Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife

“Since I have time, I might as well keep an eye on Mama Bai. I’ll get Xu Che to arrange for this. It would be too easy to recognize the police if they have a stakeout.”

Tang Yan had no objections. Even if the bureau chief didn’t agree, he had to investigate this matter thoroughly. He couldn’t let Old Cheng suffer in vain.

..

Three days later, the traffic accident liability statement was issued. Although Sheng Bowen was framed, he didn’t take the initiative to call the police when he drove away after the accident. It indeed constituted an escape.

Therefore, the police followed along with the statement.

Sheng Bowen was very calm. He just told Ren Yufei, “When I’m not here, the vice president will temporarily replace me. You have to help him well.”

“Bowen, I don’t have the mood to do that.” Ren Yufei’s face was deathly pale.

“I’ll be out soon. You can rest assured and stay at home. From time to time, go and see Jiayu for me.”

Ren Yufei’s eyes were red. It was obvious that she couldn’t bear for him to leave. She really wished that she was the one in trouble. However, there weren’t many things that she could do for Sheng Bowen. Right now, she couldn’t afford to lose her composure.

Moreover, there was still Qiqi and Sheng Xiao.

Although, subconsciously, she felt that it was really shameful to rely on others for everything.

Sheng Bowen did not let her follow him. He only asked someone to inform Shen Yu that it was time for the barrister to show his prowess.

However, the news of the arrest of the president of Huang Yao quickly spread. This was the so-called bad news that spread far and wide.

Shen Yu quickly carried his briefcase to the detention center and saw Sheng Bowen. “I’m currently arranging for you to be released on bail pending trial, so I might have to trouble you to stay in there for a period of time. I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements for this matter. Just leave everything to me.”

“You’re the lawyer that Eighth Brother’s brought back from the United States. My life is in your hands. You must do your best.” Sheng Bowen indeed pretended to be innocent and sweet, as if he was being controlled by Shen Yu.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”

The Sheng family’s lawyer was a little shocked when he heard the news. Although he knew that Sheng Xiao had asked him to secretly prepare for a lawsuit, it was really unbelievable that Sheng Bowen’s case would be opened as a criminal case.

To constitute an escape, several conditions had to be met. Subjectively, Sheng Bowen had to know that the accident had happened and had deliberately evaded responsibility. The police investigations team could find that Sheng Bowen did not tick any of the boxes. Otherwise, how could he have been so calm as to go shopping with his wife?

Secondly, objectively, Sheng Bowen had not committed any illegal driving, had not violated the road traffic regulations, and had been framed. He himself was a victim.

Thirdly, on the victim’s end, Sheng Bowen had actively cooperated with the compensation for Xiao Jiayu. The victim had expressed her understanding that this matter should not be filed, and that she did not know who was behind it.

However, this was only the second step in Jin Bo’s plan. Sheng Bowen’s case was destined to be reversed when Xiao Jiayu’s uncle and aunt were arrested.

In order to achieve the final goal, Jin Bo would carry out the next step of his plan.

The criminal case would be filed, and Sheng Bowen would be arrested. After Shen Yu released him on bail pending trial, he would arrange for an even more serious traffic accident for him. At that time, even ten Sheng Xiaos would not be able to protect Sheng Bowen.

..

After hearing the news that Sheng Bowen was taken away, Old Master Sheng seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

No matter how much money he earned, he would not be able to exchange them for his grandson’s freedom.

That night, Old Master Sheng fell ill. No one could take care of him when he was sick, so he kept calling Xiao Qi.

Ren Yufei had no choice but to call Mu Qiqi. “Qiqi, I don’t mean to disturb your rest, but Grandpa fell ill after finding out Bowen was arrested. His fever has not subsided and he kept calling out your name. If you have time, can you come and see Grandpa?”

“It’s already so late. If it’s alright, I’ll come over.”

That wretched old man used to always find trouble with her when he was still strong. Now that he was a changed man, he was sick all the time.

Mu Qiqi quickly got up and headed to the Sheng family home with Sheng Xiao.

The old man lay unconscious on the bed, his hands scratching the air.

Mu Qiqi quickly grabbed him. “Damned old man, I’m back. Weren’t you looking for me?”

The old man struggled for a moment before opening his eyes. He looked at Mu Qiqi, who was sitting by the bed. “Xiao Qi? Am I dreaming?”

“I live at the Banyan Courtyard, not far away from the horizon. What are you dreaming about!” Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. “You didn’t know how to love Third Brother before. Now you’re learning to regret it, aren’t you?”

The old man struggled to sit up and leaned against the soft pillow. His eyes were wet. “If it weren’t for the trouble I caused, Third Brother wouldn’t have to suffer.”

“He never hated you in his heart,” Mu Qiqi said. “Hurry up and drink the medicine. Third Sister-in-law has been taking care of you for half the night. You should let her rest too.”

The old man refused to listen to anyone’s advice. But for some reason, he listened to Mu Qiqi.

He drank the entire bowl of medicine in his hand.

“If anything happens to you at this critical moment, don’t you think that Third Brother will hate himself for the rest of his life when he finds out?” Mu Qiqi threatened him.

“I just want him to be fine. I want to see my grandson come back.”

“Who said that your grandson won’t come back?” Mu Qiqi held his shoulder and said, “Has my Xiao Xiao fallen out of favor? I’ve told you many times that he will definitely save Third Brother. You still don’t believe me.”

“Eighth Brother, are you really confident?”

“The plan is being carried out in an orderly manner. I won’t let your precious grandson lose a single hair,” Sheng Xiao guaranteed from the side.

Only then was the old man at ease. “Seeing that the two of you can still support each other, even if I die, I see it clearly.”

Mu Qiqi seemed to have been defeated by him. He used to be such a proud and unyielding person, but now he was throwing a tantrum and acting spoiled everywhere.

However, he could not be disliked.

“Can you sleep now? I’ll stay here with Xiao Xiao and leave after you’ve fallen asleep.”

The old man was relieved. He closed his eyes again. Perhaps it was because Mu Qiqi and Xiao Xiao were with him that he found a sense of security he had not felt in a long time. Therefore, he dozed off very quickly and slept exceptionally soundly.

Old people and children were the same. There were very few people that he truly trusted and had very little sense of security.

However, things used to be like fire and water with this terrible old man. Why did he trust her the most now?

Outside the door, Ren Yufei was busy in the study. Since Sheng Bowen was not around, she had to look after Huang Yao for the Sheng family.

When Sheng Xiao and his wife walked out of the old man’s room, she came up to them and said to Sheng Xiao, “Eighth Brother, when Bowen left, he handed over the power to the vice president. However, I have a feeling that someone will take advantage of the situation. If something bad happens, would it be imprudent of me to ask for your help?”
