Chapter 731: I Won’t Be Embarra.s.sed!
“Aren’t you too infatuated with me?” Sheng Xiao turned her body around and pinched her chin.
Mu Qiqi broke free from his grip and suddenly hugged him tightly. “Although I know you’re confident, when I think about it, I still feel scared. How could any normal girl tolerate her husband coming into contact with those dark and dirty things?”
“Don’t forget your ident.i.ty. You’re a forensic doctor.” Sheng Xiao was a little helpless against her fragile heart.
“It’s precisely because I’m a forensic doctor that I know very well that the dirtiest thing in this world is the human heart,” Mu Qiqi emphasized. “The more I see, the more I know that humans are scarier than ghosts.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything else. He had no say in this matter and could not convince Mu Qiqi otherwise.
After all, Mu Qiqi was the one who had been in and out of murder scenes countless times.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while. After what seemed like a long time, Mu Qiqi stuck her head out again and asked, “So, has everything been taken care of?”
“Now that we’re looking at Tang Yan’s investigation, I have another question in my mind. However, I’ll have to wait for Tang Yan’s results to come out.”
Mu Qiqi did not pursue the matter further. In any case, her heart was filled with the thought of waiting until the old man’s birthday. She also wanted to know how Sheng Kai planned to kick off his “magnificent and wonderful” prelude to his plans.
The diacetylmorphine had already been replaced with lime powder. Things had been set in motion. How would things pan out?
..
Late that night, Tang Yan received the investigation results. All the people who handled the five batches of imitations in Huang Yao were free from suspicion. They had unintentionally brought the items into the warehouse. In other words, Huang Yao’s name could be completely cleared.
Sheng Bowen called Sheng Xiao to tell him the good news. The plan could be carried out smoothly.
However, Sheng Xiao’s expression became extremely gloomy.
“If all the people who handled it are fine, then there must be Sheng Kai’s people in Huang Yao,” Sheng Xiao deduced. “Think about it. On the old man’s birthday, who would be the one to discover and reveal this secret? However, you don’t have to be in a hurry to look for it. When it happens, whoever calls the police will be the mole.”
“That’s the reason.”
Sheng Bowen replied, “Although there’s no need to deliberately investigate, I can still keep an eye out for it just in case.”
“Suit yourself.”
“Eighth Brother, what’s with your att.i.tude?”
“You know the reason.” With that, Sheng Xiao hung up the phone, not giving Sheng Bowen any chance to speak again.
Thinking about why Sheng Xiao ended the call so abruptly, Sheng Bowen realized that it must be because he told Mu Qiqi something he shouldn’t have.
The little one must be pestering Eight Brother. It was a lively and interesting scene just thinking about it.
But it didn’t matter. This way, the old man’s birthday would not only have Mu Qiqi, that little one, giving him a gift, but there would also be an even more exciting segment..
Someone’s going to be paying the price for what he had done.
..
Sheng Kai had indeed spent a lot of effort this time to set up a trap to lure these fishes into taking the bait.
However, the last thing he should have done was to allow Gu Ziling messing with Hu Ran. Otherwise, Sheng Xiao would not have been able to track down the counterfeits one by one.
Gu Ziling had always been a proud woman. She thought that since she had not told Hu Ran what she was going to do, she had not revealed Sheng Kai’s plan.
However, her att.i.tude had already made everything clear.
People who were overly conceited were usually people who thought they were smart.
..
Late at night, at Gu Ziling’s grandfather’s house.
The old man was at the dining table. He looked at Sheng Kai who was eating quietly, and asked in a calm voice, “The old man of the Sheng family is going to celebrate his birthday soon. Have you not prepared your birthday gift yet?”
“I have,” Sheng Kai replied.
“Good. Follow your G.o.dfather’s footsteps and do well. In the future, it won’t be difficult for you to compete with the Sheng family or even Zhongteng.”
“Thank you, Grandfather, for your guidance.” Sheng Kai stood up and bowed to express his grat.i.tude.
“I’m doing this not for you, but for my granddaughter. You must remember this.” After saying that, the old man stood up from the dining table. “I’ll wait for your good news.”
“Grandfather trusts you very much now.” After Gu Ziling returned to their room, she hugged Sheng Kai. “Grandfather has high hopes for you.”
“I won’t let you guys down.” Sheng Kai was full of confidence.
He had done a lot of things to interfere and thought that this matter would be foolproof. However, he didn’t know that Gu Ziling was his biggest flaw.
Sheng Kai wanted to make use of Old Master Sheng’s birthday present to reappear in public.
However, little did he know…
“Ah Kai, when this matter is over, hand over Sheng Bowen’s little secretary to me,” Gu Ziling said to Sheng Kai before taking off her clothes and entering the bathroom.
“Why?”
“She used to be one of your people, but in the end, she became Sheng Bowen’s lackey. Of course, I have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, how can I appease the anger in my heart?” Gu Ziling snorted. “We’ve been looked down upon so many times, and we’ve been laying low for so long. I don’t believe that this time, the Sheng family will be safe and sound.”
“Of course, I promised you,” Sheng Kai replied to his wife. “A woman from a lowly background is worthy of joining a wealthy family.”
The two of them were blinded by their “upcoming victory” that they could barely hold it in.
They were actually thinking of retaliating against those who had once bullied them after the matter was settled.
However, Sheng Xiao would not give them this chance. He, Sheng Kai, would never be Sheng Xiao’s enemy.
..
The next day, three days until the old man’s birthday.
Occasionally, Sheng Xiao would ask Mu Qiqi if she had prepared the old man’s birthday present. However, Mu Qiqi would always block him with a few words.
“There are things that you don’t know. I won’t tell you.” Mu Qiqi snorted. “You’re more anxious than I am about the task that you a.s.signed yourself, aren’t you?”
“What if we get embarra.s.sed?”
“I won’t be embarra.s.sed!” After saying that, Mu Qiqi got into the car and went to Sheng Ting.
Ever since she received this task, she had racked her brains and went to look for the teachers in Shengting’s Faculty of Industrial Management. It was not easy for her to find a way to make such a thing. If the old man disliked it, she would definitely be embarra.s.sed.
If he dared to say it was bad…
Then she would never give another gift in her life.
Of course, she had already made the gift and stored it somewhere else in order to maintain a sense of mystery. No one would ever know what she had made, especially that pig head, Xiao Xiao.
And Sheng Xiao really did not know what in G.o.d’s name she was up to.
On the old man’s birthday, when Sheng Kai appeared, he better not die from anger. After all, he was someone who had had surgery done on his brain. Who knew how strong he was mentally…
