiqian lay there for a while, but he couldn't wait until the water was finished, so he pulled out the syringe himself, frowned and called Jiang Lin.
"Where are you?"
"Mr. Lu." Jiang Lin had just finished handling the work in his hands and got into the car, "I'm at the company and I'm going to come to the hospital now."
"Um."
Lu Shiqian's expression was indifferent, and his whole aura was colder and more ruthless than before, "You don't need to come to the hospital. I'm taking a taxi to the riverside now. You can go directly there too."
"...Mr. Lu, why don't you take a break?"
Lu Shiqian listened to his words without any concern in his eyes and hung up the phone directly.
He took a taxi and went to the riverside.
The bloodstains on the bridge have been cleaned up, and no trace has been left. There are still police speedboats and boats on the river, still searching with all their strength.
As Lu Shiqian watched, his face became paler little by little, his stern eyebrows wrinkled, and his pupils were darker than before.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here again?"
Captain Chen had obviously gone back and changed his clothes. He was surprised for a moment when he saw him, and said solemnly, "Nothing has been found so far. We guess that the person may have rushed downstream, or maybe..."
No bones remain.
But it would be too hurtful to say such words. It is impossible for a smart person like President Lu to think of various reasons.
"We will definitely find her."
The man's eyebrows were extremely solemn, and his firm words seemed to be making a kind of oath, telling himself that he would not give up until he found someone.
Captain Chen felt a little sad. Who would have thought that the resolute and resolute president of Lu Group could be such an infatuated person in private. It seems that what the gossip media reported has no truth at all.
"We'll try our best," he could only say.
Police resources are limited, so if they can't find it... they have no choice but to give up.
Lu Shiqian turned to look at him and thanked him solemnly: "Please."
After saying that, he walked towards Jiang Lin who was coming from the other side, took off his life jacket, "Let's go downstream and have a look."
Jiang Lin responded. He glanced at his boss's red bloodshot eyes and sickly face. He really didn't know how else to persuade him.
Lu Shiqian was already in the car, his hand casually placed on his forehead, looking worried.
Jiang Lin sighed silently, pulled away the co-pilot and got into the car.
Now he can only pray to find his wife as soon as possible, whether dead or alive... As long as there is a result, Mr. Lu will probably not be like this now.
There is a village on the river downstream. Because there is a shallow water area, there are usually many people playing on the river. However, last night's heavy rain caused the water level in the river to rise, and there were only some fishermen on the river.
Lu Shiqian heard the sound of gurgling water.
"Come find the boat." He turned around and ordered.
Jiang Lin went to find a boat and called some more people. When he came back, he saw Mr. Lu, who was usually aloof and aloof, asking people one by one with photos on his phone.
If other people in the company saw this, their jaws would drop.
Jiang Lin looked at Lu Shiqian and sighed deeply.
Is this despair?
Probably.
When there is no way out, no matter how little hope there is, you don't want to let go. Even though you can't hold on any longer, you still have to muster up your enthusiasm to find the person who has only a one-in-a-ten thousand chance of being alive.
He looked away and asked the salvage team he had found to go search.
Lu Shiqian asked almost everyone he could see, but no one had seen the person in the photo.
Where can she go?
Or is it still in the river?
Lu Shiqian only felt that his eyes were going black for a while, his heart suddenly shrank like Ling Chi, and he felt helpless as if he had been abandoned by the world.
He closed his eyes for a moment to keep himself calm. When he opened them again, he looked calm again, but his cold eyes were intimidating.
The weather is sunny and the air is much better after the rain.
But he had no clue about the person he was looking for.
The sun gradually moved away, and the light on the river gradually turned orange. The search downstream continued for another day, but still found nothing. Even nearby residents were carefully questioned, but there was no progress.
"Mr. Lu..."
Captain Chen looked at him and finally told the truth, "We have almost found the body now, and the chance of recovering the body is very slim... If you still want to continue searching, we can ask the relevant departments to cooperate."
It rained heavily all night yesterday. If the body was really washed downstream, it might have been washed into the Yangtze River...
Lu Shiqian's eyes were cold and indifferent.
"Keep looking."
"Don't worry, this matter involves human lives, and we will definitely investigate to the end."
The latter did not speak and looked indifferently at the salvage team on the river.
Captain Chen wanted to say something else, but in the end it just turned into a sigh.
