“What? Meng Yu and Li Zhe were killed?” Shen Xi exclaimed, rising from the sofa in shock. She stared at Guan Lei in disbelief.

“At 11:00 PM local time in America,” Guan Lei said with a grim expression.

“Could it be a misunderstanding? How…?” Shen Xi hesitated, unwilling to believe.

“The information we received indicates that. I can’t reach them now. If it’s true, relevant news will probably come out soon,” Guan Lei explained.

Shen Xi collapsed onto the sofa, completely sh.e.l.l-shocked.

Meng Yu and Li Zhe had embarked on their journey in pursuit of happiness this time, but unexpectedly, such a tragedy occurred.

“I’ve sent people to verify. Maybe…” Guan Lei paused, then continued, “Maybe nothing happened? Meng Yu, who has experienced so much, wouldn’t easily fall into trouble.’

At nine in the evening, as Guan Lei predicted, numerous news reports surfaced. A same-s.e.x couple from China faced an attack by local armed militants and were caught in an explosion. Both of them had tragically lost their lives.

Even though Shen Xi was reluctant to believe it, apart from these official reports, they knew nothing about Meng Yu and Li Zhe. The uncertainty weighed heavily on them.

The news of Li Zhe and Meng Yu’s tragedy reached Li Industries and the Guan family, catching everyone off guard.

Li Yuan slumped in his office chair. Li Peng and his wife were left aghast.

Li Feng never expected things to turn out this way. No wonder Li Zhe’s phone was off when he tried calling yesterday. It seemed something terrible had already happened.

Li Yuan entrusted the company affairs to Li Fengs family, then, accompanied by Li Peng, headed overseas to identify the bodies.

Upon hearing of Nieng Yu’s tragic fate, Guan Yi collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.

Leaving Guan Yan and his wife to take care of Guan Yi, Guan Lei bid farewell to Shen Xi, intending to go to America to handle Meng Yu’s affairs.

“I’m coming with you!” Shen Xi said, her face filled with sorrow.

Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi and eventually agreed, “Alright, pack your things.

I’ll go prepare as well. We’ll meet later.”

Shen Xi nodded and hurriedly went to pack her luggage.

Upon learning about Meng Yu’s news, Shen Yan and Lu Shan were also dismayed. Lu Shan reminded Shen Xi, who was leaving with her luggage, “Xi, remember to come back quickly. Be safe, okay?”

Shen Xi nodded.

Guan Lei spoke up, “Uncle and Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll take care of Xi.”

Lu Shan nodded, telling Guan Lei, “You take care too. If something bad happens, be cautious, alright?”

Guan Lei obediently nodded.

The two rushed to America to identify the bodies, coincidentally meeting Li

Yuan and his son.

“Grandpa Li,’! Guan Lei greeted and led Shen Xi along.

Li Yuan gave Guan Lei and Shen Xi a blank look, then slowly nodded before turning his attention back to the translator, who was conveying what the police were saying.

The shrewdness in Li Yuan’s eyes now seemed veiled with a mist of sorrow. He appeared to have aged by a decade, exuding the cold and desolate air of late autumn.

Shen Xi’s gaze fell on the two covered bodies on the beds. They were completely obscured by white sheets.

Feeling uneasy, Shen Xi lowered her head. Guan Lei considerately supported her and whispered, “Don’t rush to be sad. It might not be them.”

Shen Xi nodded obediently. Yes, it was not confirmed yet, right?

The translator indicated that Li Yuan’s group could proceed with the identification. Li Pengs trembling hands gently lifted the white cloth, only to reveal bodies burnt beyond recognition. It was impossible to discern whether it was Li Zhe or Meng Yu.

Stunned, Shen Xi stood still. Guan Lei gently covered her eyes. “Don’t look.”

Then he added, “The facial features of these two are beyond recognition. We need to conduct genetic testing on some tissue samples and compare them with their family members for confirmation.”

During the two days of awaiting the genetic test results, many projects at Li Industries faced various difficulties.

Out of desperation, Li Feng and his wife had to return to Beijing. Seizing the moment during their visit to Old Master Guan, they sought his a.s.sistance.

Guan Yi, however, looked at Li Fengs family with hatred, as if they were enemies.. He exclaimed with resentment, “Li Zhe killed Meng Yu!’
