Luxury villa by the sea.

"Can you wait for me here?" Lin Mu specially reminded the person who brought him here when he went to the bathroom.

"Yes." The man groaned.

Afterwards, Lin Mu entered the bathroom. When he came out again, there was still a trace of undried water droplets on his face.

"Find a little quieter place, I want to talk to you about some things." Lin Mu looked at the person in front of him.

"Go to my room."

"Can."

In less than a minute, the two arrived at the room.

"Jian." Lin Mu called the man's name.

"Just say anything, as long as it is for Mu Xi's good things, I will listen to you seriously." The person who led Lin Mu to the bathroom was Jian Ge, and he was also the person Lin Mu really wanted to meet when he came to the villa this time.

"Well, then I'll just say it. Jian Zhi, I hope you can report the case." Lin Mu sat aside and said to Jian Zhi a little serious, his attitude was completely different from before.

"Reporting a case? What does it mean?"

"Didn't that woman kill all the people in your village? If this is the only thing you can report the case, then Demiyao will pay the price she should bear."

"But I have no evidence to prove that the woman killed the whole village, not to mention that if I really did that, I would definitely involve Mu Xi."

"How come there is no evidence? There are also personal evidence. As for physical evidence... you don't have to worry. As long as you report the case, I will handle everything. There are many ways to kill people and pay for their lives. If the final result is the same, why don't we choose a safer and more beneficial way for ourselves? What do you think?"

"What about Muxi? What should I do?"

"You know in your heart that Xia Muxi is determined to kill that woman with her own hands, but what afterwards? Do you want Muxi's hands to be infected with human life?"

"Of course I don't want to. I just hope Muxi can live happily, just as simple as before."

"But you can imagine that if you report the case and the evidence is sufficient, the dozens of innocent lives in your village naturally need to be repaid by the woman with her own life. After the law sentences her to death, after the woman dies, Xia Muxi can only accept reality. After all, even Xia Muxi cannot refute the law."

"But is it really OK to do this? Muxi will definitely be angry, she will definitely not agree. If she hadn't sent the woman to hell with her own hands, then Muxi would not have let her go."

"When time slowly dissipates, the knot in Xia Muxi's heart will naturally be untied. After all, that woman is dead. Even though Xia Muxi still has anger in her heart, she can only admit it. Just listen to it. Only by doing this can you truly save Xia Muxi."

"Do you want me to betray Muxi?"

"How can this be said to be betrayal? You are helping her, saving her, and freeing her. Of course, if you still want to watch Natsuki continue to suffer in this pain, then you can choose to continue to support Natsuki's extreme thoughts."

"Muxi wouldn't want others to meddle in other people's business, especially about that woman."

"So I'm just telling you my thoughts today. You have to know that the reason why I say this to you is all about Natsuki. However, I still have to say sorry to you. After all, it is cruel to you to bring up the past again, and I'm sorry."

Jian just didn't say anything, he was just thinking about what Lin Mu just said.

"So, I will give you time to consider. After all, for you, this choice seems simple, but it is very complicated. If you think about it well, you can come to me at any time."

"Um."

"There is one thing you must remember. The method I said is the safest, and it can completely put everything on a rest. The pain will be reduced. At least, those bloody things will not be affected by anyone anymore."

"Is this the only thing I can do?"

"Well, only you can do this, no one else can."

The beach outside the villa.

Li Guo sat alone in silence. Although it didn't snow after that day, because the weather was always gloomy, the snow in many places had not completely melted.

The snowmen that Jian and the others had built before were still in general, and the melted parts were only a very small part. At least after seeing them, the first reaction would be to think that these somewhat incomplete guys were snowmen.

The sea surface today is also very calm.

Li Guo looked at the distance quietly, thinking that the place where Mu Xi lived was really beautiful. If everyone could sit here together and chat and laugh with each other, that would be great.

"Didn't you let you walk around? Why are you sitting foolishly by the beach? Isn't it cold?" Lin Mu's voice sounded behind him.

"This place can calm me down for the time being, but why did you go to the bathroom for so long?"

"Do you want to go back?" Lin Mu sat next to Liguo.

"Just decide."

"Go back, it's not a solution to stay here. If you want to come in the future, then come here directly, and no one here dares to stop you."

Although Lin Mu is not sure whether the purpose of this trip has been achieved, he has done everything he should do, so there is no need for him to continue to stay here and waste his time.

However, if Xia Muxi knew what he had done just now, the world would be in chaos again. After all, Xia Muxi had warned him that cooperation could be done, but he would never touch the people around her. As a result, he had violated the "rules" not long after he finished speaking.

"Okay, then let's go in and talk to Muxi."

"Don't deliberately tell Xia Muxi that someone will take us to convey it to her after we leave."

"This is not good, how can I let others convey it on my behalf?"

"You just saw Xia Muxi's haggard face. Now she must go to rest. If you go to see her, it will only disturb her. Haven't I told you all? You and Xia Muxi just treat each other as usual. Don't be unfamiliar because of today's affairs, and don't have any barriers in your heart."

"Don't worry, no. But what you said makes sense, so let's not argue with Mu Xi, just leave quietly."

"Well, let's go." Lin Mu got up first, then reached out his hand to Liguo.

Li Guo also put her hand in Lin Mu's big hand very naturally. Lin Mu just pulled her up, and then the two of them walked towards the car parked not far away with their hands.

"How did those two men do later?"

"They are quite rational. After seeing you running far away, they stopped stumbling with me, and then they let me in."

"I thought you beat them to the point of bruising and swollen eyes. They are worthy of being the people around Mu Xi. They are indeed very qualified."

"Yes, it's completely different from ordinary bodyguards, because their starting point is just for the good of Natsuki from beginning to end. They won't do anything bad, but if it's something that's good for Natsuki, they will choose to turn a blind eye appropriately. Just..."

"Just what?"

"But if they can't perform their duties well, even if what they do is really a good thing, they will get their own punishment."

"Do you go and receive the punishment? It doesn't matter, because Mu Xi will definitely not punish them."

"That's right, it's just that you're alone in your face. Xia Muxi will not punish those who think about her, not to mention that your face is not as great as it is."

"Lin Mu, do you really think I can come here anytime in the future?"

"Really, if you don't believe it, you can come and verify it tomorrow."

"Well, I'll definitely come here tomorrow."

Shortly after Lin Mu and Liguo left, Zi Sheng was about to find Xia Muxi. Because everything about Huofeng had been arranged, now you just need to set off directly from the villa.

However, a small episode appeared.

Zi Sheng, who was walking towards Xia Muxi's room, saw two people wandering outside Xia Muxi's door not far away, and these two were the men in black uniforms who had just stopped Lin Mu and Liguo.

"Is there anything wrong with you looking for a lady?" Zi Sheng walked to the two people.

"We are here to find the lady to receive the punishment," said one of the men.

"Receive the punishment?" Zi Sheng frowned slightly, "You guys come with me first." Then he called the two men to another place.

In the adjacent room, Zi Sheng looked at the two men.

"Did you make any mistakes?" Zi Sheng asked.

"We were dereliction of duty. The lady originally did not see the two people who came just now, but we still put them in, so we came here to receive the punishment."

"So this is the case. I thought you made some serious mistakes." Zi Sheng smiled on her face, "Okay, let's forget about what happened today, I'll make the decision for the lady, just go back to your original position."

"But···"

"It's okay, don't have any burden in your heart. In fact, you handled the matter today very well, so I believe the lady will not blame you. After all, the two people who came just now are the friends the lady values ​​most, and the other has known her for many years."

The two men just lowered their heads silently, without saying anything, and without looking at Zi Sheng directly.

"But if it were someone else today, then you have to do your best and not let irrelevant people break in. What I mean is to do your best, which means you have lost your life."

"Yes! We will swear to protect the lady!" The two men spoke in unison!

"That's the worst plan. Each of us is the ones that the lady cherishes. She will not want any of us to have something to do. So, while fulfilling our own duties, you must also protect yourself. Do you know?"

"We understand..."
