Chapter 980: You’re a Father Now
Sheng Xiao went to Huang Yao because the Sheng and Shen families were family. They had had a very harmonious relationship over the past few years, so it was inevitable that he would be affected by this.
However, the entire Sheng family and Huang Yao had been handled properly by Sheng Kai. Even with Sheng Xiao there, there was nothing else he could do.
“Since you’ve done so beautifully, then I have nothing to worry about. I’m leaving.” Sheng Xiao put on a brown coat and black gloves and was about to leave with Xu Che.
However, Sheng Kai caught up to him and said, “Eighth Brother, just take good care of the Shen family. Leave the Sheng family to me.”
“Of course, I’ll leave it to you. Don’t forget, I married into the Shen family a long time ago.” After saying this, the corners of Sheng Xiao’s lips curled up. There was a hint of relief in his smile. He could leave with peace of mind and leave this brand-new Huang Yao.
Now that there were external enemies, it was fortunate that the Sheng family was no longer in a state of disunity. As long as the family was united, it would be easy for them to get through this difficult situation.
..
However, the matter did not remain hidden from Old Master Shen for long. After all, he had friends too.
He naturally knew that something had happened to his second son last night when he received a few calls from his old friends. No one in the family had told him about it.
Thinking of this, Old Master Shen returned home from the hospital. When he got home, he asked Huang Yu, “Where’s your husband?”
Huang Yu did not know that Old Master Shen would be back so soon, so she could not answer him.
“Why didn’t you tell me that something so big had happened?”
Huang Yu was shocked. She knew that the cat was out of the bag, so she explained, “We were afraid that you would be worried.”
“Call Big Brother immediately and ask Old Master Sheng to come over as well.” Old Master Shen put his hands behind his back and snorted angrily. “I’m not a persimmon. I don’t get soft just because someone pinched me.”
Huang Yu quickly did as she was told.
After contacting Shen Jianchuan, she called Sheng Xiao before going to her room to wake her husband up. Then, the whole family of men had a meeting in the living room.
“Dad, it was my fault. I didn’t do a good job and I’ve let you down.”
“What did you do wrong that you need to apologize to me? You only saved them. There’s no need for that.”
The mother and daughter that Mayor Shen saved were criminals on the run. At that time, they were getting beat up by a man in the streets and no one helped them. Mayor Shen got out of the car to save them and asked his secretary to send them to the hospital. However, no one expected the mother and daughter pair were actually arranged by Song Jiang to trap Mayor Shen. Moreover, there were many unknown secrets behind it.
Everything was arranged by the secretary. And since the police could not catch them, they were now suspected to be involved or even accomplices.
Old Master Shen sat on the chair and said, “I should have expected that Song Jiang, that scum, would choose this particular period to make his move. This is a grudge that happened more than twenty years ago. It should have been settled by me long ago.”
“Second Brother, your situation is very tense now. It’s not convenient for you to go out. You stay at home and wait for the investigation.
“Big Brother, although I know you don’t want me to negotiate with Song Jiang, I want to meet him to talk about this matter. I want to see that old bastard’s face. After all, the person he hates the most is me.
“As for Eighth Brother, you have already served as the shield for the Shen family many times. Don’t charge into battle anymore. You’re a father now. There’s still Jianchuan and me. I’m old, but I’m not stupid. There’s no need for you to leave me out of everything.
“Jianchuan, come out with me. This old man hasn’t moved in a long time. It’s time for me to go out and meet this old friend.”
Shen Jianchuan understood what the old man meant. They all knew about the incident from twenty-five years ago. The Shen family was now in a state of chaos because of it.
The old man had gotten to this point. It wasn’t that this matter couldn’t be settled.
It was just that Song Jiang’s methods were too despicable and shameless.
But no matter what, the Second Brother had already suffered a loss in this matter.
“Wait until the matter is investigated. Second Brother, you should make your own plans.”
“Dad, you don’t have to worry about me. I have a clear conscience.” Mayor Shen didn’t care about the villain at all.
“I don’t regret it at all. I made the decision twenty-five years ago. I only regret that I didn’t deal with that scumbag at the same time. That’s why so many innocent lives were lost. It’s really a sin…”
Since the old man had stepped in, Huang Yu didn’t try to do anything.
She did not care what her husband would do in the future. After all, he was not young anymore. Why not retire and enjoy a blissful life?
..
In order to clear Mayor Shen’s name, they had to start with the mother and daughter.
Why couldn’t the police find them? It was because Song Jiang had gone into hiding.
Of course, that would require the professionals to find them. Hence, after leaving the Shen family, Sheng Xiao gave Tang Yan a call. He was no longer in the frontlines because he was now the Deputy Chief of the branch office.
“I wonder if Deputy Chief Tang is free to follow up on Song Jiang’s case one last time?” Sheng Xiao sat in the car, but his gaze was fixed on the main door of the branch office.
“I heard the news,” Tang Yan answered Sheng Xiao directly and did not beat around the bush. “Bai Xinyi’s case has never been solved. Of course, I’m concerned. For personal reasons, I’m the Shen family’s godson-in-law. I can’t just stand by and do nothing when something happens to them. I know what you’re looking for. I’ve already gathered the basic information about the mother and daughter. As long as they’re in Jianchuan, they’ll definitely be found.”
“In terms of ability in looking for people, I believe in you in the entire Jianchuan.”
Sheng Xiao’s affirmation was extremely beneficial to Tang Yan.
He laughed and said, “Wait for my news.”
The mother and daughter were the source of everything.
They were also the key to sending Song Jiang to Hell.
After hanging up, Tang Yan called the trainee police officer, Lin Mu’an, into his office. “There’s something I want to hand over to you.”
“Please instruct me, Deputy Chief.” Lin Mu’an was very inspired by Tang Yan. After all, he was well-known in the police world.
“Take a look for yourself.” Tang Yan handed the documents to Lin Mu’an. “You are a newcomer. No one will notice you when you go out. I will give you one day to make a breakthrough. Only then will I qualify you.”
“Yes, Sir!” Lin Mu’an took the documents and left Tang Yan’s office.
This was his first test as a trainee policeman. Tang Yan gave him the task of searching for people.
Of course, when he did this, Tang Yan had already consulted the Chief. The few cases related to Bai Xinyi had nearly cost Old Cheng his life. He still owed Old Cheng.
The Chief knew that he couldn’t let it go, so he gave him three days.
Therefore, when Lin Mu’an went out to look for news, Tang Yan was going to disguise himself.
After all, he had promised Sheng Xiao that he would give him news as soon as possible.
Song Jiang’s time was up. However, it was unknown whether he would die at the hands of Sheng Xiao and the others or his own son.
