Chapter 571: Sheng Xiao’s Confidence
Grandpa Sheng followed the doctor and saw Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi, and the specialists in the meeting room.
Then, his doctor entered the meeting room and presented all the treatment plans in front of Sheng Xiao. “Chief Sheng, I believe the specialists have explained Old Mr. Sheng’s condition to you already. They should have told you that after our discussion and research, we still think that it’s best to persuade Old Mr. Sheng to undergo the operation as soon as possible. The chance of a successful operation is thirty five percent and his current condition can still be counted as optimistic. If we delay it any further, when the cancer metastasizes to other parts of his body, it will be too late to do anything.”
“What about the surgical plan?” Sheng Xiao asked.
“There are currently two options for surgery. One is to go abroad. At present, the facilities abroad are more advanced. However, as far as the skills of this type of surgery is concerned, I will trust domestic doctors more. The chance of success of these two operations are almost the same. So, it depends on the guardian of the patient to decide.”
“This is my first time hearing that the situation is optimistic when the chance of success is not more than seventy percent.” Sheng Xiao sounded cold.
“Chief Sheng, we as doctors also hope that every patient can recover. However, humans are so weak in the face of diseases. We can only do our best.”
Sheng Xiao looked at the plans and put the treatment plan to be carried out in the country in front of the doctor. “You said that local doctors are more skilled.”
“The specialists you hired agree on this too. And one more thing, if we are to operate on the patient, he must agree on this as well. There are so many members in your family. Do you think you should inform them, Chief Sheng?”
“If I tell them, will the operation be able to be carried out?” Sheng Xiao asked in return.
Sheng Kai and Sheng Bowen would surely fight again.
Moreover, now that each of the Shengs had different thoughts in their minds, he was unsure whether or not they would want the old man to recover. Should he tell them then?
“I’ll think of a way to tell this to the patient,” said the doctor.
“I hope you will do your best.”
Grandpa Sheng did not expect Eighth Brother to come to the hospital and meet with the doctors for his sake.
Sheng Xiao obviously did not want to see him anymore. But, as the doctor said, not wanting to see did not mean that he would not care.
Grandpa Sheng only came out of the doctor’s office after Sheng Xiao had left.
“See?”
Grandpa Sheng nodded. “I didn’t expect to see this.”
Unexpectedly, the grandson that always went against him was the one who cared about his health the most. On the other hand, those who always talked sweetly to him were eyeing his legacy.
“Old Mr. Sheng, because of this, you have to make a choice.” The doctor handed him the treatment plan Sheng Xiao chose. “Now, we only need your agreement.”
Grandpa Sheng looked at the consent form and signed his name without hesitation.
“Don’t you need time to consider?”
“I trust Eighth Brother. But I don’t want the other Shengs to know about my operation, especially my other grandchildren. Doctor, I hope you can act with me. I want to be discharged from the hospital. After that, I will find an excuse to come back here again.”
Grandpa Sheng did not want to let Second Brother and his wife know about this matter. Otherwise, they might play dirty tricks behind his back again.
The doctor thought for a while and nodded. “Tell me your plan, and I’ll just play along.”
Among the grandchildren, only Eighth Brother was sincere to him.
But he had hurt him so many times before and pushed him away with his own hands.
…
After leaving the hospital, Mu Qiqi received a phone call from Feng Shanshan. “We’ve managed to recover from information from Shen Qing’s computer. There are a lot of photos of her with Xie Lin in the encrypted files. It is such a thrilling moment. Don’t you want to come?”
Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao. Although she was very excited, she told Feng Shanshan directly, “Since you have found the evidence, there will be nothing for me to do anymore. Just tell me the result afterward.”
“Okay then. We’ll talk about it tomorrow during class.”
Mu Qiqi wanted to go, but she wanted to be by Sheng Xiao’s side even more.
Sheng Xiao silently draped his arm around Mu Qiqi’s neck. He did not want to let go. He just wanted to hug her now.
“Are you going to tell Father and Mother about this?”
Sheng Xiao shook his head. “There’s no need to let more people know.”
It’s just fine to do it quietly.
That old man would not want to alert the other people as well, especially those who desired his money.
“What if… I mean, what if the operation fails?”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He hugged Mu Qiqi tighter. “We’ll talk about it when it happens.”
“I’m worried that Sheng Kai would cause havoc.”
“Even if there are ten Sheng Kais, I won’t let anything happen in front of me.”
This was Sheng Xiao’s confidence.
…
At the moment, Xie Lin was summoned to the police station again for another round of interrogation, because of the photos of him and Shen Qing in her computer.
“Sir, what can these tell you? If you think I killed her, you should show me proof,” said Xie Lin calmly. “You should be very clear that I was abroad when she died. If you have the evidence, you can come and arrest me. If not, I advise you not to waste my time here. Otherwise, I will file a lawsuit against you!”
The police officers in the interrogation room felt miserable. This man was so cunning. He did not fall into their traps, not even once.
Seeing this, Tang Yan felt that they must get new evidence, which was the reason why Xie Lin was abroad when Shen Qing died.
Once they made this clear, then there would be an answer for everything.
Just as Tang Yan went out of the police station to get his motorbike, he saw Feng Shanshan at the gate.
He didn’t think about this woman and did not have any burden for a whole day, but the moment he saw her, all the walls in his heart collapsed.
So, he stopped his motorbike in front of Feng Shanshan. “Where are you going? I’ll send you there.”
“It’s not necessary. You can just go. I’ve bought a car.” Feng Shanshan shook her car key in front of Tang Yan.
It seemed like she did not need him at all.
“You have got a place to stay?”
“Yeah, thanks to you.” Feng Shanshan nodded.
“Great.” After that, Tang Yan left the police station, leaving Feng Shanshan standing there in confusion.
Was the man trying to be nice to her?
Anyway, Feng Shanshan drove to her new house. Although she wasn’t exactly officially living there yet, she felt safe living beside Tang Yan’s house.
