Chapter 593: Second Young Master, You’re Too Much
“You’re not happy with me helping him?” Sheng Xiao asked Mu Qiqi, sitting on the sofa.
Mu Qiqi shook her head. “Since you’ve come here in person, it must mean that this is no simple matter. It’s to do with Sheng Kai, so I won’t ask.”
Sheng Xiao beckoned to Mu Qiqi with his finger. “Come here.”
When Mu Qiqi got close to him, he pulled her onto his lap. “If you’re tired, you can sleep.”
Mu Qiqi shook her head. “I won’t sleep if you won’t. Speaking of this, although you don’t care much about the matters of the Sheng family, when they are in real trouble, you are always the person running ahead of everyone.”
Sheng Xiao stared at Mu Qiqi seriously. “Are you disappointed?”
“Why would I be?”
It was precisely because of her man’s affection that he would care for them. Although he looked like a heartless man, he was far from it. In fact, he was the most caring.
…
Meanwhile, the butler was lying on the bed, but he could not sleep, because his son’s voice was still ringing in his ears. Although his son was not a good man, he was still his flesh and blood. He couldn’t ignore him totally, but if he used the lawyer Sheng Kai got for him, he would be fated to become a puppet of the couple. He did not want to betray Grandpa Sheng.
He was in a dilemma. Although he had made it clear that he would use all his savings to hire another, better lawyer for his son, his wife and son were bewitched and insisted on using that lawyer.
Thinking of this, the butler felt hatred, sadness, and confusion in his heart.
More importantly, Sheng Kai had already informed the locals. So, it meant that if the butler did not accept Sheng Kai’s help, his son would not escape jail.
After so many years serving the Sheng family, the butler thought he had done his best for the Sheng family.
He did not expect Sheng Kai to force him to this extent.
He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he called Sheng Kai. “Second Young Master, you’re too much. Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Old Master everything?”
“Butler, I really want to help you. Why don’t you accept this? Your son is in a great crisis now.”
“Why must you force me to submit? Tell me!” The butler shouted in anger. “My son will be fine without your help.”
“How can you not understand my painstaking effort? You just have to accept my offer.”
“Sheng Kai! d.a.m.n you.” The butler was very annoyed and scolded him directly. “Don’t think I don’t know what you are planning. You are eyeing Old Master’s will. I’ll tell you this. You won’t get any advantage if you push me too hard.”
“Butler, aren’t you being too self-righteous?” Sheng Kai laughed on the other end of the phone. “I simply want to help you.”
“I don’t need your help!” After that, the butler smashed his phone.
He only had one son, but he didn’t want to betray the Sheng family!
So, he could only go to the extremes.
…
At midnight.
Xu Che suddenly appeared at the door and knocked on the door. “Chief, something bad happened.”
Sheng Xiao sat up and opened the door, looking at Xu Che.
“That old man jumped off a building. He is now in the hospital. Luckily, he fell on gra.s.s. The hospital is trying to save him.”
“Have you found out what happened?”” Sheng Xiao walked back into his room. He turned his back to Xu Che, grabbed the clothes on the rack, and got dressed.
“Sheng Kai hired a lawyer to help him, but he kept on refusing. Perhaps it was because the old man kept refusing him that Sheng Kai went to the butler’s wife. He had also informed the people in the detention center to give special treatment to the butler’s son. It seems like Sheng Kai wants to force the butler to submit to him. But as for the details, only the two of them know,” said Xu Che.
By the time he heard the last sentence, Sheng Xiao had already put on his watch. “Does Second Brother know we are here?”
“I don’t think so.”
“If we don’t come, the butler might really be forced to death by him.” Sheng Kai sounded cold. “It looks like he does not want to live in Jianchuan anymore.”
“What now?”
“We’ll go to the detention center and stop Sheng Kai’s people. Then, we’ll let the police handle the case. The butler’s son is innocent. He doesn’t need a lawyer. But, bring the lawyer anyway. I want to see him.”
“I will do it now,” said Xu Che. “How’s the situation in the hospital?”
“The butler’s family is there. You don’t have to worry.”
Now that the butler had jumped off the building, his wife should be too scared to do anything. She shouldn’t make trouble anymore.”
“Then Sheng Kai…”
“Keep evidence of everything that happened here. After we go back, show it to the Sheng family,” Sheng Xiao said coldly, “I previously thought that Second Brother would control himself. I definitely did not expect him to become a demon. So now, we can only bring him down. I bet he’s panicking now.”
Second Brother would continue to harm the butler. Because if the butler survived, his secret would be exposed.
…
Sure enough, after hearing the news about the butler jumping off the building, Gu Ziling was so frightened that her legs gave out. It was a human life, and she had never wanted to push him to this extent. She and Sheng Kai thought that once they forced the butler to desperation, he would give in.
Who knew he would be this strong-headed?
“What now? The butler jumped off the building and we don’t know if he is dead or alive. If he exposed our secrets, what should we do?”
Sheng Kai grabbed Gu Ziling’s hands and stared into her eyes with determination. “Then we should continue to the end and make him sleep forever.”
But he did not know Sheng Xiao had interfered.
At two o’clock in the morning, Sheng Kai’s lawyer was dragged into Sheng Xiao’s room by Xu Che.
“Who are you? Believe it or not, I can sue you for kidnapping!”
He sounded a.s.sertive. But when Xu Che kicked him on the knee and he was forced to kneel, he saw the person sitting in front of him in the room.
“Lawyer Song, you sound so confident.”
The lawyer’s legs weakened once he saw Sheng Xiao. He fell on the ground. “Crown Prince, no, Chief Sheng, I didn’t know you were here. You see…”
“Feeling guilty?” Sheng Xiao asked. “Have you done anything shameful?”
“Chief Sheng, I didn’t have a choice. I was pushed by Second Young Master. I didn’t want to force people to death.”
“It looks like you’ve heard about the incident of the butler jumping off the building.” Sheng Xiao tidied his clothes and glared at him coldly. “You better tell me honestly what Sheng Kai asked you to do. Otherwise, I won’t guarantee that the next person jumping off the building will not be you.”
The lawyer was so scared that he was sweating and trembling. “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything.”
“Xu Che, record everything.”
