Chapter 123 Lu Jin said to Meng Lin: The man that night was me!
The background of the video is a suite with dim lighting.
Lu Jin couldn't see the other man's face, but the surrounding environment made him feel extremely familiar.
That night he alternated between lucidity and confusion, and this was the room he saw.
The decoration on the head of the bed was particularly unique and left a lasting impression on him.
He couldn't remember what the man with him looked like, he only knew that he was curled up in his arms and crying hard.
At that time, he was controlled by drugs and was out of control like a ferocious beast.
He didn't remember clearly what happened in the end.
When he woke up, he was lying on the street. If it weren't for the marks left on his body, he would have thought it was a dream.
Later, he investigated but found nothing.
If it weren’t for the video that was leaked on Weibo, Lu Jin felt that he would never know the truth of what happened in his lifetime.
He didn't dare to jump to conclusions, fearing that the result would be different from what he had imagined.
Lu Jin asked someone to investigate the person who posted the video and the hotel in the video.
When Meng Lin saw the Weibo post, he felt like the sky was falling. The thing he feared most finally happened.
A year ago, he was willing to retire and agree to divide the property in order to keep the matter quiet and prevent it from being exposed.
But he never expected that the video would be leaked...Chen Zifei, Xie Zicheng, it must be them.
Meng Lin suppressed the anger in his heart and called Xie Zicheng.
"Alin, you finally called me."
Xie Zicheng's voice was filled with inexplicable excitement, which made Meng Lin's suppressed anger completely burst out. He roared: "Xie Zicheng, what did you promise me? You said you wouldn't expose the video, but how could you do such a thing?"
"Alin, this matter really has nothing to do with me."
Xie Zicheng cried out on the other end of the phone: "I don't know who posted the video. You have to believe me, I never meant to hurt you."
Meng Lin didn't believe a word he said: "Do you think I will still believe you? Besides you and Chen Zifei, who else could have this video?"
“I really didn’t post the video.”
Xie Zicheng tried his best to explain: "I just got out of the detention center and have been staying here for the past few days. Ah Lin, there is no need for me to lie to you anymore."
Meng Lin said coldly: "If it's not you, then it's Chen Zifei."
"Chen Zifei is still in the detention center. I haven't seen her since the case was filed for investigation. I don't know if she did this, but I swear on my hand that it was definitely not me."
Xie Zicheng seemed very sincere and said: "Alin, I was wrong about what happened back then, and I apologize to you. This time, I am willing to cooperate with you to clarify the matter. If you are willing, I will admit that Canyang and Sijin are my children."
Meng Lin: "Do you still have the original video?"
Xie Zicheng looked around and said something else: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to find a way to clarify it as soon as possible."
"Xie Zicheng, I want to ask you, do you have the original video?"
Meng Lin completely lost control and regretted why he had trusted these two scumbags in the first place.
Xie Zicheng was exposed and had no choice but to admit: "The video is with me. Ah Lin, don't be angry, I will send the video to you now."
Meng Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me the address and I'll come find you."
Xie Zicheng gave the address and Meng Lin drove to the agreed restaurant.
On the way, his cell phone kept ringing.
I don't know where the media found his phone number, but they've been calling him non-stop since the video was released. Among the missed calls are calls from his parents, relatives, and friends...
Meng Lin didn’t know how to face the people around him. How could he bear it if his parents knew the truth?
If Lu Jin knew the truth, would he think that he was a dissolute person?
Meng Lin didn't dare to think about how he would feel if Lu Jin looked at him with disgust.
He felt he was going crazy.
Meng Lin didn't dare to answer the call, and his phone went into shutdown mode while ringing continuously.
The car stopped at the door of the restaurant, and Meng Lin walked into the private room with a chill.
Xie Zicheng was already waiting in the private room. Seeing him come in, he eagerly pulled out a chair and said, "Ah Lin, you must not have eaten yet. I remember you used to like this restaurant the most. I ordered a lot of your favorite dishes..."
"Bring out the original video."
Meng Lin knew that the video posted on Weibo was not the complete version. It was different from the video Xie Zicheng and Chen Zifei gave him. These two scumbags recorded a lot at the time.
"I'll give you the video, but don't worry."
Xie Zicheng gestured for him to sit down with his eyes: "Sit down first, we'll eat and talk at the same time."
Meng Linluo clenched his fists tightly at his side, as if on the verge of anger.
"Ah Lin, I really don't mean any harm. We haven't seen each other for so long, and I have a lot to say to you. Our last meeting wasn't pleasant, but it won't affect our communication today."
Xie Zicheng grabbed Meng Lin's arm and pressed him into the chair: "I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer today, and I will also give you what you want."
Meng Lin pursed his thin lips into a line, and he was unwilling to say a word to Xie Zicheng.
Xie Zicheng's mood was completely different from his. After sitting down, he kept looking for topics to talk about. "Ah Lin, Chen Zifei has been imprisoned for her crimes. I heard she's going to be sentenced to at least ten years. I've had enough of her. This woman is a vicious person. If she hadn't threatened me back then, I would never have done anything to hurt you."
Meng Lin's eyes were filled with frost: "Are you finished? Give me the video."
"The video has already been leaked, and now everyone on Weibo is sharing the child's background."
Xie Zicheng's expression was sincere: "Ah Lin, the best way now is for us to remarry. I will clarify that the child is mine, and the man in the video is also me."
After the video was taken out, only Meng Lin's face was revealed, and the other man's face was never shown.
Xie Zicheng said: "I will buy a fake DNA test report so that no one will doubt the origins of the two children."
"Don't dream, I won't be with you."
The disgust in Meng Lin's eyes was extremely clear, like a slap in the face of Xie Zicheng, making him feel extremely embarrassed.
He was a little exasperated: "This is the only way. If you don't consider yourself, why don't you consider Canyang and Sijin?"
"You don't have to pretend here."
Meng Lin was disgusted by Xie Zicheng's hypocritical face. How could this man say such a thing?
If he hadn't been schemed against by Xie Zicheng and Chen Zifei, would he have ended up like this?
How could an innocent child be gossiped about?
"Since you won't give me the video, then we have nothing to talk about."
Meng Lin stood up from his chair and was about to leave the room when Xie Zicheng suddenly ran over and hugged him tightly from behind: "Ah Lin, don't go! Believe me, I will really treat you well."
The strange touch made Meng Lin extremely disgusted. He struggled hard: "Let go! Let me go!"
Xie Zicheng hugged Meng Lin very tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, Meng Lin would leave him again.
In the year of divorce, he clearly tasted the pain of loss.
Meng Lin means more to him than he imagined.
"Ah Lin, I know you're with Lu Jin now. But if Lu Jin knew about your past, would he be able to accept it? Let me tell you, there's more than just one man in that video."
Xie Zicheng's words came from behind, instantly stopping Meng Lin's struggle.
His eyes suddenly widened and his gaze shattered.
Not just a man...
Meng Lin only felt like a bolt of thunder had struck him, shattering all his hopes.
His face was as pale as paper and his whole body was trembling.
"Xie Zicheng, what do you mean?"
What does it mean to be more than just a man...
Xie Zicheng listened to his trembling voice, realized his fragility at this moment, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Chen Zifei found several men. You should have felt that the night was very long... This is not something that one man can do. Canyang and Sijin may not have the same father."
Xie Zicheng was talking nonsense. He just wanted to confuse Meng Lin's mind and make him completely under his control.
Meng Lin's mind went haywire. He suddenly broke free from the arms around him and grabbed Xie Zicheng's shirt. His bloodshot eyes were filled with hatred. "You bastard! How did I offend you that you treat me like this? You're not even human."
"Ah Lin, this has nothing to do with me. It's all done by that vicious woman Chen Zifei."
Xie Zicheng put all the blame on Chen Zifei.
A person who goes to prison is undoubtedly dead, and Meng Lin certainly has no way to find Chen Zifei to verify it.
Bang!
Meng Lin punched Xie Zicheng in the face, knocking him to the ground.
He was so angry that he was almost mad. At this moment, he lost all his rationality.
Meng Lin punched and kicked Xie Zicheng without any reason, just to vent his anger.
Xie Zicheng didn't even have the chance to fight back and could only passively take the beating.
He never thought that Meng Lin would be so powerful.
The fight was not stopped until the waiter came to deliver the food.
Meng Lin was pulled away, but his red eyes were like a beast on the verge of collapse, and the hatred in his eyes was like a knife, which made Xie Zicheng feel scared.
But thinking that Meng Lin was now under his control, he immediately straightened his back, gnashing his teeth and said ferociously, "Meng Lin, I'll give you three days to think about it. If you can't change your mind, I'll release the video. Then everyone in Kyoto will see how wanton you were that night. I advise you to stay with me. Only I can save you now."
Meng Lin closed his eyes in despair and smiled sadly: "Then announce it!"
Under Xie Zicheng's shocked gaze, Meng Lin turned and left.
Unable to contact Meng Lin, Lu Jin anxiously searched the world for him. He alerted the Ministry of Public Security and investigated the surveillance footage before he finally found the curled up man under the bridge.
Meng Lin curled up into a ball, looking like a little animal that was injured and hiding away to lick its wounds alone.
His thin figure looked extremely lonely against the backdrop of the night.
Lu Jin's heart ached, and he quickly walked over and hugged him in his arms.
"Alin!"
Meng Lin suddenly realized and quickly pushed him away, "Don't! Don't touch me!"
I'm so dirty!
Don't touch me!
Tears welled up in Meng Lin's bloodshot eyes, "Lu Jin, let's...separate!"
I am not worthy of you at all now.
Lu Jin grabbed his arm and pulled the man who wanted to escape back into his arms: "Don't say such nonsense, I choose you for life, and I will never be separated from you in this life."
"Everything in the video is true. I am not clean and I am not worthy of you."
Meng Lin almost begged, "Lu Jin, stop pestering me. I don't want to be a burden to you. You still have a long life ahead of you, and you can't let it be tainted because of me."
Lu Jin's heart was broken and filled with heartache.
He held Meng Lin's face and kissed him hard, using his actions to soothe the man's anxiety and sadness.
Meng Lin's tears burst out and meandered all over his cheeks.
He couldn't break free from Lu Jin's embrace, and ultimately could only sink...
After the long kiss, Lu Jin placed his hand against Meng Lin's forehead and spoke slowly, "Lin, listen carefully! The man in the video is not someone else, it's me."
