Shen Lu had never expected Shen Liqing to be so determined. Having lived with Shen Liqing for so many years, he was familiar with many of Shen Liqing's habits. Shen Liqing was not usually such a decisive person, so he had initially thought that Shen Liqing would just give in. However, Shen Liqing made it clear where he stood, and it was evident from his words just a moment ago that he no longer wanted any entanglement with him. But that was simply impossible.
"What are you all staring at! In life, you must see a living person, and in death, you must see a corpse. Otherwise, if any of you dare to jump down and not come back up, I won't let you off!" Shen Lu's tone was very stern, and the thought of Shen Liqing daring to let go of his hand just made him even more furious.
He had quite a few bodyguards under his command, but he had only intended to hinder others, never to push Shen Lixing into a corner. This unexpected turn of events left him flustered and furious. He was not a patient person, especially not when it came to Shen Lixing, whom he now despised more than ever.
The river still appeared to be swift and turbulent, as if nothing had happened just now. Shen Lixing had long disappeared without a trace. Downstream, there were thickets of bushes. Shen Lixing must have followed the current to where it was blocked.
When Shen Luqing was young, Shen Lijing was a revered person to him. But now, Shen Luqing only hates himself for not discovering it earlier. He used to think that Shen Lijing was the person closest to him in this world, but now he realizes that all these years Shen Lijing has been deceiving him. Everything was just a fabrication of lies, and now Shen Lijing thinks that death can solve all problems? Shen Luqing feels that Shen Lijing is too foolish.
Shen Lu stood at the edge of the bush, growing increasingly impatient. Despite his neat appearance, his search for bodyguards had left him somewhat disheveled, covered in mud and unidentified weeds. Frowning, Shen Lu wondered why they had all returned, but Shen Liqing was nowhere to be seen.
"Boss, we've searched this place thoroughly, but we haven't found any trace of him."
One of the bodyguards spoke up. He had been following Shen Lu for over a month and had also observed the relationship between Shen Lu and Shen Liqing. Even outsiders could sense how well Shen Liqing treated Shen Lu, without any fault to be found. He didn't understand why Shen Lu treated Shen Liqing this way, considering he wasn't aware of the grievances between them. However, since Shen Lu was his boss, he could only choose to obey unquestioningly.
"A bunch of useless people! Can't even find a single person!" Shen Lu was looking at this group of people, feeling extremely annoyed. Dozens of them couldn't even find Shen Liqing, so what use were these people to him?
The burly bodyguards exchanged a glance and none of them dared to say another word. They kept their heads down, afraid to provoke this young boss, especially recently when Shen Lu's temper had become even more volatile.
Shen Lu's expression was somewhat icy, he didn't believe that Shen Liqing had died just like that. After all, no body had been found downstream. Shen Liqing must still be alive. But Shen Liqing was quite capable, so it's possible that he managed to escape.
"The time is still long, don't expect to escape my sight," Shen Lu regained his indifferent expression. As long as Shen Liqing is still in this world, he will definitely find Shen Liqing.
