196 Worthy of Being Brother and Sister(2)
He took out an extremely small and unremarkable chip from his pocket. “We can give the recording to President Sang, but please keep it a secret for us.”
Sang Minglang took the chip and examined it for a moment before smiling. “Don’t worry, I was the one who asked you to do it. Even if Ruan Cheng wants to find someone to settle the score with, he’ll find me, not you.”

The meeting room’s door opened, and more than ten people walked out, leaving one after another. However, Sang Qianqian didn’t see Sang Minglang walk out.
The bodyguards at the door had already left. Sang Qianqian gently pushed the door open and saw her brother sitting in the meeting room smoking.
His brows were tightly locked together, as if he was indescribably irritated.
His phone, which was on the table, kept ringing. Sang Minglang stared at the incoming call on the screen, but didn’t pick it up.
“Brother, it’s Sister Xiaoshuang’s call. Why aren’t you picking up?”
Sang Qianqian looked at his expression. “Did you guys fight?”
“No, we didn’t,” Sang Minglang hung up the phone. “Qianqian, close the door. I have something to tell you.”
Sang Qianqian turned around and closed the door. “Just in time. I have something to tell Brother too. It’s about the shooting.”
Sang Minglang had just snuffed out the cigarette in his hand when he heard that and raised his head suddenly, “The shooting?”
“Yes, but Brother, you should go first.”
Sang Qianqian sat down opposite him. “I’ll continue after you finish.”
Sang Minglang’s expression was a little complicated. “Qianqian, those private detectives have obtained a recording of evidence. The shooting at the wedding could very well be related to… The Ruan family.”
Sang Qianqian nodded her head calmly and replied with an “Mm.”
They were indeed brother and sister. They had the same rhythm and even said the same thing.
“The Ruan family I’m talking about is the Ruan family where your Sister Xiaoshuang is from.”
Even though Sang Minglang wasn’t in a good mood right now, his sister’s calm reaction still surprised him, “Qianqian, do you understand what I’m saying? It’s highly possible that Ruan Cheng was the one who hired the killer at the wedding.”
Sang Qianqian didn’t say a word. Instead, she pulled up the video on her phone. “Brother, take a look at this.”
Sang Minglang watched the video. Xie Shi’an was sitting on the sofa, his eyes looking a little lost. However, his expression the whole time seemed to be clear. He answered all of Sang Qianqian’s questions.
After the video ended, Sang Minglang stared at his sister in disbelief. “So that night when you went to Xie Shi’an’s room and said you were chatting with him, you were talking about this? But why would he tell you all this?”
“He was under hypnosis, so he answered whatever I asked.”
Sang Qianqian met her brother’s shocked gaze and knew what he was puzzled about. “There’s no need to be surprised. I learned hypnosis on my own. I have to thank you, Brother. You were my first experimental subject.”
Sang Minglang’s expression was one of shock, “So you mean to say that you hypnotized me before? When was that?”
Why didn’t he know anything about it?
“It was that one time when I ignored you all day.”
Sang Qianqian smiled lightly. “I asked Brother who you loved more, Sister Xiaoshuang or me. You said Sister Xiaoshuang without hesitation.”
Sang Minglang’s expression changed for a few seconds. “There’s other more serious matters. Why mention her?”
“But the shooting is related to Ruan Cheng. I’d have to mention Sister Xiaoshuang.”
Sang Qianqian said seriously, “Brother, you and Sister Xiaoshuang have been separated for so many years. Now that you’re finally together, don’t break up with Sister Xiaoshuang so easily because of Ruan Cheng. Sister Xiaoshuang is innocent from the beginning to the end.”
Sang Minglang frowned, “Qianqian, are you trying to teach your brother? You don’t have to worry about me and Ruan Xiaoshuang. I know what to do.”
“Brother, even if Ruan Cheng is the murderer, in my heart, Sister Xiaoshuang is only Sister Xiaoshuang.”
Sang Qianqian said softly, “If I don’t mind, then you also shouldn’t mind, Brother.”
However, she didn’t know if Ruan Xiaoshuang would mind.
Sang Minglang flicked the unlit cigarette in his hand, his expression unreadable. “I told you, Qianqian, I know what I’m doing.”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and stopped talking about Ruan Xiaoshuang. “Get someone to hand this video and the recording evidence you got to the Ming City Police tomorrow. They’ll definitely restart the investigation.”
The video was equivalent to telling the police who the murderer was. Once the direction and scope of the investigation were clear, he believed that the police’s follow-up investigation would be easier and faster.
Perhaps, it would not be long before there would be results.
Sang Minglang nodded. “Alright, I’ll personally make a trip back to Ming City tomorrow morning to discuss this matter with the police. It just so happens that I have to go back to the Ming City branch to deal with some things, so I might stay there for a few more days.”
“Brother, you and the police shouldn’t tell Hanyu about this yet. It’s not too late to talk about it when the final results are out.”
When the police report came out, everything would be settled. By then, Shen Hanyu would have no chance to get involved.
Sang Minglang looked at her and said with a meaningful tone, “I was the one who provided the evidence, so the police wouldn’t be looking for him. If they want to refer to someone, they will come to me. I don’t have to tell him anything, but if Shen Hanyu finds out something, it’s none of my business.”
“I don’t think he will. He seems to believe in the results of the police’s previous investigation.”
Sang Qianqian thought of the time when Shen Hanyu tried to calm her down and said that the murderer had been arrested. “As long as you don’t tell the police, he won’t know anything.”
Sang Minglang laughed lightly and nodded his head seriously, “Alright,” he said.
Sang Qianqian paused for a moment. “Oh right, Brother, can you help me arrange for a few more people to follow me? The same goes for you as well. Bring more people with you and be careful. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
Sang Minglang’s expression turned serious, “Alright, Big Brother will arrange it tonight.”

The next morning, Sang Minglang returned to Ming City.
Sang Qianqian had asked for leave and specially sent him to the airport. When she returned to the hospital, she realized that Xie Shi’an was waiting for her.
