Chapter 313 The Eve of the Shock
In the Sheng family, there was a tense and heavy atmosphere.
Mr. Sheng was busy making phone calls in the study to contact his subordinates.
The tears on Mrs. Sheng's face had not yet dried, so she took up her handkerchief and wiped them. She said nothing, but just looked at Sheng Huaian, with a barely perceptible smile floating across the corner of her mouth.
Sheng Huaian turned and walked away, but the bodyguard at the door quickly stretched out his arm to block his way.
The man turned around.
Mr. Sheng put down the phone in his hand and said in a steady tone, "This matter cannot be rushed. The situation is chaotic right now. Your aunt, Xian'er, and Jun'er have all been detained by the Inspection Office."
"I don't need to tell you who is behind the Audit Office. Don't you think this is too coincidental?"
Old Madam Sheng stood in the study, listening attentively to the conversation between the two. The light shone through the window lattice onto her, illuminating her face which was full of traces of time but still kind.
Her face instantly turned anxious, "Is there any new news about Yue'er? That's great! What are you still standing there for? Hurry and bring her over first!"
"If you ask me, Sheng Yao is really stupid! If she had known that Yue'er had a relationship with the Gu family, she would have gone to the Gu family to ask for culpability. Isn't this fratricide? Regardless of whether that person is Yue'er or not, since she showed up at this critical moment, we must pay attention to her!"
As she spoke, Old Lady Sheng's eyes turned red again, and she sighed in sorrow, "Alas, if Yue'er had shown up earlier, it would have been great. Her daughter wouldn't have become enemies with Sheng Yao. Who would have thought that the girl would actually broadcast Sheng Yao's video live! Public opinion outside has exploded. In the end, is it going to turn into a fight among our family members, killing each other?"
Mr. Sheng fell into a long silence.
Mother Lin stormed into Gu's house with great momentum and murdered people. Mr. Sheng originally thought that she was being plotted against. Now the person who plotted against Mother Lin... turned out to be Yue'er's daughter? How could he accept this result?
If that person is really Yue'er, and it is made public, wouldn't the Sheng family become the laughing stock of the world again?
What's more, he knew Lin's mother and Lin Xian'er's personalities, and they would definitely not accept such an outcome.
The eldest son is seriously ill, and the power in his hands is gradually being transferred to the second son who remains in the northwest Lizhou.
In fact, the answer is obvious.
Old Master Sheng sighed, "I heard that Xiao Jingrun showed up last night. Huai'an, you have a friendship with him, so you must know what he wants to do."
"He intends to take back the power in the hands of our big families. In the case of Sheng Yao, it was that girl who personally handed over the Sheng family's handle to Xiao Jingrun. Now they are all detained in the Inspection Office. I want to rescue them. I want..."
He wants to cut sharp and cut flesh, and be a brave man who cuts off his arm.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, Mr. Sheng could no longer use his power to pressure the Xiao family to release the person.
Old Madam Sheng's words reminded him that this was a critical moment, when the Sheng family was undergoing a transition in power.
It is like a huge ship changing its rudder in the wind and waves. It must not deviate from its course.
At this time, news about the missing eldest daughter suddenly came. Mr. Sheng had experienced ups and downs in his life, so he had to be on guard.
He would never dare to take the Sheng family's wealth and glory to gamble. What if there is a conspiracy against him behind this? In the past, there were many people who took advantage of his longing for his eldest daughter and tried to drag the Sheng family into an endless abyss.
"Huaian, your father has not fulfilled his responsibilities and taught you well over the years. You don't understand what family means. Many things, seemingly simple decisions, actually hide countless conspiracies." Old Master Sheng said earnestly.
"Think carefully about how you met that girl and who asked you to go to Gu's house." Old Master Sheng said in a reprimanding tone, "I haven't held you accountable yet. You are obviously a pawn in someone else's plan. You actually dared to shoot at your aunt."
"You have known them for a while, right? Why didn't you notice any clues related to Yue'er before? Why did everything just happen to be exposed when your aunt was looking for trouble?"
After a long period of silent confrontation, Sheng Huaian stared at Old Man Sheng, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes gradually faded.
"I understand, Grandpa."
"You are still the same as before. You said so much, but you chose them."
He insisted on leaving, and the bodyguards at the door were unable to stop Sheng Huaian, which really surprised Mr. Sheng.
This grandson is a jerk. He has learned some mediocre Kung Fu, but he can't compete with the bodyguards around him.
Mr. Sheng's bodyguards are all top elites carefully selected from the military camp.
Sheng Huaian kicked the bodyguard who was rushing towards him in the chest so fiercely that he actually kicked the man back.
Old Madam Sheng saw this and secretly hated him. She said, "Huai'an, what are you doing? Didn't you rebel long ago? You actually dared to fight in front of your grandfather. Do you still respect us elders?"
"Now is a time of trouble, everything should be done with prudence. How can your grandfather be at ease if you are so impatient?"
Judging from Sheng Huaian's attitude, he is going to the hospital to find his father.
"Sheng Cheng is still ill, and there is no confirmation on whether Yue'er has been found. If this is just another false alarm, I'm really afraid that his body won't be able to hold on any longer." Old Lady Sheng said to Old Man Sheng again.
Sheng's father, who is lying in the hospital, is also a big worry. He is terminally ill, but he still has a group of loyal old subordinates following him.
If Sheng Huaian really went to the hospital to ask his father for help, this matter would not end well.
In the past, Old Madam Sheng would not have stopped it. She wished that the sickly man would be pissed off to death. But now she really felt that something was fishy and was worried that the news from Sheng Yao was true. That woman might be Sheng Yue who had been missing for many years! She didn't dare to gamble!
"Sheng Huaian, this matter cannot be rushed. Who has bewitched you? How dare you attack my people?" Old Master Sheng was furious. "Your father is still ill. I have told you before that you should not involve him in anything until the coffin is opened!"
"I'm worried that if grandpa hesitates any longer, they will die! Someone will never show mercy!" The man's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he glanced coldly at Old Lady Sheng standing beside him.
Mr. Sheng was furious and immediately ordered his bodyguards, "Hurry up and stop him! If he gets away today, none of you will have a good life!"
The high walls block the view of the outside world. The courtyard is deep and the corridors are winding. The Sheng family mansion is like a mysterious backyard of a deep palace.
Sheng Huaian's face was filled with rage. He kicked the bodyguard away with one kick, then jumped down from the third floor regardless of everything.
His cell phone also rang at this time.
After landing, he fell far away, but the man had no time to care about it. He quickly got up from the ground, not daring to stop for a moment.
Then, an old hand slowly picked up the phone.
