Chapter 79: Bizarre Brain Circuits

However, Sheng Yukai's words sounded pleasant, hitting the mark in her heart, and she nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly, only A Kai understands me."

"Sigh!"

Wang Yingzhi sighed again: "If Hanyu and your eldest uncle were half as good as you, why do you think my life is so bitter?"

As she spoke, sorrow welled up from within, and she began to wipe away tears: "My husband doesn't understand me, and my son treats me like an enemy. Not to mention comforting or soothing me, he won't even give me a pleasant look..."

She didn't stop to think about how much the things she had done had hurt her son's heart; she only felt that since she had given birth to her son, he should unconditionally be good to her for his entire life.

Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently built up, Sheng Yukai seized the opportunity and said: "Eldest Aunt, you can't blame Eldest Brother for this matter either. Think about it, the police currently suspect the two of you; there must be a murderer between you and Eldest Brother..."

"It's not me, it really isn't me."

Wang Yingzhi was panicked to the extreme and waved her hands repeatedly.

Sheng Yukai slapped the table with a "Bang!": "Then it must be Eldest Brother who did it."

"Ah?"

She slumped dejectedly into the sofa, her face full of misery: "What to do, what can be done? I only have this one son. A life for a life—if something happens to him, who can I rely on for the rest of my life..."

Sheng Yukai felt disdain in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Eldest Aunt, we must save Eldest Brother. If we wait until they find the person in the lake, it will be too late."

"Right, he must be rescued... A Kai, how should we save him?"

Wang Yingzhi's old habit of being muddle-headed flared up again; she thought Sheng Yukai was genuinely looking out for her.

The old man's talk of "harmony in the family brings prosperity" and "when brothers are of one mind, they can cut through metal"—she was the only one in the whole family who believed it!

"Eldest Aunt, we can do this..." Sheng Yukai stopped mid-sentence, then fell silent for a few seconds before backing out: "I think we'd better forget it. Even if I have good intentions, Eldest Brother won't appreciate it."

"Don't stop talking, A Kai. If your Eldest Brother doesn't appreciate it, your Eldest Aunt does. Tell me about it." Wang Yingzhi was anxious.

"You do this, and then this..."

Sheng Yukai whispered his plan to Wang Yingzhi. At first, she was a little hesitant, but later, being both intimidated and coaxed by Sheng Yukai, she came to believe it.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts, my stomach hurts so much!" After lunch, Wang Yingzhi clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.

At first, no one paid any attention, but before long she was drenched in sweat, sliding from her chair onto the floor and rolling around!

Jiang Yadan knew they could no longer be in-laws and was very cold.

Seeing her like this, not only did she not sympathize, she even made sarcastic remarks: "Oh, is this retribution for doing too many bad things?"

Shi Yucheng glared at her fiercely, and she finally shut her mouth.

Yet Bai Xue, who had always looked down on Wang Yingzhi, was very concerned. She crouched down to check: "Eldest Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Tell me where it hurts?"

"My stomach, my stomach hurts so much... Ouch... it hurts to death!"

Wang Yingzhi wasn't faking the illness; her stomach really hurt. Sheng Yukai had given her a pill, saying that taking it would cause a bit of suffering but would have no effect on her health.

While crying out in pain, she cursed Sheng Yukai countless times in her heart. Is this just "a bit of suffering"?

Her intestines felt as if they were being twisted together by someone's hands, so painful that she was about to faint.

"Old Master, hurry and send Eldest Sister-in-law to the hospital? Her face is deathly pale, and her pupils seem to be dilated..." Bai Xue exclaimed loudly: "Could it be Twisted Intestine Colic? If she isn't sent to the hospital immediately, she'll die!"

Bai Xue's family was a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and she had a certain authority in this area.

Hearing "Twisted Intestine Colic," the old man couldn't remain calm either: "Sheng Jiang, what are you still standing there for? Go tell the people outside the situation and dispatch a car to take her to the hospital."

Only then did Sheng Jiang run out as if waking from a dream.

The police agreed, a car was quickly prepared, and Wang Yingzhi was carried into the car and sent away.

Sheng Hanyu ate lunch in the Study and did not join the others; he only heard about Wang Yingzhi being sent to the hospital from the butler.

He also heard from the butler that Wang Yingzhi had run away from the hospital!

"Faking illness and running away from the hospital? Why?" Sheng Hanyu faintly sensed a hint of conspiracy here.

This was his territory, and nothing that happened on his territory could escape his eyes.

Shi Yuke was brought into the room by Sheng Yukai, then Sheng Yukai went to find Wang Yingzhi, and immediately after, Wang Yingzhi committed an earth-shattering, ghost-weeping act of stupidity—faking illness and escaping from the hospital!

This matter definitely had something to do with Sheng Yukai.

The butler said: "The Old Master has signed a military pledge before the police, saying he will definitely find her within two hours. If he can't find her, the police will issue a wanted notice."

Once a wanted notice is issued, the suspect becomes a confirmed criminal.

"Hmm, I see."

The butler went out, and Sheng Hanyu thought for a moment before going to find his grandfather.

The grandfather and grandson were locked in a room for a secret talk for over ten minutes, and then all of Sheng Hanyu's bodyguards were placed under the Old Master's command. They hadn't been sent out for even half an hour before they found Wang Yingzhi!

The Old Master had his son and Wang Yingzhi locked in a room together, the windows nailed shut so they couldn't be opened, and people were stationed at the door to guard it.

Then he gave his eldest son a task: ask her why she ran away and who instigated it.

The Old Master didn't believe for a second that it was Wang Yingzhi's own idea.

Sheng Jiang followed his father's instructions and did indeed ask, but he didn't get anything out of her!

The bodyguard reported to the Old Master: "Chairman, the Eldest Madam says it was her own idea, no one else instigated it. She thought, she assumed..."

The bodyguard couldn't even repeat the rest of it; that kind of reasoning was too ridiculous. No one else could really come up with it except for the Eldest Madam's brain circuits.

"Speak."

The Old Master frowned; just thinking about this daughter-in-law made his temples throb with pain.

Back then, he blamed his wife for saying she was afraid of marrying a shrewd woman who would bully their son, as the eldest son's temperament was too soft and he needed someone equally soft to avoid being pushed around.

As a result, they married such a thing into the family, and they had to worry about her for a lifetime!

Of course, it wasn't without any benefits; the two of them produced Sheng Hanyu, and if it weren't for the sake of his eldest grandson, he would have long wanted his son to divorce and remarry.

The bodyguard gritted his teeth and said: "The Eldest Madam said that if she ran away, the police would focus their attention on her, and then she could clear the suspicion from the Eldest Young Master!"

The Old Master was also speechless.

Did she think the construction workers and police outside didn't exist?

If there is nothing in the lake, then naturally neither of them will have any trouble due to insufficient evidence.

If something is dug up from the lake, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, she will be caught and brought back, and her crimes will be compounded!

What does this have to do with Sheng Hanyu?

She cannot help at all and only adds to the chaos.

He could not be bothered to say anything more to his daughter-in-law and only instructed the bodyguard: "Go tell the Eldest Madam that if she reveals who instigated this, I will let this matter go and hold no grudges."

"If she refuses to say, then once this matter passes, she must leave the Sheng Family and divorce the eldest master."

The bodyguard agreed and left, but soon returned: "Chairman, the Eldest Madam said it was the second young master who gave her the idea."

"Go call Sheng Yukai here."

The old man's expression was very grim; it was not that he did not know Sheng Yukai was eyeing the position of Chairman of the Sheng Family covetously, but for the sake of the big picture, he had always turned a blind eye.

He had originally hoped for family harmony and prosperity, thinking that when the two children grew older, they would understand his painstaking efforts and work together to make the Sheng Family even stronger!

But looking at it now, all of this was just his own wishful thinking.

Sheng Yukai was called before the old man, standing properly and respectfully: "Grandfather, did you look for me for something?"

"Kneel down," the old man barked.
