Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“Alright, I’ll pray to myself that everything will be fine.” Sheng Bowen tried to comfort himself by telling himself that everything would go smoothly. However, before he hung up the phone, Sheng Bowen couldn’t help but comment, “Eighth Brother, you’re actually quite heartless.”

“I’ve always been like that.” After he said that, Sheng Xiao hung up the phone.

“Mm, that’s the truth.” Sheng Bowen put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

Not long after, Sheng Bowen went out and got someone to drive the car out. He also got a spare phone to avoid arousing suspicion.

It was rare for Old Master Sheng to be in good spirits. He was drinking tea in the garden. Seeing that Sheng Bowen had been behaving strangely recently, he called him to his side and looked him up and down. “Have you been getting close to that Lawyer Shen recently?”

“He’s a good person,” Sheng Bowen said with a smile.

“Third Brother, you never liked eating, drinking, and being a good-for-nothing like this in the past. After you got out of the detention center, your behavior has become strange,” Old Master Sheng said to him earnestly as he drank his tea. “I don’t have the strength to do anything now. Young people like you don’t like to tell me what’s on your mind. I’m always the last one to know about anything that happens. “However, Third Brother, even if I can’t do anything anymore, I still hope that you can tell me if you’re in trouble. Even if I can’t help you, I’ve seen more people than you, haven’t I?”

“Grandpa, it’s really nothing. In two days, Lawyer Shen and I will go out for a walk. I promise you that I’ll be in good shape when I come back.” Sheng Bowen acted as normal as he could.

The old man did not force him. The walk did not sound bad. “Are you going to take Yufei with you?”

“She’s not feeling well these few days. I’ll let her stay at home to rest.” Sheng Bowen casually gave a reason.

“Okay, I’ll get the housekeeper to take good care of Yufei for you. Don’t worry.”

Sheng Bowen looked at the old man and did not look away for a long time. After a while, he said, “Grandpa, you look better. It seems that with Eighth Brother around, you can enjoy your old age peacefully.”

The old man snorted and rolled his eyes at him. “Stop trying to be a good boy in front of me. Go out for a few days and come backas you were. I feel really awkward looking at you like this.”

“Got it.” Sheng Bowen agreed obediently.

However, in the next two days, Sheng Bowen compiled information of all his assets and put them in a yellow leather bag. He was afraid that if he gave it to Ren Yufei, it would burden her psychologically, so Sheng Bowen sent the information to the Banyan Courtyard, to Mu Qiqi.

Mu Qiqi received the bag, puzzled. She thought it was something sent by the school, but when she went back to the study to open it, she found that it was full of Sheng Bowen’s asset certificates.

There was also a letter. “Xiao Qiqi, if something happens to me after I leave tomorrow, please give all the information to Yufei in the future. I’m not a good husband and I can’t bring her much happiness. These are the only things I can do for her.”

Mu Qiqi frowned and sat on a chair in the study room in a daze.

What was he going to do tomorrow? Mu Qiqi was about to call Sheng Bowen when Sheng Xiao pushed the door open and entered.

Mu Qiqi thought that he might know something, so she showed the letter to him.

Sheng Xiao frowned deeply after reading it. As he did not intend to drag her into the case, he did not tell Mu Qiqi about Sheng Bowen going out with Shen Yu. However, now that Sheng Bowen had sent her a letter, the little thing would definitely want to know.

“What does he mean?”

Sheng Xiao was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he sat down on the sofa and beckoned Mu Qiqi over to him.

Mu Qiqi sat on his lap with the letter in her hand and looked at him solemnly. “Old Man, there are more and more things that you’ve been hiding from me recently.”

“Don’t call me Old Man.”

“Alright, Master Xiao, can you tell me what this means now?” Mu Qiqi waved the thing in her hand. “Everything that belongs to Third Brother is here. I didn’t realize that he was so rich. A few hundred million, what is this? To handle his funeral?”

Sheng Xiao took the letter and read it a few times, then, he put it aside. “Three days ago, he invited Shen Yu to go mountain hiking in order to draw out Shen Yu’s next move. He knew very well that it was impossible for Shen Yu to have bailed him out without a next step. So, he took the initiative to attack and wanted to find out the truth behind it.”

“I know he’s taking the initiative to get close to Shen Yu, but you’re letting him go alone?” Mu Qiqi could not believe it.

“He’s not as fragile as you think,” Sheng Xiao said calmly.

“He sent all these to me. It’s really not convincing.” Mu Qiqi felt a little helpless. “He’s trying to act like an innocent party again, isn’t he? But this time, the person behind this is the mastermind behind Bai Xinyi’s case. He’s going to get himself killed.”

“I’ve prepared and backed up his car, his phone, and even the surroundings of Mount Yueying. As long as Shen Yu makes a move, he won’t be able to gain anything.”

“How confident are you?” Mu Qiqi put her hand around Sheng Xiao’s neck and asked.

“When Third Brother was in the detention center, he had witnessed someone die in front of him.” Sheng Xiao explained why he agreed to Sheng Bowen’s risk. That was the shadow in Sheng Bowen’s heart.

Mu Qiqi immediately went silent. If she were in his shoes, she might have gotten as affected by the event.

Anyone who had experienced suddenly getting framed and bullied would question whether the path they had taken and the things they believed in were all wrong.

“What do you plan to do that day?”

Sheng Xiao took the opportunity to take off his coat and unbutton his shirt. “I’ve already found a place at the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, I’ll be there.”

“I’ll go with you.”

Sheng Xiao knew that once Mu Qiqi found out about this, she would definitely not stand by and do nothing. Hence, he only said in a low voice, “You don’t have any classes tomorrow afternoon. I’ll pick you up then. Can you go and take a shower now?”

Mu Qiqi was satisfied. She put all the things on the table back into the yellow leather bag, and locked it in Sheng Xiao’s drawer. “This is Third Brother’s savings. I’ll take care of it for him.”

Sheng Bowen was not as weak as he thought. And so was the little thing.

He had to let her know or her imagination would run wild again. He might as well keep the little thing under his nose and be at ease.

..

The next morning, Ren Yufei woke up early to help Sheng Bowen pack his luggage. Her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had been crying.

Sheng Bowen felt sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do. “I promise you that I’ll come back in one piece. Trust me.”

“It’s cold on the mountain. I’ve prepared two coats for you. If you’re cold, take them out and put them on.”

Sheng Bowen took the opportunity to hold her hand, wrapping it in his palm. He coaxed her warmly, “Wait for me at home obediently.”
