Go To Your Death Chapter 39
byFalse
On Xiling Island, the sea breeze gently blew through the curtains, blowing a corner.
Mu Huacheng sat alone on the rocking chair where Lin Jinyao once lay, and sat there for most of the day.
He held a photo in his hand. In the photo, Lin Jinyao had a calm expression, as if he could not withstand anything.
Mu Huacheng’s fingertips gently touched the photo, his eyes light and cold.
Chen Jin stood outside the door, pacing back and forth uneasily, and every once in a while, he would peek in through the crack in the door.
At this time, Seven came over with a pot of hot tea.Chen Jin looked back at him and sighed softly.
“This tea can soothe the mind.” Seven said softly, handing the tea cup to Chen Jin, intending for him to pass it in.
Chen Jin took the tea cup and did not put it in immediately. He just asked in a low voice, “Xiao Qi, do you think Master Lin… is really still alive?”
Mu Huacheng told him that Lin Jin was alive, but he didn’t believe it.
After all, people stopped breathing in front of them and their bodies grew cold.
Seven looked at Mu Huacheng’s indifferent back in the room and pondered for a moment, “I was not there at the time, so I don’t know the specific situation. But Mr. Mu has a deep affection for Young Master Lin, and it is human nature to have some obsessions after thinking about it day and night. It’s just…”
“Just what?” Chen Jin asked.
“It’s just this obsession, I’m afraid it’s more illusion than reality.” Seven said with an unbearable tone in his voice, “Medically, this is called avoidant personality disorder.”
Chen Jin looked heavy, “Mr. Mu’s symptoms have risen to the level of a personality disorder?”
Seven shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
After all, Mu Huacheng just stayed silent and quiet during this period. He didn’t go out or take a step outside the door every day, and just stayed in Lin Jin’s room.
In fact, Mu Huacheng had always had deep doubts about Lin Jinyao’s death because he died too suddenly after being rescued.
It was just that he was overwhelmed with grief at the time and ignored many details.
For example, he forgot that Zhou Xu’an was always by Lin Jinyao’s side.
For example, Zhou Xu’an secretly took away Lin Jinyao’s body.
For example, J suddenly resigned and left!
Therefore, the day after Lin Jin was to be “buried” by Zhou Xu’an, Mu Huacheng contacted the armed forces of the National Defense Border and asked them to investigate secretly.
As the investigation deepened, Mu Huacheng became more and more certain that this matter was not that simple!
Sure enough, in the past three months, Flo Holdings, which was originally low-key, has become extremely active.
What makes people even more suspicious is that whenever Mu Huacheng takes action to suppress the financial trade of country M, Flo always follows closely behind him, and his actions are surprisingly consistent with him.
Chen Jin looked at the tea cup in his hand, and the heat gradually dissipated.
He took a deep breath and finally pushed the door open.
“Mr. Mu, have some tea.” He gently placed the teapot on the table in front of Mu Huacheng.
Mu Huacheng made no sound or any movement.
Chen Jin stood in the study room, breathing lightly.
The afternoon sun shines into the room through the gaps in the curtains. It looks warm, but the temperature inside the room is strangely cold.
He just looked at Mu Huacheng sitting in the rocking chair quietly, waiting until the other party spoke.
Mu Huacheng slowly raised his head, and his originally red and desperate eyes now shone with a complex light.
“Chen Jin,” his voice was still hoarse, but a little more angry than three months ago, “Tell me, do I miss him too much to have such an illusion?”
Although Mu Huacheng still looked lackluster, his whole figure seemed to have been drained of energy.
But when Mu Huacheng looked up at him, Chen Jin’s heart skipped a beat.
Because although there were no tears or obvious sadness in those eyes, there was always a light of hope shining in the depths of the empty eyes, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Jin looked at the light, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
The words of comfort he had originally prepared seemed light and useless at the moment.
Silence spread silently in the room, making people a little breathless.
Chen Jin finally spoke cautiously and in a soft voice, “Mr. Mu… you haven’t had a good rest for several days. Master Lin… If Master Lin has a spirit in heaven, seeing you tormenting yourself like this, he must… feel uncomfortable.”
Chen Jin clearly felt Mu Huacheng’s body tense up.
“You are wrong.” Mu Huacheng’s voice was calm, with no expression on his face.
His eyes fell on Chen Jin, and he just shook his head slowly, as if he could see a distant place through Chen Jin, “A Yao, that little brat, he is simply heartless. If he cares about me even a little bit, he won’t…”
He paused, and there was no wave in his tone, but his words were as cold as ice picks, “Otherwise, how dare he…how dare he dig out my heart in this way.”
Chen Jin had been with Mu Huacheng for so many years and could hear the pain and despair almost overflowing from those words.
It was not anger, but helpless pain.
Chen Jin felt sour in his heart and could no longer say any words of persuasion.
He lowered his head silently and chose silence.
At this time, any language is pale.
The study became quiet again, with only the ticking sound of the second hand of the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall, which was so regular that it made people nervous.
After a while, Mu Huacheng spoke again, his voice still calm, as if he suddenly remembered something, “Where is Zhou Xu’an? What has he been doing recently?”
Chen Jin immediately cheered up. He had been ordered to watch Zhou Xu’an secretly, “Our people have been following him. Mr. Zhou’s life has been very regular during this period. Basically, he runs back and forth between home, the hospital and the cemetery he often goes to. He has not been seen coming into contact with anyone in particular, nor has he behaved unusually.”
“Yes.” Mu Huacheng responded in a low voice and closed his eyes. He seemed a little tired. “Take the people back. There is no need to follow them anymore.”
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.After all, Mu Huacheng paid close attention to Zhou Xu’an, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood.
“Yes.” Chen Jin responded respectfully, “I’ll make arrangements right away.”
Mu Huacheng didn’t speak anymore, but leaned back in the chair again and closed his eyes.
It was as if the brief conversation just now had exhausted all his energy.
Chen Jin looked at the thick shadows under his eyes and his obviously thinner cheeks, and sighed secretly in his heart.
He didn’t dare to disturb anymore, so he stepped back a few steps quietly, and then slowly and quietly closed the door.
Compared with Mu Huacheng’s silence and indifference, as if time had stopped, Samuel’s past few months had been like suffering in a frying pan, and his days had been like years.
The atmosphere in the office is always as depressing as before the storm.
Almost every high-level meeting is like a public trial.
Either the stock price of this core holding company plummeted like a roller coaster, or the value of the important futures contract there shrank crazily.
The constantly beating red numbers on the huge electronic screen made people’s eyes hurt.
The subordinates sitting around the long table were all silent, not even daring to breathe.
New York financial news reporters were like sharks smelling blood. Daily newspaper headlines repeatedly reported on the sweeping financial crisis.
The financial godfather of Country M, who was once said to be the unparalleled financial godfather, accused Samuel face to face of his misjudgment and ineffective response, and was primarily responsible for this huge financial market turmoil.
“Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!” Samuel’s chest heaved violently and his face was ashen.Once again, I got angry in the office and slammed a stack of reports that had just arrived on my desk.
“Mu Huacheng!” He almost said the name through gritted teeth, “Is he crazy? Is he really going to risk everything for a dead person?!”
Several subordinates standing in the office buried their heads lower, wishing they could shrink themselves into the cracks in the ground.
Samuel panted heavily and paced back and forth in the office.
He suddenly stopped and looked out the window at the bustling city scene, trying to regain some confidence for himself, “So what?! The Lin family has collapsed a long time ago! The only seedling of the Lin family is dead now. Even if Mu Huacheng is angry, what tricks can he still play! He has almost used up all the means he can use!”
He seemed to be asking his subordinates, but more like he was convincing himself.
Samuel actually did not regret ordering the killing of Lin Jinyao.
He just underestimated Lin Jin’s importance in Mu Huacheng’s heart.
