Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“You don’t have to worry about Grandpa. Actually, I have something to ask you. I’ve just received the news this afternoon. So, I want to verify it with you.”

Sheng Kai’s heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his composure. “I’m tired. We’ll talk about the matter in the office tomorrow morning.”

“It’s not about business.” Sheng Bowen stopped him. “Second Brother, are you feeling guilty?”

Sheng Kai turned around and refuted. “Third Brother, I know you are the proud CEO of Huang Yao. But we’re at home now, so shouldn’t you at least give me the respect I deserve? Do I even need your permission when I want to rest?”

“Do you know the butler committed suicide?” Sheng Bowen went straight to the topic without beating around the bush.

“What? When?”

“You’re so good at pretending.” Sheng Bowen laughed coldly. “Second Brother, how long do you want to act in front of everyone? Do you really think that people will not know what you have done?”

“I don’t understand. What does it have to do with me?”

“Do you dare to say that you don’t know Lawyer Song?” Sheng Bowen asked Sheng Kai directly.

“What are you trying to say?” Sheng Kai asked angrily.

“That’s right. Third Brother, what are you accusing Second Brother of?” Sixth Brother got anxious. “What does the butler’s suicide have to do with Second Brother?”

“The butler’s son was arrested for the crime of hurting people and is now being held in the detention center. Second Brother said that he wanted to help the butler, but it was actually a ploy to control him. The butler did not accept his help, so Second Brother used his power to get the people in the detention center to beat his son up and stop all the other lawyers from taking his case. The butler did not want to betray Grandpa, so he chose to kill himself.” Sheng Bowen explained everything to everyone.

“Go on with your story,” Sheng Kai said calmly to Sheng Bowen. “The butler has taken care of me for so many years. Why would I do that?”

“Grandpa announced that he has made his will in the hospital that day. You are afraid that you will not get any portion of the legacy, so you fought to get the butler, perhaps hoping that he’ll divulge something,” Sheng Bowen said loudly. “Don’t you realize that your actions of late had been very peculiar? Of course, I wouldn’t hope that it’s you who did this.”

“Then, why are you slandering me?” Sheng Kai insisted on his innocence and did not admit to it.

“Second Brother, if you still have a little conscience left, you should kneel in front of the housekeeper and confess. Till now, we can’t be sure if he’ll survive or not. Just because of your selfishness, you don’t want to admit anything. It doesn’t matter. Lawyer Song has confessed everything and recorded it on this phone. Besides, you have left behind so many traces in the butler’s hometown. Don’t think you can hide this from us.”

After Sheng Kai heard it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still denied it. “You sound as if you were at the scene when it happened.”

“Second Brother, did you really do this to the butler for the sake of the inheritance?” Sixth Brother looked at Sheng Kai in disbelief.

“Since you all believe it, then I can’t help it.” Sheng Kai looked helpless. He was obviously unconvinced with the ‘show’ that was going on.

However, he did not know what kind of evidence Sheng Bowen had in his hands.

“Ziling, let’s go back to our room.”

“Wait.” Sheng Bowen stopped them. “I’m afraid you cannot escape so easily today.”

“What do you want?” Sheng Kai asked.

“The butler has served the Sheng family his whole life and he is always loyal to Grandpa. But you, because of your selfishness, you cornered him to this extent. I can’t guarantee that you will not make other plans in order to get the inheritance, or that you won’t kill even Grandpa. How can we let you stay in the Sheng family?” Sheng Bowen said sharply.

“So?”

“So, I think it’s better for you and Second Sister-in-law to leave the Sheng family. I will cash in your shares in Huang Yao,” Sheng Bowen said seriously.

His words shocked the whole family. Was he driving his brother away from the family?

“Sheng Bowen, are you thinking too highly of yourself?” Sheng Kai started laughing. “Do you really think that you will become the chairperson of Huang Yao since you are the CEO now? You said that I did it for the sake of Grandpa’s legacy. Who can prove that? Stop spouting nonsense already.”

“What if I insist you leave the Sheng family today?” asked Sheng Bowen.

“Third Brother, you’re too soft to be a leader. Don’t you know that? Do you know how many people in the company are dissatisfied with you? If it’s not because of me helping you secretly, do you think you would still have the right to stand here to show off in front of me, let alone to chase me out of the family? Who gave you the power? Let me tell you, Sheng Bowen. I’m the one deciding not to fight with you. If I do, you don’t stand a chance. You are still shamelessly slandering me here. Haven’t I been good enough to Grandpa all this time? Third Brother, you better not let Grandpa know about this. Otherwise, he will not let you go easily.”

Sheng Bowen did not say anything and played the recording. No, it was a video.

“Third Brother, you are too much.” When Sheng Kai saw Lawyer Song appear in the video, he quickly grabbed the phone and smashed it on the floor.

“The butler is so kind and caring to us. I never expected you to be this cruel. Sheng Kai, who do you think is the one who wants you to get lost?” Sheng Bowen asked Sheng Kai sharply, looking at the phone that was smashed into pieces.

“Isn’t it you? Or maybe, Eighth Brother?”

“It’s me!”

Right then, as the brothers were arguing fiercely, Grandpa Sheng walked out of his study.

The crowd turned their heads and saw him, all shocked.

“I want you to get lost from the Sheng family. Am I qualified enough?”

Seeing Grandpa Sheng, Sheng Kai took a few steps backward in disbelief. “Grandpa, don’t listen to Third Brother. I…”

“It was me who got Third Brother to confront you,” Grandpa Sheng said calmly. “I’m also the one who gave Third Brother the evidence. And it was my idea to get you out of the Sheng family. It has nothing to do with Third Brother.”

“Grandpa, I’m your grandson. How can you do this to me?”

“Then tell me. Why did you force the butler till he had nowhere to turn to? I will give you a chance to explain yourself.”

Sheng Kai choked. He couldn’t make up a story at all.

“Can’t explain yourself?”
