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

Chapter 50

Lin Jinqian frowned, and shifted his gaze to Mu Li's face. Seeing that she was still locked in fear, he felt a little pity in his heart.

"The yard is very clean. Everyone gathered in the banquet hall last night. No one came. It's very clean!"

"Then the back mountain is also very clean, so there is no need to clean it?"

"Probably so... Hey, is sister Qin gone?"

"gone."

"Then let's go too, you see it's so clean here, there's no need to clean it at all."

"This... I'd better go up and check for a while."

The voice got closer, Lin Jinqian held Mu Li's body, and led her to hide by the bushes behind the pavilion. The two held their breaths, watching every move in the garden.

Lin Jinqian's hand was always tightly clasped to Mu Li's shoulder, and he never let go for a moment.

She could feel the temperature and strength of his palm, which was always cold and unchanged, but the strength was gradually increasing.

Is he afraid?Afraid that the domestic helper will come up and find that he can appear on the back mountain?

But why should he hide it?I can walk, but I have to be accompanied by a wheelchair. I have been trapped in a wheelchair for so many years, and I have endured the eyes of others and the discussions behind me. Why?
Lin Jinqian lowered his eyes and listened intently. Gradually, he felt a warm gaze fixed on his cheek. Looking sideways, he saw Mu Li staring at him with clear eyes.

The moment their eyes met, one was anxious and the other was cold. This time, it was no longer Lin Jinqian who was cold.

He narrowed his eyes and avoided Murray's gaze. Her gaze made him uncomfortable, as if she had seen through her.

Only then did he realize that they were squatting close to each other, and his palms were pressed against her shoulders seamlessly.

He let go suddenly, and there was another sound from below.

"Don't look, it's all clean! Let's call it a day and go back to have a rest. It's so cold, I can't stand it."

Then there was the sound of walking away.

"Hey..." After a sigh, there was a few seconds of silence, and the other person also left.

The heart hanging in the throat can finally be put down smoothly.

Lin Jinqian stood up slowly, walked into the pavilion, and looked at the maid who fell in the bush again from a distance.

How could such a thing happen?

How could someone be killed on a day of great joy for the Lin family?
Judging from the blood flowing and the smell in the air, it must have happened tonight. Who is so bold as to dare to kill someone in Lin's house?Once this matter becomes serious, the consequences will be disastrous.

"It should have been stabbed by a knife and lost too much blood to death." Mu Li came out from the bushes, stood beside Lin Jinqian, and said in a low voice.

Lin Jinqian turned his face slightly, and looked away from the corpse, "Why did you come here?"

Mu Li was startled, lowered his eyes, the color of his eyes changed silently, "Can't sleep, walk around."

"Come to the back mountain?"

what does he mean?Mu Li frowned, "Can't you smell the strong smell of blood?"

Lin Jinqian stopped talking, pursed his lips and took steps to walk towards the corpse.

Mu Li hurriedly grabbed his arm, "What are you doing? If you get close to her, you will leave clues about you!"

"Isn't this the maid who stopped you from letting you in?" Lin Jinqian answered irrelevantly, but revealed an astonishing fact.

It was only then that Mu Li noticed that the deceased was indeed the maid who prevented her from entering the arena!

How did she die?
In the dark, Lin Jinqian also noticed something strange... Why did he die at this time?Why was she the one who died?The Lin family, how could someone die so easily?

In the blink of an eye, thousands of guesses flashed through his mind.

Lin Jinqian grabbed Mu Li's hand and led him down the mountain without saying a word.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Jinqian turned a deaf ear, this is a disaster, aimed at Mu Li, and perhaps more people, he must take her away first.

Going down to the garden, Lin Jinqian looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were thicker, very good, seeing a heavy rain coming, very good, washing away possible imprints, making everything irrelevant.

"Go this way." Lin Jinqian picked up his pace again and led Mu Li to another direction.

After all, the main house is where he lived since he was a child. Even though he moved to Lihuaxi these years, the topographic layout here is deeply imprinted in his mind, and he has never forgotten it.

Mu Li followed Lin Jinqian and let him lead him to a safe place.

At that moment, she was extremely calm, without any hesitation or suspicion, and believed that Lin Jinqian would take her to a safe place.

After successfully avoiding the domestic helpers who got up early to clean and the surveillance cameras, Lin Jinqian finally brought Mu Li back to the room.

As soon as the door was closed, he let go of his hand, walked quickly to the window, and observed the movement downstairs.

Mu Li stared at his back, his tall and straight body was tense into a string, like a threatened leopard, vigilantly guarding against it.

Why is he nervous?

Mu Li sat down on the imperial concubine's couch, adjusted her disturbed heart, and the scene of Houshan appeared in her mind again, she couldn't help asking: "If no one goes to Houshan, when will they be discovered?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Jinqian's eyes became deeper and deeper, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck, piercing the dark night, and he murmured: "We will find out soon."

"Has anyone gone to the back mountain?" Mu Li got up, came to the window, and looked down hard, but the angle of the window could not see the back mountain at all.

"It is going to rain."

Mu Li raised his eyes to look at Lin Jinqian, the night was still dense, his cold brows were shrouded in the quiet darkness, hazy.

Then Lin Jinqian returned to the screen, lay down on the bed, and a soft voice came, "Take a rest, the dawn will pass, and the night will pass."

Will the night pass?

Mu Li looked downstairs, and occasionally a domestic servant passed by, but his heart was desolate and he was at a loss.

She retreated to the imperial concubine bed, exhaled heavily and slowly, the sound of Lin Jinqian turning over came from behind the screen, she also lay down, covered the quilt, and forced herself to close her eyes and fall asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Li gradually fell asleep in a drowsy state.

In her sleep, she fell into endless darkness again, her eyes were blindfolded, her limbs were tied, the coldness of her fingertips moved on her skin, a pair of warm lips fell down, and a mark was imprinted on her forehead. Hot kisses.

……

"Ah!" The morning of the long night came with a sharp cry.

Mu Li woke up suddenly, sat up straight, and saw that Lin Jinqian was fully dressed and was sitting in a wheelchair as usual.

The screams downstairs continued, one after another.

"Come on, come on! Come on, come on!"

"Dead! Dead!"

Have you found it?Mu Li lifted the quilt, didn't have time to put on her shoes, and ran to the window to observe the situation downstairs, only then did she realize that the ground was wet, and even the windows still had traces of rain.

Is it raining?

She slept so deeply that she didn't even notice it was raining?
The servants in the yard ran in and out, and some of the maids were terrified, and they could barely walk because they were held up by others.

"They found out." Murray couldn't help muttering to himself.

Behind him, Lin Jinqian said calmly again: "It will be a matter of time. Now that you wake up, go wash up, and I will wait for you to go back to Lihuaxi together."

"Did you go back directly?" Mu Li asked sideways.

"Do you still want to stay here?"

Mu Li shook her head, nodded again, shook her head again, she was completely confused, she didn't know what to do, she sat back on the imperial concubine's couch, staring blankly.

When she found the body, she thought about calling everyone and calling the police, but her intuition told her that things were not as simple as they appeared... So she held back.

Then when Lin Jinqian appeared, things got even more out of control.

Lin Jinqian came to her in a wheelchair, put his big hands on her shoulders, and said in a low but forceful voice: "Go and wash up, forget about what happened last night."

Mu Li squinted, staring at Lin Jinqian's hands. His fingers were white and slender. He had been pampered all year round, and his skin looked more delicate than a woman's.

"Let's go, at least we are still husband and wife now." In the chaotic voice downstairs, she heard Lin Jinqian say so.

When Mu Li went to wash in the inner room, Lin Jinqian manipulated the wheelchair and opened the door, leaned out, and called the domestic servant not far away to ask.

"What happened downstairs?"

The domestic servant's complexion was sallow, as if he was overly frightened, "Master Hui, it's on the back mountain, on the back mountain..."

"What happened to the back mountain?"

"A dead man was found on the back mountain." The domestic helper said with difficulty.

Lin Jinqian frowned suspiciously, "Dead?"

"Yes, young master, it was a maid... who died on the back mountain."

At this moment, Luo He came over in a hurry. He got up early in the morning and heard the movement in the back mountain, so he went to inquire about it first, and he was not in a hurry to serve the young master.

"Young Master." Luo He greeted solemnly, then dismissed the domestic servant, and pushed Lin Jinqian's wheelchair into the house, "Someone died in the back mountain. It is said that a maid died on the back mountain last night."

"What's going on? Last night was grandpa's birthday. How could such a thing happen?"

"I haven't seen the specific situation. I'm not very clear. I just heard that after a heavy rain before dawn, a lot of blood flowed from the back mountain. The domestic helper went along to look and found a maid died on the back mountain."

Listening to Luo He's report, Lin Jinqian looked calm, and he was not unaware that the heavy rain fell in time.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Did Grandpa know?"

Luo He said: "The backyard is so noisy, everyone must know about it."

Standing behind the door, Mu Li was listening to the conversation between Lin Jinqian and Luo He, not knowing what it was like. Only at this moment did she understand what Lin Jinqian meant by "it's going to rain". No wonder he is sure that it will soon Someone found out.

In the bedroom, Lin Jinqian's conversation between master and servant continued.

He heard Luo He ask: "Young Master, I'm afraid this matter is unusual. It happened to be the old man's birthday yesterday. Why did someone die in the back mountain? The Lin family has lived here for hundreds of years. , but never before.”

"I'm afraid this matter will alarm the police." Luo He said hesitantly.

After a moment of silence, Lin Jinqian said neither sad nor happy: "This matter is not related to Lihuaxi, just pay attention to it properly, and you can tell the housekeeper later, if you need help, just ask."

"Yes."

"You go out, I will come out with my wife in a while."

"it is good."

Then there was the sound of the door closing.

After Mu Li finished changing and washing, she came out with a thin blanket on her arms. She came to Lin Jinqian's side and offered to cover his legs.

"It's cold, keep warm."

Lin Jinqian stared at her without blinking for a moment, seeing that her eyes were drooping and her expression was too calm, she should have adjusted, so she said, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast together."

Murray nodded and pushed his wheelchair out of the bedroom.
