Chapter 743: Don’t Even Dream About It
Sheng Kai’s G.o.dfather’s surname was Jin, and his first name was Bo.
Although he was the G.o.dfather in name, Sheng Kai had only met him a couple of times.
It was not often his G.o.dfather treated him to a meal, and Sheng Kai tried his best to please him. This G.o.dfather of his had a kind face and never put on airs. He was always nice and amiable to Sheng Kai.
“I know that you don’t like ostentatious things, so I brought you here…”
“Ah Kai, remember that if you want to protect your position for a long time, then you must understand that being low-key and inconspicuous is the best protection,” Jin Bo said earnestly to him as he drank his tea. “Tell me, what favor do you want me to help you with this time?”
“Last time… the matter with the Sheng family failed. Now the police are investigating me, and Third Master Long also wants to deal with me, so I came to seek your protection.” Sheng Kai poured some tea for Jin Bo, and his tone was very humble. “I… can’t hold my head up in front of my wife’s family. I can’t be a good person.”
“I see.” Jin Bo seemed to be thinking. “You don’t have to worry about the police, but Third Master Long might make you suffer a little.”
“Bring some gifts and apologize in person. We’re all friends, right? There’s no need to make a big fuss.”
Sheng Kai understood Jin Bo’s hidden meaning and immediately thanked him. “Thank you, G.o.dfather, for showing me the way…”
“You still have a lot to learn. There’s no rush. Take your time.”
Sheng Kai smiled apologetically and accompanied Jin Bo attentively to eat. He guessed that he was nowhere near Jin Bo’s level, but his G.o.dfather was willing to spend time and energy to teach him. This meant that he was… perhaps he had other uses, but even he himself did not know that.
No matter what, he had to solve the current desperate situation first.
“As for your wife, a man with a career will naturally be able to conquer a woman. This has been the case since ancient times. Don’t worry, since you’ve acknowledged me as your G.o.dfather, I will definitely not mistreat you. Sell your shares in Huang Yao and I’ll teach you how to make other investments.”
“Thank you, G.o.dfather.”
After hearing Jin Bo’s words, Sheng Kai felt at ease. Of course, he would follow Jin Bo’s instructions and personally pay a visit to deal with Third Master Long. He had messed up when dealing with the Sheng family. If he didn’t know how to deal with the aftermath, then he would really be useless.
It was already around 11 o’clock at night when he returned home after having dinner with Jin Bo. He reeked of alcohol, prompting Gu Ziling to question him, “With your current appearance, you still dare to go out to drink and fool around. Do you think that Grandfather will unconditionally let you off every time?”
Sheng Kai didn’t say anything. He directly dragged Gu Ziling out of the room and locked her outside the door.
Seeing this, Gu Ziling went mad with anger. She banged on the door hard, even startling her mother and grandfather.
“What’s the matter now?” Grandpa Gu asked Gu Ziling.
“Grandfather, look at this sc.u.mbag. He locked me outside the door and won’t let me in. He went out drinking and fooling around on his own. He’s even treating your granddaughter like this…”
Before Gu Ziling could cry, she was suddenly slapped by Grandpa Gu that she was dumbfounded.
“Can you not look for trouble every day? Can you behave like a proper rich young lady? Do you know that your husband went out to meet his G.o.dfather? You’re so annoying every day. Even if you’re not tired, I’m tired for you. Gu Ziling, if you don’t want to live a good life, you can leave this house. I won’t stop you. If you continue to yell at me at home, if you don’t behave, then get lost!”
She covered her face and didn’t dare to utter another word.
“You don’t know what’s good for you!”
Then, Grandpa Gu pulled Mama Gu away to go back to their rooms. Gu Ziling could only look at her bedroom door, her heart full of hate.
Sheng Kai, how dare you!
“No one can humiliate me, Gu Ziling. Don’t you want a child? Fine, I’ll grant your wish and raise another’s child.”
Of course, Gu Ziling had always liked strong men the most. She was unwilling to have any of the others. In her heart, Sheng Xiao was the only person who was strong.
However, Sheng Xiao would never have anything to do with her!
Don’t even dream about it.

Mu Qiqi joined the Forensics Department for a day. It was not for a complicated case. The deceased was a 23-year-old woman who had just graduated from an ordinary university and worked in an accounting firm. She had a regular boyfriend and had been poisoned. As she had just broken up with her boyfriend, she had died more than ten days ago on her bed at home.
Other than the suicide note, there were no other clue in the room, not even fingerprints. Therefore, this case was naturally ruled as suicide.
However, the professor borrowed her for a day. This meant that the professor still had some doubts about this matter.
Mu Qiqi and the professor carefully examined the body together. After that, Mu Qiqi and Officer Long went to the scene.
“There are so many of us. We’ve looked at the scene over and over, but we didn’t find anything suspicious. I don’t believe it. The branch can’t afford to lose you, Xiao Qi,” Senior Brother Long told Mu Qiqi.
“It’s not that the branch can’t afford to lose me, but you guys are really too careless. Captain Tang isn’t here, so the professor can’t bear to see you guys like this,” Mu Qiqi explained with a smile. “It’s almost twelve and I’m still here with you guys. I haven’t said anything, and yet you guys are still complaining.”
“Then did you find anything?”
“Do you know why the Professor called me over? Because he found something. The day before she committed suicide, she had had her nails done. Could it be that she wanted to die a beautiful death? If that’s the case, why didn’t she put on makeup before she took the poison?” Mu Qiqi explained to Officer Long.
“Secondly, I found out that she had searched for a travel guide to Saipan on her computer before she died.
“Thirdly, you said that she had a boyfriend, but when the forensic doctor came to check, he found that the room was too clean. Even the dead woman’s fingerprints were almost nonexistent. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
“So, it’s not that I have special abilities. You guys are just really careless.” Mu Qiqi patted Senior Brother Long’s shoulder helplessly.
Senior Brother Long was stunned for a moment, and he really couldn’t find anything to refute.
“So, according to what you and the professor said, this is not a suicide?”
“The professor and I came to that conclusion after a.n.a.lyzing her body, but Captain Tang saw the scene and immediately called me over. Isn’t he even more terrifying?”
“You mean, Captain Tang also thinks that this case isn’t as it seems?”
Mu Qiqi chuckled. It was probably because Tang Yan’s experience in handling cases was already rich enough.
“Alright, go back and think about it yourself. My family is about to go nuts. I’ll be leaving first…”
