Chapter 1179: The Ash Urn in Fu Huai’an’s Hand

Moreover, in accordance with Jacob Bellucci’s previous plan, Gu Qingcheng had already booked his plane ticket and packed his luggage, preparing to take photos of the aurora three days later.

…

On the 1st of March, in a conference room in the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an was listening to the quarterly performance report. Suddenly, a flustered Little Lu came running in. He whispered something in Fu Huai’an’s ears, after which Fu Huai’an’s countenance changed greatly.

At such an important quarterly meeting, the chairman of the Kaide Corporation, Fu Huai’an, took his leave first. Subsequently, President Lu Jinnan and CFO Tang Zheng also left with ghastly expressions, leaving the upper management of the Kaide Corporation discussing in hushed whispers among themselves, wondering what had just happened.

Later, company matters were entrusted to Lu Jinnan’s capable aide, the vice-president, for the time being, while the three of them rushed to Sri Lanka.

When Yun Liuli heard news of Gu Qingcheng’s death, Fu Huai’an and the rest had already reached Sri Lanka and were preparing to bring Gu Qingcheng’s ashes back with them.

She had just finished filming her scenes in “The General” and was seated before a mirror while the makeup artist helped her remove her makeup.

Despite clearly knowing that Gu Qingcheng’s death was faked, she still felt awful, feeling as if she was stabbed in the heart with a knife.

Yun Liuli’s tears flooded down her cheeks like strings of broken pearls. To get out of this by faking his death… he would surely suffer injuries!

She wondered how bad Gu Qingcheng’s injuries were!

Yun Liuli wanted to ask Fu Huai’an, but she hesitated after taking out her phone.

She knew that… it wasn’t a good idea for her to ask. Gu Qingcheng had expended so much effort to extract himself from this by faking his death. One could never be too careful. What if she couldn’t hold herself back from asking Fu Huai’an and news got out… In that case, Gu Qingcheng would have suffered his injuries for nothing!

What she had to do now was take it that Gu Qingcheng had truly died. Only when those people close to Gu Qingcheng believed he was dead would he be able to get a new lease on life.

Yun Liuli restrained herself from calling Fu Huai’an. She closed her eyes, and tears fell down relentlessly.

When Fang Yan came back after a discussion with Director Hu, she saw the young lady closing her eyes and crying relentlessly.

“What’s the matter?” Fang Yan glanced at the makeup artist.

The makeup artist got a shock. “It has nothing to do with me! Just now, when I started removing her makeup, Miss Yun started crying!”

Yun Liuli wanted to explain things on behalf of the makeup artist, but she realized she simply couldn’t open her mouth. She was afraid she might cry hysterically the minute she opened her mouth.

When she came out, Lin Nuan had already arrived at the set. She was dressed in a black sweater and coat, curling her lips at Yun Liuli with great difficulty. She pulled Yun Liuli into her arms and gently stroked the young lady’s back, whispering something in her ear.

Everyone in the production crew saw Yun Liuli suddenly cry out loud. She appeared to be in so much grief that even if one had no idea what had happened, they would be moved.

“I’ll take Liuli away first!” Lin Nuan said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan nodded. She knew that Liuli’s kin had passed away. She wanted to console her but ultimately held back and only said, “Let’s stop acting class and body sculpting class for a few days. Let Liuli take a good rest.”

Lin Nuan nodded.

Lin Nuan took Yun Liuli back to the Fu residence, and on the way there, she told her that Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Bai Jinyu had all gone to Sri Lanka a few days back. It was only after confirming the corpse belonged to Gu Qingcheng that they asked Lin Nuan to inform Yun Liuli.

They were bringing Gu Qingcheng back home today.

Yun Liuli said nothing, as if she was devoid of strength from crying. She leaned on Lin Nuan’s shoulder… her tears drenching Lin Nuan’s shoulder.

The driver drove steadily, and when they got to the Fu residence, Tuan Tuan was already back. He was reading a picture book to Yuan Yuan, who knew nothing, in the living room.

Yun Liuli was truly in no mood to play with Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan today. Once she got to the Fu residence, she went to the guest room and laid on the bed, doing her best to restrain her longing for Gu Qingcheng.

Over these few months, Yun Liuli’s longing for Gu Qingcheng had been increasing by the day. But she could still numb herself by keeping busy.

But today, when she heard news of Gu Qingcheng’s “death”, she suddenly felt like she could take it no longer!

Her thoughts even started running wild. What if Gu Qingcheng didn’t fake his death properly and ended up dying for real!

Yun Liuli wrapped her head with a blanket. Lin Nuan was on the phone with Fu Huai’an downstairs. The servant brought milk and sandwiches up to Yun Liuli, but Yun Liuli said that she didn’t feel like eating and asked the servant to take it away…

Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and Bai Jinyu were on their way back from the airport.

Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng all knew the truth. The only one who was kept in the dark was Bai Jinyu…

When Bai Jinyu heard of Gu Qingcheng’s death, he went along to Sri Lanka with them without even applying for leave. When he saw Gu Qingcheng’s corpse, which was burnt beyond recognition in the morgue… Since that day, he had grown much thinner, and his chin was bristly and unshaven.

Since young, because Bai Jinyu was the youngest amongst them, he was the one most taken care of!

Later, Fu Huai’an went to the army, and the person who took care of him the most was Gu Qingcheng. Although Gu Qingcheng was quiet and of few words, he would always give Bai Jinyu money when he visited Bai Jinyu!

Bai Jinyu refused the money, but Gu Qingcheng would say that the expenses in school were big, and he would ask Bai Jinyu to take the money and eat and learn well with it!

Gu Qingcheng was aware that Bai Jinyu’s family couldn’t help him.

To Bai Jinyu, Gu Qingcheng… was just like his older brother.

When he first saw Gu Qingcheng’s corpse, Bai Jinyu didn’t believe that it was Gu Qingcheng and insisted on DNA verification.

Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng allowed Bai Jinyu to kick up a fuss. When they came, Bai Jinyu brought along Gu Qingcheng’s DNA data, which had been recorded while Gu Qingcheng was seeking his kin. With that as a reference, he did a DNA test on the corpse together with the forensic doctor…

It turned out to really be Gu Qingcheng!

When Bai Jinyu saw the results of the DNA test, he finally accepted this. He rubbed his face with both hands and started crying out loud.

Fu Huai’an held Bai Jinyu’s shoulders. Listening to his cries… Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng’s eyes reddened as well. They turned to look out the windows.

Since it was confirmed to be Gu Qingcheng, they had to bring Gu Qingcheng back home.

In the hospital, Bai Jinyu asked Fu Huai’an about who killed Gu Qingcheng…

Fu Huai’an merely said, “In Old Gu’s line of work, he offended too many people, so as of now, it’s still unclear. Moreover, with our capability, we’re not able to discover who it was.”

After Gu Qingcheng was cremated, Fu Huai’an and his group decided to bring Gu Qingcheng’s ashes back home.

Early the next morning, when Fu Huai’an and his group arrived at the Fu residence with Gu Qingcheng’s ashes, Lin Nuan and her family, as well as Yun Liuli and the servants at home, had already changed into black clothing.

It drizzled lightly that day. Fu Huai’an carried Gu Qingcheng’s ash urn with both hands, and Little Lu was holding up an umbrella while helping Fu Huai’an pull open the car door…

When Yun Liuli saw the ash urn in Fu Huai’an’s hand, the tears that finally stopped were unleashed again.

Braving the rain, she walked over. As she stood before Fu Huai’an, her eyes on the ash urn, she bit her lower lip hard. She took the ash urn from him and held it tightly to her chest.
