Chapter 1070  : A Tale of Your Ignorance of Her Love for You (10)

She was already gone?

Every single word was clear and easy to understand but, when pieced together, they sounded like a language that Qin Jiayan didn’t understand, and he stared at Zhang Lin quietly for a long time without showing any reaction.“I mean that she’s gone. The night after she met you, she called me and told me about it. Then she told me that the Lin family had a gathering that she had to go to. Two hours later, she called me again and told me that she was really happy to have met me, and she even said ‘Goodbye, Sister Lin.’ I constantly felt that something was wrong, and I couldn’t sleep at all that night. When I got up early the next morning, I called her, but she didn’t answer. I felt increasingly uneasy, so I made the trip to the Lin’s residence in the city. That was when I learned that she had committed suicide by jumping into the sea on the night the Lin family had a banquet on their yacht.

Committed suicide by jumping into the sea…

Qin Jiayan felt his blood freeze. After an exceptionally long time, he managed to force out a sentence. “Did you see her when you went to the Lin family’s house?”

“No. The family called the police, but the waves were quite rough that night and they couldn’t find her body. They only found her purse and shoes. There were also witnesses who saw her jump into the sea. The Lin family probably thought it was hopeless to try to save her because they didn’t put much effort into finding her. Now that I think about it, the family never bothered about her, so it makes sense they wouldn’t have bothered to search for her.”

Qin Jiayan sat in his chair in silence without responding, still frozen.

Zhang Lin again cried for a long time before she wiped her tears away. “Mr. Qin?”

When Qin Jiayan still didn’t respond, Zhang Lin called out again, “Mr. Qin?”

Qin Jiayan finally shifted his eyes and, although the movement was slight, they immediately turned red. His lips were tightly pursed, and he swallowed furiously several times before he finally said, “You… Could you excuse yourself for a moment?”
