Chapter 674: Damn, How Is This Possible

“You have no other choice.”

“I’ll give you two choices. First, let me have him. I’ll take on this responsibility for you.”

Lin Ya’s voice could be heard clearly.

“Secondly, I’ll send you to die with him. How about that?”

There was only a pitch black surrounding her and her nose was filled with the scent of mud and grass. She could vaguely hear the sound of a pigeon whistle.

All around, it was silent.

Lin Ya’s voice rang clearly in her ears and she immediately felt something cold against her forehead. It gave a gentle push and she heard the echo of Lin Ya’s voice: Boom.

In her dream, she was so frightened that she did not dare to move.

“Hahaha!”

Lin Ya almost sounded deranged.

Li Beinian stiffened and heard herself say, “What exactly do you want!”

“Shh.”

Lin Ya moved the gun away and tilted her head so that her ear was lifted. “Can you hear that? Where are we? Can you tell?”

Far away gunshots were heard and there were faint cries of grief.

However, it was extremely faint and one wouldn’t have noticed unless one listened carefully.

“This is the execution ground, can you hear that?” Lin Ya’s sounded like he was laughing. It was far from his usual calm demeanor. There was a hint of insanity and greed in his voice. “That person died here.”

He pointed his gun at her bulging belly. “For these two little bastards, tsk tsk tsk.”

“Who? Who exactly are you talking about?” Li Beinian’s heart skipped a beat and she felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness and sadness. “Who died here? Who are you?”

“Hahahahaha…”

“Enough,” Mu Donglin said. “Take your stuff and leave.”

“Donglin? Help me, help me!”

However, it fell silent again.

“Help me, Help me and my children, Donglin!”

“Help me, help me…”

Li Beinian shuddered and her eyes snapped open.

It was pitch black all around and it was silent.

Li Beinian moved and could clearly feel the warmth of the man’s body against her arm.

A familiar scent, mixed with the smell of the bed, infiltrated her nose and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She looked up and in the dark and saw a pair of dark eyes staring at her.

Right from the start, Mu Xichen had not made the slightest noise.

Li Beinian hugged him back and snuggled into his embrace, whimpering softly. “Ah Chen…”

“Mm.” Mu Xichen held her and stared blankly into the air behind her. He patted her back gently and said, “Don’t be afraid.”

Li Beinian calmed down and whispered, “Do you have any conflicts with Lin Ya?”

Mu Xichen’s breathing was steady. Upon hearing this, he held her tightly and whispered, “Why do you ask?”

“He’s hostile towards you.”

“In your dream?”

“Yes!” Li Beinian looked up. “He wanted to kill you. He colluded with Mu Donglin to kill you and even tried to kill me. I suspect that Lin Kerou wasn’t the only one who caused my death. Besides her and Mu Donglin, Lin Ya must have been involved as well. There’s also the P.I.T. and others. Yes, there must be some others!”

Li Beinian continued, “I think it has something to do with my father. Ah Chen, can you tell me who my father is?”

Mu Xichen held her in his arms and looked down at her.

In the quiet of the night, Li Beinian’s eyes glistened brightly with tears.

She pleaded with him and gradually tightened her grip around his waist. She seemed a little nervous.

Mu Xichen looked at her for a long time and said unhurriedly, “I’m not sure yet. I’ll tell you when I’m sure.”

“Who do you suspect then?”

Mu Xichen was silent for a moment before replying, “Stop asking.”

“I’m scared, Ah Chen. I dreamed that I was brought to a big house. There was a woman in it who told me to inherit something and it was not for me to reject. However, Lin Ya really wanted that thing. I…”

“In your dream?”

Li Beinian seemed to have suddenly caught onto something. She nodded vigorously and said, “Do you know something? Ah Chen, tell me, what’s the background of the person you’re investigating? What do I need to inherit? What does Lin Ya want?”

Money? Power? Or something else?

Mu Xichen did not speak.

However, his expression darkened.

Li Beinian was now even more certain that there was something fishy going on!

However, she was unable to make him tell her.

Li Beinian couldn’t take it anymore and straddled him. “I can’t sleep if you don’t tell me!”

Mu Xichen grabbed her arm. “Get off.”

“No!” Li Beinian continued, “Tell me and I’ll get off.”

Mu Xichen was furious. He yanked her off himself and said, “Go to sleep now. We have to get up early tomorrow.”

“I can’t sleep…” Li Beinian was a little aggrieved and snuggled into his arms.” Ah Chen…”

With her warm and soft body in his arms and naked after the event, Mu Xichen Jr. was quickly awakened.

Mu Xichen pinned her down against the bed and whispered hoarsely, “Then I’ll help you sleep.”

“No! You…”

Li Beinian moaned and squeezed his shoulder. She wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come.

After it all ended, true enough, she fell asleep from the exhaustion.

However, given that something was on her mind, it wasn’t long before she opened her eyes again.

Mu Xichen was nowhere to be seen. She was slightly taken aback.

She got up and put on a sleeping robe. Then, she put on her slippers and opened the room door.

The moment she stepped out, she felt a chill.

The room was air-conditioned and the temperature was regulated.

However, the temperature outside was much lower. Li Beinian only had a bathrobe and cotton slippers on. She shivered from the cold.

The corridor was dark.

She looked at the sky, it should be in the middle of the night still.

Li Beinian tiptoed towards the study. Sure enough, she could see the light through the gap in the door.

Without knocking, Li Beinian quietly opened the door.

But of course, this was Mu Xichen. He immediately sensed the movement behind him.

He turned around and quickly put away whatever he was holding in his hands. He looked up at her.

Seeing that she was huddled up from the cold, he frowned and asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

As he spoke, he went forward to hug her.

Mu Xichen was in good health. He was only wearing a robe at this point, but he didn’t look the least bit pathetic.

Li Beinian drew herself into his embrace and asked, “What are you doing?”

“Work.”

“Liar,” Li Beinian retorted quietly and looked towards the desk drawer.

Perhaps it was because Mu Xichen had been in a hurry, but Li Beinian could still see the corner of a sheet of white paper through the gap in the drawer.

Just as she was about to step forward, Mu Xichen took her in his arms.

Before she could speak, the man turned her around and said, “Go back and get dressed.”

Li Beinian refused and struggled. “What are you doing, Ah Chen? You’re harming me by doing this, do you know that!”

Mu Xichen paused and looked down at her.

Li Beinian wriggled herself free from his arms and continued, “You’re not telling me anything, I’m the least bit prepared. What if someone confirmed my identity before you did? If they tried to harm me and I have no idea what’s going on, wouldn’t I be like a lamb for the slaughter?”

Mu Xichen frowned and asked, “What do you know?”

True enough!

Li Beinian immediately said, “I know a lot. I also know that if I acknowledge my ancestry, I will be the only successor of that whatever family. At that point, people who covet whatever rubbish will want to do away with me, isn’t that right?”

Li Beinian’s words made Mu Xichen frown even more.

Seeing that this was her chance, she went forward and put her arms around his neck. “Tell me, please?”

Mu Xichen frowned and finally looked like he had decided. He sighed and said quietly, “You.”

Li Beinian was delighted.

That was an agreement!

“Get dressed first.” Mu Xichen wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up.

Li Beinian raised her legs and shouted, “I’m not cold. I want to see what you were looking at just then!”

Mu Xichen smacked her bottom lightly and insisted, “Put on your clothes first. I’ll get it later!”

“No! You’re lying!”

Li Beinian struggled even harder and pushed him away forcefully. “Go get it now. Let’s talk in the room!”

Mu Xichen fell silent.

How difficult!

Then, Mu Xichen resigned himself to fate and turned around with her in his arms.

Li Beinian opened the drawer and took out a stack of documents.

There were more than ten sheets of paper, some of which were even sealed with tape. They were a little messy at the moment, and some of the papers were folded.

Obviously, it was the result of Mu Xichen trying so frantically to put it away.

Li Beinian was being carried and now she bent over to put the sheets in order.

She even reached into the drawer and realized that there were only some seals and stuff. Then she asked, “Are these all?”

Mu Xichen shut his eyes helplessly and sighed. “That’s all.”

“Let’s go.”

Mu Xichen was ordered to return to their room, still carrying the lady boss in his arms.

The temperature in the room was like Springtime compared to the outside!

Li Beinian felt cosy at once. When Mu Xichen placed her on the bed, she immediately crawled under the covers and picked up a sheet of paper to read.

The first sheet carried the words “Northern seas.”

Northern Seas?

Li Beinian looked down and realized that Northern Seas was a company.

Following that, the acronym N.S. was used.

N.S.!

Li Beinian widened her eyes. “What does it mean? N.S.?”

Mu Xichen did not speak but his eyes were fixed on it.

Obviously, he was also looking at it as well.

N.S. was a huge organization known globally, and its founder, Beiyang Rothschild, was even more renowned!

“Damn!” Li Beinian couldn’t believe it and cursed. “How is this freaking possible? Are you kidding me!?”

Mu Xichen was silent. He reached out and drew out the second page.
