"Yes, ma'am, I am sorry for your loss . "
"We are so sorry for what happened to him . "
. . .
Others joined in to comfort her .
Qin Zhi'ai did not seem to hear them as she absent-mindedly stared at the river without any movement .
Someone became frustrated with her stubbornness so he spoke a little harshly . "Miss, you can continue to search for him if you want . We cannot stay here any longer . "
Qin Zhi'ai battered her eyelashes then quietly turned around to take a look at the man who spoke . Her absent-minded look turned into a serious one and with a hoarse voice, she stubbornly replied, "You guys can leave . "
They were all shocked because they did not think she would say that .
Qin Zhi'ai did not care about them being surprised . She looked away from them and looked up at the sky, which had already brightened a bit . She blinked a few times before she said determinedly, "I am not leaving . I am going to stay here and keep looking for him . He told me he had something to tell me . I must find him . "
Qin Zhi'ai's eyes turned red again . "I have something to tell him, too . We made a promise, so I have to find him . He told me he would see me later . It's only been twelve hours, which isn't a long time . I can still wait, for 120 hours, even for 1,200 hours . I will always wait for him . . . "
Tears streamed down her cheeks and she tried to curl up her mouth . Her voice trembled as she slowly said, "I will wait until he shows up and I believe he will . " It sounded like Qin Zhi'ai said it only to encourage herself .
After she spoke, she lifted her hand to wipe the tears away from her face and slowly got to her feet . "Even if all of you give up on him, I cannot . If I also gave up on him, he would have no one caring for him . "
She remembered what he murmured to her after he had helped Qin Yang capture the criminal and got drunk that night .
She had felt bad for him as she hugged him and made a promise .
She had told him he still had her .
"If you guys want to leave, you can, but I am not leaving . I will stay as long as it is necessary . If I cannot find him within a day, I will stay here for a day . If I cannot find him within two days, I will stay here for two days . If I can never find him, I will stay here forever . I am not going to give up on him because I told him he had me . "
After being worried and scared for the whole night, Qin Zhi'ai suddenly calmed down by some miracle .
She walked along the river to start searching again as she murmured, "No matter what, I am not going to leave . I would never believe he has died if I could not find his body . As long as I do not see his body, there must be a chance that he is still alive . If you guys want to leave, you can leave . I have to see him either alive or dead no matter what . "
Even if her throat was sore from screaming Gu Yusheng's name the whole night, she still called his name repeatedly . "Gu Yusheng, Gu Yusheng, Gu Yusheng…"
A policeman near her disappointedly shook his head as he watched her from behind .
Some of the crew were so tired that they decided to leave after struggling with the idea .
After one left, there were more people who followed suit, leaving one after another . At the end, the middle-aged policeman stood up and left as well .
Only Qin Zhi'ai remained by the river . She adamantly continued screaming Gu Yusheng's name . She screamed so much that her voice became hoarse and she could barely make any sound . Suddenly, she heard a weak voice . "Little troublemaker…"
