Chapter 480: It’s on My Hips

Sometimes, there were things no one could deny once they had changed. For instance, Sheng Kai had changed, so had Sheng Xiao.

Why was Sheng Xiao willing to intervene in the affairs of the big families in Jianchuan? Because he knew their potentials in influencing the future of Jianchuan.

It might seem that Lin Mu’an was just a police recruit now, but he was a very clever man. Once he was given the steppingstone, he would be able to establish his territory in his field of expertise.

As for the Lu family, although Qi’er was one of the reasons Sheng Xiao had helped Lu Qianqian, he was also making a backup plan for Xiao Qi and himself.

Zhongteng was a rising star in its industry. Hence, it easily attracted the jealousy of other people. If he could not bear the burden in the future, he would still have a port to dock his ship.

Lu Qianqian called Mu Qiqi to tell her about the meeting with the directors. She told her she had overcome her first obstacle. Lin Mu’an also called Mu Qiqi. He wanted to propose to Lu Qianqian. So, he asked for her help to give Lu Qianqian a surprise.

Seeing the couple’s relationship was working very well, Mu Qiqi felt very happy for her best friend.

Although it was already ten o’clock at night, she was currently somewhere in the woods with Feng Shanshan. They were inspecting a corpse just found in the woods.

“Great. I had promised my friends to go for karaoke with them. But it seems like I can only devote my wonderful night to this beautiful suburb. How about you? Won’t your Crown Prince get anxious when he does not see you?”

Mu Qiqi knelt beside the corpse. She examined the wounds when replying to Feng Shanshan. “I really wish to see the perfect body of that man and sleep in his arms comfortably. By the way, I heard that you have been very close to one of our seniors recently. Is it good news?”

“What good news? How long has it been since the incident of that brat?” Feng Shanshan snorted.

Mu Qiqi wanted to reply sarcastically. But when she flipped over the corpse with the other forensic doctors, everyone screamed.

Even for an experienced forensic doctor like their professor, he had never seen such a case.

“Back off, Qiqi, Shanshan.”

Their legs nearly gave out. They quickly walked away. Soon after, they were already throwing up under a tree nearby the roadside.

After a while, Sheng Xiao came with Xu Che to fetch Mu Qiqi home. But seeing her pale face at night, he hugged her. “What’s wrong?”

“Let’s go home…” uttered Mu Qiqi with much effort.

Feng Shanshan’s roommate also came to bring her home.

Soon, the car drove into the yard and Xu Che got off work. But Mu Qiqi was in the toilet, still throwing up.

Sheng Xiao had rarely seen Mu Qiqi vomited because of a corpse, even if the corpse had decomposed heavily. Was she sick today? He touched her forehead.

“It was too disgusting.”

“There are times that even you are afraid of?”

Mu Qiqi lay in Sheng Xiao’s arms to calm herself down. When she thought about it again, she would still have the urge to rush to the toilet. “I can’t stand it anymore. I think I will fall sick tonight.”

As her wish, Mu Qiqi indeed fell sick at midnight.

Sheng Xiao asked Xu Che to call for the family doctor. Everyone in the household got busy because of Mu Qiqi.

“Sheng Xiao, did you bully Qiqi?”

Sheng Xiao, who was sitting at a side, cleared his throat and said, “It’s because of a horrible corpse.”

Mama Sheng understood right away, “Oh. Then you should take care of her. I shall go to bed with your father now. I thought it’s you who bullied Xiao Qi.”

Sheng Xiao frowned at his parents. It was they who had wanted to come. He did not ask them to accompany his little one.

After a while, the doctor left. Only Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi were left in the room. However, Mu Qiqi kept on having nightmares and babbling. Sheng Xiao sighed and held her in his arms. He comforted her. “It’s alright now. I am here. It’s okay.”

Mu Qiqi was sweating all over and shivering. This was the first time Sheng Xiao hesitated in allowing her to become a forensic doctor.

The next morning, Mu Qiqi woke up in Sheng Xiao’s arms. Seeing this man leaning against the headboard, she felt sorry for him. “Why didn’t you lie down?”

“How can I sleep when you sweat and babble all night?” Sheng Xiao pinched her cheek.

“Then I shall call Xu Che and tell him you are not going to the office today. You should get a good sleep at home.”

Sheng Xiao shook his head and grabbed the phone in her hand. “it is unnecessary. I have an important meeting today.”

“Then you should sleep after the meeting.”

“I am very curious. What did you see last night that made you so scared?”

Mu Qiqi scratched her head and said, “It’s just that we found a male corpse in the woods. When we flipped him over, in his stomach, we saw…” Mu Qiqi could not say it.

But Sheng Xiao could guess the reason for her fright already.

“You are forbidden from entering the morgue for three days.” Sheng Xiao ordered. “If you fall sick because you are too frightened again, I will just throw you out lest you embarrass me again.”

Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao and rubbed against his body. “Promise me you will get a good rest today first.”

Sheng Xiao nodded helplessly. “I will find the time.”

“I will let Xu Che keep an eye on you.”

In fact, Mu Qiqi was still eager to know about the case last night. But Sheng Xiao forbade her from going to the morgue.

Feng Shanshan’s situation should not be much better. But as she was living with her friend, Mu Qianqian was less worried about her.

But after some time, she heard that the entire forensic team had vomited. So, what happened last night was not because of Mu Qiqi being too timid. It was indeed a horrible scene.

…

Hu Ran was eager to meet with Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi again. Because Third Brother told her they were two legendary people.

Even without Third Brother telling her, seeing his intelligence, Hu Ran knew he was extraordinary.

However, they needed a chance to be able to meet with them.

After breakfast, they carried out their daily routine as usual. Hu Ran liked the lawn of Sheng Mansion. So, she always sat or lay on the grass to read her comics.

She had been doing this for days. But when Hu Ran sat down that day, she felt something was wrong. When she stood up, Third Brother’s face changed. “Why is there shattered glass here?”

As the fragments were green, they were difficult to be seen with naked eyes.

Because Hu Ran sat on them, her clothes were scratched, so was her skin.

Although they were small, they were very sharp.

Hu Ran looked to her back. She could not feel the pain yet.

Third Brother’s face turned green. He quickly carried Hu Ran into their room. “Xiao Ran, lie on your belly first and let me see if the wound is serious.”

“What?” Hu Ran flushed. “It’s on my hips.”

“After I check on your wound, I will go to her and settle the account.”
