42 Chapter 40: Her Funeral

“Uncle Sang, how’s Sister Qian?” Wen Xu asked anxiously.

Sang Minglang went up to him. “Dad, what did Qianqian say?”

Sang Pengcheng looked at Shen Hanyu with a complicated gaze. “She didn’t say anything. She just told us not to worry.”

He walked slowly to the bench and sat down. He lowered his head and said no more, looking extremely sad.

The air felt heavy again.

In the middle of the night, the monitoring equipment in the ICU suddenly screamed. Then came the panicked footsteps of the nurse and doctor.

Sang Qianqian was pushed into the emergency room for emergency treatment again. This time, however, she never woke up.

“The stab wound was too close to the patient’s heart. I’m sorry, but we did our best.” When the doctor’s words fell into his ears, every word was like a thunderclap. Shen Hanyu’s heart shook and shattered.

Wen Xu threw himself beside the bed and cried like a child.

Sang Pengcheng’s expression was dazed as he stood there, as if the blow he had suffered was too great. He actually did’t know how to react.

The white cloth covered Sang Qianqian’s shallow face. The girl’s exposed hand was as pale as jade, and there were still needle marks left behind by the infusion.

Shen Hanyu’s hands trembled. He wanted to open the cloth and see her one last time. The emotional Sang Minglang rushed over and shoved him away.

His eyes were red as he said sternly, “Shen Hanyu, you killed my sister. How dare you face her?”

Sang Minglang really hated Shen Hanyu to death.

It was because of him that his sister had that hateful nightmare—the reason why she was bent on leaving Ming City. That was why she died today.

The reason the Sang family had become like this was all because of Shen Hanyu!

Shen Hanyu stood silently and watched as the Sang family and Wen Xu escorted the girl on the hospital bed away.

Something else seemed to have vanished with him.

News of Sang Qianqian’s assassination quickly spread throughout Ming City.

Everyone knew that she didn’t hesitate to protect Shen Hanyu.

The murderer was said to be a fired employee of the Han family’s Kexing Group.

The rise of Phoenix Technology had an important impact on the Han family’s chip industry. Due to this, they had no choice but to reduce their costs and dismiss many employees of the chip project.

This person was also one of the people who had been dismissed. His family background was extremely tough. His parents were sick, and his wife had divorced him. Moreover, his youngest son also had a rare illness and needed a huge sum of money on medical fees every month.

He thought that it was Shen Hanyu who caused him to be fired, so he didn’t hesitate to take revenge on the streets.

—

The nosy media were surprised that Sang Qianqian was willing to die to protect Shen Hanyu.

They began to dig deeper into Sang Qianqian’s relationship with Shen Hanyu.

Sang Qianqian had once given up on studying abroad because of Shen Hanyu. When Sang Qianqian was trapped by the media, Shen Hanyu helped her out. When the Shen family went bankrupt, the Sang family sent 400 million in checks to help them. All of these details were dug out.

The netizens sighed as they watched the show.

The soft and kind young lady of a wealthy family, and the talented young man who had once fallen from grace and later rose to become a rising star in the business world—

What touching and peerless love!

Goodness, it was so good and touching!

Some emotional netizens even cried because of Sang Qianqian’s infatuation. Even Guo Muyang’s eyes welled up when he saw the news.

As an insider, he had personally seen how Sang Qianqian wooed Shen Hanyu and how she was coldly rejected.

However, Sang Qianqian never seemed to give up on liking Shen Hanyu. Sang Qianqian treated Shen Hanyu even better than the rumors on the internet, and he was the only one who knew about this. In fact, even Shen Hanyu himself didn’t know. Although Sang Qianqian had refused to let Guo Muyang tell Shen Hanyu the truth, she was gone now and there was no need to hide those things from Shen Hanyu anymore.

Guo Muyang always remembered that when Sang Qianqian came to visit the company, Shen Hanyu’s attitude towards her was very cold.

Later, Sang Qianqian left and never took the initiative to look for Shen Hanyu again. But Sang Qianqian had come to look for Guo Muyang.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Along with her was a man named Ju Wei.

This person was said to be the secretary of Sang Qianqian’s father.

Ju Wei handed Guo Muyang a list of names. “I’ve spoken to all the companies on these lists. You can all go and chat. They won’t refuse your cooperation.”

Along with this list was a check for a hundred million.

Sang Qianqian said, “Don’t tell Shen Hanyu that I gave you this money. Just find anyone and pretend to be an investor.”

For this reason, Guo Muyang went back and begged his father. Ultimately, he found a person with some assets among his father’s friends and asked him to be a caring investor.

What start-ups needed most was money and clients, and Sang Qianqian had sent both.

Without this 100 million yuan and the support of those customers, it was impossible for the company’s development to be so stable. Shen Hanyu naturally couldn’t focus on developing the second-generation chip in such a short period of time.

“Sang Qianqian was willing to help you like this. Now, in order to protect you, she even lost her life.”

Guo Muyang said solemnly, “Actually, I don’t think there’s a need to investigate the car accident. Hanyu, let’s end the feud with the Sang family.”

Shen Hanyu’s dark eyes were deathly cold.

That angular and determined face was pale and haggard from not sleeping for days. Guo Muyang had no idea that he no longer had a grudge against the Sang family. He had misunderstood the Sang family and Sang Qianqian.

From start to finish, he had been wrong about her.

Sang Qianqian’s funeral was low-key and simple.

The Sang family didn’t invite Shen Hanyu, but Wen Xu called him.

Wen Xu knew best how much effort Sang Qianqian had spent chasing after Shen Hanyu. He had always thought that Sister Qianqian no longer liked Shen Hanyu.

But if she didn’t like him, why would she risk her life to protect him?

Sister Qian liked Shen Hanyu so much. Perhaps, she’d want to see Shen Hanyu at her funeral.

When Shen Hanyu appeared in the cemetery, Sang Minglang’s expression changed slightly. He immediately wanted his bodyguard to stop him.

Sang Pengcheng stopped him. “If he’s willing to come and see Qianqian off, let him.”

When the mournful music sounded, Sang Pengcheng held Sang Qianqian’s urn and gently placed it in the tomb. In the end, he couldn’t help but cry.

The soil covered the urn layer by layer. The marble coffin lid closed completely, burying the last trace of Sang Qianqian left in this world.

Shen Hanyu stood quietly until all the mourners had left.

The wind blew through the cemetery, rustling the leaves.

From twilight to deep night, the figure standing before the tombstone remained motionless.

The first light of dawn penetrated the thin clouds and shone on the girl’s headstone, illuminating her bright smile in the photo.

Shen Hanyu choked. His slender fingers gently caressed the girl’s eyebrows in the photo, and his eyes were filled with gentleness.

‘Sang Qianqian, you liked me briefly… But I’m willing to spend this long life paying you back for liking me.’
