Chapter 173
Lin Jinqian is not the only one who saw the old man?
The crying people stopped crying immediately, and the people sitting quietly in the chairs sat up straight, looking at the two standing in the middle of the aisle in astonishment.

Mu Li stared closely at Lin Jinqian. Even though he was exposed, he remained silent. In his deep eyes, it was as calm as a deep sea without waves.

He also looked back at her, allowing her earnestly looking forward to grow stronger and stronger.

In the end, it was just holding her wrist again, but he raised his voice and called to Luo He: "Send your wife back to Lihuaxi first!"

"Yes." Luo He stepped forward, just like in the hospital five years ago, regardless of Mu Li's wishes, he forcibly took her away.

Mu Li's lips were tightly pursed, almost forming an invisible line. She stubbornly looked back at Lin Jinqian, looking at him standing upright against the white background of the hospital, his black suit made him helpless.

She didn't struggle, didn't even shout, she just watched stubbornly, in her brown eyes, the expression was stubborn, unable to resist, until Luo He took her away from that place in a short and peaceful place.

……

That scene of stubbornness that speaks louder than sound was like a thorn piercing Lin Yisheng's heart.

How had he ever seen Ali so stubborn?
there has never been.

Even when he was about to leave the town and return to Lin's house, she cried and begged, but compared to the scene just now, even though she didn't speak any words, her stubborn eyes were enough to pierce all the good things.

Ali, since when did I completely lose you?
Lin Yisheng lowered his head slowly, looking at the seal handed to him by the old man himself.

……

The car finally drove onto the coastal avenue of Lihuaxi, and the sea in the middle of the night was like a nightfall, paved with a dark curtain.

It is so quiet and charming, but also so cold and resisting, repelling anyone from approaching.

Through the car window, under the moonlight that was not bright enough, Mu Li stared at the sea without blinking, but his eyes had already burst into tears at some point.

He is repelling anyone approaching.

including her.

Also Roch.

For the rest of the battle, he had to carry it alone, but he faced it and fought.

——Knowing you was a turnaround in my life, but I didn't even protect you. I don't want history to repeat itself.

So he pushed her away, firmly and confidently.

Lin Jinqian, if your protection is like this, would you like to ask me if I need it?
……

Finally, after the most stressful period, Director Meng came out of the operating room, took off his mask without waiting for anyone to ask him, and walked up to Hou Yi to explain the situation.

"The old man is very old, and his heart is not good. He had an attack not long ago. This time, the sudden attack directly led to myocardial infarction. Although the first aid was given, the situation has eased, but it is still not optimistic."

"What does it mean not to be optimistic?" Xia Nan was the first to ask.

Director Meng said: "In the days to come, it is best for the old man not to be stimulated by anything, not even a little bit, otherwise if the emotional ups and downs are too big, the consequences will be disastrous."

The implication is that the old man has already stepped into the coffin?
Xia Nan frowned and stepped back uncontrollably. Fortunately, Lin Yisheng and Tao Shiyi were right behind her and helped her up in time.

Then several other doctors came out, and the others rushed forward, insisting on asking for a different version from Director Meng's, a better one.

Hou Yi patted Director Meng on the shoulder, "I trouble you to come at this late hour, thank you for your hard work."

"Actually, I didn't help much. After all, I don't know much about the old man's situation. The main credit is the other two doctors."

"In any case, thank you, go back and rest."

"Well, you should rest early too."

After the two greeted each other briefly, Director Meng left first.

Hou Yi looked at the Lin family who were surrounding the door of the operating room, and then at Lin Jinqian who was standing in front of the window from beginning to end. His indifferent attitude, how could he look like a Lin family?

He walked over and was about to speak when he heard Lin Jinqian say, "Take Shu Wan back quickly, there is nothing else going on here."

"Why are you okay?" Hou Yi asked in a low voice, "What happened, why did it become like this?"

Lin Jinqian looked sideways, and his eyes fell on Xia Nan who barely stood still with Lin Yisheng's support. Her sadness was so obvious that no one knew that she was worried about the old man's health.

Hou Yi followed his gaze and was about to look over, when he heard Lin Jinqian say: "You go back first, I will ask you for help again if necessary."

"But you—"

"Shu Wan is still waiting for you." Lin Jinqian insisted that Hou Yi had to keep silent.

Hou Yi turned around and saw Shu Wan who was waiting by the wall, she was also looking at him with cold eyes.

"Go back, it's fine here." Lin Jinqian persuaded him again, insisting on asking him to leave.

Hou Yiwu thought for a while, and finally nodded and left, "If you have any questions, call me as soon as possible, and I will be there right away."

"know."

Hou Yi took Shu Wan away, and the sense of urgency that quietly enveloped Lin Jinqian gradually disappeared.

Back at the residence, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, Hou Yi threw his coat on the sofa, and went to the bathroom to drain the water. It was indeed late, but he was exhausted and needed a pool of hot water to relieve his fatigue, so that he could meet Lin Jinqian At any moment of the phone call, rush over as soon as possible.

The water was warm, Hou Yi closed his eyes and soaked in the enjoyment, suddenly there was a knock on the door, and he reflexively sat upright vigilantly, "Who?"

"It's me." Shu Wan's voice came.

It was only then that Hou Yi realized as if waking up from a dream that Shu Wan was also there that night.

"Can I talk to you?" Shu Wan asked.

Hou Yi said: "Wait a minute, I will come out later."

"No, that's fine." But Shu Wan refused, and opened up the topic first, "As for what happened to Lin's family after the individual visit tonight, if I tell you, I can guess the truth, you will Do you believe it?"

The bathroom was quiet, not even the sound of water rushing.

Hou Yi obviously gave the best response with silence - he believed.

That's right, is there anything Shu Wan can't figure out?

The murder case in the wilderness and Mu Li's kidnapping were all done by the Lin family. She could connect all these things based on the clues she had captured, and the sudden change tonight was nothing to worry about.

Shu Wan leaned against the bathroom door, she looked up at the wall lamp, and said softly: "After the individual guest, he was not the only one who met the old man. If I guessed correctly, after hearing about the old man's situation, he cried the most. The one from here is there."

Hou Yi understood that she was talking about Lin Yisheng's mother, Xia Nan.

"When we arrived, she was waiting calmly. When Director Meng came out to explain the situation, she suddenly cried bitterly. She blamed herself so much, obviously to show her self-blame for not taking good care of the old man."

Based on what she observed, Shu Wan connected them one by one, and deduced carefully and rigorously, "I also saw that when you walked up to Lin Jinqian and asked him what happened, he glanced at Xia who was crying bitterly. Nan."

"His eyes are too calm, as if he has seen through everything, but he doesn't expose it. Maybe he wants to see what the other party wants, or maybe he doesn't care about the frame that is about to be identified."

And this kind of indifference stems from his high self-confidence. If he wants to regain his inheritance rights, what is this little ups and downs?
But Shu Wan couldn't figure it out. On the way back, she kept thinking, if she wanted to regain power, how would the old man explain it?That lady is not a fool, so it is naturally impossible to provoke the old man directly.

If so, it must have been when he met the old man, he borrowed a knife to kill someone.

But how can she borrow this knife to achieve her goal without leaving almost no trace?

Shu Wan couldn't figure out these things.

She stopped leaning against the bathroom door, walked to the wall lamp, and looked closer and more clearly, "One more thing, Mu Li is not here, and neither is the assistant who accompanied Lin Jinqian."

"He must have ordered Luo He to send Mu Li back to Lihuaxi." Hou Yi opened the door and followed Shu Wan's words.

Shu Guan saw him from the side, wearing a bathrobe, and her hair was still wet, she immediately turned her gaze back, "Mu Li knew what happened, but he didn't want Mu Li to tell, so he asked Luo He to send her back."

"Probably so."

"It must be like this." Shu Wan confirmed her thoughts, so she speculated even more boldly, "Since Mu Li knows that he wants to let Mu Li go back, and after the individual guests, it must be at a banquet. It has something to do with going to the old butler of the Lin family."

Shu Wan thought of Lin Jinqian who was always calm and indifferent at the banquet, and Mu Li who was sometimes stunned and flustered.

Obviously, Mu Li didn't know that Du Sheng would come, and Lin Jinqian expected it, but how could she know what happened later?
Suddenly, a thought popped up, which made Shu Wan's body stiff.

Could it be that an unspoken tacit understanding has been formed between them?
……

The sky lit up layer by layer, and the sycamore trees in the courtyard seemed to grow taller in the morning light.

Mu Li sat in front of the window, staring at the entrance of Lihua Creek without blinking. In her eyes, a trace of red had appeared.

After Lin Xi finished washing, she went downstairs to eat. Seeing her motionless in front of the window, she ran to her side on short legs, "Mom, when did you and Dad come back last night? Why don't I know?"

The childish voice brought Mu Li back to reality, she smiled slightly, and stroked her neatly combed little mushroom head, "I came back late, you fell asleep at that time, of course I don't know."

"Then why do you get up so early? Don't you need to sleep a little longer?" Lin Xi asked again with innocent eyes.

Mu Li only replied, "Mom is not sleepy."

"What about Dad?"

"He's out on errands."

"No wonder! I just said I didn't see him!" Lin Xi said suddenly, she glanced casually, saw something, pointed out the window and shouted, "Daddy is back!"

Mu Li hurriedly looked over, and saw a car driving in, it was Luo He who went to pick him up!
