Chapter 282 It’s not that simple
Chapter 282 is not that simple.
Upon seeing Li Chenxu approach, Mu Xiaoyu's mother smiled slightly at him, but then couldn't help asking, "How is Xiaoyu now?"
"Don't worry, Auntie, Xiaoyu is fine now. She's already asleep, that's why I came over."
Li Chenxu's words relieved Mu Xiaoyu's mother slightly. She patted the bedside, signaling Li Chenxu to come over.
She only breathed a sigh of relief when Li Chenxu walked over and sat down by the bedside.
"You've really suffered all these years. If it weren't for me, you and Xiaoyu wouldn't have had to endure so much."
Actually, when Li Chenxu suddenly approached her a few years ago and said he wanted to marry Mu Xiaoyu, she found it absurd. Firstly, because Li Chenxu was much older than Mu Xiaoyu, and secondly, because at the time, she didn't even know the two of them, and she would never agree to him suddenly saying he wanted to marry Mu Xiaoyu.
Even though she rejected Li Chenxu at that time, Li Chenxu did not give up and continued to try to persuade her.
After all these years, she is truly grateful that, after so many twists and turns, Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu finally got together.
She was never a good mother, but fortunately, her children were loved by others.
Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu's mother have known each other for so many years. In addition, during the years that Li Chenxu and Mu Xiaoyu have been married, he has visited her frequently every year. So the two of them have long been like an ordinary mother and son.
After what had just happened, the two of them tacitly avoided discussing the incident further. Instead, they talked about their own recent experiences until dawn broke outside, at which point Li Chenxu left.
As soon as Li Chenxu stepped out of the ward, he saw Bai Ye's figure outside.
It's unclear how long Bai Ye had been sitting outside, but when he saw Li Chenxu come out, he didn't immediately notice, his face showing obvious fatigue.
As Mu Xiaoyu's husband, Li Chenxu could never be friends with a man who liked his wife. But from a man's perspective, Li Chenxu had to admit that Bai Ye was a very charming man.
Moreover, this whole affair was largely thanks to Bai Ye's help; otherwise, many things might not have gone so smoothly.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chenxu sat down next to Bai Ye: "How long have you been here?"
The moment Li Chenxu sat down next to Bai Ye, Bai Ye had already noticed Li Chenxu's presence. Hearing this, he glanced at Li Chenxu but didn't immediately answer his question. Instead, he asked, "How is Miss Mu doing?"
Bai Ye understood that Mu Xiaoyu was deliberately distancing herself from him. He was a very smart man, so he couldn't just go to Mu Xiaoyu directly, lest he cause her to become even more distant from him.
"Bai Ye, everyone else calls Xiaoyu Mrs. Li, but you're calling her Miss Mu now. Is that appropriate?"
Li Chenxu's tone was indifferent, but his words carried no less authority. If it were anyone else, they might have been swayed by his manner. Unfortunately, Bai Ye and Li Chenxu were evenly matched, and Bai Ye wasn't afraid of Li Chenxu's current attitude.
He even chuckled dismissively upon hearing this, but he didn't argue with Li Chenxu over such a trivial matter.
"How do you plan to handle Mu Pengzheng's matter? I always feel that this matter is not so simple. Mu Pengzheng's release was too smooth back then. We don't have enough evidence yet to prove whether the Ge family is the person he is relying on. Before that, Mu Pengzheng cannot be convicted."
When the conversation turned to serious matters, Li Chenxu's expression became much more serious. Recalling the events of the past few months, even he couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted.
Bai Ye is right; Mu Pengzheng wasn't the only one involved in this. Now that Mu Pengzheng has been caught, what's more important for them is the person behind him who helped him.
There are not many 'philanthropists' in this world who act without a reason. If they didn't have some ulterior motive, they wouldn't go to such lengths to help Mu Pengzheng.
Therefore, they still cannot let their guard down until they have thoroughly investigated the person behind Mu Pengzheng.
"Has Mu Pengzheng said anything?"
After a long silence, Li Chenxu finally asked, "Back then, I couldn't get away from Mu Xiaoyu and her mother, so Bai Ye was in charge of everything after Mu Pengzheng was captured."
Five or six hours have passed, and Bai Ye's men must have interrogated Mu Pengzheng after capturing him.
Given this much time, if Mu Peng were willing to speak, Bai Ye and his team would have some clues.
However, upon hearing Li Chenxu's words, Bai Ye shook his head.
"Mu Pengzheng won't say anything, so finding out who's behind him won't be easy."
As Bai Ye was speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Li Chenxu, asking, "Weren't you investigating the Ge family before? Mu Pengzheng had the closest contact with the Ge family before, did you find anything?"
"No, their operations are too secretive. Even now, even though they have solid evidence that 'Li Zhe' is Mu Pengzheng, there is no concrete evidence that he has any shady dealings with the Ge family."
From the moment Mu Pengzheng was captured, Bai Ye's team also captured Liang Fei and Liang Qiao, the two people who had the most direct contact with Mu Pengzheng.
However, as if by prior agreement, none of them spoke of these matters. Almost a day has passed, but they still have no clue whatsoever.
Li Chenxu and the others had long known that things wouldn't be that easy, but upon learning the result, they couldn't help but feel somewhat down.
The two fell silent, neither speaking, neither in a good mood.
Especially for Li Chenxu, because of Mu Pengzheng's actions, his family and the woman he loves most have suffered a lot. If this matter is not resolved quickly, Li Chenxu will not be able to rest easy.
The case involving Mu Pengzheng was not originally Bai Ye's responsibility, but the Bai family used some methods, so now the case is under Bai Ye's jurisdiction.
With Mu Pengzheng captured and various interrogations underway, and many other matters awaiting Bai Ye, he did not linger.
After a moment of silence, he got up and said goodbye to Li Chenxu.
“We will do our best to investigate Mu Pengzheng’s matter. We will investigate the clues that are on the surface and the people who are involved in this matter. But some things… can only be done by you, Li Chenxu. I know you have found out a lot. I understand why you didn’t want to say it before, but things have come to this point. If you don’t tell us now, it will be more than just Miss Mu who will be affected.”
