Could it be that it was because of Qin Yuan's death?
Gu Linli was also there, he said, "The matter with Qin Yuan wasn't Linhan's doing. How could he think it was Linhan and come for revenge? Being Qin Yuan's illegitimate child, he had no rights, no resources, how could he get on the boat, how could he have a gun? I feel like there's someone else planning things behind the scenes."
Xu Ke, also present, said, "Really? That's terrifying... who on earth... you must investigate Qin Chu thoroughly, he caused Linhan's death..."
As Xu Ke spoke, he lowered his head and began to cry.
"Gu Linhan is not dead."
Yu Xi stood up, staring at Xu Ke.
Xu Ke paused, wiped his tears with a tissue, and looked at Yu Xi.
"Yu Xi, I didn't mean it that way. I know you're upset, and you're right. As long as we haven't found the body, we won't admit he's dead."
That kind of comfort felt superficial. Everyone thought this was just as good as saying he's dead.
