Chapter 357


    Qin Muchen opened his mouth and replied in a rather croaky voice, "No."


    Initially, he was worried that Su Yizi might really be the one who killed Qin Li, and because of many


    concerns, he stopped the investigations after that. Back then, he wasn''t suspicious of Gong Shuzhe,


    since he had no motive. And another reason was, he still had an inexplicable longing for this biological


    father of his, who was never involved in his own life or upbringing. Even when he was the influential


    and prominent President of LK as everybody knew him as, it didn''t mean that Qin Muchen didn''t have


    any expectations of his father.


    Qin Li had a free and easy-going personality. When he was really young, she told him that she broke


    up with Gong Shuzhe peacefully, and had no regrets nor hatred for him. If he wished to see him, she


    would also approve of it.


    This added on to the reasons why he had some expectations of Gong Shuzhe. Since a woman like his


    mother wouldn’t have fallen in love with a terrible man, his father must be an upright and special


    person. But at this point now, it seemed that they were not far from the truth. In fact, after questioning


    Su Yuanming thest time, he already had his doubts on Gong Shuzhe.


    He spent some time epting the possibility of such an oue, but everything after that was already


    beyond his control. Before he could properly resolve this matter, someone already exposed it.


    Startled, Su Ziyue wiped away her tears in anguish and spoke through her blocked nose, "I''m sorry, but


    I''m a little confused right now. Let''s sleep in separate rooms tonight. I need to calm down a little." With


    that, she opened the door, got out of the car and headed straight for the vi, while he stared at her


    back with a sullen face.


    In the afternoon, he found out that the dozens of mainstream media who made the report had received


    an anonymous package with the DNA report attached. It was the DNA report of both his and Gong


    Shuzhe’s.


    Even the media was unaware of the person who sent them the package and dared not report on it in


    the beginning. After all, it involved Qin Muchen, and it wouldn''t have been a smart move to offend him.


    Despite that, more and more news from the media started to report on it, and the others followed suit


    one after another. There was no way to find out who was behind this. Did that person find out about this


    on purpose or it was an idental discovery? The anonymous person didn''t ask for a reward either, so


    he or she was obviously not after mary gains. Just who was the one behind this and what was his


    aim?


    …


    In the guest room, Su Ziyue stayed up all night without catching any sleep. And for the first time in


    history, Qin Muchen didn''t go and look for her. The next morning, just as she was about to go


    downstairs, she saw Qin Muchening from the opposite direction at the stairway. Although he


    looked good, he seemed a little pale, which was proof that he didn''t sleep wellst night too.


    Su Ziyue asked, "Did you sleepte against night? What time did you go to bed?" He is finally feeling


    better from his gastric problems recently, but is he now sleepingte again? Does he not care about his


    health at all?


    His dark eyes glimmered at her words as he looked at her with bright eyes. "I went to bed early, but I


    just couldn''t sleep that well." He couldn''t fall asleep by himself, but he dared not go and look for her for


    fear that things might backfire on him for being too clingy.


    His stare made her feel inexplicably uneasy. Besides thinking too muchst night, she couldn’t fall


    asleep either because she was not used to sleeping alone. And so, both of them stood at the top of the


    staircase for a few minutes before they finally went down.


    “Come with me to meet someone,” Qin Muchen said out of the blue while they were having breakfast


    silently.


    It was a Saturday and they didn’t have to work. Su Ziyue asked, “Who are you going to meet?”


    He replied with one word, “Him.”


    Immediately, she understood who he meant—Gong Shuzhe. No matter what, she had to meet him


    once again, and so she nodded her head in silence. Even when things were starting to be clearer


    now, she was still unable to connect the dots. So how did Qin Li die? Who was the real killer? What


    exactly did Gong Shuzhe do in between?


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    In fact, after calming herself down overnight, she could already guess some of the points. Liu Zipei


    mentioned Qin Li when she was speaking with Gong Shuzhe. ording to the pattern in many murder


    cases, the culprits were usually acquaintances of the victim.


    If that was really the case, then there could only be one possibility—Gong Shuzhe was the one who


    murdered Qin Li, because he was once her lover and they knew each other well before. Astonished by


    her own deduction, she turned her head suddenly to stare at him.


    By now, Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue were already seated in the car, and were ready to set off to meet


    Gong Shuzhe. While he was driving, besides looking a little pale, Qin Muchen appearedposed as


    usual, as if he was not affected at all by this matter. This was how this man had always been;


    regardless of the situation, he would hide his emotions so meticulously that she could only pry it out,


    not even when she was observant.


    “You…” she began to speak with him, but had no idea where to start.


    Instead, he suddenly spoke, “I’m sorry for hiding so many things from you from the beginning. At first, I


    didn’t think that there was a need to tell you. Later on, I didn’t know how to open up about it, and ended


    up recoiling like a coward.”


    A look of surprise shed across her face at his words, but he was looking straight ahead instead of at


    her. With his gaze fixed ahead, he continued, “In the beginning, I didn’t suspect him at all. That was


    because just like how you firmly believe that your father wouldn’t do such a thing, I believed in him as


    well, even though I never lived together with him before.” He paused and his voice was unusually low.


    “I would like to keep on believing, just like you.”


    But it was not possible now when the truth was almost in front of their eyes. He had poured out his


    heart to her, and he believed that she would be able to ept it after calming down for a night. Indeed,


    she was able to ept it. Qin Muchen. He was actually very innocent as well.


    By now, they had already reached the entrance of Lumiere Jade House, but they didn’t get out of the


    car immediately. Su Ziyue reached out and held his hand in hers with a smile and said gently, “You can


    keep believing in me.”


    …


    Gong Shuzhe had already arrived when they reached the reserved room. Nan Chuan was at the door


    waiting for them as he greeted, “Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin.”


    Qin Muchen didn’t say a word while Su Ziyue nodded at him. “We’re going in now.”


    When he saw them entering the room, Gong Shuzhe stood up hurriedly and appeared very awkward.


    Su Ziyue’s face was cold as she stared at this middle-aged man she had known since young.


    Gong Shuzhe’s eyes was on Qin Muchen when he started, “Mu—”


    “Mr. Gong, we’re not that close with each other,” Qin Muchen broke him off and waited for Su Ziyue to


    take a seat before turning to look at him, only to see his face falling slightly at the cold tone in his voice.
