Chapter 789: Such Stupidity, You’re Quite Pitiful
“You’re an adult. Even if you hate me and want to target me, you should find out if things are as you think they are first. There’s no evidence, and yet you tried to make a lie come true just by spouting nonsense. Do you think that everyone in the world is the same as you and doesn’t use their brains?” Mu Qiqi stared at the hands hugging her thigh.
“I was instigated by someone…”
“To be so stupid. I really feel sorry for you.” Mu Qiqi laughed condescendingly. Then, she turned to look at her secretary. “Sister, let’s forget about it this time. With things already like this, there’s no hope.”
“No problem.” The secretary smiled.
“But, I’m warning you. If there are any unfavorable rumors about me in the school, I’ll take it as you being the one to blame. The lawyer’s letter can be prepared for you at any time.”
The group of girls who wanted to take revenge on Mu Qiqi immediately looked away, unable to hide the guilt on their faces.
Mu Qiqi did not want to waste any more time. She broke free from Zhong Huishan and walked to the dean. “Dean, I want to leave early.”
“Go.” The dean gave her permission. After all, she had been wronged. And the trip activities were over.
“Thank you, Dean.” Mu Qiqi turned around and looked at Zhong Huishan again. Then, she walked toward Sheng Xiao with his secretary.
“Why didn’t you tell me that someone called you?” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao with a reproachful look.
“Why would I tell you? So that you can be disgusted even longer than you have?” Sheng Xiao put his arm around her waist and escorted her into the car. “Go home. Third Brother called. The child in the hospital has woken up. Want to go and take a look?”
“Of course.”
The others watched Mu Qiqi leave in Sheng Xiao’s car, dumbfounded.
“What are you looking at? Isn’t it embarra.s.sing enough? Pack your things and go home! You’re so stupid that you even tried to frame someone…”
..
Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi had just arrived at Xiao Jiayu’s ward.
With her grandfather by her side, Xiao Jiayu was in good spirits.
“I’ve just asked the doctor. He said that Xiao Jiayu will recover from the injury from the car accident very quickly, but she will not last with her leukemia. She needs a bone marrow transplant, so I’ve asked the hospital to find a match as soon as possible,” Sheng Bowen said as he stood at the door of the ward, speaking to Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi.
“You don’t have to blame yourself. After all, she was pushed.”
“She did get hurt because of me.”
“Aren’t you trying your best to make up for it?” Mu Qiqi patted his shoulder. “It’s useless to put so much pressure on yourself.”
“If I can successfully find a bone marrow match, I’ll be considered to have completed my task.”
Xiao Jiayu’s grandfather was just behind the door. When he heard their conversation, he couldn’t help tearing up.
“It’s all the child’s uncle and aunt’s fault. President Sheng, you are also a victim. You have helped us enough.” The old man was about to kneel, but Sheng Bowen quickly helped him up.
“Grandpa Meng, there is hope for the cure of leukemia. I will make sure Xiao Jiayu is safe and sound.”
“I have nothing. Penniless and have nothing. I can’t do anything for you except thank you.”
“Grandpa Meng, you’re too kind.”
Xiao Jiayu saw Sheng Bowen through the crack in the door. Grandpa said that he was her benefactor.
She thought that when she saw him in the future, she must thank him in person.
It was tiring today…
Too tiring…
..
After seeing Xiao Jiayu, the group returned to the Sheng family home. However, Mu Qiqi felt that Xiao Jiayu was not really out of the danger zone. Since Shen Yu was from the enemy’s side, if Xiao Jiayu died, it would be more advantageous for them in their plan to take down Sheng Bowen.
Therefore, Sheng Xiao still arranged for people to keep an eye on Xiao Jiayu’s safety at all times.
“Li Congwen told me the name of the hotel where his sister once appeared in J City. I think that it may have something to do with Su Hong and Zhou Qin. I’ll report all of this to Captain Tang. I believe it’ll definitely be helpful to him.”
Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s urge to make a phone call and s.n.a.t.c.hed her phone away. “Tang Yan knows about these. Just pretend that this matter has pa.s.sed and don’t mention it to anyone else.”
Mu Qiqi turned her head to look at Sheng Xiao. Although she did not understand, she still nodded. “I got it. It’s Third Brother’s part now. Continue to deal with Shen Yu.”
“I don’t even know how to act cool when investigating a case, but I can still pretend to be innocent.” Sheng Bowen made an OK gesture. “I just didn’t expect that you would be able to gather clues on your spring outing.”
“It’s just a coincidence.”
“I’ll let that Shen Yu have a good time… Let him think that he has control over my entire life,” Sheng Bowen said with a laugh.
This was his strength. No matter how difficult the situation was, he could still find joy in his suffering and never complained about anything.
“Don’t worry. Even if you really get thrown in prison, I’ll definitely think of a way to send those two b*tches to be your companions.”
Ren Yufei’s expression changed when she heard that.
Sheng Bowen hurriedly said, “She’s joking.”
The four of them went to the Sheng family home to meet the old man. After accompanying the old man for dinner, Sheng Xiao brought Mu Qiqi back to the Banyan Courtyard. However, Mu Qiqi did not say anything along the way. This did not seem like her personality.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“I’m thinking about Bai Xinyi’s case,” Mu Qiqi replied. “Xiao Xiao, you know it’s said that people are born with a good nature. That’s all a lie. Children are no different from animals when they’re born. They follow their nature. Therefore, some people are naturally cold-blooded. There’s a violent element in their genes, and they disregard life.
“The most valuable thing about people is their ability to control themselves.
“Sheng Kai, Cheng Bin, and that Shen Yu, as well as the person behind them, I believe that they will pay the price for their disregard for life sooner or later.”
“Mm, your awareness has improved quite a bit.”
Initially, he thought that he would need to obtain new information from J City to save Sheng Bowen. However, with the addition of Shen Yu, it gave Sheng Xiao and Tang Yan a buffer.
That night, while Mu Qiqi was fast asleep, Sheng Xiao was in the study talking to Tang Yan.
“The informant has successfully infiltrated the hotel and saw Mama Bai. Just as Qiqi had guessed, not only did Mama Bai bury her daughter, she also continued her pimping business and was restless in her wheelchair.”
“We need to find a reason to arrest her and interrogate her properly.”
“Don’t alert her now. The most important thing is to find out who those victims served and why they died,” said Sheng Xiao.
“Can’t you start with Sheng Kai?”
“We don’t need to start with him. If it were you, would you trust Sheng Kai and entrust him with an important task? From the beginning to the end, he’s just a scapegoat kept by whoever’s behind him.”
