Chapter 430: The Score Is Settled When My Husband Steps Up

On that note, it was time for Feng Shanshan to ‘complain’ at the Sheng’s residence.

When she was about to leave the forensics lab next evening, she asked Mu Qiqi, “Is there anything you want me to tell the Sheng family?”

“I really don’t need that. Do as you please.”

They were still maintaining that confrontational reaction whenever they were together.

It was especially so on campus, where Feng Shanshan was still surrounded flocks of friends whereas Mu Qiqi remained alone. Nonetheless, Feng Shanshan would not try to bother her for now, and even if they appeared to be rivals, they were doing much for each other albeit coolly.

Mu Qiqi had mainly helped Feng Shanshan with her miscarriage and her scumbag ex.

On the other hand, Feng Shanshan had quelled many rumors for Mu Qiqi.

Of course, the most important part was that she sided with her against the Sheng family.

***

As a matter of fact, Old Sheng would either get Feng Shanshan to come to his house or personally visit her. Nonetheless, as information Mu Qiqi became ever duller and monotonous over the last six months, the old man was no longer bothered to sought our Feng Shanshan and would always have her go to him, and have his butler bring her to his study.

It was the same tonight.

Feng Shanshan followed the old butler when she reached the Sheng’s residence, running into the others of the Sheng family and even Gu Ziling on the way.

Gu Ziling immediately recognized her, and asked the butler, “Is Grandfather asking for that woman again?”

“Young Madam. It is Old Master Sheng’s affair and servants like us should not poke our nose in it.”

In her white gown, Gu Ziling turned imposingly towards Feng Shanshan. “We’ve met at the Empire the other day.”

“I remember,” Feng Shanshan replied pointedly.

“I don’t get why Grandfather values you so much, and you just might have something outstanding about you. However, I was still surprised when I saw how you looked at the hotel that day—I do believe you should maintain some basic manners as a lady, and don’t overstep boundaries.”

“There is no need for me to listen to your preaching, Young Madam.” Feng Shanshan stiffly retorted, before telling the old butler, “Let’s hurry.”

Gu Ziling was taken aback. It seems that this was the first time she encountered someone so uncooperative.

Was this the reason the old man would value this woman so much and have her keep an eye on Mu Qiqi?

Truly, birds of the same feather flock together!

Meanwhile, Feng Shanshan simply did not take Gu Ziling’s words to heart. She only had one boss and it was Old Sheng.

Soon, she and the butler entered the old man’s study, where he was practicing calligraphy.

“Chairman. I have come to give my report as usual.”

“You may go if there’s nothing special,” Old Sheng replied. “However, have you not seen Sheng Xiao after so long?”

Unruly as always, the old man was always furious whenever someone else mentioned Sheng Xiao, but he alone was allowed to.

“I did, once,” Feng Shanshan replied. “There was a murder case at midnight, and he drove Mu Qiqi to the crime scene with an ordinary sedan, and he looked dispirited—completely unlike the charismatic Crown Prince of old.”

“What could he do if he’s willing to be ruined by a whore? Continue keeping an eye on them… from now on, come once every fortnight, or come directly if you found anything out of the ordinary.”

“Apologies, Chairman, but it seems that the young madam of your house does not like me. It would be better if I call your number in the future.” Feng Shanshan suggested. “After all, average joes like me shouldn’t come to your house whenever we feel like it.”

The old man frowned at her words but nodded. “That works too.”

As ever, the family was arrogant and acted as if they were kings.

The servants were keeping an eye on Feng Shanshan when she left, seemingly afraid that a born-commoner would try to steal from the family. There was little wonder why Mu Qiqi would despise this family—in fact, anyone normal would.

It was as if their eyes had grown above their heads.

After stepping out of the Sheng’s residence, Feng Shanshan looked back at the massive mansion.

They were really as rich as they were dumb.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao bid his time and consolidated power, founding Zhongteng and showed everyone in Jianchuan something new. On the other hand, this family’s disposition remained ever shallow, and there was little wonder that they are falling short of their good reputation in Jianchuan.

She would really like to see the Sheng family’s faces after learning the connection between Zhongteng and Sheng Xiao.

***

Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi was leaning on Sheng Xiao and reading a case file, but when she remembered that Feng Shanshan was going to the Sheng’s house, she tugged at Sheng Xiao’s sleeve to ask, “Do you think Feng Shanshan would tell the Sheng family about your connection to Zhongteng?”

“Don’t you know that answer to that question?” Sheng Xiao glared at her. “Or do I really have to flatter your wisdom and decisiveness?”

Mu Qiqi smiled and handily wrapped her arms around Sheng Xiao’s neck. “I heard that Feng Shanshan’s scumbag ex was beaten up and sent to the hospital by his own father. There really is nothing to worry about when Xu Che is on the job.”

“Did she get even?”

“Of course, what with my husband stepping up… it was delightful.”

Sheng Xiao held Mu Qiqi’s head and kept her from moving around. His little one was becoming more and more adept at flattery, and there really is no telling when she would climb above his head and pee all over him.

“So, when is the business gathering?”

“In two days.” Sheng Xiao replied.

“I’m getting excited just thinking about it.” Mu Qiqi giggled.

On the next day, she and Feng Shanshan ran into each other at school, and the professor had also called them, saying that the case of the high-heels killer had been solved.

Both of them shared a look but said nothing.

After all, no one really could understand such crimes of passion.

It turns out that the murderer was the lover of a shoe shop owner, and she would wear that pair of high heels whenever they were out on dates, which left an impression in his heart.

Later, when he found out that the woman was wearing the same red heels in her dates with another man, he killed her in the heat of the moment, chopping off her limbs and threw her into the sewers.

And from that moment forward, he developed an agonizing hatred towards every woman who bought the same brand of red heels.

As such, he impersonated his lover and continued selling shoes on the internet, and would get the address of any lady who bought the same red heels, waiting for his chance to murder and vent.

Moreover, to fully experience the thrill, he had even personally assembled a machine that instantly dismembered the bodies…

Nonetheless, perhaps because she had become involved in more cases, Mu Qiqi was composed regardless of the murder case she encountered.
