"What?" Ning Lang's steamed dumpling, which she was holding between her chopsticks, fell to the ground with a "plop".
Sheng Xuan picked up the steamed dumpling, turned around and threw it precisely into the trash can in the corner.
“Grandpa suspected that Shengju had framed my mother for the car accident. Back then, there were no surveillance cameras on the road. My mother secretly told him that a big truck was going to hit her car. At first, the driver managed to avoid it, but then several small trucks came out and killed the driver. My mother was also seriously injured.”
Ning Lang narrowed her cold and beautiful eyes and said in a low voice, "At that time, your mother was about to give birth. Your eldest son's family was more numerous, which was more of an obstacle for him, so he wanted to kill her."
She had suspected it before, but it was too long ago and there was no evidence, so she had to let it go.
“Unfortunately, Grandpa searched for many years but couldn’t find any concrete evidence.” Sheng Xuan explained, “Grandpa said that he hired desperados in a very secretive way. Even if he managed to find two people, he couldn’t directly accuse Sheng Ju. Fearing that he might alert the enemy, he had to give up.”
Ning Lang thought for a moment and calmly analyzed: "It's been almost thirty years, so it's even more difficult for us to find evidence now. Your mother has been gone for many years, and your grandfather has also passed away. Without the parties involved and witnesses, we can't win this case."
Sheng Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "But Sheng Ju has been plotting against our main branch for so many years, this debt must be settled!"
"The net of heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it." Ning Lang lowered his voice: "In the past, evidence was too hard to find, and it was impossible to convict him. Now it's different. With advanced communication and dense surveillance, as long as you are determined, you will eventually catch him."
"Wait?" Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Ning Lang nodded slowly and explained, "A person who is used to using underhanded methods, no matter how innocent he seems on the surface, will eventually reveal his true colors. He's currently riding high, so there's no need for him to use such tricks. But when he starts to decline, things might change."
"Hmm." Sheng Xuan understood and said, "I want to find someone to prepare."
Ning Lang glanced at him and reminded him, "You used to live under his nose, and he knows all the scoundrels you know. Doing this will only alert him."
“I know,” Sheng Xuan explained, “I’ll ask my friends whom I made later to wait for them to come to me.”
She didn't say anything more, and paused in her chopsticks-picking motion.
Seeing her movements, Sheng Xuan knew that she didn't have a good appetite, so he coaxed her gently, "Eat a little more, and add another half bowl of porridge."
Ning Lang ate a couple more bites, then lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks.
Sheng Xuan pressed down on her shoulder as she was about to leave, picked up his own bowl of porridge, and clumsily scooped out a spoonful, gently handing it to her.
She was slightly embarrassed, but ate it in one bite.
He quickly scooped up another spoonful, but Ning Lang still ate it.
After the third bite, she didn't want to eat anymore. He whispered, "Just two more bites, try to hold on a little longer."
The plump auntie, who was tidying up the kitchen, chuckled softly.
Ning Lang was somewhat embarrassed and mumbled, "No, thank you."
"Just two more bites, I guarantee two more bites," Sheng Xuan coaxed in a low voice.
Ning Lang lowered her eyes and slowly ate two more bites.
He smiled, his handsome face as radiant as the sun, and put down the spoon and bowl.
She frowned slightly and asked, "Is that your spoon?"
“Yes!” Sheng Xuan retorted confidently, “So what?”
Ning Lang: "..."
Sheng Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked again, "I always eat whatever you leave behind. It's just sharing a spoon with me, is it really that big of a deal?"
Ning Lang strode away.
Okay, you win.
