If Qin Chuan were here, he would realize how absurd his mistake was and would not have allowed this woman to take advantage of him and scheme for benefits.
Because three months ago, this woman in front of him was thoroughly kicked out by Weng Quan.
And it was precisely this meek, obedient, gentle woman who stood with her hands on her hips and cursed outside Weng Quan's laboratory for four full hours.
Truly desperate, she had considered returning to her ex-husband's home. However, upon returning, she discovered that the place was already abandoned. Upon asking the housekeeper, she learned that her husband had sublet the house shortly after she left, and she had absolutely no clue where he went afterward.
She had originally intended to go to her husband's company to beg him to take her in.
But after standing there for an hour, she couldn't recall the name of her husband's laboratory, what he researched, or where it was located.
Human nature seems to be to reminisce amidst constant loss.
However, they never learn from the things they lose, repeating the cycle.
Thus, endlessly, without rest.
Just like the eldest daughter of the Gu family, who only realizes who truly cared for her when filled with regret.
But no matter how much she repented now, the man she once detested would not return.
"If my information is correct, you came from a relief shelter."
Qin Chuan's gaze was like a sharpened blade, "What, did Xia Jin give you something to stir up trouble here?"
The woman's eyes were filled with panic, her gaze darting around nervously as if searching for something.
Qin Chuan understood the woman's demeanor immediately.
"What, looking for your companion?"
"I heard you were once the eldest daughter of the Gu family? Was it because you betrayed your former partner by colluding with Weng Quan, only to be used and then kicked aside by him? Now, for money, you have no dignity left? To get Weng Quan's body back, you'd stoop this low?"
This was also because Qin Chuan had received an anonymous email on his way, detailing the events between Weng Quan and this woman.
Only then did Qin Chuan learn about this matter concerning Weng Quan. He had initially been troubled about how to deal with this woman, but now he had a new idea.
As long as she was here for profit, there was room for negotiation. If she were truly Weng Quan's lover, madly in love with him, wanting nothing but his remains, she would be harder to handle.
Even though it was now the apocalypse, for the sake of public humanity and education.
On the surface, the lighthouse maintained a certain institutional order.
No one could break this rule beforehand.
No matter the internal strife, the higher-ups would not tolerate anyone breaking these superficial laws in front of everyone.
And under the constraint of these laws, after Weng Quan's death, his body could indeed be taken by his relatives, friends, or colleagues for proper burial.
"Crying here, frankly, is useless. Xia Jin told you nothing, did he? You don't even know why so many people are fighting over a corpse."
The woman remained silent. Though still sobbing softly, only she knew it was just for show. Who could really cry for two hours? She clutched a bottle of human tears. Whenever her tears were about to dry up, she would dab the handkerchief with the tears and wipe her eyes.
And so, another rain of sorrowful tears began.
After enduring the torment of the past six months, she was no longer the young girl who would confront Xu An in the elevator, jealous and petty.
Thinking of this, she even felt a bit grateful to Weng Quan. If not for that man, she would not have completely discarded her infatuated love.
Now, her eyes could only see profit. Whoever offered a higher price, she would work for them.
Since love had led her to ruin, she would forsake love.
While Qin Chuan was appraising the woman, she was also appraising Qin Chuan.
Admittedly, everything Qin Chuan said was correct.
However, it wasn't Xia Jin who approached her. She didn't even know who Xia Jin was.
The one who approached her was a young man who looked just over 20 years old, in his prime youth, yet his eyes were full of calculation and depth.
The reward wasn't low, and compared to the past, it might not even be as much as one of her bags.
But for her, who had practically fallen into the slums, it was a considerable reward.
The task was also simple.
In a way, it was too simple.
【Get Weng Quan's body back.】
It was at that moment that the woman learned of Weng Quan's death.
She had initially thought she would be happy, or at least laugh heartily.
But upon truly learning of Weng Quan's death, she realized that she didn't hate him as much as she imagined, nor was she as carefree.
Now, she didn't even have anyone to hate.
Looking at the woman's dejected appearance, Gao Ye became somewhat impatient. Before this,
Although Weng Quan coveted power, he had no women around him. Even his subordinates would privately joke about him,
wondering if his sexual orientation was an issue.
It wasn't until later that this somewhat fallen woman, who was once glamorous, became attached to Weng Quan.
Even Gao Ye didn't know what had happened between the two of them.
In any case, Weng Quan, in a fit of rage, drove the woman away.
Following that, the news of Weng Quan's death arrived.
Gao Ye clearly didn't have much patience to listen to the woman reminisce about her story.
In all matters, it is always the case that those involved are confused, while onlookers are clear.
Stepping out of the emotional turmoil and then looking back in conjunction with Weng Quan's death.
Gao Ye felt that Weng Quan was protecting the woman in front of him.
During the months he had the woman by his side.
No one around knew of this woman's existence.
Weng Quan hadn't even told anyone her name.
But none of this concerned Gao Ye.
He didn't care whether the woman loved or hated Weng Quan.
He only knew that if he couldn't handle the task assigned by Xia Jin, his own life might be forfeit.
"Do you agree or not? These relief shelters lack everything except women. I'm only considering you because you truly had a relationship with Weng Quan, and your act would be more convincing. It's not like you're indispensable. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else. Don't waste everyone's time."
Having said that, Gao Ye turned as if to leave.
As soon as he turned, his sleeve was gently pulled by a pair of bony arms.
"I'll do it."
People must survive.
