"It's true that I made the ring, but I told Lin Qing that I found it in the river." Chen Qudong seemed to be sure that Mu Li would not go to Lin Qing for an explanation, and his expression became more and more wanton. "Do you know what she said? She said it was just a ring, and don't do such dangerous things in the future."
Lin Qing cares about him more than this marriage, Chen Qudong's intention is obvious.
At that time, the man didn't believe it and only warned Chen Qudong not to dream of getting close to Lin Qing. But now, it seems that he was just dreaming.
How ridiculous. If you can say it so easily now, why did you jump into the river and kill yourself
Mu Li narrowed his eyes coldly. He suddenly became very curious. If he really did this, what would Lin Qing do? Would she get angry and leave him and never show up again
"But... except you..." Lin Qing's voice came from afar, interrupting the man's thoughts.
She was right, no one else could think of this.
In her heart, he had already done it, and it would be useless even if he showed her his heart.
Mu Li frowned slightly, his dark pupils were bottomless, and it was as if there was a violent storm and rainstorm in his eyes, but outside, it was completely silent. This kind of silence was the most frightening.
"Don't talk... Speak!" Such silence made Lin Qing feel terrified. Even an explanation would be enough, but he didn't. Her fingernails had dug deep into her palms, and a row of neat crescent-shaped marks could almost draw blood.
Lin Qing stared at Mu Li closely, her eyes wide open, afraid to miss any word he said.
Mu Li pursed his lips tightly: "If I tell you, will you believe it?" His tone was full of sarcasm.
If the charges have already been established, what's the point of him saying more
"Lin Qing, it may not be him." Lu Xiao coughed twice to break the oppressive silence, glanced at Mu Li and then looked at Lin Qing. This sentence was half comfort and half analysis. Lu Xiao calmed down and thought about it. What Mu Li said was not unreasonable.
How many people does Mu Shao have under his command? How powerful is he? If he really wants to kill Lu Xiao, would he have to go to such great lengths? Maybe someone really wants to frame him. But Lu Xiao couldn't figure out who else would do this, because apart from Mu Li, there is no other person in the world...
Lu Xiao's breathing stagnated.
When people are impulsive, they will lose all their rationality and will not turn back.
Lin Qing bit her lip, leaving a row of blood marks when she let go, and her face was shockingly pale.
A few hours ago, she was still hoping that Mu Li really had feelings for her. But, is it really impossible...
Her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and her fists clenched tightly, as if giving herself one last chance: "As long as you say no... I'll believe it."
"Okay, I'll tell you." Mu Li walked up to Lin Qing and looked down at her. His pupils tightened when he saw her painful and struggling expression. "This matter has nothing to do with me."
His slender fingers lifted Lin Qing's chin, and the next second, he clenched it tightly.
Lin Qing could see the sinister look in his eyes when she raised her head slightly. She slowly reached out her hand and touched his cold face: "As long as you say no, I will believe it..."
She didn't know who to believe, nor did she know if doing this would be unfair to Lu Xiao, but she didn't want to believe it and couldn't believe it.
With a thud, the door was pushed open. The door hit the wall behind it, leaving a light gray mark on the snow-white wall. A man suddenly appeared at the door, holding several A4 papers with color pictures printed on them, and he came in aggressively with a gloomy face.
"Why are you here again?" Lu Xiao poked his head out and rolled his eyes when he saw the person coming.
When this person comes, there will definitely be a huge chaos.
But she never imagined that her irresponsible thoughts would eventually come true.
Lin Qing had her back to the door, her hand on Mu Li's face. Mu Li lowered his head slightly, and they looked like they were kissing.
Chen Qudong strode over and pulled Lin Qing away from Mu Li before she could see who it was, and grabbed Lin Qing's wrist tightly.
"Let go..." Lin Qing raised his voice and pushed, but saw who was coming halfway through his words, "Senior?"
It was even more rare to see Chen Qudong angry, with fire in his eyes like he was now.
Lin Qing felt a pain in his wrist and tried to break free but failed repeatedly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chen Qudong's shout from above his head: "Mu Li! You are going too far!"
Mu Li seemed to have guessed this scene long ago, and curled his lips coldly: "Do you want to say that I bullied you? Sorry, I only bully others."
As he spoke, his big hand had already pulled Lin Qing back into his arms, and one hand was placed on Lin Qing's waist: "Besides, only I can touch my woman."
"Your woman?" Chen Qudong laughed out loud, and crumpled the A4 paper in his hand until it was about to break into pieces. "Is this how you treat your woman?"
Lin Qing didn't understand what the senior was talking about, and his eyes fell on the papers. The words on the papers were upside down and difficult to read, but he could clearly see a photo printed on it, which seemed to be a man's head.
In an instant, her blood began to flow backwards in her body, as if she had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
"How should I treat my woman? Do I need Mr. Chen to teach me?" Mu Li's tone was neither graceful nor emotional. His voice was calm but permeated with terrifying indifference.
"I want to teach you? I don't dare!" Chen Qudong waved the paper in his hand and threw it in front of Mu Li, "Look for yourself, who is on it!"
A piece of paper slipped in front of Lin Qing. She reached out to catch it and looked down. It was a picture of a man. The picture was a little blurry but her appearance was still recognizable. The man was dressed in black and had a cold expression on his face that only a soldier would have. At just one glance, Lin Qing felt a chill all over her body.
Lin Qing didn't recognize this person, but after looking at him carefully several times, he felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Mu Li's gaze stopped on the paper and he narrowed his eyes.
"Did you recognize him?" Chen Qudong was furious, judging Mu Li's expression, "This is your subordinate! The one who bumped into Lu Xiao that day!"
Lin Qing's body trembled uncontrollably, and she felt the man's arm around her waist retract.
"The picture is not clear enough, and I'm not even sure who it is. How can you be so sure he's mine? Also, where was the picture taken? You said he hit someone, but where's the evidence?" Mu Li sneered. It seemed that Chen Qudong had indeed made sufficient preparations to frame him.
"Stop pretending. This is a picture taken from the surveillance video of the car accident scene. I wouldn't show it to you if I wasn't sure of his identity! Mu Li, you are really amazing. You can even do that to Lin Qing's friends!" Chen Qudong became more and more angry, and suddenly clenched his fist and was about to hit Mu Li in the face.
"Be careful!" Lin Qing looked at the fist flying towards Mu Li and subconsciously pushed the man next to him. When he came to his senses, the fist was already flying towards his face.
"Lin Qing!" Chen Qudong and Lu Xiao both shouted, one in shock and the other worried.
Lin Qing was so scared that she closed her eyes, her body stiff and motionless. After waiting for a long time, the fist did not fall, Lin Qing slowly opened her eyes, and a hand came from the side to block her face, quickly and accurately blocking Chen Qudong's fist.
Chen Qudong's arm was bent and his face turned blue in pain.
"Why did the car accident happen? You should know better than me. I don't need to explain what happened to the ring." Mu Li frowned, and a little force on his palm almost broke Chen Qudong's hand. "But, if you dare to hit my woman, you are seeking death."
He had disliked Chen Qudong for more than a day or two, and today he had just crippled one of his arms.
Lin Qing had just recovered from his panic and quickly turned around to see if Mu Li was injured. When he raised his eyes, he saw the fierceness in the man's eyes.
"Mu Li, let go quickly. If you continue like this, my arm will be broken!" Lin Qing didn't want to protect anyone, he just didn't want to see anyone get hurt.
To Mu Li, these words had a different meaning: "You care about him?"
Lin Qingqing's eyebrows were already wrinkled together, and he was still thinking about the photo just now. He delayed for a second before answering: "I, I just don't want to see you hurting anyone."
Hurting someone
Mu Li smiled coldly: "You really are philanthropic."
Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Lin Qing opened his eyes slightly and blurted out: "The previous Mu Li would not be like you now."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Qing knew she had made a mistake. Mu Li was bothered by her constant mention of her past self, and she had already stepped into a minefield.
"Really? Then why are you still pestering me?" Since I am no longer the Mu Li of the past, you don't have to stay here.
"I didn't mean that, I just..." Lin Qing tried to explain but was interrupted.
Chen Qudong at the side waited for an opportunity to speak: "Lin Qing, don't believe him, he was the one who sent the people, I have evidence! He is just afraid that I will tell you, so he wants to break my hand in revenge!"
Although Chen Qudong spoke arrogantly, his face became increasingly ugly due to the pain in his wrist. If Mu Li didn't let go, his arm might really be broken.
In fact, Mu Li did not use too much force. He relaxed when Lin Qing tried to stop him. However, Lin Qing was so confused that he did not notice it at all. Instead, Lu Xiao, who was lying on the hospital bed and yawning, saw it.
The three people next to him made the atmosphere in the room full of tension. Lu Xiao didn't seem to be affected much, just looking at the drip bottle from time to time. She was really not kidding, the medicine was about to be finished. But it didn't seem appropriate to speak now.
"Oh? Evidence?" Mu Li raised his eyebrows and held the paper in front of Chen Qudong. "If I remember correctly, the surveillance video was lost after the incident. How did you get this photo?"
Chen Qudong refuted: "Why do you insist that the surveillance camera is lost? Maybe you didn't even plan to find it!"
"Did I not look for it, or did you calculate all this in advance and just wait to put on this drama so that others would think it was me who did it?" Mu Li's voice became colder and colder, and Lin Qing knew it was not a good sign.
She was confused. Although the photo the senior had taken out might be fake, she had heard the conversation between Mu Li and Lu Xiao clearly. She didn't know who to believe. She took the paper from Mu Li in a hurry and walked to the bedside: "Lu Xiao, you said before that someone got off the car to talk to you. Can you tell that it was this person?"
Mu Li behind him narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Lin Qing had heard everything that had just happened in the room.
Lu Xiao held her hand that was receiving the IV drip and straightened her body, leaning forward slightly to look at the photo. She had intended not to admit it, but when she saw the photo, her shoulders shook involuntarily. Lin Qing keenly caught the unnatural look in Lu Xiao's eyes.
