The text message reads:

"The photo has been bought, and the identity of the deceased is most likely Miss Yan's mother."

Yan Ning's eyes froze, and she hesitated for several seconds before picking up her phone with trembling hands and checking the text message again.

In addition to the text message, Assistant Shen also sent a few photos.

Yan Ning couldn't stop being curious, and clicked on it to check it, but after only one glance, her heartbeat was about to stop.

In the photo, an icy corpse is lying on the beach, its head already separated.

A feeling of nausea that wanted to vomit came up, and Yan Ning covered her mouth and endured it.

Continue to stare at the shocking photo.

Yan Ning recognized that the deceased's clothes were the ethnic windbreakers her mother had worn in the past, her fingers still wearing her wedding ring with her father, and a string of dzi bracelets on her wrists.

These items are all custom-made by the mother, and this is the only one in the world.

Who the person in the photo is, Yan Ning already knows in her heart.

was in a state of uncertainty about life and death before, Yan Ning still had a concern in her heart, but when she saw these photos at that time, all her hopes were instantly shattered.

She was at a loss for what to do with Gu Yinan's mobile phone, her eyes wandered left and right, and she was in a state of panic.

Casting his gaze on the side of the bed, Gu Yinan woke up at some point, and his bottomless black eyes were looking at her.

Yan Ning raised the mobile phone in her palm and asked in a fluttering tone, "Is this Miss Yan me?" Obviously he had already guessed the answer, but he still wanted to hear an extremely faint hope from his mouth.

Gu Yinan sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and patted the edge of the bed with his big palm.

Yan Ning sat down, Gu Yinan stretched out his arms and hugged her into his arms, leaned into her ear and said, "You still have me." ”

Those four words had given her a clear answer, her mother was no longer there.

A sour feeling filled her heart, Yan Ning couldn't help the pain in her heart, so she lay on his shoulder and cried.

Gu Yinan hugged her tightly from beginning to end, warming her in his way.

Later, Gu Yinan told her what she didn't know last night.

He said that he sent someone to find her mother a few days ago and received a clue from the detective at about 1 a.m. last night. About three months ago, after the super typhoon, an unknown female headless body appeared on XX Island abroad.

According to local villagers, the body was a tourist from outside the village, and the time of death coincided with the time of her mother's disappearance.

But the body was left unclaimed on the beach, and when it arrived at the police, it was swept back by the waves, and the body has not been found so far.

After Gu Yinan heard the news, he sent Assistant Shen and the detective to go abroad overnight to inquire with the villagers on the island, and found these photos along the way.

The photo was too bloody, and Gu Yinan didn't dare to let her identify the identity of the deceased, but Assistant Shen could basically conclude that the wedding ring and dzi belonged to her mother through multiple comparisons through the photos taken by her mother before.

……

This afternoon, Gu Yinan stayed in her office, and the two sat separately without disturbing each other.

After learning of her mother's death, if there were no bones, Yan Ning was depressed all afternoon.

She sat in front of the computer in a daze, moving the mouse in her hand to browse the documents, but she didn't look at the facts, and all she thought about was her mother's past.

A glass of warm water suddenly broke into her line of sight, Yan Ning looked up, and Gu Yinan took a glass of water and put it in her hand.

Gu Yinan stood next to her chair, standing with her back to the desk.

The eyes of the two looked high and low, Gu Yinan stretched out his hand and patted the back of her head with little force, and proposed: "If you are not busy, let's go down and take a walk!" ”

Knowing that Gu Yinan wanted to comfort her, Yan Ning shook her head, "I'm fine." ”

Yan Ning glanced at the clock time on the countertop, it was almost time to get off work. She urged: "It's going to be rush hour soon, and if you don't leave, you'll be stuck in traffic." ”

Gu Yinan said: "In your situation, how can I go." ”

Yan Ning had an appointment with Gu Tianqing in advance, and Gu Tianqing didn't agree to let Gu Yinan know, she just wanted to get the ring back as soon as possible, and didn't want to cause trouble, so she stood up and pushed Gu Yinan's arm, and said, "I'm really fine, go back quickly!" ”

Gu Yinan was pushed away by her, and said as she left: "Call me before I go home, and I will pick you up." ”

Yan Ning nodded, sent Gu Yinan to leave to the door, Gu Yinan turned around and pecked her on the forehead before leaving.

After Gu Yinan left, Xu Jiayi came in to look for her.

"What are you two doing in the office?" Xu Jiayi stood beside her and asked, "I haven't seen you come out all afternoon." ”

Yan Ning knew that he wanted to be crooked, "Put away your dirty thoughts." ”

Yan Ning raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sat back at the desk, and Xu Jiayi followed.

The two sat on their chairs, and Yan Ning said, "Gu Yinan has news of my mother over there." ”

Xu Jiayi was excited, "How is it?" ”

"Gu Yinan found some photos." Thinking of the tragic scene in the photo, Yan Ning's hands couldn't stop shaking, and she said with difficulty, "I found the body on the beach, but the head is gone, from the clothes in the photo, and the ornaments on the body, it can be identified as my mother's belongings, but then it was swept away by the waves." ”

Yan Ning sighed, the moment she saw her head split, she knew that the chance of her mother's survival was almost zero, and the police over there had been salvaging for a long time, but the body was still missing, and she didn't expect to be able to find her mother's bones in the vast sea.

After saying this, Yan Ning's body kept trembling, and that tremor was uncontrollable, it came from the heart.

It was really too worrying, and Yan Ning's tears that she couldn't stop flowed again.

Xu Jiayi stood up from the chair, walked to her side, patted her shoulder, and said in a rare serious tone: "Cousin, don't be afraid, you will always be my family." ”

Yan Ning looked at him with red eyes, burst into tears, and said with a smile while wiping her tears: "It looks like a bit of a father." ”

Xu Jiayi dragged her up from the chair with one hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to have a good meal in the evening." ”

Yan Ning raised her hand and patted his arm, pulled out a tissue from the table, wiped her tears, and refused: "I still have something to do at night." ”

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Gu Tianqing asked Yan Ning to meet at a Western restaurant.

When she heard the name of the restaurant, Yan Ning resisted, the restaurant was extraordinarily romantic, and it was a famous date spot in Haicheng.

Gu Tianqing picked this kind of place, it was obvious that he wanted to disgust her, but everything was for the ring, she could only endure it.

As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Yan Ning went to the appointment on time.

Gu Tianqing was already waiting for her in the restaurant, he was wearing a brand new suit tonight, and he also had a neat haircut, and he felt a little less arrogant on his face.

Led by the waiter, Yan Ning was taken to sit down across from him.

From the moment Yan Ning appeared in front of him, he smiled at her with an evil smile, which made Yan Ning feel repulsed from the bottom of his heart.

After sitting down, Yan Ning stretched out her hand without saying a word, "Give me back the ring." ”

Gu Tianqing sneered, "What's the hurry, the people haven't gathered yet!" ”
