Chapter 1384. Perish 5
He came over and stood there for a while without saying a word. When the gunshots rang out, Xi Xiaye, who was beside him, could feel that he had suddenly tensed up.She suddenly held his hand tightly and looked at Doris who had fallen, and Ah Mo who held Mu Lingshi, she then breathed a sigh of relief, patted his hand, and reassured him, “It’s fine, it’s fine, Mr. Mu! It’s fine now. Don’t worry. It’s all over now.”
Her calm consolation reached his ears in his dazed state. Then, he gathered himself and turned to peer down at her looking up at him. He consoled his wife with a sigh. Suddenly, he turned to pull her into his arms, feeling a thin hint of warmth from her, and he felt grounded again.
Xi Xiaye was engulfed in his embrace as she said softly, “It’s fine. It will all be well.”
He did not quite answer. Only after a while did he pull her out from his arms, then turn to order Li Si, “I’ll let you handle the rest.”
After that, he pulled Xi Xiaye’s hand to go downstairs.
“Master…” Li Si muttered, but Mu Yuchen had already gradually moved further away.
The forensics quickly took Doris’s remains, and Gu Qiwu, who was being held down by the police, could only just watch her be taken away.
She was gone, forever, just gone.
Gu Qiwu acknowledged that in his heart, but this made him feel more bewildered. He would always be sad. Back then, when they found out that Mu Zixi had jumped to her death and ended her life, he had experienced the same feeling.
