Chapter 560 - Tell Me the Truth, How Did You Know?

Li Beinian’s tone was heavy and her breathing was rapid.

Mu Xichen looked at her intently. “Mingye?”

“Yes!” Li Beinian wiped her tear-streaked face and said in a tone filled with condemnation. “Whereas in order to preserve your body, everyone in the Mo Family was suspended for investigation.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re a soldier yourself. You should know how this will affect them in the future! Because of this matter, their hopes of promotion in the future had all been dashed.”

What other chances of promotion would there be?

There was a possibility.

However, it was minute.

At this point, Li Beinian suddenly remembered Mu Donglin’s words. “7740, stop at Mu Xichen.”

Mu Xichen’s eyes flashed as he stared at her.

There were still tears in Li Beinian’s eyes, but the fear that was so evident on her face just before had largely vanished.

She was now looking at him calmly, with condemnation and sadness.

“7740. How did you know?” Mu Xichen looked at her as he held her in his arms. His eyes were as deep as the sea, they were like a whirlpool, drawing her in. He narrowed his eyes and whispered, “Do you know what this is?”

Li Beinian sniffed and shook her head. “I don’t know. Mu Donglin mentioned it.”

Narrowing his eyes further, Mu Xichen and said firmly, “It’s impossible that he knows about it.”

“Ah Chen.” Li Beinian looked at him and said with certainty, “I’m speaking the truth. He said this on the phone with Lin Kerou in his arms, after you were executed...”

Yes, he was on the phone with his arms wrapped around Lin Kerou.

Who was he talking to?

Li Beinian was stunned for a moment before asking, “Could he have been talking to Lin Ya?”

In other words, Lin Ya also knew about 7740.

Snapping out of the daze, Li Beinian immediately asked, “What exactly is 7740?”

“7740 is a secret team of mine.” Mu Xichen’s voice was quiet and deep as he stared at her intently. “Each of them has a code name. Besides Mingye and myself, no one else knows of their existence. Only I have a name list.”

Li Beinian was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“The only person who knows is the person I trust the most.” Mu Xichen’s eyes darkened. He tightened his arms around her and whispered, “Tell me the truth, how did you know?”

Li Beinian’s heart pounded wildly.

She ran her tongue over her lips as she looked at him and asked, “What does this team do?”

“T Jing is one of them.” Mu Xichen put his arm around her waist and drew her closer to him. “One of the core members.”

Li Beinian continued to sit on his lap. When she heard the name T Jing, there was a sense of familiarity. She probed further, “A hacker?”

Mu Xichen’s heart sank.

Initially, he just wanted to test how much she knew. A leak of such insider information was no small matter.

Observing Mu Xichen’s expression, Li Beinian knew that she had guessed correctly.

“There are many things that I cannot recall, but if something specific were to appear or happen, I will have a vague impression. For example what happened with Shi Yuanhang today, or T Jing.”

Li Beinian pressed her face against his and whispered, “I also know about Lin Ya. He may look innocent, but in reality, he and Mu Donglin have some secret dealings between them.”

Looking into Mu Xichen’s deep and dark eyes, Li Beinian continued, “And Bei Lun. I recognized him the very first time I saw him. He came after us and always wore a leather jacket. He carried his gun in his leather jacket – it was an M1911.”
