The second master of the Sheng Family, Sheng Siming, made up his mind to just muddle through his days at the company and never take the wrong path.
His ambition dissipated completely when his elder brother was arrested.
Could one afford to dabble in cri at will?
The second master didn’t know that his brother was easily caught because Song Chen had collected a complete chain of evidence, although this was not easy.
In the second master’s view, the police were simply godlike, omnipotent.
"Today’s criminal investigation techniques are truly formidable. We’re not professional criminals, let’s not court death."
He no longer opposed Sheng Sidong.
Afraid the old man would suspect him of being as restless as his brother, Sheng Siming beca increasingly cautious and obedient, even avoiding his mistress for several days.
For this reason, he specially moved out from the old mansion.
He chose a luxurious residence to rent, costing more than fifty thousand yuan per month. Anyway, he had enough money, and if not, he could ask his father for more, temporarily distancing himself from the main branch.
The madam pulled him, crying: "Please beg the old man, help your brother."
"Sister-in-law, I am powerless too." The second master’s selfishness was so apparent and abrupt at this mont.
The madam also went to see Sheng Sidong.
Sheng Sidong told her: "Learn so law. This is a criminal case. It’s not like if I don’t report him, he can be unscathed."
The madam grew frantic and upon consulting a lawyer, realized Sheng Sidong was right.
She no longer pleaded with Sheng Sidong, but silently resented their entire family.
Several months later, after completing the public prosecution process, the verdict on Sheng Siyu’s case ca down.
Tao Baiyu was sentenced to thirty years for multiple cris; Ma Guoqiang also faced multiple charges, sentenced to twelve years; Sheng Siyu, the main conspirator in the kidnapping that failed, with no obvious physical harm to the Sheng Family mbers, received a two-year sentence.
With that, the matter ca to an end.
The old mansion of the Sheng Family was originally a treasure trove of feng shui, but after the old man moved out and the second branch evacuated, only the madam remained with her two children and several servants.
The old house suddenly felt like a haunted house, gloominess filling each day.
This was a story for later.
While Sheng Siyu awaited his sentencing and public prosecution, Sheng Qiao saw Sheng Tang at school and wanted to fight with her.
Sheng Tang ignored her.
She knew the elder master’s imprisonnt was inevitable and that he had been fired from grandfather’s company.
In April’s world, peach blossoms filled the branches.
The weather alternated hot and cold.
In Sheng Tang’s class, a flu started to spread.
With the flu prevalent, Sun Xiaojun, who had been studying while sick, hurriedly took leave and went ho.
Jiang Baocu caught it.
Sheng Tang thought she was physically strong but got infected too, seated close to Jiang Baocu.
She usually didn’t get sick, but this ti it hit her much harder than Jiang Baocu.
First she sneezed, then coughed, coughing to the verge of death daily with cough dicine to no avail.
After two days of coughing, she developed a fever.
She still had a low fever before going ho in the evening, but at night her grandmother, worried about her, checked on her, touching her head to find her burning hot.
Calling out to her, she found Sheng Tang unresponsive.
Her parents and grandmother were scared to death, hurriedly taking her to the ergency room in the middle of the night.
In a daze, Sheng Tang knew her family was moving her but simply couldn’t open her eyes or muster any strength.
Later, soone beside her spoke.
"The ergency room in the public hospital is crowded with flu patients, to avoid catching other viruses, it’s better to move her to my hospital."
It seed to be Gu Shiting’s voice.
Then, a hand gripped hers tightly, and cool lips landed on her cheek...
