Rong Jin was the first to know that Zhuo Xian and Zhu Zhongyan had died at home. When Zhuo Xian asked her to take the child, she had already guessed it. The next day, when she went to their villa, she indeed saw the two of them lying in crystal coffins, dressed in their finery.
She knew they were gone. Holding the infant in her arms, she didn't know what to do. She was very displeased with Zhuo Xian for taking Zhongyan away and leaving her and the child behind. She kicked the crystal coffin forcefully.
A moment later, she left their villa with the child and went to the company she had visited before. She had been there before and entered easily this time, meeting Sheng Jiangchen, who was busy.
"Miss Rong, can I help you? Are you looking for Director Gu again? She's not here today."
"I know," Rong Jin rolled her eyes. "They're both dead, at home, already in coffins. Find a way to bury them, don't cremate them."
Sheng Jiangchen: "..."
He was shocked, and while he was refuting her, he couldn't help but recall Zhuo Xian's previous words.
She had said, "What if it's a dying wish?"
But how could they...
"Alright, nothing else. I'm leaving."
"Wait!"
"Mr. Sheng," Qin Yuerong walked in. "Professor Sheng is here and wants to see Director Gu."
Sheng Jiangchen said nothing.
Rong Jin said, "She can't see him."
Qin Yuerong looked at her, puzzled.
Rong Jin said, "They're both dead, she can't see him."
Qin Yuerong was equally surprised.
Then Sheng Qingchi.
Every time someone new arrived, Rong Jin had to explain it again. She was getting annoyed. Looking at the three stunned and dazed people, she said, "They both died by their own hand, no need to investigate. Definitely don't take them out of the coffins. She'll likely come back to find you late tonight."
The three probably really hoped she would come back.
Sheng Qingchi lowered his head and said ambiguously, "No wonder she said those things yesterday. So that's why..."
"She said it before, that it was a dying wish."
Rong Jin looked at their dejected appearances and said dismissively, "She should have said everything she needed to say before she died. You all take care of yourselves. Goodbye."
She took a couple of steps away with the child, then turned back and added, "Oh, I'm afraid we'll never meet again."
The three of them also didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.
After they handled the funeral arrangements for Gu Xian and Zhu Zhongyan, and faced the share transfer letter left by Zhuo Xian, intending to find their child to "inherit" everything, they discovered that Rong Jin and the child had disappeared.
Upon further investigation, they discovered that Rong Jin had appeared out of nowhere. No one knew when she had appeared or why she was Gu Xian's sister. They only knew that she had appeared beside Lu Jingting, been pursued by him, and then, after the heart-digging incident was exposed, both of them were cast into the abyss. Su Dan Novel Network.
She had come to find Zhuo Xian and said some inexplicable things. They clearly knew each other, but their relationship wasn't good. However, Zhuo Xian had actually chosen to entrust the child to her.
All three felt that the world was not worth it.
The news of the two's deaths spread like wildfire. Zhuo Xian was one of the saviors they had created, and indeed she was. Many people were grateful to her. Zhu Zhongyan also had many fans. Those people didn't understand why these two had died.
During this period, there were even many conspiracy theories, such as the future of the "Future Star" force being too great and attracting attention, them being murdered, or someone wanting to kill Zhuo Xian and Zhu Zhongyan being implicated, or one of them having a terminal illness, and the other choosing to follow in a suicide pact...
The conspiracy theories became too heated. Finally, 002 came forward and released a short video of the two before their deaths, proving that they had indeed committed suicide. This finally calmed public outrage.
The tragic love story of the two became a tale that moved many to tears. Zhu Zhongyan's last film, released after his death, garnered significant attention and ultimately elevated him to god-like status.
Alas, it was all over.
Of "Future Star's" shares, Zhuo Xian left half to Sheng Jiangchen, instructing him to use two-thirds of the annual share dividends for charity. Some employees who had made significant contributions to the company also received some. The rest was given to Sheng Qingchi, indirectly for the state. Most of the other assets were sold by Sheng Jiangchen for charity. The remaining small portion, such as the shares of the Gu Group that had later returned to her hands, she returned to Gu's father.
Although the two had little interaction, and Gu's father was not good to his original daughter, they were father and daughter after all. If the original person were alive, she would have had the obligation to support her parents. Since she had used the original person's body, she reluctantly helped her. After all, those shares were given by someone trying to curry favor with her, so there was no harm in using them.
As for Gu's father, upon hearing the news of their deaths, he became disheartened, fell gravely ill, and barely managed to attend their funeral. He then received the donation letter from Sheng Jiangchen and was moved to tears. He stared at the agreement for a long time, lost in thought.
Gu Yingrong, whose body had long since recovered, also learned of this. She regarded Zhuo Xian as her lifelong enemy. At first, she was quite excited, but later, as she gradually understood some things, she wasn't as happy.
Zhuo Xian was one of the saviors in the media's eyes. The magnetic shield she had developed was now worn by the public, and the weapons that resisted alien monsters were also her creations. She had made great contributions to this world.
In contrast, she herself, having been reborn, knew some things. But her initial focus was on revenge, wanting to change her terrible fate. There were many better ways, but she chose the worst, ultimately gaining nothing and even losing a leg.
She looked at her mechanical leg, which was also developed by "Future Star," and the surgery was controlled by 002. It was very successful. Now, it was imperceptible unless she ran at high speed.
She had been reborn, and she could have done more meaningful things. Why had it turned out this way?
After the two died, Gu Yingrong also went through a period of despondency. Then she took over the Gu Group, began to expand her business empire, and at the same time, learned to do good deeds.
She and Qin Yuerong had long been impossible. After what happened before, they had no further contact, and with Zhuo Xian's death, there was no possibility of any further interaction.
Later, she met many people and learned what it truly meant to love someone, not for profit, but for the purest thing left after discarding all deceit and cunning. This made her understand why those two were willing to die together.
It turned out there really were two people whose love spanned mountains and seas, and all mountains and seas could be crossed.
