Chapter 19
Even if the Sky Falls, I Still Won’t Do That!
When Sang Qianqian followed Sang Pengcheng to Shen Shaofeng’s ward, Wei Qinghua walked out with red eyes.
Wei Qinghua didn’t know who Sang Qianqian was, but he’d seen Sang Pengcheng in many magazines. So how could he not know who he was?
He glared at Sang Pengcheng and shouted angrily, “Sang Pengcheng, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? You’re using your family’s power to bully others and commit crimes like this.”
“May I ask how I’ve abused my power to bully others and commit crimes?” Sang Pengcheng asked, disheartened.
“You still have the nerve to ask! Sang Minglang couldn’t cooperate with us and couldn’t get our chip technology. So he planned this car accident and wanted to kill us for our patent!”
Wei Qinghua gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “Sang Pengcheng, just you wait. The law will punish you and your son!”
Sang Pengcheng’s face darkened. “Is Shen Shaofeng awake? I’ll ask him myself.”
The door to the ward opened, and Shen Hanyu appeared with a pale face. Behind him was Xia Sitong, whose eyes were red from crying.
“My dad doesn’t want to see you.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were bloodshot. He said coldly, “You should go back and ask Sang Minglang for the details.”
His voice was cold, and so were his eyes. When he looked at Sang Pengcheng, his eyes were filled with hatred.
This gaze was so familiar. It was just like how he looked at Sang Qianqian back in Ming City High School, except there wasn’t any hatred then.
The blood in Sang Qianqian’s body seemed to freeze bit by bit.
…
Outside the Sang family’s villa, two police cars stopped, and several police officers got out.
Sang Minglang, still on Yushan Island, was urgently called back.
In the living room of the Sang family, the air was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Sang Pengcheng’s face darkened, and he said sternly, “Minglang, how could you do such a thing? You’re such a disappointment!”
Sang Minglang said in disbelief, “Father, are you suspecting me as well?”
Sang Pengcheng stared at Sang Minglang, his voice cold, “Did you not see the video of Xia Zhixin’s death? He pointed out that you had the motive to kill!”
“I am indeed dissatisfied with them. But how could I mess around when it’s a matter of life and death? I didn’t live for so long just to resort to such stupid methods.”
It was rare for Sang Minglang to be so emotional. “Besides, who are they? Who am I? Do I have to ruin myself because of Xia Zhixin’s cheap life?”
“The car accident?” Sang Pengcheng was suspicious. “You had nothing to do with it?”
Sang Minglang said firmly, “I don’t know why Xia Zhixin would suspect me, but if I didn’t do it, then I didn’t do it. Even if the sky falls, I still won’t do that!”
At this moment, he wanted to drag Xia Zhixin out of the mortuary and give him a good beating. Before he died, he actually accused him of being a murderer without any evidence!
Sang Pengcheng looked deeply at his son, and his gaze finally softened. He believed in his son, and he also believed in the teachings he’d given him over the years.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, you’ll follow the police to a.s.sist in the investigation. Dad will hire the best lawyer for you and not let anyone wrong you!”
The police were still waiting outside. This case was no small matter; it was already rare for Sang Pengcheng to fight for twenty minutes to talk to his son. He couldn’t delay any longer.
“Dad, Qianqian, don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”
Before getting into the police car, Sang Minglang turned around and revealed a smile, trying to comfort them.
As she watched the police car leave, Sang Qianqian’s heart was filled with complicated emotions. She trusted her brother; If he said he didn’t do it, then he definitely didn’t do it.
The car accident had nothing to do with her brother, so she should’ve been more relaxed. However, her heart was still heavy.
Wen Xu returned from Yushan Island with Sang Minglang and witnessed everything. In silence, he walked over to Sang Qianqian. He didn’t know how to comfort Sang Qianqian.
Who would’ve thought that Sang Minglang would suddenly become a murder suspect in one night. Additionally, the Sang family became the target of public criticism, causing a huge commotion on the internet.
Wen Xu held it in for a long time before he said in a low voice, “Sister Qian, we’re going abroad tomorrow. What do you want to bring? I’ll buy it for you.”
Sang Qianqian was silent for a moment before she said, “Wen Xu, I’m afraid I can’t leave with you.”
Wen Xu blurted out, “Then I’ll stay too.”
“You can’t. You must go there first and familiarize yourself with the situation there in advance.”
Sang Qianqian forced a smile. “When my brother’s matter is settled, I’ll come and find you.”
She didn’t know when the results of the investigation would be out. Now that her brother was in prison, Sang Qianqian couldn’t leave her father alone. She’d have to postpone the matter of studying abroad.
Wen Xu was dejected. However, his father had already given him an ultimatum. If he didn’t go to study abroad this time, he’d bear the consequences.
He knew that his father was a man of his word, so he naturally didn’t dare to delay any further.
“Alright then, Sister Qian. When Brother Minglang’s matter is settled, come and find me as soon as possible.”
The next day, the sun rose in Ming City as usual, but the heated public opinion hadn’t subsided.
Xia Zhixin’s video was still trending, and the public opinion on the internet was almost one-sided. Furthermore, the denunciation of the Sang family was getting more and more powerful.
The Sang family’s stock price had dropped to its limit the day before. Due to this, Sang Pengcheng hadn’t slept for half the night and went to the office early in the morning.
Sang Qianqian rushed to the airport to send Wen Xu off. On her way back, she thought for a while and decided to visit Shen Shaofeng.
However, Sang Qianqian had arrived at an unfortunate time. The entrance to the ward area, which was quiet yesterday, was now full of media.
