Chapter 62: Have You Come to See If He's Dead?

Xu Suian was shoved into the front passenger seat of a van, while Shen Zhiwei left separately.

Following closely behind, Qiao Xu got into another vehicle and shouted with a tearful, cracking voice, "Go after them! I don't need anyone to protect me."

"I'm begging you, save him! Please save him!"

The team leader instructed one of the men to take Qiao Xu to Si Shen while the others pursued the van carrying Xu Suian.

In a daze, Qiao Xu’s hands shook uncontrollably as she called Chang Yi.

Brought to He Yanxun’s company, Qiao Xu collapsed to her knees before him like a walking corpse. "Director He, I’m begging you, save him."

Si Shen stood by the window making a phone call, and he heard He Yanxun say through gritted teeth, "Qiao Xu, you damn jinx. Nothing good ever happens to him whenever he meets you."

"Ah-Xun," Si Shen said in a cold voice. "Miss Qiao, please get up. If Xiao An sees this, he’ll throw a fit again."

"My bodyguards are already tailing the vehicle and negotiating with the abductor. If it’s just about money, that’s easy to handle."

"If it’s about his life..."

Si Shen trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished. Qiao Xu slowly stood up. "I understand."

"Qiao Xu, your love for him is not even worth mentioning compared to his for you."

Si Shen left. Ignoring Qiao Xu entirely, He Yanxun published all the criminal information regarding Shen Zhiwei that he had previously gathered and reported the case to the police.

Among the documents was the medical record of Qiao Xu’s father’s surgery.

There were also records of his subsequent chemotherapy treatments.

He Yanxun tossed his phone onto the desk. "Look for yourself."

Qiao Xu picked up the phone and scrolled through it. The screen was filled with evidence of Shen Zhiwei bribing doctors and nurses four years ago, as well as proof that Shen Zhao had tampered with her father's postoperative care.

After a long silence, Qiao Xu put the phone back on the desk. "Thank you, Director He."

She turned and left, taking the car keys from the pocket of Xu Suian’s suit jacket.

And...

A bracelet.

It was the one she had lost.

Inside a sealed plastic bag was also a repair receipt from that very afternoon.

So he had gone to get her bracelet repaired today.

As Qiao Xu descended in the elevator, she kept calling Xu Suian.

"Answer the phone, please answer..."

Even though she knew the chances of him picking up were slim, she still dialed again and again.

Not long after she got into her car, after dozens of attempts, the call finally went through.

At that moment, Xu Suian was enduring excruciating pain while desperately fighting to control the van whose brakes had failed.

"Ah-Suan, where are you? Are you alright?"

Xu Suian’s face was pale as he looked at the man he had kicked unconscious slumped against the door, and then down at his own abdomen, where blood was continuously flowing from a deep wound.

"I'm fine, Qiaoqiao. I'll be home soon."

The vehicle’s speed had been locked at a hundred and twenty kilometers per hour. Jumping out at this speed would likely result in being smashed to pulp.

"Babe, your bracelet was found, and I had it fixed for you. It's right in my suit jacket pocket."

Chang Yi and Si Shen’s bodyguards caught up, driving alongside his vehicle. "Brother! Stop the car! The fuel tank is leaking!"

Qiao Xu started her car and drove forward blindly, having no idea where to find him.

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up and take you home," she said, her voice laced with tears.

Meanwhile, Chang Yi, having finally caught up to Xu Suian, was frantic with anxiety, not daring to ram his car.

The speed was simply too fast, and the van felt as though it was about to shake apart at any second.

"Xu Suian, answer me!"

The man on the other end of the line chuckled softly. "Qiaoqiao, if you can't hold on any longer, stop loving me. Do you hear me?"

Beep, beep, beep...

"Xu Suian!" Qiao Xu screamed. When she called back, no one answered.

The traffic on the overpass wasn't heavy; otherwise, they would have been sent flying by this speed long ago.

The gambler whom Xu Suian had knocked unconscious slowly regained consciousness. Coming to his senses, he threw a vicious punch right at the wound on Xu Suian’s abdomen.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you."

"To think you could endure that drug—your damn parts are probably completely ruined now."

Xu Suian fought him for the steering wheel, brawling in the cramped space.

Seeing the swaying vehicle, Chang Yi sped ahead to block it, only to be directly sideswiped and pushed aside by the van.

Gritting his teeth, Xu Suian shoved the man away with his elbow.

With no one steering, the car veered off course, crashed through the overpass guardrail, and plunged into the river below.

"Brother——!"

Climbed out of his car, Chang Yi threw himself headfirst into the water, followed moments later by a deafening crash echoing from beneath the surface.

Half an hour later, a torrential downpour began, and a black Cayenne parked outside the police cordon.

Qiao Xu pushed the car door open, rushed out into the pouring rain, and was stopped by a traffic police officer.

"Ma'am, please leave the accident scene."

Qiao Xu stared blankly at the smashed gap in the bridge railing. "I'm his girlfriend."

Si Shen and He Yanxun were both there. Seeing Qiao Xu, He Yanxun pushed Si Shen aside and rushed over. "Did you come to see if he's dead yet? Well, he's dead! Are you happy now? Get lost!"

Si Shen quickly tilted his black umbrella toward him, grabbing his arm and pulling him back. "Ah-Xun, stop talking nonsense."

"Miss Qiao, please accept my condolences."

Whether it was from crying for too long or the rain blinding her eyes, Qiao Xu’s eyes were bloodshot as she clutched the back of her hand. "Aren't they... still searching for him?"

Si Shen said in a hoarse voice, "The chances are slim. The other person has already been found, and..."

Qiao Xu lowered her head and looked at her dirty flats. "Can I... go over and wait?"

He had told her to wait for him to come back.
