Chapter 33
Mu Li woke up from his sleep, and the night lamp emitted a dim yellow light.

"Are you awake?" Lin Jinqian's low and cold voice suddenly sounded in the bedroom, with a slight hint of imperceptible emotion.

Mu Li was startled and asked instinctively, "Why are you here?"

Lin Jinqian leaned back in the chair and said lightly: "If I remember correctly, this is Lihuaxi, and you are still my wife. Can I not be here?"

Mu Li choked, sat up, stared at the quilt covering his lap for a moment, lost and sadly asked: "Lin Jinqian, is that person from back then really lost?"

Lin Jinqian looked sideways, and his cold eyes fell on Mu Li's drooping head, gradually a trace of pity welled up.

Mu Li is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is as hot as fire on what he believes in, but he is as stubborn as ice. Facing the disdain and indifference of outsiders, he tries his best to show his strong side. Only those who are trustworthy will show a weak and daughter-like attitude.

This was the case when facing Lin Yisheng.

"I said, even if you find it, you won't be able to bear it."

"If I don't find it, how can I be sure if I can bear it?" Mu Li raised his eyes and looked at him firmly. "I have nothing to fear. Tell me, what needs me to do, I will definitely do it."

Lin Jinqian was slightly startled, but Shi Shi didn't intend to tell her an excuse he made up at will, and she agreed so quickly?
"What do you want me to do?"

Lin Jinqian lowered his eyes, silently picked up the Buddhist beads, and began to straighten out his disturbed thoughts.

Mu Li looked at him quietly, trying to see his expression clearly, but his eyes were lowered, covering all the colors, she couldn't see or read.

This is a psychological battle, and she knows that in order to win, she must face the difficulties.

In front of everyone, she deliberately showed that she had a close relationship with Lin Jinqian, and she was betting.

Standing in the cold wind, waiting patiently for Lin Jinqian to leave the birthday banquet, she was still gambling.

But while waiting, she suddenly figured out that in order to get the information she wanted, she had to gamble.

Agreeing to Lin Jinqian's request, keeping Mrs. Lin's seat, fulfilling her mother's last wish, finding out the truth five years ago... All these things, she can do together, nothing more than spending the rest of her life.

What is there to be reluctant for the rest of your life?
If you can't finish those, the rest of your life is just a waste of time.

"What if I want you to fight against Lin Yisheng?" In the silent room, Lin Jinqian's indifferent voice sounded.

Mu Li came back to his senses and was very surprised. It was not difficult to give up Mrs. Lin's seat.

She bent her lips slightly, showing a happy smile, her soft eyes fell on Lin Jinqian's cold face, and said, "Yes."

Lin Jinqian's hand froze while turning the prayer beads, Mu Li's sudden change caught him off guard, "What if I want you to fight against your father?"

"...Yes." He hesitated a little.

Lin Jinqian slowly turned the beads again, settled his mind, and continued to ask: "What if I want you to be an enemy of the Mu family?"

After hesitating for a long time, "Yes."

Lin Jinqian's thin lips were slightly curved, his eyes were cold, "It's still too late to back down."

"Why back down?"

"If you are afraid, of course you have to shrink back. If you can't move forward wholeheartedly, what's the point of forcing it?"

Mu Li understood, "I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking, what should I think if I go against my father and the Mu family, and my mother knows about it?"

"Indecision is the same as fear."

Mu Li shook his head and looked at Lin Jinqian firmly, "No hesitation, no fear, I can do it, no matter what!"

"As long as you tell me who that person was five years ago."

Lin Jinqian met her brave eyes, put away the beads, and then went out the door.

"Lin Jinqian!"

"Since you have decided, you only need to care about putting it into practice. Should I tell you and when to tell you, I have at least the right to judge."

He spit out domineering words indifferently, and he disappeared at the end of the door.

Mu Li sat on the bed, looked at the closed door, and clenched his fist tightly, holding the only bet.

At dawn, Mu Li finished packing and went to work normally, passing by the restaurant, he saw Lin Jinqian enjoying his breakfast gracefully, but Lin Xi, who usually sat opposite him, was not there.

After the "rabbit backpack" incident, Lin Jinqian hid Lin Xi. After she left the hospital, she never saw the sticky glutinous rice dumpling again. Even when she asked, no one was willing to tell her.

By doing this, Lin Jinqian didn't know whether he was guarding against her or someone who would use her hands to hurt Lin Xi, but no matter what, it was enough to see that he valued Lin Xi far more than he valued himself.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mu Li still went to the restaurant, took a few slices of bread, smeared it with jam, and wrapped it in a brown paper bag.

"Mr. Lin," Mu Li said in a low voice while packing his breakfast, "What I said last night was not a joke. As long as there is a need, just ask and I will do it."

Lin Jinqian turned a deaf ear to it and concentrated on enjoying the delicious food.

Mu Li put down the tableware, and left Lihuaxi with a brown paper bag regardless of whether he heard it or not.

Baigu Studio.

Suddenly three or five policemen came, making the studio panic.

Mu Li happened to be at the front desk to help register the information of the customers who came to consult, and he couldn't help being stunned when he saw the police rushing in.

Lu Lin was also in a daze, until the police came to the front desk, and one of the leaders asked Gu Wenchen's office, and she suddenly came to her senses, "Go to the right, the innermost one is there."

The leading policeman nodded his thanks to her, and was about to take a step, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Li who was beside him, and looked at her carefully.

Mu Li lowered his eyes, avoiding his unclear gaze, and quickly recorded the situation of the consultant.

"Miss Mu."

A cold voice came from ahead, and Mu Li had to stop writing.

It was the policeman who called her. He stretched out his hand and smiled slightly, "It's good to see you as soon as I come here. I'm Du Sheng, the captain of the Rongcheng criminal police team."

Mu Li immediately understood that this was the new captain of the criminal police team, who replaced Xing Zhigang, but he couldn't guess why he went to Baigu Studio right after he took office.

"Hello, Team Du." Mu Li put down his pen and shook hands with Du Sheng politely.

"Since Ms. Mu is here, come in with me. I also have some questions that I want to consult with Ms. Mu." Du Sheng said with a smile.

Mu Li didn't know, so he glanced at Lu Lin who was full of doubts, got up and followed Du Sheng to Gu Wenchen's office.

"Teacher Gu."

"Team Du."

"To bother you."

"Where, where, I'm ashamed to ask Team Du to go there in person."

"Teacher Gu, you are being polite. I am obviously the one who disturbs you."

After the courteous exchange of greetings by one party, they both sat down, Mu Li only regarded himself as a transparent person, silently observed his words, and only listened to Gu Wenchen's arrangements.

Du Sheng looked at Mu Li who was sitting next to Gu Wenchen, and said with a smile, "I saw Miss Mu as soon as I came here, it seems I'm lucky."

Mu Li lowered his eyes, unable to understand the meaning of Du Sheng's words.

From the side came Gu Wenchen's faint glance, and then he heard him chuckle and say: "It seems that the Du team has made a new discovery."

Du Sheng patted the armrest of the sofa lightly, and his eyes with unclear meaning fell on Mu Li's face again, "Xing Zhigang has been transferred from Rongcheng because of serious negligence at work. End."

"I checked the files related to it, as well as the video of the interrogation, and indeed found a lot of doubts, so I deliberately made this trip."

"It's just that I checked the video again this morning and found a very interesting detail. And this detail happens to be related to Miss Mu."

When Du Sheng mentioned this point, no matter how dull Mu Li was, he would have expected it.

She pretended to be calm, pretending that nothing had happened, she didn't know anything, and looked at Du Sheng with slight surprise.

Du Sheng laughed, "What did the suspect say to you the second he held you?"

Hidden knife in the smile, straight to the heart.

Mu Li didn't change his face, but shook his head, "I didn't say anything."

"Miss Mu, you are studying psychology. To the question I just asked, you reacted so quickly and answered so resolutely. It's unbeatable, isn't it?"

This man, Du Sheng, who seemed to be in his thirties, asked questions in a leisurely manner, with an imposing manner, especially those pair of slender crane eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people easily.

Mu Li still looked deserted, and explained lightly: "Because of this question, it is not the first time I have heard it."

"Oh?" There was a sly light in Du Sheng's eyes.

At this time, Gu Wenchen said: "I asked her before, Team Xing... Oh, Zhigang also asked."

"So that's how it is." Du Sheng smiled, but obviously didn't believe it.

There was a moment of silence, and Mu Li knew that speaking appropriately at this moment was the correct response. After all, what she was facing was trusting the captain of the criminal police team. No matter in terms of cases or etiquette, she should be proactive.

However, there is a saying called "the more you paint, the darker you are." In addition, over the years, her personality has become more and more cold, and it is easy to arouse suspicion if she says it, so she simply let the silence continue.

Du Sheng knocked on the sofa again, raised his brows slightly, and said, "Actually, I'm here today, except—"

"Knock knock" knocked on the door, interrupting Du Sheng's words.

The office door was pushed open, and it was Shu Wan who came in.

Mu Li secretly screamed that something was wrong. She always had an inexplicable anxiety about this tall female psychologist, as if in front of her, the secrets that had been hidden for many years would always be revealed.

"Xiao Wan is here." Du Sheng was the first to stand up, stretching out his hand impatiently.

Shu Wan came over and shook hands with him, "Captain Du has been waiting for a long time."

"Brothers and sisters, don't be surprised."

It turns out that these two are brothers and sisters!Sitting next to Gu Wenchen, Mu Lijing happened to meet Shu Wan's eyes when he looked up.

Another look with unclear meaning!

Murray smiled and nodded, as a greeting.

Shu Wan sat down next to Du Sheng. Du Sheng, who was still stern, seemed to be covered by the sun, with a smile in his eyes that never faded.

"Actually, Xiaowan invited me to come here today." Du Sheng looked at Shu Wan and said with a smile, "I also feel that this case is full of doubts, and it was closed hastily, but it doesn't mean that it is the truth."

Gu Wenchen also looked at Shu Wan, "Do you have a new discovery?"

Shu Wan nodded, but said to Du Sheng: "Can you trouble the two police officers to wait outside? This case is closed, and I'm just guessing. The less people who know about it, the better."

Du Sheng thought for a moment and agreed to her proposal.

The two police officers left the office, Shu Wan looked at Gu Wenchen again, "Miss Mu is here, is that okay?"
