Qiao Liang looked deeply at the seemingly fragile woman standing in front of him, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. "Why should I find him with you? Go!"

With that, he left without looking back.

The woman lowered her head, and tears appeared in her eyes. Tear drops flowed from his eyes and fell onto the silvery fine sand. As there was no one around him, he looked towards where Qiao Liang disappeared, biting his lips and muttering in a voice that only he himself could hear, “Why do you only see Xixi? Why just him? Why do you just think about it, just love her even though she is dead.”.

Qiao Liang immediately came to the beach on the other side of the island, where a group of white-robed doctors were comparing DNA reports at a makeshift studio built on the island.

“This day belongs to Miss Tang, so most likely her body is in this sea area,” said a doctor.

Another doctor said, “Maybe the body was eaten by a shark here. Maybe we can announce Miss Tang's death based on this DNA report.”

Qiao Liang heard every word of the doctors' conversation. He stepped in, took a DNA report and looked at it. Then he tore it into small pieces and said coldly, "We didn't find Tang Xi's body tissue, understand?"

The doctors looked at each other, but under Qiao Liang's cold gaze, they could only nod. “We know what to do, but this finger..”.

Qiao Liang followed the doctor's gaze only to see the finger rotting after a long soak in the sea water. In an instant, Qiao Liang felt unable to breathe as if his heart was squeezed by a huge hand. He thought that perhaps his heart would never live in this life. It died with him.

After a while, Qiao Liang said in a hoarse voice, "I'll handle it."

Even if it was just one finger, he would carry it. Seeing the doctors carefully inserting fingers into the box, Qiao Liang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Don't tell this to anyone, including Qin Xinying. Besides, keep looking. I should know of its existence, even if we have to search the entire Pacific Ocean!”

Qiao Liang did not know how he had returned to his room. As soon as she walked in, she lay on the bed, holding a box containing Tang Xi's fingers. He looked at the ceiling with teary eyes, and smiled desperately. She gently stroked the box as if she was caressing Tang Xi's face and said in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Xi, I finally hold your hand again. How many years have you not let me hold your hand? I forget how many years it has been. Five years…? It's been a long time ..." A single tear fell from the corner of her eye and she said, "But why in a situation like this do I end up holding your hand again? I don't want this. Come back."

This cold man, this cold-blooded business man, curled up in bed like a child. He held the small square box while shouting in pain.

“Xiao Xi, I love you. I've not had a chance to tell you. Did you hear me? I love you, so please come back soon, okay?”

The man closed his eyes and buried his head in his hands. "I really miss you. Don't die, please.”

Hearing the painful cry inside, a black-clothed man standing outside the door wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. 'Oh, that's so touching! I did not expect Young Master to have such a soft heart. I hope Miss Tang doesn't die ...'

But it seems impossible. No one can survive a plane crash! What a poor man!

It was at this moment that a woman came running, and the man immediately stepped forward to stop her. 'Young Master is still crying. He certainly didn't want anyone to know this. If he finds out I heard him cry, he might kill me to silence me!’ At the thought of this, the man said seriously, “Nona Qin, our young master is sleeping. Please come back.”

With a cold face, Little Five said very seriously, "Miss Qin, there is no news of Miss Tang. Young Master is tired. He's resting now. Please come back.”

Qin Xinying shook her head, and tears kept flowing from her eyes as she said, "You lied to me, right? Is Xixi dead?”

Little Five sneered, “I don't know. Isn't Young Master still looking for him?"

Qin Xinying widened her eyes and looked at Little Five as if she was severely disadvantaged. “Little Five, for many years, every time you ask Xixi information to me, I give it to you. Now I just want to know some news about Xixi from your young master. I can't?”

Little Five smiled. "Then you should ask our Young Master."

"Then get out of the way and I'll ask him."

Little Five did not move. “Sorry, our Young Master is sleeping. He didn't want to see anyone!"

"You!"

Little Five looked at Qin Xinying expressionlessly and said coldly, "Miss Qin, please leave."

Qin Xinying stood there for quite a while before turning around. Seeing the dejected figure of Qin Xinying, Little Five frowned and muttered to herself, "How could this woman know Miss Tang was involved in a plane crash here?"

Inside the room, hearing the noise outside, Qiao Liang returned to his usual apathy. He carefully placed the square box beside the bed, went to the bathroom and rinsed himself with water as if the water could rinse away the pain in his heart, but only he himself knew that standing under the shower, the suffocation made him feel very close to death, very close to Tang Xi.

She knew she was only deceiving herself by telling herself that Tang Xi was not dead. He knew he could not live when he heard the news. He had been lying to himself for the past two months, thinking that this could ease his pain, but the pain was still very deep.

Qiao Liang shouted in pain and punched the glass mirror. The mirror cracked and his hand was cut off by the glass, and soon bright red blood flowed from his hand and mixed into the water in the bathroom.

As if he did not feel any pain, he crouched down and cried miserably with his head in hand.

On the other hand, Tang Xi crouched down in front of her computer, hesitating. Finally, she made up her mind, opened her computer and went into her email box, which was Tang Xi's exclusive email box whose password only she knew. Only Qiao Liang and Empire Group management knew of the existence of this email box.

He had a premonition that Qiao Liang might know about his death, and that the news was about to come out, so he had to prove that he was still alive in order to not bring disaster to the Empire Group.
