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

Chapter 57

Those two simple sentences were like two serial bombs thrown into the bottom of Mu Li's heart, and the questions that had been buried for many days were blown out, pouring out like a spring.

She walked quickly and messily behind Lin Jinqian, and asked with a trembling voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Lin Jinqian looked sideways, glanced at her lightly, and returned to the tea table with an empty cup to pour tea, "Lin Yisheng should have told you that the Lin family wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the Mu family. He rushed back to the master in a hurry. House, isn't it just for you? It's really well-intentioned."

Not only did he know that she was involved in the investigation, but he also knew about Lin Yisheng's movements. How much eyeliner did he place around them?
It's too scary, the depth of the city of this man who lives in a wheelchair all day long has completely exceeded her imagination!
Mu Li looked at the calm and composed man, his movements of pouring tea were so smooth and handsome that one couldn't take his eyes off him, but it was such a seemingly perfect and harmless man with unfathomable thoughts.

For a moment, Mu Li didn't know what to say, or where to ask to solve his doubts.

Lin Jinqian poured a cup of tea for her, placed it on the other side of the tea table, and at the same time signaled her to take a seat opposite.

Mu Li sat down with a deep breath, silently taking a sip of tea.

"What do you want to ask, just ask directly. Today you don't have to hide anything, or even think about it." Lin Jinqian opened his mouth, his tone seemed to be a great favor.

Mu Li looked directly at him, pursed his lips for a few seconds, and reached his core, "Your legs are obviously healthy, why are you hiding them?"

Lin Jinqian was startled, as if he didn't expect the first question to be so sharp. He took a sip of tea, looked indifferent, and said flatly: "Some people don't want me to stand up, so I have to fulfill my intention."

"Who is that person?" Mu Li asked again, and a strong intuition told her that that person might be related to the murderer behind the scenes back then—I don't want Lin Jinqian to stand up and destroy everything around him, including his nominal wife .

Lin Jinqian said, "I don't know who it is."

"How could you not know?"

"If I knew, would I still have to endure it for so long?"

Mu Li was speechless, but he was speechless, so Lin Jinqian was trying his best?

"You really don't know?" Mu Li asked again without giving up.

Lin Jinqian picked up the tea, laughed in a low voice for the first time, but smirked, with a strong sense of self-deprecation, "What good do I get by lying to you?"

"The person who doesn't want you to stand up is the person who hurt me back then?"

Lin Jinqian raised his eyes, his deep and dark eyes stared unblinkingly at Mu Li's somewhat pale face, it could be seen that she was pretending to be calm, it seemed that no matter how long it had passed, she would be afraid when she mentioned that unbearable episode.

After a pause, he moved the purple sand cup away from his lips, his eyes fell on the steaming mouth of the pot, and he said softly: "I thought you would ask, is that person the one who killed the domestic servant?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Li frowned, wondering if the person he stood up had anything to do with killing the maid?
"It's nothing. You think it is, then it is." He said softly again, got up, and went to get another kind of tea from the cupboard, apparently to change the tea.

Mu Li sat stiffly, her mind was in a mess, she always felt that there were tens of thousands of forces competing, and when one of them was about to break through, it was blocked by something, which made her confused.

Lin Jinqian came back with new tea leaves and started to boil them with water. There was still a little in the cup. He tasted slowly and patiently waited for the new tea to taste.

The water in the pot began to boil, gurgling and tumbling, looking from the transparent pot body, it was as if seeing the various thoughts running around and fighting in the mind...

In the blink of an eye, Mu Li seemed to have seen something, and she got up abruptly. At the same time, Lin Jinqian turned off the function of boiling water, and the boiling water immediately subsided.

"You mean, Bai Zhenyi's death is related to what happened back then?"

Lin Jinqian remained silent and concentrated on making tea.

Mu Li felt a splitting headache and wanted to raise her hands to hold her head, but her hands were shaking helplessly. She closed her eyes, and in the darkness, many things that could not be seen clearly emerged one by one.

"I never knew what was going on with your legs, but I think I do. Maybe for a while, you couldn't really stand and walk, but now you're back."

"Because you don't know who actually killed you, you just keep pretending and being patient, and you want to find that person. As for me, I was just chosen by you to become your wife and the target of their persecution. "

"You may know who wants to destroy you, but you don't have definite evidence, so you can only swallow your anger and stay in Lihuaxi until the day you can retaliate."

"But what does this have to do with me? I never want to cling to power, I don't want to live a wealthy life, and I don't long for a luxurious home. Why should I be involved?"

"Why did you choose me to be your wife? A struggle that has nothing to do with me, why do you want to harm me? Why? Why? You know everything, why do you want to die?"

With the last heavy breath, crystal tears fell out of the eye sockets like broken pearls, falling down in big ones, ticking, ticking, on the tea table.

Mu Li didn't cry, she didn't cry, her whole body was enveloped and swallowed by extreme anger, but the tears flowed uncontrollably.

It wasn't just her tears that were broken, but also her voice, her tendons, and her heartbeat.

She closed her eyes hard and squeezed out the tears that filled her eyes. The tears were useless, and she didn't want Lin Jinqian to see her. She turned her back and tried her best to adjust her breathing and emotions.

Lin Jinqian looked at the tears dripping on the edge of the tea table, put down the glass pot, frowned slightly, and wrinkled the self-loathing in his eyes. He slightly held his slender and clean fingers, and listening to the restrained sobs, he gripped more and more. The tighter it is, as if it is suppressing something, holding back something.

After a while of silence, Murray asked again: "Since I came back, too many things have happened, how many of them are under your control?"

She turned around with no tears in her eyes, "Follow the current, let me stay in Lihuaxi through the agreement between me and my father; you knew it a long time ago when I arrived in Baigu, right? But you didn't Let Hou Yi drive me away. Is it your intention that I can participate in two cases?"

Lin Jinqian looked at her peacefully, lost the indifference and indifference of the past, and finally looked like an ordinary person. He picked up the pot again and made tea again.

Clear water pours out from the spout and pours over every corner of the teapot.

The man's voice spread slowly like a gurgling stream, "Whether it was then or now, I wanted to control all the changes, but things backfired. Whether it was five years ago or five years later, the kidnapping back then was fine. Whether it is the murder today, it is not expected."

"I found you in the basement that day, and I kept people waiting there for several months, but no one showed up, but after more than a year, I found a pile of bones in the basement, who would go there to kill people? ?”

"Actually, I have never interrupted the investigation over the years, but unfortunately I found nothing. Sometimes I even thought, maybe I thought too complicated? Maybe the pile of bones has nothing to do with the kidnapping, but another accident?"

"However, it turns out that it's not too complicated. It is true that I did ask Hou Yi to help you get in touch with these two cases, but I don't expect you to find out anything, but I want you to see clearly the stakes. "

"You shouldn't come back. From the first day you appeared in Lihuaxi, I told you that you should stay in the UK and never come back for the rest of your life. If you are there, I will send you regular remittances. Come back and be restrained by all parties."

He spoke slowly, just like his movements of making tea.

"Your father was obsessed with interests. He took you to Lihuaxi and tried his best to make you appear in front of me and let you marry into the Lin family. He just wanted to gain a relationship with the Lin family and make money."

"Now that your mother is dead, I didn't see him to visit when she was lying on the hospital bed. When she was gone, he took away the ashes and used them as a bargaining chip to control you. Everyone in the Mu family knew that you were not easy, but no one Reach out."

"You want to find out who was behind the scenes back then. You are obviously close to the truth, but you can't go forward, because you can't let others know that you were the one who was violated back then. Besides, even if it is exposed, the truth may not be revealed."

"In the kidnapping back then, no matter whether it was committed by one person or in partnership, the two involved were both dead and there was no proof.

"You said, in such a place where there is no freedom, the matter has passed for so long, and there is no hope of finding out. What's the point of staying?"

While talking, the tea was ready, he asked softly, and handed a cup of tea to Mu Li.

Mu Li stood there in a daze, staring at the cup of clear tea without blinking, which was still steaming, but his heart was at a loss.

After a pause for a few seconds, she stepped forward and took the tea from him.

Lin Jinqian also picked up his own cup, took another sip, and looked leisurely. He didn't care about Mu Li's answer, and drank the tea in one sip. After finishing his sentence, he picked up the small-leaf red sandalwood prayer beads beside him, and spun them silently. .

Mu Li was still standing stiffly, the warmth of the tea passed through the purple sand cup to her fingertips, and she slowly held a cup of tea tightly in her palm, as if she was holding an obsession that she had refused to let go for many years.

After a moment of silence, she asked again: "My father said that you chose me back then, and you asked me to marry you by name, isn't that so?"

"To hide his thoughts, of course he wants to say that. But he's not wrong. It's true that I asked you to marry me by name, but he knows best why I made such a decision. "

"Then why did you decide that way?"

"Why don't you ask your father?"

"If he'd told me, he wouldn't have put the problem on you."

"But I don't want to tell you either. What's the use of telling you now? What else can I change? You are already Mrs. Lin, not to mention that you have worked so hard to keep this false name, do you still want to give up?"

Mu Li pursed his lips tightly, and was speechless for a while.

Lin Jinqian let out a deep breath, "That's about the end of the question. You go, go back to the UK, and spend the past five years in peace. You were victimized by 'Mrs. Lin', and your life in the UK , I will still protect you from food and clothing.”
