Chapter 49 The only chance to save yourself
Speaking of this, Lin Jinqian suddenly frowned tightly, and his impatience was very obvious. He had never had a moment like this, without hiding his emotions.
Mu Li paused, and chose to stop halfway through the speech. She could clearly feel that Lin Jinqian didn't want to listen to her anymore.
At this time, she is smart enough, just point to the end.
Relatively speechless, the study was so quiet that one could hear the sound of the wind blowing the branches of the back mountain.
Mu Li pursed his lips, trying to find a topic to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Jinqian ask coldly: "If you just want to go to the yard to see what happened, why did you appear in the back mountain? Mu Li, You have indeed grown a lot these years, at least you can lie calmly, but please be clear, don't try to lie in front of me."
"You can't fool me."
Quietly but resolutely.
Mu Li took a deep breath, Lin Jinqian's eyes made her unable to look directly.
"If you still refuse to tell the truth, then I will have to push you out when the police come again." Lin Jinqian patiently issued an ultimatum.
Mu Li bit his lip and said, "I don't know who killed her. I went to the back mountain because I heard a noise."
When she was walking around in the yard last night, there was silence all around, except for the intermittent rustling sound from the back hill.
She didn't intend it at first, and being in the Lin family, it's the best choice to be alone, not to mention that in the current situation, she can't make any troubles.
But just when she turned to go back to the room, she suddenly heard the sound louder, no longer intermittent, but coherent and flustered footsteps, like the sound of stepping on fallen leaves, like someone running away.
Only then did she let her curiosity run wild and tiptoe in the direction of the voice to find it.
Maybe a feral cat?Or maybe the domestic helper stole something and transported it out in the dead of night?
But when she was halfway there, she suddenly saw a person lying under the moonlight that was not clear enough.
The man was motionless, lying under a withered tree, and when she walked in, she saw that the man was covered in blood and had lost his breath.
Why is she silent?Why hide it?
Because she didn't want to be involved.
Ling Shu is about to become the wife of Lin's family. Part of the reason why she is so eager to stay is of course inseparable from this.
If she was kicked out of the Lin family for this, the five years of waiting would have been in vain.
This is her thought, the truest thought.
After Mu Li finished speaking, she saw that Lin Jinqian still had an indifferent expression of disbelief. She knew it was useless to talk too much, so she left the study directly.
The murder on the mountain behind the main house came to an end for the time being. From Lin Jinqian's point of view, Mu Li was still refusing to tell the truth, so he stopped pressing. When the time came, she had to say it if she didn't.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lihuaxi was as peaceful as every day in the past five years, without anyone's visit, like a paradise.
On the day when Lin's shareholders' meeting was held, Mu Li woke up early as agreed with Lin Jinqian, and then a domestic helper came with a lotus root pink OL skirt.
"Madam, these are the clothes prepared for you by the young master." As she spoke, the domestic servant turned sideways, and a neglected figure appeared in front of her eyes, "This is the lady in charge of your makeup."
The woman who was introduced smiled at Mu Li, and with just one glance, Mu Li recognized that it was the woman who put makeup on her on the night of the old man's birthday party.
She didn't say anything, took the clothes and changed them, then sat in front of the dressing table and handed them to the woman who was putting on makeup.
Halfway through the makeup, Lin Jinqian came in. He was always taciturn, waiting patiently by the window.
Mu Li clearly felt that after Lin Jinqian came in, the woman in make-up moved her hands much faster.
After putting on makeup quickly, the makeup artist withdrew, leaving only Mu Li and Lin Jinqian in the room.
Mu Li saw Lin Jinqian's back through the mirror. He was sitting in a wheelchair, facing the mountain with dry forest behind the villa. She found that he seemed to like to be lost in thought on that mountain, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Before you enter the meeting room, Luo He will accompany you all the way and explain you some details." Lin Jinqian said lightly, "I just remind you, don't forget why you stayed in Lihuaxi."
Mu Li lowered her eyes and said nothing, of course she knew her purpose.
"I hope you don't disregard your mother's last wish just because the other party is your first love."
"Of course I won't forget." When it comes to first love, Mu Li is inexplicably disgusted, especially when Lin Jinqian mentions it, that strange feeling is like a mountain of illness, which makes her want to stubbornly resist.
Her sharp rebuttal made Lin Jinqian look sideways, and slowly turned the wheelchair, staring at her with a little surprise, seeing her smiling face with exquisite light makeup but an indifferent expression, his heart was inexplicably calmer.
That's it, no show of dew, no expression on his face, as long as this demeanor is believed to be enough to make Lin Yisheng lose his footing.
This time today is the first time he has been dormant for so long to take the initiative to attack. He wants to let those in the Lin family who thought he was eliminated understand that Lin Jinqian just disdains him.
But once you make a move, you will bid farewell to the pure days of eating fast and chanting Buddha.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinqian's eyes moved slightly, and the past was like a rising tide that couldn't break free from gravity, rushing towards him violently.
He swallowed a breath, and said in a low voice: "I know you have resentment against me. I blamed me for insisting on marrying you and making you Mrs. Lin. Not only did you part with Lin Yisheng, but you also suffered plain humiliation."
"But things have already happened. Instead of being stuck in the old days and not getting out, it's better to move forward and make good plans for your future life."
What else did Lin Jinqian say, but Mu Li didn't listen. After that sentence of "humiliating", his voice gradually faded away, becoming vague and clear, and she seemed to hear the sound of breathing.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid—"
The man's aura struck again, after being calm for so long, the nightmare shrouded it again.
Mu Li got up suddenly, ignorant, like a puppet who had lost his soul, instinctively wanting to escape.
She took a few steps, got caught by the seat, and fell to the ground crookedly.
"A Li?" Lin Jinqian called urgently, ever since Mu Li stood up in a daze, he never took his eyes off her.
Even he didn't realize how natural and kind this "A Li" came out.
Mu Li got up from the ground, stood up straight with the seat on his back, and took a deep breath. The voice disappeared and his heartbeat stabilized.
"I don't blame you." Mu Li said softly, with a bit of hatred in his cold eyes, "I just hate. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be what I am today."
Leaving these words behind, Mu Li walked out of the bedroom lightly, taking the bidding letter that Lin Jinqian handed over to her.
On the way to the headquarters of Lin's Huanyu Group, Mu Li sat where Lin Jinqian usually sat, and Luo He was in charge of driving. The two were silent all the way.
But when the destination was still one intersection away, Luo He couldn't help but confess after all.
He said: "Madam, since you and the young master have already negotiated, please do it wholeheartedly. This time, it should be your only self-help."
help yourself?Mu Li was in a trance, forced to do nothing, had no choice but to choose, could it be regarded as self-help?But before she could think about it, the car stopped.
"It's here, ma'am." Luo He reminded.
Mu Li remained silent, looking up at the window, the sixty-story building, the musical fountain in front of it was constantly spraying and flowing, and the music and the sound of the water were intertwined to form a melodious movement.
This is the leader of Lin's enterprises, the headquarters of Huanyu Group, and the core of all businesses, large and small, is here. It can be said to be the most proud building in the city. Ordinary people would regard it as a great honor to be able to work here.
The moment he stood in a high-rise building, Mu Li suddenly realized a problem that he had neglected for many years. The Lin family is not only a century-old family inherited from Rongcheng, not only the head of the five major families, but also the ruler of Rongcheng's spirit.
That would be scary, wouldn't it?
Controlling the lifeline of the economy, to put it bluntly, is only a material thing, but if even the spiritual level occupies an unshakable position, has anyone ever considered the consequences?
"Madam, please." Luo He leaned slightly beside him and made a gesture of invitation.
Mu Li collected many thoughts and stepped forward.
The road was unimpeded, and some people tried to stop the inquiry, but they all backed away the moment they saw Luo He.
The people working in Huanyu, except for the new recruits, will not be younger than three to five years, and the stability is very good, so they know Luo He.
Young Master Lin's special assistant and confidant.
Guided by Luo He, Mu Li took the elevator all the way to the 54th floor where the meeting was held without a word.
The floor is quiet, exuding a solemn atmosphere, the moment you step out of the elevator, you can't hear any sound.
Mu Li took a step, and his high-heeled shoes, which were not too high, stepped on the ground, making a small sound, breaking the silence.
"Madam, this way." Luo He continued to lead the way.
The high-heeled shoes "clacked" on the ground, which was extraordinarily clear and ear-piercing.
The door of the conference room was closed, and there were five people waiting outside. Two of them were wearing security uniforms and stood guard on both sides of the door. The other three were women, wearing slim red cheongsams. Knowing is meeting etiquette.
"Ma'am, I will accompany you here, and you need to deal with it yourself." Luo He stopped and said in a low voice, "Remember what I said, the young master is not harming you, it is you The only self-rescue that took the initiative."
Mu Li didn't make a sound, and then walked forward, whether to save herself or not, it's not what others say, she will judge by herself.
"Hello, the meeting has already started. Mr. Lin told me that no one is allowed to enter."
As soon as Mu Li reached the door, one of the guards stopped her.
She lowered her eyes, took out the document Luo He handed over to her, and showed it to the guard indifferently.
The guard took a closer look, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately handed it to another person. The person was also shocked, as if he had been acupunctured, and looked at Mu Li motionlessly.
That document was an identity statement drawn up by Luo He, but it was stamped with Lin Jinqian's personal seal.
Lin Jinqian's contributions to the world can be compared with the ancestors of the Lin family who founded the country, so it's no wonder that these people made a fuss when they saw it.
Mu Li glanced at the two stunned people, and said softly, "Are you still opening the door?"
One person came back to his senses, but panicked, "This... we, I'm afraid I have to trouble you for a while, we need to report to the inside."
Murray nodded slightly, expressing his understanding.
The man picked up the walkie-talkie, pressed the call button, and said in a low voice, "Report, it's urgent, sorry to bother you. There is a woman outside the door, representing Young Master Lin."
I don't know what was said there, the guard hurriedly suppressed the microphone, and asked Mu Li: "Miss, what is your name?"
Mu Li raised his eyes, his eyes were as clear as water, "My surname is Mu."
