Chapter 563: The Villain's Schemes Have Increased

Hu Xing looked around while talking to the Security Guard.

He was looking to see where the people watching Shi Youxuan were hiding.

"Act normal, don't look around." Shi Youxuan's warning came through the earpiece.

"Mm." He was too nervous and didn't pay attention, accidentally answering out loud.

"What did you say, Sister Xing?"

Hu Xing hurriedly used a cough to cover it up: "Mm! Ahem, nothing, my throat is a bit uncomfortable from drinking too much yesterday."

He stepped in his high heels, swaying his hips as he went inside.

"Relax, don't be nervous, but don't play any tricks either. Things have reached this point; you have no other way out except to cooperate with me..." Shi Youxuan cautioned.

Sheng Hanyu turned off the microphone: "Say less, you're like a chatterbox. The more you do this, the more nervous he gets."

Shi Youxuan thought what he said made sense, but she wasn't convinced in her heart: "I only gave one reminder, and you call me a chatterbox. Is it that you've long been annoyed by my talking too much?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

"I haven't." He denied it immediately.

One cannot joke about this kind of thing; the answer must be cautious. One slip-up and it's easy to be kicked to the guest room to sleep.

"I think you do. Did you take a fancy to someone with fair skin, beauty, and long legs, and want to have a romantic encounter with him too? Don't be impatient. Once Sheng Yukai is caught, I'll help you set up a date..." Shi Youxuan said more and more outrageously.

But she still kept a straight face, making Sheng Hanyu glare at her constantly.

"Oh, why are you staring with your eyes so round? Can't wait anymore? Even if you can't wait, you have to wait. At least you have to wait for Sheng Yukai to appear, right..." This woman was getting more and more excessive; her nonsense had no bottom line.

He turned his head away, choosing to ignore her.

Half an hour passed.

The time agreed upon by Sheng Yukai and Hu Xing had arrived, but Sheng Yukai had not yet appeared.

Several people had solemn expressions, and Shi Youxuan stopped talking too.

Jian Yixin worried: "Do you think he won't come?"

Sheng Zerong held his wife in his arms and comforted her: "Don't worry, he should appear."

In fact, the person who felt the worst here was Sheng Zerong.

He and Sheng Yukai were biological brothers, but he had caused the deaths of their father and grandfather, and their mother was also mentally unstable because of this brother.

Being both blood relatives and having the feud of a murdered father, a relationship where bones are broken but tendons remain connected, yet having an irreconcilable, deep-seated hatred—this relationship was very complex, so complex that he never wanted to see Sheng Yukai for the rest of his life.

Another ten minutes passed.

Sheng Yukai still hadn't appeared.

Hu Xing took the initiative to call out: "Is it possible he won't come? In the past, when we agreed on a time, he was never late; he was very punctual."

"Keep waiting, stop the nonsense." Sheng Hanyu warned in a cold voice.

One hour passed.

Night fell, and the time for the nightclub to open arrived.

Guests walked inside one after another, more and more of them.

The people hiding in the dark observed without even blinking, terrified that Sheng Yukai might have disguised himself and mixed into the crowd without them noticing.

People went in and out; business at the nightclub was quite good, almost packed.

But the few people guarding in the car were becoming increasingly disappointed.

It was already one o'clock in the morning.

Everyone had to accept a fact—Sheng Yukai was not coming!

"I'll have someone take you back; Zerong and I will continue to wait here." Sheng Hanyu knew that the chance of Sheng Yukai appearing was already very slim, but he still wouldn't give up and wanted to keep waiting.

"Wait!"

Shi Youxuan suddenly shouted, giving everyone a fright.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think Sheng Yukai might have installed a bug on Hu Xing? Just like us, but when we installed ours, he knew. What if Sheng Yukai didn't let him know..."

The mood of the few people was very heavy; this was entirely possible.

After waiting for so long, there was no point in continuing to wait.

Shi Youxuan had Hu Xing come out, and after he got into the car, they indeed discovered a tiny pinhole camera inside the plush rabbit decoration on his bag.

Hu Xing cried his heart out, swearing repeatedly that he didn't know about this matter. Being monitored also meant he had betrayed that person, and that person would not spare him.

Shi Youxuan and the others were already annoyed, and with him crying endlessly, they became even more agitated.

This lead of Hu Xing's could no longer be used; he had to be sent away.

Shi Youxuan handed him a check: "Take this money and go do a small business. Don't work in nightclubs in the future. Don't worry, I won't tell the people in your village about your affairs, and your mother won't know what kind of work you've been doing outside or about your surgery."

"But you still have to do me one last favor. Are you willing?"

Hu Xing nodded repeatedly: "Willing, I am willing."

He had originally thought that since they hadn't caught that person, he would be sent to the Prison, which was why he had cried so sadly just now.

He hadn't expected that these big shots would not only not send him to prison, but also promised not to tell his family, and even gave him money.

The check was for one million.

It was a lot of money, and Hu Xing was very moved. Never mind one favor, even thirty or fifty would be fine.

Shi Youxuan had him write a statement, a statement framing Sheng Zerong.

He very readily wrote it according to Shi Youxuan's requirements, signed his name, and pressed his fingerprint.

This statement might not necessarily be used, but keeping it was better than being sorry.

Sheng Yukai was full of tricks; who knew if he would play hard to get again?

In case he stirred up the heat of "the scandal" again, this statement could be brought out to slap him in the face.

Hu Xing wrote down the statement, took the check, and left.

Everyone else also left, each returning to their own home.

……

At the same time.

Sheng Yukai sat in front of the screen, using the remote control in his hand to repeatedly turn to the playback, admiring the part where they dug the video head out of the rogue rabbit.

He was very pleased with himself.

He raised the red wine glass in his hand to toast Jian Yixin on the screen, muttering to himself: "Yixin, oh Yixin, from childhood to adulthood you were never willing to look at me once. I thought you were high-minded and could only fancy Hanyu, but look at what kind of thing you married?"

"Sheng Zerong, hehe, you actually managed to marry him? Can you tell me, were you momentarily possessed or did you get water in your brain? That Sheng Zerong doesn't have a single point better than me. You can even fancy him, yet you can't fancy me... I won't let you have an easy time. Everything you gave me, I will return to you with interest..."

From that day on, it was calm and peaceful for several more days.

However, this time no one dared to let their guard down; Sheng Yukai was right there in Jiangzhou, and he was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment!

……

Sheng Zichen turned one year old.

Shi Youxuan discussed it with Sheng Hanyu: "Husband, let's not hold a big celebration for Erbao's first birthday, shall we? At a time like this, I don't want to be too flashy."

Sheng Hanyu ruffled her hair: "Fine, I'll listen to you."

The couple decided on this, but Sheng Jiang was unhappy.

His son and daughter-in-law hadn't held their wedding in Jiangzhou; although the wedding was very lively, he always felt something was missing.

Originally, he had planned to take advantage of his grandson's first birthday banquet to make up for the lost spectacle, and he had been excited for several full days. Now that Erbao was about to turn one, they said they didn't want a big banquet and would just invite a few friends to the house to celebrate, and that would be it.

He was unwilling; he didn't want to just let it go like that!
