Chapter 774: Relying on Him… His Actions Are Too Slow
“Regardless of how we look after the child, he’s the main culprit!” The woman pointed at Sheng Bowen, her tone sharp..
“The traffic police will give a clear explanation for the division of responsibilities. You guys should take good care of the child.”
After saying that, Mu Qiqi and Sheng Bowen left the hospital together.
However, after walking out of the hospital, Mu Qiqi turned to Xu Che and said, “I might have to trouble you tonight. I’m worried about that little girl. I think that the couple will wait for an opportunity to strike.”
Xu Che understood what Mu Qiqi meant, so he replied, “I’ll stay in the hospital. If anything happens, I’ll gather evidence in time.”
“It’s not just the couple. The nurses who act strangely also have to be paid attention to.”
If the statement of responsibility for the accident concluded that Sheng Bowen had escaped, then the sentence for serious injury and death were completely different.
Although Sheng Bowen could apply for a review and hire a lawyer to defend himself, a life had been compromised. No one wanted such a young child to be subjected to torture.
If this matter was finally found to be related to Sheng Kai, then no one would be able to deny what a vicious person he was.
“Xiao Qi, I’ve dragged you down again.” After Xu Che left, Sheng Bowen sighed. “Why must there be so many plots and schemes between people?”
“If you’re found guilty of escaping, you’ll be immediately detained. When you go back, discuss with the lawyer about the review and have him prepare to defend you.”
“Alright. I’ll send someone to look for the surveillance footage and meet with the lawyer. I’ll inform you as soon as I have any news.” Sheng Bowen nodded. Mu Qiqi had helped him so much, so he had no reason to be depressed. Besides, he still had to appease Ren Yufei and his grandfather when he got home.
What Mu Qiqi wanted to do tonight was investigate the background of the girl’s family.
If possible, it would be best if she could see the surveillance footage from the time of accident.
Half an hour later, Sheng Bowen sent Mu Qiqi back to the Banyan Courtyard. He wanted to apologize to his eighth brother in person, but it was too late in the night. He still had to rush home to appease the old man waiting for him.
Therefore, he could only wait until the matter of making amends was over.
Mu Qiqi thought that since Sheng Xiao had asked her to intervene in this matter, he would not personally intervene. Unexpectedly, when Mu Qiqi returned home, she found that the little girl’s information was already on the desk in the study.
The little girl’s name was Meng Jiayu. She was five years old. Her mother died right after giving to her, and her father died in a car accident when she was two years old. From then on, the little girl stayed with her grandparents. However, the high medical fees made the two elders fall ill one after another. In the end, the little girl’s aunt and uncle took guardianship over the child under the condition that the old man would transfer their house to the two of them.
Xiao Jiayu lived with her aunt and uncle for more than a year, but her condition was just getting worse.
The two of them often left her at the hospital and hired a nurse. They left her half-dead and never took the initiative to ask her about how it was at the hospital.
To put it bluntly, the two of them only wanted the house. They hoped that the child would die early so that they could reduce their burden quicker.
They didn’t have any bad records since they didn’t have a fixed job and lived off their elders.
“If it was for money, it would be easy to get rid of them. But now, these two are obviously being bewitched by someone and want Third Brother to suffer. I’m actually more worried about the child’s safety. I feel that whether it’s the greedy couple or the people behind them, they don’t want Xiao Jiayu to live.”
Mu Qiqi’s face darkened after reading the information.
“The background of such a little thing makes people feel angry and regretful.”
Sheng Xiao gave her a pat on the head when he heard her muttering. “We’ve found the surveillance footage of that road section. It’ll be delivered to you in half an hour.”
“So fast?”
“The people from Zhongteng went to look for it.”
Sheng Xiao knew better than anyone else what Sheng Bowen was going to face if they did not find out the truth soon.
The most important thing now was not only to prove that Sheng Bowen did not know about it, but also to find evidence that the couple had deliberately harmed Xiao Jiayu’s life.
It would only be useful if they did both.
“I thought you didn’t have time to care about this.”
“Damn him… His actions are too slow.”
No one could compare to Sheng Xiao in terms of foresight. This was what Mu Qiqi admired the most about Sheng Xiao.
“Then I’ll watch the surveillance footage before I go to sleep tonight, okay?”
Sheng Xiao looked at the time. It was already early the next day. If she was not allowed to watch it, she would probably not be able to sleep for the rest of the night. “This won’t happen again!”
“I have a feeling that we’ll definitely find something useful in the surveillance footage.”
..
On the other side, Sheng Bowen dragged his exhausted body into the living room. Ren Yufei and the rest of the Sheng family immediately came up to him.
“Third Brother, are you alright?”
“Bowen…”
“I’m fine. I’ve made you all worry.” Sheng Bowen shook his head. “All of you should go and rest. If you’re really fine, Huang Yao will be fine too.”
After the Sheng family expressed their concerns, they returned to their own rooms. Only Ren Yufei and Old Master Sheng were left, and their expressions were not as relaxed.
“I was chatting with the lawyer just now. The lawyer told me that the probability that you escaped is very high.” Old Master Sheng sat on the sofa and sighed. “Is the child alright?”
“She’s fine for now,” Sheng Bowen replied as he sat on the sofa.
“Third Brother, tell me honestly. Did someone set you up on purpose? Is tt… related to that bastard?”
Old Man Sheng was not a fool. After the surgery, his mind was a little slow. However, after thinking about it carefully, he would eventually understand.
“Grandpa, this is between us. I’m not afraid to fight with him.” Sheng Bowen neither admitted nor denied it because he knew that if he denied it, the old man might go to Sheng Kai.
“When I kicked him out, I thought that there might be such a day. I didn’t expect such a day to come so quickly.” Old Man Sheng let out a long sigh. “It’s been hard on you… Where’s Xiao Qi?”
“She scolded the couple in the hospital and went back to find evidence.” Sheng Bowen smiled. “If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to handle such a situation.”
Ren Yufei leaned against him. After hearing this, she felt very upset. “I… can’t help with anything.”
“Go to the police station tomorrow and explain this matter clearly. Yufei, don’t belittle yourself. Everyone has value, okay?”
Ren Yufei didn’t expect Sheng Bowen to comfort her. She immediately held his hand tightly. “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“My only hope now is for that child to live well… She’s really pitiful.”
