Chapter Eighty-Seven

  "Get out."

  Shu Mu stood with his back to Li Jin, his face unseen, but his tone was icy and stern, exuding a hint of murderous intent that made one's heart tremble. The thugs holding Li Jin were clearly from the He family, yet they too feared Shu Mu's unyielding demeanor, not even daring to ask for instructions from He Yuesong before meekly releasing their grip on Li Jin's arm and retreating with a slight bow.

  Li Jin was already at the end of his rope, and when the muzzle on his forehead moved away, he collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. His body screamed in pain all over, even trying to prop himself up with his hands was so difficult, if it weren't for Shu Mu being in front of him, he would have given up and passed out from exhaustion.

  Shu Mu didn't put him in his heart at all, he couldn't even be bothered to glance at Li Jin, those beautiful eyes that were usually full of emotions were now icy and piercing, they only faintly swept across He Er's face, causing He Er's lips to tremble and his heart to shake violently.

  "Ah Shu......" Although the matter had been exposed, He Yuesong still smiled at Shu Mu like an ostrich, as if he had just made a few jokes and told a couple of funny stories, and the fact that he had pointed a gun at someone had never happened. "How did you come here yourself? Didn't we agree that you wouldn't......"

  "We also agreed on the phone, aren't you going to kill him?" Shu Mu interrupted his words in a cold tone.

  He Yuesong handled this matter extremely improperly, with loopholes everywhere. Not to mention Li Yiheng who had eight hearts, anyone with a brain would know that he was the one who tied people up. So Shu Mu had already instructed him on the phone, telling him to take advantage of the event not yet deteriorating, and quickly rein in his horses, fearing that he would not listen to advice, and specially analyzed the reasons for him.

  He Yuesheng is the youngest child of his parents, and since he was a kid, everyone around him has been spoiling him. Even if he says that one plus one equals three, as long as he thinks it's right, then it's right. So even though He Er Gongzi has grown up to this age, he still has an overflowing confidence. On the phone, Shu Mu says a sentence and he responds with just a "hmm", looking like he's about to write the words "perfunctory" on his face. In the end, Shu Mu feels like he's playing the piano to a cow, coldly laughs and hangs up the phone, not caring that there are so many people waiting for him to film on set, and drives straight onto the main road.

  As expected, Mr. He Er did not listen to advice and still held his gun with a fierce attitude, wanting to kill someone.

  It's really hopeless.

  "I hate him, why can't I kill him?" Just looking at Shu Mu's expression, He Yuesong also knew that he must be despising himself again in his heart. At this moment, that inexplicable and unspeakable hidden pain churned up from the deepest part of his heart again. His intention to kill Li Jin was not so strong originally, but now it was stimulated by other emotions, and it seemed like he had to kill him.

  He crawled two steps to Li Jin's front, like a paralyzed and disgusting wild dog on the ground, and fiercely rolled towards Li Jin's already injured shoulder, hysterically saying: "He should die, shouldn't he? He eavesdropped on your conversation with that dead ghost, knew about the recording and told Li Yiheng, making Li Yiheng chase after our butts to investigate, almost taking away our initiative several times. And he himself is not a good thing either - wasn't it him who appeared afterwards when our people went to kill Huang Erzi that night? It was him who hired Huang Erzi! Fortunately, Huang Erzi died and the recording disappeared, otherwise if the recording fell into his hands and was made public... Shu Mu, you and I would both be finished!"

  He Yueshang's foot came down with force, almost crushing Li Jin's shoulder blade. Li Jin was in agony, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down from his forehead to the corners of his eyes, he didn't notice at all, his whole heart and soul focused on what He Yueshang had just said.

  So I guessed it right myself.

  Ke Yuan's death, Shu Mu is the murderer, and He Yuesong is the accomplice.

  And it was also them who killed Huang Erzi that night.

  They tortured Huang Erzi to get a recording, but when they couldn't get what they wanted, they simply killed him and set up a fake scene to deceive themselves...

  Suddenly, Huang Erzi's eyes that refused to die appeared in his mind, and Li Jin's nose turned sour. He quickly pretended to be in pain and frowned to cover it up.

  "And even if there weren't those things, just based on the little actions he's been doing behind my back, I wouldn't forgive him! At first, it was okay when he incited the fans, but this time...this time..." He Yuesong suddenly raised her foot and collapsed into Shu Mu's arms, almost choking with sobs. "Shu Mu, do you know? Big brother told me to stop interfering with company matters from now on, and if I had nothing to do, I could choose any subsidiary to play with, just don't interfere with He Shi Entertainment's affairs...Shu Mu, how can I help you if I'm not allowed to touch He Shi's affairs?! And He Shi is my family's industry, but he's made me lose power and face, becoming a laughing stock in the industry. Tell me, shouldn't I kill him?!"

  He was born with a doll-like face, and at this moment, he spoke with emotion, his eyes reddening, looking like an exquisite doll that evokes sympathy. Shu Mu grasped his elbow, using not much strength in his palm, yet the man held tightly onto his collar, as if his legs were unable to support his own weight due to sorrow, and if Shu Mu didn't hold him, he would collapse.

  Shu Mu actually knew that he was used to playing this poor trick since childhood, thinking that with just one push, everyone would buy his account, indulging him and catering to his will.

  Even if he withdrew his palm at this time and kicked him hard, he still wouldn't fall.

  But Shu Mu didn't kick him, on the contrary, he took advantage of the momentum to hold him tightly in his arms, as if he was really heartbroken, and whispered to him: "He is after all Li Yiheng's person, Song Song, you are too rash. This time Li's family has taken the upper hand, and many of He's industries are on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for Big Brother's intervention, I'm afraid they would have been destroyed in an instant. Big Brother is now trying his best to avoid a direct confrontation with Li Yiheng, but you're giving him trouble at this critical moment, really...

  It's really what it is, Shu Mu couldn't say anymore.

  Because he was so deeply engrossed in his own emotions that he became addicted, and when he lowered his head, their eyes met with those of Li Jin.

  There was a moment when he felt that this gaze must have been seen somewhere before. There seemed to be someone like that, standing in a place where he couldn't notice, watching him hold different people in his arms, or true or false, talking about countless love scenes. His eyes were so complex, as if sad, yet pretending to be calm, as if resentful, yet pretending to be tolerant.

  He yearned for the day when he could also give him a warm hug, waited for one or two years, eight or ten years, but to no avail. He gave up, but in the end, his heart still couldn't calm down.

  Shu Muxin's voice was choked with sobs, but he couldn't bear to turn his head away. He Yue Sheng thought he was so worried that his throat was constricted, so he raised his head and gave Shu Mu a gentle smile, comforting him: "Don't be afraid, Ah Shu, others may fear Li Yiheng, but we, the He family, are not afraid, because..."

  He smiled slightly and pressed down on Shu Mu's occipital bone, whispering in his ear in a voice that only Shu Mu could hear.

  As his voice trailed off, Shu Mu's eyes suddenly widened.
