Very soon, the police reported Cheng Bin’s case.

  Cheng Bin had been shot and Song Qiaozhi had been unable to hold onto Feng Shanshan. Jin Bo was furious, but he also began to suspect that Sheng Kai was communicating with Sheng Xiao.

  After all, on the night before the incident, Jin Bo and Cheng Bin had spoken on the phone. Since the mission failed, it must mean that someone had leaked information to Sheng Xiao.

  There was no one else but Sheng Kai.

  Song Qiaozhi had taken advantage of Tang Yan’s injury to escape home. Jin Bo could not blame her. Even if she was a wild one, she was still his daughter. Being hung on a cliff overlooking the ocean by Tang Yan was not an everyday activity and it induced fear. Moreover, he had been heartless and did not care about his daughter’s life and death at that time. Song Qiaozhi did not harbor any resentment toward him. He had already let her down.

  If there was anyone to blame, it was the person who had informed Sheng Xiao of anything.

  Thereafter, Jin Bo ordered his men to tie Sheng Kai up, lock him up in a dark room, and interrogate him.

  “CEO Sheng, what Mr. Jin hates the most in his life is betrayal. He trusted you so much and even gave you Changrong Electronics. Aren’t you letting him down too much?”


  Sheng Kai’s hands were tied and he was hung in mid-air. His expression was a little wooden. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


  “If you hadn’t tipped Sheng Xiao, how would he have known that Miss Song was helping Cheng Bin?”


  “I have no idea what you’re talking about. The Sheng family and I are irreconcilable enemies. Why would I help Sheng Xiao?”


  “It looks like you want to taste something even more powerful……”


  Sheng Kai’s screams were heard from the pitch-black room. Mixed with the humidity in the basement, it was unbelievably scary.

  After Song Qiaozhi’s identity was exposed, she obviously couldn’t go back to work at the hospital, so she followed Jin Bo and waited on him.

  “Mr. Jin, Sheng Kai refuses to talk despite almost getting beaten to death. He didn’t know anything.” The interrogator tortured Sheng Kai for a night, but he didn’t get anything out of him.

  “I’d rather kill a thousand people than let one go. Sheng Xiao made me lose two helpers and saved Tang Yan. It’s not too much for me to make the Sheng family lose one person.”


  “Dad, Cheng Bin didn’t tell Sheng Kai about me. Why is Sheng Kai to blame?” Song Qiaozhi was confused. “Besides, think about it. If Sheng Kai knew about this, Sheng Xiao wouldn’t have allowed me to stay by Feng Shanshan’s side for so long. Wasn’t it useful for you to keep him? Why are you blaming him now?”


  After hearing this, Jin Bo looked at his daughter in confusion. “Are you sure he doesn’t know?”


  “Think about it. Cheng Bin went crazy for revenge. Why would he tell Sheng Kai about such an important matter?” Song Qiaozhi asked Jin Bo. “A little test for you. Is Sheng Kai loyal or not?”


  Jin Bo thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense.

  “But now, I’ve already used a heavy punishment……”


  “If you really want to keep Sheng Kai as a chess piece, then leave it to me. I promise that he will never betray you,” Song Qiaozhi promised Jin Bo.

  “Your brother will be back soon. Take care of these things quickly,” Jin Bo replied. He tacitly agreed. He left Sheng Kai to Song Qiaozhi. Why did he insist on keeping Sheng Kai? After his son returned, he would make a bigger move on Jianchuan. At that time, it would be difficult to find a scapegoat.

  Sheng Kai was such a suitable person…… One in ten thousand.

  Song Qiaozhi nodded and went to the basement.

  Seeing the man covered in wounds, Song Qiaozhi felt that this was the manliest Sheng Kai’s been.

  All kinds of interrogation tools had been used on him, but he didn’t say a word.

  Song Qiaozhi asked someone to send Sheng Kai, who had fainted, to her new place. Then, she personally stitched him up.

  Since there was no anesthesia, Sheng Kai woke up. When he saw Song Qiaozhi, he frowned and looked guarded.

  “Don’t move. You’re seriously injured.”


  “I……”


  “If you want to live well, then listen to my arrangements,” Song Qiaozhi said seriously as she applied medicine on him. “You know your situation. If you follow my father, you’ll die. Although I don’t know who got you in, I believe that the Sheng family wants to drag you out.”


  “You…… are Godfather’s daughter?”


  “I may be his daughter, but he’s said that I’m just one of many. I’m not worth much,” Song Qiaozhi explained. “Because of your information, Sheng Xiao saved Tang Yan. However, you’re in danger because of that. Do you blame him?”


  Sheng Kai did not know how he felt.

  He gritted his teeth because he knew that if he admitted it, he would end up dead.

  “I’m not as noble as you think. I hate the Sheng family. This is deeply ingrained. Moreover, I’m not helping him. I’m only helping myself.”


  “After you leave this door of mine, don’t trust anyone, especially my father. But you must pretend to obey him. That way, you’ll live longer.”


  After Sheng Kai heard this, he sneered.

  “You should know your role. You are my father’s scapegoat from the beginning. As for whether you’ll be his scapegoat or my brother’s scapegoat in the end, it’s hard to say.”


  “Then why are you doing this?” Sheng Kai looked at her. “You’re his daughter. Why are you……”


  “Whether you believe it or not, I hope you’ll live.” After saying that, Song Qiaozhi helped him treat all his wounds. “Life isn’t as bad as you think. Many things are caused by the Devil in your heart. You’re not as bad as you think you are.”


  “Just because I helped Sheng Xiao?” Sheng Kai sneered coldly. “If I knew I would be tortured like this, I wouldn’t have……”


  “You knew. You know what kind of person my father is.”


  Sheng Kai did not reply.

  “Because from the bottom of your heart, you trust your brother, Sheng Xiao.”


  “You seem to know the Sheng family very well.”


  “If you want to deal with your enemy, you have to understand what their internal conflicts are, haven’t you?” Song Qiaozhi’s words were also somewhat sarcastic. “You can sleep here today. Go back tomorrow and think about what I said.”


  “I don’t understand you.”


  Tang Yan had also said this yesterday.

  “There’s food in the fridge. If you’re hungry, you can help yourself.” After saying that, Song Qiaozhi put away the medical kit, took his bag, and hurried out of the door. She was also involved in Feng Shanshan’s kidnapping. Originally, this matter could have been resolved satisfactorily, but something had happened with the middle-aged woman.

  If Tang Yan wanted to pursue the matter, so be it. However, she was not worried about this matter because Jin Bo would definitely think of a way to suppress it for her.

  Sheng Kai touched his wound and sat on the sofa without moving.

  He suddenly realized that besides Gu Ziling’s entire family, he hated himself the most.

  Sheng Xiao’s words of letting bygones be bygones and luring him almost cost him his life.

  Hehe, wasn’t he too easy to fool?
