Marry Me Quick

Chapter 357

Qin Muchen opened his mouth and replied in a rather croaky voice, "No."

Initially, he was worried that Su Yizi might really be the one who killed Qin Li, and because of many concerns, he

stopped the investigations after that. Back then, he wasn't suspicious of Gong Shuzhe, since he had no motive. And

another reason was, he still had an inexplicable longing for this biological father of his, who was never involved in

his own life or upbringing. Even when he was the influential and prominent President of LK as everybody knew him

as, it didn't mean that Qin Muchen didn't have any expectations of his father.

Qin Li had a free and easy-going personality. When he was really young, she told him that she broke up with Gong

Shuzhe peacefully, and had no regrets nor hatred for him. If he wished to see him, she would also approve of it.

This added on to the reasons why he had some expectations of Gong Shuzhe. Since a woman like his mother

wouldn’t have fallen in love with a terrible man, his father must be an upright and special person. But at this point

now, it seemed that they were not far from the truth. In fact, after questioning Su Yuanming the last time, he

already had his doubts on Gong Shuzhe.

He spent some time accepting the possibility of such an outcome, but everything after that was already beyond his

control. Before he could properly resolve this matter, someone already exposed it.

Startled, Su Ziyue wiped away her tears in anguish and spoke through her blocked nose, "I'm sorry, but I'm a little

confused right now. Let's sleep in separate rooms tonight. I need to calm down a little." With that, she opened the

door, got out of the car and headed straight for the villa, while he stared at her back with a sullen face.

In the afternoon, he found out that the dozens of mainstream media who made the report had received an

anonymous package with the DNA report attached. It was the DNA report of both his and Gong Shuzhe’s.

Even the media was unaware of the person who sent them the package and dared not report on it in the beginning.

After all, it involved Qin Muchen, and it wouldn't have been a smart move to offend him. Despite that, more and

more news from the media started to report on it, and the others followed suit one after another. There was no

way to find out who was behind this. Did that person find out about this on purpose or it was an accidental

discovery? The anonymous person didn't ask for a reward either, so he or she was obviously not after monetary

gains. Just who was the one behind this and what was his aim?

…

In the guest room, Su Ziyue stayed up all night without catching any sleep. And for the first time in history, Qin

Muchen didn't go and look for her. The next morning, just as she was about to go downstairs, she saw Qin Muchen

coming from the opposite direction at the stairway. Although he looked good, he seemed a little pale, which was

proof that he didn't sleep well last night too.

Su Ziyue asked, "Did you sleep late again last night? What time did you go to bed?" He is finally feeling better from

his gastric problems recently, but is he now sleeping late again? Does he not care about his health at all?

His dark eyes glimmered at her words as he looked at her with bright eyes. "I went to bed early, but I just couldn't

sleep that well." He couldn't fall asleep by himself, but he dared not go and look for her for fear that things might

backfire on him for being too clingy.

His stare made her feel inexplicably uneasy. Besides thinking too much last night, she couldn’t fall asleep either

because she was not used to sleeping alone. And so, both of them stood at the top of the staircase for a few

minutes before they finally went down.

“Come with me to meet someone,” Qin Muchen said out of the blue while they were having breakfast silently.

It was a Saturday and they didn’t have to work. Su Ziyue asked, “Who are you going to meet?”

He replied with one word, “Him.”

Immediately, she understood who he meant—Gong Shuzhe. No matter what, she had to meet him once again, and

so she nodded her head in silence. Even when things were starting to become clearer now, she was still unable to

connect the dots. So how did Qin Li die? Who was the real killer? What exactly did Gong Shuzhe do in between?

In fact, after calming herself down overnight, she could already guess some of the points. Liu Zipei mentioned Qin

Li when she was speaking with Gong Shuzhe. According to the pattern in many murder cases, the culprits were

usually acquaintances of the victim.

If that was really the case, then there could only be one possibility—Gong Shuzhe was the one who murdered Qin

Li, because he was once her lover and they knew each other well before. Astonished by her own deduction, she

turned her head suddenly to stare at him.

By now, Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue were already seated in the car, and were ready to set off to meet Gong Shuzhe.

While he was driving, besides looking a little pale, Qin Muchen appeared composed as usual, as if he was not

affected at all by this matter. This was how this man had always been; regardless of the situation, he would hide his

emotions so meticulously that she could only pry it out, not even when she was observant.

“You…” she began to speak with him, but had no idea where to start.

Instead, he suddenly spoke, “I’m sorry for hiding so many things from you from the beginning. At first, I didn’t think

that there was a need to tell you. Later on, I didn’t know how to open up about it, and ended up recoiling like a

coward.”

A look of surprise flashed across her face at his words, but he was looking straight ahead instead of at her. With his

gaze fixed ahead, he continued, “In the beginning, I didn’t suspect him at all. That was because just like how you

firmly believe that your father wouldn’t do such a thing, I believed in him as well, even though I never lived together

with him before.” He paused and his voice was unusually low. “I would like to keep on believing, just like you.”

But it was not possible now when the truth was almost in front of their eyes. He had poured out his heart to her,

and he believed that she would be able to accept it after calming down for a night. Indeed, she was able to accept

it. Qin Muchen. He was actually very innocent as well.

By now, they had already reached the entrance of Lumiere Jade House, but they didn’t get out of the car

immediately. Su Ziyue reached out and held his hand in hers with a smile and said gently, “You can keep believing in

me.”

…

Gong Shuzhe had already arrived when they reached the reserved room. Nan Chuan was at the door waiting for

them as he greeted, “Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin.”

Qin Muchen didn’t say a word while Su Ziyue nodded at him. “We’re going in now.”

When he saw them entering the room, Gong Shuzhe stood up hurriedly and appeared very awkward. Su Ziyue’s

face was cold as she stared at this middle-aged man she had known since young.

Gong Shuzhe’s eyes was on Qin Muchen when he started, “Mu—”

“Mr. Gong, we’re not that close with each other,” Qin Muchen broke him off and waited for Su Ziyue to take a seat

before turning to look at him, only to see his face falling slightly at the cold tone in his voice.
