Although his enemies were coming for him, Sheng Bowen was clear about his feelings, so his mood was exceptionally relaxed.

  Seeing Sheng Bowen leave so quickly, Papa Hu was worried that his daughter might be feeling wronged, so he quickly went to comfort her. However, Hu Ran looked at peace.

  “Daughter, why did Third Young Master come here so late at night?”


  “Dad, you don’t have to worry about me pestering him in the future. We’re family now.” Hu Ran reached out and hugged Papa Hu’s arm. “You’re right. There’s no love between Sheng Bowen and me. There’s only family love. So from now on, we’ll only be family and friends.”


  “Of course I’m happy that you think that way. Don’t worry. My daughter is so great. She’ll definitely meet her lover.” Papa Hu patted the back of Hu Ran’s hand.

  The Hu family had met with a little trouble recently. Papa Hu did not tell Hu Ran because he was afraid that she would be worried.

  The two of them chatted for a while. Before Hu Ran went to bed, she received an unfamiliar phone call.

  “Hu Ran…… Miss Hu?”


  When Hu Ran heard the voice, she was a little confused. “You are?”


  “My surname is Yan, and I’m a lawyer. You have yet to deal with the matter of my car.”


  Hu Ran immediately reacted after being reminded by the person on the line. The ghost figure she met last night reminded her of the man in the Black Windbreaker.

  “I’m really sorry. I’ll get someone to deal with it tomorrow. I’ll contact your lawyer.”


  “Please do not forget. Don’t let others waste their time on your mistake.”


  After saying that, the caller hung up. Hu Ran didn’t even know how he got her phone number.

  The next morning, Hu Ran first called the other party’s lawyer to deal with the matter.

  The man called her in a sinister manner to urge her, causing her to have a nightmare for the entire night.

  Then, she received a call from Gu Ziling. “Shall we meet today?”


  Thinking of the promise she made with Sheng Bowen last night, Hu Ran nodded. “Of course……”


  She was going to settle things with Gu Ziling today. At the same time, she was going to get this person who wanted to threaten and use her out of her sight.

  But would it be that simple?

  It seemed like Sheng Kai was planning on tying everyone together and catching them all in one go. However, wasn’t he overestimating his own ability?

  In order to resolve Sheng Kai’s matter, Sheng Bowen personally went to Zhongteng to talk to Sheng Xiao.

  He also told Sheng Xiao about Sheng Kai’s delusions of using the two women.

  “Do you really think that he would count on Hu Ran? If yes, then he’s even dumber than before. Hu Ran wouldn’t be controlled so easily by him. Even if she could be, he’s not one to depend on a woman. So, Hu Ran’s move is just to mess with you.”


  “No matter what, I can’t let the two women shelter me from the wind and rain. Eighth Brother, can we think of a way to do something about this? We don’t know Second Brother’s purpose at the moment. Can we use a trick to lure him in?”


  “How do you want to do that?” Sheng Xiao crossed his legs and looked at Sheng Bowen.

  “First of all, we definitely can’t follow Hu Ran’s lead. It’s too dangerous. That’s the women’s fight. Didn’t Sheng Kai leak the design of Huang Yao’s new product to Third Master Long? I think we can follow this lead. It’s also his most important one. As long as I go to see Third Master Long……”


  “What makes you think you’ll be able to get anything out of him?” Sheng Xiao asked him back.

  “That’s the only way to find out what kind of trick Sheng Kai is playing, isn’t it? This is the fastest way.”


  “You’re crazy!” Sheng Xiao retorted. “You want to go against something that even I’m not sure about?”


  “It’s exactly because everyone knows that you’re smart and not easy to fool that others will be on their guard against you. But it’s different for me. I’m going on stage with all my courage, so I’ll be lowering their guard. Maybe it’ll really work. I’ll pretend that I don’t know anything and bring people to find trouble with Third Master Long. I’ll see how he reacts and adapt accordingly.”


  “I don’t agree.”


  “Eighth Brother, do you want Grandpa to open his head again? When the time comes, I’ll need your special assistant Xu for a while.”


  Sheng Xiao took a deep breath. He felt that he must have gone crazy to be convinced by Sheng Bowen.

  “I can’t make a decision on this matter. I need to find someone else.”


  “Who else do you need to find?”


  Sheng Xiao stood in front of the French window and made a phone call. Sheng Bowen did not know who he was calling. It was rare for him to encounter something that even Eighth Brother found difficult to handle. He had always ignored many things in the past and did not acknowledge his family. Now, he was starting to cherish his life.

  Soon, Tang Yan, wearing a black jacket, arrived at Zhongteng’s office.

  The women in the office all lost their composure when they saw such an authoritative man. It was almost like meeting their own president.

  “Mr. Tang, this way, please.” The secretary led Tang Yan to Sheng Xiao’s office.

  Sheng Bowen saw Tang Yan’s figure and temperament and immediately remembered who he was.

  “Why did you call me here?” Tang Yan asked Sheng Xiao directly.

  “Right now, Third Master Long and the traitor of the Sheng family are planning on attacking us, and Cheng Bin may also be involved. Do you want to follow this lead?”


  Sheng Xiao strolled from the French window to the sofa and sat down. “I called you here because I want to know who is more difficult to deal with, a person like Third Master Long or Cheng Bin.”


  “Of course it’s Third Master Long,” Tang Yan replied. “Think about it. A few years ago, I almost wiped them all out. However, he was the only one who got off scot-free. He wiped himself clean. Do you think such a person would be easy to deal with?”


  Sheng Xiao looked at Sheng Bowen after listening. “Did you hear that?”


  “But we can’t just sit here and wait for death.”


  “What exactly happened?” Tang Yan asked the two of them. Did they call him here just to ask about Third Master Long?

  This obviously did not sound like Sheng Xiao’s style.

  He was the type to act swiftly and decisively, not the type to waste time.

  “Tell him, he’s someone you can trust……” Sheng Xiao said directly to Sheng Bowen because he could see Sheng Bowen’s concerns……

  This was Huang Yao’s internal secret after all, so he obviously wouldn’t spread it around.

  However, since Sheng Xiao could trust him, Sheng Bowen didn’t have any more concerns. He directly told Tang Yan about the leak of the design.

  “Since it involves standards and patents, a professional would make things easier. Captain Tang, isn’t that right?” Sheng Xiao looked at Tang Yan and asked.

  “Actually, although Third Young Master’s plan is a little risky, it’s not impossible. I’ll help you deal with the aftermath,” Tang Yan said with a cold expression. “I’d like to see how long these people want to stay in hiding.”


  He had originally expected to take revenge on him immediately, but the group of people had yet to take action.

  What were they waiting for?

  “In that case, let’s go meet Third Master Long,” Sheng Xiao said calmly.
