Chapter 380: Would That Not Be Interesting?

“Second Brother, you like Miss Gu, don’t you?” Sixth Brother promptly smiled when he saw the look on Second Brother’s face. “I don’t blame you. Anyone would feel the desire to conquer an ice-cold beauty of such elegance, but it’s a pity that Grandpa is saving her for Eighth Brother.”

“Stop it.” Second Brother told him.

“It would be better if Eighth Brother never comes home. Let him stay poor with the Shen family…”

However, those thoughtless words from Sixth Brother really planted an idea in Second Brother. Back when Sheng Xiao was with them, he certainly yielded to Sheng Xiao’s competence and would let him have his way because it only made sense.

However, now that Sheng Xiao himself decided he want nothing from the Sheng family, Second Brother felt that he had the right to compete with him.

“It wouldn’t be just me. With Miss Gu’s looks and her family background, I really don’t care for the Shen family. So what if their uncle is mayor?”

“Don’t try anything with her. Grandpa has his plans.”

“Second Brother, aren’t you self-aware at all? I know Miss Gu is not prepared for me. I just think that you have a shot!”

“Now, she is going to stay with our family for a while. You two could slowly develop some feelings.”

Sixth Brother was just finished when Old Sheng turned to Second Brother as well. “Try to spare some time to spend with Ziling, let her get used to our family. Second Brother, don’t let me down.”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa.”

Gu Ziling turned to Second Brother then.

In truth, the man’s looks alone were extraordinary and was at least one in ten thousand. Still, she had high hopes towards the legendary Crown Prince.

After all, sometimes you just have to meet a person for yourself.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xiao was wearing a formal tailored suit in an exceedingly solemn conference room, walking side by side with a group of people dressed in military uniforms.

Xu Che was standing right beside him, acting no different from a soldier.

“I didn’t expect that the great Crown Prince of Huang Yao would take part in the military industry after leaving the Sheng family.”

“Life has as many turning points as decisions, isn’t that so? Secretary He.” Sheng Xiao had made all necessary arrangements discreetly and with assurance because of the other person.

And the other person was very contented with his answer.

He knew that Sheng Xiao was peerless in commerce, achieving great feats despite his young age and displaying outstanding competence.

“Sheng Xiao, I hope the quality of your production would meet the trust we have for you.”

“Thank you, Secretary He. Indeed, given the importance of arms production, nothing would matter more than quality. Well… let’s have a delightful partnership.”

Thanks to his reliable arrangements, Sheng Xiao secured a major contract for Zhongteng as he usually did back at Huang Yao.

“How rare to have such an excellent youth.”

“I will see you off, Secretary He.”

Even as Old Sheng was plotting how to make Sheng Xiao cave, Sheng Xiao had already secured a military contract for Zhongteng.

Aside from the Shen family’s connections, his individual competence was an important element in prompting the other side’s decision. historical

Sheng Xiao had shown everyone how sharp his blade could be back at Huang Yao. Still, now that he had changed to another line of work, he sheathed his sharpness, avoiding driving a sports car or wearing flashy clothes, even showing humility and restraint in words and actions.

This man and his very existence were utterly flexible.

“The Shen family hit the jackpot with such a son-in-law…”

Sheng Xiao and Xu Che escorted their new partners as they left, before returning to the Shen’s residence.

“Chief Sheng, you seem… to understand the military’s needs.” Xu Che said, gaining a further understanding of Sheng Xiao today.

He had assumed that Sheng Xiao would be ill-at-ease with the sudden change of work.

However, he felt as if Sheng Xiao himself had been in the military after his briefing with Secretary He today.

Seated on the back of the car, Sheng Xiao closed his eyes. “Knowing what the other person needs isn’t that hard. All it takes is to observe you closely.”

Xu Che did a double take…

So Sheng Xiao had chosen him as an assistant with such consideration.

Truly, there are just certain people you would have to yield to!

“Well, are we going to receive clients like this?”

“Let’s stay discreet if we could.” Sheng Xiao said. “After all, everyone we would meet from now on have amazing pockets.”

There would be no resorting to old tricks now!

“But wouldn’t they be more mysterious and powerful?”

Sheng Xiao’s lips curled into a smile while settling himself into a suitable angle, closing his eyes. “Wouldn’t that be interesting?”

“Well, it’s still early. Where to?”

“Take me to the forensics lab. You return to the Shen’s residence.”

“Are you going to watch Miss Mu play assistant?”

After all, that was not a place anyone could enter. He was not allowed to join the field team even if he was Qi’er’s partner.

Mu Qiqi herself had been seeing many a corpse lately and was becoming even more experienced. She could now analyze thoroughly, whether the person was murdered, killed, poisoned, drowned—or whether the corpse was found at the scene of the crime.

The forensic lecturer likes her very much, or she wouldn’t have recruited a first-year as his assistant.

Still, the corpse she was facing today was burnt, and had a strong resemblance to how Su Ziqing had died.

Time flies—it had been so long since then.

“Qiqi, what is your opinion on today’s cadaver?”

“The victim is burnt after death. The corpse would otherwise be in the pugilistic stance due to muscle stiffening and shortening from the heat if he had been burnt alive, which is why the body has lost all vitals even before it was burnt.”

“With that in mind, we have to find another cause of death on the corpse.”

In fact, Mu Qiqi wanted to add that there was a clear blunt trauma on the corpse’s head, and that she could tell the deceased’s age. Still, she felt that she was still too young and best keep herself to fewer words.

“That’s equal to saying nothing, you know.” The experienced forensics lecturer couldn’t help smiling.

Nonetheless, Mu Qiqi carefully studied the corpse and left the forensics lab after an hour.

That was the first time Sheng Xiao saw her wearing a white coat.

She looked somewhat like a forensic doctor dressed like that.

“Why did you come here, Xiao Xiao?” Mu Qiqi naturally went to him when she saw him.

“To take you home.” Sheng Xiao replied, and extended his hands to hug her.

But she evaded him.

“I smell. Your talks were a success wasn’t it?”

She could tell immediately from her black tailored suit.

“Can we go now?”

Mu Qiqi took off her large white coat then and nodded. “Sure… where are you taking me?”

“Shouldn’t you be buying me a present to celebrate a day like this?” Sheng Xiao couldn’t help chuckling.
