Just then, the doorbell rang.
She paused slightly, and a certain person's face naturally appeared in her mind, filling her with anticipation as she walked towards the door.
When she took a deep breath and looked down through the peephole in the door to see the outside world, she was met with an unexpected person.
That little... girl named Shen Muchan?
She was somewhat taken aback, not understanding what was going on, but she still composed herself and opened the door.
How did you know I lived here?
Lin Mushi asked, puzzled.
Crimson glanced at her and said, "Who told you to leave so many traces over there?"
Lin Mushi cared a lot about those words, but didn't show any emotion. She casually asked, "It seems you've been cleaning for a long time?"
There was clearly a deeper meaning in his words.
Crimson could tell from her tone and said with a sneer, "That makes you happy, though. She didn't tell me to throw all your things out, leaving nothing behind."
Hearing this, Lin Mushi was very happy, her eyes even brightened, but her tone remained calm.
"Why should I be happy? Do you think I know perfectly well that she's a lazy bum?"
Crimson ignored him, thinking, "Keep pretending."
Lin Mushi coughed, cleared her throat, and then asked, "So why did you come to see me?"
Crimson did not answer the question, but said, "This has nothing to do with her."
She was referring to Gu Yuqiu in her words.
Lin Mushi was even more surprised. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I remember, I've only met you once. We're not familiar with each other at all."
"Yes."
Crimson laughed and said, "Although we're not close, I'm sure you're a warm-hearted person."
Lin Mushi raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at her, asking, "Did you come here specifically to give me a 'nice guy' card?"
The tone of her words was very unfriendly, and the resentment in her words was particularly obvious, because she felt that Crimson had come to provoke her.
However, the next second, she realized that she was thinking too much, or rather, she couldn't say these things out loud, otherwise she would be humiliating herself.
"idiot."
Along with that curse, there was another sentence.
“I’m different from you. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal. I won’t fall hopelessly in love with someone just because they’re good-looking, to the point of losing my appetite and even forgetting my own name.”
……
……
The living room became deathly quiet.
Lin Mushi stared at the deep red, took a deep breath, and found that she still couldn't calm down.
After some time, she smiled somewhat awkwardly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Little sister, your joke is really... interesting."
"If you think it's a joke, then it's a joke."
Crimson didn't care about that and said, "I have something important to discuss with you."
Lin Mushi thought to herself, "What right do you have to say this?" and asked directly, "If she has anything for you to tell me, just say it. I'm listening."
As she spoke, she went to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to the little girl who was shorter than her.
Shen Hong took the water, shook her head, and said, "This has nothing to do with Gu Yuqiu."
Lin Mushi frowned slightly and said, "I don't know what conflict you had with her that made you come to me, but at most I'll just call the police for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Crimson interrupted her and said something else.
"My name is Shen Muchan."
At this moment, although she was looking up at Lin Mushi with her head slightly raised, she exuded an air of superiority.
Just like the tone of her voice when she spoke the next sentence.
"But more people prefer to call me... Crimson."
Chapter 95: Chapter Ninety-Four: A Matter of Principle
Red is a color.
"Deep" represents the degree.
These two words don't often appear together.
Because this color is too intense, it is not suitable for use in any place. It can easily clash with the surrounding objects, become particularly glaring, and ruin the overall feel.
More often than not, deep red is used to describe the color of blood.
Of course, the crimson that appears in Shen Muchan's conversation with Lin Mushi at this moment has a very clear specific meaning, and there is only one meaning.
What are you talking about?
Lin Mushi was very angry and said angrily, "It's not like I haven't seen Shen Hong before. You're so short, and you still want to come up to me and pretend to be her? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
After he finished speaking, the living room fell silent once again.
Crimson suddenly laughed, looked into Lin Mushi's eyes, and asked seriously, "Do you... want to die?"
The thing she hates most in her life is that she can't grow any taller, and the second thing is when other people talk to her about her height.
Lin Mushi has committed both of these offenses, and according to her logic, she should die.
The problem is, if she really does kill someone, how will she explain it to Gu Yuqiu afterwards?
Does that mean she'll have to die too?
It's not worth risking your life for someone else's, because she still wants to live and kill Gu Yuqiu another day. She shouldn't die over something like this.
That's far too frivolous.
Crimson thought quietly.
Lin Mushi found the words hilarious and the threat too polite. Just as she was about to burst out laughing, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
In a daze, she felt as if she had left her warm home and gone to a snowy wilderness.
Just as she was feeling bewildered, a deep red light rose from the distance, illuminating the entire world like the rising sun.
The next moment, everything in front of her began to disappear without a trace.
Only that deep red light remained.
Do you believe it now?
Crimson looked at her and slowly withdrew her right index finger.
The fingertips shone with a crimson light like the blazing sun.
Lin Mushi forced a smile, trying to calm herself down, and said, "I believe you, but I don't quite understand... what's going on."
As she said this, she suddenly recalled the conversation that had taken place in the coffee shop a few days earlier.
Just as Lu Xiu was about to ask Gu Yuqiu about the battle on the bridge and the events on the Fool's Ship, the latter casually said something.
—I'm afraid you won't have time.
Just after he finished speaking, Lu Xiu's phone rang, followed by a series of news reports that a certain thug had been killed and his body disposed of.
The killer is Crimson.
Apart from Lu Xiu, none of the people present believed that Gu Yuqiu and Shen Hong had any connection, especially Lin Mushi, who had personally experienced the battle at the bridge.
However, it is now clear that her initial feeling was wrong.
"It's very simple."
Shen Hong took a sip of the warm water and said calmly, "Gu Yuqiu and I are allies now."
Lin Mushi was quiet for a moment before asking the question she most wanted to know at that moment.
"So who exactly is she?"
"You really want to know?"
"Yes."
"Of course I can't tell you."
Crimson gave a mocking smile, walked to the sofa, turned around and sat down, saying, "Aiming too high is not a good thing. Anyway, you know she's not simple, that's enough."
Lin Mushi asked, puzzled, "With your strength, why did you come to find me specifically?"
Crimson said, "Because you can influence her decisions, I want to cooperate with you."
Lin Mushi rubbed her temples and said, "I suggest you look around. If I can influence her decision, she won't kick me out that night."
Crimson shook her head and said, "It's precisely because she drove you away that I can conclude that she values you a lot. Otherwise, why would she protect you in this way?"
Lin Mushi said sincerely, "I think you're overthinking it."
These are words that come from the depths of her heart.
"It doesn't matter, you'll see that I'm telling the truth later."
Crimson's tone was casual: "What I want to hear now is your response to my proposal."
Lin Mushi still didn't understand and asked, "Why do you think I would agree to your request? Don't you know how bad your reputation is?"
Crimson looked at her as if she were an idiot and said, "When doing things, you don't care about reputation, you care about what benefits you can gain."
Lin Mushi disagreed with this statement, but she didn't intend to argue. She casually asked, "Then what can you give me that would be more beneficial than me reporting you to Lu Xiu?"
Crimson smiled slightly and said, word by word, "I can help you get her."
Who else could she be in those words?
Of course, it's Gu Yuqiu.
Lin Mushi thought about Shen Hong's words not long ago, especially those about sexual orientation, and felt very angry. She pointed towards the door and said coldly, "Please leave."
