“Grandpa, they’re gone!” Sheng Jing hurriedly reported to Sheng Mingtang.
Sheng Mingtang’s expression darkened instantly, then he realized, his anger flaring, “Yesterday’s incident, it was them!”
“It’s highly unlikely…” Sheng Jing doubted Nan Yan and the others had the capability, “If they did, why would they stay in the town so long?”
“Grandpa, I think they took advantage of yesterday’s chaos to escape. As for who attacked us yesterday, we still need to investigate,” Sheng Mingtang considered, gradually calming down.
He had thoroughly investigated Hua Shifang and Sun Chan. Apart from a renowned medical practice and a botanical garden, there was nothing to be wary of. As for Nan Yan and the other young people, they were simply ignored by Sheng Mingtang. In his eyes, they were just disciples of Hua Shifang and Sun Chan, neither of whom he held in high regard, so the disciples naturally didn’t matter much either.
Upon reflection, perhaps yesterday was indeed a coincidence. Hua Shifang had no intention of staying, and they happened to escape during the commotion. The more Sheng Mingtang thought, the angrier he became, hurling an antique teapot from the Ming Dynasty to the ground.
“Hmph, they think they can truly escape by leaving the town. Since we’ve treated them so well and they refuse to be our honored guests, then let them stay in the Sheng family as slaves.”
Sheng Jing quickly approached him, soothingly advising, “Grandpa, calm down. Don’t jeopardize your health with anger. The most important thing now is to identify those who attacked us yesterday. As for Hua Shifang and his group, let me handle it. I’ll bring them back.”
Suppressing his rage, Sheng Mingtang took a deep breath and replied, “Very well… then you go to the capital. Let’s see how they plan to escape this time.”
Sheng Jing agreed and, with a hint of darkness in his eyes that quickly faded, politely exited Sheng Mingtang’s room.
Not long after his departure, Sheng Yuanhang arrived.
Upon learning from Sheng Mingtang that Sheng Jing was heading to the capital, Sheng Yuanhang couldn’t sit still. How could his grandfather assign such an important task to Sheng Jing? Did he value Sheng Jing more?
No, that couldn’t be!
Absolutely not!
Since his grandfather was so determined to acquire that doctor Hua Shifang, he would go to the capital himself, beat Sheng Jing there, and bring those people back to his grandfather before Sheng Jing could.
With a hastily fabricated excuse, Sheng Yuanhang left Sheng Mingtang’s room and promptly arranged for a plane to the capital.
