C69 The Truth Is Clear

Although the Wind and Water Appearance Mantra came from the same branch, it had many branches. The Heaven and Earth Appearances were incompatible with fire and water, and the Ghost Appearance Mantra was close to extinction. Lin Bai didn't believe that there would be another Ghost sect disciple in all of the cities, other than the one that was with Chen Beihuang.

"Did the Chen family use this mother and daughter pair to threaten you?!" Lin Bai looked at Li Keqin and said indifferently. His voice didn't have any fluctuation in emotion, it sounded unusually quiet.

Li Keqin originally looked timidly at his Nannan, but after hearing Lin Bai's words, he suddenly raised his head and said with a trembling voice, "Chen …" What Chen family? "I don't know. I was the only one who did this, it has nothing to do with anyone else. You can stop pestering me."

"I don't want to find out, but I can't watch a little girl who has just turned two years old without a father, and I can't watch a woman I like who searches every day but can't find her husband's body, so I have to find out." Lin Bai looked at Li Keqin and continued, "So please be at ease, tell us the truth about what happened to you."

Li Keqin lowered his head, lifted up the little girl's face, and stared into the little girl's pure and flawless eyes. He softly said, "I can't say. Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

"Speak, as long as you speak of it, we will believe you. Since we can come in and see you, we can naturally release you as well. " Liu Jingtian said. Hearing Li Keqin's words, Liu Jingtian couldn't help but become curious. He wanted to know what exactly happened that year that caused such a reaction.

Li Keqin clenched his teeth. After hesitating for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Someone threatened me. If I told them what I saw at that time, then my family wouldn't be able to survive. So all these years, I've chosen to remain silent."

Seeing Li Keqin's dejected expression, Lin Bai took out a cigarette from Liu Jingtian's body, lit it up, and handed it over. Although smoking was bad, nicotine had a calming effect. It was the best way to calm Li Keqin's heart.

As the smoke in the room began to rise, the events of the past began to unfold one by one in front of everyone.

After Li Keqin was promoted, one of his colleagues, who often traveled, suggested that they go to the Chaobai River and eat at a roadside stall. After eating, he would be able to take a swim in the river to relieve the heat. As a result, the group of people went to the bank of the White River.

After three rounds of drinking and a few skewers of meat, the scorching heat in the air, along with the effects of the chili peppers and wine, mixed together. The group then went to the river to take a bath. Li Keqin didn't like the liveliness, so he went upstream with a colleague. Who knew that when they reached the upstream, they would see a few figures moving about. Li Keqin had good eyes, so he could vaguely see that someone seemed to be drowning.

Just as he was about to go up to rescue them, he saw two other people on the riverbank. One of them was dressed in Daoist attire, as if he was preparing something, while the other one was looking at the struggling people in the river.

Li Keqin's colleagues were shocked when they saw this, and they shouted loudly. However, before he could say anything, the old Daoist Priest moved his hand. An extremely cold black shadow shot towards them.

By the time Li had regained consciousness, he was leaning against the car while several of his colleagues had been killed by the wheels.

"Later on, that young man brought Linlin's photo to find me in the prison, warning me that if I were to speak of what happened that year, my family's lives would be lost …" At this point, Li Keqin clenched his teeth, a hint of coldness in his eyes, and even a hint of killing intent coming out from them.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment. Feeling something, he hurriedly asked, "Do you know what the name of that young man is?"

"When I was in a coma, I heard someone calling him Bei Huang. I don't know anything else!" Li Keqin lowered his head and thought for a moment.

The air suddenly quieted down, leaving only the ticking of the clock in the large living room.

After staring blankly for a moment, Xia Xiaoqing stared at Li Keqin and said with a trembling voice, "No … "Impossible, you're lying. Bei Huang and Nan Yu are brothers, how could they do such a thing?!"

As far as Xia Xiaoqing knew, Chen Beihuang and Chen Nanyu had a good relationship. Although Chen Beihuang liked to mess things up at first, he was still respectful to Chen Nan Yu and had a good relationship with him. Although there were quite a few battles between the big clans in the four or nine cities, their seniors all had strict rules prohibiting internal fights.

Furthermore, after Chen Nan Yu's death, Chen Beihuang had treated Xia Xiaoqing with respect. Therefore, what Li Keqin said had almost exceeded Xia Xiaoqing's capability to think. She could not believe that Chen Beihuang would do such a crazy thing.

"You told me what you said wasn't true …" Xia Xiaoqing looked at Li Keqin and said in a daze.

Li Keqin raised his head with a bitter smile and choked with sobs, "I already said that no one would believe me. Who would be willing to believe that a young master of a capital would have his hands stained with blood!"

Hearing Li Keqin's words, Xia Xiaoqing's body suddenly bent a lot. It was as if she had suddenly aged, even her lips were trembling.

No matter what, she wouldn't be able to imagine it. Chen Nan Yu, who had gone all out in his effort in making the Chen family shine again in the political field, had actually died at the hands of his own younger brother in the end. All of the effort he had put in and all of the effort he had expended, when thinking back, was like a sneer.

Xia Xiaoqing felt as though the thing she had been persisting in was instantly overturned. Even someone like her, who was used to life being heavily damaged, found it hard to endure this kind of blow.

Seeing Xia Xiaoqing's pale face, even her lips were bloodless. Lin Bai hastily supported her by the shoulders and whispered, "Xiaoqing, it's normal for there to be so many scum in this world. Things have already happened for so long, so you shouldn't hurt your mind."

"Thank you for telling me the truth. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end. I will definitely give you an explanation and make it up to you!" Xia Xiaoqing took a deep breath, not daring to look Li Keqin in the face as she said softly.

Li Keqin did not say anything, but looked at the grey-painted ceiling with a dejected look. With a mocking smile on his face, he softly said, "An explanation?! Compensation?! What kind of explanation, what kind of compensation can restore my most youthful time, and can compensate me for missing out on my daughter's growing up?! "

Silence reigned in the living room. No one spoke for a long time. Li Keqin was indeed very right. If he owed someone money, then he could return it tenfold or even a hundredfold. But with such a precious time and happy life, who could make up for it? Who could laugh and say that it was nothing?

"Xiao Qing, this has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. The culprit is Chen Beihuang. Now that we know all of this, even if that kid has the power, he won't be able to turn the situation around." Lin Bai gently caressed Xia Xiaoqing's back as he gently said that.

The atmosphere in the reception hall was extremely heavy. Lin Bai was afraid that if Xia Xiaoqing continued to stay in there, she would grow agitated, so he quickly brought her out. Liu Jingtian greeted the warden and gave Li Keqin the procedure of going to a doctor outside the country, allowing the several men from the Lee family to gather together.

Xia Xiaoqing's expression was terrible. She did not object to Lin Bai holding her arm. The prison was located in the outskirts of the capital, and it was very quiet outside. Xia Xiaoqing looked at the lush and verdant forest, turned her head, and softly said to Lin Bai, "Can we go out for a walk?"

Lin Bai nodded and agreed. Going out to take a breath of fresh air was a good method to temporarily ease his mood.

"Sometimes I think, if I was born in a normal family, it would be better to be a little stupid if I wasn't so smart. That way, I'll have less of what I can only do now. Find an ordinary husband, give birth to a less intelligent son, and don't think about wealth or wealth, just living a dull life is very good. " Xia Xiaoqing murmured as she gazed into the distance at the verdant mountains.

Lin Bai laughed bitterly and said softly, "There is no such thing as good in this world." You now think that little people are incredibly happy, but you don't know that they are also worried. Worried about the rise in the price of tea with salt and vinegar, worried about the unattainable house, worried about the disaster that might happen at any moment. "No matter what position you are in, life isn't as good as you think it is?"

"At least they can be happy." Xia Xiaoqing sat at the side of a small mountain path, picking up a small flower by the side of the road and gently sniffing it with her nose as she spoke.

Lin Bai did not reply. After a long period of silence, he turned his head to follow Xia Xiaoqing's gaze towards the distant group of people. He softly said, "If you are willing, although I cannot guarantee that I will be happy, I can at least make you happier."

"Of course, I don't want you to answer me because I helped you find the corpse, or because I want to help you with the Feng Shui Bureau. I'm not in a hurry for you to give me an answer, so I can wait." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Xia Xiaoqing did not say anything as her eyes started to moisten. She raised her head to look at the distant mountains that were hazy to her, and bit her lips.

"I'm a little man and you're a little woman. To be honest, I think we're really well-matched." Lin Bai suddenly bent his waist and leaned in front of Xia Xiaoqing's face. He stared into her panicked eyes as he sternly said.
