Chapter 979: Why Don’t You Snatch Her Over?
The next morning, Mayor Shen returned home.
Huang Yu saw that the man was tired, so she quickly pulled him back to his room and said, “Don’t let Father see it. He doesn’t know that you were taken away last night.”
Mayor Shen nodded and returned to his room to sit down. He held his wife’s hand and said, “I’m sorry to have made you worry.”
“What the hell is going on? Did you really do those…”
“No,” Mayor Shen interrupted his wife. “Don’t worry. Since they want to investigate, let them do it properly. A few days ago, on the way to the office, I saved a mother and daughter. During the interrogation last night, I found out that they were not as they seemed.”
“Someone had deliberately set a trap.”
After hearing this, Huang Yu became even more nervous.
This was the wild path that Secretary He mentioned. Mayor Shen saved people who shouldn’t have been saved, and he even made arrangements that shouldn’t have been made. The higher-ups naturally had to investigate clearly what was involved and what benefits were involved.
“Don’t worry. I’m not afraid. It’s just that Eighth Brother might suffer too.”
“He called last night to reassure us. Zhongteng is doing a serious business. Why don’t you stop doing it? Shen Lin is sensible now, and we have nothing to lose. You don’t have to work so hard outside. If you’re not careful, you’ll be set up like this. What if we lose you?”
Huang Yu had always been straightforward.
But this time, she was really scared. Her husband didn’t come back last night, and it was as if the sky had collapsed.
Moreover, even if this matter was finally investigated, it was ultimately a loss of reputation, and she would not be able to return to her original position.
“Don’t make such a big deal out of it. Things have not reached that stage yet. I know who the people behind this are, and I have connections. They will do their best to help me deal with them. Don’t worry. Even if it doesn’t work out, I still have Big Brother and Sheng Xiao with me.”
Huang Yu listened carefully and thought about it. She also knew that it was useless to worry, so she got up and got her husband some water. “Take a good bath first and get some rest.”
“No, I have to go out. Otherwise, Father will get suspicious.”
“He’s going to the hospital to see Xiao Qi later. Don’t worry.”
..
Mu Qiqi woke up early in the morning and saw that Sheng Xiao was acting strangely. He had been accompanying her in the hospital for the past few days. Dad was in charge of managing Zhongteng’s affairs. However, since midnight, Xiao Xiao’s calls had increased. Although Mu Qiqi was very tired, she had an inkling.
Therefore, when Fifth Aunt came over, Mu Qiqi said to Sheng Xiao, “Zhongteng needs you, so go and do your work. There are so many people here. Are you afraid that they won’t be able to take care of us?”
Sheng Xiao put down the porcelain bowl filled with chicken soup and sat down beside Mu Qiqi. “I’m just afraid that they’ll ignore your feelings.”
“I’m not as fragile as you think. I know that I’m the one you love the most in your heart. Go, okay?”
Sheng Xiao sighed. While Fifth Aunt was packing the baby’s things, he said to Mu Qiqi, “Something happened to the Shen family. Second Uncle was taken away last night because the Song family set a trap. Things are very tricky now. Although he was sent back, he’s currently suspended.”
When Mu Qiqi heard that, she immediately became nervous. “So that old man from the Song family took advantage of your lack of time to play tricks on him and got him to lower his guard before he attacked? Second Uncle is loyal and honest, so it’s easy for others to take advantage of him. Song Jiang, that wily old fox, is cunning by nature. No wonder he fell into his trap.”
“I’m not telling you all this to make you worry. Everything that the Shen family and I have done is to protect you. You also have to believe that if Song Jiang wants to hurt anyone from the Shen family or the Sheng family, he’ll have to go through us first. So, you just need to recover in peace in the hospital and leave everything else to the men, alright?”
After hearing Sheng Xiao’s words, Mu Qiqi suddenly laughed. “You’re really a father now. You’re even putting on airs as you speak. I got it. I’m not worried. Hurry up and go.”
Sheng Xiao got up and kissed Mu Qiqi on the forehead. He did not look at the little one in her arms. He immediately put on his coat and left the ward.
Outside the door, Xu Che had been waiting for a long time.
“A lot of people came early in the morning. The people from the finance department are dealing with them now.”
“Give them whatever they want. Let them investigate as much as they want.” Sheng Xiao strode out of the hospital and said to Xu Che, “Let’s go to Huang Yao now.”
Just as Sheng Xiao was about to get into the car, he suddenly spotted a man sitting in a wheelchair in front of him.
He had lost his right leg.
Sheng Xiao suddenly closed the car door and quietly waited for this person to come closer.
“Long time no see. You are a father now. Congratulations.”
“It seems like you heard about yesterday’s good show and rushed back eagerly, right? Whose side are you on now?” Sheng Xiao asked Song Bozhi, “I don’t think that you and Song Jiang are still father and son. After all, Song Jiang’s first reaction after knowing that you were crippled was to abandon you.”
“I came here to take a look at the little bride. You wouldn’t be so petty to deny me this chance, would you?” Song Bozhi did not want to discuss Song Jiang’s problem with Sheng Xiao at all.
“Look from afar. Just don’t harass her.” With that, Sheng Xiao opened the car door again and sat in his Bentley.
Xu Che looked at Song Bozhi from the rearview mirror and could not help but ask Sheng Xiao, “You don’t want me to be on guard?”
“There’s no need. There are too many people in the ward. He won’t have the chance to make a move.”
Moreover, Sheng Xiao did not think that Song Bozhi was here to cause trouble.
..
Song Bozhi watched the black Bentley fly past him and could not help but snicker. He hated Sheng Xiao the most for being self-righteous, but unfortunately, Sheng Xiao’s guess was right.
However, he did not come here specifically to see Mu Qiqi. Instead, he was here to get a prosthetic limb. At the same time, he wanted to see how happy the little bride was now.
The ward was indeed bustling with activity. People kept coming in and out.
Song Bozhi glanced at the door and then turned to his nurse. “Let’s go. It’s a pity that Sheng Xiao got to such an interesting and good woman first. They already have a child. If I had met her first, Sheng Xiao wouldn’t have had a chance.”
“Since you like her, why don’t you snatch her over? Young women are more interesting.”
“What do you know?” Song Bozhi shook his head. “I can be heartless to everyone and do some dirty things, but I think the little bride looks best when she smiles.”
In a man’s life, he had to have a special woman. If he couldn’t get her, yet he couldn’t let her go. No one else would understand that feeling. It was good that he understood it himself.
“The person I want to settle the score with is that old b*stard Song Jiang. I didn’t know that old bastard had a son until a few days ago.
“Since he threw me away so casually, I can only… do justice for the heavens.”
