My Youth Began With Him

Chapter 2983 The Killer Maniac Lu Yan 3

To tell the truth, Su Yu was trembling inside as he walked toward the body.

He was fearful that the body was Huo Mian’s.

But at the same time, he was eager to see it; if he found it wasn’t Huo Mian’s body, it meant Huo Mian could still be alive.

At this moment, all kinds of feelings swarmed up inside Su Yu; he had taken only dozens of steps, but he felt as if one century had passed.

“Su Yu.” Standing beside the body, Tang Chuan saw Su Yu and greeted him.

Nodding, Su Yu forced himself to walk over.

“I saw the body already but couldn’t see anything I can recognize because the face is ruined. You take a look…” Tang Chuan reached out to pull up the white sheet.

Su Yu immediately stopped him.

“Wait for a second…”

“What? You can’t bear to see it?” Tang Chuan spoke Su Yu’s mind without thinking.

Su Yu glared at him. “Does Qin Ning know you’re here to identify the body?”

“Of course not. The lady cries her eyes out each day; if she knew we found the body, she’d die of grief…”

“Good. Don’t tell them about the body; I think it might not be Huo Mian,” Su Yu said it to comfort himself.

“But what if it was her?” Tang Chuan asked inconsiderately.

“F*ck off! Don’t be a doomsayer!”

“I’m not a doomsayer. Su Yu, we all saw my sister-in-law Huo Mian fall down the cliff, so we must be prepared emotionally. I know you can’t accept the fact yet, and to tell you the truth, I can’t either. After all, I chatted with her over dinner just a few days ago, and now suddenly she is dead. It’s hard to accept, but sometimes fate is cruel and won’t stop happening just because you can’t accept it.” Tang Chuan coped with the whole thing calmly and objectively.

But Su Yu knew Tang Chuan wasn’t a heartless man; he had said the words not because he was indifferent or not close to Huo Mian.

After all, with most of them devastated by this turn of event, some must remain calm to handle the following issues.

“I know. I understand.” Su Yu lowered his head in distress.

“Young Master Su, you can identify it now and see if this body is the person you’re looking for,” the captain of the rescue team walked over and said to Su Yu respectively.

“Okay.”

Exhaling deeply, Su Yu reached out and pulled up the white sheet covering the body with a shaky hand.

For one instant, he felt his heart stop.

When he was in the army, he had never been as fearful as now, even during the military exercises with real ammunitions.

But at this moment, he was frightened.

He was afraid that this body was Huo Mian’s and his last hope would be gone.

When the white sheet was pulled up, Su Yu and Tang Chuan looked down.

The body was indeed unrecognizable probably because it had soaked in the seawater for a long time.

It looked bloated and didn’t have any jewelry on any part of the body, including the neck.

Su Yu remembered Huo Mian didn’t wear any jewelry when she jumped.

It’s sad the only jewelry on her, a Bulgari necklace, had been taken and dumped by Huo Siqian.

So, at first glance, the body seemed to be Huo Mian’s in this regard.

“I can’t identify it like this since there’s nothing I can identify with. Let’s get a DNA test.”

“Um… How shall we do it? Shall we ask Zhixin or Mian’s mother to get the DNA?” Tang Chuan asked.

“No. I’ll get a hair from Pudding or Little Bean when I go back.”

“Yeah. How come I didn’t think of that?”

“Because you’re a moron,” Su Yu scorned him.

Tang Chuan continued, “Su Yu, I don’t think this body looks like Mian’s. What do you think?”
