His shoulders were broad and she could feel the warmth of his body through his palm. It gave her a sense of reality and closeness.
It had been a long time since they were intimate, and he couldn’t suppress that surging desire.
However, his rationality got the better of him. He released her and gazed down at her.
Li Beinian’s eyes were red and watery, making her look especially pitiful.
It tugged at his heartstrings. He leaned over unconsciously and whispered, “It’ll be fine, I promise.”
Li Beinian clung to him and looked at him with her tender and moist eyes. “Tell me what you’re going to do next and let me be mentally prepared, alright? Otherwise, I’d be left hanging every day and my hair will all fall out!”
“What happened yesterday was too sudden. I didn’t expect them to attack in that sort of place.” Mu Xichen’s voice was low. “Soon, give me a little more time.”
“What are you planning to do?” Li Beinian looked at him with a worried expression and deep distrust. “Do you know who’s backing P.I.T.? They must have powerful backing to dare to do this in Xia Nation. Do you know who that person is? It’s Lin Ya! The mayor of Guang City!”
Mu Xichen frowned in surprise to hear this from her.
Immediately, Li Beinian knew that he was definitely aware.
She continued, “They have too many connections. What do you plan to do?”
Mu Xichen shook his head slightly. “I have my own plans, don’t get involved.”
The only way to be absolutely safe was to know nothing.
Li Beinian understood this too. After a moment of silence, she said, “I think I know their base. They have a few warehouses in Siem Reap and Pattaya, and within Xia nation as well.”
Mu Xichen glanced sideways.
Li Beinian looked at him and said, “You know, I often dream about strange things.”
“This was in your dream too?”
Li Beinian nodded. “I also dreamed that Gu Mingye was arrested and you were threatened by them. They asked you to help them escort a person through customs. Later on, that person was arrested in Boston and they suffered heavy losses. Lin Ya was suspended for investigation, but in the end, they found no evidence. In less than two months, he was reinstated. As for you… your reputation worsened.”
Li Beinian did not know much about this part of the story.
Her memories on it were fragmented and did not come together.
However, whatever she could recall, she remembered very clearly.
At some point in time, rumors started to spread that Mu Xichen coveted the mayor’s position and wanted to oust him from the position so that another person could be nominated, and that was why there was a false accusation.
Lin Ya, on the other hand, was magnanimous. He treated Mu Xichen kindly and did not pursue the matter.
This matter had blown up at the time. As for the matter of Gu Mingye being arrested and Mu Xichen being threatened, Li Beinian only found out about it after she overheard the conversation between Lin Kerou and Mu Donglin.
However, at that time, she had no memory of who they were talking about and how it was associated with her.
Thinking back now, every detail was terrifying!
When Mu Xichen heard Li Beinian’s words, his eyes flashed. “Was this a dream?”
Li Beinian nodded.
Mu Xichen fell silent in response.
This so-called “dream” was too bizarre!
However, Li Beinian’s “dreams” had always been accurate to reality.
How could it be such a coincidence?
