Everyone in the room could sense how important Jian Dan was to Chu Liyuan. Therefore, the more he lost control, the more they did not dare to speakâ¦
However, someone had to be the bearer of bad news.
The highest-ranking man had no choice but to bite the bullet as he slowly stood up and walked toward Chu Liyuan.
âLiyuan, we roughly know where she is. As for the exact location, weâre doing our best to search for her. However, you have to be mentally prepared.â
He did not dare to look into Chu Liyuanâs eyes as he spoke.
âErmâ¦â
âOut with it!â Chu Liyuan forced himself to say.
âWe combed through the surveillance footage of the entire city and found that she was last seen at Jiangqing Bridge (Jiangqing Bridge is a sea bridge). Sheâ¦â He really did not know how to break it to him.
Hearing this, Li Jingâs heart constricted. Could it beâ¦
âWeâre searching in full forceâ¦â
Upon hearing such news, Chu Liyuan felt that he did not even have the strength to stand and staggered. Fortunately, Li Jing happened to be behind him, so he caught Chu Liyuan and saved him from crashing onto the floor.
âSend more men to find her!â Chu Liyuanâs voice was trembling.
As long as I donât see Jian Jianâs⦠I wonât believe that she would leave me like this. I donât believe it. I donât believe it!
The first thing he did was rush to Jiangqing Bridge and join in the search.
It was getting dark, but there was still no sign of Jian Dan.
Just as Chu Liyuan was determined to continue the search into the night despite everyoneâs objections, a piece of news arrivedâ¦
When he arrived, he only saw a corpse that was almost naked with a face that was badly disfigured from injuries. There was no way to tell who that wasâ¦
He clenched his fists tightly. âNo! This canât be Jian Jian. Impossible!â
His heart felt like it was being gnawed on by thousands of ants.
âContinue searching! This canât be Jian Jian. It canât be! Continue searching!â
Even when the body was sent to the cityâs Public Security Bureau, he still refused to give up and continued to search for Jian Dan under Jiangqing Bridgeâ¦
Until⦠the forensic report completely shattered his illusion.
The forensic report confirmed that the body was Jian Dan!
This news was enough to crush Chu Liyuanâ¦
They had also found some surveillance footage of her, but did not dare to tell Chu Liyuan. However, Chu Liyuan eventually found out and forced them to show him the footageâ¦
In the footage, Jian Dan was surrounded by four men. Jian Jian should be able to handle those four men. Even if she couldnât take them all down, she wouldnât be easily caught by them at the very least. But for some reason, Jian Jian suddenly gave up resisting. Before they dragged her into the alley, she said something to cameraâ¦
âZoom in here.â
As per Chu Liyuanâs request, they zoomed in on the scene before Jian Dan was dragged into the alleyâ¦
Chu Liyuan couldnât take it anymore when he saw the footage. After seeing what Jian Dan said, he simplyâ¦
Although there was no audio on the surveillance footage, Jian Danâs lips could be read clearly after they zoomed in on her:
âThis is the harshest punishment Iâm giving you. I want you to live in the abyss of regret for the rest of your life, never to be free!â
After saying that, she even revealed a sweet smileâ¦
That smile pierced Chu Liyuanâs heart deeplyâ¦
Jian Jian, why did you choose such a way to punish me?
Although I said that I would accept any punishment, I really canât accept such a punishment.
Seeing the look of despondency on Chu Liyuanâs face, Li Jing felt an unprecedented fearâ¦
In the next secondâ¦
Chu Liyuan coughed up blood and fell heavily to the floorâ¦
Seeing this, Li Jing was scared out of his wits and immediately rushed Chu Liyuan to the hospital.
It was only when they went to the hospital that he was told that what happened to Chu Liyuan was a physiological reaction to sudden profound grief or agitation.
On the planeâ¦
Ling Xiaoyang looked at Jian Dan beside him. âLittle Jian Dan, youâ¦â
âSigh, have you forgotten? Iâm no longer Jian Dan. Donât call me that anymore.â
âAlright. On the surface, you left that footage for him as revenge on him, but in fact, you wanted to give him a reason to live.â
Jian Dan thought that she had already been very careful, but she did not expect Xiaoyang to see through her intentions.
Make him live in regret for the rest of his life⦠Although it may be a little painful, heâll still be alive at the very leastâ¦
She looked at Xiaoyang and smiled without saying anything.
Goodbyeâ¦
