Regretful Beijing Marriage

Jiang Yining stood frozen in place, her limbs ice-cold.

The words of everyone around me became indistinct.

That's why Fu Huaiyan advised her to stop.

It turns out that he had already investigated the Kyle family back then.

So when did the planning begin?

How early was Qin Zhengtao talking about?

Jiang Yining felt a tightness and pain in her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She struggled to maintain her swaying posture and asked.

"So... he got into this explosion for me?"

"The person who should have been killed in the bombing was me, wasn't I?"

Lu Yunshen stared at the embers of the fire, his eyes filled with bitterness and heaviness.

"Not just today, even without Qin Zhengtao's retaliatory explosion, he never intended to live."

"Once the Kyle family's top kill order is issued, there is no stopping it."

"One failure will lead to countless assassination attempts, which will never stop."

He turned his head to look at the dazed Jiang Yining and said slowly.

"From the moment he confronted the Kyle family head-on and took all the targets of his pursuit upon himself, he foresaw his own fate."

"He risked his life to get involved in this game in order to completely dismantle the Kyle family's foundation and eliminate them from the root."

Xie Xingzhou sighed softly, his tone grave.

"Although He Sze is an illegitimate child, he is still a member of the Kyle family."

"If something happens to him, they will never let it go."

"Ultimately, the root of all grudges is you. Qin Zhengtao wants you dead because of your identity, and He Sze cannot let you live because of your abilities."

"As long as you're still alive, this relentless pursuit will never end."

"Therefore, he had no choice but to use himself as bait and get himself into the trap."

Fu Chengxuan's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.

"Not only are you shocked, but we're only finding out now too."

"My brother didn't tell us anything, and everyone misunderstood him, thinking he was heartless towards you."

"Now I realize that he has always had you in his heart. We were all so wrong."

"yes."

Xie Xingzhou echoed in a low voice.

"Everyone thought he didn't love you; he lied to everyone."

"It was precisely this apparent lack of affection that everyone perceived that completely dispelled Qin Zhengtao's guard, allowing him to smoothly lay out his plan and strike Kyle's vitals."

The air grew heavy and oppressive.

The evening wind was bleak, and no one spoke anymore.

The next second, Jiang Yining snapped back to reality.

She broke free from Shen Sinian's grasp and rushed through the cordon like a madwoman.

They rushed straight towards the still-smoking fire.

"Yining! Don't go! It's dangerous!"

Shen Sinian shouted at him to stop and quickly chased after him.

Jiang Yining ignored everything and repeatedly searched through the ruins with both hands.

"He's been planning this for so long, risking everything to eliminate any future troubles, it's impossible for him to just let things go wrong so easily."

She glanced at the charred, mangled corpses, her eyes showing no hesitation.

"None of these are him."

Those around her, seeing her almost insane behavior, simply assumed she couldn't accept reality.

But at this moment, Jiang Yining was unusually clear-headed.

She remembered that there was a river not far from here.

Fu Huaiyan is meticulous and would never leave himself no way out.

He has a chance of survival.

Jiang Yining turned around and ran wildly towards the riverbank.

Shen Sinian quickly caught up and hugged her tightly from behind.

"Don't get agitated! Calm down!"

"We're here. Everyone will do their best to search and rescue. Don't risk your life!"

"If even you collapse, how can we explain this to Fu Huaiyan?"

Jiang Yining shook her head vigorously, "I know what I'm doing."

She searched carefully along the riverbank, her eyes sharp, not wanting to miss any trace.

No one knows what she's looking for.

A moment later, Jiang Yining stopped in her tracks.

Amidst the jumbled rocks on the riverbank, a red rope covered in mud appeared.

"He's not dead."

Jiang Yining picked up the red rope and pointed her gaze firmly at the river.

"Search downstream; he must have escaped by water. He's still alive!"

Fu Chengxuan was utterly shocked. "How can you be sure? It's just an ordinary red string!"

Jiang Yining clutched the red string, her eyes swirling with complex emotions.

"Because this was a gift from me to him."

When she first found out she was pregnant, she specially went to get a safety rope to pray for him and the baby.

At that time, Fu Huaiyan took it but did not put it on immediately; he simply tossed it aside.

She thought he didn't care, but later she saw that he had carefully kept it in the drawer.

This action led her to believe that he had feelings for her.

Later, the rope disappeared, and their relationship broke down.

Perhaps it was intuition, but Jiang Yining was inexplicably certain that Fu Huaiyan would definitely wear it today.

Fu Chengxuan did not hesitate any longer and immediately cooperated with the police in deploying manpower.

The entire team is conducting a full-scale search and rescue operation along the downstream of the river.

Shen Sinian pulled the exhausted Jiang Yining aside again and gently comforted her.

"Go back and rest first, and conserve your energy."

"We're here. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Jiang Yining knew that staying would be of no help.

But when I got home, I couldn't fall asleep.

My mind is tired, but my body is awake.

The grievances I've suffered over the years are real.

But now someone is telling her it's all fake.

Countless emotions tugged at my heartstrings.

Jiang Yining fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, she woke up from her dream with a cold sweat on her back.

I feel a tightness in my chest.

Jiang Yining got up and went to the living room to pour water, just in time to see Ji Shu hurriedly hang up the phone.

"What's wrong?"

A hint of panic flashed in Ji Shu's eyes as she confessed.

"It's news from the search and rescue team... Fu Huaiyan must be missing."

"He Sze also disappeared along with them."

Jiang Yining's fingertips stiffened slightly, and she remained silent.

Ji Shu quickly tried to comfort him.

"Don't panic too much. The good news is that the core power of the Kyle family has been destroyed, and the remaining forces are no match for them."

"He Sze is all alone now and can't cause any big trouble."

Jiang Yining nodded, remaining silent.

Ji Shu looked at her, not knowing what to say.

Fate really does play tricks on people.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was Zhou Xubai calling.

Jiang Yining composed herself and answered the phone.

"I can find Fu Huaiyan."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yining remained silent, only pursing her lips.

"What are your conditions?"

Zhou Xubai gave a low, bitter laugh.

"So now, in your heart, that's who I am, right?"

"Thank you for your help."

Jiang Yining spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of detachment.

"It's just a friend's gratitude, nothing more."

Zhou Xubai remained silent for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Ningning, marry me."

"I was able to find him immediately; any later and the chances of him dying would have been slim."
