It was really hard for Lin Xi to imagine that the man in front of him with messy hair and large scars on his face was actually the original body's father, Duan Pingchuan.

The snow-covered short mountain was very quiet, except for a few straight security guards standing in the snow not far away, there were no outsiders.

While Lin Xi was shocked, Duan Pingchuan also remained silent.

He seemed to be waiting for Lin Xi to take the initiative to speak, but in fact, Lin Xi really didn't know what to say to this "father" who had disappeared for many years and then suddenly appeared.

According to the timeline of the original text, the original body should still be torturing Chu Muqing in different ways?

After a long silence, Duan Pingchuan spoke slowly. Facing this daughter, there was no kindness in his eyes, but he spoke to her indifferently: "I found out that you have nothing to do with what happened that year. Remember, don't you?"

Duan Pingchuan's words made Lin Xi pause for a moment. As expected, he only appeared in front of her after investigating her.

Maybe Duan Qinglang took the initiative to go to her company and asked her to come here to meet, it was premeditated.

It was only because Duan Pingchuan wanted to see her that he let her come to Duan Qinglang's private estate in the name of cooperation.

After mother Lin got the news that Duan Pingchuan appeared in the capital, she specially reminded her that she must pay attention to protecting herself, and said that Duan Pingchuan would hurt her.

Lin Xi thought of this, his face remained calm, but out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at the road he had come from.

If Duan Pingchuan wants to do something to her, she must find a way to escape from here.

"Then I'll tell you what happened back then." Duan Pingchuan looked at her and asked, "Did you just forget what happened back then, or did you forget everything that happened in the past after that incident?"

Duan Pingchuan's gaze made her feel terrified. As soon as Lin Xi looked at him, she would feel that under his calm eyes, it was like a wild beast that could get angry at any time, spying on her every move.

Lin Xi looked at him, looked at him as calmly as possible, and answered frankly: "I don't even remember."

Duan Pingchuan's eyes were still cold, but he sneered: "Including me, you have forgotten everything, haven't you?"

Lin Xi clenched his fists, unable to figure out his attitude, paused, and then said slowly: "Sorry, I'm sick, so I have no memory, and that's why I didn't recognize you."

Duan Pingchuan seemed very satisfied with her answer, and didn't ask any more questions, and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll tell you from the beginning."

Lin Xi responded: "Okay, tell me."

"Your mother, Rong Wenning, and I met in a so-called hero rescue. At that time, your mother and I were still young. I dropped out of school early to work as an apprentice in a car repair shop in Dongguan County. Later, the boss offended someone. , died, he is a foreigner, and my surname is not Guan, before he died, he left the garage to me, who also has a foreign surname."

When Duan Pingchuan said this, his eyes looking into the distance once again fell on her face.

Lin Xi nodded lightly, indicating that he was listening, and asked, "And then?"

"But even if I have a car repair shop, I am still a poor boy in an ordinary county. Dongguan County was still a poor county back then, but it is different now. After all, there is such a well-known big shot."

Well-known bigwigs?

Lin Xi thought for a while, and realized that the big man he was talking about was the current Xuanzang Guan.

"You have to know, I'm a poor person, a poor person in my bones. If I want to climb up, what I lack is neither ability nor hard work, but opportunities and connections." Speaking of this, Duan Pingchuan's tone became a little cold Her breathing became short because of her indignation: "Based on this, when your mother appeared in that small county town, I tried every means to get people to harass her, and then I appeared just right."

Lin Xi frowned, Duan Pingchuan planned a long-planned perfect encounter, the poor boy saved Bai Fumei.

"I helped her get rid of those little bastards who harassed her, and the next thing was a matter of course. After learning that she was going to stay in Dongguan County for a month, it only took me a month to make her fall in love with me. .”

"Your mother has such a father. As long as I become his son-in-law, no matter whether I continue to engage in business or politics, I will undoubtedly be even more powerful. With my ability, once I have the opportunity, I will no longer be an inferior person."

"So I spent a month trying to make her fall in love with me, but I was strongly opposed by your grandfather." Duan Pingchuan coughed violently when he said this, and after a burst of intense coughing, his voice became even stronger Hoarse: "I originally thought that after she was brought back to the capital by your grandfather, with her temperament, she would definitely try her best to win over her family."

"But I never thought that she would suddenly escape from the capital city to Shanhe Province one night alone, and came to Dongguan County to look for me on a train alone."

"She said she was willing to give up everything for me, and was willing to live a hard life with me." Duan Pingchuan sneered, and looked at Lin Xi: "Tell me, is she stupid?"

Lin Xi didn't know how to answer. From God's point of view, Lin's mother's behavior was really stupid. To the man in front of her, she was just a tool for him to climb up.

But... Once she stood in the position of Lin's mother, she gave up her original wealth and everything she originally had for a man she really liked in her youthful budding period.

great.

"Did you reject her?" Lin Xi asked.

"Of course not." Duan Pingchuan replied: "What I thought at the time was that your grandfather loves her so much, if I marry her, sooner or later, he will recognize me."

"However, what I didn't expect was that your grandfather still didn't nod until she and I gave birth to you. During that period, he and your mother severed the father-daughter relationship, but people came to me from time to time. My business It's getting worse and worse, and I know this has nothing to do with your grandfather." Duan Pingchuan squinted his eyes to hide the unhappiness in his eyes: "The poor and lowly couples are sad, and your mother and I tortured each other, and I resented her father's viciousness." , Forced me to a dead end, she blamed me for drinking all day long, no longer like her, and no intention to take care of the business, if it weren't for you, we would have divorced long ago and have nothing to do with each other."

Lin Xi couldn't help looking at Duan Pingchuan when he heard the past, "You and mother, didn't you think about leaving at that time? Leaving Dongguan County, going to live in another place, hiding your names, maybe grandpa won't be able to find you? "

"Why did I leave?" Duan Pingchuan looked at Lin Xi, and couldn't help but angrily said, "I didn't do anything wrong? It was your mother who gave me hope to reach the sky in one step, and in the end, because of your grandfather, I was completely reborn. Is it my fault that I fell to the bottom and became that inferior person with nothing again?"

Lin Xi pursed her lower lip, even if she didn't agree with his idea, she didn't dare to provoke him.

"What happened later? Why did you and my mother divorce?" Lin Xi asked.

"She mentioned divorce many times. I know she wants to get rid of me, but your grandfather has hurt me so far and forced me to a desperate situation. Why should I let his daughter go?" Duan Pingchuan smiled wryly: "Maybe your grandfather did it on purpose. He deliberately made things difficult for me and forced me to let her go, but the more he behaves, the more I don't like him, I want to keep his daughter and let her suffer with me."

Lin Xi finally couldn't help but said, "Why bother? Mother is innocent."

"Innocent?" Duan Pingchuan looked at her and nodded: "You can also say that, she is innocent, but the father's debt is paid by the daughter, isn't it true?"

Lin Xi shook his head: "Mother really liked you back then, if it wasn't because she liked you, she wouldn't be with you regardless."

"That's her own stupidity! What are you trying to argue with me?" Duan Pingchuan looked at her coldly: "Why do you not look like me at all after you forget everything? Have a soft heart and speak for outsiders?"

Lin Xi lowered his eyebrows: "Mother is not an outsider."

Duan Pingchuan didn't continue to dwell on these things, and continued: "I divorced her because your grandfather had someone set me up. At that time, my family was empty and you were young. If you had no money, you would starve to death."

Lin Xi said softly: "Yes."

Duan Pingchuan paused, and then said: "A fellow villager came to me and said that there would be a truck from the province passing by. The goods delivered by that truck were worthless, but the money for your milk powder was enough. Even if you were caught , I won’t be sentenced to many years in prison. I robbed the car very smoothly, the driver just abandoned the car and fled, and I didn’t even have time to take out the knife, he scared away.”

"However, I never expected that the police arrived at the same time, and there was only one box in that truck, which contained hundreds of thousands of jewels."

Lin Xi frowned: "Hundreds of thousands?"

"Yes, hundreds of thousands." Duan Pingchuan laughed: "Your grandfather wanted to imprison me, and I fell into the trap."

Lin Xi thought of Mr. Rong, he was a very upright person, not likely to be able to do such a thing.

"Are you sure, grandpa did this?"

Duan Pingchuan said coldly: "Aside from him, who else would hate me so much? Even if it wasn't him, it was the people below him who wanted to flatter him! Is there any difference between this and what he did?"

Lin Xi let out a breath, the matter has come to this point, it is really hard to tell who is right.

"I'm in prison. In order for you to live a good life, I can only choose to divorce." Duan Pingchuan looked at her, and finally there was a bit of father's love in his eyes: "Only when you and her return to Rong's house, can you be safe." Growing up, even without my father, I didn't dare to come to you again until I was released from prison and made a comeback."

Lin Xi was silent for a while, then asked again: "Then you took me away later, what happened then? Why did I get hurt?"

Duan Pingchuan frowned: "I know, I will never be able to get you back from your mother, so after I was released from prison, I made enough money and someone took you away and brought you back to Dongguan County, ready to take you abroad together."

"I... agree?" Lin Xi asked.

With Yuanzhen's character, there was no reason why he would agree.

"You agreed, and being divorced by Chu Muyun made you a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone. You said you wanted to escape from the capital, leave with me, and never come back."

Lin Xi frowned: "But Chu Muyun committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Duan Pingchuan sneered.

"Isn't it?"

"I told you, I was the one who gave you this life." Duan Pingchuan said in a deep voice, "In Dongguan County, you were almost burned to death in that fire like Chu Muyun. You saved it."

Lin Xi's pupils shrank suddenly.

He looked at the terrifying scar on Duan Pingchuan's face.

"You were in Dongguan County. When you found out that Chu Muyun was there, you went to meet her behind my back. You wanted to kill her, but when you set fire to it, you were also trapped there."

Lin Xi's whole body turned cold all of a sudden: "I killed Chu Muyun?"

Duan Pingchuan sneered: "When I went in to rescue you, Chu Muyun was still alive, and you all fainted."

Lin Xi looked at him, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Why didn't you rescue her too, why?"

"Save her?" Duan Pingchuan thought for a moment: "You want to kill the woman who eloped with someone to take revenge, why should I stop you? Besides, the fire was too big, I can only bring you out alone."

Lin Xi's mind became extremely chaotic in an instant.

not like this……

It shouldn't be like this...

Duan Pingchuan must be lying, or what he said is not all the truth.

If Lu Jail really had the truth about Chu Muyun's death, she would not have spoken so calmly when meeting her in the coffee shop.

Lu Jail would definitely threaten her.

It must not be like this, how could Yuan body be the murderer?

"Apart from me, was there anyone else present besides me that day?" Lin Xi asked Duan Pingchuan, trying to calm down his emotions.

Duan Pingchuan thought for a while: "It's been too long, I don't remember anyone else showing up, but fortunately, it was because of that fire that you lived safely for so many years, and the police also classified her death as a suicide."

Lin Xi frowned: "Chu Muyun's case has been re-investigated by the Serious Crime Squad."

"Of course I know." Duan Pingchuan looked at her with a smile: "If you are willing to go abroad with me, all my assets will belong to you, which is no different from domestic ones. Moreover, even if one day, the police find out that Chu Muyun died There is nothing you can do about the truth."

Lin Xi didn't speak.

Duan Pingchuan said calmly: "You are my blood, and I have only one child like you. If you die, then my blood will disappear from then on. My estate also needs a capable heir. I am very proud of Your excellence and Engan's success are enough to prove that you are also qualified to be my daughter."

Lin Xi took a deep breath: "Among them..."

Duan Pingchuan interrupted her: "Leave with me, child."

Lin Xi shook his head.

"You don't want to?" Duan Pingchuan looked at her suspiciously, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it because of that woman of yours? You can take her away with you."

Lin Xi calmed down and looked at him calmly: "There are too many doubts in this case, I may not be the murderer."

"So, you refused, did you?" Duan Pingchuan's tone was cold.

Lin Xiping said: "I am very grateful to you, you are still willing to protect me, but I am sorry."

Duan Pingchuan looked at her, his cold eyes resting on her face again.

"If you don't leave with me, then your mother and grandfather are not worthy of my forgiveness." Duan Pingchuan said: "And Lin Zhourong, they snatched you from me, they are my enemies in this life , do you know what kind of consequences this is?"

"What do you mean? Threatening me?" Lin Xi finally couldn't help but said, "Haven't you been able to let go of the resentment you have towards your mother?"

"Why do you change now, not at all the same as before?" Duan Pingchuan looked at her: "It's like a different person."

Duan Pingchuan stretched out his hand to pinch her wrist, and asked forcefully, "Who are you?"

Lin Xi pulled his wrist out of his scarred hand, and looked at him calmly: "You disappeared for so many years during my growing up, how much did you know about me before?"

Duan Pingchuan fell silent, looked at her fixedly, and couldn't help explaining: "I left you in the past, it was all helpless, if it wasn't..."

Lin Xi took a deep breath, and called him: "Dad, I don't want you to take revenge on your mother and grandfather. Now it's not the same as in the past. No matter what you do, you will leave evidence. I really don't want any relatives to have accidents."

Duan Pingchuan stared at her blankly, his expression a little moved: "You...what are you calling me?"

Lin Xi finally felt a little relieved.

It seems that the emotional card is played correctly.

"You are my father, and the blood relationship will never be broken." Lin Xi looked at him and persuaded: "Even if you and my mother divorced, I am still your child, and there is no one who will steal from you." Leave me, you will always be my father."

Lin Xi said some comforting words to him again, and he left Duan Qinglang's private estate in a daze until it was confirmed that Duan Pingchuan would not do anything radical again. Everything was different from what she thought.

She was sitting in the car, feeling dizzy in her mind. Duan Pingchuan told her a lot of information, at least the superficial evidence showed that the original body was the murderer of Chu Muyun.

If the police did not find more evidence, she would most likely be held responsible for this.

The heater in the car was turned up, her cheeks continued to burn, and the pain in her temples made her feel depressed for a while.

Lin Xi pressed the button, and the car window opened slightly, until the cold wind outside the window came in, and her body discomfort finally eased a bit.

The driver drove her to the company, and it took four to ten minutes for the car to drive all the way to the city.

Lin Xi remained silent the whole time, until the driver asked her tentatively: "Miss Lin, you seem to be in a bad mood, what happened?"

Lin Xi didn't want to answer, she didn't have the intention to deal with it at all, but she still smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your concern, but I feel a little uncomfortable."

The driver reminded her to pay attention to the cold weather recently, and Lin Xi thanked her again.

After a while, Lin Xi called Mama Lin.

When Lin's mother picked it up, Lin Xi said directly: "Mom, I saw my father."

Mother Lin's voice trembled instantly: "Xiaoxi, did he do anything to you?"

Lin Xi comforted: "No, he only came to see me because he said he missed me."

"That's good..." Mother Lin's breathing was a little short, and she was a little scared: "It's good that he didn't hurt you."

Lin Xi was silent for a while, and then asked: "When he was imprisoned, did grandpa ask for it?"

Mother Lin asked her suspiciously, "Did he tell you that?"

"He always thought so." Lin Xi said.

"That's not the case." Mother Lin said slowly: "He has always had that kind of character, and he will always be wishful thinking, thinking about everyone with the most malicious thoughts."

Lin Xi paused, and then said: "He finally told me that as long as I have him as a father in my heart, he is willing to let go of the past, even if it was all designed by grandpa, he is willing to let the past go."

Mother Lin sneered: "This really doesn't seem like something he can say."

"So what's going on?" Lin Xi asked.

"When he went to rob a truck, the person who tipped him off wasn't your grandfather's instigation, but someone he had offended. With his supercilious character, he offended so many people. What's the point of others retaliating against him?" Weird."

It turned out to be the case.

All of this was a misunderstanding by Duan Pingchuan.

Because of this misunderstanding, he hated Lin's mother and grandpa for so many years, and he couldn't let it go.

When he was about to arrive at the company, Lin Xi suddenly changed his mind and said to the driver: "Please go to Zhuo Han."

At this time, it was Chu Muqing who she wanted to see.

perhaps……

She should tell Chu Muqing the truth, tell the truth about everything she knows, including that she is not her original body, she is actually from another world.

But, would Chu Muqing believe her?

If she tells the other party that the world you live in is just a book and you are just a character in the book, this is really a particularly unacceptable thing.

Lin Xi suddenly had a terrible headache, and his temples felt like someone was holding a needle and pricking them up one after another.

The sleep problem caused her too much trouble, and those nightmares seemed to be some kind of omen, reminding her all the time that the crisis was approaching.

But no matter what, she had to tell Chu Muqing everything about Chu Muyun.

Lin Xi made up his mind and looked at the time on his watch. It will soon be twelve o'clock. When the driver arrives, it may be just in time for Chu Muqing to go out for lunch.

She remembered that there was a delicious Japanese food shop near Chu Muqing's company, and the private rooms were clean and quiet.

The driver quickly sent her to Zhuohan Building, Lin Xi got out of the car, and in the lobby on the first floor, employees were going downstairs in twos and threes, ready to go out to buy lunch.

The front desk already knew her and greeted her respectfully: "Miss Lin, you are here to see Mr. Chu."

Lin Xi responded: "Excuse me, is she in the office?"

The receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Chu just finished the meeting, so he should be in the conference room now."

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Xi got on the elevator, got out of the elevator familiarly, and walked all the way to the door of the meeting room.

Looking in from the transparent glass window, she was the only one inside. Chu Muqing was sitting on the office chair, with her head lowered, concentrating on sorting out the documents.

Lin Xi knocked on the door three times before pushing the door open and going in.

"Lin Xi?" Chu Muqing was holding a stack of documents in his hand, and looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you here?"

Lin Xi walked up to her, looked down at her, and said with a faint smile, "I miss you, and I just want to come and see you."

Chu Muqing's eyes stayed on her face, looking at her pale face, she frowned and asked her, "Are you feeling well?"

Lin Xi shook his head with a smile: "No, have you finished your work? Let's have dinner together?"

Chu Muqing stood up holding the document: "Yes."

"Chu Muqing," Lin Xi looked at her and looked into her eyes: "I have something to tell you."

Chu Muqing asked, "What?"

"The matter is very complicated." Lin Xi took a deep breath before solemnly saying: "I will tell you everything, even if it is unbelievable, I hope you can believe me."

"Huh?" Chu Muqing thought for a moment, "But I always trust you, no matter what you tell me."

Lin Xi blinked, and his heart suddenly became soft and messed up because of these words.

"Lin Xi." Chu Muqing had a gentle voice, stretched out her arm, and rubbed her cold palm: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Ah..." Lin Xi came to her senses and said to her, "Thank you for telling me that. Didn't you tell me that there is a good Japanese grocery store nearby?"

Chu Muqing stared at her for a while, and smiled on her lips: "Where are you going to tell me? The so-called secret?"

Lin Xi couldn't laugh no matter what: "Yeah."

Chu Muqing let go of her hand, pressed her palm against her cold cheek, and said warmly, "Okay."

It is rare for her to see Lin Xi in such a depressed mood. In her impression, Lin Xi always has clear eyes and a very energetic look. When she sees her, there is always a smile in her eyes, which is a joy that cannot be deceived. The look of the eyebrows and eyes is very contagious.

But at this moment, Lin Xi seemed to be forcing a smile, and Chu Muqing didn't know what happened to her.

After returning to the office and putting away the files that had been sorted out, the two of them went to the nearby Japanese grocery store together.

The service staff took them to the private room. The Japanese-style decoration style is elegant and tidy, which makes people feel relaxed.

Chu Muqing ordered the set meal. While waiting for the meal, Chu Muqing stared at Lin Xi, who was full of worries, and asked softly, "Did you encounter something sad?"

Lin Xi was struggling with how to speak, but the gentle tone of the other party seemed to give her great confidence.

Lin Xi took a deep breath before saying to her, "Chu Muqing, I'm not Lin Xi."

Chu Muqing looked at her suspiciously: "Huh?"

"That's...have you thought about why I'm different from before?" Sensing the doubt in Chu Muqing's eyes, Lin Xi bit the bullet and explained: "That's because I'm not the same person before."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Chu Muqing poured tea and handed her the delicate teacup: "Your lips are a bit dry, drink water first."

Lin Xi: ...

Lin Xi took it over and whispered to her, "Thank you."

She drank the tea in one gulp, and then continued: "Can you understand Duoshe? Or is it, ghost possession?" After she finished speaking, she felt that such a statement was a bit scary, and quickly explained: "Actually, being possessed by a ghost I'm forced, I don't know how I suddenly became her, I don't belong to the world you live in... For example, in your world, holographic games will only appear in the next ten years, But I rely on the memory of the original world to let people realize all kinds of advanced things in advance."

"So, do you understand?"

Seeing that she just looked at him and didn't speak, Lin Xi scratched his head in distress, and then said: "I know this is a bit hard to accept, and it's a bit outrageous... Maybe you might think that I'm deceiving you, and you'll be angry with me for it... ..."

Chu Muqing looked at her quietly: "You are saying that you replaced the original Lin Xi, right?"

Lin Xi thought it was a little funny: "Do you want to be so calm? Actually... Maybe you can act a little more shocked?"

Chu Muqing looked at her for a while, then made a surprised expression, and her tone actually became a little bit heavier: "You actually replaced the original Lin Xi?"

Lin Xi: ...
