Because it was evening, there were not many people around . The middle-aged policeman worried that something would happen to Qin Zhi'ai, so he rushed to lock his car before he jumped over the railing to chase after her .
She wobbled on high heels as she walked and nearly fell a few times .
The middle-aged policeman followed after her, reminding her several times to be careful . Qin Zhi'ai thought the high heels were stopping her from running quickly, so she decided to take them off and run with bare feet .
There were many solid objects on the bank that hurt her feet, however, she did not look like she felt any pain . With fire in her eyes, she moved even faster than the middle-aged policeman .
She stood on the riverside and screamed Gu Yusheng's name twice .
It was very quiet by the river at night . Aside from the sound of the rushing water and whistling wind, there were no other sounds that could be heard .
She became worried and screamed Gu Yusheng's name twice more . She then turned to walk downstream as she repeatedly screamed his name .
She had no idea how far she had walked downstream, and there were many cuts on her feet . They bled a lot, but she continued to wobble without any plans to stop .
The middle-aged policeman who followed behind her tried to convince her to stop, but she ignored him .
At this moment, Gu Yusheng was the only thing on her mind and her only goal was to find him .
She had no clue how many times she had called out his name .
It may have been a hundred times or even a thousand times . Every time she called his name, she was expecting to hear him respond with that familiar and casual "oh . " However, she was disappointed each time as she heard nothing in return .
She was afraid of being disappointed further, but the more scared she felt, the louder she screamed . After a while, her throat got so sore that her voice became very hoarse .
The middle-aged policeman received a call at midnight .
Qin Zhi'ai could tell it was a call from the search crew that the police department had sent out .
Her eyes immediately became brighter than ever . Before the middle-aged policeman finished the call, she asked, "Did they find him? Do you have any new information about him? Where is he now?"
The middle-aged policeman sort of avoided looking into Qin Zhi'ai's eyes, pausing for a while before he looked away . He said with a low voice, "Not yet . They have searched for about eight hours and they said the chances of finding him were slim . They were thinking of stopping…"
Qin Zhi'ai's body shook . She had thought there were no more tears left to cry, but suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes again . "No! How could there be no more hope? What if he is still alive? How could you give up on him?"
The search crew had been looking for eight straight hours . They were very tired and wanted to take a break . It had been a long time since he had gone missing and they feared that the chance of him still being alive was slim . By the time they located him, it could be his dead body . There would be no large difference in finding him tonight or the next day, if that were the case .
The middle-aged policeman moved his lips, but did not pass on his colleague's words to Qin Zhi'ai . He only looked at her with embarrassment .
Qin Zhi'ai could tell they wanted to call it a day . In a low pitched voice, she begged, "Please, can you continue to look for him? Maybe we can find him . Please . "
The middle-aged policeman sighed a few times at her pleading . He finally lifted his cell phone to make a call and said, "Let's look around one last time . We have been searching for so long, but let's look for him for one last round . We will see if we still cannot find him . "
