The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.
Chapter 756 She wants to go immediately
Chapter 756 She needs to go back immediately
As if pulled by invisible threads, she walked stiffly step by step toward the ice coffin.
The soles of the shoes struck the gleaming metal floor, producing a hollow, soft sound that was amplified infinitely in the deathly silence of the space.
The man in the ice coffin was dressed in simple white clothes, his face calm, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
But that face was much paler and thinner than the last time she remembered seeing Fu Jinshen.
A lingering weariness and melancholy seemed to remain between his once handsome and dashing brows, a feeling that had not completely dissipated even in his "slumber".
He lay there quietly, devoid of the ruthless decisiveness he displayed in the business world, and the aloof composure he displayed in public; only a fragile stillness remained.
Li Xiang walked beside her, his voice low but each word striking her heart clearly: "If President Fu hadn't come to find you personally, he wouldn't have died so young..."
Bai Wanwan's fingertips touched the cold surface of the ice coffin, causing her to flinch slightly.
She looked at the person inside, her throat feeling like it was blocked. After a long while, she finally heard her own dry voice ask, "What...what's his condition now? Is he already lifeless?"
Li Xiang took a deep breath of the cold air, his voice filled with barely suppressed sorrow, "President Fu... he knew that his energy reserves were severely depleted and the chances of a successful time travel were extremely slim. But he still chose to activate it. And he couldn't come back. His vital signs weakened day by day until he completely lost them."
Li Xiang's words were like a rusty, dull knife, tearing at her heart.
It wasn't a sharp pain, but a dull, lingering pain that almost suffocated her.
I feel heavy-hearted for everything Fu Jinshen silently bears, and even more so for the tragic ending of being separated by life and death.
Although she knew that Fu Jinshen was currently living in Jinying's body, she didn't know how long Fu Jinshen would exist, or whether he would disappear one day.
Li Xiang continued, "I thought that if future technology develops to a certain point, perhaps there would still be a possibility of restoring life. So, I took it upon myself to use the permissions and resources he left behind to preserve his body to the greatest extent possible."
"Assistant Li, thank you."
At that moment, she was truly grateful to Li Xiang.
If it weren't for his persistence, given her misunderstanding and hatred towards Fu Jinshen, she might have missed him for the rest of her life.
Bai Wanwan's gaze never left the haggard face in the ice coffin; her mind was a jumbled mess.
When Li Xiang saw that her face was so pale it was almost transparent, he breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Bai's misunderstanding of President Fu had finally been cleared up, right?
His gaze fell on the ice coffin: "President Fu, thank you for your guidance over the years. This is all I can do for you."
“Ms. Bai, if you need more objective evidence… you can take a look for yourself. His public schedule and news reports over the past few years are available online. Although most of the truth has been covered up, some traces cannot be erased.”
Bai Wanwan looked up. Yes, she could search online for clues about Fu Jinshen's life over the past few years.
She wanted to know how he had been doing these past few years.
To her surprise, the moment she moved, two warm and strong hands grasped her cold hands at the same time.
Zhu Xiu's palm was burning hot, with a masculine heat that almost scorched her cool skin.
His brows were furrowed, and a storm raged in the depths of his eyes.
An unprecedented and intense sense of crisis gripped his heart.
He understood, and he saw it all. This male lying in the ice coffin had done so much for Wanwan.
That kind of silent, destructive sacrifice transcended life and death, so heavy that it shocked and unsettled him.
Deep down, there was a strong premonition that if the misunderstanding between Wanwan and Jinying were resolved, those of them who came later would probably really... have to step aside.
Although Yin Ze did not speak, his expression was no different from Zhu Xiu's; he too sensed the danger.
Feeling the warmth and strength from her palm, Bai Wanwan turned her head to look at her two companions beside her, forcing a smile. "I...I need a definite answer. You...wait for me." With that, she gently but firmly withdrew her hand and walked towards the computer.
Having been back in this world for so many days, she has no cell phone or computer, and like a time traveler, she briefly lingers in her past.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to touch upon and search for everything about Fu Jinshen after she "left".
The screen lit up, its cold light reflecting on her pale face.
She operated the keyboard awkwardly, typing in that name that was once so familiar, but now felt heavy as she typed it.
A deluge of old news flooded the screen like a tidal wave, bearing the marks of time, yet every word felt like a red-hot needle piercing her eyes.
"The engagement between Fu Jinshen, president of the Fu Group, and the eldest daughter of the Bai family has been officially dissolved, plunging the Fu Group into a new round of turmoil?"
"Business tycoon Fu Jinshen was hospitalized again due to stomach problems; his emaciated appearance has raised concerns."
Fu Jinshen privately established the "Wanwan" Charity Foundation, focusing on helping orphaned children, seemingly in memory of his deceased lover.
Fu Jinshen, the head of the Fu Group, secretly got married. The identity of the bride remains a mystery, but she is said to be his girlfriend of many years.
"The untimely death of Fu Jinshen, former president of the Fu Group, marks the end of a business legend, and the question of who will inherit his estate has drawn attention."
.........
Each headline, each accompanying image, some blurry and some clear, along with the speculations and sighs implied between the lines… silently pieced together a picture completely different from the heartless, fickle, and calculating Fu Jinshen she remembered.
The painting depicts a man whose soul seems to have been ripped away after losing her. He fights even more fiercely in the business world, clearing obstacles, while simultaneously wallowing in endless pain and obsessive madness.
Every word she uttered was impacting and dismantling the hatred that had sustained her for the past few years.
It turns out that what she thought was letting go was a protective umbrella he was willing to destroy himself to hold up for her; what she thought was betrayal was a testament to his protection and loyalty written in a more tragic way.
"Snapped!"
She slammed the laptop screen shut, as if the bright light had burned her eyes.
My chest heaved violently, and my vision blurred.
She wants to go back now!
She wants to return to the Beast World and ask Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) in person, to hear him tell her what has happened in the past few years.
"I am leaving."
She suddenly stood up, her movements so hurried and agitated that she stumbled and nearly knocked over the chair.
"Miss Bai!" Li Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, blocking the doorway. "You already know the truth! President Fu... he really never let you down! He just... he just used the wrong methods. He loved you too deeply and was too afraid of you getting hurt, which led him step by step to this irreversible outcome!"
Bai Wanwan stopped, but did not turn around.
She had her back to the ice coffin, to Li Xiang, and also to Zhu Xiu and Yin Ze.
She squeezed her eyes shut, forcibly suppressing the surging, sour, and hot tears welling up in her eyes.
"Ah."
