Chapter 729: The Police Have Arrived
On the third day after returning home, Mu Xiaoyu's condition improved a lot, but her clinginess to Li Chenxu remained unchanged.
However, since they've been back for so many days, Li Chenxu hasn't had time to deal with the police station issues because he's been taking care of Mu Xiaoyu. Now that Mu Xiaoyu is so clingy to Li Chenxu, it's obviously impossible for him to leave her alone at home and go to the police station by himself.
They could only send someone to their door, and they couldn't avoid Mu Xiaoyu's presence.
He was just worried that Mu Xiaoyu would be upset if she heard about what happened before, so he had been hesitant about it.
However, if this matter continues to drag on, Chen Lan and his team will never be able to resolve it.
So after thinking about it, he decided to tell Mu Xiaoyu about it.
Mu Xiaoyu's reaction was much calmer than he had expected. After listening to Li Chenxu's words, her expression did not change at all. Instead, she asked him, "If Chen Lan and your father are sentenced this time, what is the most severe punishment?"
“I will put them in prison for life, with no chance of probation.”
Li Chenxu spoke directly, knowing that Mu Xiaoyu would find out sooner or later. He saw no need to hide it from her, so he decided to tell her now, hoping it would put her mind at ease.
Moreover, compared to the death penalty, life imprisonment is the most severe punishment for people like Chen Lan and Li's father.
Prisons are places where all sorts of people gather. There are serial killers and countless other ruthless individuals. Those who end up there are destined to be bullied. The methods they use to torture people are truly terrifying.
Just as Li Chenxu said before, he would make these two people wish they were dead.
After hearing Li Chenxu's words, Mu Xiaoyu breathed a long sigh of relief. She herself wanted to kill Chen Lan and Li's father for what they had done to her, let alone Li Chenxu.
Those two people deserved their fate.
The police arrived that afternoon. There were only two officers, one of whom was the officer in charge of the case and the captain who had questioned Lin Zhu earlier.
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen a stranger, especially a man, for many days. So when she followed Li Chenxu downstairs and saw the police sitting on the living room sofa, even though she was mentally prepared, she still instinctively hid behind Li Chenxu the moment she saw them.
Her movements were not obvious, but the two police officers present still saw them.
Mu Xiaoyu was both a cartoonist and a celebrity. Although she hasn't been in the industry for long, almost everyone who goes online knows her. After all, she's incredibly beautiful. However, people who haven't seen Mu Xiaoyu in person all assume that her beauty is due to makeup or Photoshop.
It wasn't until they saw her in person and her without makeup that they realized just how beautiful she was.
The two policemen were momentarily stunned, but fortunately they reacted quickly and recovered. Otherwise, if Li Chenxu had seen them staring blankly at Mu Xiaoyu's face, they might have been in trouble.
"It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Li Chenxu's mind wasn't on the two policemen. He faced Mu Xiaoyu, reached out and gently pinched her cheek, pressed his forehead against hers, and affectionately soothed her emotions.
Mu Xiaoyu was still clearly a little scared, but Li Chenxu's presence and the reassurance he had just given her had some effect, so she mustered up her courage and sat down next to him.
But just a few seconds later, she snuggled into Li Chenxu's arms, not even glancing at the two policemen.
In the past, Mu Xiaoyu might have felt embarrassed or awkward. But now, she felt nothing but fear.
As for Li Chenxu, he certainly didn't care what others thought. He held Mu Xiaoyu in his arms, letting her find a comfortable position in his embrace, and only when she stopped moving did he speak: "I'm sorry, my wife hasn't fully recovered yet. We'll have to talk some more, so this is all we can do."
"It's alright, it's alright. Miss Mu, do whatever makes you comfortable."
The two policemen quickly spoke up, saying that Mu Xiaoyu's experiences were already enough to evoke sympathy, and besides, Mu Xiaoyu was so beautiful and looked so delicate and frail that anyone would feel sorry for her. There would be no demanding requests from her.
Li Chenxu didn't speak, his deep eyes falling on the two policemen. He looked at them thoughtfully for a few seconds, and finally laughed: "Xiaoyu has always been sensible. Right now, she'll just stay in my arms. As for other things, she won't do them, nor will she disturb you two while you're on duty, so you can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, the two policemen exchanged a glance. They weren't fools like Chen Lan. As soon as Li Chenxu spoke, they understood something, and their expressions instantly turned serious.
The captain coughed lightly and said seriously, "Actually, the evidence Mr. Li provided before was enough to convict him. The main reason we came here this time is to ask about the specific circumstances at the time. Chen Lan... and your father, according to their confessions, there were more than nine of them, but at the scene, including the two of them and the henchman your father killed, there were only three people. Mr. Li, are you sure there were only three of them at the scene?"
“When I arrived, I heard other noises. It definitely felt like there were more than three people. But when I found my wife, there were only them there. Perhaps they ran away after hearing the commotion from our rescue.”
Faced with the police's interrogative tone, Li Chenxu's expression remained unchanged, his tone almost indifferent. After speaking, he seemed to remember something and added, "My assistant was waiting for us outside, just in case, so he didn't know anything about the other side. I think you didn't get anything out of my assistant, so you came to me, right?"
Li Chenxu was absolutely right. No matter how they asked Lin Zhu, he kept saying he didn't know. His story was no different from Li Chenxu's, but when the captain recalled Chen Lan and Li's father's testimonies, he felt that Li Chenxu and Lin Zhu were definitely lying.
However, this was merely their speculation. They had no idea what the actual situation was.
If the speculation is true, Li Chenxu and his group will not back down, and since they have no evidence, they can't do anything to Li Chenxu.
Most importantly, do they really want to figure this out?
