Shang Boyu had almost packed his things last night. Now he would complete the discharge procedures, pick up his things and leave.
I originally thought I would be able to be discharged from the hospital in four or five days, but I ended up having to endure a full week.
Meng Sheng didn't even want to recall how he had spent those long seven days.
Let Shang Boyu lead the car to the parking lot and drive it into the traffic. It was already nine o'clock.
It takes about half an hour to get from here to the Yuexia Villa community where they live.
It's already past the morning rush hour. Calculating the time, the police should be here as soon as they get home.
She pursed her lips, and the cold and boring winter in Beijing city retreated one by one through her sad and empty almond eyes.
"Wife."
Shang Boyu's gentle voice suddenly broke the silence in the carriage.
She came back to her senses and slowly turned her head to look at him, "Hmm?"
The car stopped at the traffic light. Shang Boyu looked at the confusion in her eyes, and his jawline, which had been tense all morning, slowly relaxed.
She smiled softly and naturally, "After I drop you off at home, I'm going to go out for a while and probably won't be back until the afternoon or evening, is that okay?"
Meng Sheng heard this and moved his lips. There was a little ripple in his eyes and his tone was a little urgent. "Are you going to Yueqifang? Can I go with you? Mom said the day before yesterday that she would pick me up when I was discharged from the hospital.
I sent her a message last night, but she didn’t reply. Now she hasn’t come to pick me up. Did something happen? I’m a little worried…”
Shang Boyu hurriedly held her slightly trembling hand. His heart was as soft as a puddle of spring mud. Every word she said, as well as her worries and tensions, were like footprints, deeply imprinted on it.
"No, don't worry, it's just a small problem. I'm here, just leave everything to me. What is your current task?
Just take good care of yourself, eat well and sleep well every day. Mom will definitely come to see you in a couple of days. If you are still so thin, she will definitely feel bad. "
Meng Sheng lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand that was tightly wrapped in his palm, and forcibly suppressed the urge to pull it out.
After a moment's silence, he still said with some concern, "If you have the result, you must tell me. You can't hide it from me."
Shang Boyu smiled and nodded, "Of course, I won't hide it from anyone, but I won't hide it from you."
The green light came on, he withdrew his hand, gripped the steering wheel, and the car started again.
More than ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa community where she had lived for three years and finally stopped in the garage.
Meng Sheng walked through the corridor and into the living room. At first glance, she saw the familiar layout and decoration, but she was still dazed.
I always feel that these have begun to become distant and unfamiliar.
It won't be long before she leaves and never comes back in this life.
Shang Boyu stood behind her, holding her waist loosely, "What's wrong?"
His movements were not very obvious through the down jacket, but Meng Sheng still took a step forward and avoided it naturally, his eyes casually glancing at the literary clock hanging on the wall of the living room.
Nine twenty-eight.
The police are coming.
"It's still better...home."
She looked away again without leaving a trace, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she sighed softly, "I suddenly want to drink milk tapioca pearls."
Shang Boyu felt that her usually empty eyes gradually became bright, and he felt happy but also a little regretful.
The hospital was indeed too depressing for her.
If I had known this, I should have come back two days ago, so that she would feel better.
"Let Aunt Zhang do it." He took her to the sofa and said, "Are you tired now? Do you want to go up and lie down for a while?"
Meng Sheng shook his head. "I've been lying in the hospital for so long, I don't want to lie down anymore."
Shang Boyu squatted in front of her and instructed, "Okay. Then go up and rest when you are tired. If you have anything, just call Aunt Zhang. You must eat well at noon. Tell Aunt Zhang what dishes you want to eat and let her make them."
"What if I want to eat the food you cook?" Meng Sheng's eyes showed some anticipation. He grabbed his fingers and asked reluctantly.
Shang Boyu was stunned and chuckled, "What do you want to eat?"
Meng Sheng tightened his grip on his fingers, as if he could stop time and make him leave later.
After a while, she named a few dishes he used to cook for her, "Egg with Tofu, Hot and Sour Fish, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs..."
Shang Boyu felt so distressed that he held her hand and said, "Shengsheng, can I come back to do it for you in the evening?"
"We agreed that you can't lie to me."
"Of course, I promise!"
After Shang Boyu comforted Meng Sheng, he stood up. As he walked to the door, he saw four men walking into the yard.
Although they were not wearing police uniforms, he could confirm their identities at a glance.
His whole body trembled and his heart skipped a beat.
He had originally thought about taking the initiative to go to the police station to find out more about the situation, but he was afraid that the police would come and disturb Meng Sheng.
Unexpectedly, the police actually...
Coming so quickly.
He hurried over and tried to stop the police outside, "Excuse me, guys, what can I do for you?"
"We are from the Nancheng Criminal Investigation Detachment of Beijing City. Is Meng Sheng here?" The police showed his ID.
"She's here, but...she was just discharged from the hospital today and needs to rest. I'm her husband, so you can talk to me if you have anything to say."
"We are looking for Meng Sheng himself. Please don't obstruct our enforcement, Mr. Shang."
As they spoke, several policemen walked around him and went into the house.
Meng Sheng stared at the clock. Just as the hour hand reached half past nine, footsteps were heard at the door.
The hands on my legs unconsciously clenched into fists.
Here it comes.
She took a deep breath, stood up and walked over. When she saw the plainclothes policemen, her pale and weak face showed just the right amount of surprise and confusion.
“You are…”
The leading police officer showed his ID again and said, "We are from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Chengnan District, Beijing City."
As he spoke, he took out another subpoena and said, "Based on the case of Yueqifang being suspected of organized and disciplined prostitution, we formally summon Meng Sheng, one of Yueqifang's shareholders, to the police station for investigation. Please cooperate and come with us."
She opened her eyes wide in horror, her lips trembling in disbelief, "Selling... selling prostitution? You mean Yueqifang? How... how is it possible?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly looked at Shang Boyu who had chased in, rushed over and grabbed him by the clothes.
He spoke incoherently, "Bo Yu, they... they said... maybe there was a misunderstanding, I... Yue Qi Fang... how could it be..."
Shang Boyu's face was filled with sorrow, and it was heartbreaking to see him. He grabbed her shoulders.
He whispered to comfort her, "Shengsheng, don't be afraid, don't panic, I'm here. I'm here."
After that, he put Meng Sheng behind him and said, "Sheng Sheng is no longer a shareholder of Yueqifang. A few days ago, she transferred all her shares to me.
She knows nothing and has never participated in anything. She cannot stand any provocation now, so please don't make things difficult for her. Can I go with you to be investigated?"
"Share transfer? So you know about Yueqifang's prostitution?" the policeman asked with narrowed eyes.
“I just found out about it two days ago.”
Shang Boyu did not intend to hide anything, his expression was natural and his tone was calm.
Now he just wanted to remove Meng Sheng from this matter completely, "But I didn't tell Sheng Sheng about this, she really doesn't know anything about it."
The leading police officer said sternly, "In that case, both of you should come with us. It is not up to you to decide whether she knew about it or not, and whether she participated in it. We, the police, will investigate and provide evidence to speak for ourselves."
