Chapter 87: Returning to the Sheng Family Mansion for the Truth

Sheng Zerong still wanted to block them, but the door to the Hospital Ward was pushed open once again.

Only this time, it wasn't reporters who entered, but Jian Yining and Shi Youxuan!

"So you really are here; you made us look hard." Jian Yining patted Sheng Hanyu on the shoulder: "Tell us what you need us to do."

Sheng Zerong recognized the mask Shi Youxuan was wearing at a glance: "You are Yingzi? Why did you come too?"

Yingzi said briefly: "To help. Do you need it?"

"Need it, we need it."

Sheng Zerong nodded incessantly. In just twelve short hours, so many things had happened, and there were so many things he still needed to do. He was just worrying about not having three heads and six arms to solve them all, and now helpers had arrived just in time.

He asked the two of them to stay at the hospital to keep the eldest brother company, while he went back first to see how things were at the Sheng Family Mansion.

Originally, he wasn't the only one who arrived at the hospital last night; Sheng Jiang and Sheng Yukai had also been sent by ambulance to treat their injuries.

However, Sheng Yukai, who had the most severe injuries, had quietly left the hospital after simple treatment, and after daybreak, news came that Grandfather had been cremated.

The fact that Grandfather was cremated in such a rush was already suspicious, and immediately after, word spread outside that this was Sheng Hanyu's idea...

There was no need to guess; it was definitely Sheng Yukai's conspiracy. Sheng Zerong was going back now to confront him!

"I'm going with you." Sheng Hanyu insisted on being discharged.

Furthermore, Jian Yining and Yingzi both supported him.

Jian Yining: "Zerong, you can't suppress this matter. I agree with Hanyu Ge coming forward to resolve it."

Yingzi: "Playing dead is useless. Only by meeting the real Li Kui will one know who the fake Li Kui is."

Since both of them said so, he had no choice but to agree, and the four of them returned to the Sheng Family together.

Sheng Family Mansion.

The gate outside the courtyard was tightly shut, and eight bodyguards with completely unfamiliar faces were guarding the entrance as if facing a formidable enemy.

The mansion was quiet as if there was no one there, with only the occasional "clatter-bang" noise coming from the utility room.

The housekeeper Zhang Ma and Sheng Hanyu's driver were tied tightly to chairs with a Rope, and their mouths were covered with a circle of tape, preventing the two from calling out!

It was already noon, but all the lights in the living room were still on. All the servants who had participated in fighting the fire yesterday were crowded into the dining room, and the housekeeper was lecturing them.

She demanded that everyone keep their stories consistent, following what the Second Madam had taught them just a moment ago.

Whether in front of the police or reporters, they were to use the same set of excuses. Once this matter was over, everyone would receive three extra months of salary. Of course, if they said the wrong thing and were discovered—they would be fired immediately!

The salaries at the Sheng Family were the highest in the industry, and what the Second Madam asked everyone to say wasn't too excessive; it was just a matter of keeping the details consistent, nothing else.

Of course, the reason was also very sufficient—for the sake of the family's stability and unity.

To ensure the Sheng Family would not be in turmoil, everyone had to weather the difficulties together.

After silencing the servants, the family of three, Sheng Hai, gathered in the room.

Bai Xue closed the door, patted her chest, and then hurriedly asked her son: "A Kai, what exactly happened last night?"

Sheng Yukai felt guilty and dared not meet his mother's gaze: "What do you mean what happened? I don't understand what you're asking."

"Slap!"

Sheng Hai slapped his son across the face, and Sheng Yukai was stunned by the blow.

From childhood to adulthood, because his temper and personality were most like his father's, only Sheng Zerong ever got beaten; his father had never laid a finger on him before.

"You, you hit me?"

"I hit you because you deserve it."

Sheng Hai's gloomy face didn't change, only now it was livid with anger. He pointed at his son with his finger: "You, you beast, you even dared to kill your own grandfather. Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do? In the future, are you going to kill your mother and me too?"

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Sheng Yukai's forehead. He "thumped" to his knees before his father: "Dad, you, how did you know? Who told you?"

As he spoke, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes; if a servant had seen it, he would immediately move to eliminate them!

Seeing this, Sheng Hai didn't feel chilled; instead, he felt quite comforted. A man must be ruthless to succeed; he firmly believed that without a ruthless heart, one could not accomplish great things.

"I saw it. From beginning to end, I was the only one who saw it. Are you planning to kill me to silence me too?"

Sheng Yukai slumped to the floor, the fierce glint in his eyes completely gone. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to his father: "No, it's the same whether you two know or just I know. I am your son; you wouldn't betray me."

"Enough, stop saying useless things. Tell me, what are you planning to do next?"

The three of them were conspiring in the room when Sheng Hanyu and the others returned.

"Stop the car."

The bodyguards blocked them: "What are you doing here?"

Sheng Hanyu didn't speak, but Sheng Zerong was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "This is my home, what are you doing here?"

The bodyguard's tone became much more polite: "Please state your names. We are bodyguards hired by President Sheng to ensure the safety of the household."

"Get lost. Do I need to tell you my name to return to my own home? What a joke."

Sheng Zerong was furious. A person who usually had a very good temper was thoroughly enraged by his second brother's shameless behavior.

He kept his hands on the steering wheel and warned: "This is the last time I'll ask you, are you opening the gate or not? If you don't, I'm going to force my way in."

Yingzi took out her phone at the same time: "I'm calling the police. Who knows if they are bodyguards or robbers!"

"Don't call the police, we are just following orders. How about this, give me one minute... no, thirty seconds..."

The serious and cold-looking bodyguards revealed their cowardly nature the moment they were threatened; they were all show and no substance.

"Sit tight."

"Vroom—"

Sheng Zerong instantly put the car in reverse for a few meters, preparing to floor the gas pedal and charge through in the next move.

"Open the gate, open it quickly!"

The gate opened, and the group entered the courtyard. After getting out of the car, Sheng Zerong began to shout loudly: "Where is everyone? Is there anyone left in this house who is still breathing?"

Soon, a servant ran out, froze for a moment upon seeing the group, and then said to Sheng Zerong: "Third Young Master, you're back? The Madam and the Master are upstairs."

"You all wait here for me, I'll go in and take a look." Sheng Zerong told the three of them to stay in the courtyard while he went in to scout the situation inside.

Sheng Hanyu grabbed him: "Be careful."

"Mm, don't worry, Big Brother, they won't be able to do anything to me."

Just as Sheng Zerong entered the doorway, his parents and second brother came out from the room.

Sheng Hai had a gloomy face: "You aren't recuperating from your injuries at the hospital, so what are you back here for?"

"Dad, what is going on with the reports outside? And the obituary hasn't even been issued, everyone hasn't even paid their last respects, so why was Grandfather cremated? Was this all his idea?"

Sheng Zerong pointed his finger at Sheng Yukai, asking all the questions that filled his belly.

"Bastard."

Sheng Hai scolded his youngest son: "You've studied for so many years abroad, has it all gone to the dogs? Such a big thing has happened at home, and instead of helping, you're colluding with outsiders to question your own family. If you can't stand the sight of your family, then get out."

The father and son basically ended up on bad terms every time they talked.

"Fine, I'll get out." Sheng Zerong subconsciously started to leave, but just as he turned his head, he realized something was wrong and turned back: "Don't dodge the topic. Right now it's only me asking; if Big Brother comes to ask, let's see how you're going to wrap this up..."

"Slap!"

Sheng Hai struck his youngest son across the face: "You traitorous thing, don't you have any idea who your own flesh-and-blood brother is? You're always helping outsiders to deal with your own people. Mind your own business less; don't think that just because you're my son, I can't do anything to you."

Bai Xue watched it all, her heart aching.

Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh; she felt heartache no matter which son was being scolded.

She pushed her husband away to shield her youngest son: "What are you doing? Zerong is just young and doesn't know any better. Speak to him properly; don't make the father and son act like enemies."
