Chapter 726: You’ve Learned How to Hide Secrets in Your Heart
Sheng Kai had taken advantage of the Hu family, which made Sheng Xiao look down on him.
Even though Hu Ran and Gu Ziling had been at loggerheads with each other, Papa Hu had never made things difficult for them. However, he wanted Papa Hu to pay the price for her past grudges.
From the looks of it, Sheng Kai was a petty person who would take advantage of anyone who did not do things his way.
“Xiao Xiao, what are you thinking about?” Mu Qiqi noticed Sheng Xiao was suddenly silent, so she waved her hand in front of him. “Are you really sick?”
“Yes, I’m sick. You gotta heal me now!” With that, Sheng Xiao carried Mu Qiqi like a princess and left the study.
Had Mu Qiqi known that whatever she said would trigger his desire, she would definitely not have said much. She now knew that he was not one to be provoked at night.
Such vigour had both G.o.d and man furious.
After they were done, when she was so tired that she could not even lift a finger, her man was still able to take her to the shower in high spirits. Mu Qiqi could only lie in the bathtub as she fell asleep.
Sheng Xiao carried the sleeping person back to the bed and covered her with the blanket. Only then did he return to the study to call Sheng Bowen.
Sheng Bowen had just laid down and was not expected to receive a call from him.
“What’s up?”
“Tell me again about the discovery of the new Huang Yao product from the beginning to the end. Don’t leave out anything.”
“You have a new discovery?” Sheng Bowen immediately got up from the bed and went to the desk to get a pen and paper.
“I don’t. That’s why I’m looking for it.”
Sheng Bowen knew what Sheng Xiao’s brain was made of, so he tried to be as clear as he could. He immediately began to recall the events and told Sheng Xiao about everything and everyone involved.
“When Qiqi told me about Third Master Long, the vice president of Huang Yao and I had already collected several batches of imitations. Five batches in total, all of which are used to investigate the source of the leak.”
“Those five batches of imitations were all in Huang Yao?”
“Yes. “Sheng Bowen asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”
“Get the five batches of imitations now. I’ll come over immediately. Just the two of us, let’s check all the five batches,” Sheng Xiao said.
“You… why are you suspecting these imitations?”
“I’m not suspecting the fakes. I just feel that things have been laid out too deliberately. If you go to Third Master Long, you’ll definitely become enemies with him. Sheng Kai is not capable of using him against you or the Sheng family. Third Master Long isn’t stupid, and it’s impossible for Sheng Kai to use him.
“Sheng Kai seems to be deliberately diverting your attention so that you can deal with Third Master Long with all your strength. Therefore, I suspect that Sheng Kai will set a trap for you somewhere else.
“That’s why we can’t let go of anyone or anything that’s involved!”
“Alright, I’ll call Yufei right away.”
“Just inform her alone. Don’t alarm the vice-presidents,” Sheng Xiao instructed.
“I understand.”
Sheng Kai had set up a plan surrounding Third Master Long while letting Gu Ziling sow discord between him and the Hu family. It was indeed very suspicious.
After ending the call, Sheng Xiao put on his brown windbreaker and prepared to go out.
However, Mu Qiqi had woken up. She grabbed his arm. “Where are you going?”
“I have something to do.”
Mu Qiqi lifted the blanket and got up. “I’ll go with you.”
Sheng Xiao frowned but did not object. After all, this little one was a forensic doctor. Her sense of smell and hearing were exceptional, so she would be a good partner to bring along.
“Change your clothes.”
When Mu Qiqi heard these three words, she immediately laughed out loud. “Wait for me, I’ll be done soon!”
Soon, the two of them drove out. On the way, Mu Qiqi peeked at Sheng Xiao’s profile many times.
“You’ve learned how to hide secrets in your heart.”
“I naturally won’t tell you things that shouldn’t be known by children,” Sheng Xiao answered frankly. “If I don’t tell you, you should pretend that you don’t know.”
“Hmph.” Mu Qiqi snorted. “Yes, I know my limits.”
On the other side, Sheng Bowen also drove to Ren Yufei’s apartment and picked her up. The four of them entered Huang Yao’s warehouse together.
“The five batches of imitations are all here.” Ren Yufei held the list and said, “I’ve just checked the data and there’s nothing wrong. There are twenty pieces per unit, 100 pieces per five batches, and 500 pieces here.”
“It seems that we have a lot of work to do tonight.” Sheng Bowen looked at the tall box and was a little annoyed.
“Are you going to check all five batches of imitation goods?”
“These five batches were collected from other places in order to find out the channels through which the blueprints were leaked. These fakes have nothing to do with Third Master Long,” Sheng Bowen explained. “Xiao Qi, your nose is the best. Smell it and see if you can sense anything out of the ordinary.”
“F*ck you, I’m not a dog!” Mu Qiqi glared at him and said, “This is Xiao Xiao’s personality. He will definitely check every single one.”
“Since you understand, then don’t spout so much nonsense. Let’s begin.”
There were four people, and each of them had an average of 125 pieces. Opening the decorative boxes would only take a few seconds, so these 500 pieces of imitations did not take much effort.
“Tomorrow, you’ll have to check the vice president and the person who handled them all.” Sheng Xiao opened the boxes as he said to Sheng Bowen, “Now that the enemy is in the open and we’re in the dark, we can only control every link so that there is no loophole to exploit.”
“It’s simply impossible for me to have such a meticulous mind like yours.”
Sheng Bowen could not help but admit defeat.
“It’s the result of years of experience. It’s not innate.” Sheng Xiao gestured to him. That was the result of the day-after-day training.
Sheng Bowen shrugged and began his work.
Most of the jewelry box was opened and sealed in no time. There were no clues.
“Fakes are fakes. The value of the crystals inside might not even be as valuable as the boxes.” Sheng Bowen sighed.
Mu Qiqi’s mind suddenly started whirring. “The box?”
“What’s wrong?”
Mu Qiqi did not answer him immediately. Instead, she took out the heaviest box she had handled. Then, she took out the fake jewelry and the stuffing inside. Finally, she felt its weight in her hand and felt that the weight did not seem quite right.
“Give me the knife!”
Sheng Xiao hurriedly handed it to her.
Mu Qiqi took the knife and smoothly cut open the interlayer of the jewelry box. Sheng Bowen was greatly impressed. “I can finally imagine what you look like when you dissect a corpse.”
However, Mu Qiqi could not smile because she took out a small bag of white stuff from the interlayer.
“What’s that?”
Mu Qiqi opened it and sniffed it. Then, a chemical term left her lips. “Diacetylmorphine!”
“Huh?”
“It’s something that makes you addicted and just can’t stop taking it!” Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes at him, wanting to smash his head.
