Chapter 83 The So-Called Self-Deception

Chapter 69 The So-Called Self-Deception

"I underestimated him again..."

This was Li Muchen's answer after telling Tony that Hu Qianyu was about to recover.

Tony was smiling when he said this.

Li Muchen specially flew to Malaysia from Singapore to meet Tony at this rehabilitation center. Firstly, he wanted to report to him the operation status of Universal for this month, and secondly, he had selfish intentions and wanted to test Tony's future plans. What will happen.

The car that crashed into Hu Qianyu was an ordinary hatchback. The impact was not strong, but the speed was very fast. Hu Qianyu underwent major surgery and is still under observation in the hospital.

After being in the hospital for zero days and nights, Li Muchen visited her, seeing how she took care of Hu Qianyu in every detail, Li Muchen finally understood that he would never get this woman again.

However, Tony's words at this time gave him a lot of doubts.

Li Muchen is not quite sure whether the "he" mentioned by Tony refers to Hu Qianyu.

"Hu Qianyu can escape this catastrophe, maybe you should let it go. Even if it is, it is for zero."

Regarding Li Muchen's suggestion, he was noncommittal. After a while, he restrained his smile and looked at me regretfully: "One thing I liked about you before was that you have sincerity towards Wei Ling, but now I want to advise you to stop Sincerely. My foolish daughter, there is no cure for her."

Li Muchen couldn't give him a suitable smile, and only responded in a formulaic tone: "I'm sorry, this is my personal matter."

There is no need for him to intervene in the matter between him and Lin Weiling - Tony should have heard it clearly.

Regarding this issue, Tony didn't go into it any further. He just propped himself up and sat up with difficulty. He tried to reach the wheelchair beside the hospital bed, but after several failed attempts, he stretched out his hand to Li Muchen: "Help me." I'm in a wheelchair."

Li Muchen paused, then stepped forward quickly, came to the bedside, and helped him onto the wheelchair.

He motioned to Li Muchen to push him to the window.

Li Muchen complied.

Tony looked out the window, and didn't know what he was looking at. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "I can tell you that this car accident has nothing to do with me."

Li Muchen was originally looking out the window, and was stunned for a moment, but now hearing this, he retracted his gaze from the sky outside the window in astonishment, and looked at Tony in disbelief.

As far as Li Muchen knew, Wei Ling called Tony shortly after Hu Qianyu's accident.Tony didn't make any quibbles at the time, and he almost had a tacit attitude towards all this.

He couldn't help but recall Tony's sentence just now: I underestimated him again...

Li Muchen had a very bad association, hesitated for a long time, and asked in a stiff voice: "You mean, Hu Qianyu's car accident was actually caused by himself..."

Tony interrupted Li Muchen's words, his tone was almost approving, but it still sounded chilling: "I'm glad I didn't misjudge anyone again. You're much smarter than my zero."

Now that Tony has reached this point, there is no need to hide anything anymore, and there is no need for Li Muchen to doubt the truth of what he said.However, the answer Tony gave him was too shocking.

However, Li Muchen's heart was overflowing with doubts, and at this moment it was getting deeper and deeper: "Why didn't you tell me to be zero?"

If the truth is as Tony said, then because of Hu Qianyu's accident, almost zero collapsed, how pitiful it would be?
For the sake of a man, she gave up Universal, which was at her fingertips, and she did not hesitate to completely turn against Tony, but unexpectedly, this man has been playing tricks on her.

How can a person like Hu Qianyu have any sincerity?
Tony has no expression, from Li Muchen's angle, only the top of his hair, the white hairs can be seen clearly.

This man is really old...

Tony fell silent.He was noncommittal to Li Muchen's question.

"Hu Qianyu doesn't need to do this at all, unless..." Li Muchen couldn't get the answer from Tony, and could only rely on himself, bit by bit, peeling away the doubts that lingered in his heart, "...unless Hu Qianyu knows that you are still alive. .”

Working under Tony, in many cases, Li Muchen can only rely on guesswork to understand Tony's thoughts like now.Hu Qianyu and Tony, in this respect, are strikingly similar—ambiguous and unfathomable.

He still can't fully guess their thoughts.Being scheming and too tired, Li Muchen would rather ask straight-forward questions as he is doing now.

Tony stayed in Malaysia, and his scope of activities was limited to his privately owned rehabilitation center. The police had already issued a death certificate. It would be too scary for Hu Qianyu to know that Tony was a fraudulent death so soon.

"Zero, or you, someone between the two of you has leaked the secret." He said very lightly, and seemed to be bearish, with no trace of ferocity visible on his expression.

When he involved Li Muchen in this matter, Li Muchen inevitably panicked: "No, I didn't..."

Tony interrupted him embarrassingly: "Don't worry, I believe in you. Hu Qianyu is very powerful, and Ling is no match for him. Besides, women are always emotional animals. I killed a woman, and I have already learned a lesson. It's just... not long ago, after hearing what Wei Ling said, I really came to my senses."

He seemed to have been touched by some distant memories, and his expression was filled with brief pain and tenderness.

Li Muchen firmly gripped the armrest of the wheelchair, "What do you want to do next?"

Tony shook his head silently, and then seemed to be lost in thought.He didn't speak for a long time, and finally, he just slowly turned his gaze out of the window.

After careful observation, Li Muchen discovered that Tony was not actually looking at the scenery outside the window, but at the white rose on the window sill.

Li Muchen couldn't help but recall the pot of white roses in his current office, which was Tony's former president's office.

Tony seems to have a fondness for this variety of flowers.

Li Muchen didn't want to disturb him who was in deep thought, but after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't bear to speak: "If I were you, I would choose to take that crazy woman and leave here. Forever."

Tony suddenly came back to his senses, paused for a while, and said lightly, "As you said," and added after a while, "Even if it's... for zero."

************
"I may have to leave for a while." Li Muchen handed over a cup of coffee, and sat down while talking.

The light in the morning is very soft and soft, and the smell of green grass is fresh, but it still can't hide the unique cold atmosphere of the hospital.This is the second time he has come here to visit this woman.

Lin Weiling took it, and the temperature of the coffee spread to the palm of his hand.She didn't look at him, but at the leisurely patients on the hospital lawn, "Where are you going?" "England."

"How long is a period of time?"

"Probably, forever. Probably." He was also not sure, the word "probably" was repeated, with a hesitant tone.

"Never plan to come back for the rest of your life?" "In principle, this is the case, but there may be exceptions..." He looked at the side of the woman's face, gritted his teeth and did not continue.

She lowered her head in his silence, looking at the brown liquid in the glass.Only now did she understand that many things were out of her control, and more things were beyond her control, just like the man beside her at this moment, just like the man still lying on the hospital bed at this moment.

"You're gone, what will Universal do?" Her voice was a little hoarse.

She felt powerless, she had to take care of the patients, and she didn't have the mind to take care of other things.

"Actually," he withdrew his gaze, took a sip of his cup of coffee, and smiled jokingly, "Actually, I hope you will say 'what should I do if you leave'..."

Lin Weiling's eyes darkened, but fortunately he kept his head down so that no one would notice any emotion.

She answered irrelevant questions, pretending to be ignorant: "If you leave, Tony will not be afraid that I will hand over all Universal and Hengsheng to him?"

"Would you?"

"will not."

Li Muchen thinks he understands this woman, and often the two of them can understand each other's words, but this time he can't understand her, so he can only ask: "Why?"

"..."

"Are you still guarding against Hu Qianyu?" He probed, carefully concealing some resurgent throbbing in his heart.

"No, I'm afraid that if Hu Qianyu gets any benefits from me, Tony will try to deal with him again."

"These two men are both wolves. Although they are cruel, they will not hurt you."

She disdains, smiles and sneers: "Should I be grateful?"

Li Muchen was speechless.Lin Weiling like this, in his opinion, looked ferocious.

Should he tell her the truth?
No! —He shook his head to himself.

Tony has promised to let Hu Qianyu go.The secret will be hidden for a lifetime, and this woman can finally have a happy future.Unfortunately, her happiness was his despair.

After waiting for a long time, she finally dared to look back at him, "Do you want me to see you off then?"

"Need not."

"Are you still in touch later?"

"Do not."

"Sever all contact?" She still had a glimmer of hope.Once people form a certain dependence on something, they will be lucky.

She has come to depend on this man, but she doesn't realize it herself.

The paper cup in his hand was deformed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice: "I can't be hurt so many times by the same woman. Zero, I hope you can understand."

She lowered her eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "Sorry."

Her head drooped in a lonely arc, Li Muchen knew that his heart was going to soften again, so he quickly retracted his gaze and forced himself to stare straight ahead, but he was unwilling to do so because there was a big stone pressing on his heart, making it impossible to breathe. After thinking for a long time, he still opened his mouth, "I hope you don't blame..."

But his words were interrupted by the ringing of the bell in her hand.

She picked it up and said, "Okay, I'll go back right away."Then while hanging up the phone, he got up and walked towards the inpatient department. After a few steps, he remembered that there was Li Muchen beside him, and hurriedly turned around and said to him: He is awake.I am leaving.

"Goodbye." Li Muchen smiled impeccably.

His two words and his expression made her stop.

There was a taste of farewell in Li Muchen's smile, she tasted bitterness from it, but what else could she say?
would you please stay?She's not that selfish yet.

"Goodbye." After speaking briefly, she hurried away.
