The enemy you face is far more powerful than you think

"What happened to you?" Gu Qingyao dodged backwards.

This action seemed to have deeply hurt Lin Xiaxue, but Lin Xiaxue did not dare to continue leaning forward, and only said softly: "I, I did not do anything, I just feel uncomfortable inside."

Gu Qingyao was silent for a moment, then asked: "Have you pleaded guilty?"

Lin Xiaxue nodded and shook her head.

Gu Qingyao looked at Lin Xiaxue for a long time before saying: "There is something I wanted to tell you earlier, but I never had the chance." She paused for a moment, and said: "You know how long you can possibly be sentenced, right?"

"Senior Jingfeng told me." Lin Xiaxue said in a hoarse voice, "This is my first offense, and my age is also young. I was muddled for a moment, and it did not cause too serious of a consequence. I think it's three years of imprisonment, plus a suspended sentence.

Gu Qingyao and Li Muyan looked at each other, then said: "Impossible, your begging period is around five years and there is no possibility of it being suspended."

Lin Xiaxue looked at Gu Qingyao in disbelief, "How is that possible? Senior Jingfeng will not lie to me! "

"I've already asked the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the chain of evidence is not complete yet. Once we find evidence to reinforce our authority, we might have to go further and beg for punishment." Gu Qingyao's tone was very calm, her eyes seemed to be filled with pity as she looked at Lin Xiaxue.

Lin Xiaxue started to tremble in disbelief: "This is impossible, this … This was too scary. "I'm only 18 years old. If I stay in prison for five years, then my life will be ruined. When that happens, nothing can make up for the long five years."

"Furthermore, Yue Jingfeng might not wait until that time." Gu Qingyao patiently and patiently.

"Right, right …" Lin Xiaxue's teeth seemed to be trembling, "By that time, if Senior Jingfeng also doesn't want me anymore, then I don't even know what to do. I, I …"

She was almost going to faint when Gu Qingyao finally spoke in a soft voice: "Xia Xue, was this something Yue Jingfeng asked you to do?"

Lin Xiaxue raised her head, her eyes filled with panic.

Gu Qingyao looked at Lin Xiaxue, and said word by word: "Xia Xue, there are some things that I want you to say now, it's for your own good. If the day truly comes that you are unable to reverse the situation, no matter who you tell this year's truth to, no one will believe you anymore. You can do a lot of things, but you definitely cannot help others take responsibility, do you really think that Yue Jingfeng will cherish you? Do you really believe that a man who can make you bear the consequences will love you? When you have nothing, do you really think he will stay with you? "

"You don't understand." However, it was as if Lin Xiaxue had calmed down all of a sudden. Her smile was as ugly as crying, and she said in a low voice: "Xiao Yao, do you really think that I'm taking the blame for Yue Jingfeng? Do you really think that I have done all these just because I like Yue Jingfeng? "

She laughed softly and shook her head.

"Xiao Yao, you really don't know anything."

"What do you mean?" Gu Qingyao frowned.

"I did all of this, not only for Yue Jingfeng, but also for my own future." Lin Xiaxue clenched her teeth, and said with a low voice: "Xiao Yao, the person who wants to take away everything you have is not only me, I only did this, your good days are about to come to an end."

Gu Qingyao's entire body turned cold as she spoke with a cold face, "Lin Xiaxue, you..."

"You can't be trying to tell me that we're friends, so I shouldn't do this to you, right? Xiao Yao, we were indeed friends before, but that was all in the past. In the future, we will not be friends anymore, I … "

"Xia Xue, you misunderstood." Gu Qingyao's tone was cold and indifferent: "I just wanted to tell you that in the coming days, you can be mentally prepared. You might have made some sort of deal, so relative to you, you will have to pay the price."

"I will. I'm paying the price right now." Lin Xiaxue was startled, then laughed bitterly: "It's just that Xiao Yao, the enemy you have to face is much more terrifying than what you have imagined. For the sake of the past, let me remind you, but this is also the last sentence."

Gu Qingyao still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Muyan.

"Xiao Yao, can you go out for a while?" Li Muyan who had been silent the entire time suddenly spoke up.

Gu Qingyao was startled. "What are you trying to do?"

"I have something to discuss with Miss Lin in private." The corner of Li Muyan's lips curled up slightly, and he patted Gu Qingyao's head: "Listen to me."

His tone was so gentle, as if he was coaxing a child. Unknowingly, jealousy had filled the depths of Lin Xiaxue's eyes.

Gu Qingyao did not think too much into it, and nodded in agreement.

She didn't have much time to wait outside the door, and the Superintendent of the Watch Room was there to talk to her, so she didn't have to wait too long.

Very quickly, Li Muyan walked out. He smiled lightly and wrapped his arms around Gu Qingyao's shoulders, "Let's go," he finished speaking and turned to look at the Superintendent of the Watch Room. "Thank you, Superintendent Ding.

"No need." Superintendent Ding's expression was a little complicated, as if he was sizing up Li Muyan. But very quickly, he laughed: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of procedure."

Li Muyan just laughed and brought Gu Qingyao out.

However, Gu Qingyao couldn't help but recall Lin Xiaxue's expression when she pushed open the door and walked out.

It was as if she had completely lost her soul. Her face was terrifyingly pale. She sat there like a puppet. It was obvious that she was extremely afraid.

"What did you say to Lin Xiaxue just now?" After walking a distance, Gu Qingyao finally couldn't resist asking.

Li Muyan was startled for a moment, and said: "Oh, I just routinely asked about some matters of the past. I want to know who was the one who was controlling it from behind the scenes."

Seeing that Gu Qingyao did not quite understand, Li Muyan said: "The reason why Lin Xiaxue is willing to take the blame, or should I say why she is willing to admit that she did it herself, is partly because she was deceived by Yue Jingfeng, and thought that she could get her sentence suspended.

"Serve me up, and I'll exchange it for some benefits..." Gu Qingyao muttered.

"To be able to make her willingly leave behind a stain that she wants to make in her entire life, it is definitely not a small number. I was asking Lin Xiaxue these things just now." Li Muyan said indifferently.

"She can't say, can she?" Gu Qingyao looked at Li Muyan, feeling that he was hiding something.

Li Muyan laughed and handed over a set of records to Gu Qingyao: "You can take a look."

Gu Qingyao stared fixedly at the record of the call which was marked with red: "A lot of it is for my home …"

"During her stay in the United States, she did not make many calls. Many of them were to Mr. Gu, and there was even this one." Li Muyan pointed to one among them, and said indifferently: "It's already an empty number."

Gu Qingyao frowned.

Not far away, Yue Jingfeng had clearly seen them, and hurriedly walked over.
