Chapter 293: If You Get Caught, You Will Get a Death Sentence
Mu Xichen drove steadily but quickly.
He only took over half an hour to reach Qing Shui Fu.
Li Beinian’s face was red and swollen.
She watched as Mu Xichen led her to the high-end community she had just visited today and was about to move into. When they reached the 20th floor, Li Beinian couldn’t hold it in anymore. “You live here?”
Mu Xichen glanced at her lightly. “Why?”
Li Beinian coughed and looked away. “It’s nothing.”
Today, the company just arranged for her to stay on the 19th floor and it turned out that Mu Xichen lived on the 20th floor?
Was… this just a coincidence?
Moreover, the property prices in Qing Shui Fu were extremely high!
Li Beinian was flustered and asked, “Mu Xichen, can I ask you a question?”
“Ok.”
“It’s…” Li Beinian dragged the word for a moment. “The housing prices in Qing Shui Fu are extremely high. I think it’s almost as expensive as your car…”
In fact, it was much higher!
“You were in the military, so how did you get so much money…”
She did not speak loudly, but it was clearly heard in the elevator.
Hearing this, Mu Xichen turned to look at her.
Li Beinian noticed his gaze, felt a little self-conscious, and quickly rephrased. “I’m not saying that I look down on you. I’m just really curious. After all, this isn’t a small sum…”
In fact, it was an astronomical amount!
The Mu Family had this ability, but the Mo family did not.
Besides, the Mu Family barely had any relations with him as they did not get along, and it was impossible for him to get his hands on part of their fortune.
As for the Mo family…
They were related by marriage, so how could they have any hidden wealth?
Furthermore, Mu Xichen was squandering money without blinking… It was too suspicious!
She had not forgotten how he died in her previous life.
After some thought, she said again, “I think it’s better for people to do things the right way…”
Ding.
The elevator stopped.
The elevator doors opened slowly and only the two of them were on the 20th floor.
Mu Xichen looked at her deeply and smiled. Slowly, he said, “What are you worried about?”
Li Beinian’s heart jumped. Looking up, she met his glorious gaze and sparkling smile. It was as if he was staring into her soul.
“I…”
“I don’t steal.” He laughed casually. “What do you mean I’m not doing things the right way?”
His voice was faint and he seemed to be speaking from his heart.
Li Beinian’s heartbeat raced and she looked a little nervous.
As Mu Xichen spoke, he gently held her hand and walked out.
Looking at his back view, Li Beinian couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t smuggling the same as stealing?”
Mu Xichen paused in his footsteps and looked back at her.
His black eyes seemed to be a little surprised and he did not know how to respond.
Li Beinian’s heart sank. Suddenly, she felt a little sad. “Well, isn’t drug trafficking a dishonest practice?”
Mu Xichen raised his brow slightly as he stared at her.
Li Beinian thought about his death in her past life. Suddenly, she felt emotional. She looked at the hand he was holding and thought about it again before saying, “Smuggling and drug trafficking are not the right paths. Even if they are profitable, they aren’t sustainable. If you get caught, you will get a death sentence…”
After more than ten years of being a loyal citizen, he was finally killed by a gunshot by the country that he used to guard because he went astray.
This sort of ending was too devastating.
