The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 362 Ning Xi is dead

Ah San was shot in the head, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground. This change came too suddenly, and someone couldn't help but cry out.

Guo Haipeng quickly retracted the gun and pointed it at Ning Xi again, his expression sinister and cold.

It was as if the person who had just died was not his accomplice, but an ant.

Ning Zhiyuan was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead when he saw him being so violent. He and Ning Xi exchanged a glance, and this brief moment seemed to contain thousands of words.

Based on his previous understanding of Guo Haipeng, Ning Zhiyuan spoke again cautiously.

"...This won't solve anything now. If you have any conditions, you can talk to me. We have already agreed with the police that as long as Ning Xi is safe, we will not prosecute you."

The police nodded in agreement: "Release the hostages and let bygones be bygones."

Of course Guo Haipeng knew that this was just a delaying tactic. He glanced at everyone and felt that the other party's tactics were clumsy, and he couldn't help but sneer.

Everyone looked at him, whose face was ferocious just now but now he was smiling, and they felt that he looked crazy and unpredictable.

Then, Guo Haipeng stared at Ning Zhiyuan with a vicious look: "You want to save your daughter, right? Okay, I'll give you a chance, let's see if you can do it."

Ning Zhiyuan immediately said: "You say!"

Guo Haipeng raised the corner of his mouth maliciously, and said word by word: "If you want her to live, kneel down and beg me!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Xi couldn't help but turn her head to look at him: "Guo Haipeng...you are shameless!"

Ning Zhiyuan was afraid that he would really anger Guo Haipeng, so he clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and slowly knelt down.

For the sake of his daughter, he can abandon his dignity and hide his face.

Looking at this scene, Ning Xi was also shocked.

All the misunderstandings and resentments towards him in the past disappeared at this moment.

The taste of fatherly love that came more than 20 years late was actually tasted in this situation.

Ning Xi felt distressed, her lips trembling slightly due to the touch: "Dad! Get up, get up quickly..."

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head gently at her, and then spoke with difficulty: "...Please, let Xiaoxi go."

Looking at Ning Zhiyuan's humble plea, Guo Haipeng laughed out loud.

"That's easy. Go find her in the sea!"

After saying that, he actually pushed Ning Xi back with his backhand.

Ning Xi, with her hands tied, couldn't struggle at all and fell off the cliff in an instant!

“Xiao Xi——!”

At the same time, Ning Zhiyuan rushed forward with all his strength, but he was still one step too late.

The cliff was very high, with a vast sea below. Ning Xi's screams and figure were swallowed up in a flash, and no trace of her could be found.

Only Ning Zhiyuan's painful cries echoed.

Guo Haipeng knew that he could not escape sanctions, so he pointed the black muzzle of the gun at himself.

"None of you deserves to take my life!"

With a crisp gunshot, Guo Haipeng collapsed, ending his sinful life.

The valley finally returned to peace.

When the Wen family members who arrived later heard the news, they felt as if they were struck by lightning and the sky was falling.

James grabbed Ning Zhiyuan by the collar, and seeing that he was in a trance due to excessive heartache, he cried out: "Didn't you say that you understand Guo Haipeng, and that you would definitely save Xiaoxi?!"

Ning Zhiyuan cried silently without any reaction.

Wen Mochen stopped James. His long-standing doubts and resentments finally broke out at this moment. The tragic facts were before him. His wrists were shaking and his eyes were red.

"Since you have been in contact with Guo Haipeng for a long time, why didn't you bring him to justice earlier? You have repeatedly turned a blind eye to Guo Haipeng's behavior, which means you are covering up his behavior! Are you...are you worthy of being Xiaoxi's father?!"

"She is my biological daughter, how could I not love her?"

Ning Zhiyuan was brought back to his senses by this question. He squatted down in despair and repeatedly grabbed his hair with his hands, "But Mr. Wen has been very kind to me, I have to protect his reputation!"

Hearing him mention his father, Wen Mochen was startled, his eyes still shedding tears flickered a few times: "What does it have to do with my dad? Is it because of him that you haven't returned home all these years?"

The dusty old things were brought up again during the conversation.

"Back then, Mr. Wen added the slightly toxic ingredient Polygonum multiflorum to the medicine in order to achieve the best effect. But this was a banned ingredient at the time, so he only took the experimental product himself."

Ning Zhiyuan's hoarse voice was choked with sobs. "After Guo Haipeng's father had a disagreement with the old gentleman over drug pricing, he took advantage of the lab equipment and ended up causing the explosion in the lab. He also used the use of contraband as leverage."

"Mr. Wen has been honest all his life, but there are too many people out there who don't know the truth. Once it gets out, they will just think that the old man did this for profit! How can he rest in peace in the afterlife?"

No one expected that the reason why Ning Zhiyuan was wandering outside was so heavy. For a moment, Wen Mochen and James were speechless.

Only hot tears flowed for Ning Xi.

The news of Ning Xi falling into the sea spread quickly.

This was an extremely heavy blow to all those who cared about her.

When Gu Huaijing learned the news, he was still on his way to City B. Li Mingyou suddenly called him and said hesitantly, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, the police just sent us a message. You don't have to go..."

Gu Huaijing vaguely sensed that something was wrong and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's no use for you to go there now. Anyway, there's no need..." Li Mingyou hesitated, not knowing how to start the conversation. After struggling for a while, he whispered, "The police said that Miss Ning had fallen into the sea. The search and rescue personnel went down to salvage her but found nothing..."

Gu Huaijing froze and stood there in a daze. He couldn't hear what Li Mingyou said next.

Ning Xi, Ning Xi...

He repeated the name over and over in his mind, and the huge pain in his chest forced him to grab his clothes, making it almost difficult to breathe.

Before my brain could accept this fact, my nasal cavity began to feel sour and huge tears rolled down.

The past scenes replayed in his mind, and Ning Xi's bright smile was so clear that it seemed to be right in front of him. He wanted to spend the rest of his life repaying her and caring for her, but before he could even do one tenth of it, he already had no chance.

Self-blame and guilt almost overwhelmed Gu Huaijing, who was working around the clock. He dragged his tired body, contacted professionals, and stayed directly in Tongluo Town.

He stayed there for a few days while the search and rescue continued.

Every day, Gu Huaijing watched from morning to night, not missing any possible details.

During this time, the people who also came to search for Ning Xi did not look happy when they saw him. To be more precise, it should be He Zhao.

When Ning Xi was alive, Gu Huaijing let her down the most. In his eyes, Gu Huaijing was not qualified to be here.

But with one more person contributing, the hope of finding Ning Xi would be greater. He didn't say much, but the two of them didn't even look at each other every time they passed each other.

The search and rescue work lasted for one day, two days...

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed and the search and rescue operation still had no results.

Gu Huaijing stood near the cliff and looked down. The vast ocean was slightly raised by the wind and was bottomless, as if it could swallow everything.

It must be painful to fall from such a high place...

Ning Xi, where are you?
