Chapter 591: You’ve Underestimated Him
Although Mu Qiqi got easily immersed in happiness, it did not mean that she was a brainless cutie. How was it possible that her man did not know about something so important?
She did not believe it.
However, since it was handed to her by Mama Sheng, she would pretend not to know about it.
When Mu Qiqi arrived at campus and saw Feng Shanshan not in a good spirit, she asked, “You haven’t been sleeping well. Have you been doing bad things these days?”
“The police called me at half-past two this morning to inform me that the two sc.u.mbags were found. What could I do?” Feng Shanshan answered helplessly.
“How did you get your revenge?”
“I don’t know. I left after handing it over to the police.” Feng Shanshan answered ambiguously.
“Your head is injured because of them. Are you going to spare them so easily?”
“What else can I do? I can’t hit them back,” said Feng Shanshan, and she pointed to the podium with her chin. “The lecturer is here. Let’s listen to the lecture.”
…
In the morning, in the hospital’s VIP ward.
The butler received three phone calls in just one hour while he was in the hospital. This sparked Grandpa Sheng’s concern. “Did something happen in your family?”
“Yes, Old Master. My son encountered an issue.”
“You can just go back and solve it. I have Ziling and Hu Ran with me, and the other people can also take care of me. You don’t have to do everything by yourself.”
After hearing Grandpa Sheng’s words, the butler smiled. “Then I shall go back with a peace of mind.”
“Just go. Staying in the hospital is so boring. Even if you don’t feel bored, I am almost bored to death.”
The butler thanked Grandpa Sheng again before leaving with a tiffin carrier. Of course, he knew that once he left, something big would happen and change his family and the Sheng family drastically.
It’s just that in his heart, he would not betray his old master even if he had to die. After all, his master-servant relations.h.i.+p with the Sheng family had lasted for so many years, and the Sheng family treated him kindly.
Thinking of this, the butler called Sheng Bowen. “Third Young Master, you must be careful with Second Young Master. If you really are in trouble, you must seek help from Eighth Young Master.”
“Butler, is there something you know about?”
“I know nothing. I just feel that Second Young Master may be scheming something,” said the butler.
“Okay, I will,” said Sheng Bowen. And then, he asked the butler out of concern, “Butler, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, Third Young Master. Don’t worry.”
“If you have any problems, you must tell me.” Sheng Bowen felt uneasy.
“Thank you, Third Young Master.”
The butler knew that once he got home, he must take care of his family and the feelings of his son. However, he did not want to betray the Sheng family and Grandpa Sheng.
The one who called him was his wife. She scolded him for being a heartless man and not saving their son, because he refused to accept the help from Sheng Kai who had prepared the best lawyer for their son.
After his wife knew about this, she was heartbroken. She could not believe that her husband would make such a choice.
If Sheng Kai and his wife did not go and meet with his wife, how would she know about this?
It was obvious that Sheng Kai and his wife were trying to force him to submit to their requests.
Sheng Bowen found it strange because the butler usually would not call him personally, let alone call him because of Sheng Kai. Thinking of this, Sheng Bowen immediately realized that something was going to happen to the butler, so he called Hu Ran.
When Hu Ran answered the call, Sheng Bowen asked, “Is the butler around?”
“Grandpa gave him a day off to take care of some private matters. He received three phone calls this morning.”
“Alright, I got it.” Sheng Bowen hung up and got the secretary to find out the butler’s address immediately and if something big happened in his family. He had a strong feeling that it might be related to Second Brother.
Later, Sheng Bowen called Sheng Xiao. “Eighth Brother…”
“What is it?”
“I think something happened to the butler.” Sheng Bowen recounted the phone call from the butler to Sheng Xiao. “The butler is so old already and he has always been very loyal to the Sheng family. If Second Brother really does something to this old man, I think he is no longer a human.”
“Since you have asked your people to investigate, why do you call me?”
“You are so clever. Of course you’ll be able to help the butler,” said Sheng Bowen. “Eighth Brother, the butler is very important to Grandpa. He is like Grandpa’s brother.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything and ended the call. Then he said to Xu Che, “I need you to go somewhere now. I will tell you the details on the phone later.”
“Where to?”
Sheng Xiao thought for a while and wrote something for Xu Che right away.
The butler mentioned about his background once and Sheng Xiao remembered it. His memory was extraordinary.
The only thing Sheng Xiao could not understand was why Sheng Kai was in a rush to touch the butler. Grandpa Sheng was still lying in the hospital.
What he did not know was that Grandpa Sheng had informed the Shengs that he had made his will, and Sheng Kai knew he had no chance to change it, so he had resorted to this.
Of course, they underestimated the loyalty of the butler. Besides, they also underestimated Sheng Bowen’s ability. And even crazier, they underestimated Sheng Xiao’s concern toward this matter.
Actually, on the way home, the butler had prepared for the worst.
But, he was reluctant.
Reluctant to leave the Sheng family.
…
In the evening, Mu Qiqi went home after cla.s.s because Sheng Xiao had called her to tell her that they were going somewhere at night and that they might not be able to come back until the next day.
Mu Qiqi did not wait for Sheng Xiao to explain and agreed to it.
If her man thought that it was urgent, then she would follow him without hesitation.
So, Feng Shanshan was in the autopsy room alone once again.
However, once she got there, she received news that the team leader of the criminal investigation team had gotten transferred, and that Tang Yan had taken over his position.
Feng Shanshan was surprised for a moment. It explained his sudden appearance here.
Unexpectedly, it was planned by the higher-ups.
“I thought Officer Tang only came here to help out.”
“You’ve underestimated him.” The professor smiled. “He became a criminal police officer at twenty-one. It’s been almost seven years now. Do you think he has no ability to lead the team?”
“I don’t mean that. I just didn’t see it coming.” Feng Shanshan rubbed her nose awkwardly. “That cold-face Hades never even told me his real age.”
“You’re giving him a nickname again!” said the professor helplessly. “Since he is the team leader, can’t you give him some face in the future?”
Feng Shanshan coughed. Was she not giving him face?
While they were talking, Tang Yan came to the forensics laboratory. Not knowing who he was talking to, he said, “Come with me.”
