Chapter 193: Sheng Yu is already suspicious of you

It is not that he understands Ning Huaiqing, but rather that in the long time he has known her, she has always been law-abiding and never fought or scrambled for anything.

A sudden, abnormal behavior easily arouses suspicion.

Situ replied, "Last night at the dinner table, Miss Ning received two calls from the same number; it's just that Miss Ning didn't answer the first one, and only answered after a few minutes had passed. Furthermore, there was a text message between these two calls, also from this number. But the content of the text message has already been deleted."

In the quiet study, one could hear a pin drop.

The man's knuckles tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he narrowed his eyes, "That text message must be the key to why she answered the call."

And, according to his way of thinking.

That text message was most likely a threat.

"However, it will take a long time to recover it, and it might not necessarily be successful," Situ said candidly.

Sheng Yu leaned against the edge of the desk, "Have you checked the number's registration location?"

Situ nodded, "It's from Yucheng."

Yucheng...

"Young Master Yu, could it be Sheng Hongyao? He has been on a business trip in Yucheng for the past two days."

"Not necessarily," Sheng Yu said very calmly, "The more it points to him, the less likely it is to be him. Though, I cannot rule out that the old man has learned his lesson and is doing the opposite."

However, before dawn, the people Situ sent out found the owner of that number.

It was an elderly scavenger.

The other party claimed that his mobile phone was lost a few days ago; he lived alone and was not very educated, so he did not know that he needed to report the loss and get a replacement card in time.

Situ reported the information he had gathered to Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu sneered, "Quite cautious."

Speaking of caution, Situ remembered another thing, "Young Master Yu, Miss Ning's phone is too clean; there is no excess data. The photo album only contains a few photos of fireworks from the Lunar New Year. Since returning to the country, she hasn't used her phone to chat with anyone, and she rarely makes calls. There were a few calls from London, but the duration was also very short."

It was clearly a new phone, but even for a new phone, it was too clean.

Sheng Yu gave a hum, "Send someone to check on the London side as well."

He picked up his coat and walked out, looking back at the servant.

"Keep a close eye on Feiyuan; don't let it disturb Yuanyuan's sleep."

After they returned last night, he took her to soak in the hot spring and, incidentally, did some things to help her sleep.

Once in the car, Sheng Yu glanced at the rearview mirror and straightened his tie.

The dark blue patterned tie was something Zhu Yuan had bought at the mall yesterday at noon.

The price was twice as expensive as that pair of cufflinks.

The volume was much larger than that pair of cufflinks.

It was even stained with Zhu Yuan's salty tears.

Last night by the hot spring pool, the box containing the tie fell out of her bag, and he incidentally used it as a tool to cover Zhu Yuan's eyes.

Thinking of how she couldn't see anything after being blindfolded, trembling in his arms like dew on a petal in the early morning.

Sheng Yu curled the corners of his lips.

That afternoon in Kyoto City, Ning Huaiqing was sitting by the hospital bed wiping her father's hands.

Sheng Yu had people arrange for a medical team from abroad, and they would arrive in Kyoto tomorrow.

Thinking that her father could wake up, Ning Huaiqing couldn't help but redden her eyes; tears fell, and she said hoarsely, "Dad, I'm sorry. But I love Sheng Yu; I cannot watch him be ruined. You can forgive me, right?"

She seemed to be comforting herself, saying over and over again that her father would forgive her.

Suddenly, a nurse knocked on the ward door.

"Miss Ning, there is a call for you."

Ning Huaiqing was stunned for a moment, "For me?"

The nurse nodded, "The call came to the nurse's station, saying it was for you."

Ning Huaiqing frowned; those who knew her knew her number, and those who didn't know her certainly wouldn't look for her.

Then this call...

She suddenly realized it might be that mysterious person, so she hurriedly stood up and followed the nurse out.

Walking to the nurse's station, she picked up the landline receiver, covered it with her hand against her ear, and took a deep breath, "Hello?"

The voice that had been processed came from the other end of the phone again, only compared to the threat that night, today's voice clearly carried anger, scolding her: "What did you do to Sheng Yu!"

"What do you mean?" Ning Huaiqing nervously observed her surroundings; the nurses were all busy, and no one was paying attention to her side.

"Why did you call me?"

The other party sneered, "Sheng Yu is already suspicious of you."

Ning Huaiqing's scalp went numb, "What did you say?"

"He sent people to London to investigate your life trajectory, and sent people to check the number I used to call you that day... Did you do something to make him suspicious of you? You stupid woman!"

However, Ning Huaiqing only heard the other party say that Sheng Yu sent people to London to investigate her life trajectory...

Her complexion turned very bad in an instant, "Then did he discover..."

If Sheng Yu found out about the existence of the child, how angry would he be, and how serious would the consequences be?

Fortunately, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Luckily, I prepared a backup plan in advance and wiped the tracks of your child clean; Sheng Yu was a step late and couldn't find anything."

Ning Huaiqing broke out in a cold sweat, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"You will know when the time comes," the other party gave a cold laugh, "You had better not do anything now to avoid Sheng Yu suspecting you."

After the call hung up, Ning Huaiqing hurriedly returned to the ward and closed the door, only then gasping for air in large gulps.

Why would Sheng Yu suddenly investigate her?

Why would he suspect her?

Could it be…

Did her unusually extreme behavior that night make him suspicious?

The more she thought about this possibility, the more it made sense.

A chill ran down Ning Huaiqing's spine.

Sheng Yu's keenness was terrifying.

…

On the day Zhu Yuan returned to Yucheng for her performance, Sheng Yu drove her to the Airport himself to meet up with the theater troupe.

The car came to a stop.

Zhu Yuan unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out, but Sheng Yu pulled her back and asked slowly, "You're just leaving like this?"

Feigning ignorance, Zhu Yuan teased him, "I'm not leaving, I'm flying."

"Trying to play word games with me, are you?" Sheng Yu did not let go and pulled her a bit closer.

"Are you going to coax me or not?"

The man's low, husky voice made Zhu Yuan's heart skip a beat.

Her habit of blushing for others had struck again.

Who asks to be coaxed so proactively and says it so bluntly!

She blushed and said, "How old are you, why are you like this?"

"Like what?" he asked in his usual tone, "Are you going to coax me or not?"

Seeing that the assembly time was almost up, Zhu Yuan pushed his hand away, "I'm going to work to earn money to buy you more gifts."

He liked the tie from that night very much; it could serve as a tool and be worn as an accessory, and he had worn it every day since then.

She was afraid that one day the tie would fade from his use, and others would laugh at him, a dignified CEO, for wearing an old tie.

Hearing her words, Sheng Yu still kept a straight face, but the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
