Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 867
Chapter 867: Is Mu Xichen Foolish?
Li Beinian frowned when she heard this. Then, she shifted her body and found a comfortable position to fall asleep in.
When a passing policeman saw her, he thought that she was just pretending to be asleep. However, when he heard her even breathing, he realized that she had really fallen asleep.
The policeman couldn’t help laughing to himself. He mumbled, “How big-hearted. You’re able to sleep when you’re detained on your wedding day?”
On the morning of his wedding day, the police suddenly came knocking on his door. Holding the “evidence” in their hands, they eventually “invited” him to the police station.
Mu Xichen was not surprised at all.
It was just that anyone who encountered such a thing would probably feel down.
It had been a long time since he last saw her.
It was as though a few centuries had passed.
When the police question criminals, there is only one word to keep in mind: endure.
They will ask a question a thousand times, till one becomes confused.
Unfortunately, this was Mu Xichen.
Not only did these policemen fail to confuse him, they were in turn, led by the nose several times. This made the men very angry, so they locked him up in a tiny dark room.
Mu Xichen did not panic at all. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
In places that he couldn’t see, many pairs of eyes were on him now.
What sort of man was Mu Xichen? Of course he knew about what went on behind interrogation rooms.
However, this person did not seem to be affected at all. He folded his arms and even smiled faintly.
It was as if he was doing it on purpose.
Mu Donglin slammed his fist on the table. Looking at Mu Xichen’s expression, he gritted his teeth and said, “You must pry his mouth open!”
This policeman had some ties with Mu Donglin. The reason he had brought him in was to give him face. Now that he had slammed the table and caused quite a commotion. The junior policeman panicked and said, “Young Master Mu, calm down!”
Mu Donglin turned around and said icily, “Let him be stubborn if he wants. Release Li Beinian first.”
The junior policeman was stunned. “You wish to bail her?”
“She doesn’t know anything. It’s useless to lock her up.”
“That’s right… but you were the one who wanted to lock her up. And now you wish to release her. What are you thinking…”
Mu Donglin did not answer and left very quickly.
The young policeman understood immediately.
Mu Donglin was most likely trying to do Li Beinian a favor to try and get into her good books?
Except… weren’t Mu Donglin and Li Beinian already history?
Could it be that the man was still obsessed with the woman?
Lin Ya too, knew that today was Mu Xichen’s wedding day.
However, he did not expect Mu Donglin to lose his cool and decide to take action on this day.
Not only that, he even bailed out Mu Xichen’s wife.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Ya’s usually gentle expression turned sinister. He slammed the document in his hand and whispered, “This idiot has been bewitched by that woman!”
Then, Lin Ya picked up his phone and dialed Lin Kerou’s number.
At the Mu family mansion.
Lin Kerou was reading the news on her phone with much interest.
Li Beinian was to have gotten married today, but instead, she was arrested by the police. Lin Kerou was extremely excited to hear such important news.
Furthermore, given the crime that Mu Xichen had committed, it would be impossible for Li Beinian to escape unscathed as his wife. Given this, she might be arrested and sentenced…
By then, no matter how much Mu Donglin liked Li Beinian, she would be a person with a criminal record.
How could someone with a criminal record be a celebrity?
Now, there were already people on the internet who disliked Li Beinian. Although they didn’t know who it was, the person who fanned the flames at this time must be Li Beinian’s enemy.
Li Beinian was about to lose her career and relationship!
The more Lin Kerou thought about it, the happier she felt. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her brother.
Lin Kerou was in a good mood, but when she saw her brother’s sudden call, her smile faded.
The girl respected her brother.
However, she was also very afraid of him.
He was very capable, more so than anyone else.
However, he had never been close to her. Even when she got married, Lin Ya only spoke a few words of congratulations to her as a newlywed. Then, he put down his expensive wedding gift and found an excuse to leave.
Their parents had chided Lin Ya a few times, but he would always brush them off.
She thought, perhaps Lin Ya was really too busy.
Until she saw Lin Ya take Lin Yuxin shopping for clothes and spend the entire morning with her. She saw the siblings enjoying themselves together…
Lin Kerou was hurt. At the same time that she was disappointed in her brother, she was also jealous of Lin Yuxin.
Seeing that it was a call from him, Lin Kerou let the phone ring for a while longer before answering, “Brother.”
When Lin Ya heard Lin Kerou’s voice, he did not notice anything amiss and said, “Do you know what Donglin has been up to recently?”
Lin Kerou paused.
It hadn’t been long since she started her confinement period. Mu Donglin had already been rather “busy” and would often disappear for an entire day. As his wife, Lin Kerou was already used to him being like this.
He was probably busy with the family business.
After all, many things had to be started afresh after the New Year.
However, from Lin Ya’s tone, it seemed that it wasn’t a simple question.
“Brother, did you hear something?”
Lin Ya chuckled. “Mu Xichen has been arrested – he was supposed to get married today. His wife was summoned too. But your husband bailed her out. Do you know about this?”
Lin Kerou widened her eyes. “What? Why did he bail her out?”
“Perhaps he still has feelings for her?” Lin Ya seemed to be asking, but he did not say much. “This is also your family matter. I don’t care so much, but Yuxin has become a full-time employee in the company. Dad and Mom want to celebrate the occasion. Why don’t you make a trip home with Donglin.”
Lin Kerou was already burning with rage over the news. When she heard that they were celebrating for Lin Yuxin, she felt even more bitter.
As a norm, shouldn’t a brother ask for an explanation from his brother-in-law in such a situation?
Lin Ya, on the other hand, changed the topic to Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin was his sister, but wasn’t she his sister too?
She couldn’t stop herself from sobbing. “Brother.”
Lin Ya asked, “Why?”
His tone was calm and business-like.
Lin Kerou’s felt a lump rising in her throat. She wanted to vent her anger but found herself unable to, given his response. Instead, she said “It’s alright, I understand.”
Lin Ya had no doubt about him and hung up very quickly.
Lin Kerou understood Lin Ya’s intention.
He wanted her to create a scene with Mu Donglin so that he wouldn’t have the thought of bailing Li Beinian out.
In fact, Lin Kerou found this intolerable.
She quickly called Mu Donglin. His phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
The man’s tone was icy and emotionless. “What’s the matter?”
“Brother Donglin, are you busy?” Lin Kerou tried to sound sweet.
In reality, she indeed had a very sweet and gentle voice.
Mu Donglin was immediately reminded of Li Beinian.
These two girls were truly, vastly different from each other.
Mu Donglin responded perfunctorily.
Lin Kerou continued, “My brother wants us to go over for a gathering. Hurry home and let’s go together. Coincidentally, he has something important to discuss with you.”
Mu Donglin sneered. “What important matter does he have to discuss with me? It’s nothing more than an interrogation.”
Mu Donglin could already imagine Lin Ya right in front of him.
The man was just pretending to be high and mighty, waiting for him to brown nose and suck up to him, then reprimand him in a condescending manner.
The man would berate him for being impatient, for being arrogant and for ruining his plans.
Ridiculous.
Without his help, how could Lin Ya sit so securely in that position?
Lin Kerou said, “If you haven’t done anything bad, why would he come after you?”
“Why, are you here to criticize me too? What did he tell you?”
“He said that Mu Xichen was locked up, but you went behind our backs to bail Li Beinian out!” Lin Kerou sounded a little sad and nasal. “I know Brother won’t lie to me. Brother Donglin… can’t you forget her?”
Lin Kerou’s attitude was not antagonistic, and she sounded like she was on the verge of tears. Her words were soft but they stung his heart. He couldn’t help but feel dejected.
“Brother Donglin, come home early, alright?”
Mu Donglin, who was sitting in the car, responded, “Okay, wait for me at home.”
“Okay!” Lin Kerou laughed happily and said like an obedient child, “I’ll wait for you at home then.”
Mu Donglin responded with a grunt and quickly hung up.
Li Beinian looked towards the entrance of the police station. She had only just found out that he had bailed her out, but she insisted on staying in the police station and refused to leave.
There were reporters squatting beside the car, ready to interview Mu Donglin as soon as he got out.
Feeling frustrated, Mu Donglin quickly drove away.
Li Beinian had already left the detention room and was napping on the chair, refusing to leave.
Reporters were waiting at the entrance of the police station. She had just scrolled through her phone and realized that the news of Mu Donglin coming to bail her out had gone viral online.
Now, all the netizens on various websites knew that Mu Donglin was deeply in love with her.
There were also many people who mocked him in the comments as they knew that he was married and had a wife.
However, Li Beinian did not pay much attention to all these. Instead, she wondered how Mu Xichen was doing.
In another corner of the police station.
Mu Xichen leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. Soon, T Jing’s voice came through. “It’s done, Boss.”
Mu Xichen smiled and kept his eyes shut, but he was obviously in a good mood.
The policeman who was watching him from the back of the interrogation room saw the smile on his lips and was puzzled. He said to his colleague, “Could he have gone mad?”
