Chapter 929: Finale (1)
Mu Xichen did not expect such an answer.
He was stunned for a moment before he felt as though his heart had completely melted.
Smiling subconsciously, he whispered. “Wait for me under the covers. I’ll be right back.”
Li Beinian’s voice was teary, but she smiled through her tears. “Okay.”
After Mu Xichen hung up, T Jing, who was next to him, was immediately alerted. “Boss, are you leaving already?”
“Yes I’m going.” Mu Xichen had already tidied things up and was putting on his jacket. He picked up his car key and organized the documents before handing them over to T Jing. “I’ll leave it to you to sort it out for Ah Ye.”
T Jing started to protest, “…That’s just a little difficult…”
“I heard that your brother has asked you to go back to help out recently?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Go home after you’re done. You may take paid leave.”
T Jing’s eyes lit up as he laughed. Almost jumping in joy, he exclaimed, “Boss, you’re awesome. You’ll definitely complete the mission!”
The only response was the sound of the man leaving and shutting the door behind him.
When Mu Xichen arrived at the hotel, Li Beinian had just taken a shower and was lying in bed.
She sensed his return, and how he had quietly tiptoed towards her. She looked at him in silence.
The lights in the room had been switched off and the only light came in through the window. It was dim and hazy.
It was past five in the morning and the sky was still dark. This morning, the weather seemed particularly gloomy. It was as if something bad was about to happen.
Mu Xichen turned around and met her clear and bright eyes.
They were so bright they seemed teary.
Mu Xichen saw that his little precious wife was silently sizing him up, then suddenly the tears in her eyes welled up and she lunged at him.
Li Beinian practically jumped into his embrace. Throwing her arms around him tightly, she pressed her face against the side of his neck.
Mu Xichen stood up straight and wrapped his arms around her body. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt her trembling.
It was subtle, almost like he was only imagining it.
He drew her to him firmly and patted her back without a word as he carried her to the bed.
After placing her on the bed, he sat down and brushed the hair away from her forehead.
Li Beinian held his hand tightly and whispered, “Where have you been?”
Mu Xichen seemed to have realized something. He relaxed his frown and explained, “I went to settle some matters. Uh, it was something urgent.”
“Was it related to Mu Donglin?”
“Somewhat, but not completely.” Mu Xichen straightened her body and drew the blanket up to cover her. He continued, “It’s mainly Lin Ya. We’re sorting out the evidence against him.”
“Lin Ya?” When Li Beinian heard this name, the image of his arrogant face appeared in her mind. She could see him standing before their tombstone, calmly and regretfully saying, “Ha, how pitiful.”
In her previous life, Lin Ya, Mu Donglin, and Lin Kerou were the ones who had the last laugh.
She asked a little nervously, “What crime did Lin Ya commit?”
Mu Xichen replied, “All the charges made against Mu Donglin can be traced back to him.”
Li Beinian widened her eyes. “Including smuggling?”
Mu Xichen nodded.
She probed further, “What will happen to him?”
Mu Xichen frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he gave a conservative estimate. “If we succeed, at least a life sentence.”
Li Beinian’s heart sank.
In other words, if they didn’t succeed, Lin Ya could very well continue to sit in his position and get away with it?
