Chapter 967: Fooling Around?
Old Cheng was not angry. He just answered, “Mr. Song, are you afraid to go out?”
“What do you think? There’s a murderer outside!” Song Jiang pointed to the door.
“Then why did you ask him to help you in the first place?” Old Cheng crossed his arms. “Now you regret it?”
“Let me tell you, the police need evidence to substantiate their claims!”
Old Cheng shrugged, indicating that he had already shut up.
Song Jiang was so angry that his face turned red. However, he was helpless against the police, so he could only curse. There was nothing else he could do.
Old Cheng did not want to waste time on the Song family. He wanted to go with the team and follow up on Feng Qiang’s case.
His wish was quickly realized because Sheng Xiao had canceled his trip to Z City. In other words, he did not need to drag the pretense and remain with the Song father and son any longer. Since that was the case, what was there to protect?
Old Cheng immediately revealed an excited expression when he received the notice to end the trip.
“Master Song, I know you don’t want to see me. Now, as you wish, my colleagues and I will leave the Song family’s home. Please forgive us for disturbing you for the whole day.”
Song Jiang was stunned to hear that Old Cheng and the rest of the police officers were leaving. Although he was annoyed when the police were here, he was at least safe. Now that they were leaving, who would be responsible for his and Song Bozhi’s safety if Feng Qiang were to suddenly appear?
“No, shouldn’t the police give me an explanation? Do you come and go as you wish?”
“We need to gather forces to arrest Feng Qiang. If you have news of him, call the police immediately.” Old Cheng laughed with his hands on his waist. Then, he led all the other police officers out of the house.
Song Jiang was a little angry. “Are you playing with me?”
Song Bozhi came out of the room and saw his troubled father. He was a little disappointed. “You used to be quite good at pretending. You always face everything with a smile. What’s wrong now?”
“Feng Qiang murdered again!” Song Jiang sat on the chair and slammed the table. “I’m most afraid that he doesn’t want to live and will drag us both down with him.”
“There are still bodyguards around. Now, you can only pray that the police will solve the case as soon as possible.” Song Bozhi leaned on the table. “If I knew things would turn out to be such a disaster, I wouldn’t have suggested you bring him back.”
The father and son were talking in the living room when the maid suddenly barged in and said, “Master, Young Master, the water pipe in the house has burst. We’re asking the workers to deal with it. However, the leak is quite serious. I hope you can go upstairs so you won’t be affected.”
After Song Jiang heard this, he immediately kicked the chair. “Anything can happen!”
“You should go and ask Deputy Liang to protect you now.” Song Bozhi looked at his father with a smile. He was teasing him some more.
However, there was nothing they could do. The water pipe had burst, and the sound of running water could be heard from the kitchen. The two could only hang their heads and go up to the second floor. The servant immediately made a call and found a worker to fix the water pipe.
The worker wore a mask and a hat and carried a toolbox. After entering the Song family’s home, he didn’t even need to ask for directions as he immediately found the kitchen.
“You’re finally here. Hurry up and fix it. The water in the house is overflowing, and the main switch is broken.”
“Okay, please go out first.” The man put down the toolbox and spoke to the servant.
“Hurry up, the two male masters are getting angry upstairs!”
After saying that, the servant left the kitchen, and the worker immediately took out a few items from the box.
While he was repairing the water pipes, he also put something wrapped with black cloth in the cabinet.
If this was set on fire, the Song family’s home would be ruined in an instant!
And the two scumbags upstairs would also be crushed to pieces.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Mu Qiqi finally woke up after a good night’s sleep.
When she got up and saw that Sheng Xiao was not by her side, she hurriedly went downstairs.
“Xiao Qi, walk slowly.” Seeing her anxious expression, Mama Sheng knew what she was looking for. She then revealed a helpless smile. “Eighth Brother has gone to Zhongteng. He’s not going to Z City. Don’t worry.”
Mu Qiqi sighed in relief when she heard this. “I had a nightmare last night, so I was scared.”
“I’ve already talked to him in the morning. You’re about to give birth. I asked him to spend more time with you at home.” Mama Sheng helped Mu Qiqi sit down at the dining table. “Before he left, he got Fifth Aunt to prepare soup to calm your nerves. Drink it while it’s hot.”
Mu Qiqi nodded.
After breakfast, Feng Shanshan carried her son to the Banyan Courtyard.
“Why are you here?” Mu Qiqi walked around the living room with her stomach puffed out as she digested her food.
“Tang Yan went out in the middle of the night and hasn’t come back yet. I couldn’t sit still at home, so I brought the child over to see you,” Feng Shanshan explained as she carried her son.
“What happened now?” Mu Qiqi’s expression immediately changed.
“Another sanitation worker died,” Feng Shanshan said. “Feng Qiang did it. Some passersby provided clues, so Tang Yan is still at the scene.”
After hearing this, Mu Qiqi did not know how she felt. On one hand, she was glad that she had stopped Sheng Xiao from going out in time. On the other hand, she was filled with guilt toward those innocent lives.
“You’re still pregnant, so don’t think about anything else.”
Mu Qiqi did not speak for a long time. She then looked at Feng Shanshan and asked, “I’m quite selfish, aren’t I?” She did not want Xiao Xiao to take the risk, but she could only watch as Captain Tang searched for Feng Qiang everywhere and was in constant danger. “Feng Qiang’s target is me, not those innocent people. Although I don’t know why he wants me, he still hates me. This is undeniable.”
“Shanshan, do you blame me?”
“What can a pregnant woman like you do? Moreover, that is Tang Yan’s job. He’s a police officer, so it’s his duty and responsibility to investigate the case. Let’s not talk about the danger this time. Every time he carries out a mission, he always comes back with injuries, but this is his choice,” Feng Shanshan said with a chuckle. “I don’t blame you, nor do I blame him. I just… feel that it’s hard to endure.”
Mu Qiqi knew how worried she was about Sheng Xiao.
Feng Shanshan was just as worried about Tang Yan.
“It’s precisely because it’s hard to bear that I carried my son up here for a walk.”
After hearing these words, Mu Qiqi’s guilt grew because she felt that she should be the one to bear all of this.
“Don’t think so much. The child in your belly is important.”
“Shanshan, believe me. If I could, I would do whatever it takes to help Captain Tang solve the case. But right now, I’m really powerless.”
“You and Tang Yan are the most important people to me. I don’t want to lose anyone, so I really don’t blame you,” Feng Shanshan told Mu Qiqi seriously. “I’m just very worried. Old Cheng called and said that Tang Yan has already snuck into the slums.”
