Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Did He Really Die_1

Misunderstanding?

That’s laughable. If he could bring the two children back to life, then I would forgive him for this ‘misunderstanding.’

Some hatreds can only be repaid with blood.

“Alright, Lawyer Zhou, no need to explain anymore. I’m not a fool, this matter ends here! Please, don’t trouble my life any further.”

I turned around, stepped down the stairs, and got into the taxi.

After recovering from my illness, I began to go to work at the company. freewёbnoνel.com

Afterward, Zhou Chenming called me twice more, pleading for me to see Gu Yuanzhou for one last time.

I refused.

To keep myself from being distracted by this, I made a special trip to Hong Kong to attend the New Year fashion week design conference.

Time quietly slipped by.

That night, after the fashion show had ended, I was touching up my makeup in the restroom when I overheard two colleagues discussing nearby.

“Did you know? Gu Yuanzhou from Zhenyi Company was executed this morning!”

“No way, I saw him just last month at the fashion week. He was tall and handsome, quite charming. How could he just die?”

“Well, I heard he stabbed someone… It’s really such a shame, wonder who will inherit his wealth now that he’s gone?”

Hearing this news, my heart clenched violently.

And I thought of that day in court, of how Gu Yuanzhou’s crimson eyes had glared at me, giving me a malevolent smile, “Ayun, do you really want me to die?”

I couldn’t bear to hear this and hurried out of the restroom.

I could never believe that Gu Yuanzhou truly died!

Once I returned to A City.

The city looked the same as before.

The same streets, the same trees, the same buildings…

I stood on the street corner, letting the cool breeze lift the hem of my skirt.

I always felt like there was someone behind me. Whipping around suddenly, I found only passersby in haste – none had come for me.

That’s right!

He died!

The man I hated so much in my heart had finally died. From now on, I would be safe.

Perhaps to take care of my emotions,

friends like Wenya, when they were with me, all tacitly chose not to mention the name Gu Yuanzhou.

Oddly enough, there was no more news about Gu Yuanzhou online either.

All those videos that had spread his scandals or discussed how many years he might be sentenced to after he was detained were gone.

It was as if a strong wind had blown through, sweeping away any message of Gu Yuanzhou’s existence in this world.

That afternoon.

Ding Xiao brought Ding Ruirui to the company for a visit.

“Auntie, I missed you! Why haven’t you come to see me for so long?”

The little girl looked so adorable with her backpack on, hugging my legs as soon as she entered the door.

Ding Xiao laughed and said, “She made a fuss for several days, insisting on seeing you. Today, she didn’t even want to go to school, just had to come with me to the company.”

I picked up the little girl in my arms.

“Auntie was sick and hospitalized for a while. I couldn’t come to see you. But now that I’m better, how about I take you to the zoo to see the monkeys this weekend?”

“Yes, please!”

The little girl wouldn’t budge from my lap.

I asked Ding Xiao about Yinuo’s condition while the little girl casually picked up my phone to play with it.

“How is Yinuo’s illness? Now that Gu Yuanzhou’s case has closed, I want to visit him in the United States.”

“There’s no need for that anymore, the doctors there said he’s recovering really well and he should be able to return at the beginning of next month.”

I was very pleased to hear this, “Really?”

“Yes! But now, he speaks with some unclear pronunciation, he needs time to train!”

“That’s wonderful…”

While I was talking with Ding Xiao, Ding Ruirui, who was playing with my phone, suddenly looked at a photo and pointed to it, asking, “Aunty, what is this?”

The little girl was like a curious baby, always coming over to ask about everything.

I glanced at it casually, preparing to answer.

Suddenly, I realized that the photo she was pointing at was the one I had taken last time in Gu Yuanzhou’s rest room—the photo of the clown mask.

I was stunned for a few seconds.

Back then, I remembered Ding Ruirui saying that the reason she left school was that she saw someone wearing a clown mask waving at her.

When I saw this mask in Gu Yuanzhou’s rest room, I even thought Gu Yuanzhou was the culprit behind the scenes.

“Uh, Ruirui, haven’t you seen this mask before?”

Ding Ruirui shook her head.

“I’ve never seen it!”

“Then think carefully, the last time you were at school, you said there was a clown uncle across the street waving at you… The mask on the clown uncle’s face was a clown mask, and this is a clown mask, right?”

Ding Ruirui thought for a long time, but still shook her head,

“I remember the clown uncle, but aunty, this mask is not a clown!”

I suddenly snapped back to my senses, realizing that I had prematurely defined the concept of a clown.

The clown in children’s worlds might not be the clown I was aware of, so to clarify the truth, I opened my computer.

I searched online for various masks to show to Ding Ruirui,

“Sweetie, can you tell aunty what the clown mask you saw that day looked like?”

Ding Ruirui tilted her little head and looked at the computer for a while, then finally pointed to one of the masks on the screen,

“It’s this one, aunty!”

I followed her little pointing finger and saw that it was a Beijing opera mask, specifically the black-faced Zhang Fei.

To be on the safe side, I asked her once more,

“Sweetie, are you sure it’s this one?”

“Yeah, it’s this one, it’s the clown!”

“Uh…”

As Ding Ruirui repeatedly identified it, I realized that perhaps I had somewhat misunderstood Gu Yuanzhou.

At the very least, he wasn’t involved in the kidnapping of Ding Ruirui.

“Miss Song, are you still worrying about this?”

Ding Xiao asked me.

I smiled and closed the computer, “No, just playing with Ruirui for a bit!”

“Mm-hmm!”

That afternoon, Ding Ruirui played in my office for two hours, and I didn’t do anything else but keep her company.

Watching cartoons, playing with building blocks and puzzles.

The world of a child is always very simple, and a little toy can make her very happy.

When it was time to get off work, Ding Xiao took her away.

And right after Ding Xiao had left, Zhou Chenming came in.

“Miss Song, it’s good you haven’t left work yet. I think my timing is just right, isn’t it?”

I gave him a look, “Why are you looking for me now?”

Gu Yuanzhou is dead!

All my debts to him, whether love or hate, have dissipated into smoke.

Zhou Chenming pulled out a stack of documents from his bag, “There are some documents that need your signature. Don’t worry, there’s nothing here that would put you at a disadvantage!”

“My signature?”

With confusion, I opened the file, an inheritance document, share transfer documents…

Although there were a dozen documents, skim-reading through them, it was essentially all of Gu Yuanzhou’s entire fortune, which now required me to inherit!

This situation truly caught me by surprise.

“Zhou Chenming, have you made a mistake?”
