I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

Kato Megumi blinked hard and held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.

"It's over between us. I'm a murderer and an ominous person. Why do you have to do this? You deserve a better wife. Forget me. Sakurajima Mai is more suitable for you..."

She sniffed and uttered the words with difficulty.

"You're talking nonsense! I don't allow you to say that!" Lin Hezhen said anxiously, "You obviously still love me, why are you running away? And you said you were a murderer, which is even more ridiculous. Don't think I can't see that you turned yourself in just to take the blame for me!"

"I didn't..." Kato Megumi shook her head and defended herself with gritted teeth.

"I can see that!" Lin Hezhen interrupted her, "I know you still like me! You said you don't love me anymore, but that was just an excuse you made up to deceive me!"

"Hui, I know you are worried about me, but even if I am listed as the number one suspect by the police, I cannot let you suffer an unjust accusation. That is not your responsibility!"

Lin Hezhen grabbed Kato Hui's shoulders and asked tearfully, "Why don't you tell me the truth? You clearly told me that we can't hide anything from each other and we should be honest with each other at the first time no matter what happens. Why do you want to bear it all by yourself?"

"Wow, wow, wow..." After hearing this, Kato Megumi finally burst into tears.

Her tears burst out like a flood, and each hot tear fell on Lin Hezhen's shirt, burning his heart.

"Hui, don't cry, don't be afraid, I'm here... Tell me, what do you think?" Lin Hezhen raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and patted her back gently.

Kato Hui leaned her head on his chest and sobbed, "These days, my amnesia attacks have become more and more frequent. I always suddenly forget what I am doing, or an inexplicable memory suddenly appears in my mind."

"In those strange memories, I went to many strange places, experienced many things I had never experienced before, and watched the deaths of Yukinoshita, Eriri, and Shinomiya Kaguya with my own eyes. Even I..."

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm very scared. I'm worried that I've gone completely crazy and am no longer a normal person. I'm no longer worthy of you..." Kato Megumi continued, choking.

"Plus, the media has been slandering you as a murderer for the past few days. The police who recorded my statement also told me that they are under a lot of pressure to solve the case. If they can't find the murderer within a week, they will arrest you directly..."

When Lin Hezhen heard this, his brows furrowed, his eyes as cold as ice: "Did those policemen really say that? They have no bottom line in order to close the case. Are they still law enforcement officers? This is a complete frame-up!"

"He did say that, and he also said that I was also a major suspect and might be an accomplice, and should be arrested..." Kato Megumi said aggrievedly.

"I don't want you to be put in jail because of this case, and I don't want to be a burden to you, so I decided to turn myself in... This can at least help you and keep you out of jail."

Lin Hezhen's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with violent anger.

Damn, how dare those people induce confession?

In order to find a scapegoat, he actually targeted Hui!

"I won't let them go!" Lin Hezhen said viciously.

He will make those bastards pay the price!

"Hui, you must change your confession immediately from now on. I have already made arrangements. The lawyer will bail you out right away. You come home with me and have a good rest for a while. I will spend money to hire the best legal team and will never let anyone slander us!" Lin Hezhen said in a deep voice.

Chapter 354 Proposal

"Also, don't say stupid things like you're not worthy of me anymore. I won't allow you to belittle yourself like that, and don't leave me on your own initiative."

Lin Hezhen took Kato Megumi into his arms and gently stroked her long, black hair, which was as soft and shiny as crow's feathers.

"No matter what happens in the future, we must face it hand in hand and overcome the difficulties together," he said in a firm tone.

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi leaned on his shoulder and nodded slowly.

Lin Kazuma hugged Kato Megumi, his heart was at peace and joy, and he was filled with a faint sense of happiness.

Everything continued, everything was fine, everything seemed to have returned to the beginning, and even time stopped for them.

The moment they hugged each other, a faint light appeared in the darkness, like fireflies that can only be found in the night, illuminating this small detention room.

"Hui, you know, someone once asked me a question -

Do you love your wife or Kato Megumi as a person?

If Kato Megumi had not become your wife and you had married someone else, would you still love her?"

Lin Hezhen rested his chin on her shoulder and said softly.

"Then...how did you answer?" Kato Megumi's body trembled slightly, like a leaf in the wind, feeling hesitant and uneasy.

She didn't dare to think about it because she was afraid the answer would be no.

Lin Hezhen did not answer immediately, but continued to narrate: "That person said that I didn't dare to face my feelings at all."

"I love you because you are my wife and I feel I should love you. Everything I do is out of responsibility rather than my own feelings."

"Hui, do you think he is right?" Lin Hezhen asked softly.

Kato Hui was silent for a moment, then raised her head and stared at him seriously: "If it was before, I thought he was right, you loved me out of responsibility...but now, I don't know."

“Kazuma, it doesn’t matter what I think or what he thinks. What matters is – your thoughts.”

"Do you think you love me?" Kato Megumi took a deep breath and asked bravely.

Lin Hezhen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled brilliantly and hugged her tighter: "Of course, I love you! Not only because you are my wife, but also because you are Kato Megumi, my beloved girl!"

"Even if you ask me a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times, my answer will be the same - Lin Hezhen loves Kato Megumi, and this heart will never change!"

After that, he knelt on one knee, raised the diamond ring, and said solemnly: "Hui, marry me!"

He once dreamed of his wedding with Kato Megumi, but the memory was like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, illusory and ethereal, making people doubt whether it really existed.

And now, he proposed to Kato Megumi again!

Compared to the wedding in his dream, this proposal felt more real and sincere, filling his heart with anticipation and excitement.

"Hui, promise me and marry me." Lin Hezhen pleaded again.

His expression was so serious, so pious, his eyes were full of affection and tenderness, extremely focused, extremely ardent...

Kato Megumi looked at him, tears flowing uncontrollably, drop by drop, like crystal clear pearls, falling on the floor.

"I am willing... to marry you..." Kato Megumi held back her tears and nodded vigorously, while slowly extending her hand and stretching her slender ring finger in front of him.

"That's great!" Lin Hezhen excitedly held her hand and put the diamond ring on Kato Megumi's ring finger.

The diamond on the ring setting was so dazzling that one could not take his eyes off it, just like the woman in front of him, his beloved woman, so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

"Thank you, Hui...thank you for marrying me, and...I love you!"

Lin Hezhen hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her soft hair excitedly.

"I love you too......"

Kato Megumi narrowed her eyes, a slight curve appeared at the corners of her mouth, and her cheeks were slightly flushed, like the morning glow reflected on the snow, which was intoxicating.

She stretched out her hands and gently wrapped them around Lin Hezhen's neck, offering her sweet and soft lips.

This passionate kiss brought the two loving hearts closer and made the fire in the depths of their hearts burn more and more vigorously.

Time seemed to stop at this second, and the whole world became silent, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

The two hugged each other and exchanged their feelings. At this moment, their hearts were pure and happy.

Kato Megumi pressed her cheek against Lin Hezhen's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and smelling his unique and fresh masculine scent. She seemed to hear the most beautiful melody in the world and felt so at ease.

This time, she really didn't plan to let go of his hand, nor did she plan to escape again.

She wanted to walk with him forever, through the long years, through the vicissitudes of life, through all the difficulties and obstacles, until forever, forever...

......

At two o'clock in the afternoon, kindergarten was over. Mei ran out of the classroom excitedly with her schoolbag on her back, but she didn't see the figure she was expecting.

"Mei, let's go home." Sakurajima Mai walked forward and took her daughter's hand, saying with a smile.

She looked good today, and her delicate makeup couldn't hide the joy between her brows. It seemed that she was in a very good mood after a night of vigorous exercise.

"Mom, why doesn't my dad come to pick me up?" Mei said with a pout.

"Your dad has something to do and won't be able to come for the time being. Let's go home first. When dad is done with his work in the evening, he will come to play with you." Mai Sakurajima coaxed gently.

"Okay...Mom, you have to let Dad come home early today!" Mei said unwillingly.

"I know. Be good and get in the car with mom!" Mai Sakurajima agreed with a smile.

"Okay." Mei pouted sullenly, but was eventually pulled into the car by Sakurajima Mai.

Mai Sakurajima carried Mei into the child safety seat, went to the driver's seat, fastened her seat belt, then started the car and left.

There was soothing music playing in the carriage, and the beautiful melody lingered in my ears like flowing water.

Xiao Meiyi had no mood to appreciate it. She looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh!"

"What's wrong, Mei? Do you miss your daddy?" asked Sakurajima Mai.

"Yeah, I miss my dad very much." Mei nodded honestly, "Mom, can you let Dad spend more time with me?"

"Then when dad comes over in the evening, if you act coquettishly with him, dad will definitely agree." Mai Sakurajima said with a smile.

"Really? Great!" Mei opened her eyes wide and cheered.

Using her daughter to tie down Hayashi Kazuma was part of Sakurajima Mai's plan.

Since they have agreed to Lin Hezhen's plan of "being happy together", the focus of the fight has changed from fighting for Lin Hezhen as a person to fighting for Lin Hezhen's companionship time.

Lin Hezhen likes Mei very much, and Sakurajima Mai is sure that this trick will work.

Although it's a bit despicable, who can blame others for not having children?

Even if the title of wife is taken by Kato Megumi, Sakurajima Mai will let them know who is the legal wife!

Chapter 355 The Place You Should Go

Although Sakurajima Mai agreed to become a member of Hayashi Kazuma's harem, this does not mean that the "battle for Hayashi Kazuma" has come to an end. Everything has just come to a temporary end.

In fact, the real battle has just begun, and they still need to fight with wits and courage.

Who has a higher status in Lin Hezhen's heart? We will have to wait and see.

Sakurajima Mai had a smile on her lips. She was very confident in herself. After all, she had Mei as her trump card.

Lin Hezhen loves her daughter very much. If she can win her love in this way, it may not be a bad thing for her.

Therefore, she must use Mei as her trump card to firmly grasp Lin Hezhen's heart and completely establish her position as the main wife.

Thinking of this, a smile of confidence appeared on Mai Sakurajima's lips.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Mei asked, tilting her head.

"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that the weekend is coming soon. When dad comes over later, Mei can ask him to go out and play together tomorrow." Sakurajima Mai suggested.

"Okay, okay!" Mei clapped her hands happily. "Then I will ask my dad to take me swimming tomorrow. We will go to the beach to catch crabs and lobsters. We will have a seafood dinner in the evening, and then he will tell me a story..."

"Okay, it's decided!" Mai Sakurajima touched her daughter's little face with a smile.

The mother and daughter imagined their happy life in the future, talking and laughing along the way, and the car was filled with a warm atmosphere.

No one noticed that a large truck loaded with cargo was quietly following their car.

The truck driver was wearing a baseball cap, and his face was mostly covered by the brim and mask, so his specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

Only two eyes were exposed, flashing with cold light, staring at Sakurajima Mai.

......

On the other side, Yukinoshita Yukino had just returned to the police station from the old house and was handling official business when there was a sudden and hurried knock on the door.

"Please come in!" Yukinoshita Yukino said indifferently.

The door of the office opened and a police officer walked in with a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" Xueno asked confusedly.

The police officer panted and said, "Superintendent Yukinoshita, I just received a report that a major traffic accident occurred in the port area 20 minutes ago. A car was rear-ended by a truck behind it, and then hit the truck in front..."

Yukino frowned. "Have the traffic team already arrived at the scene? Why did they specifically notify our criminal team? Isn't this just an ordinary traffic accident?"

The police nodded and said, "Yes, after our colleagues from the traffic team learned the identity of the deceased, they suspected that it was related to the recent 'serial murder case' and immediately notified us."

"Who is the deceased?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked, with a vague ominous premonition in her heart.

The other party replied: "There are two dead people, a mother and a daughter. The mother's name is Sakurajima Mai and the daughter's name is Sakurajima Mei."

"How could it be them?!" Yukino stood up suddenly, her eyes full of shock.

Of course she knew about the relationship between Mai Sakurajima and Kazuma Hayashi, and she even suspected that the daughter born to Mai Sakurajima was Kazuma Hayashi's child.

The victims turned out to be them!
