Chapter 357 - You Asked for It (1/2)

When her words fell, the entire scene was silent.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Kerou. Mu Donglin’s face remained dark.

However, Li Meng quickly retorted. “In order to cover up your crime, you jumped in so you could shift the blame to her.”

“Why would I be held down by the kelp, then?”

Li Meng reacted very quickly. “You used too much strength and ended up implicating yourself!”

Li Beinian smiled and continued, “The kelp is at the bottom of the sea. If I wanted to kill someone and cover up my crime, why would I swim to the bottom of the sea?”

Li Meng was rendered speechless and she turned to look at Lin Kerou.

“The kelp grows at the bottom of the sea which has a depth of about two to three meters,” Li Beinian said. “Someone that can’t swim would definitely struggle in the water and slowly sink to the bottom. As a result, according to your claim of not being able to swim, you would have lost your consciousness. If I pushed you down, would you be able to scream for help?”

Li Beinian sneered. “Don’t you sense the contradiction?”

Her explanation was logical.

Every detail seemed contrary to what Lin Kerou said.

Unexpectedly, Lin Kerou did not panic. She just stared at Li Beinian with tears in her eyes. “Must you force me, Nian Nian?

“I don’t want to argue with you because you are Brother Donglin’s fiancèe. Besides your title, do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Lin Kerou was acting differently from before as she said to Li Beinian threateningly, “Since things have come to this and you’re forcing me to do this, I won’t show you any more mercy!”
