Chapter 696: Death by Accident

Li Beinian asked again, “How is the other person? He’s not in danger is he?”

“Of course not. The other party is a muscled man far fitter than you.” Chi Hailang looked at her and picked up his cell phone to call his parents as he continued, “Unfortunately, he’s broken his leg and he’s lying down now, but he’s come to for a while now. Hello, Mom, Beinian is awake…”

As he spoke, he walked out of the room.

Li Beinian stare at the ceiling with mixed emotions.

On the other end.

T Jing had been listening to Li Beinian and Lin Kerou’s conversation.

There was only one thought in his mind: What the hell!

Ignoring the fact that Lin Kerou picked up Mu Donglin’s call, why did she have to specifically say that Mu Donglin was showering?

Was she trying to provoke her former love rival?

T Jing listened attentively.

However, there was no response.

Lin Kerou continued, “Nian Nian, what’s up? Do you need me to take a message?”

“I heard that you and Mu Xichen are married. Congratulations.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

However, no matter what Lin Kerou said, Li Beinian only heard the howling of the wind.

And it was getting louder and louder, there was a harshness to it.

T Jing had an ominous feeling.

About ten seconds later, as if to confirm his bad guess, a loud crash came from the other end.

“Beep—”

A long and loud blaring.

T Jing was so shocked that he almost jumped. The laptop that was sitting on his knees fell to the ground. Suddenly, T Jing’s heart was racing.

What… happened?

“Hello? Nian Nian? Are you okay?” It was Lin Kerou’s voice. “Did you get into a car accident?”

She couldn’t help but gloat.

T Jing cursed and swore silently!

What a bitch!

On the other end of the line, Mu Xichen could not hear Li Beinian’s conversation, but he had a good grip on T Jing’s situation.

Hearing the commotion, he asked in a lowered voice, “What’s the matter?”

T Jing quickly calmed down and picked up the computer. “I’m fine. I was frightened by a mouse.”

As he spoke, he picked up his cell phone and sent a message to his teammate 5L: What’s going on with Sister-in-law?

5L, who was supposed to be patiently waiting for news by the phone, did not reply immediately. About ten minutes later, he replied briefly.

[5L]: Car accident.

T Jing frowned and sighed silently.

[5L]: Don’t tell Boss for now in case he gets distracted. She seems fine and has been sent to the hospital.

[T]: Ok.

Having been shot in the arm, the feeling of having lost blood was definitely uncomfortable.

The bullet was still lodged in his biceps and Mu Xichen could clearly feel the blood flow in his body weakening.

He had been abandoned in the wilderness for a long time. From afternoon till nightfall, he had been left alone in the cold wind.

Shi Yuanhang looked at Mu Xichen from afar and appeared to be in a good mood.

He got out of the car and walked towards the man slowly with a subtle smile. “Chief, I didn’t expect that we’d meet in such a place. I thought that the next time I saw you, you’d be a lieutenant general or even a general. Such a bright future. What a waste.”

Mu Xichen suddenly smiled faintly at these words.

His face was as pale as sheet. It was bathed in the reflection of the light bouncing off the water surface. Under the moonlight, it him look particularly terrifying.

“I didn’t expect you to have grown so bold.”

Although no one would come to a tunnel like this under the bridge, there were cars heading both directions overhead. If someone were to come here on a whim to pee or have a make out session, they would be done for.

It had to be said though, that desperate people were indeed more daring than ordinary kidnappers.

Shi Yuanhang restrained his smile and glanced at the man’s arm that was crusted with dried blood.

It was still wet where the bullet went in.

Meanwhile, Mu Xichen’s light-colored suit was stained red.

“I know you don’t want to die. You have a family now, and you can’t die.” Shi Yuanhang looked down at him. “This deal is very beneficial for both of us. We’re old friends, so I won’t mistreat you. I’ve already discussed it with the boss. I’ll give you 30% of the profits after every transaction.”

Mu Xichen leaned against the wall of the bridge limply and looked up at him.

Only, there wasn’t a single trace of indignity on his face.

On the contrary, there was an indescribable calmness that was uniquely Mu Xichen.

His pale lips curled slightly upwards with subtle mockery.

His gaze swept past Shi Yuanhang indifferently and finally fell on Peter behind him. “Deal? What sort?”

“A business deal, of course.” Shi Yuanhang stepped forward. The man looked like he was dying, but did not lose his composure at all. There was anger on his face.

Peter, on the other hand, was not so kind. He stepped forward and stepped on Mu Xichen’s chest. He laughed sinisterly and said in broken Chinese, “Don’t pretend. You know everything I know, you bastard!”

Mu Xichen creased his brow and leaned against the wall in pain.

Shi Yuanhang pulled Peter away. “Don’t kill him. Boss still wants to collaborate with him.”

Except that, cooperation was only a word they used. To put it bluntly, they only wanted to make use of him.

However, some words are not meant to be spoken aloud.

Mu Xichen understood and smiled. “It looks like you two have become a family. Congratulations.”

“Thanks to you.” Shi Yuanhang took out his cigarette case and shoved a cigarette between his lips. He sneered, “Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Peter laughed and continued, “Shi, Mu had also sacrificed you for the sake of others. It saved the entire team. What a great man.”

When Shi Yuanhang heard this, his eyes turned icy again. He flicked the cigarette ash onto Mu Xichen and said, “You only have two choices now. One, work with us and we will be partners in the future. This is a win-win situation. Two, die in an accident tonight.”

“Shouldn’t you at least have to tell me what exactly the deal is?” Mu Xichen’s expression was calm and his voice was flat. “I won’t do anything illegal.”

“You don’t have to break the law.” Shi Yuanhang puffed out a ring of smoke. “You just have to help us ensure that someone passes the border.”

Mu Xichen held a high position in the military. Although he had retired from the army, this matter would be a piece of cake for him.

“It’s just securing the entry of a person, so why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?” Mu Xichen laughed helplessly. “You’ve made such a big deal of it that I thought you were after my life. How scary.”

Peter hated Mu Xichen’s sloppy attitude. Just as he was about to make a move, he saw that Shi Yuanhang had already bent over to grab the man’s collar. He gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t give me that look. Be clear of your own position here. If I wish to kill you, it’s as easy as crushing an ant!”
