Chapter 264: I'm Going to Find Her

Enzo got into Sheng Yu's car and immediately explained the matter regarding Ning Huaiqing.

Although he knew Tu Ge would help him explain, he had to personally explain it well with his own glib little mouth.

"... That is how it happened, Young Master Yu. I didn't let her get half a step near the house you and Miss Zhu are staying in; I wouldn't even let her open a window to breathe the air of the Hot Spring Villa."

"Was the person sent away?" the man in the back seat asked coldly.

Enzo replied immediately: "Sent away, sent away. Ning Huaiqing isn't a difficult person, it's just that her child seems to be sick again."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the rearview mirror to quietly gauge the man's expression. The moment he saw Sheng Yu frown, he hurriedly explained: "I'm not pitying that child, oh; it's just that I heard Ning Huaiqing talking to the nanny on the phone."

Sheng Yu was expressionless and did not take the matter of that mother and child to heart at all.

The car drove into a quiet area and stopped outside a Chinese-style courtyard.

Seeing the familiar license plate, the housekeeper hurried over, looking slightly surprised: "Eldest Young Master?"

Why did this master come here?

One must know that it wasn't just the people working at the Sheng Family Old Residence who feared Sheng Yu; everyone connected to the Sheng Family feared Sheng Yu.

"Where is Second Master?" The tall, long-legged man got out of the car, his cold temperament making the housekeeper afraid to take even half a step forward.

"Second Master went out for an excursion and hasn't returned yet," the housekeeper replied.

Sheng Yu didn't speak and strode toward the house with his long legs.

The housekeeper, who was not tall and had short legs, hurriedly chased after him: "Young Master Yu, Second Master really hasn't returned yet. If you have any business, you can call him or let me convey it for you."

He was about to chase further when he was blocked by the tall and sturdy Enzo: "Even if Second Master isn't here, can't Young Master Yu go inside and sit for a while? Don't forget, the entire Sheng Family is his."

Hearing Enzo say this, the housekeeper felt panicked. His movements paused for a moment, and he was brushed aside by Sheng Yu.

By the time he caught up, Sheng Yu had already entered the house.

He happened to see a man wearing glasses coming down from upstairs.

Sheng Yu took a look and recognized him as Sheng Hongwei's family doctor.

"What happened to Second Master?" he asked the family doctor.

The family doctor was stunned, glanced at the housekeeper, and stammered.

The corners of Sheng Yu's lips curled up coldly: "It seems he is quite ill, to the point that even I must be kept in the dark."

In the second-floor bedroom, Sheng Hongwei's face was pale. The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, startling him and making his heart tighten.

He grabbed the glasses from the nightstand and put them on; those slightly shrewd eyes were now full of exhaustion.

When he saw Sheng Yu at the door, he snorted with no good temper.

"What are you here for?" Sheng Hongwei grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on.

But Sheng Yu still saw the gauze wrapped around his arm, stained with blood.

His gaze was cold and sharp: "Second Master is injured?"

"A minor injury." Sheng Hongwei finished putting on his clothes and looked at Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu walked over and sat on the sofa: "Since it's a minor injury, why hide it? Injured but not leaving a name? Does Second Master intend to recover quietly and then amaze everyone?"

Sheng Hongwei had watched Sheng Yu grow up. When the boy was young, he was quite obedient and very polite. Later, after his mother died, Sheng Hongyao's true nature was exposed, and he openly doted on his mistress, causing Sheng Yu's temperament to change drastically. This mouth of his became more poisonous by the day.

But thinking of his own injury, a sharp glint flashed in the depths of Sheng Hongwei's eyes: "I have always been low-key and don't want to make a big fuss. If your grandmother finds out, the old lady will worry again."

His excuse was watertight.

A nurse holding a tray hurried away.

But she was stopped by Enzo at the door.

Enzo reached out and lifted the gauze covering the tray.

Underneath lay, shockingly, a blood-stained bullet casing.

"Young Master Yu!" Enzo's expression changed slightly.

Sheng Yu glanced at it, his expression unreadable: "Second Master suffered a gunshot wound?"

Sheng Hongwei glared coldly at the nurse.

He withdrew his gaze, his hand under the quilt clenching tight: "Private grudge."

"You are my own uncle, after all. Just seeking revenge—where did Second Master get injured?" Sheng Yu pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

Completely disregarding that Sheng Hongwei was injured, he sat in his room blowing smoke.

Sheng Hongwei clenched his fingers: "I was ambushed just as I returned to Jingdu City. It was a grudge from business in the past. It's not something that can be explained in a word or two. You are so busy, so there is no need to be distracted by my affairs."

Sheng Yu smiled without smiling: "Second Master is quite concerned about me."

After leaving Sheng Hongwei's house, Sheng Yu sat in the car.

"Did you see clearly?"

Enzo nodded: "Saw clearly. That bullet casing is the same type as the one used by that group in Fengcheng."

Sheng Yu stubbed out his cigarette and sneered.

Wanting to use Sheng Hongwei to confuse the situation was indeed a good way to shed one's skin like a cicada.

But that person did not expect him to check the model of the bullet that hit Sheng Hongwei.

If Sheng Hongwei was the person in the car last night, after being hit by him, the bullet should have been a different model.

Thus, the scope of that person's identity had narrowed again.

It was almost about to surface.

Sheng Yu toyed with his lighter: "Send people to seal off this place."

In the evening, when Situ returned to the Hot Spring Villa, Situ noticed his mouth was red, as if injured: "Tu Ge, are you injured too?"

Situ touched the spot in the direction he pointed; there was a slight stinging pain. It was when he was about to kiss Chu Xin, and she suddenly raised her head and bumped into his mouth.

"A minor injury." He walked inside and saw Feiyuan rushing out from the room, circling around their feet.

He withdrew his gaze, "And Young Master Sheng?"

Enzo shook his head, "I don't know. He only told us to stay at the Hot Spring Villa and not to leave until he returns. He didn't allow us to follow him."

"When did this happen?" Situ frowned.

"It was right after we left Sheng Hongwei's house this afternoon. Young Master Sheng wouldn't let me follow him, and I didn't dare to ask him any more questions."

Situ took out his phone, just about to call Sheng Yu, when he received a message Sheng Yu had sent him half an hour ago.

【I am going to find her.】

In the weather of June, the sky is already bright past five o'clock.

Zhu Yuan went to sleep very early last night; waking up to the sound of birds outside the window early in the morning, she had no sleepiness left at all.

She got up, took a glass of warm water, and walked to the courtyard, first placing the glass on the stone table; that day, she had casually remarked that she didn't want a thousand-dollar one, but a stone table, so that in the future, they could play cards under the grape trellis.

Pei Ling had actually ordered people to have a stone table and stone stools custom-made.

Zhu Yuan stood in the courtyard, stretching her limbs briefly, then picked up the water glass and drank more than half of it.

Outside the small courtyard was a fairly long path that only allowed one car to pass.

Further past that was a row of houses.

And at this moment, Sheng Yu, wearing a black shirt, stood before a window.

He had stood here all night, motionless, like a statue.

Finally, the moment he saw the courtyard gate open and that familiar figure walk out, his muscles felt stiff and sore, and his eyes gradually turned red.
