Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 729: A Token of Love

Not everyone liked having power.

Li Beinian knew very well that once a person had power, it would become addictive.

Some people liked money because money could buy power.

Some people liked power because power could be exchanged for more money.

These two things had always complemented each other.

Lin Ya wanted power, so he also liked money.

Coincidentally, the Rothschild family was like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

He wanted money and power. It was understandable that he had his eyes on the Rothschild family.

At the same time, Li Beinian knew very well that Lin Ya was not the only one coveting this fat sheep.

He wouldn’t be able to handle it.

It was too hot a potato for him.

She, on the other hand, was afraid of having it, and had no desire for it either.

Noticing her silence, Mu Xichen spoke again, “You’ve been away for so many years and he had never thought of looking for you. It’s been 21 years since he came to Xia Nation. Why do you think he came here this time?”

Li Beinian asked in a daze, “Why?”

Mu Xichen looked at her and pursed his lips. “Because he lost something in Xia Nation and had to come back to look for it.”

Li Beinian’s mind went blank and she blurted out, “Does he know that I’m in Xia Nation?”

Mu Xichen suddenly sneered. “I have no idea.”

Li Beinian blinked. She felt that something was amiss.

Mu Xichen rarely acted this way.

He made it clear that he despised Nico.

When he saw her expression, Mu Xichen looked away and said in a faint voice, “Back then, he gave Bei Xiaonian a token of love. Later on, the elderly president and Bei Xiaonian passed away in an accident, and that item disappeared.”

“What was it?” Li Beinian suddenly asked. “Could it be a cane?”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xichen’s eyes narrowed. “Was this also in your dream?”

The question made her feel inexplicably guilty. She coughed lightly and replied, “No, it’s just a guess.”

“A guess?” Mu Xichen repeated her words. “What’s your basis?”

Mu Xichen looked at Li Beinian sharply, making her feel even more guilty. She picked up her cell phone and said honestly, “Didn’t Hailang send you a picture? I saw it here.”

She clicked on the photo Chi Hailang had sent and placed the photo of Lin Kerou holding the cane in front of Mu Xichen. “There’s obviously something missing here at the centre. They’ve PhotoShop-ed a diamond into it, but don’t you think it looks odd?”

As she spoke, Li Beinian shifted the photograph around.

Seeing that Mu Xichen’s gaze was fixed on it, Li Beinian took the opportunity to say, “I thought it should have been a ruby. What do you think?”

Mu Xichen looked up and paused. Then he stood up and said, “Come over here.”

He strode upstairs.

Li Beinian followed closely behind and watched as Mu Xichen turned on his computer.

She had used his computer a few times previously. Although she didn’t know anything about security features, it was said that T Jing had installed and improved the security system on it. In T Jing’s words, unless it was his own teacher, it wouldn’t be possible for anyone else to crack it.

As for the equipment itself, what more could be said about its specifications? He only had to hit the start button, and within two seconds, he was already in the midst of opening up an unknown document. Then the screen went black. It was a window with a folder at the center.

Mu Xichen opened it. The first photograph was of Nico.
