Chapter 785: Stealing Sheng Xiao’s Woman
This time, Sheng Xiao was not going over just for Mu Qiqi. Zhongteng had bought a piece of land by the sea and was developing it, so he came to inspect it too.
Of course, a group of employees from the engineering department also accompanied him.
Most of the resorts near the sea were gathered here, so Sheng Xiao got his secretary to book the luxurious sea-view room next to Mu Qiqi’s.
After dinner, the secretary sent the room number to Mu Qiqi’s phone.
After Mu Qiqi saw it, she was too embarra.s.sed to say that she was going out to sleep over, so she planned to sneak into the hotel next door after everyone had fallen asleep.
However, the students of the faculty were still having a barbecue in the resort garden late at night. Mu Qiqi could not go out even after waiting for a long time.
Jiang Shengnan woke up and saw that Mu Qiqi had yet to wash up. She propped herself up and asked, “Qiqi, why aren’t you sleeping?”
“I’m still thinking about something. You go to sleep first.”
Jiang Shengnan was still sleepy, so she fell right back to sleep.
..
Under the yellow light, the entire room was very quiet. Outside the wide French windows, there was an endless sea and craggy observation stones.
Mu Qiqi finally avoided everyone and came to Sheng Xiao’s side. As soon as she sat down, she said angrily, “It makes it seem like I’m having an affair with someone.”
“Aren’t you? One in the day, one at night!” Sheng Xiao raised his eyelids and said to her.
Mu Qiqi immediately understood that he had heard the rumors about Li Congwen. She leaned on Sheng Xiao in a flattering manner. “You believe those rumors?”
“You grabbed his hand?”
“I grabbed his sleeve, okay?” Mu Qiqi retreated a little and defended herself. “Other than you, I don’t treat any other man as a man.”
Sheng Xiao’s expression was unclear. He only unb.u.t.toned his s.h.i.+rt and squinted at her. “Don’t you have something important to say? Let’s see what you found out on your vacation.”
“Li Congwen’s sister is a victim of the Changrong Electronic’s suicide case. The culprit stopped him from investigating the case and warned him.”
“I know,” Sheng Xiao said lightly after listening.
“You know?”
“Don’t forget, I’ve read all of Shen Yu’s information. You’re smart, but you’re only careful in certain areas.” Sheng Xiao took off his suit jacket, then he leaned against the sofa and explained, “I’ve read dozens of cases that Shen Yu dealt with. I asked Xu Che to look for information on the Li family’s case and read the whole story.”
“Then, do you know everything? Including the fact that Shen Yu is a dangerous person?” Mu Qiqi asked him back, “You a.s.sured me before.”
“I didn’t want you to know because I didn’t want you to be suspicious. It’s not that this Shen Yu isn’t careful enough, but he underestimated his enemy. He thought that with so many cases, big and small, hundreds of them, we wouldn’t notice the victim of the Li family…”
Sheng Xiao had kept Mu Qiqi in the dark, with Tang Yan helping too.
He had already seen the information of several victims related to Changrong Electronics, so naturally, he saw this case as its own.
Mu Qiqi thought about it and felt that this was in line with Sheng Xiao’s style of doing things. He had always done things flawlessly, and his heart was filled with thousands of gullies.
“If that’s the case, why let him defend Third Brother?”
“Send Shen Yu away, and you won’t know who else would take his place. So, instead of doing that, why not just keep your enemy close? Perhaps, you can follow the clues and find out the relations.h.i.+p between Shen Yu and the mastermind. If you’re lucky, you can even find out the mastermind’s ident.i.ty.”
That was true.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll continue to pretend that I don’t know and let Shen Yu continue to act. As for Third Brother, you have a backup plan, right?”
“You said that you trust the Sheng family’s lawyer, so I asked him to make another set of preparations.”
“So, you want to keep Shen Yu until the court session? That’s very exciting…”
Now that the matter had been clarified, Mu Qiqi was relieved. She had originally wanted to tell this man about it as soon as possible, but she didn’t expect him to already know the whole story.
Thinking of this, Mu Qiqi complained, “You’ve been keeping a lot of things from me lately…”
“If you want the Sheng family to be safe, you have to drag Sheng Kai out of the pit. Otherwise, sooner or later he’ll become someone else’s scapegoat and drag the entire Sheng family down with him.”
“Forget it. I’m too lazy to argue with you. A man’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.” With that, Mu Qiqi got up from the sofa. “I’m going to take a shower. I’ll take good care of you later.”
Mu Qiqi didn’t know that Jiang Shengnan had the habit of waking up in the middle of the night. When she did and didn’t see Mu Qiqi, she was shocked and quickly went out to look for her.
However, all she saw were people downstairs barbecuing. There was no sign of Mu Qiqi.
Could it be true that she and Li Congwen had something going on and they were meeting up now?
The next day, before dawn, Mu Qiqi came back and went back to bed to continue sleeping. If she had known it would be so tiring, she would not have gone over to sleep with her man.
It was a little past eight in the morning. Jiang Shengnan woke up early and saw Mu Qiqi lying on the bed. She was puzzled.
Where did she come from?
However, Mu Qiqi was not awake, so she could not ask her anything.
After breakfast, their activity was volunteer work at the stray cats and dogs rescue station not far from the resort. Fortunately, Mu Qiqi also liked animals, so she had no objections to the activity.
However, on the way to the volunteer center, many attendees were whispering and discussing in private. However, after experiencing Mu Qiqi’s little revenge yesterday, no one dared to mention anything to her.
However, on Li Congwen’s side, a cla.s.smate started to joke. “Last night, you and Mu Qiqi secretly met, right? What did you say? Stealing Sheng Xiao’s woman… You’re really something!”
Li Congwen frowned and did not understand what was going on. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I didn’t leave my room last night!”
“You still won’t admit it? Someone saw Mu Qiqi secretly leaving her room last night. She was clearly out on a date. If she wasn’t with you, who was she with?”
“How would I know who she went to see? How unreasonable!”
Li Congwen was angry because he knew that he was innocent. These people were too good at “connecting the dots” and gossiping. How could such things be linked together just to match the rumor…
Mu Qiqi fell into a deep sleep and ignored all the gossip. She only pitied Jiang Shengnan.
Many people had come to ask her in the morning if she knew about Mu Qiqi’s secret date with Li Congwen the night before.
How would she know?
However, Mu Qiqi was indeed not in the room in the middle of the night.
She wanted to protect Mu Qiqi, but she felt that Mu Qiqi had done something inappropriate, so she struggled in her heart.
Soon, the group arrived at the stray cats and dogs rescue station. However, they didn’t dare to go near the animals. Both boys and girls felt that their bodies were full of viruses and bacteria when they saw how dirty they were.
“What are you afraid of? They have all been vaccinated.” The dean rolled his eyes. If they were afraid of even living creatures, how would they be able to perform an autopsy?
