Chapter 311 You think it's for your sake?
When Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu left the sanatorium, it was already completely dark outside.
The sanatorium is located in the city center. Once you step outside the sanatorium gate, you can only see a few scattered lights; the rest of the area is completely dark.
From the moment Mu Xiaoyu heard her mother's words, she was in a daze. Standing on the winding path, her eyes, slightly tilted back, gazing at the scattered stars in the sky, were filled with sorrow.
“She knew she didn’t have much time left. Mu Peng had committed such a serious crime that even if she cooperated with the police investigation, she would still face the death penalty. In fact, she had already made up her mind.”
Li Chenxu stood behind Mu Xiaoyu, and it took him a long time to hear Mu Xiaoyu's bitter words. Each word fell heavily on his heart, making him feel depressed as well.
Li Chenxu took care of Mu Xiaoyu's mother for several years. If initially he only cared for Mu Xiaoyu's mother because of Mu Xiaoyu, after spending so much time together, anyone would develop feelings for her.
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu say this now, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He remained silent for a moment, then stepped forward and took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, completely enveloping her small hand in his own.
"Xiaoyu, if you feel sad and want to cry, then cry."
Faced with the truth about their loved ones' origins, no one can remain indifferent. Telling Mu Xiaoyu not to be sad at this moment is utterly meaningless. Even if Li Chenxu is incredibly powerful, in the face of life and death, he's just an ordinary person.
All he could do was stay by Mu Xiaoyu's side when she was sad.
Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but turned her head to look at Li Chenxu. Her eyes, which were filled with sadness, softened instantly when she looked at Li Chenxu.
She rested her head on Li Chenxu's shoulder, sniffed her slightly sore nose, and choked up, saying, "Actually, this is for the best. You can see that she spends all day in the sanatorium and can hardly even leave the house. Living like this is no different from being dead. I can tell that she doesn't like this kind of life at all."
Mu Xiaoyu chattered on and on with Li Chenxu, occasionally mentioning the days when their family was still together. Li Chenxu listened attentively, occasionally giving a soft "hmm."
And so, no one knows how long Mu Xiaoyu talked, when suddenly she stopped. The next second, she directly grasped Li Chenxu's hand, and with her tear-filled eyes looking at Li Chenxu with utmost seriousness, she said, "Brother Chenxu, from now on, I really will only have you."
No words have ever shocked Li Chenxu so much as they have now, stirring up a tidal wave in his heart.
He couldn't help but hug Mu Xiaoyu tightly, burying his head in the side of her neck, and said in a low but firm voice, "Xiaoyu, for the rest of my life, I will be good to you, I will always love you and cherish you, I will never abandon you, and even if I die, I will die after you."
Mu Xiaoyu suddenly burst out laughing at Li Chenxu's words. She looked at Li Chenxu with a mixture of gratitude and helplessness: "Everyone else says they'll die first, why are you the one who says they'll die later?"
"That way, you won't be sad."
Mu Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard this. She stared at Li Chenxu with wide eyes, never expecting that the reason for Li Chenxu's words was like this.
In that instant, her heart felt completely filled with something warm and comforting. She didn't know what it was, but she knew that only Li Chenxu could give her this.
Her Mr. Li was the person who loved her most in the world. What good fortune she must have accumulated over countless lifetimes to find such a person?
She could never repay Mr. Li's love in this lifetime; all she could do was love him with all her heart.
Mu Xiaoyu's mother's words did indeed have an effect; immediately after they left that day, Mu Pengzheng confessed everything he knew.
It's true that someone was behind Mu Pengzheng's departure from prison, but the person who had contact with Mu Pengzheng died in a car accident not long after Mu Pengzheng left prison.
As for Mu Pengzheng's later contact with Ge Yun, it was only because Ge Yun said that he had a grudge against the Li family and that they would join forces to take revenge on the Li family and Mu Xiaoyu. As for whether Ge Yun was related to the person who saved Mu Pengzheng back then, Mu Pengzheng did not know.
They had expended so much effort, yet all they got in the end was this little bit of information. Even Li Chenxu couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Bai Ye was sitting right across from Li Chenxu. To maintain secrecy and to avoid having an informant in the police station, they had been investigating Mu Pengzheng's case very discreetly. Whenever they needed to give Li Chenxu a message, Bai Ye would come over in person.
"So, we're stuck in a dead end again?"
After listening to Bai Ye's words, Li Chenxu didn't speak for a long time. His expression was already quite unpleasant.
"Not exactly. Mu Pengzheng explained the identity of the person who was in the car accident very clearly. We can start with this person now."
As Bai Ye spoke, he placed the prepared documents in front of Li Chenxu and said, "This contains that person's information. I dare not openly investigate it for fear of arousing suspicion. Only you can investigate this."
Li Chenxu nodded, his expression softening slightly. He took the documents, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, his gaze towards Bai Ye turned serious.
"You'd better not take on Mu Pengzheng's case."
"You're not doing it anymore? Why are you suddenly saying that?"
Bai Ye was not an impulsive person. When he suddenly heard Li Chenxu say this, he was not angry. He just frowned and looked at Li Chenxu, wanting to find out the reason.
"Now that things have progressed this far, I think you should be very clear that the person behind this is targeting the Li family. And it's obvious that person's status and position are definitely not low. You know your family's situation better than anyone else. If you are implicated in this matter, Xiaoyu will feel guilty."
Li Chenxu had no intention of hiding anything from Bai Ye. Now that he was asking, he would tell him.
However, Bai Ye laughed disdainfully when he heard Li Chenxu's words.
In fact, Li Chenxu and Bai Ye have very similar personalities; both are reserved and composed, rarely showing their emotions in public. Even Li Chenxu was momentarily taken aback by their direct expression of emotion.
"Li Chenxu, do you think that I'm still involved in this at this time just for your sake?"
