Chapter 557: I Can’t Tell You This

Late that night, Third Brother and Hu Ran came home.

“You can go back to our room first. I have something I want to talk to Grandpa about.”

Hu Ran nodded and let go of Sheng Bowen’s hand.

He smiled and walked to Grandpa Sheng’s study. He saw the room was lit, but Grandpa Sheng did not respond to him.

So, Sheng Bowen went to his bedroom. Seeing no one in the bedroom, he suddenly felt that something was not right. Quickly, he rushed into the study and saw Grandpa Sheng lying on the floor. He immediately called out for help. “Butler, call an ambulance!”

The Shengs were alerted again and they rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night.

“Third Brother, when did Grandpa pass out?” Sixth Brother asked. “Is he in danger?”

“I don’t know. I’ve only just returned home,” Third Brother answered while looking at Sheng Kai disapprovingly.

Because he heard from the butler that the only person Grandpa saw after dinner was Sheng Kai.

“I hope Grandpa will be alright.”

“Second Brother, what did you and Grandpa talk about tonight?”

Knowing that Sheng Bowen was questioning him, Sheng Kai looked at him coldly. “Why? Are you suspecting that Grandpa fell sick again because of me?”

“The doctor said already that Grandpa cannot take any more pressure.”

“You are the CEO of Huang Yao now, so you think you can be arrogant, huh?” Sheng Kai asked in return. “I am indeed the last person Grandpa saw. But how would I know when and how he would pass out?”

“Can you two stop complaining about each other already?” Hu Ran could not stand it anymore.

“It’s him who started it. Besides, didn’t you hate Grandpa before? Now that he is the one who helped you to gain power, are you changing your attitude toward him?”

“If you want to continue your fight, please leave the hospital. The patient is in a severe coma now. We can’t be sure when he will wake up.”

The doctor from the emergency department told them when he came out. “What’s the point of knowing who is responsible for this? He’s already become like this!”

The brothers stopped talking and the rest of the Sheng lowered their heads.

“The patient was not sent to the hospital in time. So you should be prepared. We don’t know if he can wake up.”

“Thank you, doctor. We were wrong.” Sheng Bowen quickly corrected his attitude. “I hope you can help us save our grandfather.”

“That’s more like it.” The doctor rolled his eyes and walked away. Then, Sheng Bowen took out his phone. He planned to inform Sheng Xiao about this although he wasn’t sure if Sheng Xiao and Grandpa Sheng had reconciled.

“What are you doing?”

“Informing Fourth Sister and Eighth Brother.”

As soon as he heard him, Sheng Kai snatched Sheng Bowen’s phone and smashed it. “You know Eighth Brother is the thorn in Grandpa’s heart. Are you wishing for his death?”

“Grandpa will want to see Eighth Brother.”

“Now that Eldest Brother’s not here, I’m the oldest here! I won’t allow you to do that!”

Just like that, they got into a fight again. After the doctors chased them out of the building, they fought in the garden instead.

“You are afraid to let Eighth Brother come back because you will lose your last hope, aren’t you?”

Having said that, Sheng Bowen turned around and walked away.

But during the fight, Hu Ran secretly texted Mu Qiqi.

When Mu Qiqi received the message, she did not want to hide it from Sheng Xiao and so she showed him the message. “Grandpa passed out again. And this time, he might not wake up again. Will you go to see him?”

Sheng Xiao took the phone and put down his documents. Although he did not reply to her, he contacted Xu Che to get the best specialists overnight.

“If anything happens to Grandpa, the Sheng family may really fall apart.”

Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He simply patted Mu Qiqi’s shoulder. “Just sleep.”

...

At night, in the police station, the police were interrogating that paparazzo.

“Are you still refusing to confess that you killed Shen Qing?”

“No, Sir. I have told you many times. I really did not kill Shen Qing. I just wanted to blackmail her and get some money. She didn’t agree and so I did not force her and left the villa right after.”

“So, you did not touch Shen Qing at all?” They continued.

“No. I said I did not!”

“Then why is there your fingerprint on Shen Qing’s body?” The police showed the evidence to that paparazzo. “Do you know that all the evidence is pointing to you? Mr. Cui, don’t waste your time here anymore. Let me tell you honestly, the longer you do that, the worse your situation will become. Think about it yourself.”

When the paparazzo saw it, he was dumbfounded. The emotions in his eyes changed drastically.

However, it was not enough to make him break down completely.

So, the police continued to set him off.

“We found out about the many dirty deeds you have done in the past. You can refuse to admit that you killed someone. But tell me about the car accident of the Hu family two years ago. Your best friend, Mrs. Hu, came to the police station today. We got suspicious so we did a small investigation to know why. Apparently, she was scared that you might spill her secret.”

“That case has got nothing to do with me.” The paparazzo quickly waved his hands.

“Since the police have found clues, the case will be solved sooner or later. If you are willing to cooperate, this will be a good chance for you to redeem yourself and make a meritorious contribution.”

“If I tell you, will I be able to reduce my sentence?”

“What do you think?” The police asked.

“I was just a bystander for that case. That friend of mine could not get a son after marrying into the Hu family since her stepdaughter was strongly against it. So, she hired someone in that industry to do the job for her. Unfortunately, her stepdaughter was very lucky and survived.”

“Who was the one who did the job?”

“I can’t tell you this. I’m afraid of death! All I can say is that he is very famous!”

“Alright. Now let’s explain how your fingerprint got onto Shen Qing’s body.” The police brought the paparazzo around the bush and came back to the starting point.

The paparazzo thought that he could divert their focus from that after he changed the topic. But the police were too familiar with that petty trick.

In the end, he could only confess. “Yes, I pushed her. But I did not kill her, Sir. Besides, I didn’t do it on purpose. Shen Qing was still moving at that time, so I thought it was just a fall and did not call the police.”

“Didn’t you say that you had never touched Shen Qing? Why are you saying that you pushed her now? Which is true and which is false? Besides, even if she could still move and was just injured, you should have called for an ambulance. She might still be alive now. Haven’t you thought about this before? What you did is murder!”
