Chapter 551: Chapter 551: The Cold Wind Pierces Through, Chilling to the Bone
He Jingyao closed his eyes and murmured softly, “Shut up.”
Li Bo’s hands trembled as he drove, clenching his teeth tightly, ultimately he couldn’t bear to continue to stress the facts that everyone had already confird.
They had arrived at Wanhe Qianfeng Garden.
He Jingyao got out of the car and walked into the front courtyard.
In a daze, he seed to see a soft and delicate figure rushing towards him eagerly, her face filled with surprise.
She always seed to do so, even if they had been apart for just a few hours, whenever she saw him again, her eyes were full of surprise, bright enough to drive away all the gloom.
This woman… loved him so purely and straightforwardly, crystal clear to the core.
He Jingyao instinctively stretched out his arms, ready to catch her, but he embraced only air.
Only the icy wind made his heart grow colder by the inch.
Zhixi.
He moved his lips, whispering softly.
“Jingyao…”
A soft and coquettish voice seed to echo in his ears, but when he opened his eyes, all he saw was the empty front hall.
He Jingyao suddenly felt his chest beco empty as well, the cold wind piercing through, chilling to the bone.

One month later.
The President and the First Lady were discharged from the hospital and reappeared before the public.
The explosion that had captured worldwide attention was eventually defined as a terrorist attack. President Cheng Youlin issued a special speech regarding this, mourning his daughter whom he had only recently reunified with, besides declaring a resolve to pursue the case to the end.
After finishing the speech, Cheng Youlin returned to the President Mansion. His body had not yet fully recovered, and a simple speech left him drained and sweating profusely.
Chu Jinyu personally wiped the sweat from his forehead, staying silent.
In just three months, she had lost a lot of weight, appearing to have aged ten years all at once.
“Ayue,” Cheng Youlin looked at her, his voice very sad, “it wasn’t .”
Chu Jinyu shuddered!
“I know you suspect , but… it truly wasn’t ,” Cheng Youlin said with a wry smile, “Besides, you were also in the car at that ti, how could I take such a risk?”
Chu Jinyu moved her lips, shaking her head with a bitter smile, “I know it couldn’t be you.”
After all, he was the President. If he found Zhixi displeasing, there were countless ways to eliminate her, not choosing the most foolish one.
“But you still can’t help suspecting , right?” Cheng Youlin gave a self-deprecating laugh, “Just like you’ve always believed that I sent Gu Bingjun to Country S to die…”
Chu Jinyu’s hands trembled, her complexion pale as paper, “Stop talking…”
“You’ve resented for twenty years, hated for twenty years,” Cheng Youlin’s tone was calm, “Won’t you even give a chance to explain before sentencing to death?”
“I…”
“It was Gu Bingjun’s own request at that ti, I even tried to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen,” Cheng Youlin’s eyes carried a hint of sorrow, “Maybe he couldn’t bear being second to , having as a rival must have been a huge pressure. From that perspective, it makes sense that you hate , I indeed indirectly caused his death. But I never wanted him to die.”
“Stop talking…” Chu Jinyu was overwheld with sadness, “It wasn’t you who killed him, it was . Even Zhixi, it was who ruined her!”
