Chapter 1078: Chapter 726: Don’t Forget to Read the Author’s Note (Part One)

What is that?

"Looks like an envelope." Walking to the desk, Mu Lin casually picked up the white envelope and then glanced at Jing Chen.

Mu Lin personally opened it.

It seemed that Mi Zheng had left it specially for her; no wonder someone had just delivered the key to her at the door.

However, the next moment, before Mu Lin had a chance to open it, Jing Chen took it from her hands, opened the envelope, narrowed his deep-set eyes as he read the contents; his expression darkened even further—Mu Lin didn’t even have the chance to stop him.

After coming back to her senses, Mu Lin let out a small sigh and nonchalantly took a pill from her bag and popped it into Jing Chen’s mouth, "Why the rush?" This letter isn’t going anywhere. Has he forgotten how cunning some people can be?

When it came to Mi Zheng, one must never let down their guard; his thoughts were unfathomable to anyone.

As for Jing Chen, sometimes he was too clever for his own good, and other times, he was like a child, especially when it came to matters concerning her... How adorable, right?

Mu Lin truly felt that since being with Jing Chen, his aloof nature had all but vanished. Now, she couldn’t find a trace of it anymore.

Taking the letter from Jing Chen’s hands, Mu Lin warned, "There’s something nasty on here." She had smelled it as soon as Jing Chen opened the envelope—not a deadly poison, but something akin to Itching Powder, used for playing pranks.

Jing Chen snorted coldly, not uttering a word.

Mu Lin looked at the letter in her hands; its contents read as follows.

"If I am not mistaken, the person opening this envelope is certainly not Linlin." He really had a deep understanding of Jing Chen—Mu Lin could almost sense his smugness as he wrote this letter. Without saying a word, Mu Lin continued to read on.

"It seems I’ve lost again. I actually forgot about Linlin’s near-perfect Disguise Technique; that’s my mistake! It’s a pity that you still haven’t won; although you caught the Jian Family elder, the game isn’t over until you catch me! But Linlin, I truly wish the person always by your side was me. Even now, I believe that the man deserving to stand by your side is none but me! It’s just a shame I also know that between us lies a chasm too vast to cross, unless... your father can come back to life."

Upon reading this, Mu Lin smiled lightly, "No, even if my father was alive, we would still be destined to be enemies." Because she had Jing Chen by her side; most importantly, they had different beliefs.

Some things have no what-ifs, only... fate!

With a cold smile, Mu Lin continued to read. "But I feel you won’t agree with my words, so I’ll spare the rest. Until we definitively settle this, I’ll be waiting for you!" This letter really was quite short.

But Mu Lin found it surprising that Mi Zheng had bothered to leave her a letter in such an old-fashioned way before fleeing; perhaps it was intended to prank someone.

Mu Lin’s gaze rested on Jing Chen.

It was uncertain whether Mu Lin learned the truth or not.

Casually picking up a lighter from the desk, they burned the letter and then turned to leave, leaving only the key lying silently on the desk.

It was unknown if it would ever meet its owner again.

With that, the incident in B City had come to a close; and on the day the elder returned to his territory, a swift and fierce reform from him began. Every family with ties to the Jian Family and all individuals, especially close relatives, faced a series of actions, causing a period of unease in China, with everyone on tenterhooks, mindful of their own heads as they went about their business.

In day-to-day life, the elder seemed somewhat gentle, particularly in front of Mu Lin, where he was almost devoid of temper; or at least he rarely took action, but when he did, it was too much for most people to handle.

That was the key reason the elder had held his position for twenty years.

However, none of this seemed to affect Mu Lin and Jing Chen.

Although the elder had always been good to Mu Lin, she could see that he was a formidable... elder.

Perhaps even without her and Jing Chen, the elder would have been able to handle the situation without any signs of conflict.

After everything, the only ones who remained undisturbed and calm as if nothing had happened were likely only the lords of the Jing and Xue families. After all, they had known the truth behind the scenes all along, but the other lords could hardly believe it when they found out.
