Chapter 821: Do You Really Think I’m God?
“Xu Che got something, didn’t he?”
Sheng Xiao looked at her wet head as she did not dry it. He put down the document in his hands, held her hand, and went back to the bedroom. “Sit down.”
Mu Qiqi enjoyed such pampering. She half-closed her eyes and took a long time to recover, only then did she hear a voice from above her head. “It’s the Shen family’s opponent who’s stirring up trouble behind our backs. That’s why they see us as a thorn on their side. From tonight onward, you have to forget about Bai Xinyi’s case. That’s because it’s not a big fish that we can catch. Since there’s still time, the enemy won’t act rashly for the time being. But Tang Yan will be in more danger.”
“They are afraid that Tang Yan will continue to investigate. It’s also because of Cheng Bin.” Mu Qiqi understood immediately and no longer smiled cheekily. “You’re asking me not to pay attention to it. Of course, I will listen to you. But what about Captain Tang and Feng Shanshan?”
“If there are any clues, I will set up a trap with Tang Yan. So, no matter what I do in the future, don’t ask. After the matter is over, I will give you a complete answer.”
Was that respectful enough?
Mu Qiqi nodded. “As long as you let me know, that’s enough. I won’t ask for details. This isn’t a place for me to watch a show.”
The safety of her two friends mattered the most here.
“You’re sensible now.” Sheng Xiao dried her hair and ran his slender fingers through it. The fragrance assailed his nostrils. It was very pleasant indeed.
“But you have to promise me that you’ll protect them.”
“Do you really think I’m God?” Sheng Xiao put down the hair dryer and stared at her head.
Before he got up, Mu Qiqi hugged him. “I don’t care if you’re God or not. I just believe in you.”
“I have to go to the Shen family later. You go to bed early.”
“Got it.” Mu Qiqi nodded, reassuring him.
There was no one left in the Sheng family to negotiate with, but the Shen family had. Fortunately, the Shen family still had Grandfather and Father. This way, at least Xiao Xiao would have less responsibility.
Late at night, Sheng Xiao went to the Shen family.
Old Master Shen wore his reading glasses and looked at the photos as he snorted heavily. “A bunch of trash. They don’t do proper work and only go down the crooked path. But it’s actually meaningless. The Shen family has to uphold justice for the people. But the fact that we’ve implicated you juniors… It makes me uneasy.”
“Eighth Brother Sheng, don’t worry. Your father-in-law has already decided to leave the mountain. If there’s something you can’t do, let him handle it.”
“There’s no need to go that far.” Sheng Xiao came over with the intention of reminding the Shen family to be on guard and prepare for the future as soon as possible. For him, the most important thing was the safety of his entire family.
“Protect Xiao Qi well. She’s your heart and soul. It’s easy for her to become someone else’s target. Moreover, she’s the daughter of the Shen family.”
“I understand the severity of this matter.”
Old Master Shen looked at Sheng Xiao. This man was mature and steady now, so there was nothing for him to worry about. Although Xiao Qi was a little mischievous, she had never lost to anyone when it came to matters of right and wrong. Therefore, Old Master Shen believed that no matter how big the difficulty was, it would not be an obstacle too high for this couple to overcome.
Now that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, they had to be careful so that they could get through this safely.
..
Jin Bo’s men searched the entirety of J city, but they could not find the informants.
“Damn the police. I didn’t expect that even with the hotel on high alert, the cops still were one step ahead. How disgusting,” Su Hong told Jin Bo over the phone. “Sir, what should we do now?”
“Recently, the situation has been tense. Control yourself and don’t give them any more chances. I’ll think of a way to deal with the police.” Jin Bo comforted him calmly. “Don’t tell anyone that the hotel was broken through by the police. Those people are timid and wouldn’t be able to withstand the shock.”
“I understand.”
“Get rid of Bai Xinyi’s mother. Don’t kill her. She’s standing free right now. Be careful.”
As for the rest, when Cheng Bin was ready, Tang Yan would be handed over to him to handle. Of course, Cheng Bin alone was definitely not enough. He had to find him a helper.
After Shen Yu’s death, Cheng Bin put his life on the line. He knew that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to pay a price. He was not as naive as Sheng Kai.
Three days later, Cheng Bin received a call from Jin Bo. “I’ve arranged a helper for you. He’ll be here tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Master Jin.”
“Take care of Tang Yan. I’ll be waiting for your good news.”
Cheng Bin hoped that the person sent by Jin Bo was not someone like Shen Yu. In a sense, it would be helpful to him.
So, the next day, he went to the airport to pick him up. He held a sign in his hand. He thought that it would be a man, but soon, he realized that it was a tall and beautiful woman wearing sunglasses.
“I’m Song Qiaozhi, a doctor. I have my own arrangements in Jianchuan. You didn’t have to pick me up. Keep in contact with me on the phone. During the rest of the day, it’s best if you don’t meet me, because you’re so ugly.”
The woman did not care about Cheng Bin’s welcome. She dragged her suitcase and quickly left in her fashionable high heels.
Cheng Bin was speechless.
Wasn’t she even worse than Shen Yu?
Cheng Bin was very confused about this, so he called Jin Bo. “Master Jin… What’s the use of sending a woman to me?”
“Don’t underestimate her. You’ll find out later.” Jin Bo did not explain too much, his tone rather mysterious.
Cheng Bin was still not convinced. If Master Jin wanted to help him with only “providing” a woman, he would rather do it himself.
Perhaps knowing that he would be that way, Song Qiaozhi sent Cheng Bin a message after settling down. “Shallow man. I heard that Tang Yan’s woman is pregnant, and I’m an obstetrician.”
Did such a reminder need to be made clearer?
No.
Cheng Bin suddenly understood Jin Bo’s intention. It was useless to use brute force against men, especially men like Tang Yan who had strong individual combat abilities. His weakness was the same as Sheng Xiao’s—their women.
This was especially true for pregnant women. As long as he had Feng Shanshan in his hands, would Tang Yan not be at his mercy?
He had to stay calm. All he needed to do now was wait for the signal from Song Qiaozhi and wait for the right time to strike.
..
After the incident with Shen Yu, things seemed to have calmed down again. Sheng Bowen’s case was handled by the Sheng family’s lawyer, and it would be heard in court a month later.
As long as no one interfered, Sheng Bowen had a good chance of being proven innocent.
On the other side.
They had originally agreed that this was a gift for Sheng Kai, but now that the relationship between Sheng Kai and Jin Bo was rocky, and Jin Bo had lost Shen Yu, Jin Bo naturally couldn’t sacrifice any more for Sheng Kai.
Sheng Kai understood his current situation, and he wasn’t willing to accept it. But at the same time, he didn’t want to be used by Jin Bo and die a tragic death in the end.
So he curled up in Changrong’s office all day long. He wanted to escape, but he knew that he could not.
