Chapter 803: I Look Miserable?
Xu Che had investigated Sheng Bowen’s situation in the detention center. He himself had not been put in a difficult position, but…
“Someone died in the detention center, right across from Third Young Master, and he was the last person that that person saw or spoke to. So he must have been traumatized.”
Xu Che told Sheng Xiao the results of his investigation.
Sheng Xiao frowned, but only for a second. “Since there’s nothing important, let’s put this matter aside. I need you to go to J City.”
Xu Che knew very well what was going on in J City.
“I’ve arranged for two people to approach Zhou Qin over there, but I’m worried about their safety. You go and help them. Do whatever it takes to ensure their survival.”
“Why do you have to get involved in this mess?” It was not that Xu Che was unwilling to go, but Sheng Xiao was not the kind of person who meddled in other people’s business. Even if Mu Qiqi really wanted to know the truth behind Bai Xinyi’s case, Sheng Xiao was not one to joke about other people’s lives.
“Whether or not Bai Xinyi’s case can be solved has nothing to do with me. However, I must find out what the person behind this wants to do with Sheng Kai or the Sheng family. Why does it have to Be Sheng Kai? Therefore, cooperating with Tang Yan is just what we need,” Sheng Xiao explained patiently, which was rare.
“I understand.”
“Go and come back as soon as possible. Also, no matter what you know or what you find out, as long as it’s a matter of safety, retreat immediately. I’ll only give you one week.”
“Okay.” Xu Che nodded. He knew the importance of these matters.
Mu Qiqi would definitely ask about it after noticing Xu Che’s absence, but it would not be difficult to take her mind off it. All he had to say was that he had gone home to visit his family, and it would make sense.

Sheng Xiao took over Huang Yao and carried out a complete overhaul of the company. Currently, the new map of Huang Yao was still being planned, so Sheng Xiao made adjustments to all of Huang Yao’s existing departments.
However, such a ruthless approach would definitely hurt the old employees. So, Sheng Xiao had people pacify them. The old employees had two choices. The first was to leave with a big compensation, and the second was to join Zhongteng, with the goal to remove these people from Huang Yao.
In just a few days, Huang Yao seemed to have been reborn and had a new vitality to it.
In two days, Huang Yao would hold the Chairman’s inauguration press conference. Everyone sighed and thought how everything had turned a full circle, that Huang Yao still returned to Shengxiao’s hands. If they had known earlier, why would they have wasted so much time?
In the evening, Mu Qiqi returned home. When she saw the tall and straight figure of her man, she was immediately obsessed. She quietly walked over and hugged the man from behind. “Xiao Xiao…”
“Mm.” Sheng Xiao hummed.
“You’re getting more and more seductive. You’re like an unattainable God,” Mu Qiqi mumbled. “Now that I’m hugging you, it feels a little unreal. I feel like I’ve blasphemed against the gods.”
“Blasphemy? On the bed?” The corners of Sheng Xiao’s lips curled up playfully.
“Huang Yao and Zhongteng are all yours now. Why do I feel like the burden on your shoulders is getting heavier and heavier? How miserable!”
Sheng Xiao turned around and carried Mu Qiqi to the study table to sit. He then placed his hands on both sides of her body. “I look miserable?”
“Am I wrong? Look at busy people. Their feet don’t touch the ground, they rush to eat, and in the end, they die of fatigue.”
“Do you know what is efficient?” Sheng Xiao hooked her chin and said, “For example, at this moment, I can handle business while… letting you…”
Mu Qiqi followed his gaze and knew what he was trying to do. She quickly blocked his line of sight and said, “You stinky hooligan.”
“Go out and get some water. I’ll take a shower right away.” Sheng Xiao patted her cheek and emphasized, “I’ll go with you…”
“I’m coming to your inauguration ceremony. Prepare a seat for me.” Mu Qiqi hooked her arm around Sheng Xiao’s neck and said, “I want to see when my man is the most handsome.”
“When am I not handsome?”
“When you bully me…” With that, Mu Qiqi crawled out of Sheng Xiao’s arms and walked briskly back to the bedroom.
Soon, Sheng Xiao finished his business and went back to the room. Mu Qiqi lay in the bathtub and waved at him. “Xiao Xiao, do you know why I feel that you’re miserable? It’s not because you’ve become the chairman, but because… you’re going to be thirty soon!”
When he heard this, a complex look appeared on Sheng Xiao’s face and it gradually turned dark…
A man at thirty was not confused. He was clearly very attractive at that age, but it was not easy for Mu Qiqi because she was not even twenty-two years old!
“In another two years, I’ll be able to call you Master Xiao…”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He crossed his long legs and entered the bathtub. He pressed Mu Qiqi into the bathtub and taught her a lesson.
“Do you still think I’m old? Hmm?”
“You only know how to bully me…” Mu Qiqi pouted.
Because of her age, she had hit a certain someone where it hurt. That night, he pressed Mu Qiqi onto the bed and bullied her over and over again.
In the later half of the night, Mu Qiqi could not take it anymore and begged for mercy. “I was wrong… Master Xiao, I was wrong. You’re not old at all. Really, you’re still full of energy!”
Sheng Xiao drained her of all her energy before he let her go and held her in his arms.
Mu Qiqi was so tired that she could not even lift her eyelids. She only mumbled, “After a while, I’ll give birth to a child for you. You’re already at the age of a father… You can’t lose to someone your own age.”
Who cared?
He could not even control this one. If another one came, wouldn’t it be like going to heaven?
..
Ever since he handed over Huang Yao, Sheng Bowen’s spirit had returned. He had completely thrown away the burden on his body.
Seeing that, Sixth Brother also accepted his fate. “There are so many brothers in the family, and it’s really only Eighth Brother alone who’s supporting this family. It’s really not easy”
“Since you know that it’s not easy for him, do you still bear a grudge against him?” Sheng Bowen approached Sixth Brother and asked. “Grandpa was biased toward him in the past, and it’s not without reason.”
“I also suddenly understand why grandpa protected Eighth Brother in the past. In fact, it’s not just because he likes him, but also because he knows that only he can keep the Sheng family in peace.” Sixth Brother sighed. He knew that his talent was not good enough and he could not handle big things. “So, I plan to withdraw from Huang Yao. Anyway, Huang Yao doesn’t lack or need a mediocre person like me.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“I want to try the education industry…” Sixth Brother answered. “We’ve got some connections.”
“Don’t mislead other people’s disciples.” Sheng Bowen laughed. “But this is pretty good.”
“What about you? What are your plans after leaving Huang Yao?”
“I still have very important things to do,” Sheng Bowen answered, tight-lipped. There were some things that he wanted to figure out. Was it because he was honest that he was destined to be a target for others to hurt?
