CHAPTER 531: CHAPTER 531: THE LOVE THAT IS ABOUT TO PASS

Lin Shuhan looked at Guan Beihai with a strange expression.

"If you’re going to lie to me, at least come up with a better excuse. I’ll give you some time to think it over?"

"I really didn’t lie to you. Wasn’t my body sent for cremation by you and Mom together?"

Guan Beihai gave a bitter smile.

"Wasn’t that a fake arranged by your department?"

"How could that be a disguise? Faking can’t go to such an extent. I’m just a minor JD cop, not a state-level secret agent. You should watch less TV."

Hearing Guan Beihai say this, Lin Shuhan finally had some doubts.

Unless you prove it to me.

"Try taking a photo of me with your phone," Guan Beihai suggested.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuhan quickly took out her phone and directly pointed the camera at Guan Beihai.

Before she raised her hand, she smiled and said,

"I’ll take a picture of you so you can see how shabby you look now."

But as soon as her gaze shifted to the phone, she was stunned.

Because in her camera lens, there was no sign of Guan Beihai.

She quickly looked away, only to find Guan Beihai still standing there, smiling at her.

She rubbed her eyes hard, looked at the phone again, but the lens was still empty, while in reality, Guan Beihai stood right in front of her, even spinning around with open arms.

"Did I... really see a ghost?" Lin Shuhan muttered.

"Yes, I’m a ghost now, but you shouldn’t be afraid," Guan Beihai quickly said.

"Why should I be afraid? You are my husband, you... you..."

Lin Shuhan’s words trailed off because tears had already wet her eyelids.

At that moment, it felt like she had fallen from Heaven into Hell.

Guan Beihai gave her hope, only to cruelly shatter it.

She had imagined countless possibilities, but none of them included Guan Beihai being a ghost; she always thought he was still alive.

Guan Beihai, full of pity, stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"That’s also why I didn’t want to see Mom; I gave you hope but also brought you disappointment again. You’ve suffered once before, why suffer a second time?"

Hearing this, Lin Shuhan angrily raised her fist and hit Guan Beihai’s chest.

"So you want me to suffer, don’t you? Do I owe you? Why did you come back? Why did you let me see you... sob... sob..."

Lin Shuhan burst into tears. Guan Beihai stood helplessly by her side, wanting to comfort her but remembering she had mentioned how dirty he was.

"You’re such a big fool."

Lin Shuhan took the initiative to embrace Guan Beihai, her tears soaking the front of his shirt, but the moment they soaked, they magically vanished.

As she cried, she watched this miraculous sight.

After all, Lin Shuhan was not an ordinary woman. She was the wife of a police officer and a police officer herself, so she quickly calmed down.

"You said you didn’t want Mom to suffer more, so you didn’t want to see her. But I know you’re not someone who would want me to suffer. Is there something important you want to tell me?"

After more than ten years together, from dating to marriage, Lin Shuhan knew him better than Guan Beihai himself.

Upon hearing this, Guan Beihai was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "It’s because of Fang Zhipeng."

Listening to this, Lin Shuhan showed a bit of embarrassment.

After Guan Beihai’s death, she had gotten close to Fang Zhipeng, and she thought Guan Beihai was jealous because of this.

"You... listen to my explanation. You know, Zhipeng and I have known each other since childhood. Your death hit me hard, he... he saw me sad, so..."

The more Lin Shuhan explained, the more she felt she couldn’t make herself clear.

Did she not know why Fang Zhipeng was good to her?

She actually knew. If Guan Beihai hadn’t died, she would have definitely kept her distance, and she had done that for so many years, with basically no contact between them.

But Guan Beihai was dead, and she was still alive. Life must go on, and the best way to forget an old relationship is to start a new one.

Fang Zhipeng had liked her for many years, and she knew it. Besides, Fang Zhipeng was from a good family background and had done well for himself. If she were really to marry someone, he would undoubtedly be a good choice.

Of course, this was just a deeply buried thought in Lin Shuhan’s mind. After all, it hadn’t been long since Fang Zhipeng passed away, so she couldn’t forget him quickly. Even if they did end up together, it wouldn’t be so fast.

But now, being pointed out by Guan Beihai, she felt caught in the act, feeling both embarrassed and ashamed, as if wishing she could disappear on the spot.

She wasn’t a bad woman; she had her own moral standards, which is why she felt ashamed.

Seeing this, Guan Beihai couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy, but he also understood that the paths of the living and the dead were separate.

It was impossible for him to expect Lin Shuhan to remain a widow for him her whole life. That would be too selfish. Her future was long, and she should have a better life, not tie her life to a dead person like him.

So Guan Beihai sighed deeply and took Lin Shuhan’s slightly bewildered hands.

Lin Shuhan lowered her head, a bit afraid to look at him.

"I’m not blaming you. I’m dead; it’s only right for you to find someone to rely on..."

"No, I... I have no such plans right now because you are still in my heart. I love you..."

Lin Shuhan interrupted Guan Beihai, looking up with tears already covering her cheeks.

At this moment, she felt both ashamed and sorrowful.

"Listen to me," Guan Beihai said, gazing at her.

Lin Shuhan choked back her tears and nodded.

"The reason I came to see you is not out of jealousy for your relationship with Fang Zhipeng but because Fang Zhipeng is not a good person," Guan Beihai said seriously.

Lin Shuhan wiped her tears, obviously a bit skeptical because they had grown up together, and both families had a good relationship. How could she not know what kind of person Fang Zhipeng was? Despite some minor flaws, she couldn’t believe he was a bad person.

Guan Beihai knew that with just a simple statement, Lin Shuhan wouldn’t be convinced, but since he was already dead and had no concrete evidence to provide, he could only tell her everything he knew. What decision Lin Shuhan would ultimately make, he left to fate.

"Do you know how I died?" Guan Beihai asked in return.

"Wasn’t it because your identity was exposed? Could it be Fang Zhipeng?" Lin Shuhan had guessed some things already.

Guan Beihai nodded, "Fang Zhipeng ran into me and revealed my identity, which led to my being killed by criminals..."

Guan Beihai didn’t finish, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Shuhan.

Seeing Lin Shuhan’s face turn pale, then show anger, Guan Beihai felt a mix of satisfaction and melancholy.

The satisfaction came from Lin Shuhan believing his words; the melancholy because they were worlds apart now, their fates had ended.

"Did he do it on purpose or accidentally?" Lin Shuhan asked.

"What do you think?" Guan Beihai replied with a question.
