Chapter 142 Who is it?
Who exactly is in Chapter 142?
Li Chenxu's words only made things worse; Mu Xiaoyu was indeed a little hungry. So she nodded and, without saying anything more, went downstairs to eat with Li Chenxu.
Mu Xiaoyu originally thought it was still early, but when she went downstairs and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window, she was shocked to see the pitch-black night outside and realized that it was already so late.
She couldn't help but glance at Jing Li beside her with a hint of reproach: "It's so late, and you didn't even call me then. Your stomach isn't good to begin with, and if you're hungry, it'll be even worse for your stomach. What if your stomach hurts?"
People like Li Chenxu who frequently attend business meetings often drink alcohol. In addition, when he was young and impetuous, drinking was a regular occurrence. Before he reconciled with Mu Xiaoyu, he also ate irregularly, which naturally ruined his stomach.
"It's okay, it's only a short delay. Besides, I was so tired when I got back that I couldn't help but fall asleep on the sofa."
Since Li Chenxu had already said that, Mu Xiaoyu naturally couldn't bear to say anything harsh to him. So she didn't say anything more, took Li Chenxu's hand, and went to eat.
Both of them were busy with work today, and it was so late, so they were both a little hungry. So when they first started eating, neither of them said much, and they just kept their heads down and ate.
"I didn't tell you about Mu Pengzheng's situation back then because I was afraid it would hurt you. Besides, you and Mu Pengzheng have nothing to do with each other anymore, and I didn't want his situation to make you sad."
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Pengzheng suddenly spoke. Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu paused in her eating and subconsciously looked at Li Chenxu.
The other person had already put down their chopsticks and bowl, and as they spoke, their deep eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaoyu with an indescribable seriousness and earnestness.
Originally, Mu Xiaoyu hadn't taken the matter to heart, after all, Mu Pengzheng was, at most, a stranger with whom she shared blood ties. The most important thing now was to find the messenger.
But now, seeing Li Chenxu's serious face and worried look on her face, her heart felt as if it had been put into a warm stove, warm and cozy.
Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle softly a few times. Finally, under Li Chenxu's questioning gaze, she put down her chopsticks and gently stroked Li Chenxu's handsome face with her fair and delicate hands, tracing his exquisite eyebrows and eyes.
“Brother Shenxu, as I said before, I really don’t blame you at all. Mu Pengzheng really has nothing to do with me anymore. Whether he lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me.”
"But……"
Li Chenxu was clearly still hesitant about whether to believe Mu Xiaoyu's words, his face showing some hesitation and scrutiny, as if he was struggling with whether Mu Xiaoyu's words were true or false.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at Li Chenxu helplessly, and said, "I admit that when I heard the news that Mu Pengzheng was dead today, I felt a little complicated, but that was all. Brother Chenxu, you may not know about my family's past. The things Mu Pengzheng did to me and my mother, even if he died again, it wouldn't be enough to vent our anger. So, don't worry, and don't be afraid."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but simply gazed at Mu Xiaoyu quietly. In fact, he really wanted to tell Mu Xiaoyu that he knew, that he knew everything.
But now is not the time. Before things are cleared up, he doesn't want to drag Mu Xiaoyu into the mess. She just needs to live happily, and that's enough...
Neither of them had the habit of talking much during meals. After Mu Pengzheng had finished explaining his situation, they stopped talking. Only after finishing their meal did they go into the study together to talk, as if by unspoken agreement.
The matter of Mu Pengzheng is over, but that doesn't mean the matter of the letter is over.
Mu Xiaoyu's first suspicion was of Mu Pengzheng, and she even felt that Mu Pengzheng was closely involved in this matter. However, Mu Pengzheng is now dead. If it wasn't Mu Pengzheng, then who was the messenger? And who knew so much about what happened back then?
Mu Xiaoyu handed over all the letters and photos from today to Li Chenxu. Since Li Chenxu already knew about this, there was no need to hide it from him anymore. Perhaps Li Chenxu knew something she didn't, which would help resolve the matter.
Like Mu Xiaoyu, Li Chenxu's expression wasn't exactly pleasant when he saw the photos. However, compared to Mu Xiaoyu's outward display of emotion, Li Chenxu was much calmer.
He silently read the contents of the letter without speaking immediately, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, he finally said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this letter is likely the work of the same person who caused trouble at the last awards ceremony."
Mu Xiaoyu nodded: "That's what I think too. At first, I suspected it was Mu Pengzheng, but Mu Pengzheng is already dead. I can't think of anyone else besides him."
Li Chenxu didn't speak, but looked down at the letter in his hand, lost in thought. Mu Xiaoyu thought he was thinking about the person behind him, so she didn't disturb him, but just waited quietly for him to speak.
"Don't overthink this. I've been investigating what happened at the awards ceremony. Now that person has made another move, it just provides us with more evidence. If I'm not mistaken, he'll probably make another move soon. Before we catch him red-handed, none of us should act rashly. Let's see what his purpose is."
After a long silence, Li Chenxu finally spoke. Faced with such a significant matter, both Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu shared similar thoughts.
However, there was one thing that Mu Xiaoyu didn't tell Li Chenxu.
Having been reborn, she has been pondering who was so cruel as to want her dead. She had suspected many people before: Wu Qianru, Lin Xia, and even those who had relationships with Li Chenxu and herself. She had also suspected all the men and women who disliked her.
But now that things have come to this point, many things are proving that those people don't have the ability to harm her.
The events at this awards ceremony, along with today's letter incident, reminded Mu Xiaoyu of what had happened before.
She suspected that the person behind this might be the same murderer who killed her in her past life.
If it really is the same person, then just as Li Chenxu said, the other party is very likely to make further moves, and more than once. Their actions certainly won't be as minor as they are now...
