Chapter 755 Meeting with Fu Jinshen
Li Xiang's voice lowered, filled with helplessness and immense sorrow, "His vital signs eventually disappeared."

As Li Xiang narrated, those words clashed violently and almost destructively with the "truth" in her own memory.

Emotionally, her first reaction was resistance, a self-protective denial.

But reason coldly reminded her that Li Xiang had no reason to lie, especially now that Fu Jinshen was "dead".

Her face gradually turned pale, her fingers unconsciously curled up, her nails digging deep into her palms, causing a slight stinging pain, but it could not dispel the earth-shattering chaos and... sharp pain in her heart.

If... if what Li Xiang said is true...

How should she face him?

“Miss Bai,” Li Xiang said, seeing the dramatic change in her expression, knowing his words had worked. He asked cautiously, his voice hoarse with a hint of sob, “Do you… want to go see President Fu?”

The two men, who had been listening silently and clearly to every word Li Xiang said, now had alarm bells ringing in their hearts.

They then learned that Wanwan's partner in this world had a deep misunderstanding with her, and that the other party had crossed the line between life and death, even at the cost of his own life, just to pursue a slim possibility for Wanwan.

This resolute and profound affection, willing to give everything... made Zhu Xiu feel an unprecedented and immense crisis.

He instinctively gripped Bai Wanwan's hand tightly, so tightly that it caused her a slight pain.

"Wanwan."

He called her name in a low voice, his tone carrying a rare emotion that could almost be described as "unease".

He wanted to take her away immediately, away from all these things that were disturbing her peace of mind. He
She had a strong premonition that if she continued to listen, if she met the other party... they, including herself, might not be as important as that man in Wanwan's heart.

That male has forged an insurmountable emotional monument through death and a pursuit that transcends life and death.

Yin Ze also keenly sensed the danger. He stepped forward and gently reminded her, "Wanwan, we... should go back. Jin Yi, Qiu Rong, Yan Lie, Hua Han, Jiao Yin, and the cubs are all waiting for you in the Beast World."

He tried to use all his family members to wake Wanwan up and let her know that besides that man, she still had them.

Bai Wanwan was jolted awake from her chaotic thoughts by their words.

She turned her head and looked at her two partners beside her.

Zhu Xiu pursed his lips tightly, his eyes churning with complex emotions she had never seen before, and he gripped her hand very firmly.

Yin Ze watched her with worry and vigilance, afraid that she might make some decision.

She sensed their unease and a hint of hidden fear.

A complex mix of warmth and guilt welled up in my heart.

They are the people she wants to spend her life with now and in the future, and she shouldn't make them feel so uneasy.

but……

The newly revealed, revolutionary "truth" acted like a giant magnet, firmly attracting her attention.

If she doesn't figure it out, she will be trapped in this mystery forever, and her complicated feelings for Fu Jinshen (Jinying) will never be clear.

She took a deep breath, her eyes gradually clearing from their initial confusion and struggle, but also becoming more somber.

She grasped Zhu Xiu's hand, which was gripping so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and gently stroked the back of his hand with her thumb, soothingly but without letting go.

“Zhu Xiu, Yin Ze,” her voice was a little hoarse, “there may really be too many, too deep misunderstandings between him and me… Fu Jinshen. These misunderstandings not only concern the past, but also affect… some things in the present.”

She thought of the Ember Shadow of the Beast World, of her previous anger and the ruthless measures she was prepared to take, and her heart tightened.

"I think... I have to figure out what's going on. Otherwise, I'll always have this knot in my heart." She had already made up her mind to go back and activate the system to send Jin Ying far away, out of sight, out of mind.

But now, this so-called "truth" is like a key that has suddenly been inserted into the lock, making her realize that what she thought was a "lock" and the "facts" locked inside may be completely different things.

How could she so cruelly banish Ember Shadow without knowing anything about it?
If what Li Xiang said is true, then it's extremely unfair to him.

Zhu Xiu's heart sank further with her words; his worst fears had come true.

He frowned, almost instinctively wanting to stop her: "Wanwan, don't go, okay?"

Bai Wanwan looked into his eyes, remaining silent without speaking immediately.

For Zhu Xiu, that silence felt like an eternity.

In the end, she slowly shook her head.

"Zhu Xiu," she called his name, her voice soft yet firm, "I have to go. Will you come with me?"

Zhu Xiu let out a long breath, a breath so heavy it seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.

He held her soft little hand even tighter, as if he wanted to imprint his warmth, his strength, and his very existence into her skin and veins.

"Okay." He uttered a single word, his voice low and hoarse, "Then I'll go with you."

Yin Ze looked at their clasped hands, which seemed to be intertwined, and then at Bai Wanwan's heavy yet resolute profile, and understood that the situation was settled.

He sighed silently, stepped forward, and stood on the other side of Bai Wanwan.

He made his stance clear through his actions—wherever she went, he would go with her.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Xiang subconsciously felt that Zhu Xiu was Bai Wanwan's new partner.

A mix of emotions welled up inside me.

If President Fu were still alive, he would be very sad, right?

***

The air on the third underground level seemed to freeze, carrying a bone-chilling cold that isolated them from the surface world.

Bai Wanwan and the two males beside her followed Li Xiang through a heavy metal door requiring multiple identity verifications and a deep passage.

Zhu Xiu and Yin Ze shielded her in the middle, cautiously observing the technologically advanced yet strangely cold facilities around them, their brows never relaxing.

Finally, Li Xiang stopped in front of a heavy alloy door with an observation window.

He took a deep breath and unlocked the last access lock.

“Miss Bai, Mr. Fu is inside.” He stepped aside, his voice echoing in the empty corridor.

Bai Wanwan could barely hear Li Xiang's words at this moment.

Her entire being was captivated by the space inside the door, filled with a chilling white aura.

The door slid open silently, and a blast of even more biting cold air rushed in, making her shiver involuntarily.

Her gaze passed over Li Xiang and landed directly on the figure in the center of the room, quietly resting in a transparent, temperature-controlled ice coffin.
