Falling For The Contract Bride Chapter 208

Chapter 208 He… Committed Suicide

A man with such lustrous eyes must be a man who can be bribed easily.

Xiao Qingqing must have used the money to lure him into working for her.

And money was often the most unreliable thing.

“Zhang Si, you have a daughter diagnosed with leukemia right? Have you ever thought about what would happen to your daughter’s treatment if you were exposed?”

At first, the man looked undaunted. He suddenly turned agitated when Shen Mobo mentioned of his daughter.

“What do you want? Don’t you dare touch my daughter.”

“I’ll not lay my hands on your daughter. Perhaps, I could even save her.”

“What do you want?”

The man raised his head and looked at Shen Mobo.

Shen Mobo looked indifferent. “I’ll not touch your daughter nor will I be bothered at all. But the one thing you should know is that even if you succeed this time, the money you earn could only afford for a year’s

“There you go.”

At that moment, Shen Mobo took a bag of pills out of his pocket and handed it to the man in front of him.

He smiled faintly and said, “Eat this and I will pay for your daughter’s treatment from now on.”

“Why should I believe you?”

The man was still vigilant, but not as tough as he was a moment ago.

Shen Mobo was not annoyed. He replied, “Because… I’m trustworthy. I have to save the one who instructed you to do all this.”

Shen Mobo glanced at the time and shoved the pill directly into the man’s mouth.

“If you choose not to die and let your daughter die instead, you may hold the pill in your mouth. This way, Lu Jinye will not be able to get anything out of you and you will be sent to jail. Crush the pill and swallow it if you choose to work for me.”

What he said was pretty straightforward.

Shen Mobo knew that there was no time left for him to chat. After saying what he had to say, he turned and walked towards the door.

Right before he left, Shen Mobo added, “I’ve seen your family. Your wife is very beautiful. She can be married again after you die. Your daughter is lovely too. After you die, I promise that she will be adopted by an upper-class family and she will live a worry-free life.”

“But… If you don’t die, she will be known as a kidnapper’s child and your wife will have to live shamefully. Your daughter may not even be able to attend school. And what can a child do if she can’t even attend school? Can you bear to see her working at the construction site with you?”

Shen Mobo did not speak again after saying that.

He retracted his gaze and walked out the door.

When he was at the door, he lowered his head and dusted his body as if he had been covered with germs after being in the same room with that man.

…

Lu Jinye had just arrived at the villa in the mountains. He saw Mu Zhi waiting at the door when he was about to get out of the car.

Lu Jinye frowned and looked at Mu Zhi. “Why are you here? Where’s Xiaomu?”

With a thermos in her hand, Mu Zhi replied, “Xiaomu has grown up. She doesn’t seem to be too frightened, so she went to Liang Jieyi’s house with Xiaoning and Xu Se.”

Lu Jinye saw the thermos that Mu Zhi was holding. He took over the thermos while bringing Mu Zhi into his arms and said, “It’s better that way. She will not think about the unhappy incident when she’s having fun.”

After that, he gathered Mu Zhi in his arms and together, they walked into the villa.

“Did you find out? Who was the mastermind?”

When entering the door, Mu Zhi asked.

Lu Jinye shook his head in response.

“Could it be… Xiao Qingqing’s fan and we are just overthinking?”

Mu Zhi put forward her ideas. She had put a lot of thought into this matter.

But Lu Jinye opposed all her ideas.

“Then shall we leave it to the police for the interrogation?”

Mu Zhi made further suggestions again.

After keeping silent for a while, Lu Jinye said, “The murderer who kidnapped Xiaomu was released on bail after he was imprisoned. He has someone powerful behind his back.”

“If this person is imprisoned, I’m afraid that he’d be exploited before we could even ask anything.”

“So…”

Lu Jinye concluded and kept silent. “So, it’s not as simple as it seems. Instead of kidnapping Mu Xiaomu, I believe they are coming for me!”

After hearing these words, Mu Zhi could feel her heart shiver.

The situation was already chaotic. If it involved Lu Jinye, how much more complicated would it be?

Seeing how worried Mu Zhi looked, Lu Jinye stretched out his hand to hold Mu Zhi’s. He comforted her and said, “Don’t worry. It’s not that complicated.”

After saying this, he then changed the subject and served the food on the table. He took out the food that Mu Zhi had prepared for him and praised, “This looks delicious.”

Mu Zhi was still a little worried.

She contemplated and asked Lu Jinye, “Jinye, can I take a look at that person?”

The villa was very secured and the kidnapper was all tied up. He would not be able to hurt Mu Zhi.

Therefore, Lu Jinye did not turn down her request.

After getting permission, Mu Zhi quickly walked to the basement and opened the door.

The man was still alive at that moment. When Mu Zhi entered the door, she saw the man’s watery eyes, as if he had cried.

Mu Zhi looked at him in great astonishment. “Why are you crying? My child was kidnapped by you and she could very well develop a trauma. I should be the one crying!”

She tried to talk some sense into the man through reasoning and mental games.

However… There was not enough time for Mu Zhi to continue with her inner conflicts.

The man disrupted her and said, “Don’t waste your energy on me!”

After speaking, there was a movement in his mouth. Before Mu Zhi could realize what was happening, the man’s face had turned red.

Almost instantly, he died.

Mu Zhi was speechless.

Mu Zhi was completely stunned.

She was so frightened that she hurried forward to check on him. He seemed to have swallowed a poisonous substance!

She got closer to smell and that confirmed her doubt earlier! NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Lu Jinye!”

Mu Zhi could not bother to react. She immediately shouted for Lu Jinye.

She ran up the stairs in a flurry.

Lu Jinye was about to go to the basement. Seeing the panic-stricken Mu Zhi, he quickly calmed her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“He… He committed suicide!”

“I… I had only said one thing and he committed suicide!”

Mu Zhi’s body was trembling in fear when she said that.

She did not understand. How could he commit suicide after hearing what she had to say?

Seeing Mu Zhi in this state, Lu Jinye calmed her once again and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go take a look! Take a seat and wait for me!”
