Chapter 510: Indulging His Criminal Ways
Father Lin was an elderly artist.
All his life he had practiced self-cultivation, no one had ever seen his temper flare as it did today.
Mu Che sighed in response and said, “This would depend on the child.”
“Depend on the child?” Father Lin spat in fury. “You’re just indulging in his criminal ways!”
Lin Ya looked towards Mu Che and started, “Uncle Mu, although we, the Lin family, are not exceptionally wealthy, we come from a respectable lineage of well-known individuals. We’re strict with our children’s upbringing. A daughter of our family has been bullied by your son. Given that both of them are unmarried and have not been match-made with someone else, I’m of the opinion that...”
“No way!” Mu Donglin protested immediately. He turned icy and continued, “What’s this... I’ve already said, it wasn’t me!”
“We’ll see you in court, then!” Father Lin trembled as he picked up the tablet from the floor. Following this, he reached out to grab his daughter’s hand and said in a shaky voice, “Let’s go. We’ll sue him. We’ll sue this rascal, I can’t be bothered about saving my own face! If we can’t preserve the dignity of the Lin Family, then we’ll make sure that the Mu Family doesn’t get away with it either!”
Mu Che was alarmed.
Father Lin was an artist, and his words held great weight in the arts circle.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was an important figure!
If word of this embarrassing situation got out, not only would it look bad on the Lin Family, the Mu Family’s reputation would be ruined as well!
“Hang on!” Mu Che stepped into Father Lin’s path and said, “The children are grown-ups, why don’t you ask Kerou what her wishes are.”
Lin Kerou kept silent as she turned to look at Mu Donglin.
The man, on the other hand, had never felt this powerless all his life.
They had proof.
Whether it was that stain on the bed or the surveillance footage, both were solid evidence.
Even though he knew that the person in the video wasn’t him, the resemblance was too uncanny.
Apart from the fact that the face couldn’t be seen, the other features were an exact resemblance.
His car, his watch, his suit, right down to the tie that the person was wearing.
Mu Donglin’s emotions were complex as he faced Lin Kerou.
Her face was tear-streaked and her eyes glistened as she returned his stare, as though she was going to burst into tears again any moment.
Mu Donglin hesitated.
He fell silent for a moment and looked away.
It wasn’t him.
He hadn’t done such a thing.
How could he admit something he didn’t do?
Lin Kerou froze as she studied his expression.
“How could this be...” she whispered as tears started rolling down her cheeks. “This cannot be happening.”
“Mu Donglin, this is rape! An offense!” Lin Ya said in a muted warning tone. “I can have you put away for ten years, you’d better believe it.”
Those words were like a wake-up call.
That’s right.
Lin Ya was a mayor. The mayor of Guang City.
And Lin Kerou was his little sister, nothing less.
As much as he wasn’t close to his family, they were still family.
He had been long-time buddies with Lin Ya, and their friendship was on the verge of being soured at this critical point...
It wasn’t worth it!
At this thought, Mu Donglin cast his gaze on Lin Kerou again.
Her face bore the scarlet welling of the slap. Tears were flowing from her eyes, but she bit her lips and did not cry aloud.
He began to waver.
He shut his eyes, then opened them again and looked towards Lin Ya. With an icy sneer, he said, “Is that a threat?”
Suddenly, Lin Ya’s face took on his usual expression.
Genial but with underlying currents, he said meaningfully, “Do you think it’s a threat?
