Chapter 588: If I Knew Earlier, I Would Have Just Done It by Force
“I think that if it is enough to make Officer Tang throw up after eating breakfast, the incident must have hurt him very much. So, if you are just curious about the matter from a busybody’s perspective, then I think you should stop now. Nobody likes their personal matters to be pried into,” Mu Qiqi said to Feng Shanshan. “Besides, don’t you feel that after being together with the playboy for quite a long time, you have developed the potential for playing with other people?”
Feng Shanshan pushed Mu Qiqi away and glared at her. “You don’t know me.”
“You’re right. I don’t know you. But since you care about Officer Tang, why can’t you be straightforward?”
‘Because you don’t know how dangerous that man is.’ Feng Shanshan whispered in her heart.
“Forget it. The final exam is in two days. I will win against you.”
Having said that, Feng Shanshan leaned against Mu Qiqi. However, Mu Qiqi pushed her away. “It hurts.”
“You really went for the training yesterday?”
“Duh.” Mu Qiqi sighed. “I feel like my body has been run over by a car today. I can’t even lift my legs.”
“I thought you would act coquettish and get over it.”
Mu Qiqi did not respond to Feng Shanshan. Because she knew that nobody would understand how serious she got when it came to Sheng Xiao..
Feng Shanshan did not ask much. She knew they had different views on the matter of feelings.
“We’re opponents. Don’t lean on me whenever you feel like it.” Mu Qiqi reminded Feng Shanshan. “Look at their surprised faces.”
If Mu Qiqi was the famous and cold top student on campus, Feng Shanshan would be the one standing on the other end of the pole.
Everyone knew that they were enemies since long ago. But they did not know what happened to these two people in half a year that it was enough to make the enemies make peace and get along.
“Then I shall do that when we go to the forensics laboratory.”
…
At noon, the hospital was particularly quiet today.
Gu Ziling was accompanying Grandpa Sheng in the hospital when the butler and Hu Ran sent food to the hospital.
Usually, the butler and Grandpa Sheng would stay together. They were almost inseparable. It would not be easy to get a chance to talk to the butler.
After Grandpa Sheng had finished his lunch, the butler cleared away the cutleries.
Suddenly, Grandpa Sheng said that he missed the snack made by their home chef.
The butler always took good care of him. So, he promised Grandpa Sheng that he would go back and ask the home chef to make it for him. As Hu Ran would be taking care of him this afternoon, he could leave Grandpa Sheng briefly.
Seeing this, Gu Ziling quickly said to Grandpa Sheng, “Kai asked me to send him something this afternoon. Since Third Sister-in-law is here, I can leave with a peace of mind.”
“Second Sister-in-law, you are not the only one who can take care of Grandpa.” Hu Ran rolled her eyes. It was as if Gu Ziling was telling her that she felt uneasy letting anyone else take care of Grandpa Sheng.
“I didn’t mean anything else.” Gu Ziling explained and packed her things. After the butler had left for a while, so did she.
When they arrived at Sheng Mansion, Gu Ziling quickened her pace and stopped the butler. “Butler, I have something to talk to you about.”
“What do you want to talk about, Second Young Mistress? Why didn’t you say it when Old Master was present?” The butler asked in return.
“I don’t mean any harm. I heard about what happened to your son, and I know a good lawyer. Maybe he can help you. This is his name card. You can just tell him you are my friend and he will help you.”
The butler’s face changed when Gu Ziling handed him the name card. ‘Second Young Mistress, if you sincerely want to help me, I thank you. But if you have any other motive, then I shall not accept your offer.”
“Butler, are you planning to see your son suffer?”
“I will handle my family matter myself. I don’t need you to worry for me. I’m in a rush, Second Young Mistress, so I shall take my leave now.”
Gu Ziling looked at the butler and clenched her fists. She did not expect the old butler to be so stubborn!
How could he be so indifferent when his son was in a crisis?
After that, Gu Ziling told Sheng Kai about it on the phone. “That old thing is so stubborn. What now? We’ve alerted him.”
“Don’t worry. Although the butler did not accept it, he won’t tell anyone about this.” Sheng Kai knew the character of the butler.
“But now, since he is unwilling to get close to us, it means he’s refusing to cooperate with us!”
“Just because he doesn’t need a lawyer doesn’t mean that his son does not need one. We’ll just skip him and look for his son ourselves. I don’t believe that the butler’s heart is made of stone and will not save his son.”
Gu Ziling knew there was no other better plan.
“If I knew this earlier, I would have just done it by force.”
“Don’t worry. The butler cannot escape from our hands.” Sheng Kai comforted Gu Ziling. “We still have ample time to get the butler. Don’t give up.”
However, what they did not know was that the butler could not stand them because of his old age. He was older than Grandpa Sheng even.
But for the legacy and status, the two couldn’t care less what he thought of them.
How was the butler able to stay in the Sheng family for so long? He clearly knew in his heart that there were things that were dirty and untouchable.
Gu Ziling took the initiative to approach him. How could he not know what the couple was trying to do?
As Sheng Bowen had just been promoted to CEO of Huang Yao, his foundation was not stable yet. If Sheng Kai continued making trouble secretly, the Sheng family might have difficulty regaining the glory they had when Sheng Xiao was in Huang Yao.
However, he could not tell Grandpa Sheng for one reason only, which was none other than not wanting Grandpa Sheng to get distressed.
Anyway, he could tell this to Sheng Bowen.
…
Once the bell rang, Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan rushed to the police station.
Encountering such a difficult case, who would feel good?
They had to climb the hill every time they wanted to go to the crime scene. No man was able to stand it, let alone two young girls. The legs of the policemen who had gone up and down the hill numerous times were trembling. They felt miserable.
“Now, I can be sure that the murderer did it on purpose.”
“There are still many things we don’t know. It takes a long time to climb the hill. So does testing and inspection. By the time the results come out, the traces left behind would have already been gone.”
Tang Yan looked at the policemen complaining, so he made a suggestion. “I will stay on the hill. If I discover anything, I will inform you. Or take photos and send them to you. This will save a lot of time.”
“You’ll stay there alone?” The professor was a little concerned. “You may be fit and strong, but what if the other party is a gang? It’s as good as killing yourself being alone there.”
“Then get someone to accompany me.”
“I’ll bring some equipment and go with you,” said the professor. “If possible, we will do the experiments on the hill.”
‘This man sure is busy, always on the frontline,’ Feng Shanshan thought.
