Chapter 772: Think Carefully Before You Speak

The stock price of Huang Yao fell, and the morale of the board of directors became unstable.

After such a big incident, no one knew if Sheng Bowen could continue to lead Huang Yao safely.

Therefore, after the incident, the board of directors called Old Master Sheng to ask if the Sheng family could introduce a new successor and make plans in advance.

“The matter has not been decided yet. Why are you all so impatient? Bowen has been leading Huang Yao for so long, but he has never disappointed you, has he?

“I believe that my grandson will definitely be able to handle the matter well, so you don’t have to be in such a hurry. After all, Eighth Brother is still here.”

When they heard Sheng Xiao’s name, they did not say anything else.

Based on the current development of Zhongteng, even if there were ten Huang Yaos, Sheng Xiao would still be able to suppress them.

Ren Yufei saw that the old man kept receiving calls, and she felt very helpless. “Grandpa, I’m really useless. There’s nothing I can do to help.”

“How can you be blamed for this?” The old man waved his hand at her. “Yufei, don’t be impatient. Ever since Third Brother married you, he’s become much more stable. I believe that he can handle it.”

“I hope so, Grandpa. It’s getting late. You should go and rest. I’ll wait for him.”

“I can’t sleep if he doesn’t come back. Let’s go together.”

The stock price had dropped? His reputation had been damaged? The old man did not feel sorry for the company or himself at all. He cared more about his grandson now.

Taking advantage of this moment, the old man gave Sheng Xiao a call. “Eighth Brother, you know about Third Brother, right?”

“Yes,” Sheng Xiao replied calmly.

“I don’t ask for anything else. I just hope that you can protect your third brother’s safety. You know how he is as well. He has a kind heart. It’s both a strength and a weakness.”

It was rare that the old man would actually call him for help over Third Brother’s matter.

Sheng Xiao curled his lips indifferently and then replied, “You don’t have to worry. Isn’t it enough that there’s a nosy person at home?”

Old Master Sheng understood Sheng Xiao’s hint and knew that Mu Qiqi would intervene. He was relieved.

“That’s good.”

She was just a little girl in her early twenties. Old Master Sheng did not understand why he trusted her so much.

The truth was that this girl was just that good.

Late at night, Sheng Bowen was still at the police station making a statement. Mu Qiqi and Xu Che rushed over by the time they arrived, the traffic police were still questioning Sheng Bowen.

“Your situation is a little complicated right now. Whether it constitutes an escape or not, we still need to wait for the statement of responsibility. You’d better think of a way to prove that you really didn’t know or didn’t find out about the accident at that time. Otherwise, you might face detention, just to prepare you mentally. Now that there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

But Mu Qiqi wanted to see the surveillance footage.

From the looks of it, he could only search for nearby shops to see if there were any machines that had captured this scene.

“Why are you here?” Sheng Bowen turned around and saw Mu Qiqi waiting at the door. His mood suddenly became relaxed.

“I’m just worried about you.” He was... blackmailed. Of course, Mu Qiqi didn’t say the last three words. “I have a general understanding of the situation. Now it’s up to the traffic police to decide if you’re a hit-and-run driver.”

“I really don’t know. I still need Yufei to make the statement tomorrow.” Sheng Bowen shrugged.

“Now that someone has already made a big fuss about your escape, how can you still laugh?” Mu Qiqi walked in front and glared at him. “Now we have two things to do. First, we have to find a way to get the surveillance footage from the shops around the accident scene. Second, we have to immediately investigate the background of that family.”

“You’re becoming more and more like a police officer now.”

“You continue to be silly and sweet, thinking that everything in the world is perfect. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Sheng Kai or not, let him gloat first.”

Sheng Bowen had the same plan.

However, just as they walked out of the police station, the hospital called. The little girl’s life was in danger!

When he left just now, the doctor had clearly said that the child was out of danger. How did things change so suddenly and drastically?

“If I were that couple, if I wanted you to compensate more, I might have to make you pay a greater price. I might also take the risk. After all, it’s not their biological daughter who’s suffering from a terminal illness.”

After hearing Mu Qiqi’s words, Sheng Bowen’s expression turned dark and terrifying.

The conspiracy between adults should not involve children, especially such a poor child.

“When we get to the hospital, don’t say anything. Let me speak on your behalf.”

“Okay.” Sheng Bowen calmed himself down and nodded.

“However, no matter what I say later, just watch. They are holding onto and counting on their so-called weak side. They will definitely cry and make a scene. Clearly they don’t really care about the child.”

..

The impact of the incident on Huang Yao was tremendous. Sheng Kai was naturally filled with excitement when he saw the full-page news report.

So his godfather didn’t lie to him. He had really given him a big gift.

Old Master Sheng had always cherished Huang Yao’s reputation. Now that Sheng Bowen had caused such a big scandal, it would probably make him feel worse than if his life was taken away.

Just then, Jin Bo called Sheng Kai. “Ah Kai, do you like the gift?”

“Of course I like what you gave me.”

“Good. This is just the beginning.” Jin Bo smiled. “What do you think about sending him to prison?”

“Are you confident about doing that?”

Jin Bo laughed twice. After a long while, he slowly replied to Sheng Kai, “A hit-and-run drive... Such a person naturally needs to be punished.”

“If that’s really the case, I’ll definitely follow your lead in the future.”

“As long as you’re happy.” After saying that, Jin Bo ended the call.

If Sheng Bowen could really be imprisoned because of this, it would be a heavy blow to both the Sheng family and Huang Yao.

Of course, he would be thrilled to see it happen.

However, he did not know how Jin Bo had set up the trap.

..

When Mu Qiqi and the others arrived at the hospital, it was already 11 o’clock at night.

The little girl was sent to the ICU after another round of resuscitation.

Her guardians appeared to be waiting for Sheng Bowen on purpose. Even though they looked extremely wretched, they still wanted to vent their frustrations on him.

“It’s all because of you. My daughter was almost... almost separated from me. You murderer.”

Mu Qiqi glanced at the agitated ‘mother’ and directly stepped in between Sheng Bowen and her. She grabbed her waving hand and said, “You really have such deep feelings for your niece.”

The woman was stunned when she heard Mu Qiqi’s words. She immediately regained her original ferocity and said, “So what? Our child grew up without a father or mother. She grew up with us. This is our child.”

“Lady, you have to think carefully before you speak.” Mu Qiqi flung her wrist away and took out her phone. She turned on the recording function and said, “You must know that I’ve recorded everything you’re said.”

“I’ve never seen someone so arrogant.”

“The reason I’m doing this is to remind you of what you said today. Otherwise, if you can’t keep your lies, I’ll be embarrassed for you.”

Mu Qiqi spoke very calmly.
