Chapter 475 Showdown
Sheng Huaian has been guarding Grandpa Sheng's bedside these days. When others see him, they all praise him for being filial and being able to accompany Grandpa Sheng even though his injuries have not healed yet.
Seeing him like this, Mr. Sheng finally told him about the past, "Huai'an, do you hate me in your heart?"
Sheng Huaian had a helpless smile on his face and said in an unreconciled tone, "You are the elder, how dare your grandson blame you."
Mr. Sheng was probably really desperate. After going around in circles, he ended up back where he was, and the only people he could rely on were his eldest son's family.
He no longer held back, knowing that he would not live long, so he gradually transferred the relevant properties to Sheng Huaian over the past few days, and contacted relevant agencies to draft another agreement, making Sheng Huaian the sole heir to the Sheng family.
I thought Sheng Huaian would be touched after hearing these words, but I didn't expect him to calmly ask in front of the agency staff: "Isn't Zhiyue more suitable than me?"
Old Master Sheng waved his hand tiredly, signaling the people around him to leave. He was old and exhausted. He looked at his grown-up grandson again and felt a lot of emotion.
"She is a girl and will get married sooner or later. Huai'an, you are her brother, and you are the one who decides her marriage. No matter if it is the Xiao family, the Qin family, or the Mu family, whoever can give you the greatest help as your brother-in-law, you should marry him."
Compared to other heirs, Sheng Huaian is not ruthless enough. Old Master Sheng can see that he cares deeply for Jiang Zhiyue, and he also knows that Sheng Huaian is kind-hearted and hesitant for his own selfish interests.
For the future of the Sheng family, Mr. Sheng had to remind them, "The three states also embody your father's hard work. You must not let it fall into the hands of thieves. You must protect the Sheng family."
It was midsummer, the heat was unbearable. For some unknown reason, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside. The sound of heavy rain, accompanied by the gloomy night, old man Sheng lay tiredly on the bed, looking out the window, as if he had returned to the rainy night a few days ago.
——Mrs. Sheng claimed that this was the first case he handled when he first started his official career under the supervision of his father.
Mr. Sheng ordered Sheng Huaian to go to Fisher Bank in Monterey Park and open the files in the underground safe. The cowhide bag contained documents containing various cases that Mr. Sheng had handled throughout his life.
What Sheng Huaian was holding in his hand was the information related to Old Madam Sheng. From the first day that Old Madam Sheng came to the Sheng family, her name was fake.
"I have done a lot of wrong things in my life. I'm sorry to your father and you, as well as Rou'er and Zhiyue... But I don't regret dealing with the Wen family." Grandpa Sheng's voice sounded even more tired, and a moist light overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Sheng Huaian was flipping through the documents and looked up at Old Man Sheng again. His handsome face no longer had the usual cynicism, but instead seemed a bit indifferent.
Mrs. Sheng's real name is Wen Meiling. Her father, Wen Qiang, once worked in North Sili Province as a trade and foreign affairs officer, in charge of the entire state's economy. In a corruption case, he was found to have embezzled 50 billion yuan and was suspected of smuggling, human trafficking, colluding with foreign enemies and other serious crimes. He was sentenced to death under the Brandenburg Autonomy Act.
Old Madam Sheng was the youngest daughter of the Wen family. She was sent abroad in her early years and records showed that she died in a car accident.
In fact, it was a new look, and after many years it returned to the Sheng family's territory.
Sheng Huaian looked at the face in the profile photo and thought of how old Madam Sheng looked when she was young. He couldn't help but sneer, "She is so bold that she even changed her appearance."
"It turns out that the woman that Grandpa loved for so many years was a fake person from the beginning to the end. For this hypocritical woman, Grandpa ignored my father's suffering and my aunt's experience."
"You already knew that this woman was responsible for my aunt's disappearance. You chose to protect her because you loved her from the bottom of your heart."
Sheng Huaian closed the document, and the yellowed paper was unconsciously crumpled into a ball in his hands. He lit the lighter, and the document turned into ashes in the red flames.
"Grandpa is willing to tell me the truth now, and tell me everything without reservation, because my last name is Sheng, and I am the only person you can rely on. You have no choice."
Mr. Sheng was still immersed in the pain of betrayal when he suddenly heard Sheng Huaian's no longer calm tone and even detected the strong sarcasm in his words.
There was an eerie silence in the ward.
Sheng Huaian was wearing a loose hospital gown, and his slightly pale face revealed a sickly weakness under the light.
He stood up, walked slowly to the window and pushed it open. The wind and rain outside were even more violent at this moment, and even the heaven and earth were wailing at the depressing atmosphere in the house.
The cold rain hitting his face made his mind clearer, and his dark eyes could not hide the sharpness.
Like a silent decision.
With the previous experience, Mr. Sheng suddenly realized that something was wrong. He quickly reached out and pressed the alarm next to him, shouting breathlessly: "Bodyguard! Bodyguard!"
However, outside the corridor, it became as silent as death.
Mr. Sheng continued to press the alarm bell, then called out loudly: "Nurse! I need a nurse!"
The alarm did not ring and no one answered the door.
Sheng Huaian turned his head to the side, his slightly wet black hair sticking to his cheek. A ray of dim and bleak light was shining on him, illuminating the darkness in his eyes.
"Grandpa seems nervous? Are you worried about what I might do to you?"
"Indeed, as you are alone and helpless, you should be afraid, but I think you should also listen to my story."
"If I'm right, that woman came to you to ask for the munitions code and threatened that you would die that night. But now you are lying in bed safe and sound. Do you know why?"
"That's because I knew from the beginning that your supplements had been tampered with, so I asked someone to slightly adjust the dosage."
"In my original plan, all the direct and side branches of the Sheng family will die, except for you... I will leave you to Zhiyue. When the time comes, she will be the only one left in the Sheng family, and you will have to hand the family over to her."
"Unfortunately, my plan was ruined."
As Sheng Huaian finished his words, Grandpa Sheng's heart rose into his throat. He struggled to turn over and get out of bed to escape from this dangerous place, but his body seemed to be drained out and he couldn't muster any strength at all. He opened his eyes wide in horror and looked at the man in the wind and rain.
“You, you…”
Mr. Sheng's voice was trembling, "I'm handing over everything that's left of the Sheng family to you. What else do you want from me?"
Sheng Huaian sneered, "Give it to me? It would be more appropriate to say alms. Grandpa, have you ever asked me if I am willing to accept it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunder outside. Mr. Sheng covered his chest tightly and looked at the man walking towards him.
