Chapter 358 - No Matter What, I Will Protect You (1/2)
After being called out, Mu Donglin looked at Li Beinian in disappointment. He closed his eyes and said, “Forget it. Let’s stop pursuing the matter.”
Stop pursuing the matter.
If they continued to investigate, both of them would be hurt regardless of who was right.
Mu Donglin felt unexpectedly tired. One was his childhood friend whom he treated like his sister and the other was his fiancèe. He couldn’t afford to lose either of them.
Choosing to stop pursuing the matter was the best choice.
“Young Master Mu.” Li Meng was indignant. “I’m sure you know what sort of person Kerou is from a young age. I understand who she is and I’m sure you do too. Li Beinian has been trying to frame her with a few sentences and almost killed her. Even if she’s your fiancèe, she attempted murder! According to Article 232 of the Criminal Law of Guo Nation, if someone commits attempted murder, he or she will receive the death penalty, sentenced to life imprisonment or more than ten years’ imprisonment. In less severe cases, imprisonment can last up to three years! Someone like her deserves more than ten years of imprisonment!”
Mo Shengyun was upset and anxiously said, “Stop trying to bring others down! You’re not convincing at all. Where’s your evidence?”
“Hmph.” Li Meng refused to give up. “Look at the state she’s in. She’s so afraid that she can’t bear to say anything!”
Lin Kerou also looked at Li Beinian. She seemed to calm down as she pulled on Li Meng’s sleeve. “Meng Meng, forget it.” Her voice was nasal and full of grievance. “See, I’m fine…”
“She almost killed you!” Li Meng screamed. “How could you be so compassionate and stupidly let others take advantage of you?”
“That’s enough!” Mu Donglin said forcefully. “I said, let’s stop pursuing this matter.”
“You’re right.” Li Beinian sneered. “How can a person let someone take advantage of him or her?”
Mu Donglin’s face darkened and he seemed furious. “Do you really want to go to jail?” He growled.
“Why is it me who should go to jail?” Li Beinian stared at him coldly. “Do you believe whatever she just said?”
