In the west suburbs of China, in front of two adjacent blank tombstones, stood a tall man.
The man had wide shoulders and long legs. He had a handsome face and wore an exquisite suit. From his appearance, one could tell that he was out of the ordinary. If he was standing in the crowd, he would definitely attract the most attention.
But now, the aura around him was cold and distant, as if he was immersed in his own world. Besides the two small tombs in front of him, there was nothing else that could attract his attention.
This man was Qin Xu, and the two tombstones in front of him were the remains of the two skeletons that the police had found in the ruins after the fire.
They all said that it was Ye Anne and Ye Zixing, so he buried them here. However, Qin Xu could not believe that the person he loved so much and his child disappeared from this world just like that … So he refused to engrave their names on the two tombstones and to put up photographs.
Because of his persistence, there were two blank tombstones in the western cemetery …
Qin Xu had already been at the cemetery for quite a while now, and he just stared at the two tombstones in a daze.
It was just a blank stare.
Logically speaking, the people buried under the two tombstones were most likely Ye Anne and Ye Zixing. He should have missed them since he came here, but emotionally, Qin Xu's heart did not waver at all when she looked at the two empty tombstones.
This wasn't because he was heartless and cold-blooded, and was a little sad for Ye Anne and Ye Zixing's deaths. He had always felt that all of this was just a dragon. Everyone was mistaken, Ye Anne and Ye Zixing were still alive …
He also knew that his current situation was kind of bewitching, but he didn't have definite evidence for one day. The two remnants of evidence were Ye Anne and Ye Zixing, so he wouldn't be able to escape from this bewitchment for one day.
Qin Xu was stunned for a while again. Suddenly, someone patted on his shoulder from behind, he regained his senses and turned around.
The person who came was his brother, Qin Chengqi.
After the huge fire at the chemical factory, Qin Chengqi keenly felt that something was wrong with his brother's situation. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to think it through, he impulsively tried to do some other foolish things. These few days, Qin Chengqi had specially moved to live with him in order to better take care of him.
With Qin Xu's current state, it was not suitable for him to return to work at the Qin’s in such a short period of time. Therefore, the moment Qin Chengqi returned back to his residence, he left the hospital and once again returned to working together with the company.
In the past few days, Qin Chengqi did not even go to the company, he just stayed at Qin Xu's home, accompanying him, while taking care of the company's matters.
But this morning, the company had a matter that could only be settled by him personally coming out, so he had no choice but to leave Qin Xu for a while, but did not expect that in the short two to three hours, when he returned home, Qin Xu would suddenly disappear.
When he called Qin Xu, no one actually answered his phone. Qin Chengqi instantly became anxious.
He thought about it carefully, and felt that the most likely place for Qin Xu to go after he left home was the west suburbs cemetery, thus he immediately chased after him.
Fortunately, he really did find Qin Xu in front of his and Ye Zixing's tombstones.
At the same time Qin Chengqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he could not help but frown and say to Qin Xu who had turned around: "I am not against it, and I will not stop you from leaving, but you should not have chosen not to pick up my phone. Do you know how worried I am?"
Hearing Qin Chengqi mentioning the phone number, Qin Xu paused for a moment. Then, he slowly took out his cellphone from his pocket and lit it up to take a look at the screen.
He saw that there were more than ten points that Qin Chengqi had left behind, and only then did he understand what had happened.
"I didn't mean not to pick up your phone. I don't know when I left my phone off the record either." Qin Xu explained.
However, when Qin Chengqi saw his brother's bland expression, he felt that he was intentionally fawning over him.
Therefore, Qin Chengqi let out a long sigh, and said with a serious tone: "Qin Xu, you can't be this depressed anymore, I know you are very sad now, when I broke up with Chu Xiaoxiao, for a moment, I wanted to die, and what you are experiencing now is hundreds, even thousands of times more severe than what I experienced previously, so I can understand how you felt. But, other than Anne and Xia Zhi Xing, you still have me and Mom and Dad. Think about us and beg you not to torture yourself like this, okay? The deaths of Anne, Zi Xing and Zi Xing were not your fault … "
"NO!" They are not dead. " Qin Xu suddenly spoke out and made his plans.
He once again repeated solemnly, "They did not die, there is no evidence to prove that the two lines of bones buried inside were Anne and Zi Xing's!"
Qin Chengqi knew that even now, he still could not accept the truth of Ye Anne and Ye Zixing's deaths. He couldn't help but feel depressed and pained for him.
Qin Chengqi sighed in his heart, just as he was about to advise Qin Xu not to be stubborn, a different thought suddenly emerged in his mind the moment he opened his mouth.
Therefore, he paused for a moment, swallowed back what he was about to say, and changed the topic. "Alright, since you think that the people buried in this ground are not Ye Anne and Ye Zixing, then you shouldn't continue to be so dispirited. The real Ye Anne and Ye Zixing are still waiting for you to save them! But with your current condition … If you can't even take care of yourself, how are you going to save them? "
If Ye Anne's Ye Zixing was still alive, he would be willing to believe it along with him.
Just as expected, after Qin Xu finished listening to what Qin Chengqi said, the indifferent and distant expression on his face suddenly changed.
He was silent for a while, and then said as if he was talking to himself: "You're right, I really cannot continue being dispirited. If I go late to save them one day, they will suffer an extra day at Zhao Jun's hands."
Qin Chengqi, who was at the side, secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "It's for the best that you can think like this." It looked like his plan had worked.
Qin Xu thought for a while, then said: "I'll be rid of you regarding the Qin’s for a while now, I'm going to go abroad."
"Sure, I won't stop you no matter where you want to go." Qin Chengqi said, "But you have to promise me to take care of yourself, not to let yourself be in danger, and to stay in touch with me at all times."
Qin Chengqi had thought it through, rather than leaving Qin Xu at home to continue his dejection, it would be better to let him do whatever he wanted. He just so happened to be able to take advantage of the time while he was abroad to relax. Perhaps at some point, he would suddenly figure it out …
The requests that Qin Chengqi made were not excessive, Qin Xu agreed without thinking.
Actually, he didn't have the intention to lightly injure himself in the first place, and didn't want to continue to let himself feel dejected. It was just that ever since the earthquake, he had completely lost any news of Zhao Jun … And without Zhao Jun, any clues that they could find Ye Anne and her daughter were all dead …
To be precise, he was not so much sad about the death of Anne and his daughter as angry that he could not find any clues. In such a big world, not finding someone was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
However, his brother Qin Chengqi's words reminded him — Anne the good son was still suffering in Zhao Jun's hands. If he gave up so easily, then what should they do?
It was time for him to pull himself together.
The two brothers reached an agreement at the cemetery, and then they went home together.
Qin Xu decided that he needed to cheer up. As a result, when he just reached home, he called his assistant and asked about all the planes that took off from City Z on the day of the earthquake.
He still insisted on what he had originally thought.
Since none of the hospitals in the country were able to find any information on Ye Anne going to get the prescription medicine, then it was very likely that she had already been brought out of the country by Zhao Jun.
If he wanted to leave Z City, he had to fly.
Although the security at the airport was extremely strict, logically speaking, it was impossible for Zhao Jun to hide while he was still a fugitive. However, there was no guarantee that he would be so crafty as to find a way to evade the security and successfully take Ye Anne away.
Due to the damage to the airport's monitoring and control room's equipment during the earthquake, during the period of time after the earthquake, the monitoring and video at the airport was lost. It might have been during that time that Zhao Jun secretly boarded the plane …
Qin Xu made all sorts of assumptions and speculations, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to be true.
Very quickly, the assistant sent over the information that Qin Xu wanted. During the period of time that they were missing, the destinations of the aircraft that left City Z were all over the twenty countries.
At this point, there were no more clues. The only way to continue searching was the most primitive and time-consuming method, which relied on slowly searching country by country by country.
At first, it was because of this that Qin Xu had given up on them in a depressed manner — — It was practically impossible to find Ye Anne and Ye Zixing in twenty countries, especially after they had arrived abroad, they would leave at any time to any other country. Like this, the area he had to look for would become the entire world.
But now, even if he only had the tiniest glimmer of hope, he would try to follow it up. Because, this strand of hope from him, was the complete hope of Ye Anne and Ye Zixing …
That night, Qin Xu stared at the names of the twenty countries, and looked at them for an entire night. Finally, at dawn, he instinctively chose Italy.
After Qin Xu determined the country to be the first stop, on the same day, he led his bodyguard team and majestically boarded the plane that would fly to Italy.
If Zhao Jun really took Ye Zixing and away from Italy, he could only place his hopes on them. In the end, they decided to stay in this country, and did not just treat it as a transfer station.
