Chapter 145: Deeper Schemes Lie Ahead

Someone sent a stack of photos to Shi Yuke; in the photos, Sheng Yukai was holding a seductive woman as they walked into a hotel, the two of them looking as intimate as a couple deeply in love.

Bai Xue sophistically argued: "What does this prove? Maybe they were taken before; are you not allowed to let A Kai have a girlfriend before he knew you?"

Shi Yuke trembled with anger, pointed her finger at Bai Xue's nose and said: "Are you blind? Can't you see the date on it?"

Indeed, there was a date in the bottom right corner of the photos, and the time was exactly at noon, when the whole family was searching the world for Sheng Yukai.

Shi Yuke had been kept at the entrance of the police station by Bai Xue's orders and was not allowed to leave; as a result, she had waited for her husband like a rabbit waiting for a tree stump, only to wait for this set of photos instead!

Shi Yuke cursed loudly; although Bai Xue and Sheng Hai did not like to hear it, they could only comfort their daughter-in-law with kind words, praising her for being sensible and understanding, and promising that they, as her parents-in-law, would certainly stand up for her.

That she did not go to the hotel to catch them immediately, but instead came home to make a scene, was in itself giving the Sheng Family face.

Sheng Yukai's time in the police station had already seriously affected the Sheng Family's reputation; if it became known to outsiders that he had gone to open a room with a woman right after leaving the hotel, the Sheng Family's reputation would plummet even further!

Bai Xue comforted Shi Yuke with kind words at home, while Sheng Hai personally took people to the hotel to drag Sheng Yukai back.

Sheng Yukai had been locked up in the police station for several days, his beard was unshaven, his clothes were wrinkled, and yet he still went to have an affair like this.

Not to mention Shi Yuke, even his parents felt their son had truly gone too far this time.

"Kneel down and apologize to your wife," Sheng Hai ordered.

Bai Xue felt it was unnecessary for her husband to do this; although she had been wronged this time, wouldn't it be fine if he treated her better in the future? There was absolutely no need to make her son kneel to her.

"No need, Dad, it's enough that A Kai is back safely." Shi Yuke reversed her earlier angry and restless demeanor and went to Sheng Yukai: "Husband, go take a shower first to wash away the bad luck, and I'll have the kitchen make you something good to nourish yourself."

Sheng Yukai had been lectured by his father the entire way back, and Sheng Hai had told him everything Shi Yuke had done over these past few days; he had originally felt guilty toward Shi Yuke.

As a result, Shi Yuke did not complain about him at all and was even so virtuous, which made the guilt in his heart grow even stronger.

The police station had originally notified him that he would be released at ten o'clock, but they let him out at eight; he waited at the entrance for Shi Yuke to pick him up, but instead of Shi Yuke, a woman with a hot figure walked over.

The woman brought a wave of fragrance as she walked by, and with just one flirtatious glance, she hooked him away!

Although he knew in his heart that he should go home, his feet and eyes would not listen to him...

He knew he regretted it now, and holding his wife's hand, he repented: "Yuke, forgive me this one time, I promise to treat you well in the future."

"Mm, go take a shower, I'll go check on the kitchen."

Sheng Hanyu Villa.

Shi Youxuan handed the computer to Sheng Hanyu: "Look, Shi Yuke has successfully entered the Sheng Group board of directors and management."

The appointment notice for Shi Yuke to become the Chairman's Chief Secretary had only been on the Sheng Group intranet for two minutes before Shi Youxuan saw it.

Sheng Hanyu looked at her helplessly: "Can't you be a little more low-key?"

One must know that the Sheng Group's intranet was built by experts hired by his grandfather at a great cost; he had sent people to hack it several times without success, yet for Shi Youxuan, going in and out was as easy as entering her own home.

Shi Youxuan raised her eyebrows: "It's fine, even if I watch them hold a shareholders' meeting, they won't be able to discover me."

Originally, when the Old Chairman was in charge, shareholders' meetings were held in secret, and many of the company's core secrets were locked in safes and not connected to the internet at all.

But after Sheng Yukai took office, he changed this rule; at first, some company veterans objected, but after the Earth King Project was lost, those dissenting voices disappeared.

"With such great ability, why do you still need Shi Yuke to act as an inside agent?" Sheng Hanyu felt it was an unnecessary move, even feeling it was a bit like painting a snake and adding feet.

Even without using Shi Yuke, or even without Shi Youxuan having to step in, he alone, relying on the accumulation of five years at Dingsheng, could deal a heavy blow to the Sheng Group; crushing Sheng Yukai was only a matter of time!

Of course... if Shi Youxuan were not here, he would definitely have done that.

It was just that doing so would be equivalent to a head-on collision, hurting the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred himself!

But ever since Shi Youxuan appeared in his life, everything had become different; besides having more color in his life, even the way he dealt with Sheng Yukai had changed a lot.

He didn't know what was inside that little head of hers, but every time she could make Sheng Yukai lose a layer of skin while she remained unscathed and completely unaffected.

So when he told his little wife the news brought back by Lao Qi, the plan she whispered in his ear made his eyes light up, and he agreed without hesitation.

Agreeing was one thing, but it didn't stop him from using this matter to bicker with his little wife; of course, he never won.

This time was the same, Shi Youxuan argued righteously: "Shi Yuke standing in the front is equivalent to a firewall that can take the initiative to attack; we are very safe behind her, as long as we provide ideas and pay a little maintenance fee, and besides, we don't even need to pay the maintenance fee, as Sheng Yukai will naturally offer it up in large amounts."

Letting them have an internal conflict, Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu could just watch the fire from the other side of the river.

Waiting until they had seen enough of the spectacle before stepping in to clean up the mess without having to pay any price—Shi Youxuan's plan could be called perfect, and Sheng Hanyu admired it from the bottom of his heart.

It was just that his male chauvinism was at work, making him too embarrassed to admit it out loud.

Wang Yingzhi came to the Villa again to look for Sheng Hanyu.

The housekeeper frowned when she saw her and did not have a good tone: "Why are you here again?"

Wang Yingzhi did not have a single good impression of the housekeeper, so she also said unpleasantly: "I'm looking for my son, move aside, a good dog doesn't block the way." In her heart, the housekeeper Zhang Ma was just a dog, with no use other than watching the house and biting people.

"No, the Eldest Young Master has ordered that you are not allowed to enter; you should leave. Having benefited from the Eldest Young Master for so many years, you should be content."

After this was said, Wang Yingzhi immediately exploded, suddenly raising her volume: "He is my son, I gave birth to him, isn't it natural that I benefit? You want to benefit but can't even get the chance; you're called a housekeeper, but in reality, you are just a servant of our Sheng Family, born with a servant's fate..."

Wang Yingzhi's loud voice was heard by the two people upstairs.

Sheng Hanyu had been in a very good mood, but after hearing her voice, his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

He took out his phone, preparing to call the bodyguards to have them drive her away!

Just as he got the phone in his hand, it was pressed down by Shi Youxuan's hand; she smiled craftily: "She came at the right time, she can help us with something, I'll go down and talk."

"What help can she provide?" Sheng Hanyu reminded: "You haven't had much contact and don't understand this person; once you get entangled with her, it's never good, and you won't escape without losing a layer of skin."

"If I can handle this matter beautifully, how about you agree to a condition of mine?" Shi Youxuan's smile became even brighter, with an expression of being sure of victory.

"Go for it! I believe in you."

The man turned away and ignored her bait.

"Hmph!"

Sheng Hanyu did not fall for it, so Shi Youxuan made a face at him and then went downstairs.

The lobby downstairs.

The bodyguards and the housekeeper were trying to drive Wang Yingzhi out, and she was shamelessly shouting loudly: "Sheng Hanyu, I am your biological mother, you don't even care about your own mother and father, what kind of Jiangzhou celebrity are you? A dignified Chairman who doesn't support his parents, I'll shout this outside and make your reputation hit rock bottom..."
