Chapter 872: Not Mu Xichen’s Style
And now, it had become evidence of Mu Donglin’s crime?
Lin Kerou’s heart was pounding. A terrifying thought entered her mind.
However, before this thought was fully formed, Lin Kerou dismissed it.
“Impossible!”
Mu Donglin was his brother-in-law!
How could he have done this?
It must be a coincidence!
Lin Kerou’s strange behavior quickly attracted the attention of the people around. Before they could ask her, Lin Kerou turned around and said, “I want to see my husband. I want to see Mu Donglin!”
Mu Donglin was brought in at the last minute. At that time, he had just spent himself and was only wearing a thin sleeping robe, looking disheveled.
Now, he was sitting in the interrogation room, looking exhausted. He put his palms together and rested his fingertips on his chin. He stared straight ahead, seemingly deep in thought.
When he heard the door open, Mu Donglin looked up and saw Lin Kerou.
Lin Kerou’s eyes turned red at once when she saw that Mu Donglin was handcuffed. However, she could only look at him through the pane of gla.s.s. “Brother Donglin…”
On seeing Lin Kerou, Mu Donglin’s initially worried expression quickly turned cold.
He looked at Lin Kerou’s reddened eyes and smiled. “That was a really good show.”
Lin Kerou felt a stabbing pain in her heart as she started, “Brother Donglin, there must be a misunderstanding. Don’t worry, I will find evidence to get you out as soon as possible.”
Mu Donglin smiled bitterly in mockery of himself.
Evidence?
It was easier said than done!
At this point in time, the evidence against him was irrefutable. It was as if the police had timed it perfectly to arrest him. He had placed the envelope on the study table, in plain sight.
Mu Donglin had always been confident that no one would dare to enter his study. That was why he hadn’t thought twice about leaving it there.
But now, he was caught in his own trap. Even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn’t.
Except, was it really such a coincidence?
These people didn’t choose any other time to turn up, but at a time when people should be resting. Were they afraid that he’d run away?
Lin Kerou’s heart ached even more when she saw his expression. She tried to comfort him. “This morning, everyone thought that Mu Xichen was done for. But isn’t he fine now? Brother Donglin, I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise!”
But even as she spoke these words, she felt uncertain. “I’ll look for my eldest brother. Surely he will have a solution!”
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Kerou had already turned and walked out, as though she had found a life-saving straw.
Hearing Lin Kerou’s hopeful tone, Mu Donglin closed his eyes.
Even Mu Xichen, who had been in a desperate situation this morning, was able to dig deep for drastic measures to protect himself. Now that he had been arrested, surely Mu Xichen must be ready to retaliate with a flawless plan.
According to Mu Donglin’s understanding of Mu Xichen, once the man made a move, it wouldn’t be his style to let his enemy get away alive.
Perhaps Lin Ya really had a solution, but would he take such a huge risk to protect him?
Most likely, not.
Lin Kerou drove to the Lin family’s house that very night and rang the doorbell many times before someone opened the door.
The servant was in her pajamas and a thin jacket. Obviously, she had been awakened from her sleep.
When she saw Lin Kerou, she was obviously very surprised. “Miss, why are you here?”
She quickly opened the door.
The night frost was heavy. Lin Kerou rushed in, bringing a fresh gust of icy wind. She asked, “Where’s my brother?”
