Gu Ziling had done a thorough background check on the butler and his daily routines. Now, all they had to do was to find a chance to talk to him.

So, she behaved herself every day to make herself look harmless.

However, the more she acted like this, the more Hu Ran got suspicious. Hu Ran knew Gu Ziling and Sheng Kai were planning something big, nothing short of a conspiracy.

Sheng Kai now focused on working in the company as the vice CEO. He had better interpersonal skills than Sheng Bowen. So, not long after, those who were disappointed in him would only think that he was temporarily bewitched. They would not think that there was a problem in his ability.

Looking at Sheng Bowens current management style, he was too idealistic. It was impossible for him to understand the needs of the companys internal personnel.

So, eventually, Sheng Kai won more support.

Of course, there were still a portion of people supporting Sheng Bowen.

CEO Sheng, the vice CEOs are having dinner together again, arent you joining?

The secretary who was sent by Sheng Kai to Sheng Bowen as a spy had become eyes for Sheng Bowen to monitor Sheng Kai. How the tables had turned.

Is that so? The frequency of them having dinner together is so high.

Although Sheng Bowen sounded sarcastic, he did not seem to be wanting to stop them. Because he knew that when people were not of the same mind, it was useless to go and please them or conspire against them. It might be even worse as they might both suffer.

Arent you angry at all?

What use is it to get angry? We dont have the same mindset, so theres nothing to be concerned about. If he really can snatch the position of CEO from me, I wont complain, said Sheng Bowen. Just wait. I will let those people know that they are wrong!

Compared to Sheng Kai, Sheng Bowen was more broad-minded and forgiving.

Even though he knew he was surrounded by wolves and tigers, he never wanted to act like Sheng Kai to get rid of them. He knew it was a never-ending job. So, the only way was to conquer them.

With all due respect, CEO, you should also care more about your grandfather.

I care a lot about him and he can understand my concern for him, he said, very simply.

The secretary smiled and shook her head. I dont mean that youre not sincere. Im just worried that other people might take advantage of it.

Im aware of it, said Sheng Bowen.

He could not make perfect plans like Sheng Xiao. But he could predict and prevent them from happening.

Although deep in his heart, he was very unwilling to scheme against his older brother, will Sheng Kai be merciful to him?

The secretary did not say anything, and Sheng Bowen lowered his head down to read Huang Yaos the important documents. Suddenly, Hu Ran came to the office.

When the secretary saw her, she said, Please wait for a while, Mistress.

Sheng Bowen, who was behind the secretary, saw Hu Ran and he immediately smiled. Why are you here?

Theres nothing much I can do at the hospital. So, I came to take a look at you, said Hu Ran. Second Sister-in-law takes good care of Grandpa in everything. She wont let anyone interfere.

Dont worry. Grandpa can tell who is loyal and who is evil. Grandpa wont be tricked by ingenuine love and care, said Sheng Bowen. We shall have dinner together.

Alright, get busy with your work. Im going to look around in your office. I havent done it yet.

This used to be Eighth Brothers office. I think this is a good place, so I moved in. The furnishing you see now is exactly the same as when Eighth Brother was using the room. I didnt change anything. Sheng Bowen picked up a document while explaining to Hu Ran.

Your secretary is very pretty!

Sheng Bowen chuckled when he heard it. She was arranged by Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law. Of course, she wont be bad.

Hu Rans face changed after hearing it. And you still keep her by your side?

Its enough with me knowing who I am. Are you jealous, Xiao Ran? Sheng Bowen asked tentatively.

I dont like to get jealous.

Ive made it clear with the secretary. I let her stay to prevent Second Brother from sending more people. At least this secretary has her conscience, Sheng Bowen explained to Hu Ran. I dont keep her because she is pretty.

You dont have to explain anything to me. Hu Rans face looked unnatural.

If youre angry, Ill let her

No. Since youve explained it, I will believe you. If you were to send her away, Second Brother might send you an even more fearsome one who will harm you. Just keep her. Hu Ran stopped him.

Not angry?

Hu Ran chuckled. If you are a playboy, youd already have countless women. You wont be so innocent then.

Sheng Bowen cleared his throat and signaled Hu Ran not to continue the topic anymore.

Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are acting too normal recently, which is abnormal for them. So, you should pay attention to Second Sister-in-laws actions at home. Grandpa mentioned his will before, so Im worried that theyre planning something.

I know. Hu Ran nodded.

Sheng Bowen couldnt hold back and lowered his head to kiss Hu Ran.

Hu Ran blushed and glared at him. Do your work! Youre not serious at all.

I really have to work hard, because Im preparing something big.

There were many vice CEOs that should be cleaned up now.

That afternoon, the police were still going up and down the hill.

They had still not met the manager of the temple who, they heard, had gone down the hill that night.

The police immediately took action. But later, they discovered that the abbot only had one right hand.

They heard from the people living on the hill that he had injured his hand when he worked in a factory. He came to the hill and became the manager of the temple after that incident.

Moreover, this manager was not a very clever person. In that case, he should not be the one who committed the crime.

If it was not him, then who was it?

There were twelve families on the hill, and they were all old people. Who would be able to move two young people into the cellar and cut them into pieces then?

More importantly, the murderer did not leave any clues or fingerprints, not even a fabric fiber. If the murderer did not have good counter-reconnaissance skills, how would he have been able to do that? Obviously, the people living on the hill were not the murderer.

However, the murderer must be related to the temple somehow. How else would they explain the tattoos and the cellar?

This is so annoying. We have to climb the hill every time we need to go to the primary crime scene. Its so tiring!

The team started complaining.

Was the murder done on purpose?

Feng Shanshan chuckled and turned to look at Tang Yan.
