Chapter 313 I Want to Help You
Lin Zhu glanced at Li Chenxu with some difficulty upon hearing this, but when he met the other's indifferent yet authoritative gaze, he suddenly remembered Mu Xiaoyu's instructions from some time ago, and his courage immediately increased.
"Sir, Madam previously instructed me to keep a close eye on your meals."
This was the first time that Assistant Lin had defied Li Chenxu's wishes. Li Chenxu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Assistant Lin, making Assistant Lin's back break out in a cold sweat, before he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Alright, I'll listen to you this time. Let's just find a restaurant and have dinner. Hurry up, you know we can't afford to delay today."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin breathed a huge sigh of relief, feeling as if he had escaped death. He hurriedly agreed and quickly found a well-reviewed restaurant nearby, where he took Li Chenxu to have dinner.
Because he had already eaten dinner, it was more than half an hour later when Li Chenxu arrived at the police station.
Bai Ye originally planned to wait for Li Chenxu to arrive so that things would be cleared up before leaving, but it seemed that Old Master Bai had some urgent business to attend to and called Bai Ye back temporarily, so there were only a few police officers on duty at the police station.
Fortunately, they were all acquaintances, and because Bai Ye had specifically instructed them, the people at the police station immediately arranged for Li Chenxu to meet with Mu Pengzheng after he arrived.
The last few times I saw Mu Pengzheng, he looked extremely haggard. In less than half a month, he seemed to have aged ten years. But since meeting Mu Xiaoyu's mother, it was obvious that he seemed to be in much better spirits today.
Mu Peng still harbors hatred towards Li Chenxu. In his eyes, his current predicament is entirely due to Li Chenxu.
When he saw Li Chenxu, his eyes still held undisguised hatred.
However, he quickly recalled what he had said to Mu Xiaoyu's mother yesterday, and he forcefully suppressed the hatred in his heart. He stared at Li Chenxu in front of him with a gloomy look and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
"You want to help us, don't you?"
Before arriving, Li Chenxu had already roughly guessed Mu Pengzheng's purpose in summoning them. Either way, Mu Pengzheng was going to die anyway; he had harmed them before entirely because of Mu Xiaoyu's mother, and he was helping them now for the same reason.
Regardless of how Mu Pengzheng treats Mu Xiaoyu, his feelings for Mu Xiaoyu's mother are genuine. Call it obsession or whatever, the feelings are real.
Having reached this point, Mu Pengzheng has very few options. At this time, he should try his best to help Li Chenxu and the others, even if it's just a little bit. Maybe he can salvage his image in Mu Xiaoyu's mother's eyes, and perhaps in the end, Mu Xiaoyu's mother's hatred for him won't be as deep as it is now.
Both being men, Li Chenxu's feelings for Mu Xiaoyu were equally obsessive. Although he wouldn't treat Mu Xiaoyu the way Mu Pengzheng did, he could at least guess a little.
Upon hearing this, Mu Pengzheng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Li Chenxu with a forced smile: "You're quite clever, you've made everyone guess everything. As for Mu Xiaoyu, I don't know if marrying you is her misfortune or her fortune."
"What happens between us has nothing to do with you. The only person who matters right now is your aunt. Time is of the essence. Let's not waste time on other things like maintaining a relationship. Let's get straight to business."
Even now, Li Chenxu still disliked Mu Pengzheng and didn't want to waste any more words on him, so he spoke with some impatience.
Seeing Li Chenxu's attitude, Mu Peng's face darkened with anger. He gritted his teeth and glared at Li Chenxu: "Aren't you afraid that I won't help you anymore?"
"Not going to help? Mu Pengzheng, aren't you overestimating yourself?"
Li Chenxu suddenly stood up and moved closer to Mu Pengzheng through the metal railing, his dark eyes filled with mockery and disdain.
In the eyes of someone like Li Chenxu, he has never taken Mu Pengzheng seriously, whether in the past or now. In his eyes, Mu Pengzheng is as insignificant as an ant.
If it weren't for Mu Pengzheng's mischief that harmed Mu Xiaoyu and the others, Li Chenxu wouldn't have even given Mu Pengzheng a second glance.
Such a person is simply an eyesore to him.
As if reading the emotions in Li Chenxu's eyes, Mu Pengzheng's face suddenly turned pale. In that instant, all the inferiority and fear buried deep in his heart were stirred up by Li Chenxu's disdainful and mocking gaze.
His face was pale, but his eyes were filled with a crazy and obsessive look as he looked at Li Chenxu: "You look down on me? You look down on me? So what if that's the case? You've been played by us time and time again!"
Li Chenxu's patience had run out. Seeing Mu Pengzheng yelling and shouting like a madman, he clicked his tongue impatiently. Looking down at Mu Pengzheng, he said coldly, "I'm not here to argue with you, Mu Pengzheng. You'd better just say what you have to say. I don't have time to waste with you. Don't forget your current situation. If you don't cherish this opportunity, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
Li Chenxu spoke very calmly, but his words carried no less authority, leaving Mu Pengzheng speechless.
Despite his humble origins, Mu Pengzheng is clearly a smart man who has risen to his current position.
He knows his current situation better than anyone else.
Even if he helps Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu now, it's only so that he can have another chance to be with Mu Xiaoyu's mother in the future.
Thinking of this, Mu Peng closed his eyes, concealing all the hatred in them. When he opened his eyes again, the expression in them slowly returned to normal.
"I called you here today because I want to help you..."
When Li Chenxu left the police station, it started snowing heavily outside. He didn't know how long it had been snowing, but the streets were covered with a thin layer of snow. Judging by the sky, the heavy snow wasn't going to stop anytime soon.
Li Chenxu took a deep breath, put his hands in his coat pockets, and then got into the car.
What Mu Pengzheng told him today was far beyond his expectations, and he was wondering whether he should tell Mu Xiaoyu about it.
Although it's a good thing, Mu Xiaoyu's hatred for Mu Pengzheng is real, and if this matter were told to her, Mu Xiaoyu's emotions would definitely be affected.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu couldn't help but sigh deeply, his voice tinged with hesitation.
