He reached out and swiped the reject button on his phone screen.
But it didn't work.
Is this some kind of ghost?
Sheng Jing swallowed hard, weakly leaning against the wall: "W-what should we do?"
Sheng Jiagui gritted his teeth: "Answer the phone."
Sheng Jing: "I...I dare not..."
"Useless thing." Sheng Jiagui snatched Sheng Jing's phone, swiped to answer, "Xiao Ai? What's up?"
"Fourth Brother, Second Brother, you must go to bed before 11 p.m.." Sheng Ai's voice was still mechanical, pleasant but without warmth. "You should come back early and go to bed on time, otherwise it will harm your health."
The Sheng family was quite strict with Sheng Ai's upbringing, requiring her to go to bed before 11 p.m. every night.
Sheng Ai also understands the family's good intentions and has always strictly abided by these beneficial family rules.
Sheng Jiagui and Sheng Jing, however, felt their foreheads twitch as they listened, cursing inwardly.
Sleeping like a mule...
What era are we living in? What young person goes to bed before 11 p.m.?
Nightlife doesn't really begin until 11 p.m.
If you go to sleep this early, what's the point of living?
Sheng Jiagui suppressed his murderous aura and said, "Fourth Brother and Second Brother have important work to attend to. Could they go back a little later?"
"No, you can't." Sheng Ai's voice even carried a hint of concern. "Health is the foundation of everything. The brothers can't work overtime this late. They must rest when it's time."
Sheng Jiagui: "But..."
Sheng Ai: "Brother's health is the most important thing. If you don't come back, I'll come pick you up right now."
"I will make sure you get home before 11 o'clock."
here we go again!
here we go again!
Is this never going to end?
Sheng Jiagui closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clenched his free hand into a fist, making several stabbing motions as if he were holding a knife.
"No, it's not safe for you to go out so late. Let's go back."
Sheng Ai: "Second brother, you can't lie to me, or I'll get angry."
Sheng Jing couldn't help but interject, "If you're angry, will you... will you hit your brother?"
Sheng Ai: "I will not hit my brother. I will only keep him by my side and watch over him personally to prevent him from doing anything reckless."
This is utter nonsense!
You're the one who's messing around!
No one has ever been more reckless than you!
Sheng Jing looked at Sheng Jiagui, his eyes saying, "[How terrifying...]"
Sheng Jiagui's expression grew increasingly cold: "Go home."
When he got on the bus, he called Attorney Guan to reschedule, but found that Attorney Guan's phone was switched off.
Having no other option, he could only message Attorney Guan, hoping to reschedule for another time.
Sheng Jiagui did not see this at that moment.
Attorney Guan sat by the window, her eyes blazing with anger as she watched him and Sheng Jing get into the car through the crack in the wooden windowpane, while she made a phone call.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to meet your requirements and will not let your daughter suffer any losses."
"As long as Shengjing contacts me, I will inform you immediately."
After making the call.
Attorney Guan gave a sinister smile. [Sheng Jiagui, you've stood me up twice in a row. Do you think I'm easy to bully?]
[You just wait, I'll show you what I'm capable of tonight.]
Then he made a phone call: "Release the video at 2 a.m., and buy a few trending topics. Make sure the whole internet knows that this case is related to Shengjing..."
On the way back, the three Sheng brothers were practically going crazy.
Go to bed at 11 p.m.
I get up around 6 a.m. for a morning run...
Dinner is served between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM...
If things continue like this, how are they supposed to get anything done?
You know, many shady things can only be done at night, especially late at night...
Not being allowed to go out at night, isn't that going to kill them?
After thinking it over and over...
The only thing I can do is keep Sheng'ai calm for now, and then sneak out...
That's what they thought, and that's what they did. As soon as they got home, they obediently took a shower, went to bed, and went to sleep.
only……
At 1:30 a.m., the three brothers, dressed neatly, had just opened the front door when a faint voice sounded behind them: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, where are you going so late?"
