Chapter 1159: It Turns Out That He was a Fool Through and Through III

Therefore, Mu Qi was actually sought out by Jiu Ming.

It was actually merely a coincidence that this had happened. Initially, Jiu Ming had just wanted to check how many enemies the Mu family had, but he never thought that his checking would lead to the matter involving Mu Qi back then.

Furthermore, Jiu Ming did not believe that Chen Qingyan would save Mu Ling at the expense of her own life.

Hence, he looked for Mu Qi and found out the truth of what had happened back then.

He wanted to give Feng Ruqing peace of mind upon her return. That was why he had dragged Mu Qi before Mu Ling to disclose the truth of what had happened back then.

Mu Qi did not conjure a single sentence of falsehood. Contrarily, each and every word was true. Even if Mu Ling went to seek out the truth personally, he would still come to find the same conclusion.

In the inn.

Hai Rong was holding a manual and a shallow smile hung on his old face.

The door was swung open with a bang. Hai Rong turned his head in annoyance and saw a middle-aged man rushing in from outside.

The man’s forehead was covered in sweat and he looked ragged. His handsome face was pale, and his eyes looked agitated.

“Why are you here?”

Hai Rong’s face sank as he asked Mu Ling in a stern tone.

Mu Ling clenched his fists tightly. His feet were trembling with every step he took, yet he stood before Hai Rong with determination.

“What were you doing twenty years ago?”

Hai Rong was speechless.

‘Did this guy become stupid because he had too much of a shock?’

“How is what I have done twenty years ago related to you? Get out. You are not welcomed here. Don’t force my hand!”

Mu Ling suppressed the chaos in his heart and raised his pale but handsome face to look at Hai Rong before asking again. “Twenty years ago, did… Suyi go to see you alone?”

Hai Rong was stunned.

Mu Ling was with Suyi every time she came to see him.

If they were to talk about the time she came to see him alone… It was only that one time…

No, no. Back then, it was not Suyi who had come to him. It was obviously he who had brought Suyi back.

“Suyi never came to see me alone,” Hai Rong said expressionlessly.

Mu Ling’s heart was secretly relieved. He knew that Mu Qi must have been lying to him. How could Qingyan be such a vicious person?

Mu Qi must have hated Mu family down to his bones. That was why he would conjure such a rumor in front of him.

“However…” Hai Rong sneered, “I remember that Suyi once clearly said that she would come to see me with you. I waited for a long time but all of you never arrived. After that, I personally went down the mountain. About 500 meters away, I saw Suyi covered in blood!

“After Suyi woke up, I had intended to seek you out to settle accounts. You had clearly agreed to come together, so why did you leave her alone? However, Suyi would not let me go to you. She said you had followed your cousin sister home first, and thus was not with her. Even till the end, she was still making up excuses for you! I had really thought that you two were brothers and sisters. If I knew that you were husband and wife, I would have rushed over to you to settle accounts!

“You are a man. No matter what had happened, you should not have left her, a woman, alone outside. Furthermore, she was so severely injured! If it was not because I had picked her up and brought her back, she would not even have been able to keep her life! The cousin sister she mentioned back then… it should be Chen Qingyan, right?”

The corner of Hai Rong’s mouth arced into a sneer and his voice turned cold. “You argued with her over Chen Qingyan and ended up leaving her outside alone. Now, what rights do you have to meet her? This is not even mentioning all the things you have done after that!”

Until the end, Hai Rong had thought that they were just arguing during their journey to look for him and Mu Ling had ended up leaving Suyi alone outside, causing her to get into danger.
