The case of Sheng Bowen’s car accident was broadcasted on the television news. The voices of the public against Huang Yao had also become much quieter.

  Seeing that the problem of Huang Yao had been easily solved by Sheng Xiao and the others, Sheng Kai felt rather uncomfortable. He did not know why, but Sheng Bowen’s ability was average. But how was he always able to turn misfortune into luck? It was as if everyone was rushing to help him solve his problems. What was this?

  In the past, he had worked so hard for Huang Yao and for his grandfather. He was willing to give anything, but in the end?

  Now, it was like a complete joke.

  Perhaps those people in the Sheng family had never treated him as a family.

  For this, Sheng Kai called Jin Bo and said in an unconvinced tone, “Godfather, Sheng Bowen is fine……”


  “He’s fine. It’s still an unknown fact. Why are you so impatient?” On Jin Bo’s side, he patiently lectured him.

  “But……”


  “Just wait and see, child. There’s still a good show to come. You should know that the lawyer Sheng Xiao hired from abroad to defend Sheng Bowen is my student. After he arrived in Jianchuan last night, he called me.”


  Sheng Kai realized something after hearing this. He quickly said to Jin Bo, “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of this matter.”


  “I said that I’ll give you a big gift. I won’t let you down!”


  With that, Sheng Kai was relieved. Even if Sheng Xiao had planned everything, he would never have expected that he would be sending a sheep to the tiger’s mouth just by hiring a lawyer for Sheng Bowen.

  If Sheng Bowen found out about this in the future, would he hate Sheng Xiao to the core?……

  The next day at noon, Sheng Xiao arranged to meet the lawyer. The lawyer had handled many cases like Sheng Bowen’s. He was very experienced in such cases.

  Sheng Xiao arranged lunch near Zhongteng. It seemed like he wanted to discuss the case with him personally although he did not need to understand how a lawyer could win a case. He spent money to hire people and did the most professional thing, and he did not need to do it himself.

  The reason why he insisted on meeting this lawyer was because he had to make sure that he could be trusted.

  After Mu Qiqi heard about it, she also wanted to meet this person, so she took advantage of the school’s lunch break to go to the restaurant that Sheng Xiao had arranged to meet.

  The other party was about 27 or 28 years old and was quite a good-looking man. He was very popular with girls and quite fashionable. He wore a dark green suit and looked very pleasing to the eye.

  When Sheng Xiao saw Mu Qiqi, he beckoned her with his finger.

  Mu Qiqi took the seat next to Sheng Xiao. She picked up his coffee cup and drank from it without any distinction between the two of them.

  “Sorry for running all the way here……”


  Sheng Xiao took the opportunity to remove a leaf from Mu Qiqi’s head. The two of them were very close and it was obvious.

  Then, the waiter in the restaurant served Mu Qiqi with bowls and chopsticks.

  “Hello, Mr. Lawyer.”


  “Hello,” the lawyer sitting opposite the two of them replied, smiling.

  “This is my wife. Don’t mind her, Lawyer Shen. She just likes to join in on the fun.” Sheng Xiao finished his introduction with a few words and then motioned for Mu Qiqi to bury herself in the food and not interrupt.

  “Mrs. Sheng is a famous person in Jianchuan. Seeing her today really leaves a deep impression.” Lawyer Chen was a gentleman.

  However, his words piqued Mu Qiqi’s interest. “I didn’t know that I was so famous.”


  Mu Qiqi’s words had a deeper meaning.

  Of course, he probably didn’t realize it.

  “I’ve heard a lot of stories……”


  “Didn’t you want to talk about Third Brother? How’s the conversation going?” Mu Qiqi quickly changed the topic. She actually wanted to continue, but a certain person’s face was about to change again.

  “I want to look at the information in detail, as well as the police’s incident identification letter, so I can’t come up with any results from the discussion yet,” Lawyer Shen answered Mu Qiqi very naturally.

  Mu Qiqi glanced at him and then at Sheng Xiao. So she had come here for nothing?

  “Mrs. Sheng, don’t worry. Since I’ve taken over this case, I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”


  It was an easy reply given by a smart person.

  The three of them had a pleasant lunch together. Then, Lawyer Shen left because of another case.

  “Is it really okay to hand Third Brother’s case over to him?”


  Mu Qiqi looked at the figure disappearing as she asked Sheng Xiao.

  “There’s no other suitable candidate at the moment.”


  “I believe in the Sheng family’s lawyer more,” Mu Qiqi said this seemingly unintentional sentence, but Sheng Xiao heard it. “Since you’ve already made the arrangements for this matter, I’ll going to have to ask for leave from you. The school has organized a spring outing. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning for two days and one night. Tomorrow night, you’ll be alone in an empty room.”


  “What kind of event? Where will it be held?”


  “At a nearby resort. I didn’t want to go, but the faculty head has done me a big favor for Third Brother’s matter. I can’t just not participate in every event every year, so I agreed to it.”


  Sheng Xiao had wanted to take care of Mu Qiqi’s team funding this time, but after some thought, he decided not to.

  “Don’t you have class in the afternoon? Aren’t you supposed to hurry?”


  Mu Qiqi looked at the time and quickly left. “It’s late. We’ll talk tonight.”


  Having this girl by his side really eased a lot of the boredom in life.

  However, not long after the two of them left, a black car drove out from the alley. The person in the car was controlling the steering wheel while making a call. “I’ve seen him. I don’t need you to worry. I know what to do.”


  He had heard that Sheng Xiao loved to play games. If that was the case, then this round would depend on whether he had a chance of winning!

  Let’s see whether or not he could drag Sheng Bowen, who was now half a leg in prison, out of the endgame……

  It was already evening by the time Mu Qiqi returned home from school. She saw that Mama Sheng and Papa Sheng had returned from their trip abroad.

  It seemed like their world was coming to an end.

  “Xiao Qiqi, come quickly. I brought you a gift from abroad……” Mama Sheng took out a small box from her room as if she was presenting a treasure. “See if you like it.”


  Mu Qiqi opened it and saw that it was a set of autopsy knives.

  Mama Sheng was probably the only one who would give her daughter-in-law knives.

  However, Mu Qiqi liked it.

  “Thank you, Mommy…… I’ll use it well.” Mu Qiqi touched it lovingly. This was really good stuff.

  After all, she didn’t lack anything. That was why Mama Sheng was concerned about what she needed the most.

  “I’ve heard about Third Brother’s matter. Has it been resolved?”


  Mu Qiqi shook her head. “We’re still waiting for the accident liability certificate.”


  “It’s also because we’re making things difficult for that child. He’s met with all sorts of misfortune. You and Eighth brother must help him more.”


  “Why are you back so soon? Your trip was supposed to be longer, a few more days. I haven’t had enough alone time with this girl yet……”


  Not far away, Sheng Xiao’s voice was heard. His tone was filled with disappointment and regret.
