Chapter 916: Final Chapter Before Death (3)

“Why would Mu Xichen help you?” Li Meng sneered. “This man remembers how you almost killed Li Beinian. You might not know this, but some time ago, he came to me, asking if I’d testify against you for the murder attempt on Li Beinian.”

Lin Kerou’s face turned pale, but she regained her composure very quickly. She said firmly, “It’s all in the past now. If Mu Xichen and Li Beinian bear a grudge against me still, it’s alright. There will be ample opportunities for them to get back at me. But now, I wish to collaborate with Mu Xichen on an urgent matter. Meng Meng, I know I had let you down in the past. I had done many foolish things in the past, but I’ve turned over a new leaf now. I just want to spend the rest of my days doing a good job of bringing up Brother Donglin’s only child. Meng Meng, I’ve let you down. I have no other way out. I want to make it up to you before it’s too late.”

“Make it up to me?”

“I could have called Mu Xichen and Li Beinian directly. I could have even gone to the Mo family or their company. There are many ways for me to approach them, but I’ve come to you. Do you know why?”

Li Meng had the same question in her mind, but she had no answer to this.

“Because it’s only through you that his guard will be lowered. Meng Meng, I hate Lin Ya. I want to take him down.”

Li Meng was stunned and asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”

Lin Kerou said, “I want to take him down. Meng Meng, you will help me, right?”

Li Meng was silent for a long time before she slowly said, “I’ll help you convey this to him.”

“I can’t negotiate with him directly. Meng Meng, I can only do it through you. Meng Meng, this matter isn’t just to help me. It’s also a chance for you.”

Lin Kerou’s words were full of promise and very convincing.

Li Meng wavered. She understood the implications.

It was also because she understood that she was tempted.

It may seem as though Lin Ya was doing all this as an act of self defense, however, those who knew him well would be able to see that the man wasn’t merely protecting himself, he was clearly going for the kill!

Yes, his present target was Mu Donglin, but Mu Donglin was a member of the Mu Family.

Mu Donglin’s downfall would mean that Mu Xichen would become the successor of the Mu Family. It would also mean that Mu Xichen had to bear responsibility for all matters, good and bad, relating to the Mu family.

On the other hand, there were many scandals between the Mu and Lin families. Once this matter was exposed, it would be a disaster for Lin Ya.

Although Mu Xichen was safe and sound now, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t be Lin Ya’s next target.

Now that Lin Ya was busy dealing with Mu Donglin and wasn’t watching his own back, it would be the opportune time to catch him off guard…

And if Lin Ya fell, Mu Xichen wouldn’t be the only one who would benefit. The entire Li Family would benefit as well.

Mu Xichen and the Li Family could be considered in-laws. Although they weren’t on good terms, Old Master Li was a bridge between them.

It was because of Old Master Li that Mu Xichen and Li Beinian had never thought of severing ties with the Li Family.

As a result, Li Beinian’s biological father also took good care of the Li family, which, to the Li family, was a great benefit.

Seeing how the Li family’s situation was improving, Li Meng naturally wanted them to continue flourishing.

That being the case, they would have to get onto Mu Xichen’s boat, and now was a rare opportunity.
