His expression darkening further, Mu Donglin lost his temper and hollered. “What’s the meaning of this? If your daughter is missing, go and look for her. What has it got to do with me!”
“Stop pretending!” Father Lin was raving mad now as he turned to Mu Che and said, “Come and look at this good son that you’ve brought up!”
Mother Lin was now crying rivers, becoming unsteady on her feet.
Lin Ya’s expression turned ugly as he tried to support his mother, consoling her. “It’s okay, Mum. Kerou is probably here.”
Wu Meiya looked thoroughly disappointed as she walked up to Mu Donglin. She said with a troubled expression, “Donglin, you…”
Mu Che kept silent, his face taut.
But there was clearly anger and disappointment in his eyes as he looked at his son.
Finally realizing that something wasn’t quite right, Mu Donglin narrowed his eyes.
“Even the video has been published, ptui!” Father Lin threw a tablet down, looking as though he had been spurned. He removed his glasses and cleaned them as he hollered angrily. “Look at it yourself and tell us if we are wrongfully accusing you!”
Having said this, he shouted angrily, “Where is Kerou!”
Mu Donglin clicked on the video without saying a word.
It showed some sort of dark surroundings with limited lighting.
Mu Donglin’s car could be seen. Very soon after, two people appeared on the scene—a man and a woman.
The man was dragging the woman towards the car.
The man appeared to be wearing a similar suit as what Mu Donglin was wearing the night before.
Lin Kerou, on the other hand, was in a light yellow long dress that made her look delicate and gentle.
The girl looked as though she was resisting. She held on to the side of the car, shaking her head at the man.
Only, there was no audio function in the surveillance cameras, and the conversation between the two figures could not be heard.
From the scene alone, it looked like the woman was being coerced.
The man dragged Lin Kerou into the car, and the video showed him removing her clothes. His movements were violent and showed no mercy.
Those moves subconsciously reminded Mu Donglin of how he had torn Li Beinian’s dress.
Rape!
But this was a completely unfamiliar scene, a completely alien setting. Mu Donglin was certain that he had never been part of it!
He didn’t have the slightest impression of it!
“That man isn’t me!”
Mu Donglin shouted with certainty.
However, the back view, the clothes, and even the posture were very much like his own!
Lin Ya exploded at this denial and lunged forward immediately, making a move to throw a punch at the man.
Caught off-guard, Mu Donglin was hit before he had the chance to dodge.
This provoked the man’s fury, and he raised his voice. “Lin Ya! I’ve already said—it isn’t me!”
But Lin Ya would not listen, as though hell-bent on beating the man up. He was unstoppable!
Very soon, the two men were entangled in a fistfight.
“Enough!”
A girl’s voice shouted as it broke out into a sob.
The people turned around to see a figure in pale yellow running towards them, her face tear-streaked.
Lin Kerou came up to them and held Lin Ya back as she cried, “Stop it, Big Brother!”
She positioned her delicate frame between the two men. Immediately, Lin Ya stopped throwing punches.
Similarly, Mu Donglin restrained himself, his hand reaching up to wipe the corner of his mouth as he stood up.
Lin Kerou put her arm around Lin Ya to steady him as she started crying.
Everyone saw the marks on her body, evidence that she had been enjoyed.
Even if there weren’t too many, they were obvious under the pale yellow evening dress.
When Mother Lin so clearly saw the state of her own daughter, her eyes rolled back as she almost passed out.
