Chapter 257 He Can't Say Anything
Li Chenxu has been saying so many sweet nothings, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that Mu Xiaoyu has developed a bit of immunity to them, but she still feels her heart race every time she hears them.
She glanced quickly at Li Chenxu, and finally muttered under her breath, "Fine, whatever you want."
Li Chenxu found Mu Xiaoyu's awkward expression quite adorable, but since now was not the time for the two of them to be affectionate, he didn't say anything more after hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words.
The maid quickly brought over a handkerchief sprayed with perfume. Mu Xiaoyu covered her mouth and nose and went into the basement with Li Chenxu.
Upon entering, one immediately sees the man who looks remarkably like Mu Pengzheng, leaning weakly against a corner, while Xu Sulin, who was brought in a few hours earlier, is tied to a stool and screaming incessantly.
Before she came in, Mu Xiaoyu heard Xu Sulin's screams from outside and thought that Li Chenxu had done something to Xu Sulin. But after she came in and saw Xu Sulin inside unharmed, her feelings became complicated.
She had previously only suspected that Xu Sulin had mental problems, but now it was almost certain.
They didn't do anything to Xu Sulin at all, yet they made such a fuss. How could an ordinary person do that?
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but glance at Li Chenxu beside her with some worry and asked, "Do you think Xu Sulin might have mental problems? If so, is there anything we can get out of her?"
Li Chenxu shook his head upon hearing this: "Xu Sulin's personality is indeed a bit extreme, but she hasn't gone crazy yet. If she really were crazy, she wouldn't have done what she did about the movie a while ago. However, we can't rule out the possibility that someone was giving her advice behind the scenes. If she really has some kind of relationship with Mu Pengzheng, it's very likely that Mu Pengzheng was also involved in the movie incident last time."
Li Chenxu's words instantly reminded Mu Xiaoyu that she had forgotten about the movie.
The two spoke in hushed tones, and because they entered quietly, Xu Sulin inside didn't notice them at first.
After a while, Xu Sulin finally caught sight of Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu out of the corner of her eye. Instantly, the already piercing scream became even louder. Mu Xiaoyu was seriously discussing something with Li Chenxu when she suddenly heard Xu Sulin's scream, which gave her goosebumps.
She instinctively grabbed Li Chenxu's arm, her throat tightening with nervousness, and whispered, "Luckily you tied Xu Sulin up back then, otherwise, who knows how crazy she would have been when we came in."
Mu Xiaoyu is quite brave, but what she fears most is coming into contact with a 'madman' like Xu Sulin, especially when the other party goes crazy and fights her to the death.
She can't afford to take that risk.
"Brother Chenxu! Brother Chenxu! How could you do this to me! I like you so much, how could you do this to me! Was it that bitch by your side who instigated you! It must be her! You never treated me like this before..."
Seeing the two whispering intimately to each other, Xu Sulin screamed and cursed at Mu Xiaoyu.
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't some naive young person easily provoked; upon hearing Xu Sulin's words, she actually laughed. Seeing Li Chenxu about to walk towards Xu Sulin, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed Li Chenxu's hand, shook her head at him, and then walked to Xu Sulin herself.
Xu Sulin, who had been loudly cursing Mu Xiaoyu, immediately stopped when she saw Mu Xiaoyu walk up to her.
The eyes that looked at Mu Xiaoyu even carried a hint of fear.
Xu Sulin actually concealed it very well, but Mu Xiaoyu still managed to catch him.
She couldn't help but laugh, then squatted down in front of Xu Sulin, slightly raising her head to look up at him.
Many people might find this gesture weaker when performed by others. However, when Mu Xiaoyu did it, the imposing presence was not diminished at all. On the contrary, her composed expression exuded a strength and ease that is rare among ordinary women.
She remained in that position, staring at Xu Sulin without saying a word, just staring at him intently.
"What...what exactly do you want to do?!"
Xu Sulin was stared at by Mu Xiaoyu for a long time before finally speaking haltingly, his voice trembling.
This is the effect Mu Xiaoyu wanted, but it's far from enough.
She glanced at the side of Xu Sulin, where there was a basket filled with all sorts of odds and ends. Because the light wasn't very bright, she couldn't see the contents very clearly, but she could see the bloodstains on one of the blades.
It seems that when Li Chenxu dealt with Mu Chao here, he used something from here.
Mu Xiaoyu's lips curled into a smile, and the next second, she took out an extremely simple tool that resembled a fruit knife. It wasn't quite a fruit knife, though; it had some hook-like prongs on it.
She took out the object and slowly applied it to Xu Sulin's face.
From the moment Mu Xiaoyu took out the tool, Xu Sulin's wide eyes were fixed on it. Fear of death is a human instinct, but compared to men, beautiful women are more afraid of ruining their faces.
If the tool Mu Xiaoyu took out were actually used on her face, it would most likely cause disfigurement.
If Xu Sulin's face were to suffer even the slightest mishap, it would be a devastating blow to her.
Mu Xiaoyu smiled and, holding a utility knife, slowly moved it across Xu Sulin's face. The icy touch sent shivers down Xu Sulin's spine, and tears streamed down her face in fear.
"Xu Sulin, what exactly is your relationship with Mu Pengzheng?"
Seeing that the time was right, Mu Xiaoyu finally spoke. Her hand paused as she spoke, and the next second, the sharp blade was pointed directly at Xu Sulin's face. Now, with just the slightest pressure, she could slice Xu Sulin's face open with the blade.
Based on Mu Xiaoyu's limited understanding of Xu Sulin, at this point, Xu Sulin would more or less reveal some useful information to them. At the very least, in order to save face, he would at least reveal a little bit.
To Mu Xiaoyu's surprise, even though Xu Sulin was already so scared, he still didn't say anything.
His face turned deathly pale, and he swayed precariously, as if he were about to faint at any moment.
"It's no use. Even if you kill me now, I won't say a word..."
