Lin Qing retracted his gaze: "It's okay. It just feels a little different from what I imagined."
It turned out that this person was the one who hit Lu Xiao.
Mu Li did not take Lin Qing too close, and stopped three meters away from the man. The perpetrator was tied to a chair and could not move. His face was covered with blood and hair, which made him look even more miserable. He looked up and stared at Lin Qing.
The woman in front of me should be Mu Li’s wife.
"Ask if you have anything to ask." The perpetrator smiled coldly and sat motionless on the chair. He knew very well why Lin Qing came here despite the late night.
Lin Qing's eyelashes cast a shadow, and she held Mu Li's hand with a little force: "Why did you hit her?"
"Why?" The perpetrator snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Mu Li, "That woman deserves to die. If I don't hit her, someone else will."
The car accident was downplayed, and Lin Qing frowned unhappily.
"What makes you say she deserves to die? What did she do to make you hit someone?" Lin Qing raised her voice and clenched her fists. Seeing the offender lying on the chair with injuries all over his body, she still wanted to rush up and punch him twice more, "Or did someone else ask you to hit someone?"
Lin Qing wasn't referring to Mu Li, but Mu Li's face still darkened. He didn't want to see Lin Qing like this. She must be feeling very uncomfortable when she clenched her fists in anger.
The perpetrator spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, staring at the two people in front of him with a half-smile, and his voice suddenly became a little strange: "Hasn't Commander Mu told you yet?"
Mu Li put one hand in his trouser pocket, his tall figure cast a slender shadow under the light. Hearing this, he frowned.
"What do you want him to tell me?" Lin Qing's heart tightened and his speech speed unconsciously accelerated, "I'm asking you now, why did you hit someone!"
She almost shouted the last sentence.
She seldom spoke loudly, and it was even rarer for her to scream like this. There was nothing else in the warehouse except a few metal boxes placed around. Her voice echoed through the empty space, making people tremble over and over again.
The perpetrator sneered, his eyes wandering between Lin Qing and Mu Li. He was sure that Mu Li would not give any explanation, and his tone became more and more sarcastic: "I am a subordinate of Commander Mu, and I was of course following his orders to hit people. But I didn't expect him to be so cruel and now he wants to kill me."
It is good to drive them all away, but it is uncertain whether they will be completely killed.
Lin Qing's shoulders trembled slightly, and they trembled even more violently when he was held in Mu Li's arms. Mu Li's eyes were sharp. He took out his pistol, loaded it quickly, and pointed it at the heart of the perpetrator without hesitation.
"I'll lend you ten times the courage. Say what you just said again." Mu Li's voice was cold and everyone who heard it was frightened.
The subordinates guarding the four corners of the warehouse were shocked when they saw this. The man tied to the chair had been on missions with them before, but now he looked very unfamiliar with the scarred face. How did their former partner become like this today
The perpetrator has refused to speak since he was found. Not to mention who ordered him to do it, he even kept silent about the accident scene. It turned out that he was waiting here. If he had spoken before, it would have been recorded and the plan would have failed.
As long as he insisted that it was Mu Li who did it, no matter how much anyone said, it would be useless. If he died, there would be no evidence. If he didn't die, the truth of this matter would be buried forever.
Lin Qing almost bit her lips, she didn't want to hear another word, the blood in her body was flowing backwards. After a shudder, Lin Qing's eyes fell on the gun raised by Mu Li.
"Say it again? I'll give you the same answer even if you say it ten times. Commander Mu, I've been through life and death with you for so many years. I agreed to hit someone even though I knew it was a personal grudge. Why are you shooting me now just for a woman?"
Every word he said was cruel and ruthless, and every word pierced into Mu Li's heart.
He was indeed Mu Li's subordinate, but that was only in the past. When Mu Li found him in this abandoned warehouse and questioned him countless times without getting any results, he knew that this person was no longer his subordinate.
"Who ordered you to hit that person?" A chill spread across Mu Li's lips. Looking at the person he had cultivated for so long, he still avoided the word "bribe".
"Instigated?" The perpetrator stared at the black muzzle of the gun and accurately estimated that it was aimed at his heart. "Wasn't what I just said clear enough?"
"You're lying!" Lin Qing interrupted with a shout, breaking free from Mu Li's embrace and pointing at the man, "Tell me! What's going on!"
She would never believe that it was Mu Li who sent someone to do it.
Absolutely impossible...
The perpetrator looked at Lin Qing, his face pale from excessive blood loss: "Do you know why he asked me to hit someone? Because that woman seduced him and wanted to use that ring to sow discord between you! He knew very well that if he didn't get rid of her, there would be more trouble in the future!"
Lin Qing's face lost all color and her lips trembled slightly. The perpetrator stared at her and laughed. His laughter was so sharp and piercing that it seemed to burst her eardrums.
"Impossible... You're talking nonsense!" Lin Qing was shaking all over.
She didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Lu Xiao was that kind of person!
"I'm talking nonsense?" The perpetrator just found it funny and nodded his chin in the direction of Mu Li, "Ask your man if I'm talking nonsense!"
Lin Qing couldn't believe it, and quickly turned around to grab Mu Li's arm. As long as she saw him, she would feel at ease. He would definitely not lie to her. But the pair of black eyes that met hers were filled with cruelty and indifference.
"Mu Li?" Every word she uttered was trembling. The slender fingers that were holding his arm tightened again and again, and where her nails passed, blood-red marks were left on his arm.
Mu Li didn't even raise his eyebrows.
Seeing this, the perpetrator sneered: "Look, even he is silent, don't you believe what I said? I heard that the woman had a good relationship with you, so now that you know it was your man who wanted to kill her, are you feeling good?"
Lin Qing suddenly put her hands close to her ears, lowered her head and hugged it tightly. She didn't want to hear another word from this person, not even a single sound!
"Stop talking! Shut up! Stop talking!"
Lin Qing was enraged. Her anger and sadness spread throughout the warehouse. She couldn't wait to get an answer, but in the end she heard something that was the most unacceptable to her.
Mu Li kept holding the gun, and sparks were bursting in his dark eyes.
"Shut up!"
The perpetrator had no intention of stopping, and his laughter echoed in every corner of the warehouse. He stared at Lin Qing and spoke every word loud and clear. Even if she covered her ears, she could still hear: "Don't you know? Your man sent someone to kill that woman again two days ago. I heard that she has been missing for two days. I'm afraid she is in danger now and died in his hands!"
bump!
There was a sudden gunshot in the warehouse. Lin Qing only saw a flash of fire before his eyes, and in an instant the bullet pierced the perpetrator's heart.
The perpetrator's eyes flashed with astonishment for a moment, and his body swayed a few times on the chair: "Even if you kill me... it can't cover up the fact that you sent me to hit someone..."
The smoke from the muzzle of the gun slowly dissipated like fog, and the perpetrator's eyes, which were wide open with fear, gradually lost focus and finally closed.
The warehouse suddenly became quiet. None of the subordinates guarding the four corners dared to speak. They all watched their former comrades die before their eyes.
Lin Qing opened his lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Is he... dead?"
Mu Li’s silence is the best answer.
Lin Qing stood still, unable to move as if nails were driven into her feet. Her whole body was stiff and cold.
The man tied to the chair died, but she could still clearly remember every word he said while laughing wildly...
No... Impossible... This will never happen!
She suddenly remembered how unusual Mu Li had been two days ago. He was surprisingly gentle to her, his kiss, his eyes, every doting move of his...
He had never been that close to her since he lost his memory!
Why? Did he really want to kill Lu Xiao? That was her friend, a rare and intimate friend...
Lin Qing stared blankly ahead, her eyes filled with emptiness. The light above her head was only half on, and the depths of the warehouse were dark beyond the reach of the light. It seemed as if no one could dispel the darkness, and the endless darkness spread and surrounded her.
As long as he explained, she would believe him, but he never explained anything from beginning to end. Why did he shoot, why was he so eager to kill that person, and what did that person's last words mean...
"Lin Qing, look at me!" Mu Li shook her shoulders, his pupils suddenly tightened.
Lin Qing's eyes were dull, and the corners of his lips raised a faint smile: "Tell me, Lu Xiao is not that kind of person... Tell me, you didn't send anyone to kill her..."
She just wanted an answer, no matter if it was true or false. She just wanted to hear him say it himself, that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Lin Qing!" Mu Li couldn't bear to see her like this. He held her shoulders and could feel her whole body trembling.
"Commander, the lady doesn't look well, why don't you take her back first?" The adjutant had been guarding the door since a while ago, and he was a little worried when he saw the situation.
Mu Li glanced at him coldly and agreed with a wink. The adjutant immediately took people to clean up the chair in the middle of the warehouse.
Lin Qing couldn't move a step, and her eyes became empty as she looked at Mu Li. Mu Li simply picked her up and held her waist firmly with his strong arms.
"No! Let me go!" Lin Qing suddenly kicked her legs, refusing to let Mu Li hold her steady. Mu Li frowned, looking at Lin Qing with a gloomy face.
"Lin Qing, stop making trouble. You need to rest now." He shouldn't have shot in front of Lin Qing. God knows how scared she would be at that moment!
Mu Li looked at her empty eyes, his heart suddenly tightened, and he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"No...don't!" The heat on her lips woke Lin Qing up, and she clenched her teeth.
Mu Li let her go, and a fishy taste came to his thin lips.
"Lin Qing, it's okay, everything is okay." Mu Li leaned over to her ear, his voice gentler than ever.
He tried to comfort her again and again, but Lin Qing's eyes remained lifeless and empty.
Why is he so gentle
"I want to see Lu Xiao..." When Mu Li carried her to the door of the warehouse, Lin Qing's lips moved, "Mu Li, I want to see her."
The person just now said that Lu Xiao had another accident two days ago. How is that possible
