Upon hearing Lin Yaodong's words, Mu Liuyun instinctively became alert and took a few steps back towards the cliff.
The first thing they did upon meeting was ask for a gun. This isn't about helping; it's about silencing them.
Moreover, the man in black was wearing gloves, which clearly indicated that he had already prepared to have Liu Kun shot eight times in the back and commit suicide.
But Mu Liuyun looked at the man in black, took the pistol from Liu Kun, and knew that she didn't have time to remind him anymore.
"Uncle Dong, what should I do now?"
"well."
Lin Yaodong sighed deeply: "Given the current situation, you have no choice but to leave now."
"Go? Where else can I go? Uncle Dong, you have to help me."
"Look at you, child, what's the rush? I already said I'd help you, I'll definitely send you away."
Lin Yaodong shook his head with a smile, looking like he really couldn't do anything with this kid, and patted Liu Kun on the shoulder.
Then, he turned his gaze to Mu Liuyun.
Under the moonlight, Mu Liuyun stood outside the shade of the tree, her face made even more beautiful, which made Lin Yaodong's eyes sharpen instantly.
He took a few steps closer to Mu Liuyun, then smiled and extended his hand.
"This must be Mu Liuyun, right? I've heard so much about you. Please just call me Uncle Dong, thanks to my friends."
"Hello."
Mu Liuyun looked at Lin Yaodong's outstretched hand, but did not reach out to shake it, nor did she call him Uncle Dong. Instead, she looked at the cliff behind her.
Lin Yaodong noticed Mu Liuyun's actions, but to him, whether Mu Liuyun jumped or not, the outcome would be the same.
So he just stroked his chin and scanned Mu Liuyun back and forth, from the tips of her hair all the way to her heels.
"Yes, they look alike, so alike, they're practically identical."
"But how did you survive?"
Lin Yaodong couldn't help but recall twenty years ago, when he arranged for his men to steal the baby from a hospital abroad, and then sent the baby and his men back to China, where they were fed to bears.
At that time, he watched as the bear tore his men apart, and then watched as the baby was swallowed by the bear, along with the plaque given to him by the old patriarch.
It was precisely because the brand and the child disappeared that the couple has been searching for their child abroad ever since, neglecting their business in China, which gave him a chance to turn things around.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel curious: "Xiao Yunyun, I have a question for you."
As he spoke, Lin Yaodong took the wooden plaque out of his pocket and showed it to Mu Liuyun: "Is this plaque yours?"
Mu Liuyun peered at the sign by the moonlight. With his naked eye vision of 5.1 and the help of fish oil he took every day, he could barely make out the character "Lin" on the wooden sign. He quickly looked down and touched his work pants, only to find that they were empty.
At this moment, although he did not answer, his actions spoke louder than words.
So Mu Liuyun stopped pretending and explained, "It's mine. An old lady gave it to me when I was on the bus last month."
"old lady?"
Lin Yaodong was taken aback.
No old lady was involved in what happened back then.
What does this mean? Isn't Mu Liuyun the baby he stole back then?
Just as they were wondering what was going on, Liu Kun spoke up again: "Uncle Dong, stop chatting. The police could come at any moment. Let's go first!"
"Look at you, in such a hurry. But you have a point, so I'll let you go first. I'll have Lao Mo take you."
Lin Yaodong looked impatient, glanced at the man in black beside him, and gestured towards Liu Kun with his lip.
The man in black nodded and silently approached Liu Kun with his pistol in hand.
Even if Liu Kun was stupid, he realized the problem at this moment. He took a step back and asked, "Uncle Dong, what does this mean!"
"What exactly happened?"
Lin Yaodong did not respond to Liu Kun, but stared intently at Mu Liuyun, looking thoughtful.
Seeing this, Liu Kun gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Dong, are you trying to kick me while I'm down?"
"Hey, you're wrong."
At this moment, Lin Yaodong looked at Liu Kun and said, "How can this be called crossing the river and burning the bridge? You didn't help me at all. I can only call this cleaning up the trash."
"What?! Damn old man, without my help, how could you possibly compete with Lin Hongmei for the family fortune!"
Lin Yaodong shook his head and gestured at the man in black across his neck: "You're wrong again. It's not that you helped me, it's that I chose you."
"Actually, I initially wanted to choose that silly boy from the Long family, but I didn't expect that Long Aotian would reject me."
As the man in black approached step by step, Liu Kun was so frightened that he wet himself, and all his previous ferocity vanished.
He knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Old man, no, Uncle Dong, please spare my life! I may not have done anything special, but I have put in a lot of effort! Look, Mu Liuyun, the Mu Liuyun you're talking about, I'm the one who helped you find her!"
"Yes, you're right, so you have to go."
"Bang!"
The man in black had his pistol pressed against Liu Kun's chin without anyone noticing. With a flash of light, Liu Kun's head was shattered into a watermelon shape.
"After killing the hostage Mu Liuyun, Liu Kun knew his crime was unforgivable, so he shot himself, which is a pity for two young lives."
Lin Yaodong clasped his hands together in front of Liu Kun's corpse and made a bowing gesture, as if he valued the deceased very much.
"Can you tell me what this brand means, and why you value me so much?"
Hearing Mu Liuyun's words, Lin Yaodong turned around and approached her again: "Actually, if Liu Kun had told me what you looked like earlier, I probably would have sent you away long ago, after all, you..."
"I?"
Mu Liuyun didn't expect that she would actually be the Lin family's lost child. Putting aside whether a large family like the Lin family would make such a basic mistake, based on his experience, even if he returned to the Lin family, he would most likely face the problem of the real and fake young master.
Why would he go back? It's not like he can't support himself.
Anyway, having Old Man Mu as a relative is enough for him.
So, Mu Liuyun was just a little curious, wondering why she ended up in that trash can.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yaodong was standing in front of Mu Liuyun. Looking at Mu Liuyun's curious expression, his face behind the mask twisted, and he let out a disgusting laugh: "Hahaha, you think I would really tell you?"
"I'm not one of those low-level villains in novels. It would be more to my liking if you died without knowing why!"
"At least tell me who you are?"
"Old Mo, make your move!"
Lin Yaodong still did not answer Mu Liuyun. After giving the order, he was about to leave when the man in black also stepped forward.
"Old man, come with me."
Mu Liuyun's chance, which he had been waiting for all night, finally arrived. He grabbed Lin Yaodong's shirt and then leaped behind him.
Although Mu Liuyun was not very strong, the sudden attack, combined with her full weight, caught even the well-maintained Lin Yaodong off guard, and he fell off the cliff with Mu Liuyun.
"You, you little beast!"
Just as he was about to fall off the cliff, Lin Yaodong grabbed a rock beside him: "Old Mo, pull me back!"
The man in black reacted quickly, grabbing a small tree on the edge of the cliff with one hand and pulling Lin Yaodong with the other.
With this help, Lin Yaodong turned around and started kicking Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun, who was already short of strength, let go after a short while.
Just before letting go, he made a face at Lin Yaodong: "See you next time, Uncle Dong!"
As soon as the sound of him falling rang out, Lin Yaodong was pulled up by the man in black, gritting his teeth and pointing in the direction where Mu Liuyun had fallen: "Damn it, Lao Mo, quick, go down and kill him for me!"
Lin Yaodong also noticed that the cliff wasn't very high, and there were many tree branches below to provide cover, so Mu Liuyun was most likely still alive.
But the man in black glanced down the cliff and then shook his head at Lin Yaodong: "Uncle Dong, the police are here."
In the forest on the cliff, one powerful flashlight after another lit up.
Lin Yaodong took a deep breath, removed his mask, and his expression calmed down, transforming back into the kind old man: "Old Mo, let's go back and get some late-night snacks. I want to eat the fish you make."
