Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife Chapter 556 - Are You Still Trustworthy?

Chapter 556: Are You Still Trustworthy?

Once Mu Qiqi arrived home, she took a bath and changed. Then, she went out again looking fresh.

But in the middle of all these, she got a call from Feng Shanshan. They had confirmed the fingerprint on Shen Qing’s dress. It belonged to the paparazzo. Since the fingerprint was on the back of the victim, the possibility of him pus.h.i.+ng Shen Qing down the stairs was very high.

With this new discovery, the police wanted to interrogate the paparazzo once more.

…

At the hotel, Mu Qiqi apologized to Sheng Bowen. ‘I’m so sorry I took so long to take a bath. It was mainly because of my smell… Well, I’m worried it might make you lose your appet.i.te.”

“It’s all cool,” said Sheng Bowen. “If Eighth Brother can get used to it, so can we.”

Sheng Xiao sat next to Mu Qiqi, with his right arm resting naturally on the back of Mu Qiqi’s chair, showing a protective and possessive att.i.tude.

“In the whole of Jianchuan, everyone knows that Xiao Qi is your wife, do you really need to do this?” Sheng Bowen couldn’t help but comment.

“Didn’t you call me in the middle of the night that day to ask me something? Have you solved that problem?” Sheng Xiao, not wanting to lose, asked him in return.

Sheng Bowen suddenly coughed, and he flushed all the way to his ears.

“What’s the matter?” Mu Qiqi asked quickly.

“It’s nothing, just a private conversation between men,” Sheng Bowen interrupted, and he took the chance to change the topic. “Aren’t you going to talk about the paparazzo? Get to the point.”

“Previously, that paparazzo could simply say anything because there was no evidence yet. He was fearless at that time, so it was impossible for him to confess about anything. But just now, my friend called to inform me that there has been some new progress in the case. I can’t really tell you about it. However, I have told the team leader about Third Sister-in-law’s case. He said if he could pry open his mouth, he would solve this case together.”

“Can you be sure?” Sheng Bowen seemed to be more excited than Hu Ran.

Mu Qiqi shook her head. “Since there is no evidence.”

“It’s okay, Xiao Qi. My father is very suspicious of that woman now. This can guarantee that the thing I’m worried about will not happen.

She was worried that once that woman had a child with her father, she would not be able to separate her from him.

“Don’t worry. Trust the police.”

Hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, Sheng Bowen laughed and looked at Mu Qiqi. “The way you speak now is so much like the police in dramas.”

“I’m telling the truth.” Mu Qiqi playfully glared at him. “Professional things must be handed over to professional people. Speaking of which, what happened to your Huang Yao?”

“I have already negotiated with the representative of Tiffany & Co. This time, the matter can be resolved smoothly. However, they have a condition that I must be the president of Huang Yao before they proceed with the agreement.”

“That’s great.” Mu Qiqi turned to look at Sheng Xiao. “But I guess Second Brother will not just keep quiet and do nothing. Does he know about this already?”

“It’ll be chaotic if he knows! But he will know about it tomorrow.”

“So, does that mean that you are going to drag him down for good?”

“With his temper, he will try to stab me from the back. Besides, don’t forget that there is Gu Ziling by his side. This woman is no ordinary person. She is very vicious. She’s the reason why Xiao Ran nearly died because of honey. She colluded with her stepmother.”

“But you still actually let her wander in front of you.” Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. “I thought the bankruptcy of Gu Holdings already ended her.”

“She still wants to cause trouble.”

“Xiao Qi, no matter what, I really want to thank you for this. Otherwise, Third Brother and I will have to waste a lot of energy on this. And we might not know how many traps we will fall into.” After saying that, Hu Ran gave a toast to Mu Qiqi. “I hope this turns favorable for us.”

Mu Qiqi was smiling happily. However, Sheng Xiao was not.

“Why are you pulling a face?”

“Your coaches called me all day today. What do you think?” Sheng Xiao asked. He told Mu Qiqi to attend the courses to learn self-defense skills. But the little one hid in the police station all day instead. And she even refused all the calls from unknown numbers.

“You wasted all my effort.”

“I swear, I forgot.” Mu Qiqi tried to explain. “I promise I will remember it next time.”

“Are you still trustworthy in front of me?”

Mu Qiqi stopped talking and looked at Sheng Bowen helplessly.

Sheng Bowen smiled. “I can’t save you. Eighth Brother’s IQ is not something I can deal with.”

“You still dare to smile?” Sheng Xiao glanced at them. “How’s your business going?”

Sheng Bowen choked and pretended to be dumb.

This man was so unforgiving in his words.

“I came to meet you here with Grandpa’s permission. I think he is slowly accepting it.”

Hearing Sheng Bowen’s words, Sheng Xiao was reminded of the doc.u.ment Grandpa Sheng sent him the other day. He did not accept it, but he did learn some facts.

…

Since Third Brother and Hu Ran were not at home, Sheng Mansion did not seem very lively.

Perhaps it was because Sheng Kai knew that Third Brother was not at home that he was finally willing to get out of his study to have meals. However, his messy look was rather surprising.

After dinner, Grandpa Sheng stood up and said, “Second Brother, come to my study.

Sheng Kai snorted. He put down his chopsticks and followed Grandpa Sheng.

As soon as they got to the study, Grandpa Sheng questioned him fiercely. “Look at you! What is this?”

“Aren’t you the one who made me into this? Sheng Kai leaned against the bookshelves and sneered. “Didn’t you turn your eyes to Third Brother because I have lost the support from the Gu family?”

Grandpa Sheng took a deep breath. Suddenly, he felt that it was impossible for him to communicate with Sheng Kai. Sheng Kai’s heart was filled with hatred now.

“In the meeting tomorrow, Third Brother will replace you as the CEO. You will swap your positions. Second Brother, with your mental state now you are not fit to be the CEO,” Grandpa Sheng said seriously. “You should think about it carefully.”

“There is nothing to think about. I don’t want to be the vice CEO. I plan to sell my shares and leave the Sheng family. I believe Grandpa will not stop a useless person like me from leaving.”

“Second Brother…” Grandpa Sheng was taken aback. “I told you I will never let anyone leave the Sheng family anymore.”

“Then don’t drag me down from the position of CEO!” Sheng Kai was overwhelmed with his emotions and exploded. “I am either the Crown Prince of Huang Yao, or… I’m nothing.” After that, Sheng Kai left the study.

Right then, Grandpa Sheng got so angry that he couldn’t support himself and leaned on the desk before pa.s.sing out once more.

Sheng Kai did not notice. He simply slammed the door and walked away.
