Chapter 595: It Serves You Right if She Gets Revenge on You
“It’s just official business,” Tang Yan said rather coldly.
With this, the professor stopped asking, for he knew Tang Yan would not explain further.
If he explained, it would be just as good as him denying an open secret. However, since he said it was just official business, it would mean that Tang Yan was not interested in Feng Shanshan.
“Mu Qiqi did not come today.”
“There are many problems living in a rich family. Qiqi does not have it easy.” The professor stood up for Mu Qiqi. “With her status, she still came here to work in this small police station. I’m very satisfied with her already.”
“What did I say?” Tang Yan frowned and looked at the professor.
“You’re the team leader now. The whole team is yours. I’m just afraid that you won’t want Xiao Qi.”
“Compared to her, I want Feng Shanshan to go home more.”
Tang Yan was speaking the truth, but the professor covered his mouth. “Aren’t you scared that people might hear you? That girl is narrow-minded. It serves you right if she gets revenge on you.”
…
In the evening, the sun was setting in the sky of Jianchuan.
After Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi back to Jianchuan, he did not immediately go to pick on Sheng Kai. Instead, he sorted and brought all the evidence to Grandpa Sheng who was lying on the hospital bed.
The grandson was his and the butler was also his. The choice was all Grandpa Sheng’s.
The doc.u.ments were sent to Grandpa Sheng by the doctor, so Gu Ziling was not aware of it.
Grandpa Sheng wanted to ask the doctor something without letting other people hear it, so the doctor made an excuse, saying that he wanted to check on Grandpa Sheng, and asked everyone to leave the room.
“I want to go back to Sheng Mansion once to take care of some matters. I will come back later.” Grandpa Sheng begged the doctor.
“Old Sheng, you know the operation you had is no ordinary one. Your recovery is already slow and still you want to make yourself so tired. Your wound needs to heal.”
“If the matter is not dealt with, I will have trouble sleeping and eating,” said Grandpa Sheng.
“The postoperative complications after your operation still have not been eliminated completely. I can’t stop worrying about this. If you insist on going out, then you must promise me to keep yourself calm? If you can, I will give you two hours.”
“I promise.”
Grandpa Sheng hadn’t even seen his great-grandchildren, how would he be willing to let anything happen to him?
So, he would hand over Sheng Kai’s matter to Sheng Bowen. Only then, he would make his decision. He would not argue and fight anymore. It was not worth it.
After getting the permission from the doctor, Grandpa Sheng called Sheng Bowen to ask him to gather all the Shengs at eight o’clock.
Sheng Bowen roughly guessed that it might be related to the butler. But what if he thought too much?
So, he made a call to Sheng Xiao. “How’s the butler now?”
“How do you know I will interfere?”
“Grandpa wants us to gather at eight. So, I’m guessing that you have the result already,” said Sheng Bowen. “Eighth Brother, I know you are not a ruthless person.”
“Since Grandpa summoned all of you, you should just go back. There is no need to call me. I’m not part of the Sheng family anymore.” And he hung up.
Seeing Grandpa Sheng’s decision to face this matter, that would mean that Sheng Kai was out of the game already.
It didn’t matter that Sheng Kai was kicked out, but could Grandpa Sheng’s body take it?
To be honest, Sheng Xiao hesitated before handing the doc.u.ments over to Grandpa Sheng. Because he knew how destructive the bomb was.
But up until now they still could not be sure if the butler was dead or alive. He was lying in the ICU now. Was Sheng Kai not responsible for this? If he’s not held liable, he would only be more fearless in the future.
On the way back, Grandpa Sheng tried to call Sheng Xiao. “Eighth Brother, are you… not coming back?”
“No,” said Sheng Xiao, “Third Brother and the rest will be there, so my presence will not be significant. Second Brother will know I interfered, so you don’t have to make him hate me more.”
“Okay then.”
Grandpa Sheng still regarded Sheng Xiao as part of the family. However, Sheng Xiao did not have much feelings for the Sheng family anymore. Banyan Courtyard was his home now. Where Xiao Qi was, was where he should stay.
…
All the Shengs received the news to go back before eight. Since it was Sheng Bowen who informed them, they thought it was him who wanted to see them for updates. They did not even know that Grandpa Sheng had gone home.
Sheng Kai guessed it in his heart, but now that he had messed up with the butler’s matter, his mind was in a bigger mess.
The butler committed suicide and the lawyer ran away when he realized something was not right. Now, the police were taking care of the case accordingly and did not threaten the butler further.
Sheng Kai knew that things went badly because he was still a novice.
However, Gu Ziling stayed by Grandpa Sheng’s side all the time, so he might not have received the news. So, as long as Third Brother did not speak of any nonsense, he could still control the situation.
Sheng Bowen went home early and saw Grandpa Sheng already sitting on a wheelchair in his study.
He was surprised. “Grandpa, you should stay in the hospital for recovery.”
“I got two hours from the doctor. Now, look at these.” Grandpa Sheng pa.s.sed the doc.u.ments to Sheng Bowen. “Eighth Brother sent these to me, although I don’t know how he managed to get them.”
Sheng Bowen played the recording first. His face showed great anger after listening to it. Then, it was news about the butler.
“Grandpa, is this for real?” Sheng Bowen could not believe it. He knew Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling were stubborn, but he did not expect them to go as far as harming a human life. To make things worse, it was the man who had served the Sheng family for so many years.
“When Second Brother comes back, you go and confront him. I don’t want to do it, nor I want to fight,” said Grandpa Sheng. “You should make things clear in front of everyone. I think it’s time to put an end to this.”
Hearing this, Sheng Bowen was shocked. “What do you mean?”
“You will know when we have the family meeting,” said Grandpa Sheng.
Sheng Bowen guessed that Grandpa Sheng wanted to chase them out of the family, but what he did not know was that the old man wanted to be even more ruthless.
“Then, for the sake of your health, you shouldn’t come out first. I don’t want you to see their faces.”
“Just go.” Grandpa Sheng waved his hand.
Their faces?
It’s not that he hadn’t seen them before. Why must he avoid them?
However, to a.s.sure Sheng Bowen and to give Sheng Kai a “surprise”, Grandpa Sheng stayed in the study and did not come out right away.
Meanwhile, the Shengs arrived at the door of Sheng Mansion one by one, including Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling.
“Third Brother, what do you want to do this time? You get all of us here and now there is no one to take care of Grandpa.” Sheng Kai complained to Sheng Bowen.
