Meng Sheng was speechless and just glared at him resentfully.
But Pei Sui still turned a blind eye and even considerately picked up a piece of pork ribs for her, saying, "Eat it."
Meng Sheng sighed silently and resigned himself to his fate as he continued to drink the lemonade with only one ice cube.
When lunch was almost finished, Meng Sheng drank the last sip of lemonade in the glass.
My thoughts suddenly became scattered.
Pei Sui asked, "Have you finished eating?"
"Um."
She responded unconsciously, and only when she saw him stand up to clear the dishes did she quickly come to her senses and asked hesitantly, "Wait a minute, I want to ask... Ning Weiwei... about this matter of being admitted to the mental hospital... What are you going to do? Tell the police directly? Or..."
Just handle it with care and pretend you know nothing.
Pei Sui looked up at her when he heard that, and paused for two seconds as he was about to clean up the dishes. He then picked up the half-empty glass of lemonade and took a sip.
He said slowly, "The police are now trying every possible way to get Cheng Jie to return to China to arrest her. They are also trying their best to find out about Ning Weiwei's disappearance. I know you handled the aftermath very well. In fact, if I hadn't accidentally seen the name "Yuan Siying" mentioned in the WeChat message Qiao Na sent you that day, no one would have thought that the two of them would have had any intersection.
However, some things are not without traces, and don't underestimate Chen Ye's abilities. He was promoted to captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment at the age of 27, and is an expert at unraveling the mystery. Finding Ning Weiwei's whereabouts won't be too difficult; it's just a matter of time."
He spoke slowly and calmly as he analyzed the current situation and solutions for her.
"Qiming Mental Hospital is a semi-transparent existence. The police are definitely aware of it, but these dark things are not exposed in the open, so they turn a blind eye.
Sending Ning Weiwei to a mental hospital isn't a big deal, but if it gets out, it will affect your reputation and that of the museum, especially since Ning Weiwei is involved in a murder case. The last time she asked Cheng Jie to brake your car, a case has already been filed. It's a criminal case, so we can't just drop it."
Meng Sheng saw that he spoke in an orderly manner. After thinking for a moment, he frowned slightly. His tone was normal, but full of doubt. "So... you want the police to get Ning Weiwei out of the mental hospital?"
Pei Sui shook his head, tapping the wall of the cup with his slender fingers.
The cold voice was calm and steady, "Not now, we have to take it slowly. If we give the clues to the police all at once, Chen Ye will definitely be suspicious. If he finds out that it's you, no matter how familiar he is with us, he will still go through the normal questioning procedures.
Furthermore, there's no evidence yet that Ning Weiwei murdered your mother. Only after the police apprehend Cheng Jie and his confession can we reopen the case and investigate. This matter isn't that simple to handle. It takes time. After all, it's a cross-border matter, so one or two months is considered fast, and three or four months is normal."
He paused for a few seconds, then slowed down his voice. “You should know that when Qiming called it a mental hospital, it was actually no different from a lunatic asylum. It was only later that the word ‘lunatic asylum’ sounded unpleasant and was considered unlucky, so it was changed to a mental hospital.
Those locked up inside were all normal people when they first entered, but in the end they were driven completely insane by the endless pain, despair, and enclosed darkness.
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped the deeper meaning of his words, but also as if he had grasped nothing.
"You mean..."
Pei Sui's voice was deep, his expression unchanged, "Once Cheng Jie is arrested and the police find Ning Weiwei, they will most likely bring her from Qiming as a suspect for investigation.
As for the final outcome, there are only two options. I will prosecute her for intentional homicide, assault, and extremely cruel means, and advocate the death penalty. I will not give her any chance for parole. Given her crimes and her lack of any remorse, I am sure she will die.
The second result is... Ning Weiwei will eventually be sent back to Qiming Mental Hospital by the police."
One is hell, the other is purgatory on earth. No matter which the result is, Ning Weiwei can only be truly liberated by death.
Meng Sheng was a little surprised and shocked. He told her two results, giving her a choice.
It depends on which path she wants to choose for Ning Weiwei.
She suddenly lost her voice, "You..."
Pei Sui stared at her quietly, "Do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it..." Meng Sheng opened his mouth and answered very straightforwardly, but there was some hesitation after he finished speaking.
She asked worriedly, "Will...will this implicate you?"
"No." Pei Sui replied affirmatively.
He wouldn't say that he is a completely good person, but everything he does is legal and compliant, and he is not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals.
Maybe... some of his methods are not fair, but he is still open and honest.
Everything he did was in compliance with the law and the people.
"You...you're not going to lie to me again, are you?" Seeing how straightforward his answer was, Meng Sheng looked at him suspiciously. "Don't tell me you lied again."
Pei Sui raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, "Do you hold a grudge? Do you remember it just because I lied to you that time?"
Meng Sheng hummed softly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Yeah, I have a good memory."
"I'll make amends to you?"
"Forget it, we're even. Anyway, you're not allowed to lie to me anymore."
"Well, I wouldn't dare either."
Meng Sheng glanced at her sideways, and when he returned her gaze, she asked thoughtfully, "I believe you, but how are you going to arrange for Ning Weiwei to be sent to Qiming? I'm afraid it will be difficult to cover up once the police find out."
Pei Sui took another sip of lemonade. Perhaps he had eaten a lemon seed, and his mouth was filled with a sour and bitter taste.
He actually didn't like the taste of lemon, but Meng Sheng really liked drinking lemonade, so he drank it a few times and got used to the taste of lemon.
"It's a small matter. You forget that you have a very good ally."
ally?
Meng Sheng was stunned, and for a moment, her mind went blank.
When had she ever had an ally?
ally……
etc!
She looked up in surprise, her tone full of disbelief, "You...you're not talking about...Guan Rong, are you?"
Pei Sui nodded slightly, a faint but meaningful smile floating in his cold eyes, "She will help with this little thing."
Hearing him speak so confidently, Meng Sheng was still a little confused. "My relationship with her...isn't really solid. We had a relationship of interest at that time, but after divorcing Shang Boyu, we haven't been in touch since."
Pei Sui nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I know. But don't worry. In about half a month or twenty days at most, she will come to me on her own initiative."
"Why?" Meng Sheng was confused.
"The Shang Group has encountered a major setback in its international finance sector. As the successor, Shang Qinian may face substantial international compensation, and there's a 70% chance he'll face imprisonment."
Pei Sui gently stroked his fingertips. "This matter hasn't been exposed yet, and it's within the controllable range of the merchants. After a while, it's hard to say."
Meng Sheng didn't expect that he had taken all of this into account in such a short time.
She pursed her lips and couldn't help asking, "Are you going there to investigate?"
"Um."
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "So... when did you come up with this whole chain of solutions to this matter?"
Pei Sui pursed his lips. "After meeting Yuan Siying, I went over all the details. Later, Nie Han found out that you didn't leave the art museum on Tuesday."
Meng Sheng was completely stunned.
It was just the name Yuan Siying. Even at that time, she didn't fully understand Ning Weiwei's whereabouts, but she started to make arrangements one by one.
Even the turning point of this matter has been arranged.
She was deeply shocked by Pei Sui's scheming, cunning, and planning.
But after the shock, she inexplicably felt a sense of relief, that there was someone who not only supported her from behind, but also made plans for her wholeheartedly.
What he said last night, "Maybe it doesn't have to come to this?" was actually true.
She was indeed radical in this matter, but it was definitely not impulsive.
So he was trying to pull her back on track, to revise and withdraw those crooked and dark paths.
He hoped that her future would still be bright and would not be clouded by hatred and never see the light of day again.
Perhaps it was because she had been trapped in Shang Boyu's swamp for too long, the grievances and despair filled her entire chest and have not been completely healed until now.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that these things were gently smoothed out and properly placed in an instant.
The world was still noisy, but she seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming.
Her heart was beating so hard that her fingertips felt numb.
The throat was also tightly blocked by a sweet and sour feeling, and it seemed that nothing could come out.
Pei Sui is really a good lover.
After a long while, she pursed her lips and slowly squeezed out a word. "Thank you, thank you, I..."
“I actually have selfish motives.”
Her fair, rosy face was reflected in his deep, almond-shaped eyes, which were full of emotions.
He gently opened his thin lips and said, "I want to have you, so I can't just watch you drift further and further away from me. Meng Sheng, I will always love you."
Meng Sheng's nose felt sore again, and his eyes gradually became hot.
Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, turning into a burning pain in her heart. All the scenery in the world was not as strong, hot, gentle and tolerant as the love that burst out from the man in front of her at this moment.
She almost couldn't hold back her tears again, so she quickly looked away and said angrily, "Your love talk index is off the charts now, you keep saying one..."
It's really a bit overwhelming.
Pei Sui's eyes remained unchanged as he continued to look at her. "Then will it still be precious?"
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his lips and nodded firmly, "Yes, precious, they will always be precious."
Pei Sui smiled, as if relieved, and didn't continue to worry about it.
He stood up and continued to collect the dishes, "Leave this matter to me, don't worry too much. If you don't eat or sleep well, your complexion will easily deteriorate and you won't be energetic.
You just need to focus on the cooperation with the Tokyo Art Museum now. I will inform you of any progress and situation on this matter in a timely and truthful manner. "
Meng Sheng pursed her lips. Of course she believed in Pei Sui's methods and abilities.
Never questioned it.
With someone helping her share the burden, she felt a lot more relieved, but she still had a little worry.
So, I couldn't help but say one more thing, "If it will harm your interests, you can't hide it from me, and you can't do this. Let's find another way."
"Okay, I promise."
Pei Sui made a solemn promise before picking up a piece of crispy pork ribs for her. "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold, especially that omelet rice."
Meng Sheng nodded. Since she had decided to face it and bear the responsibility together with him, she naturally would not ask any more questions and trusted him completely.
