The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 229

Chapter 229: Chapter 229

The male voice carried a teasing tone, but more than that, it was a warning.

A moment later, everyone’s attention was drawn towards the source.

Si Lin, dressed in a dark blue double-breasted suit, was walking slowly towards them.

His tall and upright figure exerted an overwhelming presence.

Especially Yu Man, who had previously suffered at his hands, involuntarily stepped back two paces when she saw the malicious smirk in his daring eyes.

"Si... Young Master Si!"

After the failed attempt to trick Si Lin and being unfairly labeled as mentally unstable by Jiang Guosheng, Yu Man’s legs were shaking every time she saw Si Lin.

She hurriedly explained, "I wasn’t engaging in moral kidnapping. I truly believe that Weiwei, being such a sweet girl, would never initiate such a terrible cyberattack; there must be some misunderstanding."

Yu Man shot Jiang Moxi a resentful glance before continuing.

"It’s very likely the result of misinformation by some people with ulterior motives. I hope Young Master Si can investigate this thoroughly and vindicate Weiwei."

As Yu Man was eager to explain, she noticed Si Lin’s gaze sweeping over Jiang Moxi and then settling on Jing Yan.

His eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was trying to discern something from Jing Yan.

Yu Man thought, if Si Lin found out that Jiang Moxi had unsavory relationships with other men, perhaps he would no longer protect her.

If Si Lin could turn around and help them deal with Jiang Moxi, pinning all the crimes on her and getting Weiwei released sooner, that would be even better.

So, Yu Man quickly spoke up again: "Moxi has lots of dubious male friends around her, this is just one of them. Young Master Si, I really didn’t want to see you deceived by such a person, that’s why I’m telling you the truth."

As soon as Yu Man finished speaking, Jing Yan was so angry that he reached for the gun at his waist, wanting to shoot her mouth off.

But Jiang Moxi quickly held his hand, stopping him.

She worried that revealing the gun at this moment would not only jeopardize their mission tonight but also trap them in danger.

After being stopped by Jiang Moxi, Jing Yan regained some rationality and just stared at Yu Man with a menacing look.

However, Si Lin’s gaze had been fixed on Jing Yan the whole time, so the movement towards his waist did not escape his notice.

In addition to that, there was also Jiang Moxi’s intervention...

Si Lin’s eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze flickering and inscrutable.

Yu Man saw his chilling eyes and decided to add more fuel to the fire, "I just saw them getting all cozy at the entrance here, you..."

This time, she was interrupted by Si Lin before she could finish.

"You old nag, do you think everyone is as stupid as you, to believe whatever they hear?"

With that one sentence, Yu Man was left speechless.

But Si Lin didn’t even give her a chance to respond and went on to say: "You keep insisting that someone misled Jiang Weiwei into launching the attack? Are you implying that it was Xixi who misled her?"

Yu Man did not respond, but her resentful expression said it all.

Then, Si Lin turned to Jiang Moxi: "Xixi, was it really you who misled Jiang Weiwei?"

Si Lin still had a teasing smile on his face.

Compared to others, Si Lin was clearer about the fact that Jiang Moxi was indeed the Justice Hacker.

Thus facing Si Lin, Jiang Moxi didn’t bother to deny outright and simply said, "If you think so, then let it be."

Yu Man, upon hearing Jiang Moxi’s response that almost sounded like an admission of leading Jiang Weiwei astray, immediately eagerly anticipated Si Lin’s serious treatment of Jiang Moxi.

Regardless of why Jiang Moxi admitted to misleading Jiang Weiwei, Yu Man only wanted to seize this opportunity to get Jiang Weiwei out of that damned jail as soon as possible.

As for Jiang Moxi...

After all, she’s not mediocre and incapable, and she’s not close to me, so let her be jailed.

As for Si Lin, although Yu Man also knew that Si Lin had a liking for Jiang Moxi, she still firmly believed that Si Lin would maintain a proper sense of right and wrong.

Even if he wanted to favor Jiang Moxi, he shouldn’t continue to protect her when the truth was laid bare.

But Si Lin looked at Jiang Moxi with great interest for quite a while, and with a hook of his lips, he smiled and said, "Hmm, well done!"

Jiang Moxi didn’t expect Si Lin to say that and couldn’t help but give him a slight smile.

Jing Yan looked at Jiang Moxi and then at Si Lin, always feeling that their smiles seemed a bit sinister.

Yu Man was totally disheveled by now and even began to suspect her sanity. Otherwise, how could she have heard such a perspective-shattering response from Si Lin?

After a moment, Yu Man noticed that Si Lin was still smiling at Jiang Moxi, and her emotions spiraled out of control once again.

"Young Master Si, you’re complicit in her wrongdoing!"

Yu Man shouted, but Si Lin just gave her a cold glance.

"I’m just learning from you, aren’t I? Taking one-sided stories and convicting Jiang Weiwei, and I can even use my power to ensure Jiang Weiwei spends her whole life in prison as a green tea bitch."

Si Lin’s words caused Yu Man to scream uncontrollably, "Ah! You can’t do this to Weiwei..."

But Yu Man knew she couldn’t stop Si Lin, so she immediately grabbed Jiang Moxi’s hand.

"Moxi, quickly plead with Young Master Si, ask him not to target Weiwei."

Seeing that Jiang Moxi’s face remained cold and indifferent with no response, Yu Man shouted again, "I’m your mother, your life was given by me, you must listen to me."

At that moment, Jiang Moxi forcefully pulled away her hand.

"If possible, I would rather you had not given me this life..."

Then, Jiang Moxi strode away.

Jing Yan, seeing this, quickly followed her.

"You have been given this life by me, that’s a fact set in stone. Now go and confess to all the crimes, do you hear me?"

Yu Man cursed and tried to follow, but Si Lin extended his leg and tripped her.

Si Lin ignored Yu Man’s resentful gaze and chuckled, "Sorry, I’ve got long legs!"

Then, he swaggered off following Jiang Moxi and the others.

Yu Man was so angry she abandoned all decorum and wailed loudly, later being picked up by Jiang Guosheng who was going to the parking lot to drive away.

Jiang Moxi and Jing Yan walked to the back street of the Peninsula Hotel and each went into a restroom to change clothes.

Because by now, several urgent action messages from Hunter were already lying in their phones.

Yu Man’s sudden appearance had delayed their operation.

Their target, Donald, had already left his room and was heading towards the banquet hall.

They could only play it by ear now!

Just as Jiang Moxi had finished changing and stepped out of the restroom, she was stopped by Si Lin: "Xixi?"

Jiang Moxi was wearing a green hoodie and pants, with half of her face covered by her silver bangs.

But she had not anticipated that Si Lin would recognize her at first glance.

Even when she avoided Si Lin, trying to pretend he mistook her for someone else, Si Lin still caught her wrist in an instant.

"Xixi, I know it’s you."

Jing Yan also changed into a similar hoodie, but in grey.

He came out and, seeing Si Lin blocking Jiang Moxi, was ready to draw his gun.

Even though Si Lin had just helped Jiang Moxi, his recognition of Jiang Moxi right now was bound to be a lasting trouble.

Jing Yan was sent by Xuanming to Jiang Moxi’s side precisely to eliminate these troubles for her.

But before he could make a move, Jiang Moxi suddenly spoke up: "Stop."

Yet in that instant, Si Lin once again sharply caught the movement of Jing Yan’s hand towards his waist, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "That’s a gun, isn’t it?"

His tone was so certain that without waiting for Jiang Moxi and the others to answer, he asked: "What are you guys up to?"
