Chapter 273 Li Chenxu is his target
This time, Mu Xiaoyu finally reacted. She frowned and stared intently at Mu Pengzheng, asking in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Pengzheng didn't speak immediately. He stared at Mu Xiaoyu with a half-smile for a long time before slowly saying, "You should still remember what happened back then, right?"
Mu Xiaoyu certainly remembered; she would never forget it in her entire life.
It was Mu Pengzheng who drugged her and personally delivered her to Li Chenxu's bed. Shortly after that night, she married Li Chenxu. It was also after their marriage that Mu Pengzheng murdered her mother.
Individually, Mu Xiaoyu would never forget any of these things.
However, what Mu Xiaoyu had always wanted to know was why Li Chenxu had married her in the first place. She had always wanted to figure this out, and even suspected that Li Chenxu had married her only because of some conspiracy or revenge.
Later, as she experienced more things with Li Chenxu, her thoughts gradually changed. Eventually, she stopped dwelling on the past. She knew that living well in the present was the most important thing.
What does it mean that Mu Pengzheng is suddenly bringing these things up?
Mu Xiaoyu felt there was a possible trap involved. She didn't say anything, but carefully examined Mu Pengzheng, as if trying to discern something from his face.
"Stop looking. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to read anything from my face. We've come this far, so I won't waste any more words with you. The matter of me killing your mother was a setup by Li Chenxu. I admit that I was a bit too harsh on your mother back then, but I never intended to kill her. Our family is now in such a state because of Li Chenxu!"
When the matter from back then was mentioned, Mu Pengzheng became very agitated, and the hatred in his eyes was almost overflowing.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Mu Pengzheng's emotions.
She didn't know whether what Mu Pengzheng had just said was true or false. If it was true, why would Mu Pengzheng do it?
In her memory, her family had no hatred whatsoever with Li Chenxu, so why would he do this?
“My dear daughter, I’m telling you this now so that you know who you should like and who you shouldn’t. If I hadn’t come out, you would probably still be hopelessly in love with that kid Li Chenxu. He’s the one who indirectly caused your mother’s death.”
In the past, Mu Xiaoyu would have believed Mu Pengzheng without hesitation. But the Mu Xiaoyu of today is not the same person she was back then, so she naturally wouldn't believe Mu Pengzheng so easily.
She doesn't trust anyone until there's enough evidence.
However, for now, Mu Xiaoyu still needs to deal with Mu Pengzheng.
She was silent for a few seconds, a sad and sorrowful look on her face. Finally, she looked up at Mu Pengzheng in front of her and said in a trembling voice, "If that's the case, why did you kidnap me? Shouldn't the person you really want to take revenge on be Li Chenxu?"
“If I hadn’t brought you here, would Li Chenxu have come? How would I have known your mother’s whereabouts?”
Mu Pengzheng immediately replied, his expression softening slightly as he spoke, as if he had thought of something, and his expression immediately turned full of sarcasm.
"Speaking of which, that kid Li Chenxu has done so many heinous things, but I never expected that he actually likes you. It's just that I don't know how much he likes you. If he comes tonight and you're alright, or if he doesn't come for something important, you can't blame me for being heartless as his father."
If everything Mu Pengzheng said before was true, and all of this had nothing to do with Mu Xiaoyu, but just because Li Chenxu didn't come and they couldn't find Mu Xiaoyu's mother's whereabouts, he was willing to harm his own daughter. This shows that Mu Pengzheng didn't care about Mu Xiaoyu at all.
Indeed, everything Mu Pengzheng had done before proved his ruthlessness towards Mu Xiaoyu.
For him, perhaps the only person he cares about even a little is Mu Xiaoyu's mother.
As for whether Mu Xiaoyu himself is alive or dead, he doesn't care at all.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu had long been utterly disappointed in Mu Pengzheng, so she didn't feel sorry for him when he said these things. She was only thinking about how to get rid of him.
Mu Pengzheng's words were quite clear: this kidnapping, or rather, everything that had happened before, was actually aimed at Li Chenxu. Everything before was just a smokescreen; Mu Pengzheng's true target was Li Chenxu.
For Mu Xiaoyu, it didn't matter if something happened to her, but it was most important that nothing happened to Li Chenxu.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu bit her lip, her eyes filled with a do-or-die determination as she looked at Mu Pengzheng: "I think you might have misunderstood some things. Li Chenxu doesn't like me as much as you think. This matter involves his own safety, and even if you keep waiting like this, he won't come back. Besides, if you keep dragging this out, and Li Chenxu calls the police, you'll be in trouble."
She's already died once, so she's not afraid to die again.
Upon hearing this, Mu Pengzheng raised an eyebrow, a knowing look appearing in his eyes as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu. He gave her a half-smile and said, "Girl, I am, after all, your father. We're blood relatives, so do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Let me tell you the truth: no matter what you say, you can't change my decision. Unless Li Chenxu himself doesn't want to come, otherwise..."
Mu Pengzheng didn't continue speaking, but the meaning behind his words was self-evident.
From the moment she woke up until she thought she was going to die again, Mu Xiaoyu wasn't afraid. But now, hearing Mu Pengzheng's words, Mu Xiaoyu's hands started to tremble.
Only now did she truly understand the panic Li Chenxu felt when she had her accident.
She was a little scared, afraid that she would cause trouble for Li Chenxu because of her.
Time passed slowly, and it was now close to the Spring Festival, with the weather colder than ever before. Mu Xiaoyu was tied to the rooftop by Mu Peng, the biting wind relentlessly chilling her body.
At first, Mu Xiaoyu was able to hold on, but later she became dizzy and her consciousness gradually faded. If this continued, she was afraid that she would be the one who would die before Li Chenxu's men arrived.
