Chapter 357: You Asked for It
When her words fell, the entire scene was silent.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Kerou. Mu Donglin’s face remained dark.
However, Li Meng quickly retorted. “In order to cover up your crime, you jumped in so you could shift the blame to her.”
“Why would I be held down by the kelp, then?”
Li Meng reacted very quickly. “You used too much strength and ended up implicating yourself!”
Li Beinian smiled and continued, “The kelp is at the bottom of the sea. If I wanted to kill someone and cover up my crime, why would I swim to the bottom of the sea?”
Li Meng was rendered speechless and she turned to look at Lin Kerou.
“The kelp grows at the bottom of the sea which has a depth of about two to three meters,” Li Beinian said. “Someone that can’t swim would definitely struggle in the water and slowly sink to the bottom. As a result, according to your claim of not being able to swim, you would have lost your consciousness. If I pushed you down, would you be able to scream for help?”
Li Beinian sneered. “Don’t you sense the contradiction?”
Her explanation was logical.
Every detail seemed contrary to what Lin Kerou said.
Unexpectedly, Lin Kerou did not panic. She just stared at Li Beinian with tears in her eyes. “Must you force me, Nian Nian?
“I don’t want to argue with you because you are Brother Donglin’s fiancèe. Besides your title, do you think I’m afraid of you?”
Lin Kerou was acting differently from before as she said to Li Beinian threateningly, “Since things have come to this and you’re forcing me to do this, I won’t show you any more mercy!”
As she spoke, her tears fell continuously, making her look extremely grievous and pitiful.
Li Beinian blinked and waited for her to expose her true self.
“At that time, there were only two of us. You wanted to jump off and frame me for killing you. There are no surveillance cameras at sea. When something happened to you and there’s a lack of proof, I would naturally become a murderer!”
Lin Kerou gritted her teeth. “You didn’t want to kill me. You just wanted to torture me!
“You dived into the water and arranged everything. If someone saw me and saved me, they would definitely dive into the water to save you…”
Lin Kerou cried loudly and painfully. “At that time, I would be at the surface while you would be at the bottom. Your situation would be more serious than mine so, of course, I became the victim!
“In reality, you were the one that tied the kelp to your ankles. You also jumped in yourself. Everything was carefully planned by you!
“If you died, I would become a murderer and there would be no proof! However, I’m still alive. You did all of this because I’m in love with your fiancé!”
Lin Kerou covered her face and wept bitterly. “I love Brother Donglin, but Brother Donglin… is devoted to you.
“If the truth was exposed, how much harm will befall you and Brother Donglin? I’m sure of it…
“I don’t want to argue with you. You’re young and it was just a moment of confusion. Why did you have to push the blame to me? You asked for it!”
Li Meng cried out grievously. “Kerou has been kind from a young age. She won’t even dare to kill a cockroach. How could she kill someone? Young Master Mu, say something!”
After being called out, Mu Donglin looked at Li Beinian in disappointment. He closed his eyes and said, “Forget it. Let’s stop pursuing the matter.”
