“This is a man’s responsibility.” Sheng Xiao leaned back in his chair, his expression rather…… natural.

  Ever since Xu Che had been by Sheng Xiao’s side, all he had seen was Sheng Xiao’s responsible appearance. In the past, all ridiculous and frivolous things had been done by Jing Yun.

  However, even if it was the old Sheng Xiao who was faced with such a choice again, he would still be duty-bound, right?

  “I…… want to apply for a day off,” Xu Che suddenly said.

  “Why?” Sheng Xiao frowned.

  “In the past, when we were in the army, everyone would write a suicide note every time we went on a mission. I don’t know what we’ll encounter this time. I promised my big brother that I would go on a blind date. At least, let me meet the person I’m going on a blind date with.” Xu Che felt a little wronged.

  Having been by Sheng Xiao’s side for so long, he had forgotten that he still had a private life .

  Sheng Xiao thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement. “After this matter is over, you can go to work normally at night in the future. I won’t ask you to be a driver.”


  “That’s not necessary.” Xu Che had always been in the army and did not have many hobbies. It was a little interesting to be by Sheng Xiao’s side. He did not know what to do when he was told to go home at seven or eight o’clock every day.

  “Find a girlfriend quickly. Women are very magical.”


  Really? Xu Che did not have any thoughts.

  Actually, with this baby face, he felt that he could wait another five years.

  However, his family was really too anxious……

  After Sheng Xiao made the suggestion, Tang Yan was in a difficult position. On one side was Mu Qiqi, on the other side was Mu Qiqi’s aunt, and on another side was Sheng Xiao himself.

  Everyone was closely related to him.

  The thing Tang Yan could not bear the most right now was to see the person next to him get hurt. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was not necessary. With Sheng Xiao’s brain, Xu Che’s skills, and his assistance, it was actually not difficult to catch Feng Qiang.

  With this in mind, Tang Yan first went to the hotel where the Lou Corporation’s press conference was held during the day and pulled up the surveillance cameras to look for Feng Qiang.

  As expected by Sheng Xiao, the cunning Feng Qiang had put on the chef’s clothes and blended in with the pastry chef.

  In the end, he even gave the camera a middle finger in a provocative manner.

  It was clear to him that if Sheng Xiao exposed his tracks, then the person Feng Qiang would target was very likely to be Sheng Xiao himself.

  However, since things had come to this extent, Tang Yan thought that there was no better way.

  He returned home frowning.

  While Feng Shanshan coaxed the child, she could not help but ask when she saw him, “What’s wrong? Is the case not progressing smoothly?”


  “Feng Qiang hasn’t been caught yet. Sheng Xiao suggested using himself as bait to set up a trap, but I haven’t agreed yet.” Tang Yan turned around to look at the child and hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash his hands clean. Only then did he return to Feng Shanshan and want to hold the child.

  “The big CEO has joined the action personally. I’m guessing that it’s also because Xiao Qi is about to give birth and he wants to end this as soon as possible. Although I don’t know what you’re worried about, the chance to get Sheng Xiao to personally help is a once in a lifetime opportunity. He’s always been successful in the business world and he’s very good at reading the minds of his enemies. I think you guys have a good chance of winning,” Feng Shanshan analyzed the situation for him with a smile. “Although Xiao Qi would be worried if she knew, wouldn’t you be the same if it were you?”


  “That makes sense.” Tang Yan hugged his son and nodded. “But I need a more detailed plan.”


  “Then go quickly. Just give me the child.”


  Tang Yan returned his son to Feng Shanshan and kissed her forehead. “I owe you a lot.”


  “Once you solve the case, do you think I won’t have a chance to get back at you? Yan, I don’t have any other requests. You just have to take care of your own safety. After all, you’re already a father. You also have to take care of the safety of that big CEO because he’s going to be a father soon.”


  “Don’t worry.”


  Since he was going to do it, he had to make sure nothing went wrong.

  Therefore, before the next morning, Tang Yan had already replied to Sheng Xiao. “We can follow your plan. However, the Song father and son are going to be released tomorrow morning. We have to think of a way to stall these two.”


  “That’s up to you,” Sheng Xiao stood by the window in his black nightgown and replied softly.

  “I got it.”


  Actually, it was not that difficult.

  Since the Song father and son were connected to the suspect, the police could find an excuse to monitor them 24 hours a day to prevent Feng Qiang from contacting them.

  In addition, the Yashang Group was already facing internal and external problems to begin with, so they believed that the father and son duo would not be in the mood to do anything else, especially if it had anything to do with Sheng Xiao.

  “But you have to deal with Qiqi.”


  “You don’t have to worry about that.” With that, Sheng Xiao hung up the phone. When he turned around, he saw Mu Qiqi sitting on the bed and looking at him. “Did I wake you up?”


  “Were you on the phone with Captain Tang again?” Mu Qiqi asked in a daze. “Get some rest. Don’t make a fuss over me, okay?”


  Sheng Xiao returned to his bed and reached out to hug her. However, he saw her pained expression. “What’s wrong?”


  “Leg cramp.” Mu qiqi blinked and said, “It’s a very common problem when you’re in the middle and late stages of pregnancy.”


  Without another word, Sheng Xiao grabbed her leg and gently massaged it. “Do you know how hard it is to be pregnant now? Are you going to have more babies in the future?”


  “Yes, I am,” Mu Qiqi answered without a care in the world. “Think about how many brothers and sisters you have. If the two of us have only one, when I’m with you, the child will be all alone.”


  “You’re the only one with a lot of twisted logic.” Sheng Xiao finished massaging her calf and then said softly, “In two days, I’m going to Z City for a meeting. I wanted to bring you along, but you’re old now, so you should stay at home.”


  When Mu Qiqi heard this, she immediately put away her smile and asked seriously, “How many days are you going for?”


  “I’ll be back the next day.”


  “Alright. Be careful.” Mu Qiqi was such a sensitive person, so her mind would be in a mess. Sheng Xiao said that he was going on a business trip, but at this juncture, who would believe that?

  However, she would not stop him.

  This was because she understood Sheng Xiao. If she could not fight alongside him, then she would stand behind him so that he would have nothing to worry about.

  “Are you comfortable now? Go to sleep.”


  “Alright, hug me. Hug me tightly.”


  Actually, the both of them understood each other well. Sheng Xiao knew that he could not hide anything from her. He was also certain that she would not stop him.

  She was the one who knew him the best in the world.

  This was because in Mu Qiqi’s heart, the Sheng Xiao that she knew was never a timid person. He only did what he was confident in.

  Worst case scenario, she would follow him till death……

  The next day, the Song father and son who had been locked in the interrogation room for 24 hours were released. Just as Officer Long had expected, the father and son immediately complained.

  However, Tang Yan did not care. He directly sent Old Cheng and another policeman to follow them.

  “Why?” Song Bozhi frowned unhappily. “So I haven’t been freed yet?”
