Lin Manqing leaned in Li Muchen's broad arms and gently stroked his skin, which was as delicate and flawless as jade after experiencing the thunder tribulation.
"Mu Chen, why did you give her another chance to kill you?"
"Huh? Are you talking about that Xiao Zheng?"
"That's right, it couldn't be because of your relationship with the Mo family. She assassinated you three times. This reason is not sufficient and it is not like your usual style."
"If it were before, when she pretended to be Zhou Shaoyi and came to kill me, I would have killed her."
Li Muchen looked at the ceiling and sighed.
"Now I finally understand what Master means by the mortal world. Originally, I entered the mortal world in order to cut off the mortal world and seek a breakthrough. As a result, since entering the mortal world, more and more things have happened, and more and more people have been around me.
, I have more and more ties."
"She is a descendant of the Mohist family. I have read "The Five Elements in the Pillow of Mozi", and I have a connection with the Mohist family. This is one of them."
"I have no enmity with the Mo family. There must be a reason why she came to assassinate me. I have to find out. This is the second one."
"The several assassinations she carried out were all aimed at me and no innocent people were harmed. Even Zhou Shaoyi was left alive, which shows that she is not a villain. This is the third point."
"The inheritance of the Mo family is secretive, and there are very few descendants. Her killing me was just an assassin's mission. If I kill her, I will become enemies with the Mo family from now on. Of course I am not afraid, not even the heavens, but I have you and Brother Mashan by my side now.
, there is Dingxiang, there is Mr. Lang, there is Housekeeper Hou, there are so many people. I can destroy the Qin family with a flip of my hand, and I can kill the master with my hands, but I cannot kill all the Mohist disciples in the world. With the Mohist family
Once the assassination method develops into a vendetta, I cannot guarantee your safety. This is the fourth and most important reason."
"I gave her a chance, so that no matter what happens in the end, her disciples will have no reason to trouble the people around me."
"So that's it, then...are you really going to take her in and make her...yours?"
Li Muchen was stunned for a moment, as if waking up from a dream, and said with a smile: "So this is why you were unhappy yesterday. Are you jealous?"
"No!" Lin Manqing didn't want to admit it, "I'm just worried about you."
"Little fool!" Li Muchen gently scratched her nose, "If she could kill me, I would have died countless times."
"But this time is different. This time she will go all out and use all means. You said that the Mo family is very mysterious and has many powerful means, such as mechanism skills."
"It also depends on who is using it. Whether it is a machine technique or a hidden weapon, it must be supported by strength. In the face of absolute strength, these are all miraculous tricks. No matter what means she uses, there is no way she can hurt me."
"What if it's a honey trap?"
"Ah?" Li Muchen was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and put his arm around Lin Manqing's shoulders, "Unless she becomes like you."
Lin Manqing hummed and pinched him hard, pretending to be displeased on her face, but her heart was shaken.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't do it last time?"
"What not?"
"Hey..."
"You can't learn it!"
"How do you learn this?"
"Uh...what..."
Li Muchen touched his head and was thinking about how to explain when his cell phone rang.
The call was from Chu Yao.
"My brother is dead. My dad will most likely take his anger out on you. You..." Chu Yao hesitated on the other end of the phone and finally sighed, "I will try my best to do my dad's job."
Li Muchen knew that Chu Yao was not worried about his safety, but worried about the Chu family.
He put down the phone and stared at the ceiling in trance.
This matter seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it seemed to be inextricably connected.
The newly opened situation in Beijing is facing another change.
"Who called?" Lin Manqing asked.
"Chu Yao."
"Chu Yao? What's going on?"
"Chu Zhe is dead."
"Ah?" Lin Manqing was surprised, "Did... Xiao Zheng do it?"
…
Chu Zhe's body was parked in a single room of the funeral parlor, and the undertaker had just arranged his appearance.
It is said that he died in a tragic manner, with his eyes blinded, his fingers cut off, and a part of his body that was particularly important to a man chopped into pieces.
The coroner said he died of pain.
In addition to Chu Zhe, seven or eight people died, including Chu Zhe's bodyguards and his friends.
They died in the clubhouse.
Witnesses said that the person who killed them was Wu Daming.
But Wu Daming was confirmed to have died earlier.
This makes this murder case very confusing.
Chu Yao originally didn't want to tell Xiao Zheng's story because it would involve herself.
But the Chu family soon found out about Dai Ting. All the deceased were those who participated in kidnapping Dai Ting and humiliating her.
Everyone knows that Dai Ting is Chu Yao's best friend, and Chu Yao and Chu Zhe are at odds with each other. The conflict between the two siblings has intensified after the last incident of Li Muchen buying a car. It has almost been put on the table and everyone knows it.
So naturally, Chu Yao became the number one suspect.
Facing Chu Zhenqing's anger, Chu Yao had no choice but to tell Xiao Zheng about assassinating Li Muchen.
But in the eyes of others, this sounds like a made-up story, full of fantasy and without any logic.
Chu Zhenqing said with a cold face: "Do you think I will believe it?"
"Dad, you have to believe me, everything I say is true!"
"I don't object to your alliance with the Li family. You brothers and sisters have different ideas and compete with each other. It doesn't matter. Your eldest brother often stumbles you, but he never thought of taking your life! You are so cruel that you killed
Your biological brother!"
"I didn't! Dad, I really didn't! Everything I said is true!"
"Humph, even if the story you made up is true, don't you have any intention of harming your brother? Since the assassin said he wanted to avenge Dai Ting at that time, why didn't you warn your brother? Why didn't you report it to me? You are
Killing with a borrowed knife!"
Chu Yao was stunned for a moment. To be fair, did she really not think about it this way?
This thought filled her with fear. She even hated herself a little, just like she used to hate her brother.
"No!" Chu Yao shouted hysterically, "That's not what I thought! I didn't kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
"So someone borrowed your knife to kill people?" Chu Zhenqing said coldly, "The bodyguards I sent around your brother are all masters among masters. Even if the master takes action, it is impossible not to send a warning signal.
Come out. In the capital, besides Xiao Sheng, only Li Muchen can do it."
"No, no, it's not Mr. Li..." Chu Yao wanted to explain, but found that she couldn't come up with good evidence or reasons, and her words were so pale.
"Still talking for him! What kind of deal did you make between you? Are you helping Li Muchen? Or is Li Muchen helping you? Come here, lock up the lady. No one is allowed to let her out without my order! In addition,
, capture that Dai Ting."
Chu Yao was taken away.
A middle-aged man next to him said to Chu Zhenqing: "Master, do you want to take action against the Li family?"
Chu Zhenqing's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was silent for a long time before saying, "Who in the capital can directly touch a person like this who can destroy the Qin Clan with one hand? Just wait for the opportunity!"
