Chapter 517: Aren’t You Joining Me?
Sheng Kai was dumbfounded. He looked at Mu Qiqi intensely. His eyes were dark with emotions.
But before Sheng Kai could say anything, Gu Ziling’s uncle walked out of the interrogation room with the police officers.
“Are you alright, Uncle?”
The man shook his head and shouted, “Instead of looking for the real murderer, you caught an innocent citizen for questioning. You all are so incapable.”
Gu Ziling held the man but did not say anything. Sheng Kai stood up for his wife again. “If you want to summon the Gu family again, please contact my lawyer first.”
Mu Qiqi laughed and replied Sheng Kai. “CEO Sheng, perhaps you don’t know the seriousness of the matter. The victim died in a tragic way. The murderer was extremely vicious. And the Gu family should cooperate. Otherwise, when the case is solved without your help, the reputation of the Gu family will be tarnished.”
“Don’t worry about it. I thought you would share the burden of your sister-in-law, but...”
“Don’t pretend anymore, CEO Sheng. It’s meaningless.” Having said that, Mu Qiqi turned around and headed to the forensic laboratory with Feng Shanshan.
“Kai, you should now see how arrogant Mu Qiqi is.”
Sheng Kai did not say anything. He simply said, “Let’s go back.”

“That scumbag denied everything. He did not admit that he had met with the victim before. Although the police have found a witness, they do not have concrete evident. So, they can’t do anything to him,” The professor explained.
“Wouldn’t it mean that there is something suspicious when he tried so hard to cover up for himself?”
“His unwillingness to cooperate will make it very difficult for the investigation team to solve the case. Anyway, without him, the police will solve the case eventually. I’m sure it will be even more difficult now to summon him after today. If the Sheng family gets involved with this, things will get even worse.” historical
“They are just asking for trouble if they intervene. Sheng Kai might do that, but Grandpa Sheng will definitely not make such a mistake. Don’t worry about that.” Mu Qiqi answered confidently.
She knew how much Grandpa Sheng valued the interests of his family.
“Qiqi, when I look at you this way, you really don’t look like a wealthy person. When that woman came, and then the man, they brought along their lawyer and secretary, and even bodyguards. These should be the standards of a wealthy person. But look at you, you never act like that.” The professor laughed suddenly.
“I’m different. Those wealthy people are just the same. But I am a unique soul.”
“This is really my first time seeing you argue with Gu Ziling. No, I should say that this is my first time seeing you show your true ability. Gu Ziling could not even say a word.”
Feng Shanshan briefly expressed her admiration for Mu Qiqi. And of course, it happened just once.
“I’m confident. Of course, she could not refute.”
“Aren’t you worried that she will trouble you?” Feng Shanshan raised her eyebrows.
“First, the Gu family now is in a mess. I’m afraid they will have the energy to spare and handle the matter of Gu Ziling’s uncle. Secondly, Gu Ziling asked help from her husband. I’m sure Grandpa Sheng will let Sheng Kai withdraw from this matter. When it happens, they will argue again. Thirdly, to me, Gu Ziling’s tactics are just child’s play. She is simply too arrogant. She can’t even act. Her acting skill is worse than...”
“Worse than who?”
Mu Qiqi wanted to say Mu Tangxue’s name. But she did not think it was necessary.
“Anyway, things are not as complicated as you think. As long as we use the method I suggested before to threaten the Gu family, they will cooperate.”
The professor nodded. He finally acknowledged that Mu Qiqi was a wealthy person. “Now that you have said it, I think it sounds reasonable.”
It’s just that the tragic death of the mother and son was too pitiful.
“Although that man is a scumbag, I don’t think that he is the one who did it.”
Feng Shanshan nodded. “That man has a bad temper. I will believe it if you tell me he cuts people. But plucking the nails, stuffing stone into the vagina and feeding the victim iron nails do not look like things he would do.”
“He must know something, ” Mu Qiqi said thoughtfully.
...
At night, Mu Qiqi dragged her exhausted body home. Once she was home, she fell into Sheng Xiao’s arms.
Sheng Xiao could smell the odor on her body, but he did not push her away. “Any progress?”
“Gu Ziling and the Crown Prince really came to make trouble. But they did not get any advantage because I’m better with words than them.”
“Don’t worry. The Gu family will not have the time to handle the matter of that man.”
Mu Qiqi raised her head and looked at Sheng Xiao when she heard him. “What happened?”
“Today, Mama Gu brought her husband to the company as usual for the regular meeting. However, the shareholders got into an argument in the meeting. The chairman was triggered, and he lost his mind immediately. He even hurt some people. Now everyone in Gu Corporation knows about his mental issues.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing this, Mu Qiqi smirked. “I always have a feeling that things will happen to the mother and the daughter. In the early stage of schizophrenia, getting treatments in the hospital is crucial. Medication and special care must be provided. Instead, they let the family doctor treat him in order to stabilize the company. Of course, his condition will worsen.”
“An organizational change is about to take place in Gu Corporation!”
Mu Qiqi did not care about that. Although she was not on good terms with Gu Ziling, she would not harm her when she was in trouble.
After all, Gu Ziling had never succeeded in hurting her.
“I shall take a shower now. I really stink.”
“Okay,” said Sheng Xiao calmly.
“Aren’t you joining me?”
“I still have some documents to go through,” replied Sheng Xiao.
Mu Qiqi nodded and got up from the couch. After she went into the bedroom, Sheng Xiao took out the blueprints of the ring the designer had given him. He studied them carefully before making his choice. The ring would not be ready by the time he got married to Mu Qiqi abroad on her birthday. Nevertheless, the ring was the item that she would wear in her hand for her whole life. He did not want to simply choose one and get it done. He wanted to give her a surprise.
Later, Mu Qiqi read the news about Gu Corporation on her phone while lying in the bathtub.
Papa Gu was admitted into the hospital after the exposure of his secret. Even Mama Gu was capable, she could no longer hide it.
With the situation now, could Gu Ziling intervene in the case?
She did not believe that she could.
Perhaps Gu Ziling was explaining herself to Grandpa Sheng now.
In fact, her guess was right. When Grandpa Sheng knew that Sheng Kai brought his lawyer to help Gu Ziling in the police station, he immediately summoned him to his study.
“Are you crazy? Her uncle is involved in a murder. Once you make a mistake, we will all get drowned in it. When the Sheng family is affected, will you be able to bear the responsibility?”
