Chapter 312 Take care of yourself
Bai Ye's tone was not good at this moment. Two equally matched men were clashing, and now Bai Ye was speaking in such a tone. It would be strange if Li Chenxu could still give Bai Ye a good look.
Immediately, Li Chenxu's expression darkened.
He squinted, looking at Bai Ye dangerously, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Ye didn't immediately answer Li Chenxu's question, but chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten my surname? My Bai family has served in the military and politics for generations, and everything we've done has always been upright and honorable. I admit that I initially participated in this investigation for Bai Luo and Miss Mu, but now it's only for the sake of having a clear conscience and following my instincts. Even if the old man in my family finds out about this, he will only support me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu raised an eyebrow at Bai Ye, and finally laughed. It was clear that Li Chenxu felt much more relaxed after hearing Bai Ye's explanation.
He subtly sized up Bai Ye, then nodded and said, "In that case, I was being petty and judging you by my own standards. Since Mr. Bai is continuing to participate in this investigation for this reason, then I will not stop you. However, I would like to ask Mr. Bai to take care of his own safety and that of the Bai family. Otherwise, if something really happens, I may be fine, but I will have a hard time explaining it to Xiao Yu."
Bai Ye didn't say anything, but just gave Li Chenxu a mocking look before turning around and leaving the office.
Despite being treated this way by Bai Ye, Li Chenxu wasn't angry. He just watched Bai Ye's departing figure with a smile on his face.
Perhaps in Mu Xiaoyu's eyes, Li Chenxu was a responsible and loving husband and man. In the eyes of the Li family, Li Chenxu was their pillar of support.
But in the eyes of others, Li Chenxu is hardly a good person.
He only cares about the people he cares about, so at other times, he's naturally a bad person. To be fair, if he had been afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would blame herself, he wouldn't have cared whether Bai Ye would be affected by this incident.
Now that Bai Ye himself has said so, Li Chenxu naturally doesn't care. More importantly, with Bai Ye's help, many things will be much simpler.
In that case, how could he possibly be angry with Bai Ye? He'd be overjoyed.
After Bai Ye left, Li Chenxu didn't linger and immediately read through the documents Bai Ye had brought over carefully.
The man who met Mu Pengzheng was named Li Shuo, and he was a prison guard. A few days after Mu Pengzheng's release, he was involved in a serious car accident and died on the spot.
Li Shuo's family is simple, consisting of only an elderly grandmother and a younger sister who is ten years younger than him and is still a minor.
Li Shuo's two relatives disappeared after he was in a car accident.
They weren't from Beijing, and they didn't have any relatives there, so no one reported them missing, and naturally, no one paid any attention to it.
The investigation report Bai Ye sent has thoroughly investigated Li Shuo's activities in the capital. As for the remaining matters, those will need to be investigated by Li Chenxu.
After reading this information, Li Chenxu breathed a sigh of relief.
What they fear most now is having nowhere to start investigating. The fact that there is still something to investigate means that the hope is greater.
Without delay, Li Chenxu immediately called Lin Zhu in, explained the matter to him in detail, and then ordered someone to investigate the matter.
After finishing these matters, Li Chenxu immediately went to the police station.
When Bai Ye came over just now, he also passed on a message to Li Chenxu, saying that he wanted to see him.
At this moment, Mu Pengzheng wanted to see Li Chenxu, which didn't surprise Li Chenxu. He already had a general idea of the conversation between Mu Pengzheng and Mu Xiaoyu's mother yesterday. If Mu Pengzheng had truly agreed to Mu Xiaoyu's mother's demands, then his wanting to see Li Chenxu now wasn't surprising.
However, just to be on the safe side, Li Chenxu did not tell Mu Xiaoyu about his trip to see Mu Pengzheng.
It's not too late to tell Mu Xiaoyu after everything is settled.
Because of the time constraints, it was already close to evening when Li Chenxu arrived at the police station. Furthermore, with the days being short and the nights long, it was completely dark outside when he left the company.
Normally, if Li Chenxu didn't have any social engagements at this time, he would have already gone home. Even if he didn't, he would call Mu Xiaoyu to let her know he was safe. However, today, because of the news brought by Bai Ye, coupled with the backlog of work at the company and the business he had with the government last time, everything came together.
Li Chenxu had to meet Mu Pengzheng later, so he forgot about it for a moment. He had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Mu Xiaoyu.
"Brother Chenxu, where are you now?"
Mu Xiaoyu had been waiting for Li Chenxu for a long time but he hadn't come back. She was starving, and when she called Li Chenxu, her voice was weak and listless.
When Li Chenxu received Mu Xiaoyu's call, he suddenly realized how late it was.
Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's weak voice on the other end of the phone, which sounded a little weak because she was hungry, he felt extremely sorry for her. If it weren't for the fact that he had to rush to the police station to see Mu Pengzheng, he would have wanted to go back and be with Mu Xiaoyu immediately.
However, business was more important, so Li Chenxu suppressed his heartache and explained to Mu Xiaoyu, "There's just too much going on at the company today. I have to meet with a business partner right now, so I probably won't be able to come home for dinner tonight. It's my fault for not telling you in advance."
"Alright, why apologize? It's normal to forget things when you're too busy."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to hear Li Chenxu's apology. The two were husband and wife, the closest of relationships. If he was still being polite like an outsider, what would that mean?
"But even if you're busy, remember to eat when you have time. Your stomach isn't good to begin with, and you haven't been taking good care of it lately. You might upset it again if you don't feed it properly."
All he could hear was Mu Xiaoyu's incessant nagging and instructions. Li Chenxu listened patiently without showing the slightest impatience, and the smile on his lips didn't fade until Mu Xiaoyu hung up the phone.
Lin Zhu was sitting in front. When he saw Li Chenxu hang up the phone, he remembered Mu Xiaoyu's instructions to him and couldn't help but turn to ask Li Chenxu, "Sir, shall we find a place to have dinner first?"
"Just buy some food to fill your stomach; you don't need to go to a restaurant."
Time is of the essence. Meeting Mu Pengzheng might take even longer, and going to the restaurant would be too much of a waste of time.
