Chapter 737: I Can Perform Even Better Next Time
“Back then, I served Huang Yao like that, but what good did that do me? Grandpa kicked me out of the house. If Sheng Bowen really has a part in such a despicable thing, wouldn’t you be angry?”
Mu Qiqi shook her head and felt like choking Sheng Kai. “I’m not angry.”
“Doesn’t matter. Anyway, we already know who your spy is. Most importantly, you haven’t forgotten who you sold the design blueprint to, have you?
“You want to use Third Master Long, but have you forgotten who he is?
“Sheng Kai, if I were you, I would be very… overwhelmed right now.”
“Because from your plan, the police already suspect that you are the owner of the batch of diacetylmorphine. Don’t you think that after they have thoroughly investigated Huang Yao, they would move the investigation to you next?”
“You have no evidence!”
“I have no evidence, but the spy has!” Mu Qiqi approached Sheng Kai and said, “Who are you showing off your intelligence in front of? There are so many seniors and outstanding talents here. What makes you think that your plan can deceive everyone? Do you see the man across from you? He doesn’t even want to look at you. Do you know why?
“Because it’s way below his level. It’s not worth his energy.”
Mu Qiqi pointed in Sheng Xiao’s direction.
Sheng Kai looked at Sheng Xiao. Sure enough, he was calm the whole time and did not panic at all. The shame and anger in his heart rushed straight to his head.
“Dear guests, I’m really sorry to have spoiled the event today. There’s a little friction in the Sheng family. However, everything has been resolved. I hope that you won’t take it to heart. Hotel staff, please serve the dishes for everyone.”
After apologizing to the guests, Mu Qiqi turned to Sheng Kai again. “Why aren’t you leaving? Do you still want to stay and be laughed at by others? Or do you want to stay here and watch everyone eat? Let me tell you two, there’s no place for you here. Not now, not in the future.”
At that moment, Sheng Kai wished he could find a hole to hide in.
It was obvious that the reason behind his attendance was to enjoy the old master’s pained expression and Sheng Bowen’s regretful tears, as he had foreseen. Unfortunately for him, nothing went his way. Not only did he not see anything, he had even been fooled and embarrassed.
So it wasn’t that Sheng Xiao didn’t notice. He had quietly lured him into the trap.
“Why aren’t you leaving? Grandpa and I have lost face because of you.”
Gu Ziling ran out of the banquet hall without caring about her image. She had been really too stupid to believe that Sheng Kai really had the ability to destroy the Sheng family again and again. After such a long period of hiding and scheming, the Sheng family treated everything as a complete joke.
Whenever Gu Ziling thought of Mu Qiqi’s words and expression just now, she wished she could die from shame and anger. Why was Mu Qiqi able to be together with Sheng Xiao, and yet she had married such a disappointing husband?
Sheng Kai had no other choice but to leave the old master’s birthday banquet.
What made him feel most ashamed and angry was that no one cared about his departure. No one looked at him, as if he was just a clown who had come to give a performance.
Most importantly, Mu Qiqi had made this matter clear. Even if others did not have evidence, Third Master Long and the police would still view him as a target.
Sheng Kai left the banquet hall, but Gu Ziling had already driven the car away. She did not care about his husband at all. He was already living under someone else’s roof. After being humiliated by Gu Ziling, he felt even more inferior.
No matter where he went, he would always be ostracized.
However, he could only endure it!
..
Old Master Sheng’s birthday banquet continued.
The guests also received the news one after another. The incident at Huang Yao was all a misunderstanding. The things found in Huang Yao’s warehouse were just ordinary lime powder. It was not diacetylmorphine.
At this moment, Sheng Bowen and Sheng Xiao were sitting on either side of Old Master Sheng. The rest of the Sheng family were also in a stable mood.
Old Master Sheng sighed. “You knew about this long ago. Why didn’t you say anything?”
“If you had known, you would have been worried about my ability. Although I’m not like Eighth Brother who’s able to plan everything, I know how to ask for help. I also know how to work together and cooperate. Instead of making you worry all the time, it’s better to make you worry just for a bit. Consider this a precious gift from your descendants,” Sheng Bowen explained to the old man with a smile.
“These two little girls, they knew about it too?” The old man pointed at Mu Qiqi and Ren Yufei and asked Sheng Bowen.
“Of course. The thing in the box was discovered by Xiao Qi. People who study forensic medicine are indeed different. It’s light, heavy, and smelly. Anything can attract her attention.” Sheng Bowen raised his glass and clinked it with Mu Qiqi’s. “Your performance just now was very exciting.”
“Is that so? I’m able to perform even better next time.”
When Old Master Sheng heard this, he laughed. This girl was born to fight. She was good at all kinds of fierce battles and was unbeatable. Until now, she had never lost.
It was no wonder that from the beginning to the end, Eighth Brother didn’t even bother to move. He knew very well that everything was under their control.
“I’ll never forget this year’s birthday. I thought I was going to lose my life here today.”
Sheng Bowen hadn’t expected the old man to care about him so much.
“Grandpa, as your grandson, this is the first time I’ve felt your concern.”
“Humph.” Old Master Sheng snorted loudly. “Sheng Kai’s plan failed, so there will definitely be follow-up. He’s not capable of carrying out such a big plan alone. Although Eighth Brother has seen through it, he will definitely try again.”
“No matter what he wants to do, and no matter who he wants to deal with, Eighth Brother and I will join hands to stop him. He won’t succeed,” Sheng Bowen said confidently. “Don’t forget that you have a mischievous granddaughter-in-law on our side. She’s not a pushover.”
Today was a soul-stirring day for Old Master Sheng.
“Is Huang Yao really okay? Have you dealt with the aftermath?”
“Don’t worry. When we found this thing, Eighth Brother immediately called the police. They dealt with it quickly and cleared Huang Yao of suspicion. However, there’s a problem now. There are still a lot of Sheng Kai’s spies in Huang Yao. The person who reported the case to the police this time is Sheng Kai’s spy.”
Sheng Bowen was now even more guarded against the employees.
“I think that Sheng Kai was able to steal the blueprints previously because of this spy.”
“I’m already old. Actually, Huang Yao isn’t everything. After being taught by Xiao Qi, I no longer value worldly possessions. The future belongs to you young people. As long as all of you are safe, I’m satisfied…”
