The end of the marriage: the CEO's husband is too dangerous

Chapter 157 A New Clue That Lies Can Be Broken
Everything in the Baigu studio remains the same, and Lu Lin is still serving at the front desk.

When someone approached, there was still a familiar "Welcome to visit", as if he was busy with something, and he didn't raise his head until the sentence "Excuse me for—" before looking up at the person who came.

Seeing this, she instantly regained her composure——

"Mulli?" Almost blurting out Mu Li's name, Lu Lin was very pleasantly surprised, but hesitated a second later.

Mu Li could see the hesitation on her face, and that hesitation should be due to fear of her identity.

So, she took the initiative to approach, and asked with a smile across the service desk, "How are you? Are you busy recently?"

Mu Li used a familiar tone, deliberately trying to defuse the awkward atmosphere.

Lu Lin's hesitation also slowed down, she lowered her eyes and smiled, but still said a little strangely: "It's not too busy recently, and the number of visitors has decreased a lot."

This is an anecdote... Mu Li couldn't help but be surprised. There are so many people who want to come to Baigu for consultation on psychological problems, why are there so few?

"Is it because Teacher Gu is often absent?" Mu Li asked inquiringly.

Lu Lin shook her head, "Even if Teacher Gu isn't here often, Teacher Shu is also there. It's true that there are fewer people."

After hesitating to speak, Lu Lin chose to change the subject, "I'm afraid you have to wait for a while, Teacher Gu and Teacher Shu are not here now."

"Where did they go?"

"Mr. Gu is going to attend the academic seminar, and Mr. Shu is going to the police station to discuss the case with Officer Du."

"Are there any new cases recently?"

"The old ones haven't been resolved, where can I get the new ones?" Lu Lin said casually, and when she finished her voice, she was keenly aware that she had lost her words, so she turned her head and said, "I'll get you a glass of water, wait a moment , Teacher Shu will be back soon."

After all, he walked to the tea room.

Looking at the back that was almost fleeing in a hurry, Mu Li felt an unprecedented heaviness, and there was something strange in this heaviness, which seemed to be caused by the unexpected occurrence of some important events.

More importantly, these things seem to be related to herself.

During the next wait, Mu Li didn't communicate with Lu Lin again, she just sat in the tea room and waited. Almost half an hour passed, and Baigu Studio didn't welcome a single consultant.

In the past, even if there were few people, it would not be deserted, but now it has changed.

Shu Wanshi didn't come back until eleven o'clock.

Lu Lin's announcement came from the front desk——

"Ms. Shu, Ms. Mu is here to see you. She is waiting in the tea room."

……

Mu Li put down his water glass, got up with his bag and walked towards Shu Wan's office, meeting her on the way.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Shu Wan is still refreshed, his attire hasn't changed in any way, and his professional attire gives people a shock of professional authority.

Seeing Mu Li coming, she bent her lips and smiled as usual, without saying a word, she walked to the office first.

Murray followed suit.

……

"Why did you think of coming to the studio today?" Shu Wan brought tea as soon as he was seated.

Mu Li took the thank you, sat opposite her, and replied: "I just have time, and there are some things I want to understand again."

"What's the matter?" Shu Wan smiled and asked directly.

After a late winter, there seemed to be something quietly changing between the two of them.

Perhaps it was the call for help that Mu Li made to her when she was trapped and helpless;
Maybe it was because Shu Wan could no longer sit idly by and went to Lihuaxi in person to confront Lin Jinqian face to face.

These things have never been stated by any of them, but they are already tacit, so when they meet again, they can be as warm and comfortable as old friends.

Mu Li asked bluntly: "I heard from Lu Lin that the number of people coming to consult has decreased a lot recently. What happened?"

After a short second of stunned, Shu Wan showed a relieved smile. From this smile, one can see the mental journey she has gone through since the abnormality occurred.

From the discomfort at the beginning, to the calm acceptance now.

"Teacher Gu left, so fewer people came." Shu Wan said lightly.

Mu Li was shocked when he heard this, "Teacher Gu left?"

Baigu Studio was supported by Gu Wenchen. With the help of Hou Yi's financial resources and combined with his own professionalism, it has been managed step by step to its current glory. How can you leave it?

However, Shu Wan sipped his tea and said, "If you can't solve two consecutive cases, of course you should leave. The heyday of Baigu has long passed."

Is it long gone?

Mu Li disagrees, not that all glory has become a thing of the past, but that Gu Wenchen really cares about these illusory prosperity and abandons his hard work.

She understands better than anyone else that everything in this world is subject to change, and the fastest change is the human heart; however, the least changeable thing is the human heart.

Seeing that Mu Li remained silent, Shu Wan put down his teacup, stared at her a few more times, and asked her about her doubts whether she believed it or not, "Are you here for the Mu family or the Lin family?"

Mu Li recovered from this question, she paused for a few seconds, and replied, "For myself."

"yourself?"

"For the kidnapping and imprisonment that year."

Shu Wan was so shocked that she could hardly speak. She used to put herself in Mu Li's position, imagining that she would go through those little-known tragedies, but every time she tried halfway, she struggled to escape from the illusion.

Many times, she woke up sweating profusely, and found that she was in tears, and she couldn't even stand still with lingering fear.

She asked Hou Yi over and over again, wanting to get even a little bit of information about her status after what she experienced back then.

Whether she is curious or out of selfishness, she just wants to know how strong a person, a woman, a simple girl who grew up in a simple environment, can still live strong after experiencing such miserable filth.

It's almost a desertion, without half understanding, let alone caring, on the contrary, he has to bear all the guilt and insults.

But now, she wants to personally uncover the scar that has gradually healed.

What the hell is going on?
……

Mu Li lowered her eyes, meditating. She had already noticed Shu Wan's astonishment and disbelief from the change in her expression.

Why did she come, why did she do this?She asked herself along the way.

As early as the moment she decided to advance and retreat with Lin Jinqian, she knew that she should not dwell on the past.

Last night in that dark study room, with only a little moonlight filtering in, she declared to Lin Jinqian almost hopelessly——

How happy is life, what fear is death?She is no longer greedy for life, let alone fear of death. What else in this world is worth her timidity?

However, the shock of feeling at that moment this morning forced her to think deeply.

If all the conspiracies and scrambles originated from within the Lin family, then how could the man who was eager to take all the blame for his crimes feel relieved?

His acting isn't a good-hearted attempt to cover up the devastating ugliness she's experienced as a woman.

But -

Mu Li raised his eyes and made a final request, "I know you are still investigating the case of Qingluan Mountain with Team Du. The progress must be very slow, right?"

……

Shu Wan was a little stunned. The big leap after another made her unable to catch up while she was in deep thought. In a short time, she could only follow Mu Li's words and nod in response.

"If the direction is vague, of course no significant progress can be made in the short term," Mouri said, "not to mention the wrong direction."

"Wrong direction?" Shu Wan asked in surprise, "How can you be sure that the direction is wrong? Do you know which direction we are looking?"

Mu Li got up calmly, came to the desk, and opened the document that Shu Wan brought back when he came back.

Sure enough, as soon as it was opened, I saw the letterhead of the "Qingluan Mountain Case".

After a short glance, before he could take a closer look, Shu Wan would come forward to close it, "You'd better not touch these things."

"why?"

"Because you are no longer involved in the investigation of this case, you have no right to know the details."

"Is that right?"

"of course."

Mu Li curled his lips and smiled, his smile was so bitter, "I can't watch it because this case is also related to me, right?"

Shu Wan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately retorted, "What does it have to do with you?"

Murray was no longer obsessed with looking through the documents, but revealed his heart, "Actually, I was there on the night of the incident."

Shu Wan was shocked again - this was something she and Du Sheng had never expected.

"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk, but I came to the back mountain. But when I arrived, the person was already dead."

"Why are you going to the back mountain?"

Why?Mu Li stared in thought, how she got to the back mountain that night, she couldn't remember exactly, because the scene of bumping into the dead was too shocking, the memory of that night seemed to be only left after seeing the dead fragments.

If you have to explain why you went, it seems to be fate in the dark.

"I don't know, I just walked to somewhere—" Mu Li paused, as if something hit his mind again, "It's a smell, a very fishy smell—the smell of blood."

Shu Wan could probably imagine that the deceased lost a lot of blood. If it wasn't for the heavy rain in the middle of the night, the blood would flow almost to the foot of the mountain from the place where the deceased died.

"But after you saw the deceased, why didn't you call the police? Then, why did you hide it?"

"That's the Lin family's business. I don't want to get involved too much. Besides, I also want to find out who killed her." Mu Li said softly. She didn't admit it because Lin Jinqian, who rushed out halfway, wanted to be with her. Together he hides the fact that he can walk on both legs.

"Then you think it's related to you now, so you're honest?"

"Yes."

"What does it have to do with you?"

"The relationship with me—" Mu Li paused again, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I can't explain this clearly, I can only say that it is related to the wilderness murder case."

And the wilderness murder case was closely related to her, so they got in touch.

Shu Wan couldn't figure it out quickly. Although she had suspected this before, there was no clue that the two cases were related. Everything was her guess.

I heard Mu Li say: "You might as well go and investigate the murderer who finally confessed in the wilderness murder case, find out his background, his family, and find out why he lied. At that time, everything will be clear."
