Liang Qingru was silent. Just then, the school bell rang. Liang Qingru’s eyelashes trembled when she heard the bell.
Yi Chen turned and glanced at the students who were rushing towards the classroom. “Mom, I’ve got to get to class.”
It had been a few minutes since he had hung up.
Liang Qingru stayed on the stairs the whole time, stiff.
…
The Shen Residence.
“They just led Red Scorpion straight into the Sang family’s house and beat Sang Xue up?” Mr. Shen looked up at Shen Xie, who was eating a meal while seated across from him.
Shen Xie ate his porridge slowly and answered, “A servant from the Sang family said that they went into Sang Xue’s room and grabbed her from her bed. Gu Mang beat the girl up personally. She was beaten unconscious.”
Mr. Shen was rather surprised. “Gu Mang is so young, I didn’t expect her to be so merciless.”
“Mercy?” Shen Xie looked at Mr. Shen and sniggered. “The entire Sang Group is finished.”
Mr. Shen gasped. “I just met Sang Qi at a business reception a few days ago. He wanted to collaborate with Xingmu.”
Shen Xie lowered his head slightly and stirred his porridge with a spoon. “I received the news last night. It spread like a firestorm.”
Mr. Shen looked rather stunned. “So much evidence was found in one night?”
He had never heard about anyone having their eyes on the Sang family before. It could be that someone of higher authority had conducted a private investigation on them. Or it could be that they found the evidence and instantly razed them to the ground.
What a move…
Shen Xie licked his lips. “Treat this incident as a lesson for Qianzi. Tell her to stay out of Gu Mang’s way.”
Mrs. Shen frowned and chided him. “How could you speak about your sister like that?”
“What did I say about her?” Shen Xie retorted. “The last time, she accused Gu Mang of cheating. In the end, Elder Song had to go over and explain that Gu Mang is gm, a forensic doctor in the Criminal Division.”
Mr and Mrs. Shen knew about this. They thought that everything should be fine after the misunderstanding had been cleared up and that it was no big deal. It was not like Gu Mang did not have a mouth to explain herself with.
Seeing that his parents did not take this seriously, Shen Xie looked away. “I’m only saying this once. The two of you can decide what to do.”
Mr. Shen answered, “Don’t worry, I get what you mean. But the Shen family is not one that the Lu family can mess with. Qianzi is not like that girl from the Sang family.”
Mrs. Shen nodded. “Master Bi has spoken to Elder Leng about Qianzi. He also showed Elder Leng the results of her first examination. She is interested in teaching Qianzi medical skills in person.”
Shen Xie was slightly shocked. “Leng Xuan?”
Mr. Shen’s face was full of joy as he continued. “Yes, you should see her medical skills. She has reached the top of the medical world even though she isn’t even twenty five yet. Qianzi will follow and learn from her. In the future, she will surely be able to take the whole Shen family with her to live on Jijing Island.”
…
At the same time.
Lu Zhan only learned what happened to the Sang family the next morning. He gave Lu Chengzhou a call and said in a straightforward manner, “This doesn’t sound like something you’d do.”
Lu Chengzhou was always very extreme when handling enemies. He liked to raze their lives to the ground, regardless of the means. But this time, everything was done lawfully. Lu Zhan was rather surprised to see that the other party was even sent to the police station.
If it wasn’t Lu Chengzhou, then it could only have been Gu Mang.
On the other end, Lu Chengzhou sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows with his phone in hand. When he heard Lu Zhan’s words, he said nothing in response.
“You don’t have to hide it like that. I never said that Gu Mang didn’t do well,” said Lu Zhan.
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows. “It doesn’t really matter to me if you say it or not. I’m still going to marry her.”
Lu Zhan was speechless.
Lu Chengzhou slid one hand into his pocket and asked, “Second Uncle must have told Grandma about this issue. How did the rest of the family react?”
