Lets go home, Xiao Xiao.

Before Sheng Xiao started the ignition, he took a look at Feng Shanshan who was hailing a cab.

That woman had been bribed by Old Sheng to watch Qier, but to think that she would have the determination to watch her for half a year.

Of course, Feng Shanshan had also constantly bothered Qier in those six months.

You dont have to deal with someone like that. Leave that woman to me. Mu Qiqi seemed to be able to see through Sheng Xiao then, and understand what cunning plans were taking shape in his head. Feng Shanshan is proud, but that is because she actually has talent. That said, her boyfriend would soon get bored with her.

Ive already told Aunt Wu to ready another bath for you. Clean yourself up when you get home.

Roger! Mu Qiqi nodded.

Meanwhile, Feng Shanshan finally got a cap and went straight to her boyfriends home, but he would not open the door for her no matter what.

Dispirited, she sat in the living room for the entire night.

When the next morning came, her boyfriend came out of his room and kicked her awake when he found her sleeping there. Dont come here anymore. Lets break up.

What did you say?! Feng Shanshan exclaimed, sitting up.

Am I not being clear or does your ear have problems? Im telling you not to come anymore. Ive really had enough of you, stinking every time I see you and hanging out with corpses. Having meals with you really hurts my appetite.

Thats not what you said when you were wooing me.

I thought that your job sounded cool back then. Who could have known that you would be so disgusting? And its not like my parents agreed to us being together, so lets end this.

With those words, the rich kid even whipped out a bank card. Theres two hundred thousand in there. Consider it compensation! Take the money and get lost.

Finding it all extremely comical, Feng Shanshan stood up and took the card.

Turns out that years of relationship could be so cheap.

With that, Feng Shanshan left her boyfriends villa with the gold card.

Throw it away then.

Feng Shanshan certainly didsnapping the card in two after she left the mansion and thew it in a bin. Although she came from an average family, she believed that she had not coveted for anything from her boyfriend, not to mention that the man had wooed her on his own.

But having no place to go, she could only head to the forensics lab.

It was certainly difficult to decide whether Feng Shanshan was a good person or a villainwhich was why Mu Qiqi abided with her keeping an eye on herself.

***

When Sheng Xiao was about to leave the house the next morning, he told Mu Qiqi, Come with me to a business gathering in two days.

Alright, Ill make time for you. She replied.

She wasnt aware and didnt think that Sheng Xiao would go public with his new status on that night, because her brain was fully occupied with the case of the high-heeled women.

Soon, she arrived at school only to find that the ever-prideful Feng Shanshan was not tailing her today.

She was simply sprawled over her desk, perhaps because she did not have a good sleep last night.

After classes, they went together to the forensics lab, and Mu Qiqi sensed that something wasnt right when she saw Feng Shanshans complexion. You look worse than the corpses in there.

That was when Feng Shanshan leaned on the door and huffed rapidly. Then, as she stubbornly tired to help the professor test potential murder weapons, she fainted halfway through.

Take her to the hospital. Her complexion is horrible.

Keep testing, professor. Ill bring her there. Mu Qiqi said.

After all, the forensics team was too busyonly Mu Qiqi herself and Feng Shanshan were not that important because they were interns.

The professor nodded and said, Take good care of her.

Even though the professor was aware that the pair had always been at odds, he was not worried that Mu Qiqi would bother Feng Shanshan. After all, Mu Qiqi was someone who could differentiate between right and wrong.

Soon, Mu Qiqi had arrived at the hospital with Feng Shanshan, and the doctor told her after a checkup, Her child cant be saved. Will her family be here soon?

Im her classmate, but would I do? I dont know her family and dont know how to get in touch with them.

Alright, sign here. The doctor told her.

Once again, Mu Qiqi met another person who didnt cherish herself.

After she gave her signature, the ensuing surgery took less than an hour.

Feng Shanshan was conscious when she was wheeled out.

Nonetheless, her complexion was horrible, although she was even more surprised to find that Mu Qiqi was watching her at the hospital.

You

Why make yourself so miserable if you really think yourself so cool? Are you letting a man being selfish just like that? Mu Qiqi said, glaring at her. But youre alright now, so call your family. Im done here.

You would help me after Ive been tailing you around?

Dont misunderstand. Everyone was busy, and only I have the free time to bring you here.

With that, Mu Qiqi turned to leave, although she turned around just before she left and said, Why try to cling on to the rich with your pride? A man who really loves you would always take precautions. Guess you are another blind one.

Feng Shanshan knew then that Mu Qiqis best friend Lu Qianqian had met the same fate.

You win. You have my weakness now, and can do anything you like.

I wont sink that low!

With those words, Mu Qiqi really turned and left, whereas Feng Shanshan cried out loud in her bed. She was already twenty-twounlike Mu Qiqi, she could have married and a start a family if her man was reliable.

It was a pity that she had lost everything overnight.

But though there is everything you could want in this world, there is no medicine for regret.

Even so.

Dont think I would give up on the money from the Sheng family just because you helped me, Feng Shanshan thought to herself.

After all, she would keep doing what she did before.

But Mu Qiqi had never been afraid of that

***

Having met Xu Che at the auction, Sheng Kai had the lingering feeling that Third Brother might really be acquainted with him, and so tested Third Brother when he came home. Do you remember that person who brought you home last time when you had too much to drink?

Xu Che, however, had already mentioned it to Third Brother and such an issue was naturally all too easy. Not sure. Was it a bartender? Im drunk at the time but why are you asking about him?

He was representing Zhongteng, and fought us for the land on the east side of the city.

I see. To think that I was so close to a big shot Third Brother chuckled. Second Brother, did you come to ask me because you thought that I know him?
