Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 358: No Matter What, I Will Protect You

After being called out, Mu Donglin looked at Li Beinian in disappointment. He closed his eyes and said, “Forget it. Let’s stop pursuing the matter.”

Stop pursuing the matter.

If they continued to investigate, both of them would be hurt regardless of who was right.

Mu Donglin felt unexpectedly tired. One was his childhood friend whom he treated like his sister and the other was his fiancèe. He couldn’t afford to lose either of them.

Choosing to stop pursuing the matter was the best choice.

“Young Master Mu.” Li Meng was indignant. “I’m sure you know what sort of person Kerou is from a young age. I understand who she is and I’m sure you do too. Li Beinian has been trying to frame her with a few sentences and almost killed her. Even if she’s your fiancèe, she attempted murder! According to Article 232 of the Criminal Law of Guo Nation, if someone commits attempted murder, he or she will receive the death penalty, sentenced to life imprisonment or more than ten years’ imprisonment. In less severe cases, imprisonment can last up to three years! Someone like her deserves more than ten years of imprisonment!”

Mo Shengyun was upset and anxiously said, “Stop trying to bring others down! You’re not convincing at all. Where’s your evidence?”

“Hmph.” Li Meng refused to give up. “Look at the state she’s in. She’s so afraid that she can’t bear to say anything!”

Lin Kerou also looked at Li Beinian. She seemed to calm down as she pulled on Li Meng’s sleeve. “Meng Meng, forget it.” Her voice was nasal and full of grievance. “See, I’m fine...”

“She almost killed you!” Li Meng screamed. “How could you be so compassionate and stupidly let others take advantage of you?”

“That’s enough!” Mu Donglin said forcefully. “I said, let’s stop pursuing this matter.”

“You’re right.” Li Beinian sneered. “How can a person let someone take advantage of him or her?”

Mu Donglin’s face darkened and he seemed furious. “Do you really want to go to jail?” He growled.

“Why is it me who should go to jail?” Li Beinian stared at him coldly. “Do you believe whatever she just said?”

“Look at her being so stubborn. How shameless!” Li Meng raised her voice. “Call the police. We should never let someone like that off the hook!”

Mu Donglin stared at Li Beinian for a long time and sighed. “I know her. She won’t plot against you.”

“So it can only be me plotting against her?” Li Beinian laughed. “There’s nothing left to say, then.”

In the scorching sun, Li Beinian’s face was particularly icy. She raised her lip and slowly said, “Because she’s kind, she won’t do anything bad, and since I’m vicious, I can kill and commit arson.”

Mu Donglin suddenly panicked as if he was treading in uncharted territory. He instinctively retorted. “I didn’t mean that...”

“No matter what you mean,” Li Beinian interrupted him. “Let’s end our engagement right now.” The sun wrapped around her body and she seemed to glow as she spoke decisively.

“No way!” Mu Donglin immediately exploded.

However, he realized his mistake and looked at her seriously. “No matter what, I will protect you.”

Li Beinian’s lips twitched. “Did you know that Lin Kerou was the one who asked me to get on the boat, then?”

Mu Donglin was startled and did not understand what she meant.

“When she asked me to go on the boat, I did something to protect myself. Before I went on the boat, I started a recording.”

A gust of wind that had the saltiness of the ocean blew past.

Li Beinian’s body was thin, but she stood straight. “Didn’t you claim that I pushed you down? Let’s call the police and let them... clear your name.”

Lin Kerou suddenly started trembling and looked at her in disbelief.
