Chapter 893: Past and Present Life (7)
Except that, the results were chilling.
The answer was provided by Mu Donglin.
The channels were complicated and the content was complex.
Needless to say, there was a mix of truth and falsehood.
The content was, of course, Li Beinian was pregnant. They were a pair of very healthy twins and the children were Mu Donglin’s.
All the previous entanglements with Mu Xichen were part of Mu Donglin and Li Beinian’s collusion.
He wanted Li Beinian to seduce Mu Xichen. Once she succeeded, she would lure him into making a deal with Mu Donglin.
Now that the deal was done, Li Beinian naturally had to retire.
However, what Mu Xichen did not know was that Li Beinian, whom Mu Donglin had “sent to seduce” him, was no longer complete.
Although Li Beinian was pregnant, she had lost her tongue and her memory.
The once-lively woman had been transformed into a puppet. She was manipulated by everyone and thought of herself as a mute living in bliss.
After hearing this news, Mu Xichen blew his top. But as he thought more deeply about it, he felt that something was amiss.
Just at the point he was about to investigate further, the narcotics police came forward to conduct a search.
Besides these policemen, there were also many men from the special forces.
They were here to deal with him.
Following this, Mu Xichen was detained for a long time.
After a series of lawsuits, the man underwent all sorts of experiences, such as being slandered by everyone, and was completely ruined.
Many of the soldiers who had been associated with Mu Xichen in the past, were either forced by Lin Ya, or bribed by Mu Donglin, to turn against Mu Xichen and make accusations against him.
Mu Xichen was unexpectedly unperturbed when he found out about it.
After he had calmly gone through the first trial, he was sentenced to death.
This situation was almost identical to Mu Donglin’s present plight.
The difference was that, only the Mu family was willing to make an all-out effort for Mu Donglin.
Besides Mu Che, Mu Xichen also had the Mo family, the entire Swift Eagle, as well as the soldiers and businessmen who had received Mu Xichen’s favor in the past. There were also members of the brotherhood – people who were close to him.
However, the second trial was still rejected. The third trial was held in the Supreme Court, and the original verdict remained unchanged.
Death sentence.
There was no room for negotiation.
Of course, Mu Donglin and Lin Ya were behind all these. It was beyond everyone’s imagination that Mu Xichen would be accused of these crimes.
In the end, after giving the death sentence, they even delayed the execution for three days.
Execution in three days.
The other Mu Donglin had come to the prison to visit. Mu Xichen did not look as pathetic as he had imagined.
He sat in the centre chair and narrowed his eyes at Mu Donglin the moment he walked in.
He looked at Mu Donglin as though Mu Donglin was a common man on the street. There was no resentment or other emotions in his gaze.
Mu Donglin stopped in front of the metal-clad wall and said, “Your brothers are still trying to find ways to rescue you. How sad.”
Mu Xichen smiled when he heard this.
Because he had not groomed his face for a long time, a layer of stubble covered the lower part. With this smile, the fatigue on his face seemed to vanish as he returned to looking very much like how he always did – the high-spirited Mu Xichen.
Observing Mu Xichen’s attitude, the man sneered. “Why, nothing else matters to you now that you know you’re going to die?”
Mu Xichen leaned his head back slightly and looked at him with cold indifference. “Everyone will die sooner or later.”
Mu Donglin really hated this side of him, acting like it didn’t bother him when he was obviously at a disadvantage.
There was no gratification at all.
Mu Donglin’s eyes darkened. He stepped forward and said unhurriedly, “Is that so? Have you ever thought about what would happen to the two bastard children if you died?”
The two bastard children.
Those words finally got to Mu Xichen and it set him off.
His casual demeanor faded as he glared at Mu Donglin and narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”
Seeing that he had finally reacted, Mu Donglin seemed much happier.
The invisible Mu Donglin noticed that the other Mu Donglin’s hand was in his pocket.
This was his habitual action.
Whenever he was feeling smug or nervous, he would put his hands in his pockets, and it would make him look tall and powerful.
Mu Donglin’s expression did not change much, but this small movement betrayed him.
He was feeling very smug now and continued, “Didn’t you know that? The woman you like, that mute – she’s pregnant.”
Mu Xichen frowned and his dark eyes narrowed.
His gaze was like an icy wind that swept across Mu Donglin’s face, as though it was a knife that would slice him to shreds.
But very quickly, Mu Xichen’s gaze relaxed and he sneered. “So?”
“I don’t suppose you know,” Mu Donglin smiled faintly as he continued, “I’ve never touched her.”
Mu Xichen’s expression finally turned frosty.
Sensing the change in the man’s emotions, Mu Donglin smiled radiantly. “We’ve been married for three years, but I’ve never slept with her.”
Mu Xichen seemed to finally show some emotions. He gripped the armrests of his chair tightly and shouted with a sullen expression, “Mu Donglin!”
Mu Donglin smiled even more happily now, and glanced at the other man as though he was being entertained by a clown. If it weren’t for the wrong setting, he might have tossed the clown some loose change.
Mu Donglin continued, “It’s strange though. Before I married this woman, she loved me like there was no tomorrow. After being neglected by me for a period of time, she actually gave her love to someone else. And oh, what a coincidence that the adulterer she had chosen was you. Do you think I sent her?”
Mu Xichen tightened his grip around the armrests. His veins were bulging and his expression was vile and twisted.
He glared at the gloating Mu Donglin, the expression on his face enough to send a chill down anyone’s spine.
“Oh well, after all, nothing happened between us. However, she’s still my wife in name. In your eyes, she’s considered my woman, so you don’t trust her. You even think that the twins are actually mine, isn’t that right?”
“Bastard!” Mu Xichen cursed angrily, but his eyes were still full of bewilderment. He didn’t completely believe it, but his heart was beating faster all the time, and the muscles in his arms were tense.
Mu Xichen seemed to have thought of something and shut his eyes tightly, as if feeling rather helpless. After a long silence, he asked, “Is what you said true?” He paused and opened his eyes. “I am running out of time, Mu Donglin.”
