“Call me anytime.”


  Sheng Bowen nodded and looked at his sports watch. Realizing that it was getting late, he carried his luggage on his back. “It’s almost time for me to set off. I still have to take a detour to pick up Shen Yu.”


  Ren Yufei nodded lightly, her hands were already tightly clasped together. “I’ll send you off.”


  Sheng Bowen knew that she was worried, so he didn’t say anything. Seeing that she was so flustered that she had even put on the wrong shoes, he pressed her against the door and kissed her passionately.

  He couldn’t bear to part with her, but there were some things that he had to do.

  He couldn’t wait for others to plot against him before regretting it.

  Ren Yufei allowed herself to indulge in him, and her teeth were pried open by that soft tongue.

  The two kissed passionately for a long time before Sheng Bowen let go of her. “Don’t send me off. I’ll just leave.”


  With that, he disappeared from the door.

  Ren Yufei did not follow him out. She only touched her lips, because Sheng Bowen’s warmth was still lingering on them.

  “Be careful while you’re out.” This was Old Master Sheng’s last order.

  A moment later, Sheng Bowen’s black SUV disappeared from the Sheng family’s iron gate.

  It was eight o’clock in the morning.

  Sheng Bowen arrived at the villa, the address provided by Shen Yu before, on time. Shen Yu, who was dressed in light sports equipment, had been waiting at the entrance.

  “Have you been waiting for a long time?”


  “No.” Shen Yu put his backpack in the trunk and sat in the passenger seat.

  “If you haven’t slept enough, you can sleep a little longer. It’s a four-hour journey from here. By the time we reach the foot of the mountain, it’ll already be noon. We’ll have lunch at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. We’ll go up the mountain in the afternoon.”


  “Okay, sounds good.”


  In other words, the car would stop at the hotel. Shen Yu’s eyes gently glanced at the trunk.

  Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao saw the car moving from his laptop. He put it away and took his coat. He then went to pick up Mu Qiqi and set off for Mount Yueying.

  However, after picking up Mu Qiqi, she looked at Sheng Xiao’s new chauffeur and was a little puzzled. “Xu Che didn’t go home to visit his family, did he?”


  “Don’t be so smart. We’ll talk about this later.” Was all Sheng Xiao said.

  Mu Qiqi did not ask further. She looked at his laptop. “How many cameras did you install in Third Brother’s car? There’s not even a blind spot.”


  “Don’t talk. Lean against me and sleep for a while. It’ll take a long time.”


  “I’m just asking. How many more people did you bring?”


  “Four of them went ahead first. There are six more behind.” Sheng Xiao stared at the screen as he answered her very seriously.

  Mu Qiqi felt at ease and leaned into his arms. She would need to sleep for a few hours……

  When Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi set off, Sheng Bowen and Shen Yu were already at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. They had parked the car and had lunch.

  The two of them were traveling light and they carried a backpack each. It looked like they were really going to climb the mountain.

  “From the looks of it, this isn’t your first time climbing a mountain.” Sheng Bowen looked excited when he saw the professional equipment that Shen Yu brought out. “I’ve really found the right partner.”


  “Back when I was overseas, I didn’t have anywhere to vent when I was upset, so I often climbed mountains alone,” Shen Yu explained after putting on his hat.

  “I thought there was no case you couldn’t win.”


  “It’s precisely because you have to win that you have to put in more effort,” Shen Yu said, with some underlying message in his words. “I’m an orphan, unlike young masters like you who have lived a luxurious life since young. If I didn’t work hard, I wouldn’t have been able to live to this day.”


  “This is the first time I’ve heard you talk about yourself.” Sheng Bowen laughed as he walked. “Tell me more. I’m curious. We’re brothers, but I don’t know anything about you.”


  “I grew up in an orphanage. Later, I was adopted by an old man. He supported me until I graduated from college. After I became financially independent, I haven’t seen him since.” Shen Yu briefly described his background.

  “What about your girlfriend? Didn’t you date?” Sheng Bowen winked at him gossipily.

  “I did, but none of them lasted long.”


  “Then I shall find a suitable one and keep her for you. You’re my brother after all.” Sheng Bowen stopped and patted Shen Yu on the shoulder. “The scenery on Mount Yueying is very breathtaking. It’s a pity that Yufei can’t come with me. It’s such a beautiful place, yet I have to share it with a man. It feels weird,” Sheng Bowen said as he slightly pushed Shen Yu from behind.

  “Hurry up, it’ll take five to six hours to get up there.”


  Seeing that he had touched his backpack, Shen Yu subconsciously shifted his shoulder. “If I get serious, I’ll be very fast. You won’t be able to catch up at all.”


  Sheng Bowen couldn’t help but laugh. “Then let’s compete……”


  He had noticed Shen Yu’s action of protecting his backpack. However, he pretended that he hadn’t.

  His backpack was full of clothes and food, as well as some medicine and water. However, what was hidden in Shen Yu’s backpack was definitely a weapon that could be used against him.

  But, it didn’t matter because sooner or later, Shen Yu would open his bag in front of him……

  The two of them competed with each other and climbed to the top of the mountain. Even the two athletes took four and a half hours. Due to the uncertain weather on the mountain, Sheng Bowen suggested that they find a hotel to stay at first.

  “Young ones, don’t go any higher. It’s snowing heavily. Quickly find a place to stay,” the native on the mountain advised the two.

  Shen Yu and Sheng Bowen looked at each other and nodded. “Let’s find a lodging house.”


  In order not to arouse Shen Yu’s suspicion, Sheng Bowen did not book a hotel in advance. A random place would do just fine.

  The two of them found a hostel nearby to stay. Because of the snow, a bonfire was lit in the hostel. Sheng Bowen handed his coat to Shen Yu and smiled. “You said you often climb mountains, but you didn’t know you had to bring an extra coat.”


  “The mountains overseas aren’t this high or this cold.”


  “Looks like we’ll be staying here tonight. Do you want to drink?” Sheng Bowen sat on the chair and smiled. “In this kind of weather, with a bonfire and a little wine, I’ll be able to sleep very comfortably at night.”


  Mhm.

  Shen Yu nodded.

  No one knew what he was thinking. No, it should be said that at this moment, he actually didn’t know what Sheng Bowen was thinking. Did he really not have any vigilance at all?

  The two of them sat together with their own thoughts. After a short while, snow floated in. “It’s so beautiful.”


  “Then let’s take in the view a little longer.”


  Because once they entered, they wouldn’t be able to see anything……

  Sheng Bowen seemed to have read between the lines and smiled. “That’s right, it’ll be a rare opportunity in the future. I wanted to see the sunrise, but it seems like it’s gone now.”


  You won’t be able to see the sunrise tomorrow, Shen Yu thought to himself.

  How naive…… How stupid.

  Chapter 811 - Call the Police Immediately, I’ll Find a Way to Get Down the Mountain Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi had just arrived at the hotel at the foot of the

  Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi had just arrived at the hotel at the foot of the mountain. Although it was near the end of spring, it was still much cooler in the mountains than in the city.

  Coupled with the rain, Mu Qiqi had been huddled in Sheng Xiao’s arms ever since she got off the car and was shivering from the cold.

  After entering the hotel, Sheng Xiao carried her onto the big bed and covered her with a blanket.

  Mu Qiqi took some time to recover and finally stopped freezing. She then asked Sheng Xiao, “Any movement from Third Brother?”


  “There won’t be any tonight.” Sheng Xiao put down his laptop and looked at the GPS. One showed where Sheng Bowen was and the other showed his car parked in the hotel.

  “Shen Yu’s really patient.” Mu Qiqi poked her head out from under the blanket and watched the man beside her take off his clothes. A moment later, the hotel service delivered freshly cooked food. Mu Qiqi was so hungry that her eyes were glazed. She quickly got up.

  Sheng Xiao changed into a new set of clothes before sitting next to her and eating with her.

  “Why did you bring wine?”


  “This is plum wine brewed by the locals. Drink some and it’ll warm you up.” Sheng Xiao took out his wine glass and poured her a small sip.

  Usually, this man never let her drink. He also knew that she couldn’t hold her liquor well. Now that he had taken the initiative to let her drink, there must be something fishy going on.

  “Are you guys doing something tonight?” Mu Qiqi pressed Sheng Xiao’s hand and asked, “Are you trying to get me drunk so that you can go out on your own?”


  Sheng Xiao pointed at the laptop next to him with his chin and said, “There’s no movement over there now. Who knows what Shen Yu is planning.”


  After thinking about it, Mu Qiqi still trusted Sheng Xiao. After all, he would not have allowed Third Brother to go if the risk was too high.

  “Then I’ll drink a little.” Mu Qiqi held the wine glass and took a small sip. The fruit-scented liquor went straight into her stomach and instantly warmed her whole body. “How magical.”


  Sheng Xiao looked at her and did not say anything. A moment later, he saw that her face was already red and hot. “Okay, I’m dizzy.” With that, Mu Qiqi climbed onto the big bed behind her.

  Sheng Xiao got up and carried her onto it. Then, he lowered the temperature in the room so that she could sleep comfortably.

  Wasn’t this kind of weather suitable for sleeping?

  Mu Qiqi quickly fell asleep and her breathing gradually returned to normal. Sheng Xiao turned off the lights in the room. He sat in front of the laptop and gave Sheng Bowen a call.

  Sheng Bowen was still drinking on the mountain when he received the call. He generously answered the call in front of Shen Yu. “Eighth Brother, what’s the matter?”


  “Did you forget that there are still some things to do in Huang Yao, so you went out to play?” Sheng Xiao’s voice was cold, but it was also a familiar tone.

  “Wait for me to go back and look for you,” Sheng Bowen said with a slight smell of alcohol. “Anyway, I’m on the mountain now, so you won’t be able to find me.”


  “Come back soon.”


  “Got it, Eighth Brother. I’m drinking. I won’t talk to you anymore. It’s snowing on the mountain, and it’s so cold that my fingers hurt.” After he said that, Sheng Bowen hung up the phone.

  Shen Yu sat beside him and listened. His heart gradually relaxed because Sheng Xiao really did not notice. He had not even known that Sheng Bowen had gone out to climb the mountain.

  “It’s snowing away. Let’s continue drinking……”
……

  Sheng Xiao hung up the phone and looked at the laptop. There was no movement at all, just like the calm before the storm.

  It was also at this moment that Mu Qiqi suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at Sheng Xiao. “Xiao Xiao…… did something happen to Third Brother?”


  She was thinking about Shen Bowen in its heart, so she could not sleep well. Sheng Xiao hadn’t given her too much alcohol for fear that her stomach would feel uncomfortable.

  “No.” Sheng Xiao got up and sat on the bed. He held Mu Qiqi in his arms and comforted her. “Go to sleep.”


  Mu Qiqi opened her eyes wide and looked at Sheng Xiao. “You lied to me…… You just want to get me drunk.”


  Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He suddenly turned around and pressed her under him. Instead of lying to her and getting her drunk, he might as well use the most primitive method to make her fall into a deep sleep.

  Perhaps it was because of the effects of the alcohol, Mu Qiqi felt that her mind was empty and her whole body was floating.

  The familiar touch and the familiar kiss made Mu Qiqi enjoy it with her eyes closed. Soon, there were small moans coming out of her mouth. An intense love affair also came to an end in the heavy rain.

  This time, Mu Qiqi really fell asleep.

  Sheng Xiao got out of bed and wiped her down before letting her rest peacefully.

  Then, he put on his nightshirt and stood in front of the French window. The laptop beside him was switched on all the time, and the red dot on the screen blinked……

  At three o’clock in the morning, the heavy snow suddenly stopped.

  Sheng Bowen woke up from the sofa in the guesthouse and saw that the bonfire in front of him was still burning while Shen Yu was adding wood to it.

  “I fell asleep……”


  “Go in and sleep. You drank quite a lot,” Shen Yu urged him.

  “No need. I brought medicine. I’ll take one.” After saying that, Sheng Bowen was about to stagger up, but luckily Shen Yu held him up.

  “Where’s the medicine? I’ll get it for you……”


  “It’s in my backpack.” Sheng Bowen felt extremely dizzy and quickly sat back down on the sofa.

  Shen Yu entered the room to get Sheng Bowen’s medicine. A few minutes later, before he came back out, someone called Sheng Bowen.

  Sheng Bowen picked up the phone. It was from the hotel service at the foot of the mountain, calling anxiously. “Mr. Sheng, XX8467 is your license plate number, right?”


  “Yes, what’s the matter?”


  “The manager just went out to check and found that your car was missing. It seems to have been stolen.”


  Sheng Bowen woke up a little and immediately stood up. “Call the police immediately. I’ll find a way to get down the mountain.”


  Therefore, when Shen Yu came out, he saw Sheng Bowen asking the boss about going down the mountain.

  “It’s three o’clock in the morning. Even if the old man dared to drive this car, you wouldn’t dare to take it.” The owner of the lodging was a little troubled.

  “That car is really important to me,” Sheng Bowen said anxiously.

  “What’s wrong?” Shen Yu quickly went up to Sheng Bowen to pass him the medicine as he asked.

  “The hotel called and said that my car has been stolen. That car is very important to me, so I went to the boss to ask about going down the mountain.” Sheng Bowen tried his best to stay sober. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have drunk so much.”


  “Boss, I’ll pay double the price to send us down the mountain.” Shen Yu said, seeing how anxious Sheng Bowen was. “That car is very important to my friend.”


  The boss thought about it and finally nodded. “Then I’ll drive slowly.”


  “Okay!”
……

  It was three in the morning. Sheng Xiao finally saw the dot on the laptop screen moving down the mountain quickly.

  Sheng Bowen had gone down the mountain.

  As for Sheng Bowen’s car, of course he knew where it was and who stole it. After all, the car had very hidden surveillance cameras. However, why was Shen Yu luring Sheng Bowen down the mountain like that?

  It had just stopped drizzling outside, and the roads were slippery in the dark.

  After the car was stolen, it was placed in front of an abandoned winery. What was the purpose of this?
