Chapter 268: Maybe Some Kind of Drug Was Used

After Sheng Yu came of age, Sheng Hongyao could no longer strictly control him, and his rights as a guardian were also weakened, so Sheng Yu had more time to go to Yucheng.

A few years ago, Sheng Yu's maternal grandfather, the elder of the Yu family, was still alive, but he was advanced in years and could no longer support the Yu Family, while his illegitimate son, Yu Weixiong, was incapable and could not shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Coupled with Sheng Hongyao's intention to suppress the Yu Family, the Yu Family declined time and again.

At that time, Sheng Yu proposed that the Yu Family should hide their light and bide their time, act with a low profile, and reduce their presence.

Sure enough, the Yu Family was no longer targeted by Sheng Hongyao and kept a low profile to recuperate.

Before the old man passed away, he held his hand and said one thing—if your mother were still alive, the entire Yu Family would be hers, but it doesn't matter, I still have you, good child, you must protect the Yu Family for your grandfather.

For so many years, on the surface, Yu Weixiong has been in charge of the Yu Family, but in secret, Sheng Yu is the one who makes the decisions, and it was also Sheng Yu who made the Yu Family act with a low profile for so many years, only to stun everyone in one fell swoop.

The uncle and nephew have a good relationship; although Sheng Yu does not talk much, he is still willing to say a few more words to this uncle.

"Sheng Hongwei is the man behind Shen Yijing."

Yu Weixiong's hand holding the chopsticks paused, "What did I say last time? I said there might be someone behind Shen Yijing, but you didn't believe me at the time."

"Yes, I was too complacent; I didn't expect that there really was someone behind her."

"How could it be Sheng Hongwei? It's actually him."

The bonsai in the middle of the private room sprayed fine white mist, and Sheng Yu looked down at the chopsticks in his hand, "That night, I set a trap to lure Shen Yijing out, but I didn't expect to lure out the person behind her; it can be considered an unexpected gain. Sheng Hongwei still refuses to admit it, but I have plenty of ways to make him talk."

"So, the rumors outside that you and Zhu Yuan have reconciled are false?"

"If it were true, would I still be depressed?" Sheng Yu gulped down a mouthful of tea, "I don't even know where she is now; she really doesn't want me anymore."

"Don't be anxious; at least you've caught Sheng Hongwei. Only then can you ensure her safety when you find Zhu Yuan in the future."

Yu Weixiong seemed still shocked by the news just now, "I didn't expect that it was Sheng Hongwei playing tricks behind the scenes. No wonder; Sheng Hongwei was the chief designer of the Hot Spring Villa back then, and he knew where the emergency exits were."

"Mm." There was no emotion on Sheng Yu's face.

"Although I knew he was shrewd, his scheming is just too deep!"

Sheng Yu gave a cold snort, "Otherwise, why do you think Sheng Hongyao had to force his way into Jingshan Bieyuan? Sheng Hongwei gave him such a big green hat; could he just let it go? It was because they were going to kill each other that the old lady came to me for help."

Hearing this, Yu Weixiong looked shocked and asked in disbelief: "What green hat?"

Sheng Yu drank a mouthful of soup and said indifferently: "The child in Shen Yijing's womb that I hit with my car back then was not Sheng Hongyao's seed."

In the private room, Yu Weixiong gasped, "There's such a thing!"

"I was also very surprised when I found out the truth."

"Then Shen Yijing's death..."

"Sheng Hongyao shot and killed her."

Yu Weixiong gripped his chopsticks tightly, "He is indeed ruthless. Shen Yijing had been with him for so many years, after all. But any man would be unable to bear such a thing, let alone someone as conceited and arrogant as Sheng Hongyao."

"Having said that, I didn't expect that Sheng Hongyao has hated you for so many years, yet he was being used by someone. No wonder he wanted to kill Sheng Hongwei after killing Shen Yijing; Sheng Hongwei is too vicious."

He added food to Sheng Yu's bowl again, "This matter has been hidden for so many years. It's surprising that Shen Yijing didn't choose to take it to her grave, but instead confessed to you."

Sheng Yu's black eyes were dark and bright, "It wasn't her who confessed."

"Then who?"

Sheng Yu smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "I don't know what happened, but after I was injured last time, I began to vaguely remember what happened that night when I was eighteen. I didn't hit Shen Yijing with the car; I was used by her."

Yu Weixiong suddenly widened his eyes, put down his chopsticks, and turned to stare at Sheng Yu, "How could there be such a thing? Were you hypnotized or something?"

"I've looked for a hypnotist, and there were no signs of being hypnotized. It might have been some kind of drug. Unfortunately, I lost too much blood, so it's not easy to find out now."

Yu Weixiong said worriedly: "Have you checked more carefully?"

"Qiao Mai is doing a blood analysis to see if he can find anything, but this might take a long time."

Hearing him say this, Yu Weixiong comforted him: "Technology is so advanced now; you will always be able to find some clues."

"I hope so." Sheng Yu curled his lips, "If I can really find something, perhaps I can remember other things."

Yu Weixiong's expression was grave, "Sheng Hongwei is truly insane to have drugged you. I hope it has no other effects on your body, otherwise, I won't let him off!"

Sheng Yu took out a lighter and a cigarette case, "Yes, I was also very surprised when I learned the truth. I didn't expect that the one who has always wanted to harm me would be a relative by my side."

Yu Weixiong sighed, "Who would have thought."

He saw Sheng Yu press the lighter several times without lighting the flame, "You should change this lighter; look at how much the paint has peeled off."

As he spoke, he was about to take out his own lighter to light his cigarette.

"No need." Sheng Yu held the lighter and flicked it, pressed it again, and lit the cigarette.

Yu Weixiong said speechlessly: "Was it a gift from Zhu Yuan? You treasure it so much."

Sheng Yu gave a hum.

"As the Chairman of the dignified Sheng Group, you use such a broken lighter; aren't you afraid of people laughing at you?" Yu Weixiong said in a doting tone.

Sheng Yu didn't care, "Let them laugh; what use is a face?"

Yuanyuan doesn't even want him anymore, so what face does he need?

After the meal, Sheng Yu wanted to take Yu Weixiong to the hotel where he was staying.

Yu Weixiong stopped him, "You've been bothered enough by those things; no need to send me off, go back and get some rest early."

"It doesn't matter, there's nothing to do back there anyway, and I only want to scold someone when I look at a dog."

Yu Weixiong thought of the scene where he was all alone with only a dog for company, and his face showed a mix of heartache and amusement. He walked up, raised his arm, and patted his arm, "You will find her eventually; just consider it that distance makes the heart grow fonder."

"Alright, I have an event early tomorrow morning, I'm heading back first."

After watching Yu Weixiong get into the car, Sheng Yu sat in his own car.

He felt for the lighter in his pocket and pressed it, but the flame didn't light. He flicked the lighter out of habit, pressed it again, and the flame finally flickered to life.

Lighting a cigarette, Sheng Yu stared at the broken lighter; he didn't know where she bought it, but the quality was worrying.

Yet he couldn't bear to throw it away.

The car drove toward the Hot Spring Villa, and Sheng Yu lowered the car window, watching the direction where Yu Weixiong's car disappeared, a touch of coldness appearing in his eyes.
