Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 918

Chapter 918: This is a Bet

Mu Qiqi’s eyes widened when she heard the word ‘daddy’. She raised her head and looked at Sheng Xiao. “You still remember this…”

“A bet is a bet.” Sheng Xiao stared at her head as he spoke.

“But if I call you ‘daddy’… doesn’t this person in my stomach have to call you ‘grandfather’? Doesn’t my father have to call you ‘brother’?”

Sheng Xiao saw where she was going, so he said teasingly, “There are many ways of saying ‘daddy’. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just to add a certain something.”

Mu Qiqi was stunned for a moment. Then, she pounded Sheng Xiao’s chest. “You like this kind of thing?”

“This is a bet.”

“Next time.” Mu Qiqi did not resist anymore. Since it was a bet, of course she had to keep her word.

“Don’t go back on your word next time.”

Speaking of father, Shen Jianchuan had been in Luo Hai for some time now and there had been no news at all. She did not know what was going on. Did he have any conflict with Sheng Kai?

Mu Qiqi was angry at the thought of this. The Song family had been fanning the flames everywhere and doing things that angered the people and gods. She really felt that she was seeking revenge and doing justice for the heavens.

She would have to teach Song Bozhi a proper lesson in two days!

..

The next morning, not long after Mu Qiqi woke up, Old Master Shen called to report that Elder Liu had disappeared.

He had been happy yesterday and had drunk at the Lin residence, so he had slept rather soundly. Who knew that when he woke up in the morning, the old guy would have disappeared without a trace.

“Grandfather, don’t be anxious. Perhaps he just went out for a walk.”

“Xiao Qi, you don’t understand this person. He must have gone back to Luo Hai because of his sons. I’ll call your father now and ask him to stop him. If anything happens, the doctor already said that he won’t be able to pick them up.” At that moment, Old Master Shen hated himself for his carelessness.

He had thought that after all these days of persuasion, this person would be able to get over it. Who knew that he would still miss his unfilial sons.

“Grandfather, everyone has their own destiny. Perhaps, Grandfather Liu still wishes for his son to be by his side. You shouldn’t force yourself too much.”

“He’s really stubborn and unable to think straight.” After saying that, Old Master Shen hung up.

On Shen Jianchuan’s side, because of the Liu family’s three children, he was already exhausted. If Elder Liu returned at this moment, then everything that the Shen family had done would have been in vain.

During this period of time, he had seen Sheng Kai in Luo Hai, but he hadn’t had the chance to speak to him. Shen Jianchuan did not know why the Sheng family would have such a devious seedling. It would have been fine if he was just doing some devious business, but it just had to be things for the Song family, a family that disregarded human lives.

Sometimes, when he thought about it, he always felt very regretful.

After that, Shen Jianchuan received a call from Old Master Shen, but he did not receive any further news. As he had expected Elder Liu to act on his own, Shen Jianchuan had sent people to keep an eye on any movements. If Elder Liu were to return, he should be able to find out immediately.

“Dad, you are not sure where Old Master Liu has gone. Don’t be anxious. If he were to come over, I will definitely receive the news and do my best to stop him.” Shen Jianchuan replied over the phone.

“I can only look around. Jianchuan, I have a bad feeling about this.”

“Dad, there are some things that you can not control. We can only do our best.” Shen Jianchuan comforted Old Master Shen.

When he thought of the three good-for-nothing sons of the Liu family, Shen Jianchuan got a headache. If they were his children, he would have dragged them to the end of their lives long ago. Even if they were rescued now, they would not know what it meant to change the past. Who knows, things might even become worse.

It was no wonder Elder Liu got so angry that he was in pain.

Typically, for a person his age, as long as his children and grandchildren did their best, he would not be in such a miserable situation.

..

These days, Shen Jianchuan had been dealing with things at Luo Hai. Sheng Kai and Song Qiaozhi had seen it all.

Thinking about her fiancé who had died in the past, she could understand Shen Jianchuan’s feelings at this moment. It was all because of the Song family.

“Ah Kai, you… Could it be that you really intend to help my father achieve his plans? The Liu family is already living a life worse than death.”

Sheng Kai was sitting in front of his desk dealing with Changrong Electronics’ business. When he heard Song Qiaozhi’s question, he sneered. “If I don’t trust him like this, do you think he’ll really trust me?”

“I just… don’t want you to become an executioner with blood on your hands. Then, you’ll be no different from my father.”

Song Qiaozhi sat on the bed and tidied up his clothes. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Sheng Kai turned around and looked at her. He got up and went over to hug her. “Of course, I also hope that this matter will end, but not now. We don’t have any evidence of your father’s guilt in our hands. We don’t have any room to struggle because I know that he’s only using you as a tool. If we’re no longer useful, then the Liu family’s today will be our tomorrow.”

“I’m sorry.” Song Qiaozhi turned her head and apologized. “I shouldn’t have dragged you into this. This is a bottomless abyss.”

“I chose to walk in. After I came in, I finally understood what it meant to walk on thin ice at every step. Now, I can feel how Eighth Brother felt when he was managing Huang Yao. After I’ve calmed down, I realized how much time I wasted on meaningless things in the past.

“Don’t worry. I don’t want to kill them all. I’m just doing it for your father’s sake.”

“Sorry to make things difficult for you.”

“Perhaps, this is what Eighth Brother meant about my special strength.” Sheng Kai shrugged. “However, even if we don’t do anything, those three troublemakers of the Liu family probably won’t live for long. They’re troublemakers themselves.”

“You shouldn’t be the one to do it. In the end, the responsibility falls on you.”

Sheng Kai thought for a moment and smiled faintly. Perhaps the first thing he had to learn from Song Jiang was how to avoid responsibility.

Of course, he didn’t mean the kind of responsibility that should be rightly shouldered, but… he had to learn to plan ahead, to make plans for the future.

“I’ve done a lot of wrong things too. If that day really comes, then I deserve it.” Sheng Kai didn’t shy away from this point.

“It won’t happen. We’ll all escape the Song family’s control alive.”

With that, Song Qiaozhi reached out and hugged Sheng Kai.

..

He was an old man over 50 years of age, and he was seriously ill. Now, he had three sons who refused to change, and an ex-wife who was insatiable when it came to her greed.

What else could he want to do when he was on the verge of death?

He would return to Luo Hai to meet his wife and settle some family matters with his own hands.

As for the Song family, he could no longer care about them because he knew that the Shen family would settle the matter with them. He only wanted to see his wife and sons now.

Even though so many years had passed since he was in the military, he still had enough in him to make sure he managed to move in the shadow.

Shen Jianchuan did not receive any news from the old man, but the old man had indeed returned to Luo Hai, to an apartment close to the sea.

After that, he found some connections and bailed out his son before contacting them and telling them to go home.
