There is a vast ocean under the cliff where Zhutianyi fell. The police salvaged it for three days and only found some wreckage of the car.

After the police made a series of assessments based on the height of the cliff and the speed of the fall, they finally concluded that Zhu Tianyi was dead.

As soon as this conclusion came out, the entire business circle caused huge turmoil.

Zhu's stock plummeted, and it fell to the limit in just one day. Although Zhu Minghou took office urgently and made a series of rescue actions, the effect was minimal.

During the past three days, the heartbroken Liu Chengcheng shut himself up at home crying to death, during which time he passed out several times.

After getting Zhu Tianyi's death certificate, she stopped crying and prepared for his funeral together with the members of the Zhu family.

……

Zhu Tianyi's funeral was held in Zhu's old house. As a widow, Liu Chengcheng held Nian Cheng's little hand and stood on the left side of the mourning hall, welcoming the guests who came to express their condolences with a sad expression.

The guests who came to express their condolences crowded the courtyard of Zhu's old house. In order to maintain order, Assistant Liu led his men to guard the entrance of the mourning hall, and only those who sang their names in order could enter to express their condolences.

"Mr. Chu Yiheng came to express his condolences." Assistant Liu's call came from the door.

Chu Yiheng wore a black suit and entered the mourning hall with a heavy expression.

He went straight to Zhu Tianyi's posthumous photo, bent down and put the chrysanthemum in his hand on the case, then lit three sticks of incense, raised his head and bowed respectfully three times.

After finishing, Chu Yiheng walked towards Liu Chengcheng, and stretched out his hands to help Liu Chengcheng and Nian Cheng who bowed down to thank him.

"Cheng Cheng, are you okay?" Chu Yiheng looked at Liu Chengcheng worriedly and asked.

Liu Chengcheng slowly raised his head to look at Chu Yiheng, nodded dumbly and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay."

It was only then that Chu Yiheng realized that Liu Chengcheng's face was frighteningly pale, his cheeks on both sides were also a little sunken, and his mental outlook looked very haggard.

His heart suddenly ached, and he asked distressedly: "Your complexion is not very good, how long has it been since you had a good rest?"

"Thank you for coming today, let's talk another day!" Liu Chengcheng avoided Chu Yiheng's gaze, did not answer his question, but issued a tactful order to expel him.

"Hey!" Chu Yiheng knew that Liu Chengcheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he didn't ask any more questions, but comforted her with unconcealed distress: "You should rest at home after work today, you don't care about your body , but also think about the child, if you fall down, the child will really have no one to take care of."

Liu Chengcheng held Nian Cheng's hand tightly, a hint of emotion flashed in his empty eyes, and his lips parted slightly: "Thank you."

"It's good that you understand in your heart, then I won't hinder you here, I'll go back today, if you encounter difficulties, you can contact me." Chu Yiheng knew that Liu Chengcheng didn't want to talk more, so he also bid farewell to her tactfully.

Liu Chengcheng nodded in agreement, and then watched Chu Yiheng leave the mourning hall.

"Mr. Deng Fangzhuo came to express his condolences."

As soon as Liu Chengcheng looked away, a familiar person came in again at the door.

Deng Fangzhuo was not familiar with Zhu Tianyi, so he came here purely because he was worried about Liu Chengcheng.

So as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Liu Chengcheng and asked her with concern: "Cheng Cheng, are you okay?"

Today is the first time they have met since their unhappy parting two years ago.

There was no emotion on Liu Chengcheng's face, she just responded blankly: "I'm fine."

"Cheng Cheng, in my eyes, I only see that you are very bad. We are friends, and you don't need to stand up in front of me." Deng Fangzhuo said worriedly to Liu Chengcheng.

There was no change on Liu Chengcheng's dull face, but she intentionally avoided Deng Fangzhuo's words, stretched out her hand and gestured towards the center and said, "You haven't gone to worship Tianyi yet."

"Oh! I almost forgot." Deng Fangzhuo responded lightly, and then walked over with a white chrysanthemum.

After Deng Fangzhuo paid homage to Zhu Tianyi according to the procedure, he returned to Liu Chengcheng again.

He reached out to help the two mother and son who were going to his luggage, and asked Liu Chengcheng, "Cheng Cheng, I can't rest assured that you are alone. I'd better stay with you, shall I?"

Liu Chengcheng frowned lightly, shook his head and refused without thinking, "No need, I'm fine."

"This is my decision." Deng Fangzhuo stepped forward and stood beside Liu Chengcheng, expressing his determination: "If you drive me away, I won't leave either."

Liu Chengcheng was exhausted physically and mentally, and she didn't have the energy to drive away Deng Fangzhuo. She just glanced at him dissatisfied, and continued to greet the guests who came in to express their condolences without saying anything.

……

As night fell, the guests who came to express their condolences finally dispersed. Tomorrow is Zhu Tianyi's funeral ceremony. Although there is no body of him, the Zhu family plans to set up a tomb for him.

After everyone had a hasty dinner, they went back to their houses to rest.

Liu Chengcheng returned to the bedroom with Nian Cheng, who had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

After she put the child on the bed, she left the bedroom. She came to the sofa in the living room and sat down, staring at the void in front of her with empty eyes, wondering what was she thinking?
Deng Fangzhuo remembered Liu Chengcheng in his heart, and he tossed and turned without falling asleep after washing.

He got up and left the guest room irritably, and walked upstairs, presumably only after confirming Liu Chengcheng's condition can he fall asleep at ease

"Cheng Cheng, why are you still sitting here? Isn't it cold?"

As soon as Deng Fangzhuo went upstairs, he saw Liu Chengcheng wearing a single shirt and sitting motionless on the sofa.

He hurriedly walked towards her, took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, and asked her worriedly.

Liu Chengcheng seemed to be trapped in his own world, still sitting motionless, as if he couldn't feel Deng Fangzhuo's existence.

Deng Fangzhuo felt something was wrong, reached out and patted Liu Chengcheng's shoulder, and called her softly: "Cheng Cheng? What's wrong with you? Blink when you hear me, Cheng Cheng?"

Liu Chengcheng still didn't respond at all, which made Deng Fangzhuo even more worried.

Deng Fangzhuo frowned and looked at Liu Chengcheng, carefully recalling her actions throughout the day.

Except that she was haggard and in a trance, her behavior was quite normal, especially when she was taking care of Nian Cheng, her performance was no different from usual.

However, Deng Fangzhuo didn't seem to see Liu Chengcheng's sad appearance, and he didn't even see her shed tears.

Today's Liu Chengcheng is like an emotionless machine, doing his job mechanically.

Perhaps, she has no love in life.

When Deng Fangzhuo thought of this, he was taken aback by his own thoughts. Looking at Liu Chengcheng's current state, he was even more sure that his thoughts were correct.

What's more, Liu Chengcheng once suffered from depression. Even if she has no thoughts of dying for the time being, it is equally serious to cause a recurrence of the disease.

I absolutely can't let Liu Chengcheng continue to maintain this state, otherwise something big will happen.

Thinking of this, Deng Fangzhuo hurried downstairs.

He grabbed a servant casually and asked, "Quick, tell me where Zhu Tianyi's room is?"

"Sir, outsiders are not allowed in the young master's room..." the servant reminded Deng Fangzhuo aloud.

Can't wait for the servant to finish speaking, Deng Fangzhuo grabbed his collar and interrupted impatiently: "He's not here anymore, what else is allowed, I didn't change clothes, go in and get some of his clothes Put on your clothes, tell me where is the room?"

Wearing the clothes of the dead, aren't you afraid of shock?

The servant looked at Deng Fangzhuo in astonishment, pointed to the second floor, "Upstairs, the innermost room on the left."

Deng Fangzhuo immediately let go of the servant, turned around and went back upstairs again.

He went straight to the door of the room pointed by the servant, pushed the door open and walked in without thinking.

Judging from the layout and furnishings, this room is undoubtedly Zhu Tianyi's room.

After Deng Fangzhuo walked around the room, he casually took two suits and shirts that Zhu Tianyi was used to wearing from the closet, then grabbed a photo frame placed on the bedside table, and strode out.

After he returned to the living room, he threw the clothes in his hands on Liu Chengcheng's head, and shouted at her: "Come and smell it, there should still be the smell of Zhu Tianyi on it, do you feel like you are here?" Did your dead heart come back to life?"

The fragrance of the clothes penetrated into Liu Chengcheng's nostrils along with a familiar smell, which gave her the illusion that Zhu Tianyi was by her side.

Her hands trembled a few times, wanting to hug the clothes covering her head.

Indeed, as Deng Fangzhuo said, Liu Chengcheng could feel his dead heart beating a few times because of this familiar smell.

"Now that Zhu Tianyi is dead, the smell on the clothes won't last for a few days, and it will only smell musty after a while." Deng Fangzhuo said this, and put the photo frame in Liu Chengcheng's hand again, Continue to stimulate her: "And this photo is the same, don't look at Zhu Tianyi's face in the photo is still clear, as time goes by, this photo will only fade, whether his appearance is in the photo or in your mind Everywhere, it will gradually become blurred, sooner or later..."

"I won't." Liu Chengcheng suddenly roared excitedly, and then her shoulders shook violently, and after a while, her throat overflowed: "Woo..."

Liu Chengcheng curled up, hugging the clothes covering his head tightly with both hands, whimpering in pain like a seriously injured little animal.

With this cry, Liu Chengcheng seemed to have found an outlet to vent his emotions. The whimpering in his throat gradually turned into a cry of pain, and finally into a roar of pain.

Deng Fangzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left silently, and gave up the space upstairs to Liu Chengcheng to vent his emotions.

The next day, Liu Chengcheng seemed to be a different person. Her empty pupils were replaced by sharpness, and the numbness on her face was also replaced by coldness.

After finishing Zhu Tianyi's funeral ceremony, Liu Chengcheng called Assistant Liu and asked about what happened before Zhu Tianyi's accident.

In the end, they all agreed that Zhu Minghou's death was planned by Zhu Minghou. Liu Chengcheng decided to join hands with Assistant Liu to take Zhu Minghou's property back with interest.
