Chapter 673: Chapter 443: Next Time, He Will Not Be Absent Again (3) _1

Otherwise, she wouldn’t mind taking his life right now; she had already seen plenty of blood today, she wouldn’t mind seeing a bit more.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Mi Zheng chuckled softly without saying anything, as if on purpose, "Tomorrow, I’ll come find you." His gaze lightly swept over Jing Chen’s face, "However, I hope that tomorrow the only person I see is you." Even if he lost, this chance to have a meal alone with her couldn’t be missed.

He defiantly glanced at Jing Chen, his icy gaze lightly resting on him. Jing Chen remained silent.

Some things weren’t meant to be right now.

In the end, after another glance at Mu Lin, Mi Zheng walked straight past the three of them towards the Main Gate, followed closely by You.

He never expected today’s events would spiral into this mess, and couldn’t help but want to sigh.

What a pity.

But what did Mu Lin mean by "I won"? He had a feeling he was missing something, but he didn’t know what.

Jing Chen smirked, watching the other man walk away. He gestured to Jing Youlan and his group standing by the gate. They quickly blocked the entrance.

If he wanted to leave, he would have to get his approval.

Coveting his woman, if it weren’t for the fact that his wife still needed him, he wouldn’t have let him off.

Jing Chen indicated that leaving was possible, but it wouldn’t be easy. At the very least, they would have to go to the police station for a cup of tea. Even though he temporarily couldn’t do anything to him, he was willing to try.

With his arm around Mu Lin’s waist, he slowly walked towards him, pausing as he passed by Mi Zheng, "I’ll leave first; I hope you won’t be late tomorrow." It was just a pity that he couldn’t keep him for a bit longer.

"Keep an eye on him until the police arrive, assist them in taking him away," Jing Chen ordered flatly.

"Yes!" everyone responded, leaving the matter in their hands.

Jing Youlan and his group watched Mi Zheng, his face cold. Their Mu Lin wasn’t just anyone’s for the taking.

Teaching him a lesson seemed to be a good idea.

"The rest is up to you."

Watching Jing Chen brazenly take Mu Lin away, Jing Tian could only smile helplessly.

If his prediction wasn’t wrong, his sister-in-law was the main player in today’s events, with so many eyes on her, she should at least maintain appearances.

As expected, Mu Lin could leave, but the rest couldn’t. Many started to protest; but alas, they were nothing compared to Jing Chen and Jing Tian.

What if they were second-generation rich kids? Even if their fathers stood before him, he would still dare to point a gun at them.

Fortunately, although it was late, the police arrived quickly, led by Xiu Weiqi personally. When he saw the rich second and third generations in front of him, he was stunned; he couldn’t help but break out in a sweat.

What on earth happened here? He was shocked when he understood the general truth.

This incident was serious and was done so openly, it was as if they didn’t take the police seriously at all.

With a storm brewing in his eyes, Xiu Weiqi didn’t hesitate to have all these people taken away, including Mi Zheng.

It seemed, they would be working late tonight.

"Young Master?" You felt a chill as he saw the smile on Mi Zheng’s lips.

The young master was angry.

Why?

He wasn’t sure if Mi Zheng was angry about Mu Lin, or because he was suddenly stopped.

Having been by Mi Zheng’s side for over twenty years, he knew exactly what the changes on his face meant. His master was definitely angry.

Everyone was taken to the police station for assistance in the investigation, and the bodies were removed.

Within half a month, two major incidents had occurred at the Hongda Hotel. When the news reached Hong Mingsheng, he didn’t say much but expressed concern about Mu Lin being involved in these events. He even had Hong Boyuan call Mu Lin on his behalf to express his concern.

Mu Lin simply smiled when she received the call; she did acknowledge that both incidents actually were caused by her and that Hong Mingsheng should not apologize.

But that’s another story.

...

"Mu Lin, how are you?" After handling most of the matter, Xiu Weiqi turned towards Jing Tian and asked.

Actually, he knew very well that interrogating everyone who was brought back wouldn’t be as beneficial as questioning Mu Lin directly, but the steps couldn’t be skipped.

Xiu Weiqi never expected the incidents this time would involve all the young masters of the Jing family in B City; if they weren’t there, the situation could have been much worse.

Xiu Weiqi suspects; and this time, there really are quite a few deaths.

From the moment he took office, there have been quite a few incidents in their C Province, and almost all of them are of great significance.

This is his first time meeting the second master of the Jing family, who really is as handsome as rumors say.

This is one of the rumors about Jing Tian in high society.

Handsome like Pan An, sly like a fox; that’s him; although Jing Tian never admits it.

Upon hearing Xiu Weiqi’s words, Jing Tian looks at him, observing the expression on his face, and considering that he seems genuinely concerned about Mu Lin.

"You mentioned my sister-in-law, she’s fine, just taken away by my older brother." Jing Tian said indifferently.

Yet, this simple statement scared Xiu Weiqi a great deal, "Sister-in-law?" Mu Lin, isn’t she just the military doctor for Ying Sun? How did she suddenly become the second master Jing’s sister-in-law?

Xiu Weiqi never considered that if it were just an ordinary military doctor, what qualifications would she have to make the high-ranking people of the Jing family personally take action?

Jing Tian looks at him, "Yes, sister-in-law; she is the granddaughter-in-law acknowledged by our family patriarch, in the patriarch’s heart, we, his flesh-and-blood grandsons, are not as important as her." This is their sorrow; just like how his status in his aunt’s heart plummeted after Mu Lin showed up in her life.

Sorrow, lament!

Whether it’s intentional or not, that sentence is even more terrifying than him previously calling her ’sister-in-law’.

Recognized by the old Master Jing, the weight of this phrase is known only to those who hear it.

This nonchalant statement conveys Mu Lin’s future status in the Jing’s family; anyone’s recognition of you cannot outweigh a simple word from the Jing family patriarch, not even a nod of his head.

What it means to be a part of the Jing family, he believes, is something known to almost everyone.

Xiu Weiqi doesn’t know what to say, he just listens as Jing Tian continues: "I know you’re worried about my sister-in-law, perhaps you have a lot of things you want to ask her, but she’s currently with my brother, and probably won’t have the time for a while."

"Here’s a small suggestion, you can ask my sister-in-law... tomorrow." She should have the time then, and moreover, they still have to interrogate all these people tonight, they’ve got their work cut out for them.

As for him, "Retreat." Having said that, Jing Tian leaves with his team; he should go and report to his uncle first, waiting for his brother just won’t happen.

The room at Hongda Hotel where Mu Lin stayed earlier.

Did she scare him? She seems to really have scared him.

Finally, after a long while, when both of them were running out of breath, Jing Chen finally let her go.

"Next time, I absolutely won’t let you face everything alone." His deep voice raspy, he pulls Mu Lin tightly into his arms.

"That isn’t your fault." Mu Lin looks up at Jing Chen, "You have your own mission." Besides, "Such a small matter, I can handle it myself." She doesn’t want him to blame himself, especially when he didn’t want to leave her.

Jing Chen doesn’t speak, just holds her tightly.

For people like them, sometimes responsibility forces you to make choices; and some choices, you can only accept helplessly.

On the sofa, Jing Chen sprawls out, with Mu Lin nestled against his chest, "So, everything that happened there tonight, it was a bet between you and him."

Something that Jing Chen didn’t expect was that he didn’t ask what the stake was; he couldn’t guess that what the man first saw was his and Mu Lin’s engagement ring. If he knew, would he have let go of that man so easily tonight?

"Mm." Mu Lin nods, playing with the large hand around her waist, "So, you don’t need to think too much about it. Even though I also don’t quite understand it at the moment, I have a feeling that the man doesn’t want to kill me at the moment."

Jing Chen conveys that this makes him even more worried.

A man’s intuition tells him that the man has bad intentions for his woman.

"I have to continue playing this game today with him." Mu Lin continues: "Only if I keep on playing will I be able to find the answer I want." Regarding everything that has happened to her master, Mu Lin believes that he must know all.

"But he might not necessarily tell you the truth." The man he just saw doesn’t seem simple at all.

But what Jing Chen didn’t expect was that the leader of the Net organization would be such a person.

The depth of his concealment has only allowed them to discover him after so long.

What Jing Chen can even confirm is that if he didn’t want to come out, it would take even longer for them to find out his identity.

What kind of secrets does he have?

Hearing Jing Chen’s words, Mu Lin smirks, a cold glint in her detached eyes, "Now we just have to see how it plays out."

Some things can’t be rushed.

Jing Chen chuckles after hearing this, "Next time, remember to take me with you."

The next time, he won’t be absent.
