Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife Chapter 528 - Something is Not Right

Chapter 528: Something is Not Right

“I think Grandpa just doesn’t want to make things worse for them. He will know what to do.”

After living in the same house for a period of time, Hu Ran knew what kind of person Grandpa was. He always acted based on interests.

If he did not act since the start, it must mean that there was something that made him hesitate.

“Right, my friend in the entertainment industry told me that he has found some clues about your matter,” said Sheng Bowen to Hu Ran suddenly. “When you’re free, we can meet up.”

“He can get information about that woman?”

“This person is the most famous paparazzi in the industry. If it is something that even he doesn’t know about, then n.o.body will be able to find that out,” he explained. “Just give it a try.”

“Okay.” Hu Ran nodded. “Thank you, Third Brother, for taking my matters to heart.”

“Even if we might not be a real couple, we are still allies on the same boat. Shouldn’t I do this for you?”

After listening to his words, Hu Ran smiled. In fact, she had no idea what feelings she had for Sheng Bowen. She empathized with him. And then, she was thankful for him. And of course, she admired him. But those feelings were still not enough to say that she loved him. Was it because they got together only recently, and they shared little experiences together?”

In spite of that, Sheng Bowen was the only husband in her heart. She did not plan to change that in her life.

…

In another room in Sheng Mansion, Gu Ziling sat on the bed crying for one whole hour.

Sheng Kai could not say anything to comfort her and he dared not get close to her because he knew she would lose her temper immediately. “I knew it all along that Grandpa is a cold-hearted person. But I did not expect him to be this heartless.”

“The mess in the Gu family is too big. You should accept the reality,” Sheng Kai said.

“How can I? It’s not that the Sheng family went bankrupt. You wouldn’t know the pain.”

“Without the Gu family, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. You are still my wife. Besides, your maternal grandfather’s business could still be saved. And when I take over as the chairman of Huang Yao, I will be able to decide everything. I can give you anything you want then. Why can’t you endure it now? You know that Third Brother and his wife are always waiting to pick on us. They are waiting for us to become a joke. Nothing good will come to us when you throw a tantrum here. It does not bring any advantage to me as well.”

After listening to Sheng Kai’s words, Gu Ziling finally stopped crying. “Do you really think so?”

“We had indeed not been on good terms these few days. But you are my rightful wife. I will always stand by your side. Otherwise, people will only laugh at me for being the CEO of Huang Yao who is unable to manage my own family.”

Gu Ziling had cried enough and plunged into Sheng Kai’s arms. “I will help you. I will do whatever it takes to help you become the chairman of Huang Yao. But I also hope that you can understand how much I hate Mu Qiqi.”

“Okay.”

Since she could not blame herself, she could only blame others.

…

After Huo Cong was arrested, he still clamored in the interrogation room, saying that the Gu family would find him the best lawyer and let him walk out of the police station unscathed.

However, the policemen who were interrogating him told him honestly, “Gu Corporation is about to go bankrupt because of you. You have no other way out except to plead guilty.”

“I did not kill anyone.”

“You didn’t directly kill a person. But you provided a.s.sistance to the murderers. So, you are an accomplice. How can you be so ruthless against the woman who had been sleeping on the same bed with you for so many years?”

“That s.l.u.t made me into a laughingstock. I just wanted to teach her a lesson.”

One of the policemen could not stand listening to him anymore and banged the table. “Do you know how much the sentence is for being an accomplice to murder? The minimum sentence is eight years. Moreover, this case involves two lives, and one of them is a baby. If you keep on refusing to explain everything, you will go to jail for fifteen years. By the time you get out, you would have your skin peeled off. Think about it carefully. I don’t want to waste my time with you.”

Huo Cong paled when he heard how long the sentence was.

“Do I really have to go to jail for that long?”

“Do you want me to get a penal code to verify this?”

Huo Cong’s hands trembled. After contemplating for a few seconds. He finally said, “I will tell you everything.”

Although the policemen already knew about what Huo Cong was telling them, they felt disgusted when the words came out from the mouth of that skunk.

Because he was once her husband.

…

As Mu Qiqi had helped a lot in solving the case, the forensics laboratory gave Mu Qiqi two days off to rest. Since it was the weekend soon, Mu Qiqi asked Lu Qianqian out for lunch.

The little bride who was once the most talked about had now become a capable female forensics doctor.

Lu Qianqian gave Mu Qiqi a thumbs-up when she saw her. “Thinking back a couple of years ago, when you transferred to Eaton, you were still a coward. People used to feel that you were a doormat. But now, you can even dissect a dead body.”

“You are just the same. You have become a CEO. I can’t offend you now or I won’t be able to get a free lunch from you.”

Lu Qianqian pointed at Mu Qiqi and laughed. They chatted happily. However, a person who pa.s.sed by the window drew Lu Qianqian’s attention.

“What are you looking at?”

“That person who just pa.s.sed by looks like Lin Mu’an’s aunt.”

“You have met the Lin family before?”

“I saw her once in the photo. Sometimes, I do want to get along with the Lin family.” Lu Qianqian stood up. “Qiqi, I need to go and take a look. Something is not right.”

“I’ll come with you.”

And so, they followed the trail of the woman.

They found the aunt of the Lin family being held by two men. Her steps were not steady.

“What are you doing?” Lu Qianqian chased after them immediately and stopped in front of them. Now, Lu Qianqian could see Aunt Lin’s face clearly. She was obviously drunk.

The men wanted to stop Lu Qianqian from being a busybody at first, but when Mu Qiqi came, they stopped in their tracks.

“Isn’t she that forensics doctor? Forget it, let’s go.”

Then, the two men dumped Lin Mu’an’s aunt and ran away.

Lu Qianqian and Mu Qiqi quickly brought her into a hotel room. They then waited until Lin Mu’an arrived at the hotel.

“It’s really my aunt…”

“Since you’re here, I shall go and have my lunch with Qiqi. I’m sure any member of the Lin family would not want to see me.”

Lin Mu’an probably wanted to comfort Lu Qianqian, so he held her hand. “You go first with Xiao Qi. I’ll come to you later.”

“Okay.” Lu Qianqian nodded and left the room with Mu Qiqi.

After that, Lin Mu’an woke his aunt up.

“Where am I? Mu’an?” The woman on the bed scratched on her head in puzzlement. She tried to clear up her blurry vision so that she could see Mu’an.

Lin Mu’an felt helpless. “Two men got you drunk just now. Can you still remember? They wanted to check in to the hotel with you, but Lu Qianqian saw them. She saved you.”

Lin Mu’an’s aunt shook her head, as if trying to sober up.

“Where’s Lu Qianqian?”

“She said you wouldn’t have wanted to see her, so she left. Since you are awake, I shall leave. Please be careful next time.”
