I sat enough, then floated out to see if Gui Yanye had left.

Under the scorching sun, she stood stiffly, still not leaving.

Huh?

When did she become so resistant to heat? Why isn't she leaving?

Assistant Chen answered a phone call and walked over to Gui Yanye.

"General Gui, I've had someone investigate thoroughly. Mr. went into cardiac arrest and passed away a year ago. He was buried in Peaceful Gardens, arranged by the Lu family. No outsiders were informed, and this information was kept hidden from the public."

Gui Yanye covered her face.

"Didn't he tell me he was going on a trip abroad? For a very long time?"

"I remember every word he said very clearly."

Assistant Chen fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"No, there is no record of Mr. leaving the country. That may have been an excuse. Perhaps he knew he didn't have much time left, perhaps he loved you too much, and you were with Mr. Yi... I don't know why, but the result is that Mr. chose to quietly leave this world."

Gui Yanye stood at the entrance of the Lu family until it was dark, and I floated there with her until it was dark.
